A Supersonic Love
Chapter 3:
It took them about ten minutes to reach the lake. When they arrived, Tails immediately went to work setting up the picnic.
"Hey Tails, I'm gonna take a dip in the lake," said Cream.
"Ok. The picnic will be ready soon," replied Tails. Cream walked into the lake. The water was cool on her skin. As she floated in the water, she thought of what she would tell Tails. I mean, how do you tell your best friend that you have a crush on him.
"Cream, the picnic's ready," shouted Tails. Cream slowly walked out of the lake, quickly grabbing her towel. She started to dry off, but suddenly, she tripped over a rock. She put her hands out to block her fall, but before she hit the ground, she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist. She turned her head to see it was Tails that had caught her. She felt her cheeks heat up. He helped her stand back up.
"Thanks for catching me Tails," she said.
"No problem," replied Tails as they sat down on the blanket. They ate some ice cream for lunch, and then Tails packed up everything.
"So, what do you want to do now?", he asked as he finished packing up the picnic.
"Well, we could go for another swim," suggested Cream.
"Sounds like a great idea," said Tails.
"Bet I can beat you to the water," said Cream.
"Okay. What's the wager?", asked Tails.
"If I win, you have to kiss me," answered Cream. This caused Tails to blush slightly.
"Fine. If I win, you have to answer one question, truthfully," said Tails.
"Agreed," said Cream. They began the race. It quickly became clear that Tails was going to be the winner, and he had soon reached the shore of the lake.
"Looks like I win," said Tails.
"I guess so," said Cream.
"So, what question do you want to ask me?", she asked.
"Do you have a crush on me?", he asked. Cream's cheeks immediately flushed. Every fiber of her brain was screaming at her to say no, but her heart was screaming at her to say yes. She decided to follow her heart.
"Yes, I do have a crush on you. Miles 'Tails' Prower, I love you," she answered, tears streaming down her face.
"You probably hate me now," said Cream as she turned away from him. She felt him place his hand on her shoulder.
"What? I could never hate you Cream. I love you more than you know," replied Tails.
"Really Tails?", she asked, looking up at him in disbelief.
"Yes. Cream the Rabbit, I'm madly in love with you," answered Tails. They intertwined hands and slowly began to close the gap between them. Right before they lips could meet, Cream pulled away.
"Is something wrong?", asked Tails, concerned.
"No, it's just that, I want to wait for my first kiss," answered Cream.
"Oh. Okay, I can wait, if that's what you want," replied Tails.
"Oh, thank you so much Tails," said Cream as she hugged him. He blushed. Little did they know, they were both in grave danger.
