Chapter 1: Tails' Dreams.

"Yoo-hoo, Tails, how do I look?" Amy asked seductively.

"Oh, Amy, um... you look great... no clothes, heh." Tails awkwardly responded.

"C'mon Tails, take your clothes off. Hop into bed with me. I promise I'll be nice." Amy slyly smiled.

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP...

Tails jolted upright in his bed. Cold sweat dripping from his face and his heart beating out of his chest. Tails tightly shut his eyes and shook his head to remove the images from his mind. Then put his hand to his forehead to wipe the sweat off.

":pant: Alarm clock. :pant: Thank you..."

Tails ran his other hand across the clock searching for the button to shut it off. :click:

':Gulp: That dream again? Amy... why do you torment me so?'

Tails removed the top drawer of his nightstand. He slammed his fist on top of nightstand and a small shelf containing a black leather journal with his emblem on it dropped down. Tails took his journal and a pen out from the removed drawer. Tails flipped through it taking glances at his previous entries. The words Amy, dream, and love, were everywhere. He found a blank page and began to write.

Entry 97,

Amy again.

For the past few nights my dreams about Amy have been getting worse, so to speak. Yet again Amy was coaxing me to have sex with her. That dream has been recurring frequently, actually. Don't get me wrong, its not like I do not enjoy that thought, its just...I think that is moving way too fast. I mean, Ames and I aren't even dating. I haven't even told her that I love her. She is still a Sonic cling-on. Amyway I digress. Every time I have that dream I wake up to my heart pounding out of my chest. It hurts me, both emotionally and physically. I feel as if I might die in my sleep from the cause of a cardiac arrest. My love of her remains still a dark secret. I wish sometimes I could just tell someone my feelings and dreams about Ames. Before I go insane. To help lift some of this burden. For now though, all I have is you, my journal.

~Miles Prower~

Tails dropped the pen into the drawer next to his bed, placed the journal back in his hidden shelf, pushed it up, hearing the click, and placing the drawer back in. Tails checked the time.

"6:43...Well, I'm not getting back to sleep so, I might as well get my tails out of bed." Tails yawned

The yellow fox drug his feet all the way to the bathroom. He stepped onto the tile floor, stretched tall to crack his back, rolled his head to snap his neck, and twisted his tails tightly together to pop them. Tails turned on the shower to let the water run until it reached his perfect temperature. As he walked back over to shut the bathroom door just he heard a knock at the front door.

"Dammit, what now?" He grumbled.

Tails shut the door to the bathroom and lazily walked to the front door. He looked through the peek hole; it was Sonic? 'What is he doing here so early?' Tails opened the door to greet his best friend.

"Hey Sonic, whats going on?"

"Oh, nothing much. I just was wondering...if we could talk." Sonic observed Tails' attire. "Seeing you in your pj's however, I get the impression that I woke you...Sorry."

"No, you didn't wake me. You just caught me right before I hopped in the shower."

"Oh, then go take your shower and I'll wait here on the couch."

"Okay, thanks and come on in!" Sonic nodded and stepped inside. Tails went back to the bathroom. 'Sonic sure is acting out of character. He usually doesn't care to talk all that much. Normally he would face something head on. But, whatever he wants to talk about must have him troubled...'

Tails stepped into the shower and let the warm water run over his body. Loosening up his matted fur. Tails shut his eyes to allow the water run over his head. That image of Amy naked in bed was burned in the back of his eyelids. Tails then began to feel a tingly sensation in his lower regions.

"Ack! Oh no you don't!"

Tails immediately turned the water colder. To rid himself of his "pleasurable" thoughts.

"Cold, cold, cold, cold! AHH! ...It's f-for your own g-g-good T-Tails."

The kitsune finished his shower within minutes, after what to him seemed like hours under the cold water. Tails stepped out and happily wrapped himself up with a towel. He balled up on the floor to save whatever body heat he had left. Teeth chattered rapidly and he was shaking to where his body was a stiff as a rock.

"M-m-mayb-be I shu-sh-should have let my th-thoughts win this r-r-round. D-D-Damn that was c-c-cold!" Tails stuttered violently aloud.

Sonic knocked on the door. "Tails, you okay in there?"

"Y-Yeah I'm f-fine."

"Why are your words trembling? Did you take a cold shower?"

"Yep, to help mys-self wake u-up."

Sonic grinned. He leaned on the door, wanting to tease him a bit.

"Tails, if you want time to yourself I can come back later." Sonic snickered.

"W-what d-do you mean by th-that?"

"You know what I mean little bro." Sonic balled a fist and shook it slowly up and down.

"OH GOD! What the hell Sonic! You're so disgusting!!" Tails shouted.

