It wasn't over a plane or bullies. They didn't meet on a warm afternoon next to the Tornado. To be fair Tails doesn't remember how they met. To young, to messed up.
Sonic, older yet young, at the time, and more put together remembers better. Everything is a blur when you can run as fast as he can but it's made worse when every village he passed has been left in devastation by the act of a single madman.
Running is easy for him. His strength and running fast is everything he has, is. But he had no where to run to. His chest hurt. No where to go. Or maybe he did, he was unsure. Didn't care. His uncle had been capture. His parents were gone, dead. He was alone. His chest hurt. The rain never stopped. It came down hard as he wonders from one devastated village to the next. He had speed but he was weak and hungry and his chest hurt. He dragged himself anyways, slow and slowing. Almost every village is empty. The citizens had already been rounded up and taken far away and if they hadn't then they laid dead in the streets and court yards of every town. He doesn't care much for the dead anymore. Didn't even spare them a glance.
Another village like all the rest, destroyed and rotting. He heads East because he remembers that his Uncle took him and fled West. He needed to go back he figured. Rain pores and pores leaving the ground muddy and slippery. The drops against ever surface was deafening.
So, how did you meet each other?
The rotting dead lay about and the rain came down like the end of the world. I had slipped on nothing and didn't have the strength to catch my fall. I laid there on the ground in mud. I looked to my left only because that is where my sight landed after I fell. I see a dead fox cub. Tucked away in some rubble. He was dead and I figure so was I by that point. I just stared at him. His eyes where closed, his fur looked to be already rotting off in some places on his head. I closed my eyes to rest. I opened them again to see.
I looked back at the fox and he looked at me. He moved slightly. I replied by moving quickly. I picked myself off the mud and crawled to the cub. He looks up at me as I approach but does not make a sound or movement. I see him clearly for the first time. What I had assumed to be rot was just mange. He is small. And light as I discover as I picked him up. I am lost because I don't know how to get where I want to go. The cub is even lesser them me, he has no place to go at all.
We met in the rain surrounded by the death and destruction Dr. Robotnic had created out of Mobius. I was nine and Tails was two. We where both rotting away with the rest of them. Moments ago I had excepted that I was going to die. To be truthful, I had still kind of thought that but I didn't want the cub to die so I couldn't die either.
We met that day.
So I carried on.
We reach Knothole months later.
-Short first chapter. It is 11 pm I just had to write down this idea. -
Au Idea. Connecting Sonic X and The Knothole Cartoon. How they met is different. I'm changing some stuff but the overall basic plot is very much the same. Please comment if you like. No Beta reader all mistakes are my own.
