Hey all! Arrie here! I started working on this fic today in class because I was super upset with the lack of super fluffy Tails x Cosmo fanfictions! Keep in mind, mine probably isn't going to be super fluffy in the beginning but trust me, things will work out for our star-crossed lovers! I also don't happen to have a plot worked out quite yet…. So I'm winging it! ^. ^ Oh gosh, okay, I won't keep up anymore of your time, Time to get on with Cosmo's Rose, my first legitimate fanfic here!

By the way, this /|\/|\/|\/|\/|\/|\/|\/|\/|\/|\/|\ will mean that it's later on/in a different place. (Woo tipis.)

"What was her name?"

"C-Cosmo, sir…"

"She was special to you, yes?" The man asked while skimming through the thick manila folder that he had pulled from his file cabinet earlier. It held a lot of information about the young, two-tailed Kitsune Mobian that sat before him. Most of the information the man already knew. Such as the patient's name which was Miles 'Tails' Prower, son of Rosemary and Amadeus Prower, wealthy land owners and past war veterans. He was also nephew to Merlin Prower, a mighty wizard. Tail's parents were usually away on business trips and Merlin just sort of roamed about. It was pitiful, seeing the Kitsune practically all alone if it weren't for his friends taking care of him. Many people had already thought about sending the boy to Happy Acres, a mental hospital just out-of-town. But even though Tail's therapist Dr. Willobee, an owl Mobian, had seen him for nearly 3 years now with only slight progress, the wise owl just couldn't bring himself to sign the necessary paperwork. He was very persistent he supposed. "Tails, I need for you to answer the question."

The Kit startled, "U-uh yes, sir. She was… no, is… very special to me." He stared down at his red shoes, lightly scuffing them on the carpet while trying to stop the tears from spilling out of his eyes. This only lasted for a short while before Tails broke out into jagged sobs and wails. "W-why!? It's so unfair!" He pounded one of the throw pillows on the green sofa and continued to sob loudly. "I-I should have… I should have found some other way! Any other w-way than what I…I… Anything than what I did to her!" He curled himself up into a fetal position around the pillow, shaking and muttering to himself. "Why, Cosmo? Why did you ask me to fire…?"

Dr. Willobee was well used to this reaction. In the past years, getting Tails to break through this mental wall and talk about the trauma that occurred when he was only 11 was huge challenge. The psychiatrist understood the basic gist of the memory from what Tail's friend, Sonic had told him. It was a sad tale and definitely not something kids that young of age should have had to go through… Especially Tails. Seeing a loved one die, let alone being the one to end their life…. Willobee wouldn't have wished that upon anyone, especially not a child. He was actually shocked that Tails didn't have any more serious problems. All that Willobee could see was depression and post-traumatic stress. The kid was strong if he was able to get away with that.

The owl also knew that pushing Tails when he got to this stage was just a bad idea, so he sat in his desk chair and waited for the hysterical fox to calm down, handing him tissues all the while.

When Tails had finally stopped crying, it was well past 5 o'clock Mobian time. Feeling as though he was exhausting his time with Dr. Willobee, Tails said his goodbyes, scheduled his next appointment, and left the office. Tails didn't really feel like flying, so the walk home was long. The fox enjoyed it though; it gave him thinking time and a sense of peace for once. While he walked through town as dusk set, he thought a lot. He thought about the past 3 years, he thought about how nice people were to him, he thought about the person he'd become... The person that Cosmo wouldn't approve of…

Tails was at the ¾ mark of his walk home, as he looked out towards the empty grassland by his house, his face dropped. His parent's had bought him that land when he was younger so Tails could have an open expanse to fly his planes in. However, Tails hadn't done much flying-let alone building-any planes since… He stopped himself. No! Don't cry. She wouldn't want that. Then again, Cosmo wouldn't really want any of the things Tails did now… or lack thereof. As stated before, he didn't fly much anymore. Every time he tried to build something, he'd get frustrated and stop. His friends had to pretty much force him to start eating again, saying that if he didn't, they'd let Amy beat Tails with her spontaneously appearing Piko-Piko hammers. To which tails had responded with an, "It would feel a lot better than the pain I'm going through now."

Speaking of his friends, Tails hadn't really seen them either. They all used to stop by his house every day when they first got back to Mobius, but then slowly, one by one, they all stopped coming by. Sonic still stopped by to check on him, and Cream had started coming over a lot more often. The two had actually gotten close since Cosmo's death, but Tails knew in his heart that he could never love another girl the same way that he loved Cosmo. Cream was very pretty and nice and would make any guy lucky; however she just… wasn't Cosmo. Besides, Cream and he had been friends since they were 2, Tails didn't think he'd be able to risk that bond; even if he had wanted to.