Tails could hear through the door that Sonic was laughing hysterically. Tails face reddened and flushed with frustration. Tails wasn't too sure he wanted to listen to whatever the hedgehog wanted to discuss with him anymore.

"Urusai!!"

"Easy Tails, I was just joking with you. You know, bein' funny."

"I wasn't laughing, Sonic." Tails said seriously.

Sonic shook is head."Fine, fine. I'm sorry."

":Sigh: Let me get dressed then we can talk, alright?"

Sonic nodded as if Tails could see him. "Okay Tails, you know where you'll find me. Again, I'm sorry." The hedgehog walked off to the livingroom.

Tails shook the remaining water out of his fur, like a wet dog does. Tails wrapped the towel around his waist and walked stealthily back into his room. In his closet he pulled out a pair of blue jeans, a tan vest, green boxers, black socks, a pair of black tennis shoes and an imitation leather belt. While Tails dressed, Amy's image was still stuck in his mind. That familiar sensation was already back.

"Do you want another cold shower Tails?" He threatened himself as he tied his shoes.

Tails soon after came to the living room. Sonic was sitting on the beige, greased stained, couch and Tails took a seat next to him. He leaned back and put his hands behind his head.

"So, Sonic what did you want to talk about?" The fox asked nonchalantly.

"Well, y'know how Ames is always stalking me."

"Yeah, I've seen how badly she can annoy you. What did she do this time?" Tails said as he fixed his eyes on the ceiling.

"Yeah, well..." Sonic's words trailed off.

"Well what?" Tails' focus was now on Sonic. Curious about what he wanted to say.

"I'm taking Amy on a date, to that new Italian restaurant downtown."

"WHAT?!" Tails shot forward. Staring at Sonic wide eyed. "What has possessed you into taking Amy Rose on a date? You hate her! Did she hit your head the hard?!" The kitsune shouted.

"Tails easy, calm down! I'm just going on a date with her, relax. Even if I somehow fall in love with Ames and thats a big 'if', I won't let it interfere with our friendship. I promise."

Tails gave the slightest nod and stared into space. 'I don't care if YOU won't let our friendship be destroyed. But, Amy will affect us indirectly. My love for her is that strong Sonic. I-I just wish I could tell you how much I adore the girl that stalks you.' Tails thought and let out a mental sigh.

"Earth to Tails. Come in Tails." Sonic was waving his hand in front of Tails eyes.

"I heard you Sonic...congratulations." Tails held depression in his voice.

"Hey, c'mon little bro. You know I'd never let a girl come between us." He softly slugged Tails in the arm.

"...Sonic if you'll excuse me, I need to take a walk." Tails said as he slid off the couch.

"Okay, you want any company?"

"No, I need some time to recollect my thoughts. Feel free to do what you want."

Sonic placed Tails with a puzzled look as Tails walked out the door; closing it almost silently.

"Tails... What's with you today? You're acting rather, peculiar." His devil and angle showed up on his shoulders at the very moment.

"Hmm, maybe if you snoop around in Tails bedroom you might find something."

"No! Sonic you can't do that! If Tails caught you, your friendship would be over then and there."

"But, you might find out what is wrong with him. Tails did after all say, feel free to do what you wanted. There's your loop hole!" His devil grimaced.

His angle shook his head in disapproval. "Maybe you should think before you act. This will stain you conscious until you tell Tails what you did."

"Ah, Who asked you! Why don't you just use your little wings and fly back to where you came from."

"Grrr! Condemned creature!"

Sonic stood; "Would you two just SHUT UP!" He shouted, pulling on his quills. "You, fly away! You, go back to hell!" He pointed his finger at each of them. They both gave a 'humph' and vanished.

Sonic slowly sat down on the couch and exhaled a long sigh. 'What should I do? Tails is my best bud, I can't do anything that would violate his privacy. But, there is a chance I might find out whats wrong with him. No, no, no. I am gonna sit here and just watch television. Forget all of what just happened. Tails is probably only going trough one of his phases so, there's nothing to worry about." Sonic clicked the remote and shrugged off the events that happened a few minutes ago with the TV like he said he would. But, he could still sense something wasn't right. Sonic could feel it in his stomach. Why did Tails act the way he did. Him going on a date was not such a big deal, was it? Or, was it something else...

Sonic's stomach moaned. "Ooooh, kinda hungry. I hope Tails has some food..."

Sonic raided the kitchen. He found very little to eat. A third of a bag of stale chips, a few half empty cans of various pop, a frozen TV dinner. Sonic fell to the floor. "Tails no wonder you're so small, you never eat anything!"

"Ah-ah-CHOO! Ahh! CHOO!! Ngh...Great, now someone's speaking ill of me." Tails grumbled.
