Chapter 15: A Day To Remember.

Sonic, Silver, and Blaze had handed Eggman Nega another defeat, thanks to the help of Marine, who used a mysterious green energy blast to distract the bad doctor, allowing Sonic and Silver to finish him some time after Blaze had transformed into a mysterious super form and nearly demolished the Egg Wizard.

The next morning, Silver and Blaze saw Sonic and Tails at the dock, talking to Johnny. The boat Tails was in was a large white sailboat that looked like it had flight capabilities, with two folding wings on the rear sides.

"Sonic! Tails!" Blaze called as they ran up to them.

"Oh, hi, Blaze." Sonic said.

"Good morning, you two." Tails said.

"Hi." Silver said.

"So, this is the ship you've built, Tails?" Blaze asked.

"Yeah." Tails replied. "I designed the ship to be capable of dimensional travel. I call it the 'SS Tornado EX'."

"I never thought it'd be so simple getting back to our own world." Sonic told them.

"Well, it's all thanks to the power of the Chaos and Sol Emeralds." Tails said.

"So, this craft uses the power of both sets of Emeralds?" Johnny asked.

"Yeah. The energy acts to form a sort of tunnel between this world and our world." Tails explained. Then Blaze remembered something.

"Hmm. So the Chaos Emeralds and the Sol Emeralds are…" Blaze said.

"…Sort of like North and South on a magnet." Sonic finished.

"If they have the power to repel each other, then they can attract each other, too." Silver said.

"And, from what I understand…" Johnny spoke up. "…if misused, they could potentially bring ruin to both worlds."

"That's what Eggman Nega said that one time." Blaze said.

"So, how do you prevent that from happening, Tails?" Sonic asked.

"Well, I haven't done anything special in particular." Tails told them. "They're both extremely stable. Because of that, I was able to put this ship together in such a short time."

"Uh, repeat that, in a language that we all can understand." Johnny said.

"Well, I got to thinking…" Tails started to explain. "Doesn't it seem like the emeralds are trying to help us?"

"The Chaos Emeralds…?" Sonic asked.

"…and the Sol Emeralds?" Blaze asked.

"Yeah. If they weren't, I don't think they'd be nearly as stable as they are." Tails told them.

"What you're saying is that it's like they want to be used to do this." Silver concluded.

"Trying to help us…?" Johnny asked. "How is that possible?"

"Beats me." Blaze said.

Tails then decided that it was time for him and Sonic to return home. Tails wanted to see Cream again, as well as Basil, who he considered an older brother, and he knew that Sonic wanted to get back so he could marry Amy. "I'm going to get us ready to launch, Sonic."

"I'll be right with ya, Tails." Sonic said before turning to Blaze and Silver. "By the way, Blaze, what happened to the scepter?"

"Of course, the Jeweled Scepter." Blaze said. "It's been returned to its altar, under even heavier guard than before. We shouldn't be seeing it get stolen anytime soon."

"Well, that's good." Silver stated.

Blaze then thought of something. "Sonic?"

"Yeah?" Sonic asked.

"Do you think that maybe you were brought here for a reason?" Blaze asked.

"Brought here by who?"

"The Emeralds."

"Well, you never know." Sonic replied.

Just then, the motor of the Tornado started up, meaning it was time to go.

"Sonic, it's time to go!" Tails called.

"Right!" Sonic said before turning to Blaze. "See you later, Bl…"

Before Sonic could finish his sentence, Blaze gave him a friendly hug. And surprisingly, Silver didn't get mad since he knew it. The three looked behind Silver to see Kylok, Tabby, Daikun, and Colonel, who had come to watch them leave. Sonic broke the hug and got into the Tornado, which began to sail off as Silver, Blaze, and Johnny looked on and the koalas returned to their homes. Sonic and Tails couldn't believe that Marine didn't come to watch them leave.

"I guess Marine didn't want to come after all." Tails said, a bit disappointed.

"I guess you're right." Sonic agreed before hearing a familiar voice.

"Hey!" The voice called. It was Marine. "Wait! Stop the boat!"

Marine, on a new boat, rode up to the Tornado. Sonic and Tails stopped for a moment, and Marine hopped on for a moment.

"Marine, I didn't think you were going to show up!" Tails said.

"What are you talking about, mate?" Marine asked. "I can't let you leave without seeing you off."

"By the way, Marine…" Sonic asked, seeing Marine's new boat. "…what's that ship?"

