Chapter Two: Headstrong

Tails pulled into his own driveway as he turned off the engine, taking the key out of the ignition. He punched the dash in front of him several times until he heard something snap. Pulling away, he noticed a hairline crack on the dash, causing him to feel even more anger burning deep within his frame. He growled under his breath as he took off his seatbelt and got out of the driver side of his car. The sound of him slamming the car door echoed throughout the quiet town, giving any close residence a slight taste of his rage. Storming his way to the front door, his anger continued to course through his veins as he kicked the door open; aggressively walked in and started trashing his own place. From his coffee table to his sofa, they all managed to meet the other sides of the room before he took off the garage, mumbling under his breath, "I knew it… I fucking knew it… he never changed. After all those years….after having those children… HE'S STILL THE SAME GLOATING SON A BITCH HOG!"

He kicked the door to the garage open as a huge gust of wind began to circle, forming a large tornado within the garage and started to destroying the place; more preferably the newspaper clippings. He was in shocked before falling to his knees in disbelief, he noticed something that was unknown to him; or at least he thought it was. Looking down towards his hands while his heart raced, noticing a lightly glowing blue aura forming around them. He continued questioning it as he whispered to himself, "Is this… magic?"

For a person who only thinks in a scientific way, this was rather hard for him to even comprehend. Once he started to calm down, the blue aura slowly diminished, as if it wasn't there in the first place. He shook his head a few times before slamming his hands to the ground. All of these actions, these magical occurrences just wasn't summing up. A soft sigh surpassed his lips as he placed his head in his hands, letting a few tears stream down his cheeks. For some reason, he felt some of his pain, that he held for over a decade, was been lifted off his shoulders. He felt relieved yet still pressured, pressured with ambition to be something more. Finally in a calm state, he began to backtrack himself, wondering what he had forgotten at the so called 'party'. From there, it finally hit him as he let the one word utter from his lips, "Cream…"

He felt his heart sink to the pit of his stomach as he carefully got back up on his feet, dusting off any particles from his jeans and headed towards the phone. The sound of crumpled paper being flattened by each step that he takes lingered in his ear drums as he reached for the phone. To his surprise, before he could even dial a single number, the phone rang as it made him jump with fright. He answered the call with a slight scared tone, "Um… h-hello?"

"Tails? Tails! Are you okay? Oh thank goodness you've answered… I was worried," spoke Cream on the other end, a voice that he truly wanted to hear.

He sighed softly as he replied, "I'm fine… I uh… managed to calm down when I got inside my home." He paused, "But anyway… I'm truly sorry for leaving you behind like that."

"No no, it's okay! I understand that you were upset with Sonic's actions. No need to apologize to me. Knuckles was surprisingly nice enough to take me back to my college dorm." She stated in a calm tone.

"Knuckles is a cool dude. He maybe stubborn in most cases, but he knows how to be a gentleman." He spoke as took a deep breath, "but anyway… I still feel bad for leaving you like that. I do wish to make it up to you."

There was a short pause before Cream would reply, "Well, I don't have classes tomorrow until three so…I'm sure we can do something to pass the time!"

A soft smile appeared upon his face as felt his heart warm up with joy. He chuckled a few times in a happier tone as he spoke, "Very well, I shall see you tomorrow around nine thirty?"

The sound of her giggle on the other end of the line made his heart beat a little faster as she replied, "Nine thirty is fine. I'll see you tomorrow. Night Tails."

"Night Cream." He said before he hung up the phone and clapped his hands once, feeling rather excited for getting this chance to make up to her.

After a long terrible night, he was finally relieved that something good happened as he headed back into his home; going up the stairs to get some sleep. While walking, he couldn't help but to question on what happened earlier. He looked down at his hands as he reached to the last step, getting a flashback of seeing his hands glowing in a light blue aura. His eyes narrowed a bit as he questioned within his mind, "It can't be magic….but if it is… then how did I even get that power or any power for that matter. It just doesn't make sense. Let's just hope that it's just a one-time thing. I don't even want to imagine what everyone would think of this. Heh. A scientific fox somehow magically has powers. Just sounds like an oxymoron to me. But…what if it is possible…?...I can't let anyone know of this just yet…not even Cream."

~( 9:30 That Morning)~

Arriving at the college on time, Tails pulled off to the side and waited. He wore a blue and white plaid dress shirt with a white tank top underneath, a pair of a light blue jeans and his usual sneakers. He did what he can to look at his best for Cream as his thoughts began to wander. He looked up at the sky as he pondered, wondering where to take Cream for the day. His left ear twitched as heard the sounds of heels tapping upon the concrete sidewalk, looking over to find Cream dressing beautifully once again. She wore a forest green short dress with a pair of black high heels. Around her neck was a silver necklace chain with a pendant in a shape of a water lily. Her ears were let down, giving her the whole natural look as her hazel hues looked over at Tails; a smile appeared upon her face. Tails couldn't help but whistle at her, "Wow Cream, never thought that green would look good on you."

