author's note:
I know this is the third time I upload this story, but frankly, I don't care. I just wanted to write a good fanfiction and the first two attempts had too many errors, too many plot-holes, and it didn't fit the characters. So I went and permanently re-wrote the whole thing, and don't worry, this is the last version I'm going to do. So anyway, if you're one of the people who've read it before, then I hope you'll enjoy this updated version.
There was a party at tails's new home just outside the city, everyone was enjoying themselves.
Tails just turned 15, a few days ago, well, his birthday is unknown for everybody, even tails didn't know, so they just celebrated the day he got adopted.
But unlike the past years, his friends started asking questions… difficult, questions.
"Hey Tails? How come you don't know your real birthday?" Cream asked.
"Eh, I was just about 2 years when sandy and Ben (his step parents) adopted me, and they didn't know either, but enough about that." Sonic knew when tails was faking a smile, even tough the others always fell for it.
'Why does he always do that? He has never told any of us about his past. And when we ask him something about that, he just changes the subject.' Sonic thought to himself.
At the end of the evening, when everybody had already left, Sonic turned to Tails.
"Eh, Tails? Can I talk to you for a moment? Sonic asked on a serious tone.
"Sure." Tails went to the sofa and sat next to sonic.
"Tails? I don't know how to ask this, but, why do you never talk about your past or your real parents?" Tails was caught off-guard, what could he say?
"That's nothing I want to talk about, sonic." Tails said while getting up, but Sonic grabbed his wrist, prohibiting he could get away. He noticed Tails had tears in his eyes.
"Tails, pleas, tell me, I see you have tears in your eyes, if there's something bothering you you should tell me, you're my best friend, I don't want something bad happening to you just because you won't talk about it." Tails looked back and noticed the concerned look on Sonic's face while trying to fight the falling tears.
"Tails?" sonic hold out his arms and tails almost jumped into it, hugging him.
"Don't worry, it's ok." Sonic said, trying to calm him down.
A few minutes later Tails had calmed down a bit and got out of sonic's tight locked arms.
"Ok, you got me." Tails said while sniffing. I'll tell you, but only you, ok?" Sonic nodded in agreement.
"Ok what do you wanna know?"
Sonic thought for a minute. "Who are your real parents? Are they still alive? Are there more foxes like you? …" "Wow, wow, one at a time, I'll just tell you everything I know from the beginning, ok?"