"It's the SS Super-Marine!" Marine said. "I managed to save a few Materials for it, but doesn't she look great?"

"You made that all by yourself?" Tails asked; Marine nodded. "Great job!"

"Yeah, well, I can't leave any stone unturned if I'm going to explore the world!" Marine told them. "And to do that, I need my own ship, after all."

Sonic looked at Marine as if she didn't know what she was talking about. Marine noticed, however.

"It's okay. I know what you're thinking." Marine said; Sonic and Tails looked surprised. "I don't have what it takes. I don't think I can do all this adventuring on my own."

"Marine…" Sonic began, but Marine wouldn't listen.

"But I'm not going to give up. I need to keep trying harder and harder until I can do it." Marine told them. "I mean, even though it didn't take much to build this ship, it was hard to do the drawing."

"Marine, it takes a lot of courage to recognize your own shortcomings." Tails said, placing his hands on Marine's shoulders. "It's really impressive that you've come to realize that."

"Sonic…Tails… Th…thanks, guys. You're the best mates ever." Marine said, starting to cry. "And I won't just focus on adventures, either! I promise that I'll study hard, too."

"That's good, Marine." Tails said.

"And next time we see each other, don't be too blown away by how much I've grown up!" Marine said in her usual excitement tone.

"Good luck." Sonic said.

"And…and I…I'll…I'll b-be…" Marine tried to say before she started to cry, a few tears coming from her eyes. She calmed down, however, when Tails quickly hugged her.

"Marine, you know that the captain's not supposed to cry." Tails told her.

"If you stick with it, then we really will meet again, someday." Sonic told her.

"S-Sonic…" Marine tried to say.

"Yeah. It's not like this is goodbye forever, Marine!" Tails said.

"Tails…" Marine tried to say something before finally cheering up a bit. "You're right! I'll make sure that I'll get to see you guys soon! I'll be sure to find you, no matter where you are, even if I have to go to your world."

"We'll be waiting." Sonic said.

Marine then hopped back on the Super-Marine while the Tornado started to rise from the ocean into the air.

"Bye!" Marine called while waving. Sonic and Tails did the same. Marine then turned around to head back to the island. She pulled up to the dock, tears in her eyes. Silver, Blaze, and Johnny were on the deck, waiting for her. She cried for a few seconds before Blaze nodded to her, letting her know that they would meet them again. Marine quit crying and smiled as the four of them turned to the direction that Sonic and Tails left in.

Over at the Tornado, Tails was about to engage the dimensional transporter.

"Hey, Tails." Sonic said.

"Yeah?" Tails asked.

"Do you think they'll know we're coming?" Sonic asked.

"Yeah. I managed to salvage the tracker that was placed on the Tornado that Armand was using to track our location." Tails told him. "Once we return to our dimension, his radar tracker should pick it up again."

The Tornado was then enveloped in a green flash of light, then disappeared into the sunrise.

Back at Armand's house, Armand was enjoying a peaceful sleep when his tracker beeped. Armand woke up immediately, disturbed as his sudden awakening. He looked at the tracker, and jumped out of the bed when he saw the signal.

"I don't believe it!" Armand said, surprised. "It's the Tornado's signal!"

Armand quickly got everyone on the line. Once they were on, Rector was the first to speak up.

"You better have a good reason for waking us up, tiger!" Rector said, annoyed.

"Guys, I just woke up when my tracker beeped." Armand told them. "I looked at it, and it was the Tornado's signal!"

The others were surprised when they heard the news, but they were also glad that they were back. Amy, Rector, Cream, and Basil decided to join Armand in seeing them return. They met at the beach where Armand's tracker said they'd be landing, and soon enough, the Tornado came into sight. It headed towards them, moving toward the water, then landed in the water and started to sail towards the coast. Once it pulled up, Tails got out, saw Cream, and ran to her, hugging her as soon as he could.

"Cream, I'm so glad to see you again!" Tails said.

"I'm glad you're back! I was so worried about you!" Cream told him.

Tails then looked to the side and saw Basil walking towards him. He broke the hug with Cream and ran towards him, nearly tackling him in a hug.

"Hey, little buddy!" Basil said as he got up.

"It's good to see you again." Tails said with respect for his "older brother". (Remember that Tails and Basil aren't really brothers, but they treat each other like they are.)