A few sets of giggles surpassed her lips while a light blush appeared on her cheeks, "Thank you…I thought it would be nice for a little change."

He chuckled softly as he remarked, "Nothing wrong about that," he paused as he opened the passenger side door while staying on his side, "Hop in, I'll take you anywhere you wish to see."

"Ooo… can we go to the Angel Island Garden? I've heard that the rarest of roses are now in full bloom." She asked as she gracefully got into the car, the scent of lilies lingered upon his nose.

With respect, he closed the door for her and then straightened himself before smirking, "Of course, whatever a fine lady wishes. And how about after that we get a coffee to go?"

"Sounds like a plan, Tails." She spoke in a soft tone a darker shade of red appeared on her cheeks.

"Cream please… I'm getting tired of that nickname." He stated before placing a hand upon her cheek, "Call me Miles."

From his action, he left her speechless and with the darkest blush upon her cheeks. He couldn't help but softly laugh at her before pulling out of his parking spot and driving themselves off to their next destination; The Angel Island Garden. Before he could even zone out awhile driving, he heard Cream speak up in a curious tone, asking, "So… what exactly happened when you got home?"

A sweat drop formed above his brow as he gulped, unsure what to tell her; especially the magical occurrences that sooner after destroying his own living room. He slowly glanced at her while responding in a simple way possible, "I just… found a way to let out my anger is all. Nothing too drastic happened." He paused a little before coming to a stop at a streetlight, waiting to be able to turn to his right, "What about Sonic? Did he continue to gloat about his success?"

"Uh…well…not exactly." She stated as she looked down at her lap, "You see…after you left he told everyone to leave. He seemed rather depressed, your words truly affected him, Ta-…I mean… Miles."

"Well good" he spoke while turning right, continuing to drive on to their destination, "He needed to learn how I felt for over a decade. One thing is certain, I didn't wish to act the way I did. If only he could of held back his gloating for one day. JUST for one day. But now after I did all that, I think I might of ruined my privileges to come over and see Jules and Mari." He sighed softly, "Those kids I swear…are just one of the few lights in my life."

Cream lightly placed her hand upon his as she looked at him with caring hues, "I'm sure the mistakes will be forgiven…and soon…you'll be able to see them again."

He smiled a bit before coming to a slow stop, allowing a few passing cars merge into the lane, "I hope so…surely do hope so."

~(At The Angel Island Garden)~

After what seemed to be an hour and half drive, both Tails and Cream managed to arrive at the garden. Tails pulled into the parking lot and parked in a slot that was close to the entrance, turning off the engine and looked over at Cream with a soft smile. He took the key out of the ignition and unstrapped the seatbelt before getting out of the car. Walking over to the passenger side, he helped Cream out of the car by opening the door and lending her a hand. He jumped a little once he felt the gentle touch of her hand resting upon his own as lightly grasped onto her and let her out, closing the door behind her. He sighed softly, feeling content before feeling her hugging his arm. Nothing but a dark blush appeared on his cheeks as he looked over at her with his blue hues. She giggled a bit as she make a cute remark, "Green might look great on me but red is certainly your color."

"Shush" he mumbled before looking over at the garden's entrance, his blush slowly fading, "Shall we proceed in this date?"

She blushed lightly as she replied, "Mhm."

Together, Tails and Cream walked over to the entrance and headed into the garden; from there, they were in a shock of a lifetime. Never in their days would they find something so vibrant, so beautiful then the brightly colored flowers that enhanced the garden's beauty. The scent of each flower was breath taking, although certain fragrances were causing Tails to sneeze multiple times. Despite the allergic reactions to certain flowers, Tails was having a good time with Cream and what truly sparked the moment of happiness is seeing her amongst the flowers. To his own eyes, he believed that her beauty was captivating; watching her lean close to a yellow rose and lightly sniffing it, taking in its fragrance. Unfortunately, his time to daydream about her came to an end when another round of sneezes caught him off guard. Cream looked over at him with concern, asking in a soft tone, "Are you all right, Miles?"

"I'll be –Achoo!- fine." He replied, covering his mouth, "So where is this rare –Achoo!- flower you were talking about earlier?"

"Oh yeah!" she exclaimed as she walked over to him and grasped his hand, "Let's go, I know exactly where it is!"

"Well I sure do hope so… -Achoo!-" he stated while letting out another sneeze.

