Kitty: Wow, my first official Songfic. Be afraid... Be very afraid. Yes, in all my years of fanfiction writing I've never actually did a songfic...

Shadow: If you're wondering any of those old one shots she has up that still have lyrics on them she doesn't conceder songfics.

Kitty: You're in a peaceful mood today.

Shadow: Shut-up...

Kitty: Anyway if you can guess what pairing I've been obsessed with lately then you'll know what pairing this is about. Gleeness.

Shadow: Just, get on with it!

Kitty: The song is "Somewhere, Someday" by N'sync. Yes, I do like that band as my popularity diminishes from it --... But, when I first listened to the song this small sequence started playing in my head with Shadow and Maria. Trust me you'll know the sequence when you come it it. It was SO awesome and sappy I just had to turn it into a songfic!

Note: Lyrics are in between brackets ( ... ). POV is Shadow's.

Somewhere, Someday

By: Kitty Hamagochy

( ... When clouds above you start to pour

and all of your doubts rage like a storm

and you don’t know who you are anymore

let me help you find what you’ve been searching for ... )

Today, for some reason, it was quite cold. Though it could possible be because it was autumn. The days were short, and the sun was dimmed. I don't know why but this time of year always reminded me of... Maria. Though she is gone, I know that well, I still keep her close to me. So close, in fact. my hart is shut from all others who wish to love me like she could. Though many say this is unhealthy, I really don't care. The truth is, I could never love anyone as much as I loved her. So I'm really saving others from not being loved completely by their mate. Because, she's always there, right beside me. Watching me, and still loving me. Though I don't know, just about sure, if she would want me to fall in love again. I would feel as if I was betraying her if I did so. I guess, she's really not gone from me after all.

Somewhere there’s a field and a river(somewhere)

you can let your soul run free(someday)

Someday let me be the giver

let me bring you peace

Somewhere

Somewhere there’s a break in the weather(somewhere)

where your heart and spirit go free(someday)

Someday it’ll be for the better

Let this bring you peace ... )

I walked slowly through the forest I traveled at the moment. Since the fight with the alien Black Doom who disrupted my past I've been traveling. I don't know why, nor could I tell you where I'm going. The forest was dark and looming. The shadows felt like they were attaching themselves to my ebony fur and dragging themselves along with my stride. The ground shattered as my air boots ruffed the dead forest floor. All around me multi colored hues floated in the air, formed in cut triangular leaves. They danced with the light autumn winds that weaved uneasily through the elder oaks. The sun's rays that made it through the dense canopy above lighted the earth in blotches around the forest floor. As my fur passed beneath them those spots became warmed by their touch.

( ... Girl I know you think no one sees

the weight on your shoulders, but you can’t fool me

and aren’t you tired of standing so tall

let me be the one to catch you when you fall ... )

You might wonder what I think about between my journeys. Or, you may already know. As time passes me through these courses all I can do is think of what could of been, and unlock more keys to my past. Through the trials with the Black Arms not all of my memories were unlocked. Still, to this day, I don't know everything. But, in a way, that doesn't bother me anymore. Instead I think of what could of been. Now-a-days that seemed to overcome my sorrow. Wondering and imagining what could of been. One thought I had become partial to for a while now. Ever time I ran through it in my mind my hart was lifted and felt as light as an angel's wing. A future that could possible never come into being.

Set in particularly nowhere, away from prying eyes and questionable consequences. Away from skeptics and judgmental beings, I found peace. A place where the air is always warm, night or day, a place where the sky is always brightened, whether it be from moon or sun. A place unreachable from humanity, that's were I found peace. The fields shown brightly in emerald shades as the sun hung happily in the sky. Clouds scattered in the sky perfectly creating darkened jungle hues upon paradise. The lightened field seemed to stretch on till eternity far off on the horizon. No ending and no beginning, just as I liked it.

