Sonic hugged Amy back. "Why don't you come back to my place?" He inquired. "You can sleepover if you wish."
"I would love to do that." Amy smiled.
"Come on then! Let's go!" Sonic picked up Amy then ran off. He jumped from tree to tree, taking care of his footing, Until he got home with her safely.
Tails then turned to Cream. He waited for a moment for her to speak, she didn't. He then looked up at the cloudy sky. "it's getting quite late. Maybe we should both go home. What do you think." he maneuvered his gaze to her.
Cream looked up at Tails. "I agree. I could do with some sleep." She yawned and rubbed one of her eyes.
"maybe I should take you home. I mean after all, you are only six and it is quite late." Cream nodded and walked up to Tails quietly. She shivered a little as she walked through the snow to hug Tails. Tails then took her by her arms.
He then flew back to her house first. He carried her all the way. Tails was flying high above all the trees they passed. Cream had fallen asleep. Once Tails started to get closer to Creams house he lowered himself down to the floor. He then picked Cream up, with his one arm under her neck and his other arm holding her legs.
He walked towards creams house. He shook his tails up and down to shake off the snowflakes that were clinging to his fur. He saw the lights flickering in one of the glistening window. Tails walked up to the door, along the paved path, leaving his footprints behind in the snow.
As soon as he reached the door he knocked it firmly. Vanilla answered. Tails passed Cream to Vanilla then said a brief 'goodnight' before leaving to go to his own home. He jumped up and started to rotate his tails once more. On his way home he came across a tanned coloured echidna, Tikal. He waved before carrying on battling the wind and snow to get home.
Tikal was sat on the floor. She was surrounded by a flood of choas. She patted them on their heads, watching them fly around her. She seemed intrigued by them all.
Tikal could hear the breeze brushing past the many trees. She stood up and walked towards a stream which was flowing gently beside her. Her choas friends followed her. She bent down and swiftly snatched a stone up from the ground. A gust of wind flew past her, blowing her patterned skirt around her.
She looked down into her hand at the stone. Tikal glanced across the stream and flung the stone into its fast flowing waters. The rings quickly formed as the stone made contact with the water. Tikal watched each one of them wash away. She then noticed a reflection in the water. She slowly moved her eyes upwards until they hit something on the other side.
Tikal instantly blushed. Her head shot upwards until her pale blue eyes met the eyes that were staring back at her. They were as red as a beautiful rose. "Chaos control." The figure said softly. A bright light formed around him. Seconds later he had vanished and appeared right next to Tikal.
"Hi there." He said, in his ordinary dark voice.
"Hi Shadow." Tikal replied. "What are you doing here?"
"Looking for something" He answered mysteriously. He opened his hand to Tikal. "Come, will you help me look?" Tikal looked up at him uncertainly. She nodded and took his hand. She felt the warmth of his hand in hers. She felt nervous and safe. Shadow span around and started to skate off, suddenly he felt himself get pulled backward. He fell on his back, as he held onto Tikals hand, this caused her to fall with him.
Tikal fell forward. Her lips landed on his. She was in shock, yet Shadow didn't try to push her away. She was unsure about what to do. Should she kiss or pull away.
Shadow could tell Tikal was unsure of what to do. Truth was, he was too. He knew what he wanted to do, but he didn't know what was right.
Tikal made the decision to sit up. Shadow leaned forward so Tikal could only see his back and couldn't see him blushing. A gust of wind blew past them. Shadow felt his cheeks go back to their normal colour, so he span around. He pushed himself onto his knees.
"Sorry." He heard Tikal whisper. He nodded. The temptation was killing him. He hated having to keep this secret. He leant forward to feel her lips on his once more. Tikal kissed back, she put her hands on his shoulders.
Shadow wanted to savor her every touch. He felt his way up her legs, yet made sure not to go too far. Tikal seemed to tense as she realized what he was doing, she pushed his hands away.
Shadow felt a little awkward. He began to pull away, thinking that was what Tikal would want. Tikal felt their lips parting. "No." She whispered. "Please, don't stop yet."
He understood immediately and kissed Tikal once more. The only object visible on the horizon, were the two of them kissing in the moonlight.
