This Time Won't You Save Me?..

10

~next morning ~

The sun was high in the sky, everyone was up and ready.

"Okay everyone, let's head out!" Shadow said

A tumble was heard from Tail's plane.

"Hey guys.." Zata said with a small wave

"Z, what the hell are you doing?" Rouge asked

"I thought I could help.." Zata said

"No, go back home with Alexia." Rouge demanded

"You.." Alexia said as she ran to Zata, then sucker punched her

"Oww, what is this chicks problem?" Zata asked grabbing her face

"You are the rat, Salena was seeing!" Alexia yelled holding her hand

"You are lucky I am nice, let's go back and talk all of this out." Zata said rubbing her cheek

"Alexia." Amy said giving her a death stare

"Fine.." Alexia said with a small voice crack

"Now let's go. You two go." Shadow said

~Back with Sally and Manic~
(Recap)

"You know what I don't get? You say you're my best friend but you're against me right now! Why?" Manic asked

"Because.." Sally said looking away

"No tell me why! Why?" Manic asked again

"Because I love you!" Sally yelled

"Sally-" was all Manic could say

(Continued)

Manic was cut off by Sally, she kissed him. He was surprised.

"W-why did you do that!" Manic asked looking confused

"Because I at least had to do that once in my life! I've been wanting to do that since forever!" Sally said turning away

"What?" Manic asked touching his lips

"I have been in love with you since we were kids, you've been the one who has my heart" Sally said

"But you've been in love with my brother?" Manic asked

"No, Manic, it was you, it's always been you.. Me and your brother just have an arranged marriage.." Sally said

"Yes I know but, I thought you were, like how lucky to be in love with the person you have an arranged marriage. " Manic said looking at her

"No, I was never in love with your brother. Your brother is my best friend.. " Sally started twirling her finger in her hair,"I've been in love with you since day one. I've always and only wanted you.. It was love at first sight." Sally said putting her hand on his cheek while tears fell down her face

Manic grabbed her hand, he held it there,"I never knew.." he said

"Because I was scared, I was scared of love, I was scared of the unknown." Sally said into his eyes

Manic looked back into her eyes, her ocean blue eyes, the deep eyes he has known his whole life, now those same eyes looked different. He seen how much love she had for him, he seen their future in his eyes, of what could be. Looking in her eyes, he got lost, his worries went away, he felt at peace. He ever so softly kisses her lips, placing his other hand on her face, wiping tears away with his thumb, he pulled away,"Let's explore the unknown together, you and I, forever.. " Manic said