Cream lead him over towards one of the garden's main attractions, the rose hedge maze. She stopped in her tracks, leaving Tails confused as she started taking off her heels. Tails couldn't help but to look at her with a raised eyebrow, "Uh…" he paused, lightly sniffling from all the sneezes that he's done, "I thought we were going to see the rare flowers?"

"We are," she stated as she took hold of her heels and straightened herself, "The rare flowers are in the middle of the maze."

"And you took off your heels, why?" he questioned.

"Because I want you to chase me" she giggled a bit giving him a light tap in the arm, "Come on now, lighten up a bit and have some fun"

He sighed a bit, rubbing his forehead, "I suppose you're right on that."

"Well then, what are you waiting for?" asked Cream as she sounded distant, causing Tails to look for her, "Come and get me!"

"Well you little sneak…" he chuckled a bit as he went to chase her down, "Here I come!"

He ran into the maze with no hesitation as he tried to track her down. He shifted his body a fun times, making sharp turns whenever he met face to face with a corner as he gradually started getting closer to her. From a quick glance he can tell that the colors of the roses were changing. From red to white, there was different sections of the hedges where it turned into a different color. Getting close to Cream, he slowly propelled his twin tails just so he could get a little faster before wrapping his arms around her waist and whispered in her ear, "Gotcha."

A light squeak surpassed Cream's lips before giggling, turning herself within his grasp while looking deep into his blue hues. With her actions, it caused Tails' heart to beat a bit faster than normal. Something about her, in general, was attracting him; making him slowly fall in love with her. Was it her beauty? Her caring for others? Her fun and loving personality? He wasn't too before letting her go, a dark blush appeared on his face as he noticed a hedge filled with unique roses; rainbow colored roses. He cleared his throat a bit as he point, "S-so…these are the flowers you were talking about?"

She lightly stroked her right ear as she nodded, "Mhm, these are what most people call the 'Chaos Rose'. What these roses are, are technically Mother Nature's mood ring. All it takes is for one person to touch one of the rose's petals and it'll turn into a single color to represent their mood."

"Oh?" he questioned as he took a step closer, thinking to himself, 'Well… she's going to find out sooner or later, if she hasn't figured it out already.'

He looked at each rose upon the hedge until he gazed at large, beautifully bloomed rose that was just waiting to be touched. He glanced over at Cream before placing a single touch to one of the rose's petal and waited for it change colors. Within seconds, the rose went from rainbow colors to a solid dark red, which caused Cream's hazel eyes widened a bit. She stepped closer to Tails before looking at him, feeling rather curious, "So… your mood is love. Who do you love? Who's on your mind?"

He sighed softly as he wrapped his right arm around her waist and pulled her close to him, having their lips just inches away from each other. He looked deep into her hazel hues with his glisten blues as he spoke in a soft tone, "Haven't figured that out yet? It's you… I don't know what got me to fall for you but…it's true….you're that other ray of light that's showing me the path to straighten my life. And… I want you to keep shining bright…as much as possible."

Before she could even speak, Tails placed a soft loving kiss upon her lips; something that he wished he could have done before. Once he pulled away he slowly let her go with a dark blush upon his cheeks, clearing his throat while rubbing the back of his neck, "Well… now you know."

She took a moment to take in on what has happened before speaking out the truth, "At least I know that you felt the same way. I love you as well…I have been for a long time."

"Well that would explain why you're always with me in the past, when it came to celebrating victories that is." He remarked while looking at her, holding out his hand, "Come…let's go and get us some coffee. It's getting to the end of our date."

"Will there be more dates after this?" she questioned before placing her hand upon his, gently grasping onto him.

"Of course. So many dates that you wouldn't even be able to keep track." He stated while chuckling, grasping onto her hand with the same amount of pressure as both of them left the maze and garden; happy.

~(At The Coffee Shop; 1:15 PM)~

After their long day of being at the garden, Tails drove Cream over to the coffee shop, which was only fifteen minutes away from the college. Cream sat patiently at an outside table while Tails was inside ordering two cappuccinos; one French Vanilla and the other White Chocolate with whipped cream. Getting ready to pay off his order he heard the black male wolf cashier ask, "Is that your girl over there…outside?"

Looking at the cashier in a rather confused expression, he replied, "Yes…she's my girl. Besides, I don't think you're her type even if she was single."

"Ah, come on man… how would you even know? She might be one of those 'nice and innocent' on the outside but behind closed doors… 'crazy ass bitch'" the cashier stated as he laughed at his own remark.

