Disclaimer: I do not own any Sonic stuff, nor do I own Pikmin or the Smashing Pumpkins.
I don't know how this will end up… either TailsXAmy, TailsXCosmo, or even an angle between the three (it'd only be a triangle if Amy and Cosmo started going out XD), but I'm just doing this as I go!
The best part is: I have another chapter ready, so if you guys like/love this, you won't have to wait!!! :D isn't that great!?!?
REVIEW!!! PLEASE!!! NOT FLAMES!!! I'm suffering from Lack-of-Reviews Symdrome!! T^T (except for my Tales of Mobius story; I got three reviews, yesterday!! I feel happy! TwT thank you all who reviewed)
Miracles Do Happen
Chapter -1: Cherub Rock
A young two-tailed fox boy adjusted the screws on his tom drum and tapped it to check. He nodded to himself in approval of its tone. He set up a mic stand in front of the drum set. He was going to sing while he played. He was about to turn on the recording which had the guitar parts of the already recorded when he noticed the picture sitting on top of the stereo. It was a group picture of him and all of his friends. Sonic was a little to the right of the center of the photo, Knuckles was on the far right, Cream and Cheese were next to Knuckles, Chris was in the back center, Shadow stood next to Sonic. Tails was in the center of the photo, front row. What made his heart break were the two people who were positioned on either side of him.
On his right was a beautiful girl whose hair and clothes were completely made of leaves that shone in the light. Her name was Cosmo. A ruby broach hung from her neck and it had no imperfections; just like the girl wearing it. The two of them understood each other, they could talk to each other without holding back; she was the first person who had ever been like that to him. He loved her so much. But about 5 years ago, the galaxy was under a threat from someone named Metarex. Metarex was a plant being, just like Cosmo. This picture was taken before they launched into space to fight him. When they found that nothing they had could stop him, Cosmo used the power in her ruby broach to paralyze Metarex, enabling Super Shadow and Super Sonic to stop him, but at the cost of Cosmo's life. The only thing he had left to remember her was a seed that was retrieved in the aftermath of the battle. The boy had planted it in his room and there it stood next to the picture. A flower had sprouted and it grew just as beautiful as Cosmo was. He wiped a tear from his face.
On his left was Amy Rose, a pink hedgehog who wore a red rose dress. She had been best friends with him ever since they met. He had started getting feelings for ever since Cosmo died, and no one but his parents knew, but the reasons why he didn't and couldn't ask her out were: 1) Amy was already in love with Sonic (who doesn't return feelings); and 2) They were a good 2 and a half years apart (him being the younger one).
The boy snapped out of it and pressed the "power" button on the stereo. He hurried back to the seat and prepared his drumsticks. He accidentally sat on one of his tails so he rushed to get his butt off of it but he got his butt off the seat itself and fell over. He scrambled for the seat and realized he had missed half of the intro to the song and tried to concentrate to remember the beat and maybe start from where he screwed up. At that he started by crashing the loudest cymbals.
His parents, Amadeus and Rosemary were calmly drinking some coffee when they heard the muffled drums from their son's room. The saucers of their cups started rattling. Still they remained calm. "What do you think he's playing?" said Amadeus. Rosemary stopped to listen. "Well, because of the pattern that I hear the kick drum playing… I think it's Cherub Rock." Amadeus listened to it and nodded in agreement as the doorbell rang. Amadeus put down his cup and went to answer the door.
Freak out, and give in
Doesn't matter what you believe in.
Amadeus opened the door to see Amy Rose standing in the doorway. "Morning, Mr. Prower," she said in her gleeful voice. "Good morning to you, Amy," said Amadeus replied. "Tails is in his room," he said. Amy looked shocked. "How did you—" she then realized. "I see where Tails gets his brains from!" she said walking into the house. Rosemary heard and said, "Hey! What about me?" They all laughed and Amy walked towards the boy's room. His parents watched her as she walked down the hallway.
Stay cool
And be somebody's fool this year
"I see why Tails likes her so much," said Rosemary. "Reminds me of our own relationship," said Amadeus as he put his arm around Rosemary.
Amy quietly opened the door to Tails's room. She put her head through the door and remained quiet so she could hear Tails sing without disturbing him. She loved his voice.
'Cause they know
Who is righteous what is bold, so I'm told
Amy quietly took a guitar from the corner of the room and plugged it in and started singing along with him.
Who wants honey? As long as there's some money
Who wants that honey?
Tails turned to see Amy playing and singing along. He loved her voice. "Hey, Amy. You know, you could have knocked," he said, still playing the drums perfectly, despite the fact that he was talking to Amy. "I didn't want to disturb you," said Amy with a smile. "You have such a nice voice!" Tails blushed and continued.
Hipsters unite
Come along for the big fight tonight
Beware
All those angels with their wings glued on
'Cause deep down, they're frightened and they're scared, as we stare
Tails and Amy were having fun as they played, even when they messed up. Usually when they mess up, Amy would throw one of her tantrums, but she didn't care this time because she was having fun with Tails.
Tell me all of your secrets
Cannot help but believe in this
Amy suddenly thought about Tails and how he had always been there for her, especially when Sonic turned her down on a date many times before. Amy could always count on Tails to be there to listen to her.
Tell me all of your secrets
I know, I know, I know
I should've listened when I was told
She suddenly felt bad. Tails was always there to listen to her, no matter what it was about or how long it took, but when Cosmo died, Tails needed a shoulder to cry on, and when he asked Amy for that shoulder, she said no, making up the stupid excuse that she was busy. At the time, she felt that she didn't feel like listening to Tails complain of Cosmo's loss. She felt horrible and wanted to do something for Tails to make it up to him. It was the least she could do. But suddenly it rang in her head… Cosmo… She looked at the flower on the stereo. It grew from the seed that they had found, the last remnant of Tails's true love. 'If only I could bring her back,' she thought.
Tails noticed Amy was staring at Cosmo's flower. Tails stopped playing but the pre-recorded song went on. Tails looked down and frowned. Memories of Cosmo ran through his head. Amy looked over and saw Tails crying. 'Dammit,' she thought. 'He must've seen me look at the flower…' Tails's expression suddenly changed from depressed to one that was one he had when he got an idea. He turned off the stereo and took the flower and left the room. Amy stood there in a daze. Tails rushed back to the room to get Amy. "Come with me," he said, "I have an idea!"
Okay, I've never done a TailsXCosmo thingy before… so I feel I've either overdone his sadness for both Amy and Cosmo, or under-did it. Help me out here guys!! I needs experience =3
Acknowledgements: People who reviewed my "Tales of Mobius" story the other day. It drove me to finally post this story, which had 3 chapters ready for about half a year!!
Oh, also, there's another story I put up, called "Colonel Jade the Echidna", as a Crossover of Sonic and a game called Tales of the Abyss. Read and review that too, please!
