Chapter 1: Can't ever forget



"No! i'm sorry, i- i- i tried t-to. please i- i need-" "Sonic wake up!"
Knuckles shouted. "C'mon wake up!" "p-please sh-sh-Shadow i-" He tried again
"Sonic if you don't-" "aaaaaaaaaaah!" *pant* *pant* "Sh-Shadow?"
[so that's what sonic was dreaming about] "sonic, cool it! it's just a dream, it's all in your head"
Knuckles was worried about sonic. he'd been a mess ever since after the final hazard, when Shadow fell.
[i really wish he'd just forget shadow. especially since i am right here]
"but Shadow was- and then- and he- and i- and-"
Knuckles decided he'd had it up to his crest of this. "Sonic, please just SHUT UP!"
sonic started to say something but Knuckles closed his mouth.
"quiet. Shadow's gone, your just going to have to accept it. Look, i know you miss him but he wouldn't want you to sit here crying forever.
i know you had your hopes up, but you just have to let it go."
he reached up to touch sonic's cheek and found it wet, Sonic was crying.
"i won't forget, i can't forget," Knuckles whispered softly "no one asked you to" and he kissed sonic gently.