Hearing the wolf speak this way of Cream, ignited the flames of anger within Tails; he knew he had to do something before it got worse. He reached over the register and grasped onto the cashier's shirt and looked at him fiercely. Growling under his throat, Tails spoke in a low stern voice, "Don't you ever talk about Cream like that! She's not a piece of meat! One more remark like that and I'll make sure that you're castrated."

The cashier laughed in his face, "I'm not taking threats from a scrawny fox like you. So how about you go and hide behind you 'best pal' Sonic, you weak little sidekick?"

"THAT FUCKING DOES IT!" Tails yelled out, only to set the cashier's shirt on fire.

Not being affected by the flames, Tails continued to beat the crap out of the cashier until a huge gust of swirling wind filled the area behind them and pushed the cashier away; making him collide with the wall and coffee makers behind him. Breathing heavily, Tails looked around him as he noticed a few people were in shock of his actions. Instead of questioning, he laid out what he needed to pay for the drinks, grabbed them and headed out the door like nothing happened. Walking casually to the table, he placed the White Chocolate Cappuccino close to Cream while he went and sat on the other side. Cream was rummaging in her black purse when she noticed the chard fragments of what used to be his glove, "What on Mobius happened in there? Are you hurt?"

"Hmm?" he questioned before looking down at his own hand, "Oh…" he paused, chuckling a bit, "Well you see, the cashier who was getting our drinks…well he was new. He didn't know what he was doing." In the back of his mind he thought, 'Nor saying, at that matter'

"Ah okay, well that seems understandable." She spoke while continue to roam through her purse, "Good thing you got my drink here, I was about to take my medication."

'Medication? She looked far too healthy to have something wrong with her.' He thought as he watched her pull out a long, well rounded green pill from her purse, making him question, 'What kind of medical illness does she have that inquires to take a green pill a day? Something about this doesn't feel right…but… this is Cream… she couldn't be possibly do anything wrong…and I trust her will being. I won't question it.'

Tails sat there and watched her pop the pill to the back of her throat and then watched it down with a few gulps of her drink. A soft exhale surpassed her lips as she looked over at him, "Sorry that I haven't told you… I uh…gosh this is embarrassing… I have anxiety. And I need to take these pills once a day so I can keep myself normal. After being with you and the others for so long and then taking this huge leap on going to college, it takes so much to get used to."

"You don't need to apologize to me, love. I understand." He spoke as he placed his hand out in the middle of the table, thinking, 'Or at least I think I do.'

She rested her hand upon his as she lightly smiled, "At least someone does." She paused, giggling to herself, "Well… I hate for all of this to end but… I need to get back to the college, so I can change my clothes and be ready to head for class."

He lightly ran his thumb over the back of her hand as he asked in a caring tone, "Want me to drive you there?"

She shook her head, "No no, I don't want you to waste your gas on me and besides it's just a fifteen minute walk away. I do appreciate the gesture though."

"Very well then, " he said as they both stood up from their seat and moved away from the table; Tails stepping closer to her and placed a kiss upon her lips, "I love you Cream…just be careful."

She smiled softly as she replied back, "I will and I love you too, Miles."

He gave her a simple nod as he grabbed his cappuccino and headed over to his car; getting in quickly before getting run over by traffic. He placed the key into the ignition and turned on the engine. From there, he gave her a simple wave goodbye and pulled out of the parking lot; heading home. Cream turned her back upon her drink and started heading towards the college, placing her right hand upon her heart as she mumbled under her breath, "It's not time for him to know the truth just yet…"

~(At Tails' Home; 3:10 PM)~

After an eventful day, Tails pulled into his driveway and turned off the engine; taking out the keys from the ignition and got out of the car. With a bright smile upon his face, he walked over to the front door of his home and began to unlock the door while humming a happy tune. He could never feel any happier like he is now, the perfect date, having a girlfriend for the first time. Aside from nearly killing a cashier because of his actions, it was truly a great day. The door slowly creaked open and revealed the interior; a surprisingly clean interior. Tails stood there in shock as he noticed that his living room was tidy, too tidy to be exact. Everything was placed in the right areas of the room, the floor and walls were spotless, but that's not what fully caught Tails' attention. On the coffee table there was a letter this his name, 'Miles', labeled on it, could this answer his question on whom cleaned his home? He stepped inside, while closing the door behind him, and headed toward the coffee table to retrieve the note. He took a deep breath before opening the letter, bracing himself for what might be written inside. He hesitated at first, but then began to read its contents:

Dear Miles,

It's been quite a long time since I've last seen you, but I'm not here for quality chit chat. Miles, my dear boy, I know what's been going on. You've been experiencing some unusual occurrences as of late. I do believe that it would the right time for you to find out something, something that was hidden from the family. You know where to find me,

Yours Truly,

Uncle Merlin
