Sonic and Amy walked slowly through the forest. "You know Amy, you look really beautiful in natural light filtered through trees... or anywhere else, but that's where you are right now." Amy laughed a little.
"I love you Amy."
"I love you too Sonic, but where are we going?"
"We're taking the scenic route to the ruins, so we'll get there just in time, and we'll let Sakura and Syaoran have as much time as possible."
"So, we can't stop at all?"
"Well, if Tails' calculations are correct, we have around ten minutes of extra time."
"Well, then let's stop her for a little."
"All right." They found a large rock and sat down.
AT TWO EGGMAN BASES Gun troops, using tactical data provided by a certain flying fox, stormed into the buildings, taking out countless robots along the way. 20 minutes later, all of the troops stood outside as the buildings exploded. The leader of one of the squads spoke into his communicator. "Mission accomplished commander."
"Good work, now get back to base, the others will take care of the last Eggman outpost."
"Yes sir."

"You're very welcome, Sakura," Syaoran said with a slight chuckle. He strolled over to her side of the room and sat down beside her on a bench, like the two of them had always done in Clow... I'm having some kind of crazy deja vu. How long can I keep her from guessing until she forgets? And how can I do that while telling her I love her? Because I have to tell her... I have to.
"Syaoran-kun..." Sakura was far too close to turn back, but far to afraid to move on. Her eyes glistened with anxiety as she swiveled them to examine his face. "...who are you really?"
Syaoran looked taken aback by her question, but carefully controlled his facial expression to stay collected. "My name is Syaoran."
"No, not your name. Who are you, Syaoran?!" Sakura leaned in. She was so close... "When did we meet, and why are you really finding my feathers for me? What is our connection? And why can't I remember?"
Syaoran's eyes widened. No. In trying to be firm, his voice came out too cold. "Sakura, I'm not keeping anything from you. Who I seem is who I am."
Sakura stood up abruptly, and it was only then did she notice the warm tears flowing down her cheeks. Glaring heatedly at the boy she could never love without knowing his past, she spat out the words farthest from her true intentions. "Well, if you won't tell me the truth, how can I ever trust you about anything? How do I know you're not a mass-murderer in disguise, Syaoran-kun?! I really want to like you, but for some reason you won't let me in no matter what I do!"
Syaoran stood up too, only his movement was more gentle than angry. He wrapped his arms around Sakura's shoulders with a whispered, "Shhhh."
"But, Syaoran-kun..." Sakura chocked back tears. "...I really want to love you, but I don't know who you are."
"It's not personal at all, Sakura," Syaoran said softly, gently. His words calmed her, and her tears quieted and then slowed. No matter how mysterious he was, Syaoran would always have the power to make things right for her. "There are just some things I can't say."
Sakura buried her face in his arms. "But why?"
Syaoran smiled sadly, a little ironic expression like an inside joke with himself. "If I told you why, then I would be saying it, now wouldn't I? Just don't worry. It's nothing bad, I promise, because that would hurt you." As Sakura's head emerged, Syaoran stared at her with very serious eyes. "I would never hurt you, Sakura," he pledged earnestly.
Sakura's eyes teared up once more, but this time out of happiness instead of misery. "I love you, Syaoran-kun," she whispered in awe.
"And I love you."

A little while later, the rest of the group met at the ruins. "Do you think we gave them enough time?" Knuckles asked.
"At this point, it wouldn't matter, we only have one minute left." Tails said nervously. Everybody hurried inside, just as a large explosion sounded behind them.

Fay jumped slightly and crashed sideways into Kurogane, who gave him a death glare but didn't object. As the group entered the ruins' center, Fay whispered to the others, "All right, if we're quiet, they might not hear us and Sakura-chan and Syaoran-kun might have some more time together."
However, his plan was shot instantly as Mokona called out too loud, "SAKURA! SYAORAN! HI!"
Sakura and Syaoran were sitting on the bench once more, and Syaoran had his arms around her comfortingly. The two looked up at the sound of their names, and smiled at the little white creature at it approached them in little hops. Fay beamed. He knew what had passed between them. Even Kurogane seemed reluctant to bash them now.
"So!" Fay clapped his hands together with a twinkle in his eye. "Did you do it, Sakura-chan?"
Sakura nodded, blushing pink at his bluntness on the topic. "H-hai, I did."

Tails looked around. "This place seems different than when I last saw it. I wonder how That's possible."
Sonic and Amy meanwhile, were smiling pointedly at the two teenagers on the bench. Knuckles was reading an ancient rune tablet. Cream was... "Wait, CREAM?!?! How did you get here?" Tails yelped.
"Oh, I hid in the cargo bay of the tornado and followed you guys through the forest. I wanted to go an an adventure."
"Cream, how many times have I told you-"
"That it's too dangerous? How come you get to go then Tails? You aren't much older than me." Tails blinked. "I don't know, why are you asking me?"
"You're smart?"
"Wait, what just happened?" Asked Sonic.
"It's not really that big of a deal, Cream can take care of herself. She can help us." Amy said.
"Alright, sounds good." Sonic was still a little confused.
