This is the sequel to "The Perfect Nightmare." Several reviewers requested a sequel so here it is!

This one is from Cosmo's point of view.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything Sonic the Hedgehog, whether Sonic X, the video games, or otherwise.

I know leaving was important.

I gave up my own life to save those of everyone in the galaxy. They matter, especially the lives of my friends. Especially Tails...it needed to be done. It is truth, even though it hurts those I love.

I do not regret that decision...I never will...but I wish I could forget the expression on Tails's face as I told him to fire. I need to tell him so many things; it will all be okay would be the first thing.

I know leaving was important.

I have seen so much death in my life because so much of my life has been war. And I would only feel more pain, more pity for the helpless victims. Their lives ended much too soon.

But do I feel pity for myself? No; when I felt my purpose was right in front of me, I knew that was what needed to be done. I felt so beautiful. I felt like I mattered. Why could I not see sooner? My friends tried so hard to convince me of this....

I already miss them.

I saw them only seconds ago, my friends shocked faces as they saw my smile. They cared about me more than I could ever know in my life. Why? How did they know I mattered?

And Tails...he was...something else. He smiled and reassured me every time I was afraid. He would tell me that there were friends who cared about me. He would tell me I wasn't alone. I was never alone.

I already miss them.

It isn't that I feel lonely. It's that...I just don't want to leave them. They don't want me to leave either. And yet, I know I have to leave. I don't think they do.

I know my friends; they will not stop hoping that I will return. And yet, they won't let that hold them back. They fought the Metarex with all their hearts but still had the time to laugh and love.

I am not too far away.

In Heaven, I know I will be able to still be with my friends. I will send all my love to them and hope for the best in whatever they may do.

This is an endless dream...I feel everything falling into place, everything perfect. I have purpose and hope and friends. And my friends still have me.

I am not too far away.

How I wish Tails could hear me...he needs me. He is crying so much...he is in so much pain...why can he not see that I'm okay now? I am here, so close. So, so close.

He was my best friend. Through everything he comforted me. I want to comfort him now. I know he needs an endless dream. And once he knows I'm all right, he will have it.

I know leaving was important, even though I already miss my friends. But I am not too far away.

Tails, I am there with you.
