Here is chapter 21.
Espio and Sonia walked together in the park holding hands while eating ice cream cones. Espio ate vanilla ice cream and Sonia ate strawberry ice cream. Both were very happy to be together, because since the day had become partner had been unable to be with each other because the chameleon had been busy with the Chaotix and barely had time. But now that they were together they wanted to make up for lost time. When they reached the bench they sat there and continued eating his ice cream there. They were on the far side of the park bench.
As they ate ice cream Espio it occurred a funny idea. He took his cone and held Sonia's face and then rub a little of the vanilla ice cream on her nose. The magenta hedgehog smiled so did the chameleon and "revenge" decided to do the same near a little of his strawberry ice cream on the horn of him.
Both started laughing at what they had just done. When they stopped they were out of breath.
"I think we cleanse the ice" Sonia said.
"Do not worry, I'll clean" Espio said as he smiled.
The chameleon, approached the magenta hedgehog, ice cream and clean his nose with his tongue. This blushed at what he did. When finished, she decided to return the favor and wiped the horn with his tongue. When he was clean he separated from him and looked into his eyes. Both were flushed by what they had just done, but still does not care. The detour to the magenta hedgehog with his right arm chameleon and stayed like that for a while until your ice cream ended.
"I am very happy to spend some time with you" Sonia said.
"Just me. Since you came into my life have made me very happy and even made me forget the pain for the loss of my two daughters" Espio said.
"Really? I am very happy. Being with you has made me forget the nostalgia I feel about being separated from my mother and my two brothers to be".
"We seem to have alleviated our sorrows each other".
"You know something? I think we should tell our friends about our relationship. I will not have told anyone".
"I also think the same. But I think we should not tell Sonic".
"Why should we not say to Sonic? Technically, he's my brother".
"I know. But remember how to act overprotective brothers regarding their sister's boyfriends and do not want to risk having a problem with it".
"Now that I think you're right. Something similar happened with my siblings Sonic and Manic he left with Bartleby".
"That's what I want to avoid. We can tell them all but Sonic. I think we should not tell Tails or Amy".
"Why are they not?".
"Tails is Sonic's best friend, are almost like brothers and there are no secrets between them. Amy has always been in love with Sonic insurance and she could not keep a secret to him".
"Okay. We will not tell them. So we can be together as they are close will keep up appearances. Only we'll tell our closest friends".
Both began to look with love until he suddenly heard a voice that said "No need to observe appearances, because I know everything".
Espio and Sonia turned around. Behind them they were King Sonic and Amy holding hands.
"Hello Sonic, hello Amy. Let them taste" Espio said with some nervousness, could not believe it had come without his noticing.
"Equally, I see that planning something behind us" said King Sonic.
"No, that's not true" Sonia said without meeting his eyes.
"Are you sure?" Amy said to see the face of Sonia.
The magenta hedgehog nodded.
"I do not have to hide that they are partners. We were watching together for a long time" said the pink hedgehog.
"They saw us?" asked the chameleon.
"Yes, and should not be worrying about what I think about their relationship. I have no say with regard to who should be Sonia. Even my parallel. The decision is hers and hers alone".
Hearing that the chameleon and magenta hedgehog quieted.
"Thank you for your understanding brother" said the hedgehog, then blush at last she said. He had forgotten that he was not his brother in this universe.
"Do not worry, sister. By the way, Sonia, I would like a word with you. Alone" said the blue hedgehog.
"Of course" said the magenta hedgehog.
Amy, approached, Espio, and asked him to accompany her to leave the two brothers alone.
Once they were alone blue hedgehog sat beside the magenta hedgehog and began to speak.
"Sonia, the day you told us all about your universe of origin I was with some questions. Maybe you can answer".
"Okay Sonic. Tell me you want to know".
"You told that in your universe Dr. Robotnik was the biggest villain of your universe. I assume that the robotized several people, right?".
"It is true. The robotized many innocent people. Among them were Lady Windemire my foster mother, Manic adoptive father called Farrell. And our Uncle Chuck".
"In this universe there is also a version of Uncle Chuck?".
"Yes. Here too there one?".
"There was one. My father told me that he, my mother and pet dog died last year".
"I'm sorry".
"Do not worry. Is yours still alive?".
"Yes. It had been de-robot shortly before the final battle against Robotnik and stayed hidden in a safe place to protect women and children who lived in the nearby villages Robotropolis".
"And your father. Where was your father?".
"He died of an illness before my brothers and I were born. Mom never told us about it, since to them the memories of his death was very painful. That if we had a little father was Uncle Chuck. He said it had been a good king in the short time of their government. And tell me, how was your life as a king. I guess it has been quite active".
