A/N: Hello there, I'm KingSnow5092. This is my first dream story about my #1 favorite Sonic couple; Sonic and Tailsko, I just love stories about these two. This is my alternate universe story about how Sonic and Tailsko first met, how they became friends, and how they became a couple. In this story, Tails is a girl and his/her name is Tailsko because it sounds more female. Now, I know Tails is a boy and always will be but I love to add spice to my stories to make more interesting. I still like Tails as a boy but the Sonic/Tailsko pairing sounds interesting. I'm a fan of this pairing now. This story is for Sonic/Tailsko fans only, if you don't like this pairing then don't read, but if you do like this pairing then read on!

The Heart's Reward

Chapter 1: Tailsko's New Friend

Written by: KingSnow5092

It was a breezy autumn afternoon at the school called Green Hill Elementary School and all of the kids were on the playground playing with their friends and family. Everyone was having a great time all except for one...Tailsko the vixen. Tailsko was a female orange fox with blue eyes, tail-length hair, Rouge-like breasts, white muzzle and inner-fur, red lipstick, purple eye-shadow, female figure, red shoes, and two soft, fluffy tails. She was sitting alone on the bench of the playground watching the other kids play together. She wanted to play with them but she didn't know how to make friends. Then she remembered her father told her that if she wanted to make friends, she must ask them if they want to be her friend, if they say yes then they'll be her friend.

"That could work. If I ask someone if they want to be my friend and they'll have to be my friend." Tailsko said to herself as she smiled. Then she got up from the bench and walked into the playground where the kids were playing.

One of the kids, a male green pig was rolling around in the mud puddle like all pigs do having a mud bath when he stopped to noticed that the shadow was covering him. The green pig looked up to find Tailsko standing before him, the pig got up and smiled at her. "Excuse me, will you be my friend?" Tailsko asked. The pig grinned and said "Sure, come closer so I can touch your melons!" Tailsko grimaced at the pig's answer and said "Never mind." Then she ran away from the pig as fast as possible. "Damn it!" The pig cursed quietly so the teachers can't hear him.

Tailsko stopped to the other side of the playground where there was a basketball court. Tailsko sighed, she was glad to get away from that filthy pig. Then she heard something behind her, she turned around and saw two girls playing basketball together. One was a female yellow hippo and the other was a female pink panda. The hippo was winning the game, while the panda was trying to get the ball away from her friend. Tailsko smiled again and said "Maybe they'll be my friends if I show them how good I am at playing basketball." Then she flew over there with her two tails.

"Ha! Ha! I'm winning girl!" The hippo taunted as she was dribbling the ball away from the panda. "Oh yeah, well, not if I get the ball first!" The panda said as she tried to grab the ball but the hippo was too quick for her. Then the hippo was about to throw the ball into the basket when Tailsko grabbed the ball and the vixen dribbled the ball around the panda and the hippo and she flew to another basket and threw the ball in, making the panda the winner. The panda cheered for the fox but the hippo was angry. "That was great girl, you score the winning for me!" The panda cheered.

"Thank you, it was great, wasn't it?" Tailsko said, blushing.

"No it wasn't!" The yellow hippo shouted, standing between the two other girls. "What was the idea of butting in our game like that?" The hippo shouted at her. Tailsko backed away from the angry hippo. "I'm sorry I was only trying to help and wanted to play the game with you girls." Tailsko said timidly. The pink panda grabbed her friend and said "Calm down girl, it's just a game she just want to have some fun with us!" The hippo pushed her friend away. "I don't care, I was having fun until this interloper came in and ruined the game for me! She cheated by using her two tails! Thanks you interloper!" The angry hippo shouted.

Tailsko then got angry and shouted. "FINE! I JUST WANTED SOME FRIENDS IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK! YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOUT!" The hippo got scared from Tailsko's shouting and ran away. The panda then got angry and stomped over to her. "Don't you yell at my friend like that, maybe she was right you did cheated!" The panda shouted. "OK, SO WHAT IF I HAVE TWO TAILS I'LL JUST LEAVE ANYWAY! GOOD-BYE!" Tailsko shouted at her. The panda then got scared and ran away from the fox too. Tailsko huffed and flew away from the other side of the playground.

Tailsko landed back to the playground where she started to find some friends. Tailsko sighed, she was about give up when she heard laughing behind her. She turned to find three kids playing on the roundabout. The three older kids were a male dark gray bear, a male lavender monkey, and a male dark orange fennec fox (These are the same animals who bullied Tails during the flashback on Sonic X Episode 18: Dam Scam, I just thought I use them as random kids just for fun). Tailsko smiled, maybe the older kids will be nice to her since they know better. Then she walked over to the roundabout and stopped it.

