(Normal POV)

"Uhm, Tails?" Cream asked. "It kind of feels weird with you staring and all." she muttered.

"Oh! S-sorry."Tails stuttered out. He then looked at the ground, embarrassed. He knew it was wrong to stare, but he couldn't help it.

They both then kept walking, hand in hand, Cream as content as can be, while on the other side Tails was really nervous. He did like Cream, but he had no experience with girls. One time when he tried to ask her out, back in the sixth grade, he stuttered so badly he sounded like a broken record, and even then he couldn't ask her. He had tried a few more times since then, but only came up with the same results; stuttering, failure, and unimaginable embarrassment.

He looked back at Cream, who was to busy daydreaming to notice his flustered state. Her new look made her look so different, it made her look a lot older than she was supposed to. And he looked, well nothing like it. He wondered why she even changed her look. Could it have been for him? He pondered the thought for about half a minute before moving on.

Cream then glanced at Tails, who then caught her gaze and looked at her. They both slightly blushed and turned their heads away from each other.

"So, uhm Cream. I like your look.." Tails finally told her.

Cream then looked at him, a smile on her face. "Really?" she asked. "I thought it made me look, er...like I belong in a nightclub or something."

"No, not at all." Tails replied. She was slightly right though.

Cream then saw a car in the distance. It was a dark green color, and it almost looked like her mother's! Cream then grabbed Tails and shoved him in a nearby bush, and quickly jumped in with him just before the car rolled by, and the driver, Vanilla, hadn't seen them.

"Holy! Cream whats going on?" Tails asked, trying to come to sense with what had just happened.

he noticed that Cream was on top of him and his face went so red it looked like someone had just dumped a bucket of red paint on him. Cream then pointed at the car, and Tails noticed it as Vanilla's.

"Oh.." he managed to get out. "Quick thinking." he mumbled.

"Yea." Cream then got off of Tails, embarrassed at what she did. "Sorry Tails." she said.

"Its okay." he told her. He then stood up and brushed his fur off, then they both got out of the bush.

"And what would you two be doing?" a voice asked.

Both Cream and Tails turned around to see Shadow. They then noticed they were in shadow's yard.

"Oh,Shadow! Heh, uhm...hi!" Tails said. Shadow raised an eye then quickly muttered something that neither Cream or Tails could hear. He looked agitated, but then again, when didn't he?

Shadow then noticed Cream's clothing and his expression changed.

"Uhm...Cream? Whats with the new look?" Shadow asked.

"Nothing..just something Rouge helped out with." Cream said.

"Forget it, I'm sorry I asked. Would you two go away? I'm trying to do something." he mumbled.

"Uh..ok?" Tails said out loud, confused.

"Come on Tails!" Cream told him. She then grabbed him by the hand and pulled him away. Shadow then shook his head.

"Love..such a pathetic emotion.." Shadow muttered. He then laid down on the grass and stared at the sky, wondering how two people could fall for each other, and put so much effort into it. Such pleasures weren't needed in life, and he knew he wouldn't fall for them. Or at least that's what he thought.

Cream was running down the sidewalk, holding onto Tails, while Tails, was just trying to keep up with her and not fall flat on his face. He never knew she could run this fast, and neither did she.

"Hey Cream..why are we running?" Tails asked.

"Because, I don't want to many people seeing me like this. The more people that see me like this the more likely mom finds out and I'm doomed." Cream explained.

"Oh! Right!" Tails replied. Again Cream had been thinking on her feet, while he was too flustered to think of anything. Cream then suddenly ran off the sidewalk, and cut in between the houses, and they kept running. Soon after, Tails didn't recognize the street they were on.

"Uhm...Cream?" Tails asked. But Cream was so focused on finding a place to hide, that she didn't hear him.

"Cream!" he yelled. She then suddenly stopped and he stopped too.

"Yes Tails?" she asked, wondering why he said her name.

"Where are we?" the yellow fox asked.

She then looked around, and after a small period of silence, gave her answer.

