Personality split

Ace's Creator

Rouge's POV

I looked over and there standing on the stairs was Ace. He rubbed his eyes and sat down in the place Leo was sitting a few seconds ago. He let out a small yawn as Leo sat next to him and kissed him on the cheek.

"How was your rest, my love?" Leo asked Ace as he wrapped his arm around his purple companion.

"I slept nicely... I bet you that was the best rest I've had in years... You know since I'm in control of Sonic's dreams and all," Ace commented and let his head fall onto Leo's shoulder.

"I was just telling them about Sonic's emotional pain and other things,"

"Oh... You had to tell them about that mess of emotions,"

"I was wondering if you could tell Rouge and Shadow how Sonic feels and thinks about them... Maybe cheer them up a little and shed some light on things,"

"Alright, I can do that! Give me a second let me think,"

Ace took a deep breath and paused to think and closed his eyes. We waited for a few seconds as Ace kept his eyes closed sitting there in silence as Leo closed his eyes as well and leaned back in the couch. After a few minutes, Ace's eyes then shot open and he looked at Shadow.

"What would you like to know? Anything specific?" Ace asked him with a smile.

"Not Really. I just want to know... What does Sonic think of me?" Shadow asked Ace and I gave him a look.

"Sonic loves you with all his heart. He didn't care how stubborn you were about hanging out. He just wanted to see you and have fun. He would finally let happiness in his heart when you were with him. I've also made him have dreams about you," Ace told Shadow with a smirk.

"What about me?" I asked Ace jumping into the conversation while Shadow sat next to me blushing.

"He treats you like a big sister Rouge. He enjoys your company and he thinks you're a really great girl. He admires you Rouge," Ace told me with a smile.

"What do you mean he admires me?"

"You're the entire reason I'm alive Rouge! Remember when you helped Sonic understand what love was? When he understood I came to be! You created me in Sonic's mind Rouge... Thank you for letting me come to be... That's why I act so much like you! I'm made after your personality Rouge," Ace said and gave me a huge hug.

"Y-Your welcome," I told him as he let me go and sat back down.

"How does Sonic feel about everyone else?" Shadow asked Ace still blushing.

"You're going to have to figure that out for yourself! I can't tell you everything can I?" Ace said and gave a little laugh.

I let out a sigh and looked away. I told Sonic what love was? Out of everyone, I thought Amy would show Sonic what love was... But me? I then remembered that one day when I found Sonic crying. I then recalled what I had said to him at the moment but I couldn't remember it all.

"Do you remember what I said about... Love?" I asked Ace and he looked at me.

"Why don't I just show you all?" Ace asked and a bright white light blinded us all.

As the light swallowed everything around us I shut my eyes tightly. When I opened them I couldn't see anything but Shadow, Ace, and Leo. Around us was only wight void empty as ever.

But suddenly I felt a breeze pass by. Then everything started to form... Starting with the green grass and trees. The smell of flowers and the sound of birds chirping.

Soon a lake was formed in the middle of everything with a waterfall flowing into it. I looked over and out of thin air on a log near the edge of the lake was Sonic appeared. Tears were flowing from his eyes and he was looking into the water.

"You save him you know?" Ace said out of nowhere and looked at Sonic crying on the log.

"What do you mean?" I asked him still watching Sonic with worried eyes.

"The day you found him... He was planning to throw himself into the lake. Knowing that he can't swim he would have drowned. I know that this was a long time ago... But it is one thing that Sonic looks back on,"

I watched in horror as Sonic stood up on the log still looking in the water. As the breeze flowed through his blue quills he was about to jump. As he was midair I looked way expecting to hear a splash. But instead of him falling into the lake someone had scooped him up and dropped him away from the lake... It was me.

"Sonic! What were you thinking!?! You know you can't swim!" The copy of me yelled at the hedgehog who was sitting on the ground looking at the grass.

"Leave me alone Rouge," Sonic said and started to cry.

"Why Sonic? You were just about to kill yourself!"

"I can't take it, Rogue... Not knowing what love is. Not knowing what anything is. Everyone loves me but how can I return the feelings if I don't understand? I don't understand anything!"

"Sonic... Love is a very powerful thing. It's kinda complicated... Especially when it comes to lovers kinda love. Is that the kind you want to learn about?"

"Yeah... The love between a girl and a boy... Or the same gender type thing,"

"It takes place when two people love each other. I mean really love each other. Like as if the other one were to die the other could die as well. When you near that person your heart feels complete... You feel like you can do anything when they're around... It's like how I feel for Knuckles,"

"Thank you, Rouge. I owe you one,"

"Why did you want to know about all this stuff? I can tell you more if you'd like... I thought you weren't into this kinda stuff but I can try and teach you,"

"I'll talk to you about it later... The reason I asked is that I think I'm in love Rouge,"

"Who's the lucky girl?"

"It's not a girl Rouge... I'm in love with a boy,"

"You don't have to tell me now. I know you're still trying to take all of it in and stuff. You can tell me and everyone else when you're ready. I'll keep this a secret only me and you know,"

The last thing I saw was me hugging Sonic. Letting the blue figure cry on my shoulder. I watched as everything started to fade away and we were all back in the white void. Again we were all swallowed by a wight light like before.

The light flickered away and we were back in the living room. All of us were sitting where we were before we left. I looked out the window thinking about what I said that day. I was right about love...

"You made him what he is today," Ace told me and broke the silence.

"What?" I asked him confused and looked away from the window.

"When you told him what love was he ran right home... He thought about what you said and realized that he had fallen in love... With Shadow. When Sonic is around Shadow his heart beats as fast as he runs. He feels like he could fly... Sonic would even dive into the sea to save Shadow in a time of need," Ace told the both of us and me and Shadow both were surprised and we both thought about all of what Sonic had gone through.

"I think you should Tails... We both think you should," Leo told us as Ace nodded in agreement.

Shadow got the message and went to the kitchen. When he came back he had a phone in hand. He dialed Tails and we waited as the phone rang.
