Well here's a nice little story about the bond Sonic and Tails once shared until Sonic X was brought out, (Raises angry fist in the air and Curses at the sky) dam you! Well enjoy :)

Chapter 1 - Even Heroes get scared

It was a windy night and no one could be seen on the streets. The trees rustled in the night and a Familiar fox was walking down a street towards a certain Hedgehogs house. He rang the bell and waited, the door opened.

"Hey li'l buddy glad you could make it. How are ya?"

"Cold, it looks like it's going to rain." Tails shivered.

"Come on in." Tails walked inside and propped himself up against a wall while Sonic locked the door. "So did you get it?"

"Yeah I got it, Shadow almost caught me but I got it." Tails pulled out a DVD from within his twin tails. Sonic rubbed his hands in suspense.

"Is it really as scary as everyone says it is? I heard that when it was released in the cinema, half of the audience ran out screaming."

"Nah, can't be that scary I bet it doesn't even make us jump!" Tails walked out of the hallway and into the living room where the sofa and TV was.

"Popcorn ok?" Sonic shouted from the kitchen.

"No it isn't alright! This is our first scary film, we need a decent snack." Tails thought for a minute while he put the DVD in, "Let's order out some pizza."

"Ok but you're paying."

10 minutes later the pizza arrived and Tails opened the door and paid the delivery guy and locked the door again. "Ok you ready?" Tails walked into the living room sitting next to Sonic on the sofa.

"You now there is a sofa over there you can sit on?"

"No way! I want to sit next to you! What if I get really scared and I need someone to grab onto." Tails joked.

"Yeah whatever." Sonic pressed play on the remote and the movie began. While the movie played the duo munched on the pizza. Though the film the duo got quite scared, Tails pulled one leg onto the sofa and rapped his arms around it still stirring at the TV. Sonic on the other hand kept a calm look.

Around 1 hour later the movie ended and the duo was speechless.

"Wow great film, I mean it wasn't that scary was it?" Sonic said. Tails looked stone cold scared his face was locked in a shocked look.

"No it wasn't scary." He simply said still keeping a fixed gaze on the TV.

"Well I'm tired. I'm going to bed, night Tails --" Sonic got up and was heading for the hallway.

"Wait don't go!" Tails got up and ran to Sonics side holding him tight.

"What's wrong? Did that film scare you? Because if it did we won't be watching horrors ever again." Sonic said with slight sarcasm.

"No way! I'm not a baby!" Tails let go of his hero and stood up with his head high.

"Good to now." Sonic patted Tails head even though he new Tails didn't like been treated like a kid Even though he was one, that's how kids are though.

The duo walked out of the living room and into the hall where the stirs were. Tails kept close to sonic looking around as if he was scanning for something. Sonic suddenly stopped and Tails bumped into him.

"What are you doing? Why are you walking so close to me?"

"No reason ... I just don't --" Tails tried to think of an excuse, "Want to get lost!" Sonic figured the film scared him and was just seeking company. The duo got up the stirs and Sonic walked into his bedroom.

"Ummm Tails."

"What?"

"The guest room is next to the bathroom."

"Oh!" Tails carefully walked out of the room turning to face Sonic as he shut the door.

"Night li'l buddy."

Sonic shut the door. Tails then looked around, all the doors were closed on the second floor and he could see a dim light at the bottom of the stirs. "Well I guess I should get washed and brush my teeth." Tails thought.

He walked down the hall and opened the bathroom door. He took out a toothbrush and squeezed some toothpaste onto it and began brushing. Tails heard a noise in the hallway downstairs, still with the toothbrush in his mouth he exited the bathroom and peered over the banister. "Just my imagination ... nothing to worry about." Tails thought trying to reassure himself that there was nothing to be afraid of, he continued to brush his teeth.

