-Chapter One: It all started with a Question

Sally always thought of Tails as someone who was special to her, her own little son , then child she never had. She and every other Freedom Fighter taught him what he knew and trained him. But Sally ansrewed those tougher questions that no one else would even touch. The first question came around Tails' second birthday, more then a year after the Freedom Fighters found him.

Sally was sitting on her bed, it was almost lights out for them when the little Kitsune waddled his way over to her, his two tails twitched to try and keep him in balance."Aunt Sally?"His voice was chocked, like he was crying.

"What is it Miles?What's wrong?"Sally was 7 now, she wore a blue shirt and finally gave up the blue bow in her hair from her young childhood. She picked the young mobian up and sat him on the bed beside her.

"Antonie told me that Mommy and Daddy aren't comming back...I-I don't know what to do..."He muttered softly.

Sally at first didn't know what to say, for sure she knew Ademus wasn't comming back, she seen his robotic shell herself. Sarah (I like that name more then Rosemary) was nowhere to be seen within 6 months of Miles' birth, like she ran away. The words comming from personal experiance flowed freely. "Someday we will have our parents back...someday we will have out home back. Belive me, someday we'll have our planet back and we'll all go back home to Mobotropolis...and you're mother and father will be there."

"Rewwy Sally?"

Sally gave him a hug, she felt burning tears forming in her eyes."Really..."

The first time the Funny Kiss was used was in a time of crisis, it was about 5 years later when Sally and Tails were taking a short walk in the Great Forest like they did every morning. They were picked up by some SWATbots, Sally cursed herself fpr going out there unarmed, she put herself and Tails in danger. Now they were both in a cell awaiting robotization. Th chamber was clearly visible from thier room, in fact, it was in the same room the horrid machine was in. They were in a large steel cage in the corner.

Tails looked at the robotizer, this was his first time seeing the machine that changed so many lives and the lives of those around him. He had his paws on the bars, his head was pokeing out of from between the bars."What's that?"

"Its nothing."Sally said almost instantly, she was in a fetal postion against the backwall of the cell."Stop looking at it, don't pay ir any attention."Her voice was flat, but with a strong tone to it.

The door slowly opened, Two SWATbots were carrying a young rabbit girl, about Tails' age, to the robotizer. He watched silently as they lifted the glass to brace her in there with chains from the floor, he heard her protests and screams as she pleaded with the already lifeless droids. He seen the glass lower over her, and the light flowed though her body, slowly turning her into a robot. Tails whinced as he heard her screams. The glass lifted and then he seen the robot, Tails jumped back in shock.

"W-what happened to her Aunt Sally?" He had gotton into the habbit of using a formal name for the planet's princess.

Sally looked up at Tails and motioned for him to come sit with her. "That's the robotizer, Robotnick uses it to turn us mobians into his robotic servants. That's what happened in Mobotroplis...that's what happened to Uncle Chuck and your father...It might happen to us next." Sally was crying just from the thought of realitry crashing back down on her. She looked at Tails, who seemed deathly silent.

Slowly, she reached out to him and brought his eyes to level with her softened ones. She bent down and gave him a kiss on his left cheek, then his right..then a longer one on his nose."Don't worry...I won't let anything happen to you."

Thoughout the years, Sally and Tails worked side by side, moreso then Sonic did, to power down plants so the stronger Freedom Fighters can get though. Though silently, Sally admired Tails for his perfect balance between strengh and intellegence, only he had that kind of balance. He ushally was a calm, quite person who stayed behind both Sonic and Sally, rarely he showed fits of anger. But there were times where Sally herself was surprized by him...

"I'm leaving!"Tails snapped, he was putting his belongings in his submarine, the Sea Fox.

Sally pulled him by the arm."Please don't leave! We need you here!"

"No one needs me here, because they wouldn't treat me like they did if they wanted me here!"Tails yanked his arm away from Sally, who feel to the floor in front of him.

"Tails..."She looked up at him with a look a sympathy."I know how you feel...I thought I was treated unfairly with the comming of age thing....but then I found out how much I can do now that I can't when I'm 18."

"Comming of age is alot differnt since you will eventually be accepted...but I'll always be the baby of the group."

Sally lightly gripped his shoulders and looked at him."I accept you...that's why I stopped calling you Miles..."

Tails looked her in the eyes, then down at the ground."Give me a week..."He said almost silently.

Sally waited thw week, and every day after it by the shoreline for Tails to return. Two weeks and no sign of him, no one had heard from him, untill she received a disturbing letter on her doorstep almost 3 weeks later.

Ms. Acorn

Your dear Miles is no longer among you...we have him, my master and I. Too bad you're too late to save him...

Foina the fox

Sally gathered a search party within the hour to search for Tails, all they found were the remains of his Seafox at the bottom of the ocean. Panic stricken, she was about to put toghter a raid for Robotroplis when she seen the shadow of a fox limping towards Knothole.

"Tails?"She questioned. She ran up to the shadow to see the little two tailed fox and gave him a hug."Oh god, I missed you so much!"

Never before has Sally felt the sorrow for Tails' sudden disapearance as she did right then. Not for Sonic or anyone else, this feeling was fulfilling to the Squirrle Princess, she smiled weakly innerly. This feeling was on she didn't want to go away, it seemed like all she had in this world to remind her of the old one. The days her and her mother used to walk in the forest she now shared with Tails now, she loved her mother...this feeling...if couldn't be...

Sally sat up in bed during the current time, she was 20 now, already came to age a while ago though they still lived in Knothole. The only thing that seemed to matter to her was her own emtions, the feelings of her people though she was now legally the queen over thier place were netural. She sighed softly as she looked out the window, Tails' hut was visible in the distance from there, the lights were turned out. She smiled slightly, Tails always went the bed early though he was 16, it was like nothing about him changed. She could feel the blood rushing to her cheeks....

No denying it, something had come over her in the last few months, she felt along the rosiness in her cheeks.Her eyes closed, she felt this emotion with only her family, but much stronger. Not a passing thing...she knew for sure that....


Its love...
