Me: Happy Halloween! That's right, this year for Halloween my story is going to be Sunshine. Please enjoy and R&R! *psst* Tails, that's your queue!
Tails: Huh? Oh... right...
~ Prologue ~
Tails awoke from his slumber, and fell out of bed in a state of panic.
He cried, "SONIC!" and in came the concerned, blue hedgehog with emerald-green eyes.
"What is it bud?" he asked, helping Tails, who had hurt his ankle from falling, get off the floor.
"I had another nightmare about..." he gulped, "him..."
"Tails, for the last time, Tails Doll is an 'it', and doesn't exist, you're just a little nervous because you played Sonic R for a whole week in a row, unlocked Tails Doll, found out about the rumour of the Tails Doll curse and tripped over a red gem on the way to Rouge's 'Halloween Eve' party," Sonic rolled his eyes.
Then Tails, with tears dripping from his eyes, reached over his bed, and on the other side was a glowing, red gem. He held it out to Sonic, still crying.
Sonic realised he was not making Tails feel any better, so he put his arm round him and smiled.
"There, there, it was only a dream-" he began, but Tails freaked out.
"DREAMS ARE NOT THE SAME AS NIGHTMARES!" he growled.
Sonic leaned backwards nervously, then replied, "Calm down little bro, it's okay. I know why you're getting these nightmares. After you broke the Sonic R disc you found this gem and it's been haunting you for weeks."
Tails looked down at his gem and acknowledged it. Then Sonic had a mischievous idea.
Just then, young trick-or-treaters banged on their door, and yelled, "TRICK OR TREAT! YOU NEVER KNOW WHO YOU'LL MEET!" which was a very clever rhyme.
Sonic quietly went out through the back doors and ran round the side of the house. He took out his Werehog costume and leapt onto the roof of the house. Then he watched the trick-or-treaters walk away. Suddenly, he let out a blood-curling roar that sent the teenagers into fits of terror and screamed as loud as they could. Sonic began throwing eggs down at them as they ran off, and then one of them aimed at him with a BB-gun, so he threw the gem down and it was shot out of the sky and blown to pieces. The boy with the gun, assuming he'd hit Sonic, ran off in fright.
Sonic burst out laughing and jumped through an open window back into Tails' bedroom.
"All taken care of..." he grinned. Tails looked out the window and saw the shattered gem. He breathed a sigh of relief and lay down in his bed.
Sonic patted Tails head and whispered, "Good night little buddy, sleep tight." Then he left the room.
Meanwhile, the shattered gem was blown around in the wild gusts of wind, but for some reason, it was very resistant to the wind's strong breezes.
Eventually, the wind died down, and the gem pieces fell again, this time in a puddle of muddy rain. Suddenly, as they sunk down deep into the water, the puddle started to shine a bright, magenta-like shade of red, and then, a disturbing, mechanical laugh could be heard.
One that any 'cursed' Sonic R players should remember.
One... that was certainly not human...
So, what did you think? If you enjoyed it, please R&R, the next Chapter will be out soon! Sorry it's so late, I've been really busy lately, but I promise my third Halloween story, in two years time, will be the best Halloween story it can possible be, and it will be made on time... for the horrors of Halloween Night...
