The cool summer breeze was blowing mildy, making the leaves on trees sway at a steady pace. Tails was sitting down outside whilst staring up at the sky, while the sun was setting off to the west. He made a soft smile, admiring the beautiful red and orange colors of the sky with the setting sun. The sky was getting darker at a slower pace, not really any stars being visible in the sky. "If only every evening could be like this." He said to himself, as the wind was starting to die down.
Amy Rose, a friend of Tails came walking over to him and smiled down towards him. "Hey, Tails!" She smiled her skirt blew a little bit in the wind, while the sun was sinking deeper into the sky. She seemed really happy to see him, as Sonic was off on his adventures and such.
Tails looked up, and gave a soft smile up towards her. "Hey Amy, what brings you by? I thought you were off doing something though." He did honestly seem a little confused at her sudden visit, but he really appreciated any kind of visitors to come by and see him.
Amy gave a slight nod. "Well, while I was busy… I did kind of get bored after I finished. Sonic is off you know, doing my adventures and such so… I decided to come visit you!" She gave a warm smile, and happily sat down next to him as she yawned slightly.
Tails gave a slight nod, but frowned a little. "When is he not busy? He never even bothers to come see me or Knuckles any more! Yet he said many times before I'm his 'best friend', well he better act more like it!" His voice sounded a little ticked off, as his face was starting to turn a shade of red. Probably meaning that he was getting angry because of never getting to see his friend anymore.
Amy sat a hand down on his shoulder, seeming to feel bad for him at the way he was wording it. "He has? Well, don't worry.. Sonic hasn't talked to me, Cream, Blaze, or Rouge either… just Shadow and Silver recently." She gave a small shrug as she thought about it, maybe it's because they were stronger like Sonic was? But who knew.
Tails gave out a sigh, and looked like he might cry though. "It's just I really care for him, like I do for all of my friends. But I've just been so lonely without him being here, you know what I mean?" He sniffled a bit, as a few salty tears fell from his eyes and dropped down to his muzzle.
Amy hugged him, and wiped his tears away from his face. "Don't put yourself down about it so much Tails, it isn't good for you…" She generally seemed concerned he might not be doing too well, as she rubbed her light pink quills in confusion. There was a sense of sadness, and also sympathy for the young fox in her eyes. She really cared for him, and didn't want to see him go through all of this.
Tails sighed, and shook his head. "I know, I-i'm sorry Amy… It's just I really am lonely without him." He let out a small sigh, as more tears fell down onto his muzzle. He looked towards her. "Honestly, there's been one thing that's been on my mind this whole time that he's been ignoring me.." His face suddenly turned into a stern look, and his voice turned from sad to serious.
Amy turned to him and had a wide eyes from his tone of voice, he never really spoke like this before. It honestly kind of sent a small wave of shock throughout her body as he said the sentence. "What is it Tails?! You can tell me… I promise I won't tell anybody!" She tried to keep her voice down, but couldn't. She honestly seemed quite interested at what he had to say.
Tails sighed and said just one single question to her. "Are we even friends?"
