Strangely enough, I had a dream about this so it has to be written, I might change this from a One-Shot to a few chapters but it all depends AFTER I finished my other story. About the Sonic team and Klonoa.
I do not own the characters mentioned. They belong to SEGA and co.

Someone To Return To
About three years ago I was taken away from this place, and now I'm finally home… if I can still call it that. I know that I've changed and things will never be the same again… I wonder just how much things have changed since that fateful day. I looked at my house it's fallen apart, I can see rust and moss all over the walls. I felt discouraged at such site.
Three years ago, GUN took me away from my life as Miles "Tails" Prower. I can still remember every bit of detail; it was in the middle of a storm sometime during the night. It was a harsh one and the winds broke down my windows; it blew apart my Blueprints and trashed the insides of my house. I was just there around the side of my bed curled up in fear; I have moved it in a part of the room where whatever sturdy part of the roof could block the charging rain gushing out of my broken bedroom window.
There was nothing but noise, water, winds and darkness, the occurring thunder was my only source of light, for me it was the scariest event of my dear life.
Then they came, a squadron of GUN soldiers whom I thought were there to help me. Without question I thankfully came with them to their vehicle and I fell asleep inside soaking wet, not even caring that I was the only one there, not even noticing that I was being ripped apart from my friends.
I woke up caged being brought in a facility filled with soldiers and scientists both the personnel and the forced. They forced me to invent the unspeakable for them and each invention becoming more and more dangerous. And although the treatment I received between sessions were the best, I never saw the outside… until the day I escaped.
Everyday I wished for something to happen yet to no avail. There was no door way out except through a huge mine field. Security was top notch and top secret. Once I saw Rouge and I yelled for help. Instantly she tried to get me out not caring about asking questions and yet we were captured in the end.
Her memories of those events were deleted by my own invention as she struggled yelling "I'm sorry" to me.
In the eyes of my loved ones I was dead. They thought I was lost and flooded away in the storm, well at least that's what I was told, and that hurts me much more than knowing that my inventions would have been use to destroy lives.
My last invention was a fighter plane that clearly goes faster than Sonic. They never knew that it didn't have any weapons at all. Somehow I convinced them that I should test run it. And the moment I got on, I dashed out of the place not even looking back
I hid it somewhere in the forest of Mystic Ruins and now I brace myself to see whatever I may find behind that door. I opened it up and to my surprise it wasn't as bad as I thought, although a closer look reveals that… someone has been taking care of it in my absence. I walked in and in the corner of the living room I saw a picture of me set up like an altar.
Amazed I came in nearer and I held it nearer to myself, the altar, made up of fine wood had unlit candles and wilted flowers scattered on the sides of where my picture was. There was an inscription and I read it... and I really wish I didn't…
MILES "TAILS" PROWER
Born: 11/24/1992
Died: 03/14/2004
Gifted Inventor
True Friend
A Hero
GONE BUT NOT
FORGOTTEN
So they really think I'm dead? Do I even have someone to return to? A lot more negative thoughts flashed in my mind when I suddenly heard a voice behind me.
"Tails?"
I was shocked to see who the owner of the voice was; for it was a young female … there was a bouquet of fresh flowers by her feet similar to the ones on my altar. She must have dropped it when she saw me standing here. And then I thought was she Ms. Vanilla? No wait, she's much younger…
"You're Cream right?"
Tears fell from her eyes and she ran to me wrapping me in a hug, I blushed but I know that shrugging her off was not an option. I placed my hands around her and I just stood there feeling content for the first time in a long while. In three years I've learned to stop and hold my tears, but I guess I forgot.
"Where have you been? We thought you were dead!" and she just cried on my chest fur uncontrollably.
"C… Cream… I… well…"
"Do you know how much I've missed you?"
I just stood there as we embraced each other, I was speechless yet I felt content. For the first time in three years I couldn't find anything to say. I could build the deadliest weapons yet I can't even accomplish such a simple task.
"It's not like I didn't want to… It's well…"
"Don't you love me?"
Yes, I remember the day before I was lost; we were walking by the Chao Garden side by side. When it was sunset I told her what I felt… she never answered back that day and we walked the way home in silence as the orange sky started to populate with black clouds.
"You know I do… please don't cry."
I cupped her face and wiped her tears away. Things will never be the same again and GUN would probably search for me but, I still have friends and even though they have probably moved on… I know that they'll help me. If not then at least I still have Cream.
I guess I'll be catching up with the others once I've settled with the changes. I don't know what will happen in the future but I hope to forge it with help from my friends, my past will haunt me but I'll overcome it and look for the future.
And that day… we shared much more than a kiss… and I know that now; I have someone to return to…

The End? Maybe….