"Well, say yes. In this universe was not royalty, as you and your brothers. But yes my wife. I married Sally six years ago, after Lara-Su, the daughter of Knuckles, beat the tyrannical King Shadow in a battle in which both used their powers of Chaos. A year after the wedding Sally and I had two children whom we call Sonia and Manik".
"Wait a minute! How are they called?".
"Sonia and Manik. Sonia was a squirrel as Sally, but inherited my green eyes. Manik was an urchin like me, but blue eyes inherited from his mother and a missing tooth. Both inherited my ability to run at the speed of sound and my movement known as Spin Dash".
"Funny, the call just like me and my brother, although my brother's name ends with "C" and your son ended with "K". Out of curiosity you were never in my universe. I met some time ago a Sonic appeared in my world. You were not you?".
"No. I've never traveled to other universes. It must have been another Sonic".
"Oh, I see. Well, tell me more".
"Well a year ago I, along with the children of some friends, formed a new group Freedom Fighters. But...".
"But?".
"A few weeks ago, I had left the Kingdom of Acorn, along with Knuckles, Vector and Espio. The night we got back in the company of Tails we learned a great surprise. When we arrived at Castle of Mobius, this was engulfed in flames. We find my old friends Antoine and Bunnie, who were with their children Jacques and Belle. They had escaped the fire of the castle. When asked I heard the sad news. Sally, Sonia and Manik died in the castle. The wife and daughter of Knuckles also died. The wife, daughter and son of Tails too. The son of Vector and Espio's two daughters also. I was about to kill me that night after I learned that, but thanks to Tails and Antoine did not".
Recalling that King Sonic began to mourn without control. Those memories still affect him. Sonia began to embrace as she cried too, was very sad and painful for her too.
Behind a nearby bush and peered Amy heard the conversation and not stopped to mourn. Amy because she felt very sorry for Sonic. Espio because that also reminded him of what he suffered in losing Salma and Juanita.
After having vented a little blue hedgehog regained his composure.
"Sorry about that. I did not think to remember that, still affect me" said King Sonic.
"Do not worry. Better change the subject. This pink hedgehog called Amy. She and you are" Sonia asked.
"Well... she is... my girlfriend".
"Wow. I should have guessed. And how did you guys meet?".
"We met when we were young. She was 8 years old and I was 15. A robot called Metal Sonic kidnapped and went to save her. Since then she fell in love with me, but I did not feel the same way about her and I was in love with Sally. Once my attention even to use the Ring Acorn and asked the desire to become more and was given 16 years. The years passed and I just kept seeing her as a friend. During the final battle against Dr. Eggman was the last time I saw her for many years. We met a week after the death of Sally, Sonia and Manik. She attended the funeral. Tails invited her and Cosmo them to stay at home with us. With over the days we had things we had passed since the last time we had seen without realizing I started having feelings for her. One day had decided to Knothole in the company of her, Tails and Cosmo, as I was a little stressed with royal duties, but only Amy was free and I was alone with her. The first night we were there I finally realized that he loved her and confessed his feelings for her. From that moment we are couple".
"I feel a bit sorry for Amy. I hope 32 years to finally you will devolvieras their feelings".
"I felt guilty the first few days after we returned we couple. But she told me it did not matter, the important thing is to be together until the end of our lives".
"Well I'm happy for you".
"Incidentally, Sonia. When you return to your universe you going to do with Espio".
"What do you mean?".
"I mean that when you find your way back to your universe, or let it go you will ask you".
"Well, I had not thought of that. I want you both to be together, but I will not force him to stay away from home universe and through the same thing I went through. I have to think".
"Whatever decision you make, I hope it is correct and that the two are happy".
"Thank you. I see you're more mature than the Sonic of my universe".
"Really? Thank you. Well, I think I should retire. I wanted to spend some brothers with you and I did. I'll see you later. The next time I will come with Knuckles for us to you count some of the parallel of it in your universe".
"Okay bye".
The blue hedgehog winked and left.
Sonia suddenly felt the presence of Espio and turned toward him.
"Well, they talked talked for a long time. In, What talking about?" asked the chameleon.
"From various things. I'll tell you on the road" replied the magenta hedgehog.
Espio and Sonia held hands and left the park, while being observed by King Sonic and Amy.
"They make good couple, do not you think?" asked the pink hedgehog.
"Yes, if I believe it. I wish and be happy together forever" said the blue hedgehog.
So far the chapter. I hope you liked it.
