Memory's of a snowman

by Dutch Cheshire Cat

After he lost his parents, Tails is now looked after by Sonic who does his best at being as good a parent to him as his real parents were, but still Tails cannot forget how good his life was when they were still alive.

I wrote this short story as my entry of the winter art contest at the mystic forums.

I do not own any of the characters appearing in this story.

Memory's of a snow man.

Almost done, Tails thought with satisfaction. Sonic would be so proud of him once he got home. It just needs a little more snow for it's head. Finaly! Wow, that sure was a lot of work. The whole thing had taken him almost three hours and he was glad he had managed complete it before Sonic had returned from his errands. He would be so proud.

"Tails, I'm back!" "Sonic, look what I made!" "Whoa, what the... Tails, that's... awesome." "Meet the world's largest snowman ever." Tails said with pride. "How did you manage to get that snow so high up?" "Easy, all I had to do was to make a frame of wooden branches first to support the snow so it doesn't break down." "Wow, you really are a genius little bro." Tails smiled, he loved it when Sonic was proud of him. "Let's go inside," Sonic said, "my spikes are freezing off. C'mon I'll make us some hot chocolate."

"Miles, Rose, I'm home." "Dad dad, look what I made today!" The younger Tails jumped into his fathers arms who groaned as he tried to keep his balance. "Easy with the bones Miles." he laughed. "Comeon dad, I have got to show you something!" The young fox started draging his father towards the garden. "Alright alright, I'm coming" the elder smiled as he followed his son's lead into the garden. "Wow, that is one big snowman Miles, did you make that yourself?" "Yep, all made by me" Tails smiled with pride. "My litle genius." The elderly fox shuddered. "Come on, let's go back inside."

"Tails...Tails, hey you awake?" "Huh, what? Oh yeah I'm awake." "You haven't drunk half of you chocolate yet, are you allright?" "Yeah, it's just... I was thinking of my parents." "Oh," Sonic sighed. Ever since Tails's parents got robotized he had been trying to be as much a father to him as he could, and Tails had always been happy with him, but sometimes, especially during the winter season, the young fox could get realy homesick. "You still miss them alot, don't you?" "Yeah, you know, mum and dad always took me out for a sleigh ride in the winter. Boy that was fun, but now they are gone and..." He sighed and drank the last bit of his chocolate. Small drips of tears were forming in his eyes, but he didn't want to let them out. Sonic looked down at the floor, he despised himself for not being a little more sensative. He had never been good at this sort of stuff. Suddenly he got up. "C'mon Tails, let's go." "Where to?" "Out for a sleigh ride."

Well, that's it, I hope you enjoyed it. Please post your critcs in the review section or mail them to me.
