Chapter one
Can you feel the sunshine?
He awoke mostly to the sound of birds; and beams of early morning warmth, creeping up his furry face, tickling the small whiskers fanning off his snout. He yawned, blinking away sleep. Stretching, the male vulpine rolled out of his cozy bed, pulling himself from under its soft covers 'This is still too weird' he thought to himself as he shambled to the bathroom.
His reflection in the mirror caught his eye, orange fur ruffled and pressed firmly to one side of the fox's face, his deep nights slumber evident. He gave himself a shake to de-fluff and rubbed his light blue eyes, staring at himself in the mirror, '4 years since…' he sighs as he turns the two metallic taps of the cramped shower. Tails hoped in, shuddering with at its refreshing coolness.
"Oh! The shower going! Tails is up!" says Amy in the kitchen of the old freedom fighter house, as she flips her pancakes. "He better, he leaves today doesn't he? I hope he's packed" Amy peers to the living room were Sonic is standing, looking out the houses large bay window. Eyes sternly cast a gaze, obviously in deep thought. She sighed, 'poor dear, with no eggman anymore and Tails going to a human university, He's going to be even more down in the dumps' Amy walks over and gently wraps her arms around the famous blue blurs stomach.
"Hey champ come on, I made breakfast let's eat. It's not chili dogs, but it'll do. You'll feel better, I promise!" "One sec, I'm gonna' make sure Tails is ready" says Sonic quietly, turning in Amy's arms to look at her. 'She's changed' he thinks to himself, she no longer had the air about her of a young obsessed girl. Years of conflict with Eggman had seen to that. Amy was an adult, they all are now in their own ways. 'And to think, I used to run away from her' he holds her tighter and kisses her pink forehead quills; "I'll be right back" he spoke softly as he turned and headed to the stair case.
'Alright that should be about it' Tails smiles to himself at his neat packing, everything in its place, just so. "Hey little bud" Tails jumped a bit and whirled around to see his friend in the door way, "morning sonic! I'm just about ready, I smell pancakes did Amy make breakfast?" "She sure did Tails, so you're excited huh? Going to be an even bigger nerd eh?" sonic chuckles, "Yeah suppose I am…" Tails looks at the ground for a moment; he knew this was a big decision. He had taken almost a year to make up his mind, calculating the pros and cons.
'He's taking this better than I thought; maybe this won't be so bad' "Sonic? Just cuz' I'm going away to a human university doesn't mean I'm gone forever, besides you're the fastest thing alive! You can come visit me whenever you want!" he gives Sonic a big toothy grin. Tails by no means 'wanted' to leave his brother, but with the lull in action and peace in full swing… and with an opportunity to learn Human tech and explore a new world on his own? It was too tempting to the young fox.
Who after all was not a pup anymore. Sonic laughed and walked over to his oldest and dearest friend, "just never thought we would actually stop Eggman one day you know? and all this?" he said as he leaned to give his friend a hug, in some respects Sonic was right. Tails still found himself in disbelief from time to time. The war with Eggman seemed to go on for an eternity. And would have, but thankfully it wasn't so, the evil doctor had made a terrible mistake.
While trying to open a portal to his old world, he had reversed time and the fabric of space. To Eggman's horror he found the world he left behind was no longer a wasteland. Earth, was a utopia. When the two worlds were brought side by side, one planet on either side of a shimmering pool of light, probes were sent through on both sides. First contact was made, by Eggman. Misunderstanding the rip in dimensions, he was immediately attacked by the defensive Humans.
There strength was overwhelming. It took only a year from the time of the disruption in space flow, for Eggman to fall. The Mobian and Human alliance rolled over his robotic hordes with relative ease. In part mostly, to the human's destructive weaponry, black powder having never being discovered on Mobius. In the three years since Eggman's capture trade and commerce was established between worlds. Tails and the scientists of court Acorn were quick to create more portals, and with the help of the humans, ones that were stable enough for continued traffic from world to world. Tails had to admit. They were a quick and intelligent race, almost frighteningly so.
"and you be careful, I know earth is cool and all, but eggman was Human too, just saying" Tails rolls his eyes, releasing the hug "uh huh, I know you don't entirely trust humans, but they did help us stop Eggman's army when he opened the portal to their world, and now look, we have amazing new friends and allies, I can't wait to see what I can learn from them" Sonic felt a twinge of guilt, Tails was right, never before had Mobius prospered so, Eggman and his robot hoard had all but taken the resources from there planet. And with the portal to earth and the trade with the humans, Life was improving a great deal.
For the first time since he was little, could Sonic say he wanted for nothing. There was finally enough for everyone. The constant battles with eggman had takes its toll on everyone, and all the lives lost. This was the first real time of peace. And besides a brief uprising from Mobian's who wanted out from underneath the rule of the acorn family, which again with the help of the humans and combined might of the Royal Acorn army, lasted a short 2 years.
In the last year since found not a peep from the Independence. Any hidden cells were routed out by the infamous Acorn secret service, lead by the fanatically loyal Geoffrey St John. Sonic looked away rubbing the back of his head, 'and here I am getting all spiteful cuz' my little buddy got invited to the top Tech university on Earth to study with humans.' He quickly ruffles Tails bright orange hair and gives him a wink, "yeh your right, let's eat."
"Alright! ALL ABORED! EVERYONE GOING TO EARTH PLEASE STAND ON THE LEFT SIDE PORTAL PAD" yells the Conductor for the inter-planetary portal. "Well guys this is it!" Tails turns to Amy and Sonic, who both hug him at the same time, Amy being Amy was barely keeping to together. She blew her nose into her tissue "BYE TAILS! I'LL MISS YOU SO MUCH! WHAAAAAA" Tails smiles and hugs her again "aw Amy I'm only a portal away" "Don't worry little buddy, she'll be fine" Tails couldn't help but laugh, Here was tough old Sonic trying to be all macho while holding back tears "Hehehe! You big blue baby!" Tails giggles jokingly, Sonic reaches out, playfully punches Tails arm "Off ya go nerd" The fox bends and grabs his bags and winks to the two hedgehogs, then steps on the pad he turns and waves.
The tall lanky, light salmon hued human conductor called out again "AGAIN! I SAY ALLLL ABOOOORED! Left portal pad leaving Mobius to Earth! ALL NONE PASSANGERS STAND CLEAR OF THE PAD PLEASE! ALL PASSENGERS MAKE SURE YOUR ARMS, LEGS AND BELONGINGS ARE NOT PAST THE BLACK AND YELLOW LINES!" After a brief moment there was single long whistle, then a loud *CRACK* a hot flash of electric green light, and in an instant Tails and the small crowd of Human's and Mobian's were gone.
"Well my hero, what shall we do now?" Amy asks while holding Sonics blue furred arm, the speedster sighed "I don't know… still kind of hungry… chili dogs?" Amy chuckles as they both head to the portal station exit.