But that reunion wasn't as good as the one that was coming. Sonic hopped out of the boat, and heard someone running to him. He turned, and his heart nearly skipped a beat as he saw that it was Amy.

"SONIC!!!!" Amy yelled, running at him.

"Amy!" Sonic said as Amy ran into his arms. Amy was nearly crying, and Sonic had a couple tears of his own.

"Sonic, I can't believe you made it!" Amy said.

"I told you I was coming back." Sonic told her. "And I did."

Sonic then pulled Amy into a long, loving kiss. Amy wrapped her arms around Sonic and returned it. It had been a long time since they had kissed, and they were taking their time. They broke the kiss, and a few seconds later, Sonic felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned to see Rector smiling.

"Glad to have you back, Sonic." Rector said, not at all mad at the cobalt hedgehog.

"Glad to be back!" Sonic replied, not showing a hint of fear before turning to Amy.

"So, when are we having that wedding?" Sonic asked.

"Later today." Amy told him. "First, you need to say hi to everyone else. Then, I want to spend a couple of hours alone before the wedding."

A couple of hours later, Sonic had received something of a welcome home party when he saw all of his friends. After that, Sonic and Amy went out, deciding to have some time alone. Rector didn't even think about watching them, because he trusted Sonic.

It was about four in the afternoon when the chapel was all ready for the wedding between Sonic and Amy. As usual, Mayor Draco was presiding over the marriage. Amy was wearing a bright white dress that Cream had picked out, while Sonic was wearing a special black suit with yellow lining on the shirt and shoes (Sonic's Black Tie suit from Sonic Rivals, but with pants. If you don't know about it, look it up, if you can). It was time for the wedding to begin. Soon, the wedding music started playing and Amy came down the aisle. She walked nervously to the front until she was standing next to Sonic. Once the wedding music stopped playing, Draco began speaking.

"On this glorious day in Station Square, we come here to witness the marriage of Sonic the Hedgehog to Amy Rose. If anyone has a reason that this should not continue, speak now or forever hold your peace."

No one said a word, making it clear that nobody had any regrets. Draco started to speak about the importance of marriages. He took a while, but eventually finished as everyone respectfully listened.

"Now, do you, Sonic, take Amy to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, to honor and cherish, until death do you part, as long as you both live?

"I do." Sonic said.

"And do you, Amy, take Sonic to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, to honor and cherish, until death do you part, as long as you both live?"

"I definitely do." Amy said.

Tails came up and produced a cushion with two gold rings in the center of it. Sonic took Amy's hand, took a ring from the cushion, and placed it around her finger. Tails walked over to Amy, who did the same thing to Sonic.

"Then by the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." Draco concluded.

Sonic didn't waste any time, pulling Amy to him as they shared the first kiss of the marriage. There was a bunch of cheering as the marriage became official. Everyone crowded around the new couple and congratulated them. This was a happy day for everyone. Armand opened the door to the next room where a huge celebration was ready. In the center, there was a wedding cake with figures of Sonic and Amy on the top.

The party was called, and the celebration began. Sonic and Amy cut the cake and handed out pieces to everyone. The party went on for a couple of hours, with a lot of congratulations to the two hedgehogs. Everyone had a good time, and once the party was over, everyone slowly left, one by one.

That night, Amy slept over at Sonic's house. As they started to fall asleep, they had one more conversation.

"Sonic?" Amy said.

"Yeah, Amy?" Sonic asked.

"I'm so glad we're married." Amy told him. "I never thought my dream would come true."

"Well, I'd say it has." Sonic said. "I knew it was your dream, ever since we first met. But now, I guess you're the luckiest girl ever."

"I think I am." Amy said as she kissed Sonic one last time before falling asleep. Sonic followed up soon after.

"Good night, Amy." Sonic said before laying back and letting his thoughts run wild.

Nega had been defeated, peace had returned, and the future looked bright for everyone. He didn't know what the next day would bring, but he knew that it would be a good one as he fell asleep himself.

End of Story.

And a double update finishes the story. Sonic and Amy are finally married (you know I'm not a big fan of such ceremonies, so I edited the Tails x Cream marriage part. I edited it to the point where it was much different.). But what do I care? The main focus of the chapter was them getting home. Well, with that, the story is finished. The next one will come in a few days or so. It depends on how much time I have on my hands.

As for the Knuckles x Shade oneshot, I'll get to it, so be patient.

Read and give your final review.
