Blaze the Cat sat atop the Sonic statue on Southern Island, watching the sun set. She was thinking about a friend of hers. Her best friend, Sonic the Hedgehog.

Sonic wasn't Blaze's only friend. She had Cream, Marine, and she was acquainted with the rest of Sonic's friends, including a hedgehog from the future of his world named Silver. Silver was a nice guy, if a little naive, like a dorky younger brother.

But she felt that Sonic was the only person who truly understood her. It had been him who helped her understand that she didn't need to do everything herself, that she could rely on friends like him. It had been him who fought alongside her to save both their worlds. It had been him who kept her from losing her temper, and reminded her that she was the princess, and had people who needed her to protect them.

The times they fought and adventured together had been the happiest times of her life. She would never forget him, and her greatest wish was to be able to repay him someday.

He was her best friend, and even though they lived in different dimensions, she would always have a special place for him in her heart.
