Hi again! I forgot to say what was next! Silly me… Today, we learn how Sonic met Tails… Well sort of. We've learned about Sonic; now let's learn about Tail's. His past isn't has long, but it's sad in a different way.

Now there's the fact's that remain in every way they meet. It's raining, it's night, there is bully's involved, it's in an alley or other dark area such as the forest, Sonic helps him, instant friendship, right? WRONG. Yes, I'm keeping a few things, like the rain and night and there is bully's but we're changing the order of things. And also, what happens if Sonic sticks up for him, but didn't actually stick around. Yep… Go grab a box of tissues and get ready to cry. It's one of these chapters.

Narrator's POV:

*2 years after Sonic met Robotnik*

For a six year old, he knew about stuff he shouldn't know about. Like why plant's grow and how car's run. But he also knows about thing's he REALLY shouldn't know about.

Like the fact that his Mother died in childbirth. Or that his Father didn't want a 'mutant freak' as a son. And that his Sister was the only one cared about him when he was in the house. Or that his sister couldn't take the pain of their Father and breaking up with her Boyfriend so she jumped. Then there was the fact that his Father cast out a three year old to fend for himself.

He had also learned that two tails made him a target for bullying and his smarts didn't help the cause.

Which is why he was hiding in the wood's, in the middle of the biggest rain storm of the year.

Yep, he really knew thing's he shouldn't, little Miles Prower.

There was one thing he had always wanted…but it was something that would never happen to him.

He shivered slightly as a drop of rain landed on his nose. He sneezed and buried his head in his knees. Suddenly, a bush rustled nearby. The little fox looked up with fear in his eyes and a figure tumbled out of the brush.

"Ouch!" The stranger stood up and brushed himself off. "Well that hurt…" Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the shivering little fellow. "Hey kid, what are you doing out here?"

Miles yelped and hid in knees, wrapping his tails around him.

"Woah kid, I'm not going to hurt you…"

The fox poked his head out and stared at the stranger. He couldn't really make him out because of the dark hoodie he was wearing that covered his face, but Miles knew he didn't know him. He tucked his head back in his little hide-away.

"Kid, I'm not going to hurt you. What's your-?"

"I think he's over here!"

Miles heard retreating footsteps and when he looked up, the stranger was gone…but Phillip and his gang were there. He hid again, knowing what was coming.

Sonic's POV:

I'd seen a lot of thing's over the past two years that were confusing. Like how the public could now hail a so-called freak a hero in the matter of two years.

When I first started fighting Robotnik, it was in the middle of nowhere. But as the fight and area spread, slowly people started to know who I was. They cheered whenever I showed my face in public, after all, how many super speeding blue hedgehogs are there in the world? That's why I started wearing a hoodie in towns and cities. True, it wasn't a perfect disguise, but at least I wasn't mobbed every other second.

Another confusing thing was why a little fox was so scared of me. Sure I popped out of the bushes, but I'm pretty sure my voice was gentle. Of course when I heard voices, I thought it was some fans who saw me zip into the forest. So I had jumped behind a nearby tree to wait for them to leave.

I'm glad I did.

"Hey freak! Were you hiding from us?" A chipmunk in a beanie and leather jacket asked the little fox.

His two friends, a bear cub and weasel stood on either side of him, laughing.

The little fox shivered and shook his head, his eyes filled with terror.

"Yeah right. Get up mutant."

I felt my quill's stand on end.

The little fox stood up, his little knee's knocking together. "P-please, Ph-Ph-Phillip. D-don't h-hurt m-me…"

I tightened my hands into fists.

"Yeah…we won't hurt you." He smacked his fist into his hand smirking. "Get him."

I winced in sympathy as the boys began to beat the fox. "You just gave me a reason to do something…"

I stepped out from behind the tree. "Hey! Leave him alone!"

The three boys froze and turned around. The little fox on the ground whimpered but didn't look up.

The chipmunk laughed, "And what are you going to do about it? You're all alone."

Slowly, I walked forward, my hands in the air. "You're right I'm alone…but that doesn't mean I can't do anything about it."

The three boys surrounded me, smiling evilly. Phillip (I guess) smirked. "No one care's about that kid. Why would you even put yourself in harm's way for him? Do you even know him?"

I shook my head, "That doesn't mean I don't care about him." Without waiting for another word, I swung around carrying my body weight into the punch I delivered to the bear's jaw. He stumbled back in pain moaning as I ducked down and swept my feet from under the weasel. Before he hit the ground I had punched the leader in the face twice and held him against a tree.

Phillip's eyes glinted with fear. "Y-you can't do that. My father's the mayor… He'll have you arrested."

I shook my head and took of my hood. "Do you really think he will?"

His eyes grew even more afraid as he realized who had him pinned to a tree. "N-no Mr. Sonic."

"Good, now get going. And if I find out you pick on anyone again, I will come after you. Got it?"

He nodded quickly. I dropped him to the ground.

Phillip and his friend's ran as fast as they could out of the forest.

Slowly, I let out a sigh. I knelt down next to the kid. "Are you okay, kid?"

The little fox poked his head out and stared at me with these bright blue eyes. "Are…you…really…Sonic?"

I picked him up and wiped mud away from his face. "Yeah, kind of crazy, right?"

He nodded slowly and stood up.

"Well little fellow, you should be heading home. Your Mother is probably worried sick."

The fox looked at his feet. He looked a little sad then looked back up his eye's shining.

"Did you really mean it?"

I frowned a bit confused, "Mean what?"

"That you cared about me?"

Immediately the images of Sonia and Manic flashed through my mind. "Uh…"

The little fellow's face fell. "It's okay Mr. Sonic. I understand…" He turned around and disappeared into the forest.

I walked in the opposite direction, wondering if I should have done something different…