Thoughts of the horror film began surfacing, haunting images and faces of the monsters. Tails couldn't take the fear why was he feeling it? The film wasn't real so why? He washed out his mouth with water and ran into his bedroom slammed the door and jumped into bed, he looked around the guest bedroom and noticed some clothes hanging out of some draws that looked like a figure so Tails whipped the covers over himself. "How am I supposed to sleep feeling like this? Maybe if I ask Sonic real nice I can stay in his bedroom."

In Sonics bedroom, "Damn that film was scary, I thought I've seen blood in a film before but man ..." Sonic was about close his eyes but he thought he saw a figure near the door. He quickly turned the light on but it was only his jacket dangling from the handle on the bedroom door. "False alarm ..." He tried to Close his eyes again but the haunting thoughts of the film began surfacing, "Damn I can't sleep like this ... I need a glass of water, no wait -- milk!"

Sonic got out of bed and dropped onto the floor and exited the bedroom. He looked over at the guest room and saw Tails standing outside of the door. "You need a glass of milk to?" Sonic asked. Tails was just afraid he wanted to cry out. "Uhhh, yeah. Can't sleep if you're thirsty!" Tails agreed.

The duo walked downstairs into the kitchen and had a glass of milk each. "Ah yeah that's better." Sonic wiped his mouth and turned to exit the kitchen but he felt a tug on his arm. "Sonic ... "He turned around to face Tails. "Can I sleep with you tonight, please ..." Sonic looked at the fear in the foxes eyes. He was a little scared himself and would appreciate the company. "Sure." He plainly said. Tails smiled and followed Sonic. The duo exited the kitchen and into the hallway, they heard a noise up stirs. They both jumped and peered up stirs. "Well Sonic the hedgehog you better check it out, you're the hero here."

"What me? But I --" Tails pushed Sonic towards the stirs.

"Ok, ok I'll go." Sonic slowly made his way up the stirs until he saw some kind of shadow after that his bravery collapsed and he retreated down the stirs grabbing Tails arm and dragging him into the living room. He closed all the doors and sat on the sofa. "What's wrong Sonic?"

"I saw something, it looked like a spirit."

"Really?" Tails looked very scared. They were both sat on the sofa eying out the doors to make sure nothing would surprise them, "We aren't going to stay here all night are we?"

"Course not, I'm meeting Amy tomorrow."

"You are?"

"Yeah, I finally gave in to that girl, she just wouldn't stop nagging at me to go out, so I agreed to go out shopping with her, once!"

"Good for you Sonic, hope you have fun --" Another noise could be heard outside. The duo jumped again. "Damn I can't take this." Sonic started shaking with fear, Tails was doing the same. Another noise outside and the duo grabbed each other and started shaking "Go away!" Tails shouted, more noise later that night tiredness kicked in and the duo fell asleep on the sofa.

The following morning a pink hedgehog arrived and knocked on the door but no answer. "Hmmm he's usually up by now good job I have a key." Amy opened the door and walked into the living room and saw Sonic lying next to Tails on the sofa. "Awwww, isn't that cute." Amy tried to wake Sonic up but Tails woke up first. He focused on Amy. "Argh a monster!" Tails thought for a second, "Wait --- oh hey Amy."

"Why did you call me a monster?"

Tails panicked. "Uhhh no reason, you want a drink?" Tails quickly dashed into the kitchen.

"How odd, oh Sonic my love wake up." Amy prodded Sonic in the head.

"Ugh ..." He focused his attention on Amy, "Hey Amy, what's up?"

"What do you mean what's up? You've forgotten haven't you?"

"Forgotten what?"

"I can't believe you! You promised to take me shopping today!"

"Oh yeah, sorry I kind of forgot, you see me and Tails ---"

"That's enough Sonic I don't care what you did last night with that fox let's just go!" Amy dragged Sonic by his hand towards the door. Tails who was walking out of the kitchen towards the room when he saw Sonic been dragged off by Amy. "Hey help me li'l buddy." Sonic thought. Tails waved and took a sip of the cup of tea. "Have a good one Sonic." Tails snickered.
