A/N: I've done a spell check and have reuploaded the chapters again and added an epilogue.
"3 Years have passed since the defeat of the tyrannical Dr Robotnik" Princess Sally announced to the cheering crowd before her "And our city, Mobotropolice, has risen from the ashes of our enemy and been rebuilt to the splendor glory it truly deserves. We have truly rebuilt our great empire. Our world is back on track and it is you to thank for this monumental achievement. Well done"
With her final words the crowd erupted in an ear-splitting cheer. Sally turned away from the crowd and cast her eye around, looking for him. As she stepped off the stage, she frowned slightly, unable to see him anywhere.
Where are you Sonic? She thought to herself You promised you'd be here.
Disappointed she turned away from his absence to look back at the ecstatic crowd.
She felt someone tugging at her arm, looking down she saw that it was Tails. "What is it?" she asked the now 8 year old fox.
"Sonic says he's sorry he couldn't come" He told her quietly "But he promised that he'd make the reception"
"Okay, thank you for telling me" She thanked the little kid, who then ran off. She smiled as she watched the retreating fox run off.
I guess Sonic couldn't come She thought to herself, slightly disappointed Oh well at least he told me...well...told Tails to tell me.
Tails ran into the Palace to find Sonic asleep on the lounge again. Smiling, he silently crept over to his hero and woke the heor in the only effective method he knew. He yelled at the top of his lungs into the hedgehogs ear.
Sonic jumped "AHH" He yelled surprised by the sudden noise. He crash landed down onto the floor and looked up at a laughing fox "Oh do you think its funny do you?" He told the fox sourly. He jumped at his little fox and knocked him over, sat on him and starting tickling "TICKLE WAR" He yelled. Tails started laughing trying to escape from the torture. Sonic soon stopped and let him catch his breathe.
"Sorry...Sonic..."Tails panted trying to reclaim his breathe "Oh...You forgot...to turn up...to the...Ceremony...I told Sally...that you couldn't come to ...it, but would be at the reception so...you've got like less than half an hour before Sally gets...annoyed"
"Oh thanks Tails. I completely forgot about it, thanks for stalling for me"
"It's no problem...oh yeah Sally will probably want a reason for you skipping it"
"Don't worry I'll think of something. Now come on we don't want to miss the party" He grabbed the little fox and ran with him to their destination.
"Princess Sally"
Oh great another one Sally couldn't believe how many people seemed that they HAD to speak with her. "Princess it's important"
Sally rolled her eyes as the excited bird started rabbiting on about how much of an inspiration she was.
Oh yeah real important. She thought bitterly to herself.
Finally the public stopped bothering her for a minute, giving her a chance to check out the crowd. She smiled when she saw them. Sonic landed next to her...on his head.
"Sorry Sonic" Tails called out as he came down to land.
Sonic shook himself "Ahh it's okay. No harm done. Anyway. I said I'd be here Sally and I am"
Sally rolled her eyes "Yeah, aren't you a bit late"
"He he" Sonic laughter nervously "Yeah about that...I was..."
"Running from his fans" Tails burst out covering for Sonic
"Yeah I was running from some of my hypo fans, you know how they could be" Sonic lied effortlessly.
Sally nodded "I understand. I really feel like running right now. How do you handle it so well?"
Sonic shrugged "I run if they bug me too much. So anyway do you want me to help you escapee?"
Sally nodded smiling "Sure i don't think I really need to stay much longer"
"Well come on princess" Sonic picked her up bridal style and ran.
Tails frowned as he watched them run off. They left me behind again? He shrugged and tried to pretend he didn't feel rejected. Okay...They deserve some alone time. I'll just...err...find something to do He took off and followed them, feeling a bit left out.
Later that night Sonic and Sally lay together under the moon, enjoying each other's presence, high above in a nearby great oak tree a lonely Tails watched the couple as they lay. They are lucky He thought to himself They have both found their true loves, something I will never get...I wish I could though He watched as they lazily started to make out in each other's arms... They soon got up and left, with Tails following.
Tails quietly crept onto the roof of Sally and Sonic's bedroom ot spy on the two. He was respectful to leave if they were going to do anything private, of course. Tails peered through the skylight to watch Sonic and Sally start what ever this 'sex' thing was. As he watched and waited for them to enter.
They soon did, in the middle of an argument and it was about their eavesdropper.
"Look Sal it's just that I think the little guy is getting a mighty bit suspicious Sal" Sonic started trying to change Sally's decision.
"No Sonic. I am not going to teach Tails about the birds and the bees. He's much too young for it. You should know that"
"Yeah but Sal he's already asking questions about it and I can tell he's not gonna take it much longer"
"Look Sonic, I know it would be a good idea to tell him but well..." She trailed off
"But what?" Sonic enquired.
"Well...there...isn't anyone for him. I mean I want to keep him happy like now. If we tell him about it...well...he's going to want to be with someone and..."
"...and there isn't anyone for him" Sonic finished for her "Well...what do we do? Do we play ignorant or do we tell him and hope for the best"
Sally shrugged "I really don't know. I guess the main problem is that there never will be anyone. It's great that we've defeated Robotnik and Mobotropolice is coming back together, but the closest people to his age are those just born or...actually I think it might be me or Bunnie...or there might be a few vixens a month or so younger than me or something though... anyway I'm just saying that whichever he chooses there is at least a seven year gap. I'm not sure what to do about it. It would be wrong to couple him with some one so much older or younger to him, wouldn't it?"
Sally sat down on the bed trying to sort out the problem; Sonic sat beside her and pulled her into a hug. "We're going to have to tell him and...Well...if we wait Tails is just going to try to find out on his own"
"I know but I still don't like the idea of telling him about it only to kill his hope..."
"Well I hate to even suggest it but I guess we could always lie...I don't want to but I guess it'd be best...He wouldn't be disappointed if we do...but I just don't want to lie to him"
Unfortunately for Tails this was the moment in which the skylight he was leaning on decided to make him have an impromptu entry. It gave way under his weigh and Tails felt himself falling.
Sally heard the yell and looked up to see Tails crash to the ground beside her.
"Tails are you alright?" She asked worried about the young fox's well being.
Tails slowly picked himself off the ground "Ouch" that summed it up pretty nicely.
He shook himself and dizzily looked around "Yeah, I'm fine"
"You sure?" Sally asked, her voice filled with concern for the young fox
Tails rolled his eyes "I've fallen further. I do fly remember. That was noting"
"Oh…well, what did you hear?" Sally asked him
Tails feigned innocence, it would be best if he didn't actually admit he was eavesdropping. Sally never acted on a hunch.
"Not much...you were just arguing about me...did I do something wrong?"
Sonic rolled his eyes. "Nah bro, Sally and me were just wondering whether you were ready to learn about some adult things"
Tails nodded "Oh...okay...and am I?"
Sonic shook his head "Not just yet...maybe later okay"
Disappointed, Tails frowned. "Why not?"
Sonic shrugged "Well…we…um" Sonic wasn't sure how to explain it.
Tails sighed "Okay. Okay. I guess you aren't going to tell me. I guess I'll have to wait" Tails realised he wasn't going to get anything out of them so he left the two to discuss.
