Chapter 1: Left Behind...Again!

I sit up in my soft, orange bed in shock after a horrible nightmare. I shake my head as if it were to help regain my thoughts. I try to think of what is valid, and what I have dreamt. I slowly climb out of bed, and I look through the window, to identify the weather. Looks nice. I think, looking at the crisp, blue sky, holding just one or two clouds.

It was spring, the snow had only melted a few days ago, and the wind still left a chill aftermath on my fur.

My name is Miles Prower, but my friends here at Freedom HQ, just call me Tails for the fact that I was born with two tails. You may think it's a tad queer, but it came with the ability to fly. All I have to do, is twirl my tails in a helicopter-like motion. Im eleven years old, and Sonic the Hedgehog is my best friend, but he always thinks i'm too young, and weak to defend myself if need-be, so I never get to have any of the fun.

I decide to leave my room. After making myself a bowl of cereal for breakfast, I go to the research lab, to find Rotor there, researching on Solar Energy.
"Hey there,Tails!"He greets me.
"Hi, Rotor, did you sleep well?" I ask, hoping he'd give a better responce then I would've if I were to be asked the question.
"I slept fine. What about you?" I feel my face cringe up a bit. I shouldn't have brought it up. I don't want to tell Rotor I had a nightmare, because then he'd ask me what it was about, and that's not something I really wanted to share at this moment. I had stuff to do.
"Umm, I slept well." I stuttered. I was never really that good of a liar, I never really needed to. I could tell Rotor didn't quite believe me, but i'm sure he'd understand.

I pull open a drawer in my desk, and take out some blueprints on a jeep-like vehicle, and I add some final touches. But right before I could start building, Nicole tells all the freedom fighters to gather in the living room immediately.
"Dr. Eggman is terrorizing the innocent animals out side." She said. I get excited, hoping this would be my grand solo mission, but when I brought up the idea to Sonic, he didn't seem to enthusiastic about it.
"Can you leave this one for me? You know, for like, a solo mission." I ask politely.
"I don't know, Tails, it's kind of dangerous." Sonic reponds.
"Errrr, you always say that! Do you have any idea what it's like to be left behind, again, and again, and again!" I could barely finished the sentence without my voice cutting out from anger.
"Of course I do...It'd be great! It's a big responcibility to guard Freedom HQ while the heroes are out fighting!" I become furious.
"Oh, what! I'm not a hero to you!"
"Yes you are, I just didn't word that properly. Bye now!" Before I could argue back, Sonic was already out the door. Every one else followed.

I'm stuck in Freedom HQ alone again. I was still raged from what Sonic had said. He can be such an ass sometimes. I sat down on my favourite chair, and I pick up the book I was reading. But I didn't even open it up. I just held it in my hands. I was too angry to read.
"Ugh. Why can't I just go on the damn mission!" I shout outloud. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, Nicole comes calling for me.
"T-Tail-Tails, I need y-you immediately"
" Why, stuck on another math problem?"
"Tails, that was extremely rude!"
" Well excuse me, for being in a bad mood!"
"What ever, we don't have time for this." Nicole says quietly." Fiona, Sargent Simian, and Lightning from the destructix are attacking all the way from the other side of the city, and the Freedom Fighters sill have their hands full." I try to hide my joy, but it's difficult.
"I'm on my way." I say.

I leave the HQ, and enter the plane I had built. I won't be just a kid anymore. No, i'll be seen for the Freedom Fighter I really am! I buckle up the seat belt.
"We are clear for take-off!" I shout out loud to myself, to try and raise my confidence. And with that, and a pull of my orange, personalized Shift Stick, the Yellow, and oragnge, sturdy plane took off.
"Look out, Destructix! It's my time to shine!"
