Ok, I gotta hurry and write this. I'm leaving for my trip in about 40 minutes. So without further ado, my grand finale!!!! YAY!

Chapter 11

Realizations (is that correct?)

The next six months were probably one of the busiest in my life. A lot happened.

After signing the building permit, we got the repair shop up within three months. For two of those months, Tia was recovering in the hospital. I would go see her and give her any updates when ever I could.

The repair shop was a great success, only days after it was built. Sonic, Knuckles and I worked as mechanics. Knuckles was just part time, because he didn't trust anyone but himself to guard the master emerald. (lol) Amy, Cream, and Tia worked as check-in ladies in the office. They all took turns of who would work when. (Whoa, that was an odd sentence!) They did what they could everywhere else. I was extremely pleased with 'my' business.

On Amy's 21st birthday, Sonic and Amy got engaged. I was kind of jealous, but I tried not to lead on. I would tell myself, that I was only 15, and I would remember Sonic's words about how I had plenty of time.

After the wedding, I stood outside the church, and watched as Sonic and Amy went off. As I stood there, Tia came up to me, and asked if I was ok.

"What's wrong Tails?" she asked. "You seemed a bit distant today."

"I did?" I asked, ashamed.

I had been trying to hide my mood.

"A little bit," Tia replied. "But it was hardly noticeable. I noticed something though…"

I sighed.

"Just jealous I guess," I said as I stared out into space.

Tia made her way in front of me, staring right into my eyes.

"I mean, I wish I had a relationship, like them, someone to love. You know?"

"Guess I don't know how you feel actually," Tia replied, moving back to my side.

Cautiously, she put her hand in mine. I didn't object.

"I have someone to love," she said.

It hit me then. I did have someone; Tia. I did like her. Or was it love? It didn't matter; I did have someone who cared about me. And I cared about Tia.

"I guess you're right," I said as I looked into her silver eyes. "I do have someone."

I squeezed her hand in mine. We stood there for a second, then Tia said,

"Thank you Tails."

"For what?" I asked.

"For being such a good friend," she replied. "I've never had anyone who's allowed me to be me without objection."

She blushed.

"You're a first."

"No, thank you," I said. "For allowing me to be myself, for always lending a helping hand… For everything. You may not be a first, but thank you just the same."

Tia smiled, and I smiled as we stood there, hand and hand, watching the setting sun. And that's when I knew, that both of my wishes, were now granted. I was the happiest fox alive.

OHHHH! I love that chapter! Romantic, isn't it?! Lol anyway, the next story I will write will be another SonAmy, called Forever Love. It's ok, but a little rushed. Read it anyways, please! After that, I will write some more SonAmy stories, and some oneshots. Sorry, for now, I have no Tails' ideas. I'll look at any idea though, so you just ask, and I'll see what I can do! Finally, after my Sonic ideas are through… Living in a Secret World! Whoo, that's a good one, with long chapters! I can't wait to start writing that one! And then there's a new idea that I'll get on someday, The Secret Diaries. And then I might do some others. Look at my profile for more info on these. Anyways, I will hopefully start writing Forever Love when I get back from my trip. Hope you liked this story! Bye!
