Storm rode his board in the empty streets as he looked ahead to the shinning buildings that kept getting closer. He smiled at himself, his adventure will soon end, hopefully. After some few more blocks of riding, there it all stood in front of him. Night Babylon: a place of bars, stores, casinos, and the famous club that took over most of the area. Club Rouge was the brightest thing that Storm has ever seen. Club lighted up the neon sign and the Rouge with pink and white lights. A security guard was outside, checking people out. Music blasting whenever someone opened the door and then muffled when someone closes it.

Storm nervously walked towards the front of the line, he didn't want to be rude but he needed to find his friends.

"Hey! Get back in the line!"

"Cutter!"

"Dude, whatta hell!"

"You ain't even cool enough to get in!"

"Rouge wouldn't want you in her club!"

Storm ignored the comments people screamed out. He was the only concerned in one thing and one thing only.

"Are you on the list?" a giant silver back gorilla, with a black shirt that had security on it, stood in front of him. He wore an ear piece, black shades, and a clipboard.

"Umm… I don't think so. I think she knows me." Storm answered, not knowing what to say.

"You think or do you know?" He asked Storm. He didn't know what to say so all he did was say some few 'ummm's here and there.

"You know what? Leave or I'll send my buddies to throw you out int-"

"It's alright, George. I unfortunately know him." Storm looked over to the door where music and light flowed out of. There stood the owner of the club; a white bat with perfect make-up, a pink leopard slim fit dress that went down to her mid-thigh with another shorter wave skirt on top of it, her feet had some pink stiletto shoes. Storm grinned at her, relieved that he didn't have to fight his way in.

"Come on, Storm." Rouge said as she went back inside the club. Storm followed her, holding onto the flower and his board closely. When he went inside, the bass of the music vibrated through his body, the lights made him look everywhere for adjustment. He thought he heard a whistle and saw Rouge motioning to follow him. It took them a while to walk through all the dancers. When they reached to the other side of the club, they reached some stairs. They went up the stairs and reached a door that had to security guards protecting it. Once they saw Rouge, they separated and let her in, giving menacing stares to Storm. He gulped and followed Rouge, she sure knows her guards. When he walked in, the room looked like an office but everything was either purple, white, or pink. She had a desk that was purple with gems on the sides, chairs that were white and the back were shaped like pink hearts, a black couch on the side, a pink disco ball on the ceiling, a normal white lamp, and for some odd reason she had a photo of Knuckles on her desk. Storm jumped a bit when one the security guys closed the door behind him.

"Sit." She ordered him, and he respectfully did.

"From what the Chaotix told me, you are looking for that hawk friend of yours, right?" Storm nodded at her question. He didn't know what else to do, so he just nodded.

"Hm… you look like you've been through a lot. Why don't you take a rest." She pointed at the couch.

"No, I must find my friends first." Storm responded. This made Rouge smile.

"Okay then. Suit yourself. I've actually seen them at my club recently. I don't think they are here for dancing though. I suspect they are after one of my jewels or something. I'll be out there, making sure they don't and when I see them I'll tell you." She winked at him. Is this really going to end? Is he finally going to be back with Jet and Wave?

Bang! A loud noise was heard outside, making Rouge and Storm go stiff. Many screams and yells were heard. Storm saw Rouge run toward the door but then pushed back.

"Hey! What's the big idea?" Rouge called out, lifting herself from the ground.

"Sorry Ms. Rouge but it isn't safe for you. It's those birds again." Birds? Were they talking about Wave and Jet?

"I don't care if it's G.U.N! Let me out!" Rouge told him. Now a bit scared, the security guard opened the door. Storm was the first one out, Rouge amazed by his speed. When he looked down from the balcony, he saw chaos. There were people running and screaming everywhere. In all of that the music was still playing, but the lights were all turned off.

"Turn on the damn lights!" Rouge was heard demanding everyone to do what they were told. Suddenly, normal lights were turned on and there in the middle of the dance floor stood Jet and Wave on their boards.

"B-boss." Storm said, not audible enough for the two aviators.

"Rouge! Where the hell do you keep that chaos emerald?" Jet was heard as he pointed at Rouge.

"Dammit." She muttered low enough so that the people in the balcony can only hear.

"What are you talking about bird brain?" Rouge crossed her arms and looked away.

"Don't act dumb, lady. You know what I'm talking about?" Rouge just shrugged and shook her head. This angered Jet as he started to ride towards her.

"Lock my door!" She commanded.

"Boss!" Storm yelled out trying to get Jet's attention but he seemed so fix at the door. Storm now noticed that he was carrying a bag, now Jet's hand was in.

"Take this you broad!" Jet took out what looks like a bomb and threw it towards the door. Everyone jumped away, except for Storm, who was confused at the situation. A huge explosion brought many things crashing down, taking Storm as well. There was rubble everywhere. Storm couldn't see anything; it was all dark and quiet. Then he saw the white light again. He adjusted his eyes, the flower appearing again in front of him.

"I guess you're here. At least I'm not entirely alone." Storm said, his voice cracking here and there. He felt like he was going to fall to his knees and cry. He didn't want it to end like this, he really didn't. Suddenly, he jerked his head up, he thought he heard something.

"-orm. Yo, Storm! Get up, man!" Storm tried opening his eyes, light making him blink. Then he saw the familiar purple feathers of his friend.

"W-Wave?"

"Of course it's me!" Storm then saw someone push Wave away and was replaced by Jet shaking his shoulders back and forth.

"Come on, Storm! I heard there is this Chaos emerald at Night Babylon!" Jet told him with a smile on his face.

"What happened?"

"I don't know. We just found you asleep." Wave added in.

"Yeah. She was about to leave you, but as a good friend, I told her to look for you first." Jet popped in.

"WHAT? I told you to wait for Storm!"

"Whatever! I am the leader and I said to look for him."

"Yeah whatever! You wanted to leave once you knew Rouge had the emerald!"

"Did not."

"Did too."

"Did not."

"Did too."

"Did not."

"Did too." Storm smiled at himself. He was back and was glad that it was all a dream. He then looked over to his hand and noticed something. 'It's the little white and yellow flower.' Storm thought. He picked it up and ran inside the ship. Wave and Jet noticed and decided to go back in as well.

Storm ran to his room and out the flower in a vase. He felt the ship started to move. He then heard Wave and Jet argue again. He smiled to himself; his golden dream has always existed.

{Dun dun dunnnnnnn! The ending is here! This was the ending I made up since I started this story so be happy! But then my teacher was telling us that making it all a dream is when you can't think of anything…I did! But I thought a dream will be better. Either way, I made another version of it, which is the next chapter. Read both and be happy. Don't forget to review!}
