It was late. Sonic awoke to noises coming from down the hall. Tails... He got up and wandered to Tails' room. He looked over at his friend tossing and turning in his bed. Sonic decided to wake him.
"Tails," he said, shaking his friend, "Tails."
"Sonic!" he said
"It's okay Tails. I'm here." Tails sat up and moved to the top corner of his bed.
"S-Sonic? Wha- Why are y- Uh..."
"You were having a bad dream. I thought it was best to wake you up and make sure everything was okay." Sonic said in a slightly worried tone. Tails was trembling from the situation he was now in. There was a knock on the door as a child-like voice was asking for entry. Sonic hadn't even realised he'd shut the door. Cream entered and became puzzled at the two males in front of her. Tails looks so scared. But why would he - ? Her thoughts stopped there. Inside she felt her heart break. She didn't understand why she was suddenly so upset. Instead of staying she dismissed herself with the excuse of Tails already had company. Tails and Sonic looked at her, puzzled, but it didn't last for long. Sonic turned back to his friend and began to pester him again.
"Stop it, Sonic!"
"Sorry for wanting to help out my best friend!" That crushed Tails. Sonic was angry with Tails for being stubborn. He got up and stormed out of the room. Stunned and upset, Tails began to cry. In just five minutes, he had managed to somehow upset Cream and anger his best friend. All I wanted to do was tell him how I feel. Why has it all gone wrong? It isn't fair! Just like a child, Tails began to sulk.
Unaware of his friend's situation, Sonic went back to his room and looked out the window. The moon was full and shining bright. It calmed him almost instantly. Tails had worked him up and now all he wanted to do was apologise; to beg for his forgiveness. I can't go back in there. If I tried, he would just... push me away. Sonic sighed and continued staring out of his window. Why though? We've been friends since god knows when and he's trusted me with all his problems and secrets in the past. I don't get it at all... At that very moment, a lone tear rolled down Sonic's cheek. This confused him. He didn't know why he was making such a fuss about this. He knew Tails. He knew that his friend would tell him eventually. He took a last glance at the moon, sighed, and went to bed.
