Chapter 1 - A Distant Face from the Past.
----
Disclaimer, I do not own any of the Sonic characters. I do however own Red.
Author's Note: This story is about Tails, finding his little brother. I did put some elements of the comics and the game together. This chapter is a bit sad...Don't flame me for what I had Tails do. I picked that, because, it's better than being addicted to drugs. Don't worry the next chapter should have some comedy and happy stuff in it.

Hold fast to your hopes and dreams. Never let some one take them away from you.

Two years have passed since the Metal Madness incident. Shadow, had disappeared, saying "I have a promise I must keep." Their have been rumors of a black hedgehog helping people in peril. Rouge hung around with Knuckles for a while, before she went off on another treasure hunt. Before leaving, she gave Knuckles a locket and told him, "Keep this safe for me..." No one knows what happened to Omega. Amy, Cream, Biggs, both the Chao, and Froggy went back to Knothole, to report to Princess Sally. The Choatix Detectives, went in search for their old friend Mighty. Knuckles, of course, went back to the floating island and protecting the Master Emerald, even after Rouge left. Sonic stayed with Tails for a year, before the he went and answered the call of adventure. After a year of being alone, Tails fell into a depression. The weight of what happened to him over the years. He knew his parents were dead, he saw it happen. He saw them robotized right in front of him and later, he saw them be crush to death. He held on to a single hope, that his little brother, Kilo Metre "Red" Prower, is alive and escaped robotizing and is alive and well. He believed, thinking he escaped. But now, he believes that his hope is futile. And this is where we start the story.

Tails is in his room, looking at a photo of his family. His Father and Mother in the back, looking proud, and his little brother next to him. It's amazing how much his little brother looked like Tails. If it wasn't for the younger Prower's Reddish fur and Single tail, the two would be identical. After a little while, Tails sighed, and put the picture on the desk he was at, and opened another drawer. He took out a white towel with some dark red stains on it and spreads it across the table. Than he reached in again and pulled out a knife. He put his right arm on the towel.

A few minutes earlier, Sonic came running up to the house. Part of his left armed is bandaged up and he has a pissed off look on his face. He ran to the door and opened it and started to search every room downstairs, before running upstairs and into Tails's room. He opened the door and stared in shock at what he saw. There was cut already on Tails's wrist and Tails sliced the knife across his wrist again, causing a much deeper cut. Sonic finally regained his senses, when he saw the look of relief on Tails's face, and sprinted across the room and knocked the blade out of Tails's hand.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" Sonic screamed at Tails, who is scrambling towards the knife. Sonic grabbed Tails by the tails forced him down in the chair. Sonic rushed out of the room and came back in 8 seconds. "Now," Sonic said, a bit calmer, "why did you become a cutter?" Sonic began to clean and dress the wound, wincing at the amount of scars he could see on the wrist. "And why did you attack me in the woods?"
Tails glares at Sonic, "I didn't attack you. And why should I tell you, why I do this. Its not like you give a crap about what I do anyways." Tails says venomly, but both of his ears flatten down on his head when he sees the hurt look sonic has on his face. "It's true though. The whole year, that you were gone, you didn't call or write. You didn't care about what I was doing...no one did...you all just hang around me when you need something built or fixed." He looks down at the floor, and starts to cry quietly.
Sonic just shakes his head and walks towards the knife. "You may be a genius, but you're such an idiot." He says as he picks the knife up, opens up the window, and throws the knife as far away as he could. "You think just because we haven't visited you in a while, that we don't like you? You are such a fool. We were busy, doing something for you." Sonic said, walking back to Tails. "For one year, Me, Knuckles, Sally, Amy, Cream, Big, The Chaotix Detectives, and even Rouge have been searching, for the reminds of your parents." With that, Tails looked at Sonic with a confused look. "We found most of their pieces. We wanted you…to be able to say goodbye this time." Sonic said tearfully, and looked at the picture and he chuckled.
SO that's who attacked me.
"Tails go to the forest near the Mystic Ruins...There is something there, that you'll like." Sonic said, and he started to push Tails out the door. After Tail's left, Sonic started to clean up the house for Tails."
