A/N: Something for 9/11... YEAH, I KNOW I'M LATE! SHUT UP! Moving on, this, of course, is a huge AU. And is tragic. And sad. I apologize if I make you cry and have feels.

We were the definition of buddies. The meaning of team. We poked fun out at each other, and had our fights. But no matter what, we always looked out for each other. When one looked gloomy, we knew that something was wrong. We had fun. Especially during school breaks. Except one.

"...A-Am I crying?" I asked to myself as I looked over your guys' graves.

I chuckled. Oh, it wasn't a happy one.

I shook my head as the memories flashed through my head.

The Twin Towers. Both inside and outside, it looked awesome. And the view, oh my dazes, the view!

We all looked at it, awing at how cool it looked. However, we didn't notice what was coming towards the towers.

A plane.

And it crashed into it. The building shook. I was frozen in fear, but you two managed to snap me out of it. You both showed fear in your eyes. You both were concerned. So all three of us ran, trying to get to the exit. I panted as soon as I was outside, but was still injured. I then smiled, knowing that we were all alive.

Or so I thought.

You guys weren't around. I looked all over the area, but I couldn't find you two. Then I realized that you were both inside. I tried to run back, but was prevented from doing so.

I couldn't believe it.

My friends.

You were so kind to me. Sure, we argued sometimes, but we were still friends.

You two looked out for me no matter what.

And you two managed to save my life, but not your own.

And you both are still in there. Still in the destruction. And... And...

Dead.

They died.

They died in order to save me.

My two friends...

My two friends died trying to save me.

They died...

Died.

"N... N... No." I whimpered, runnning my hands through my tan hair. I dropped to my knees. "N-No!"

I sniffed, shaking my head, then lightly laughed. "Y-You guys are probably disappointed in me, huh? I'm here sobbing when I could be moving on. I-I'm such a failure, aren't I?"

I slowly got up on my feet. "I-I promise you guys this, I'll get a move on with my life. I'll visit you both once in a while, but I will just go on with my life. Okay? You hear me?!"

I took deep breathes. "Y-You hear me? I promise both of you that. Okay? And I won't break it!"

I wiped my eyes. I spun around, and started to walk away before stopping. "... Guys? I hope you can hear me. I will keep my promise. And... And... I miss you. Both of you. I also hope you guys are happy up there. Having fun... So... See you later."

I finally left, memories still following me. The sounds of screaming in my ears. Smell of destruction filling my nostrils.

And your faces. Laughing and smiling before turning to shock and anguish.

I...

I miss both you.

And I'll never forget you two.

Everything you have done for me.

Looking out for me, caring for me, being my friends, and of course, saving my life.

...

My...

My name...

My name is fox McCloud.

And my friends, Falco Lombardi and Wolf O'Donnell, saved my life.

During an attack that happened on 9/11.

A/N: ;_;

FEELS! Why did I write this?! Especially 5 days after 9/11? Oh well... Sad AU is sad. And yes, they are humanoid and not anthros. Yeah, this makes the story sound a bit more odd due to their names, but at this point, I don't really care. Moving on, this was for 9/11.
