Author's Notes: This story just came to me after listening to "Can you feel the sunshine?" and despite the "Tails Doll Curse" theory behind it, the normal and ACID remix aren't that bad. Anyway, this story is just for fun and my fondness of alternate universes with the Sonic Universe. Also, please note that there will be old Sonic characters in this; example: Bunnie Rabbot, Sally Acorn, Rotor, Antoine, etc.
I only take CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. Any DESTRUCTIVE criticism will be ignored and deleted. Same goes for those who outright say that this story sucks. Seriously, if you don't like the story, just don't read it or even review the story.
Anyway, I own nothing except possible OCs unless the OC is listed otherwise. Everything else belongs to SEGA.
Chapter 1: Prologue
Unknown Location; Night...
A small young fox with two tails is seen sitting under a dead tree as it rains around him, his sapphire eyes filled with sorrow. His fur was covered in dirt, muck, and grime and covered him almost completely and the rain did nothing to wash it off or really do anything to it at all due to how thick the stuff was in his fur. The fox was roughly four-years-old and had orange fur, or so it seemed. The grime covering his fur made it seem lighter than it really was but let's leave the true color as a surprise for now, shall we?
Tears flowed from his sapphire eyes as he thought about the recent increase of the amount of bullies he had plaguing him all the time because of...what he was. He wasn't born this way but it was because of...him that he looked like the way he did. The fox slowly looked up upon hearing footsteps hitting the muddy ground and saw a cobalt blue hedgehog, roughly ten-years-old, with greens eyes and wearing red and white sneakers with gold buckles on them standing under an umbrella.
"Hey, why are you sitting out here in the rain all alone?" said the hedgehog looking down at the young fox.
"Leave me alone." said the fox sadly as he tried to curl up on himself further.
"Hey what's wrong? You seem sad."
"I said just leave me alone."
"Look whatever's wrong you can tell me. My name's Sonic. What's your's?"
"Why do you want to know? So you can bully me like all the others?"
"Bully problems huh? Those can be rough. I find the best way to deal with bullies is to just ignore them. Eventually they get bored and will stop picking on you. I can't believe that you would be having bully problems though. You seem like such a likeable kid. So what's your name?"
"{Hesitantly}M-miles P-prower."
"That's a long name. So why are you sitting out here, and not off with your friends?"
"I don't have any friends. Nobody wants to be my friend."
"Really?" Miles nods sadly as more tears begin to form in his eyes. "Well that's all gonna change. I'll be your friend Miles. I'll also make sure those bullies never pick on you again. What do you say to that?"
"It would be nice to have a friend. Alright let's be friends."
"Great. Let's go back to my place and get out of this rain. You can wash up there."
Sonic extends his hand and Tails looks at it and smiles before taking his hand and Sonic helps him to his feet.
"Thank you Sonic."
"Not a problem buddy. Now let's get out of here. Hey, is it alright if I call ya Tails? Not to be mean but it is kind of cool that you have two tails buddy."
Tails slowly nods and Sonic smiles at the young fox and "Tails" returns the smile, albeit hesitantly.
3 Hour Laters; Sonic's House...
Sonic was pacing the living room of his house when he heard a door open and a soaking wet fox with an oversized towel wrapped around himself walked into view.
"I said a one hour bath, not two hours." said Sonic jokingly.
"S-sorry, I had some trouble getting the dirt off." said Tails looking down.
"Hey, I was being playful with that sentence, I wasn't scolding you but you did take a little too long."
Despite the towel being in the way, Sonic noticed something at the base of the kid's right ear.
"Hey Tails, what's with your ear? Did something happen?" said Sonic looking at the ear carefully.
"Um...yeah. I was attacked by a bunch of bullies and they hurt me, badly. I had to get stitches, of course the doctor wasn't too gentle." said Tails looking away.
"How badly were you hurt? You can show me kid, I promised I would be your friend and there is no way I'm gonna go back on that just because of how you look."
Tails removes the towel to reveal stitches on his shoulders, elbows, knees, and on the tips of tails, along with stitches at the bases of his ears and he looks down sadly.
"Wow, they hurt you that badly?"
Tails nods.
"Don't worry, nothing like that is ever going to happen again, not while I live and breath."
Sonic pulled the fox into a hug and the fox was hesitant for a second before he returned it and Sonic could have sworn he heard his spine 'pop' from the fox's hug.
'How strong is this kid?' thought Sonic to himself.
END CHAPTER
Hope you enjoyed the first chapter of this story and don't forget to read, review, follow, and/or favorite.
Also, relationships are: Sonic x Sally, Bunnie Rabbot x Antoine .
I do NOT, repeat, DO NOT like the Sonic x Amy relationship. Why? Simple: She's possessive of Sonic and in no way makes a match for Sonic. I prefer the Sonic x Sally relationship because that was what it was originally before...they kind of killed the Sonic series with roboticizing the Princess. Anyway, no Sonic x Amy relationship in this story!