Tails got to his house, with thoughts of Cream far from his mind, at about half passed 6. He rushed over to his backyard, stopping by the shed to pick up his watering can and to fill it up, and into the greenhouse he had managed to build. The Kit stopped inside the door and smiled softly.

The greenhouse was shaped like a dome with a ceiling that reached up to 12 feet in the middle. Flowers and shrubs lined every wall and vines climbed high. Plant boxes hung from the sides and the air smelled beautifully. The floor of the greenhouse was that of flattened rocks shaped in a circular pattern coming from the centerpiece of the entire room. A giant, pink, budding rose.

The rose was about 7 feet in height and had a darkish pink bud that was still closed tightly. Even after 3 years it still hadn't bloomed…

Tails began watering all the plants, having to refill the watering can 4 times. He wondered why he didn't just put a sprinkler in here, he figured that the process he did now made him feel closer to Cosmo. Tails knew it was silly, but it was how he felt about it.

When finished, Tails walked over to the rose and the plaque in front of it. It read, "Here lays Cosmo's Rose. Cosmo was a Seedrian girl who lost everything, her entire race was annihilated and she was the last of her kind. Cosmo was a great hero who saved the galaxy and willingly gave up her life to do so. If it were not for her, all of us would cease to exist. When she died, she left a seed. The plant you see before you is the last thing our beloved Seedrian left us. May she ever be remembered as a hero, a princess, and the best friend one could ever ask for."

Tears welled up in Tail's eyes once again, it had taken him a week to be able to write this and even now he felt as though it didn't express just how important and amazing she was. He kneeled down in front of the plaque and opened up the cabinet compartment in the pedestal which held a mini shrine in Cosmo's memory. Tails grabbed the small lighter he kept on the side and lit the small green candles. While he was doing so he made a mental note that the wax was dangerously low and that he needed to buy more. He stared at the pictures he had put in the shrine. There were 3 in total: one of all of their friends including Shadow, one of Cosmo smiling, and the last one of Tails and Cosmo together. He gently touched the picture frame of the 3rd picture and sighed. The picture had been taken by Vector during the thank-you party that Cosmo had thrown for everyone on the Blue Typhoon. Tails looked horribly awkward in the picture, as per usual since he wasn't very photogenic… but Cosmo… Her smile could have lit up all of Mobius. She was always so beautiful, inside and out… Tails didn't even know what had made him lucky enough to be able to know such a beautiful person. The fox laughed a little as he reminisced to the moment during the party when Cosmo and he had watched the stars and he had called her beautiful. She had thought he was talking about the stars, but the stars failed in comparison to her.

I could have told you how I felt then, but I was too scared… his face dropped. I'm sorry I'm such a coward, Cosmo. I'm sorry I wasn't able to tell you how I felt until it was far too late… Tails looked at the shrine one last time before shutting the compartment. As he was leaving the greenhouse, watering can in tow, he looked back at the large budding flower in the center.

"I love you, Cosmo. Goodnight."

And with that, Tails had left the greenhouse. He didn't get to see the rose he cared for so much begin to glow softly.

Sonic was honestly used to sketchy characters, heck, he dealt with Shadow often! However the character that had shown up at his house was just straight up suspicious. If being clad in a dark robe that covered your entire face and body isn't a warning sign, then he didn't know what was.

"Uh… hello?" Sonic said after opening the door and looking the figure up and down a couple of times. "Can I help you?"

The figure stepped past Sonic and into the house. "It's more of a 'can I help YOU'? I've heard many things about you Sonic the Hedgehog." Sonic, still flabbergasted by the fact that someone just marched right into his house without asking was only able to raise an eyebrow. "What would you say if I told you I could bring back happiness to someone near and dear to you?" Sonic raised the other eyebrow.

"My friends and I are quite happy… Unless you're talking about-"

"Miles Prower? Yes, I am talking about him." The figure's soft voice butted in.

Sonic scoffed. This guy is insane! If you wanted to make Tails happy again, you'd have to-

"Bring Cosmo back to life? Yes. I do know, Sonic the Hedgehog. It's what I plan to do." Sonic was flabbergasted for the 2nd time that night.

"How did you…"

"Read your mind? I can just do that."

"Stop that!" Sonic's eyebrows knitted together in confusion. "Okay… start from the top please. Who are you?"

The figure looked away towards the ground and spoke again whilst taking off the hood that shrouded their face. "My name is Myrica."

And thus, Sonic was flabbergasted for a 3rd time that night.

Woo! Finally finished! First chapter is up! You guys have no idea how proud of myself I am for this... Just ohmygosh. Please tell me you guys are just as proud! ^.^ Anyways, please let me know what you think so far, who's this Myrica? And what does she mean by bringing back Cosmo? Find out next time! :D

Please R&R, I'll give you cookies... somehow.
