From My Dreams

 

It's an ordinary day on Angel Island. Quiet, peaceful and no Eggman to be found anywhere. It had been a while since that incident which caused Station Square to be flooded. People have been sticking their necks out trying to bring the city back the way it used to be, including Sonic, Tails and Amy.

 

I haven't heard from any of them since the incident with Perfect Chaos. After Perfect Chaos was defeated and he returned to the past, Sonic sped off straight away to help rebuild the city. Tails probably went to add some adjustments to his new plane and Amy… god knows. Probably out shopping or trying to get Sonic to go out with her. And that cat… haven't heard from him. After the incident he just blundered off with his little frog, towards the direction of the train that lead to Mystic Ruins.

 

Chaos is gone. Back to where he belongs, with no more anger. She went with him. I haven't seen her since they left together.

 

Everyday since Perfect Chaos, I have been on top of the altar, guarding the Master Emerald, no longer shattered. Days where I can just lay there, listen to the wind blow and have my privacy, used to appeal to me so badly. But they don't anymore. Something has been bugging me and something has been missing. I long to know what it is.

 

I see her in my dreams, every night when I go to sleep; she'll be there, with that warm smile and beautiful sapphire eyes. Sometimes it would just be her and I, alone together on Angel Island, overlooking the world below us. Or it would be that same nightmare of her father's greed.

 

I miss her. Crazy as it sounds, I, Knuckles the Echidna, miss her.

 

XXXXX

 

I wake on top of the altar, my eyes making out the towering form of the glowing Master Emerald before me. I got up, dusting myself off before placing a hand on the large jewel.

 

Could she really have spent over 1000 years in there?

 

I wander off to find my breakfast, my stomach growling, almost like it's chewing on its on insides. I leave the altar and the Master Emerald behind, walking through the forests for some decent fruit.

 

I spot a tree full of ripe apples and I spend a good deal of time trying to receive some. It's actually a lot harder than it looks. When my arms were full of apples, I began to head back to the altar slowly, as not to drop anything. I listen to the birds singing as my mind wanders back to the dream I had last night.

 

She was there, in the centre of the Chao Garden, right near the waterfall, stroking a pure white chao on the head. She smiled at me with that lovely gaze and just as everything was going along so well, everything disappeared and I awoke.

 

It was different from the other dreams. Something just kept nagging me about this one. I wonder what the hell it could mean.

 

I finally reach the altar, slowly dragging my food up the crumbling stairs, as I determinedly managed to reach the green emerald. And what I saw wasn't expected…

 

Right there, in front of the Master Emerald, was a note, held down by quite a big stone. I glance at it warily, gently putting down my food and lifting the stone to read what the note said.

 

`Meet me in the Chao Garden at eleven'

 

That was all it said. I think about it. It sounds a lot like an Eggman trap to me, but something inside of me is telling me it isn't. My heart and head conflict. Should I go? Should I not? I begin eating a few apples while I think about it. It isn't long before eleven. I have to make up my mind. It's now or never.

 

I glance down at the note again and my eyes pause on two words, `Chao Garden'. Why would anyone want to meet me in the Chao Garden? I've only been there a few times, to check on everything and just to get away from everything. I wasn't even aware that Eggman knew the Chao Garden existed. After a lot more thought, I made up my mind.

 

I'll go.

 

I turned back toward the gleaming Master Emerald and smiled, placing one of my large hands on it, “I'll be back…” I whispered to it as I took off into the undergrowth.

 

I travelled through the forest until I reached the edge of Angel Island. I sucked in breath and jumped off, stretching out my arms and gliding to the bottom. I felt the air whip my dreadlocks, and it felt utterly amazing, almost like I could fly.

 

I gently landed in the Mystic Ruins, following the river. I pass a hut and spot that large purple cat fishing. So that's what he's been doing with his time. Oh well, I can't afford to talk to him now. I continue on, pushing stray twigs out of my eyes as I reached the cliff I was looking for. I grabbed the wooden ladder and began to climb, my arms almost blurs.

 

I reached the top and jumped in the cart, thinking about just who was at the Chao Garden. As the cart travelled slowly, I scanned the note which was clenched in my fist again.

 

`Meet me in the Chao Garden at eleven'

 

I grow impatient and I release a huge sigh of relief when the damn cart finally got to the other side of the Mystic Ruins. I jump out and gave it a kick, “Should've walked,” I grumpily stated to myself.

 

I continued on past the waterfall. I was nearly there. The teleportation device for the Chao Garden was just in the cave nearby. I continue on, my fists clenched, my mind filled with a thousand thoughts. My mind keeps travelling back to the dream of her. My mind starts wandering and I shake my head vigorously. No, it can't be her, she's gone!

 

I find the cart leading to the teleportation device, but having learned my lesson with the last one, I merely glared at the cart before walking past it. I'm nearly there…

 

I see the teleportation device. I hesitate, worries beginning to take over, “Should I even be here?” I asked myself. The Master Emerald was top priority; someone like Eggman could have stolen it by now! No. I have to find out who it is. Who wants me? I step onto the teleportation device, my mind made up.

 

My eyes open as the blinding light produced from the teleportation device disappeared. I took in the beauty of the Chao Garden. Several baby chao scooted about, some eating fruit from the trees, others playing with toys. Most of them looked the same, baby blue with big blue eyes, tiny pink wings and small yellow balls floating on their heads. There were some I didn't recognize though. There were various coloured ones. One was a royal blue colour, with actual quills, big green eyes and tiny wings which it took a lot of effort to notice. It didn't take much to tell that was a Sonic chao. Strange, it could only mean that this is Sonic's chao. Sonic never seemed the type to raise chao. Sure enough, there was a Tails chao and an Amy chao running around too, the Tails chao being golden with two tiny tails, big blue eyes and big fox ears and the Amy chao being pink with big green eyes, quills and hedgehog ears.

 

I'm confused. There's nobody here other than chao. I must've been tricked. I'll bet it was Eggman. Wait until I get my hands on him!

 

Suddenly, a pure white chao with big blue eyes, tiny blue wings and a blue halo floated over to me and grabbed my hand. I blinked in surprise at it gently guided me along. I didn't have a clue what was going on. Suddenly, the chao stopped and I looked up. I nearly fainted at what I saw.

 

There she was, stroking a pure white chao, a lovely smile on her face, her sapphire eyes filled with love. Her orange fur gleamed in the sun and my heart skips a beat as her eyes meet with mine. She gestures for me to sit down and I gulp, nodding.

 

She tells me everything. Her past, her family, Chaos and, the most important information, why she was here. It turned out her spirit often wandered the Chao Garden for peace and resolution, and to be with the chao. I can only listen, nodding in the right places. I'm so glad she's here.

 

One thing is for sure, I don't have to miss her anymore.

 

A/N

 

My Knuckles/Tikal one shot has been finished! I hope you enjoy! The request is done Lacey, and I hope you enjoy it, though I personally think I could've done a lot better. So… if you like Sonic couples, you might wanna check out Unbreakable Bonds sometime, the link is in my profile.

Other than that, I'll continue on Because of You and do that Sonic/Amy one shot next. Until next time!