( ... Let me bring you joy

bring you joy

Let me bring you peace

Bring you peace

take these tears that you cry

And trust them to me

Let me give you heart

give you heart

Let me give you hope

give you hope

Be the one constant love

that you’ve never known ... )

I jogged carelessly through the banks feeling the light wind tussle my quills against my ruby eyes as I look behind me. I smiled at the figure following closely. Maria's joy brightened me to no end, the happiness ever consuming my soul. We ran through the never ending field, only focusing on one another. Soon she would catch up to me, grasping my neck gently with her slender arms and forcing me to fall with her. Our laughter resonated through out our paradise. Her body felt so light and warm against mine. Her golden hair tickled my cheek and her breathing made my chest fur humid. Maria would lift up her head to stair down at me, her aquamarine eyes reflecting my ruby ones with such love and peace. Then, she would bend down and kiss me. A long never ending kiss that sent shivers down my spine though it was only imagined. Her lips were warm and sweet to the taste. I would wrap my arms around her, pulling her head closer to mine, deepening it ever slightly.

My eyes opened and shut again from the frozen air around my form. I sadly shook the feeling from me, an empty, pitiful feeling that somehow kept me going. I started my stride again, continuing to deepen myself within the wilderness walls. They seemed to become thicker and more closely packed as I grew deeper. Perhaps I was reaching something. I soon had to slim my body to fit through the close quarters I was approaching. It was easy to accomplish, being as small and thin as I was. I don't know why I became so intent on approaching this particular destination. Something was drawing me I guess. I looked on a head to notice it became cut in darkness. Whether the trees were directly against each other was unnoticed to me at the moment. Though the sound was drowned out from the lack of circulation I could still pick up small vibrations. It sounded distinctly like running water. As I arrived at the barricade I found that the material that prevented my entrance was nothing more then a few loose vines. I pulled them away and let my eyes adjust to the bright shock of light that came pouring from the opening I had created.

My crimson pupils examined the beauty that was before me. A small oasis stood, untouched by the hatred of mankind. As I stepped forth I was greeted with great warmth and light, the refreshing smell of fresh water filled my nostrils, making me thirsty. I headed forwards, towards the pool that made its living from the delicate, cascading waterfall above it. The meeting point of the two created ripples around the surface, sending delicate mist that dewed my quills. The space almost looked as if it had captured starlight within itself. Small sparkling forms fluttered around the mist elegantly. Towards the edge of the pool I looked down. It was so clear and pure I could easily see the white sand at the bottom, with small koi and other such fish making the oasis their home. I knelt down and took off my gloves; both were sweaty and needed air. I dipped my paws through the refreshing surface of the water, it wasn’t as cold as one would expect from the autumn weather. I watched as the fish scuttled away from my presence within their domain. I gently took a pawful into my mouth. It cooled my tongue and made my fur shake for a moment. I opened my eyes to view the sparkles from before. They begin to circle me; one finally gathered enough courage to land on my nose. I was finally able to see what exactly they were, nothing more then Silver Dew Moths, their wings reflecting the immense light of the oasis.

( ... Let me be the one

Let me be the one

To catch you when you fall

Let me bring you peace ... )

I gave a light smile to it as it finally released me. As I stood here I began to think. I must make others view me as selfish to close my heart to all but Maria. And maybe that was true. I loved her. No... I love her. I love her with every fiber of my being, whether she truly is with me in spirit or reality. But, what is reality? There is no true definition. How do I know she really isn't alive? Somewhere we could meet once again. Somewhere I could finally touch her other then in my fantasies. Someday when I can tell her just how much she means to me. Perhaps, somewhere, someday, I could show here this place.

(End)

Kitty: MASTERPIECE!!

Shadow: (Plugging his ears) Shut-Up Already!

Kitty: I really liked this. The ending was kinda off because I forgot what I was originally going to do for it! UHG! I Hate My Memory! But I really liked this fiction and I hope you did too!

Shadow: You're forgetting something else!

Kitty: Oh yea, I wanted to tell you the new line up of my favorite Sonic the Hedgehog Couples!

1: Knuckles and Rouge (That will never change)

2: Shadow and Maria (Uped one level!)

3: Sonic and Amy (Sadly, I'm sort of weaning away from them. Probably because Amy is starting to creep me out in the new games)

4. Chaos and Tikal (Always liked, just not one of my top tops)

5. Tails and Cream (Not really the best mostly because I love Tails myself!)

There's also two new couple pairing I'm starting to get interested in.

1. Silver and Amy (Oh come on! They look so cute to me!)

2. Sonic and Elise (Perhaps Sonic and Amy are going to be replaced by this. They are really sweet together in the game. I've never seem Sonic act that way towards a girl before. It’s something amazing and adorable to me)

So that's all for now, R&R! I know you want to my happy people! I have fans out there! Hello! Hey!
