Hello all, this is a story about Miles Prower. If you never heard of him by that name, maybe Tails would ring a bell. The young fox genius who personally built many flying machines, inventions and is the best friend of Sonic the Hedgehog. Tails keeps up with Sonic with the twin tails that he uses to fly, hence his nickname.
Tail's planet, Mobius, was attacked by an evil species called the Metarex. In order to initially fight the Metarex, Tails and the rest took off into space. Through many adventures, they have their ups and downs.
In this story, we see Tails getting over the recent traumatic death of his love, Cosmo. She was a Seedrian, once a proud race of plants that one day locked in combat with a multitude of species over the years. This all happened before she was born, so Cosmo was hazy about the subject. She committed suicide in order to save the galaxy from the evil Metarex plan to put plants throughout the whole universe, which would wipe out all animal life.
Now Sonic returned to Tails and gave him the only part of Cosmo that he could find, a white seed. The young fox starts to feel upset at his friend…
"I BELIEVED IN YOU!" Tails yelled in dismay as his body collapsed from depression. Sonic didn't say anything, trying not to upset his best friend. After a few moments of feeling nothing but despair and disappointment, Tails got up with tears in his eyes and ran toward the cockpit, one fist tightly clenched around his now most valued possession.
Upon walking through the corridors, the others rushed up to share their sadness about this terrible event.
As they brought back Tail's memories of the girl while they talked to him, the young fox felt a temper reaching his head, suddenly exploding with a loud cry that stunned everyone around him. They watched him continue walking down the hallway sobbing softly as he went.
As he walked alone, Tails thought to himself, "I have to get a hold of myself... I'm going to lose friends at this rate! But she was so..."
He then realised he stood in the control centre of the Blue Typhoon. He flew up to his seat solemnly and upon landing in it initiated the emergency energy transfer.
Tails spun the steering wheel of the giant spaceship.
The Blue Typhoon took over forty minutes to turn 180 degrees in space, heading back home. Eggman's craft was nowhere to be seen, after the event that even shattered his emotions occurred he had took off into deep space.
Tails was steering the ship with his ocean blue eyes wide open and a slight trickle running down the side of his face. Everyone except for the Chaotix had decided to gather around Tails, to try and calm his shocked and unbelieving state. But Sonic wasn't helping.
"Buddy, I understand that Cosmo was very important to you, but you must move on from this disaster"
Tails turned fast towards the source of this comment.
"Sonic! She died less than an hour ago! All I have of her now is a seed! How would you feel if the love of your life suddenly died?!"
Tails sniffed loudly and sobbed while trying to keep the ship moving on course. He then reflected, "Ever since I met Cosmo I liked her personality, her company and her beauty... Then when we fell in that lake together on Planet Marmolin , that changed everything... I don't know why but it did!"
Amy felt a pang of guilt when she heard the lake reference, realising that during their trance, Tails and Cosmo never heard her yelling at them about the lake at the time, they must have been too into each other to care.
"Tails..." Amy begun, "About that lake... It was... The Lake of Love"
The fox turned his attention to Amy and asked, "Huh..?"
"Tails, I was planning to use the lake as a trap for Sonic, so he would be forced to fall in love with me"
The blue hedgehog suddenly had a disgusted look on his face and walked away from where he stood close to Amy.
"However you and Cosmo fell into it instead. So you two were bound to love each other forever by the magic of the lake" Amy finished.
Tails looked distressed as he said, "So Cosmo loved me as much as I had loved her? Oh... Why can't she still be alive?!"
He smashed his hand on the chair and made a huge sound of impact that everyone reacted to.
Chris was the first to approach the angry fox.
"Tails, Cosmo died for a purpose. You must understand that" Chris said with a tone of sadness in his voice, "If she were still alive, she would be dead anyway, but with us and the whole universe in tow!"
The orange fox sighed.
"Well Chris, as usual you're right" Tails agreed solemnly, "But I still can't get over her. Not yet... So can you all please leave me alone for a minute?"
Or forever, the young fox thought to himself.
Then a shout came from the hallway, "Ta-da!"
The three Chaotix members jumped in front of a perplexed Tails and handed him an obviously homemade flower pot filled with an amount of the ships' soil supply.
"Guys, how did you make this? It's beautiful!" Tails complimented.
"Oh, we made it at home several weeks ago and it was onboard our ship... we decided that you need it more than we do" Vector answered.
"Put in the seed, Tails" Charmy encouraged.
After placing the seed into the welcoming soil, Tails felt immediately uplifted.
He felt all the angry emotions leave him, instead feeling apologetic and at peace.
Yes, he thought, Cosmo wouldn't want me upset with my friends...
"Maybe she will come back... Someday" Tails said happily, "But right now, we've got a home to get back to!"
Everyone cheered for Tails as he charged the Blue Typhoon through space at top speed, locked on a course for Mobius!
