Splee! This is my first fanfiction, so it probably won't be the best thing ever… But I tried, 'kay?

Sonic and company are © Saga (or the Sonic Team, whichever.) and I take no credit whatsoever for their creation.

…and yes, Tails DOES pay his bills. How?.. Nobody really knows. He just does, 'kay?

Chapter Uno

The Letter

-------------------------

"Congratulations lucky winner(s)!

You've just won from your entry in the latest Lucky Lotto Draw, A pre-paid trip to the newest and coolest place to hit the Ice Cap Mountains, "The Glacier Ski and Snowboard Resort" for two weeks! To collect this spectacular prize, please head over to the following location tomorrow at noon, where a private helicopter shall be waiting to bring you and three friends to your DREAM VACATION DESTINATION! ..."

"..."

A certain twin tailed kitsune, who had rose to fame as the world's fastest hedgehog's second fiddle, read this message over and over, confusion written all over his face. "...Why can't I remember entering anything of this type?.." he pondered, scratching the back of his ear with a gloved hand.

He had found this message in a letter addressed to him on the doorstep of his workshop that morning, and naturally, since he didn't exactly have a mail box, he figured it was his electric bill. So he was quite surprised to find this brightly colored sheet of paper inside the plain, almost professional looking letter.

Well, he supposed he and his friends had something like this coming. After all, with all the hectic adventuring and defending the world from the wrath of Eggman and any assistants he might hire to defeat them… They needed a well deserved break. Especially Sonic. Perhaps he'd ask him and Knuckles to go with him. They might enjoy it.

"NO! I don't have time to take a break… You know perfectly well I have things to do other then flounce around in the snow..."

"Aw, come on Knuckles! It'll be fun!"

"I said no!"

The young orange fox pouted at his friend's reply. Why did the Echidna have to be so… so… Difficult? Knuckles simply frowned. "Look, if I didn't have to guard the Master Emerald, I might have gone. Go find Sonic and have fun with him, okay?"

So, realizing he'd get nowhere with this, Tails headed off to the bullet train to Station Square to ask Sonic. All the while mumbling something about how Knuckles never guarded the Master Emerald when SONIC was around…

"Sure, buddy! I'd be happy to go with ya… I have time to kill."

"Really?"

"Sure!"

Well, of coarse, I was expecting something along the lines of that answer from my best friend, as I showed him the letter. But I had to check to make sure. Then, SHE came along. A certain pink stalker of my blue hedgehog friend accompanied by everyone's favorite polite little rabbit and her beloved bow-tie wearing chao.

"SOOOONIIIC!"

"Eep!.. Er… Hi, Amy…"

I facepalmed at my friend's reply to the creature's call. By the looks of it, he was about to complete his usual routine- Divert her attention and run. Amy just about shoved me out of the way on accident to get to Sonic, and rabbit and chao joined our little group shortly after. The rabbit looked at the two of us and bowed her head slightly.

"Good day Mister Sonic. Tails."

"Hi Cream."

Sonic probably would have greeted her as well if Amy wasn't playing twenty questions with him. She then noticed the letter in my hand, which for some reason activated a groan from Sonic.

"Hey, Tails?... What's this?"

"I found it on my doorstep this morning.."

I replied, allowing her to take the letter from my hands and start reading it. I watched her face light up with a small blush as she did so.

"Oooh! A trip to a ski resort for two weeks! Can I go? Is Sonic going?"

"….. Why not. Second, ask him yourself."

Sonic twitched as he was suddenly brought into the conversation.

"Er… Yeah…"

Big mistake. Amy let off a fangirlish squeal loud enough to wake the dead, causing everyone around us, including me, to cover their ears. She pretty much dropped the letter on the salted sidewalk, making me dive for it as it started to blow towards the street. She then gave Sonic a power hug… This was one of the situations where I was glad I wasn't him.

"OOOH! Two weeks to spend together, maybe alone! How romantic!"

"Erk!..."

I watched this scene, scratching the back of my head, when I noticed Cream was still standing there, smiling at the two hedgehogs. Probably, she was happy for Amy. I'd feel slightly guilty if she was left alone here for the week, so, I did what any decent person would do.

"Cream, would you like to go too?"

"Certainly! I'd have to ask my mother, though."

"Fair enough."

I hadn't noticed as the letter blew out of my hands and out into the nearby alleyway- All of us were too busy celebrating our good fortune… as well as trying to remove Amy from Sonic's neck. He was starting to turn purple.

From within the alleyway, another picked up my letter and simply smirked.

-To be continued?...-

Hope you enjoyed the first chapter, amigos. :3 Dispite the fact that it was a bit boring.

The slightly more exiting second chapter shall be coming soon!
