Okay, let's start out slowww.
Since Tails is so young, he probably won't make it to the party, which is why I started with him. Don't want to spoil anything… Oh, review!
Shadesoflightanddark: Well, I'm hoping I can muster up some humor… As much as I can make, actually… maybe it should be under general… well, we'll just have to see. Thanks for the review!
Ch. 2, Miles "Tails" Prower
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Tails' First Person
Amy called me first, so she said. It was around 9 o'clock. Luckily, I was tinkering with the brand new, Tsunami. Heh, I have a thing for storm names.
Well, let's not go into that.
My day started off normal… come to think of it, it ended kind of normally.
I meet up with Shadow, half way to the beach. He said something about waiting for Rouge. I decided he had it covered, so I continued along the way.
I felt so proud in my orange swim trunks. I designed them myself, allowing both of my tails to stick out comfortably. I had also been wearing my sunglasses. Today was gonna be great… unless if Sonic got drunk again. That was kinda…
FlashbackSonic walked up to Amy and started to slowly grope her. "Come on Ames, let's go around, for old times sake."
Amy, almost as equally drunk simply patted him on the head. "Not tonight Knuckles." She said. Sonic was too drunk to notice.
End FlashbackNow that I think about it… Everyone but Shadow got drunk last year. Even Espio lightened up. Drunken Chameleons are funny.
As I approached the beach, I could see Sonic, Amy and Knuckles, laughing about something. I ran over to the group, and said hi. They all greeted me back.
"Now" Amy started. "All we need is Shadow, Rouge, Silver, and Blaze."
"Yeah, we'll wait here until they come here." Sonic told me. Knuckles then snickered. "What's up with you knuckle-head?"
"Sonic, I just wanted to give you a small gift from all of Emerald Town."
"Station Square"
"Whatever" Knuckles continued to chuckle. Just what was he up to? He seemed to take out something from one of his pockets. "Here, you might need this." Knuckles managed to choke out, as he gave Sonic what looked like…
"Goggles and a snorkel!" Sonic yelled. Amy and Knuckles started to crack up. Even I began to laugh hysterically. Sonic, was not as amused. In fact, I think he was sick to his stomach…
Blaze and Silver came together a little later. They seemed to be arguing about how to swim. Blaze looked really nervous. Silver seemed to be even more ready than both Sonic and Blaze together.
Shadow and Rouge came over a little after Silver and Blaze. Rouge was talking Shadow was… well, what was the term Sonic called him… I forget. Emotionless?
But at the sight of Sonic's new "gear" he jumped right up.
When we got to the beach, we all kinda went our separate ways. Silver and Sonic went to get there "swimming lessons" with Knuckles, and Amy, Rouge, and even Shadow went to go boogie-boarding. [Shadow's board was kinda scary though.
This left me and Blaze with each other. I felt awkward with her, since I never really played with her before, but we got along great.
We decided we should play in the sand. She was amazing how many sandcastles she could make. Her artistic styles of seashells was also very impressive.
As me and her hung out more, we managed to get a few things out of each other. Favorite foods, color, and even whom we liked. I truthfully told her no one. I guess she likes Silver.
After that, I finally managed to convince her to go into the water.
"Are you positive it's safe in here?" She asked me cautiously. I've never seen her so… scared? No, she was more unsure.
"Yes, I'm positive. If there was, Shadow would have taken care of it." I joked, pointing to the now sleeping Shadow. She simply nodded, as I grabbed her hand, and led her into the water. At that point, Silver walked over to us.
"Finally, I learnt how to swim, and then everyone gets out. Mind if I join you too?"
At this, I felt Blaze's hand to shake slightly. I looked over at her. Was she cold? Or…
"Yes, I will feel safer if you are with me." Blaze managed to say. She said it calmly, like she wasn't shaking. It doesn't look like Silver noticed, as he smiled, and gave Blaze the thumbs up. She managed to smile slightly, which made me happy.
She managed to master swimming rather quickly. Even if she was a cat, and pyrokinetic, she was still rather swift at swimming.
"With you and Silver teaching me, I'm not surprised I managed to learn." She had told me later, as we were drying off.
Silver managed to swim very swiftly as well. "Knuckles was impressed" Silver stated, also impressed with himself.
The rest of the day went fast, as I fell asleep on my towel. As far as I know, Blaze and Silver were also asleep. I don't know what the rest of the group was doing, but it was a nice nap.
My dream was a little fuzzy though… something about giant bananas being taken over by Shadow and Blaze I think… I need to stop eating Amy's sandwiches…
I was shook awake by a firm hand, and an even firmer voice. "Tails, wake up, the party is now starting" Shadow said, still trying to shake me awake. After I mumbled something about Shadow finally taking over the world, Shadow lifted a brow. I opened my eyes widely, realizing what I said. Shadow shock it off though, and zoomed off. I obediently followed.
The party, as awesome as it was, was sort-lived for me. As Rouge and Amy broke out the alcoholic drinks, Shadow told me it was time to go home, as he put a hand on my back, and began to escort me home.
"So, Shadow, did you have fun today?" I asked. Shadow looked down at me. I think this was the first time he ever saw me.
"I suppose I did. Amy does know what day to throw a day off." Shadow simply said.
"Why didn't you just Chaos Control me home?" I asked, attempting to strike a conversation, after a long pause.
"Rouge told me to take as much time as I could." Shadow answered, his tone dropping a bit. It was almost sad…
"Maybe she's planning a surprise for you!" I said excitedly, trying to raise his spirits. Shadow looked at me, and gave me a small smirk.
"No wonder Sonic calls you smart." He said, still smirking. I beamed at him
"Well, this is my stop." I said, opening the door to my lab. "Thanks again Shadow." I said, waving good-bye at him. Shadow mumbled a 'your welcome', and then, with a small wave of the hand, walked off.
