Thanks to their efforts they had finally brought peace and harmony to their world.

Until today that is.

Mina was on her way home from practice for her next concert. It had been such a splendid day and she couldn't wait to tell Ash about a new song she came up with about the two of them.

Nearing her house she saw that the door was opened she recalled locking the door before leaving for practice, cautiously she entered the house and made her way to the bedroom, Ash had became sick 3 days ago and this made her worried. Had someone broken in and killed him or was it something far worse.

As she neared the bedroom she heard some snoring behind the door, she sighed lightly and knocked.

"Ash?" She asked lightly, though she had received no answer she opened the door and a cloud of negative emotions enveloped as the golden furred and purple haired mongoose saw them, sleeping in the nude.

Ash and a female leopard lying next to him in bed, her head resting on his fuzzy strong yellow chest and his arm wrapped around her with a slight smile on his STUPID lipstick covered muzzle! Mina was in a state of shock, she didn't know what to do, she just stood there for a moment then she began to well up and screamed. The two woke with a start and when Ash saw Mina at the doorway a look of guilt fell over his face, he opened his mouth to try and come up with an excuse. But Mina wasn't having any of it, she then took off out the doorway running out the house and out the city faster than she did ever before.

Finally she stopped right in the Great Forest and slumped forward to the ground as she broke down into tears holding her face in her hands. She had never felt such tremendous emotional pain before in her life, not even when she witnessed Sonic kissing Sally back in 3236, and that was back when she had a crush on the blue hero. No this was something far more painful, she felt tired, confused, lonely, grief, and in pain at the same time. "How could he do this to me?!" she demanded pounding her fist into the ground. "Why did he do it?" Eyes filled tears, and with a gaping hole in her heart and she was not a one-size-fits-all type of girl, she needed someone special. But who?

As if granting her wish and answering her question, in a few minutes she flinched as she suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder. "Mina? What's wrong" asked a genuinely concerned voice she recognized as Tails.

Looking up quickly she saw that kneeling down in front of her at level with her was her old friend Miles "Tails" Prower, he had a worried and concerned look on his face that grew even more when he saw the terrible state she was in. Reacting quickly he removed his hand from her shoulder and embraced her in a comforting hug and began to gently stroke her hair trying to calm her down "Shhh. It's alright, it's okay." he hushed as she cried resting her head on his shoulder as he comforted the poor brokenhearted mongoose. "I'm here, everything's going to be alright, I promise-" "H-how... *sniff* how d-d-do *sniff* y-you kn-kno-know?" She asked both stuttering and interrupting him in between sobs and short gasps of breath.
