Chapter 2
2 Tails, 1 Eye
Shaking her head, Mina puts her hand on Tails' cheek and looks into his sky blue eye, "Give him time, he'll come around." Mina reassures him. Looking into Mina's spring green eyes with his good eye, he saw that she had faith that Ash would get over her, he just would need time. "Even with one eye…" Mina thought with a smile "…he's still so handsome, and cute. I still remember when he lost his eye to save me."
(Flashback 3 years ago)
Date: day 70 (March 11th) year 3243 P.X.E
Age: Tails = 18. Mina = 22. Ash = 23. Antoine = 26. Bunnie = 24. Geoffrey = 23. Hershey = 22. Amy: 22.
In the middle of the badlands, there is a raging battle between two small armies belonging to the Acorns and the Prowers, both sides never ceasing to stop, and neither side winning or losing, but still both armies suffering losses.
On the edge of a small cliff overlooking the battlefield, stood crouching the twin-tailed vulpine himself, Miles Prower, but more commonly known as Tails. Next to the fox were his friends: Antoine D'Coolette, Bunnie D'Coolette, Mina Mongoose, and Mina's ex-boyfriend Ash. Watching the battlefield, Tails peered over to the other side of the battlefield and saw the opposing army's leaders. A scowl appeared on his face as he recognized them, "Tails?" Mina asked concerned about the grim expression on his face "What's wrong?" "Mina, I don't think you should…" Ash was saying before he was interrupted "I recognize their leaders, Geoffrey, Hershey, and Amy." Tails told her.
"Oh, boy." Bunnie said looking nervously at her husband, "Zat skunk!" Antoine shouted, he holds a bit of a grudge against Geoffrey for stealing his father's idea for a secret rebel group. Putting her hand on his shoulder to calm him, "Now hold on hun, I don't wan' yo' goin' and actin' like Patch." Bunnie said concerned for him. Looking into his wife's eyes "Sorry, moi forgot how much he almost ruined our relationship." Antoine said.
Tails stood up and straightening his jacket, he turned around facing his allies, "Well then, let's do it, to it!" Tails said with a grin. He leapt backwards into the air off the edge, and doing a backflip in mid-air he landed on the grey dusty ground of the battlefield, and looking up he noticed his long-time friends had followed him. Looking forward he rushed into battle.
(5 minutes later)
"Hey, Skunk! You're going to regret siding with the Acorns when I'm through with you!" Ash yelled as he engaged Geoffrey in battle, bringing his sword above his head he swung down the blade at Geoffrey. Jumping out of the way, Geoffrey loaded his arm crossbow, aimed at Ash and fired. "Aaargh!" Ash cried as it hit him in the left shoulder. Looking at his shoulder "You'll pay for that!" Ash shouted enraged, "Oh, yeah. Sure I will mate!" Geoffrey mocked the mongoose. Ash charged at him again.
Not too far away Tails was swinging his scythe at the enemies surrounding him, making sure that he doesn't hit one of his allies. Looking around he realized the forces he was surrounded by were retreating. Turning around he saw Mina fighting five people at once. He thought about helping her, but he knew that she could handle herself.
Trusting his better judgement, Tails clicked a button on his scythe's handle and it transformed into a longbow. Reaching into the quiver he had strapped to his back, he pulled out an arrow and casted a spell making the arrow head freezing cold. Bringing the arrow into place, Tails pulled back on the bow's wire he brought the bow up, aimed and released the arrow. The arrow flew through the air and landed on the ground in-front of a group of enemies. Suddenly out of the arrow came a bunch of ice spikes sticking out of the arrow head and piercing the enemies.
"I guess all that training finally paid off." Mina laughed over his ear piece, "Yes. It sure has." Tails said with a smirk on his place. He repeated this action five more times, before he noticed Ash and Geoffrey were locked in combat.
"Hrrg!" Geoffrey cried as Ash delivered a kick to into Geoffrey's stomach, "Geoffrey! No!" a familiar voice cried, turning around Ash saw Hershey running up to him with her gun in hand and fired it at Ash hitting him in the same shoulder Geoffrey shot earlier.
He grunted as he was shot Ash steadied himself up and glared at Hershey and took out his dagger and threw at her. The blade made contact with Hershey's knee. She cried out as the blade dung itself into her skin.
"No! Hershey!" Geoffrey cried out to his wife with a worried expression on his face, which quickly changed when he looked to his right and saw Mina, and remember that she was Ash's girlfriend. Grinning "Hey, Ash!" He shouted, lifted his arm and pointed his loaded arm crossbow at Mina and says "It's such a pity when the love of your life dies!" he fires.
When Tails looked over at Ash and Geoffrey again, he saw that Geoffrey was pointing his arm crossbow in Mina's direction, he knew what had to be done. He ran towards Mina. "Please don't let me be too late." Tails thought with fear.
When he heard the "twang!" of the arm crossbow and suddenly he moved at a speed that could rival only that of Sonic's. Arriving just in time he leapt in the way of the bolt.
"Thunk!" Mina turned around at the sound and saw Tails fall to the ground, she ran to his side and turned him over onto his back and saw that his right eye was scarred. "MILES!" Mina cried.
Tails opened his eyes at the sound of his name, but could see only everything as a blur from his right eye he blinked it a few times, but it wouldn't go back to normal vision, then he realized that he has lost sight in his right eye when he felt blood running down his face. Wiping the blood off his face he looked at Mina with his good eye, "Are you alright?" Tails asked much more worried about her than himself as he wrapped a bit of fabric around his head to cover his injured eye.
With a sigh of relief she looked into his eye "Yes, but your eye…" Mina said trying to explain, but realizing that this wasn't the time or place since they could be attacked at any moment. She lifted him into her arms, "Hold on tight!" Mina told him and ran away from the battlefield.
Once they were a safe distance away, Mina gently set Tails down on the ground. "Tails?" "Yes Mina?" "Why'd you do it?" Mina asked him, he gave her a puzzled look "I mean. Why'd you jump in the way of the bolt?" looking away from her eyes and towards the ground, he took a deep breath and let it out as he tried "I-I did it be-because I…" Tails stuttered, clasping and unclasping his hands, "Yes?" Mina asked puzzled by how nervous he was acting around her. He had never been nervous when talking to her around the others. Putting her hand on his knee, which stopped the fidgeting immediately.
"Tails, it's alright I promise this just between you and me." Mina said trying to figure out what the young fox was trying to say.
With a heavy sigh, he looked into her beautiful spring-green eyes and tried again "Mina, I did it because I l-l-love you Mina." Tails said. Mina was stunned by this response, "Sure I have always thought he was handsome and a little cute too," Mina thought, "but I never knew that he had feelings for me, I had always thought that I…"
"I'm sorry, I-I shouldn't have said any…" Tails was cut off as Mina embraced him into a hug. "I love you too Tails," Mina whispered in his ear compassionately as tears of joy fell from her eyes, "I don't know why, but I always have."

Present day: day 313 (November 9th) year 3246
Ages: Tails = 21. Mina = 25. Ash = 26.
"Mina, are you alright?" Tails asked genuinely concerned for his girlfriend.
Mina snapping back to reality, "Hmm? Yes Tails?" Mina responded smiling.
"Day dreaming again Mina?" Ash asked snickering to himself.
Tails scowled at Ash. "Hey." Mina said to Tails holding his cheek in her hand, "Everything is fine. Just ignore him." She pecked Tails on the cheek to reassure him that everything's going to be alright. Tails blushed and smiled at her.
Suddenly they were interrupted by the sound of the Telecom notifying them that there is an incoming transmission.
