"Cosmo! I-I'm sorry! I couldn't save you!" Tails yelled.
     "It's ok, don’t worry. I will always be with you. I just need you to do one thing for me..." Cosmo paused. "Please...wake up." "Tails...Tails, wake up please..." These gentle words brought Tails out of his nightmare. He was sweating from his realistic nightmare. Tails was now 19, as was Cosmo, and they have been married for a full year. This was their dream come true, but recently, Tails as had nothing but nightmares. Each and every time he slept, he was reminded of the painful memory of losing Cosmo that day to save the universe from Dark Oak. Cosmo is alive and breathing today due to the energies from the Chaos Emeralds merging with Cosmo's seed, bringing her back to live out a full life. Tails couldn't be more grateful for that, but to his dismay, he could not forgive and forget that it was his fault that Cosmo "died" on that day. Tails and Cosmo wish to put an end to that nightmare and live life like a husband and wife should.
     
     "Cosmo...I..." he couldn't find the right words to say.” Tails, I know what's bothering you...it's good that you love me to where you can tell me anything, but Tails, it was beyond your control. It was my choice to give my life for everyone. You did what you had to save us all. You even risked your life to find the emeralds to bring me back from my seed, and I love you for it, but you need to forget the past and live for today. Sonic, Amy, Knuckles, and all the others have, now it's your turn." Tails was calm enough to speak now. "You say that...I know that I should...but-" "Don't worry, were seeing someone to help end those nightmares tomorrow ok?” “Ok..." "...Tails...remember that song from our wedding?" "Of course. It's kinda catchy." *Sad days won't last always...* "That's...actually the only part that sticks in my mind" he said cheerfully. "Well, maybe it's enough...for now at least. Just keep that song in mind, and try to get some sleep." Cosmo held onto Tails as he dozed off. "Cosmo...thank you." She kissed him, "good night Tails."

     Morning had come and Cosmo and Tails prepared for their trip to the monks' temple. "I'm still a little skeptical about seeing monks..." Tails said hesitantly. "You're just worried about telling other people how you feel." Cosmo reassured him. "I guess so..."

     "Yo! Tails!" A voice all too familiar to Tails yelled out. "Hey Sonic! What's up?"
"Not much, although I could ask you the same thing, seeing as you brought out the Tornado. A grin grew on Sonic's face. "A second honeymoon perhaps?" Cosmo overheard and turned red. "Oh...Sonic, when'd you get here?" "That's not important, so I'm guessing by your blush that I'm right?”No..." Tails cut in, "Were actually heading for the monks' temple." "Monks? Why monks?" "To see why Tails keeps having the same nightmare." "Oh...well good luck with that." Just as quick as he appeared, he left plain view of the couple. "Heh...what a flake." Cosmo laughed at Tails. "What?" "A second honeymoon might not be such a bad idea after were done at the temple." Tails smiled, "sure thing!"

     They fly off to their destination, the monks' temple.
