Reviews are highly appreciated and always answered. Also, if anyone is interested, I'm looking for someone who could possibly draw the death scene from chapter 1.
Love Can Move Mountains
Chapter 3
Over the next couple of days, Sonia slipped into a deep depression. All she did was keep vigil over her lover's corpse. She felt like all of this was a dream, like any minute now her brothers would wake her up in the rebel base, ready for a new mission. Or perhaps he wasn't really dead and just sleeping and soon he would wake up and reassure her that everything was alright.
She held his hand, squeezing it, hoping to feel any sign of life that she knew would not come. "Oh Bartleby, it's not fair! I thought, I always thought, that when the fight was over and Mom was in charge again, that we could just pick up where we left off. I believed it and it's what I fought so hard for. I was fighting for us as much as I was fighting for a better future for Mobius. Now I don't even know if it was worth it. You were supposed to be safe from Robotnik's evil. This wasn't supposed to happen. Oh, Bartleby, please...please wake up. Come back to me..." She wept into his chest. "Come back."
A gloved hand rest on her shoulder. "Sonia, you need to come eat."
"Leave me alone Sonic," she said softly. "I'm not hungry."
"But sis, you haven't eaten in two days," Manic joined his brother. They knew she couldn't refuse the pair of them.
Sonic tried to pull her from her seat. "Come on, the Oracle's made some super chili dogs. You don't want me to eat your share do ya?"
She slapped Sonic's hand away. "I said I'm NOT hungry! Leave me alone!" She yelled before resuming her spot at Bartleby's side.
Sonic sighed and knelt beside her. "Sonia...I know how you feel..."
Her eyes flared at the empty words. "You know I feel Sonic? How could you possibly know how I feel! How many lovers have you lost?"
"Well, maybe not lovers but I lost my adopted parents, Uncle Chuck, and a lot of friends," Sonic replied.
"And they were all roboticized! Someday, we may have the technology to reverse it and you'll get them back," Sonia told him. "Bartleby...he's...he's not coming back...never..." Her breath hitched as the sobs started again.
Sonic put his arms around her, rubbing her back. "Okay, so I don't know how you feel but...I still know I don't like seeing you this way. Neither of us does. And neither would he. He wouldn't want to see you here, wasting away over him."
"Sonic...I loved him," she told him. "I loved him."
Sonic had known, but he, personally had never cared for the aristocrat. In his mind, Bartleby was a wimp loser sucking up to Robotnik. It was why he hadn't been in too much of a hurry to save him before Sonia decided to it herself. What was one less cowardly noble idiot in the world compared to all of Mobius. When he'd seen her holding him, when he realized what happened, he knew how wrong he was. Bartleby may have been a coward in most situations, conceited and pompous, but when it came to Sonia, nothing else mattered.
"Sis, I know...I wish I could turn back time and change this, I would give everything I had to change this," he said. "But that's one power we don't have. I know you loved him. And he loved you. You brought out the best in him when it mattered the most. I'm sorry it took me so long to see it. I'm sorry I was always so hard on him. I never stopped to think that maybe it was hard for him too, to see you go off and join the Resistance." Sonic realized he was rambling.
Manic came over. "Yeah, I wasn't very nice to him either...I'm sorry sis." His embrace created a small group hug as their sister cried.
Eventually it seemed as though Sonia had run out of tears and they just sat there quietly for several minutes.
"Isn't anyone going to help me eat all these chili dogs," the Oracle called good-naturedly from the other room.
Sonic was the first to pull away. "Come on sis. Let's go eat."
"Do I have to?" she asked, the fight gone out of her.
"Yes you do," Manic told her.

Robotnik knew he was in trouble when the first small group of nobles dared to demand an explanation for his actions. He knew most of the citizens thought he was the one who ruled over the aristocrats except the truth was, he relied quite heavily on their money and their support to get as far as he had. He had convinced them that the trial was a sham to draw the Hedgehogs to him. They'd believed him when he said that Bartleby was in on the plan.
"Damn," he cursed as he had the Swat-Bots turn away another group of angry nobles. "Damn, I must think of something."
The door opened to admit his two minions. "You sent for us, oh Great Emperor Robotnik?" Sleet asked.
"Yes, Sleet," Robotnik had enough presence of mind to realize there might be some valuable information on the Resistance in Bartleby's mansion or that Sonia might show up there. "I want you and Dingo to monitor the Montclair Mansion. Search it for any information on the Resistance and keep an eye out for those hedgehogs."
Sleet bowed. "Yes Your Wise Lordship. Your will be done." He grabbed Dingo before he could say anything foolish in his current state of mind. "Soon Robotnik, soon..." he promised darkly.

At the table, the Oracle served the young hedgehogs. It was odd that would stay so long but he found he was glad for the company and he couldn't just turn away the young princess in her hour of need.
"So Orac, what do you think our next move should be?" Sonic as he shoved another chili dog down his gullet.
The Oracle of Delphius considered. "Well, my scrying has revealed that Robotnik has lot a good deal of favor over this incident. Apparently, they believed that the trial was nothing more than a trap for the three of you and that he was in on it."
"Why would he bother lying to them about that? Doesn't he just have to threaten to take away their stuff and roboticize them?" Manic asked.
"Actually no," the Oracle replied. "He needs their support as much as he needs their money to keep his throne. Killing Sir Bartleby Montclair was the biggest mistake he's made." Being reminded again of her loss, Sonia lost all appetite and put her half-eaten dog down. The Oracle sighed and placed a comforting hand on hers. "But first, before we do anything else, we should probably take care of his body."
Sonia looked at him. "You mean...bury him? I don't think..."
"Yes, Princess. I know it is hard, but he must be laid to rest," the Oracle said gently. "I know you may think you are ready to let go but I believe this will provide at least some closure and start the healing process."
Sonia nodded in acknowledgement. "But...he needs different clothes. I know he wouldn't like it if he were buried in dirty, torn clothing. I will go and get him something from his house."
"What?" Manic and Sonic both asked with alarm.
"Sis, are you sure that's a good idea. Robotnik may be in trouble but I bet he still has a squadron of Swat-butts just waiting to see if you'll go there for something. They might be there searching his house now," Sonic reasoned.
She shook her head. "Maybe but this is something I have to do Sonic." She stood up. "I'll go now. It's getting dark and they won't see me."
"Well, if you're going, we'll go too," Manic said standing up. "We'll cover you."
"No," she refused. "This is something I have to do alone guys."
The Oracle nodded with understanding. "I will send you to his home. When you are ready to come back," he pointed out her medallion causing it to glow. "just touch your medallion and you will return. But be careful. It's important that you keep your head now."
She bit her lip. She knew he was right. "I'll be careful. Thank you Oracle. I'm ready." She wasn't really but she had to do this.
Four long green fingers pointed themselves at her and she found herself outside the Montclair Mansion. She looked about carefully for Swat-bots before sneaking up to the door. Habit made her ring the bell and wait for a few moments before she remembered that no one would be answering. Her mind ran back a few days before the fateful trial.
AN: Reviews? Criticisms? Anything? Oh, expect a more adult story than the cartoon gave us.
