Sonic and the Secret of Tails Chapter 1: The Beginning of a New Life "It's a quiet day on Earth. Birds are chirping, fish are swimming, and Sonic is nowhere in sight." Tails thought to himself as he fixed up his planes. He, being 16 now, meant he had a LOT of responsibility now. But just then… "Hey little buddy." Sonic said. "What's up?" Tails growled. He hated when Sonic said 'little buddy'. It pissed him off. His size was always a sensitive subject. "Sonic. What. Do. You. Want?" Being sure to emphasize every word with a hint of hatred. "Just wanted to see what was going on. Don't be so uptight. And I just wanted to invite you to the party tonight." Sonic told him. "I politely decline." Tails said with an edge of acidity in his voice. "I hear Cream's gonna be there. Maybe you could try to get lucky with her, if you know what I mean?" Sonic said in a suggestive voice. That did it. "SONIC YOU SICK, PERVERTED, BASTARD OF A HEDGEHOG!" Tails screamed at the top of his lungs. "HOW DARE YOU TALK ABOUT CREAM IN SUCH A WAY! I HAVE HALF A MIND TO" "Tails, what are you talking about?" Cream said as she walked into the hanger. Those words took the rage right out of him. "Oh nothing Cream." Tails said hastily. "Absolutely nothing." He said. "Were just talking about the party." "You're going too? Yay!" she said excitedly. "But I heard screaming. No words, but I could hear the sounds and you sounded quite upset about something." Tails thought for a second, and then said, "Oh that, oh, that was just me getting upset over dropping a wrench on my foot. By the way, what are you doing here Cream?" "Delivering those parts you wanted me to get you Tails." She said in a curious way. Her voice always helped calm him down. "So you'll pick me up at seven?" she asked. "Yeah Cream, seven sounds good." Then Cream walked away very happily. "So, what were you saying Tails?" Sonic said to Tails with his tone oozing with smugness. "Probably rethinking what you said eh, little buddy." "Sonic, get the HELL out of my house!" Tails screamed at him. "Aren't you testy today?" Sonic said. Tails threw a wrench at his head, and it hit him right on the forehead. "Mother of fuck Tails! What the hell was that for?" Sonic yelled after a large bruise appeared on his forehead. "I said, OUT!" Tails yelled. "OK, OK, I'm going! Sheesh man, give a guy a break." Then he ran off. "Finally, I can get back to work." Then he grabbed the parts and started working. An hour later, he picked up his last tool and put it inside his toolbox and headed for the shower. Tails liked taking showers, especially lathering his twin tails with shampoo. He was just drying off when there was a knock at the door. "Who the hell is that?" he asked himself as he wrapped a towel around his mid-section. As he went to the door he glanced at the clock. 6:00 it read. "Who is it?" he asked as he stared through the peephole. "Dr. Jonathan Light, head of Light Ind." the man said. He was a large man with a white lab coat and a pince-nez on the bridge of his nose. "I'm here to speak with you Miles." He said. Tails opened the door. "What do you want to ask me?" Tails said with a hint of annoyance. "I was in the shower when you knocked on the door man. So WHAT DO YOU WANT!" "I am here to ask you, if you want it done, to have your true power awakened." He said as if nothing was wrong. "I know that you have seen the strength of your friends after their awakenings, and many of them have reached their final forms. I also know that you have been going through a rough point in your life, adolescence and such, and I wanted to extend a hand to you." He finished. "What will happen if I go along with this?" Tails asked with eagerness in his voice. "FINALLY! Someone on my side! Someone who will strengthen me incredibly!" Tails thought to himself happily. "Well, we will set up a time to go and have you come over to my lab. At said time to get you into the machine, I will activate it, and your power will be awakened. Simple as that." He explained in a matter-of-fact manner. "How about tomorrow at let's say… 10:00 A.M." Tails inquired hopefully. "Alright then, 10:00 it is then." Light said happily. So after that Tails decided to dawn one of his best suits and after dawning his best suits he headed down to his private car collection and decided to take his custom car that looks like a cross between a Bugatti Veyron, a SSC Ultimate Arro, and a Saleen S7 Twin-Turbo with the speed of all three combined plus a nitro booster, 5,000 pounds of body armor, missile-proof windows, hidden mini-guns, missile turrets, laser cannon, the weapons of which are hidden inside the car's hyperspace inventory generator in case of emergency. He grabs the keys for said vehicle, opened the garage's door, listened to the purr of his specially designed engine, and tore out to Cream's house.