"Uh...I honestly don't know.." They then heard what sounded like thunder in the distance.

"That doesn't sound good." Cream mumbled.

Tails nodded and the two began looking for some place to stay, because he knew it would rain soon. After ten minutes of looking,they sat under a tree close to the road, and it started to rain. At first it started out as a small drizzle. Cream then sighed and reached into her bag, and pulled out a small umbrella.

"You had that on you?" Tails asked, slightly surprised.

"Yea..my mom makes my carry it all the time in case I need it." she explained.

"That's handy." he told her.

She then opened it and the two were safe from the rain. The two sat there, as the water poured down around them, like tears from the sky. The two were silent, unsure of what to say. Cream was quite embarrassed that Tails kept on occasionally glancing at her. Tails on the other hand, was completely confused. He then decided to break the silence.

"So uhm, Cream?" he asked.

"Yea Tails?" she answered.

"Why did you dress like that?" he asked her, curious.

Creams face then reddened.

"No reason, heheh."

She was obviously hiding something.

"You can tell me Cream, I'll understand.." he told her. She then sighed.

"Well..." she started. She then stopped, and thought out what she was going to say. "You obviously know I have some feelings for you."

"Uhm...yea I guess so, but you didn't have to dress like that to show it.." he told her.

"I guess not, but still... I like you a lot." Cream told him, in a slightly embarrassed tone.

He then sighed, he had the same feelings for her, and he decided there was only one way to get his feelings out. He thought he was crazy, but he did it anyways. He then put his arm around her, and pulled her closer.

"Huh? Tails what are you doi-" but Tails cut her off, by planting a soft kiss on her lips. The kiss only was about five seconds, but seemed like a lifetime. The kiss was sweet, just how he had always dreamed. he was going against everything he told her, he just didn't know why. She then pulled away, and he realized what the heck he just did.

"Wait...did I kiss her? Oh god..what have I done? She probably thinks I'm weird now!" I then looked at her, and I swear she looked like a ripe cherry.

"Oh my god, he kissed me! Oh yes! Happy day! Happy day!" she thought to herself.

But instead of looking happy, she looked embarrassed, surprised, even shocked.

He then sighed, and stood up. She stood up too, and they started walking back to her house. Tails and Cream were silent, it was as if the whole world was frozen, and they were the only two people there. They finally reached a familiar street about ten minutes later, and in no time, they got to her house. He walked up to the front door and reached for the doorknob, when she grabbed him, and started pulling Tails to the backyard.

"Tails! I told you I cant be seen like this!" she whispered.

"Oh! Sorry I forgot!" Tails said. he cursed himself mentally for being such an idiot, and for forgetting something so important.

"There's no backdoor, how am I going to get in?" she asked. He then sighed and looked around, and as he looked up, and saw her window.

"The window." he muttered. She heard him and looked at Tails.

"Huh?" she asked.

"The window, I can fly you up there!" he said. "Here, climb on my back."

"What?" Cream asked, wondering if she was hearing right.

"Either that or you walk through the front door." Tails told her.

"Oh..alright." she replied.

She then climbed onto his back, and Tails readied himself. He spun his two tails, and started to pick up off the ground, and rose to the second story, straight to her window. He wasn't used to flying while carrying someone, but he managed anyways. She grabbed the edge of her window and pulled it open. She then climbed inside, and he dropped to the ground, landing on his feet.

"Bye Tails." she said, sticking her head out the window, a blush, clear as day, on her cheeks. He simply nodded and jumped over the back fence. He ran about ten feet, and looked back, but the window was already closed. He sighed.

"What was I thinking? Oh man..I really screwed up." he thought. He was pretty sure she was either mad, or creeped out. He then thought about Sonic again.

"Maybe he'll know what to do.." Tails thought. He then broke into a run again, heading to the blue hedgehogs house.

I cant believe It took me so long to update this...sorry. Gosh..a new happy couple, or is it? You'll find out, soon hopefully. Anyways, I'm gonna try and pull this story from my dustbin, and start working on it more. Thanks for reading! Review if you can!