The three kids noticed that Tailsko was standing there with a smile on her face. The three older kids smiled too, but with lust. "Excuse me, may I play with you guys?" Tailsko asked, politely. The kids smiled evilly.

"Sure, just jump up here on the roundabout and then we'll have some real fun!" The bear said, patting down on the free space of the roundabout. Tailsko smiled and she jumped up on the roundabout. The bear and the fox smiled as they knew they were going to have some real fun. But the monkey was sneaking around the wheel so he can get closer to Tailsko. The monkey was close to her and he reached out his hand to touch her when Tailsko noticed this and she jumped off the roundabout and flew away from the bullies.

The monkey swung his arm in dismay. The bear grabbed the monkey and got him close to his face. "What the hell was that about?" The bear asked angrily.

"Yeah, we were about to have some fun with her!" The fennec fox agreed.

"Well, I wanted to touch her first!" The monkey protested. "I saw her first!"

"No! I saw her first!" The bear shouted.

"No! I did!" The fennec fox shouted.

"Oh yeah?" The bear and the monkey said in unison. Then the three bullies started to fight. The bear clawed the monkey's back, while the monkey bit the fox's hand and the fox punched the bear and so on and so on. The other animals noticed this and they gathered around and chanted "fight!" "fight!" "fight!".

Tailsko landed besides the side of the school where it was a little far right to the back door entrance of the school. Tailsko sat down on her knees and sighed. It was no use. "It's no good every time I ask someone to be my friend they either ridicule me or try to touch me." Tailsko said to herself. "I guess I'll never have any friends, I'll be alone forever." And then she cried into her hands quietly so no one would hear her because she'll be ridiculed by the other animals if she did.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the school, there was another kid who was lonely too, it was Sonic. Sonic was a male blue hedgehog with green eyes, spiky hair down his back, peach muzzle/inner-fur, peach arms, gloves, and red shoes. Sonic was the popular kid at school because he was a speedy blue hedgehog. Sonic didn't have many friends, he did have some fans however, but it wasn't enough. Sonic wanted someone to be his friend who like him for just who he is and not just because he's a speedy blue hedgehog. Sonic was walking along the school side when he noticed a lonely orange vixen sitting on her knees crying her eyes out.

Sonic noticed this and felt sorry for her. Even though, Sonic was a popular kid he was a kind-hearted hedgehog and had sympathy for those who are less fortune unlike any other popular kid who like themselves and turned down the less fortune. Sonic wondered why the fox was crying. Sonic then decided to ask her what was wrong and then comfort her. Sonic walked over to her and then sat down on his knees next to her.

The blue hedgehog tapped lightly on her shoulder, the weeping fox looked up to see who it is. Sonic was looking at her with an concern look on his face. Tailsko noticed the blue hedgehog was looking at her with sympathy unlike the other kids who look at her with lust. Sonic and Tailsko got up on their knees and looked at each other. A long silence until Tailsko finally spoke up.

"Hello." Tailsko said quietly. "Hi there, are you okay? You seem to be crying is there something wrong, girl?" Sonic asked. Tailsko then frowned again and then she said. "Yes, there is. I don't have any friends I tried to ask the kids around here if they want to be my friend but when they answered they wanted to touch me!" Tailsko said sadly. Sonic frowned. "I'm sorry to hear that, girl. But, I know how you feel I want some friends too but they are all too busy thinking of me as a popular kid because I'm a speedy blue hedgehog. I don't mind the attention but I want some friends not fans!" Sonic said laughing a bit. Tailsko smiled too, she thought it was funny. Sonic smiled when he saw the fox smiled.

"Thanks for cheering me up a bit." Tailsko said.

"No prob. By the way, my name is Sonic the hedgehog." Sonic said.

"My name is Melissa Prower, but I liked to be called Tailsko because of my two tails." Tailsko said, showing her two tails, then she hid them and blushed she was afraid Sonic might ridiculed her for her twin tails.

"Those are nice tails there, Tailsko." Sonic said, smiling. Tailsko smiled too and was relieved that Sonic didn't ridicule her for her twin tails. "You really think so?" She asked.

Sonic nodded. "Of course! It's nice to meet you Tailsko."

"Thank you Sonic. It's nice to meet you too." Tailsko said.

Sonic and Tailsko looked at each other for a long time until Tailsko spoke up. "Sonic? Will you be my friend?" Tailsko asked. Sonic put his arm around her shoulder and said "Of course, I will. I'll be happy to be your friend."

"Really?" Tailsko said smiling.

Sonic nodded and gave her a thumbs up. "You bet!"

"Thank you Sonic." Tailsko said.

"You're welcome Tailsko." Sonic said.

Sonic and Tailsko embraced. Sonic rubbed her back as Tailsko cried tears of joy. Sonic and Tailsko are now friends and now they'll won't be so lonely anymore. Now everything will be fine for the hedgehog and the fox.
