Day: June 2, 2184
Tails began to walk toward the front door to meet up with Cream. As he got towards the door, he took one last look around to look at Cosmo's plant. "Don't worry Cosmo." Tails thought, "I will fulfill our promise"
Tails began walked out the front door to see Cream, Amy, Sonic, Knuckles, Rouge, Vector, and Vanilla all outside waiting for him.
"Woah!" Tails said. "I thought it was just Cream, not all of us!"
"What? You didn't think that we weren't coming to were ya?"
"Oh, sorry," Tails regrouped, "I just didn't know that Cream wasn't the only one out here"
"It's all good, foxy boy" Rouge said, "So, you ready for your date with Cream?"
"DATE?!" Tails and Cream said as Cream began to wildly blush "I thought that we were going as friends, did you tell them this was a date Cream?" Tails asked
"No!" Cream said "I didn't say that!" The rest of the group stared at Cream with a look of disappointment. She sighed and faced Tails
"Well, I thought that you knew that it was a date, which is why I hugged you like that earlier." Cream said as tears began to come from her face. "Oh, please forgive me Tails! I just thought that you knew!" Now it was bad, it almost reminded him of when he killed Cos-
"NO!" Tails thought "I promised to move on from her!" "It's okay Cream; just make sure you check with me next time, okay?"
"Thanks Tails" Cream said as she wiped away the tears from her face.
"So, how do we plan on getting to Station Square?" Knuckles asked
"Well," Tails said "None of our cars can hold all 8 of us, but Cream, Knuckles, Rouge and I can take the Tsunami. Sonic, you, Amy, Vector, and Vanilla can get another ride."
"Oh, Sonic! Let's take my car!" Amy squealed as she gripped onto Sonics arm tightly, "I did some new things to it that I know you will love! Just as much as you love me!"
"If that's the case, then I'm gonna hate this" Sonic mumbled. Sonic turned around to see Amy's Piko Piko hammer out.
"What was that, Sonic?" Amy said
"N-Nothing Amy!" Sonic said.
"Good!" Amy said. "So then we'll take my car!"
"Alrighty, see you all there!" Tails said as he, Cream, Knuckles, and Rouge got into the Tsunami and began to head towards Station Square.
As the Tsunami sped through the forest and head towards Station Square, Tails noticed that Knuckles was inspecting a lot of the car. Tails ignored this and kept on driving. Eventually, Tails got bored of driving and pressed a button and turned the seat around.
"Woah woah!" Knuckles yelled, "Why aren't you driving? You're gonna get us killed!"
"Calm down." Tails said, "I set the car to send us straight to Station Square. It's on autopilot right now. So now we can all talk and hang out!"
"Yeah calm down, knucklehead" Rouge said as she put her hand on Knuckles.
"So Rogue," Tails said with a smirk on his face, "You talked about me and Cream going out on a date, so what about you and knuckles?" Tails snickered.
Knuckles spoke up, "Actually, were just going as fri"
Rouge put her hand over Knuckles mouth. "Actually, I asked him to go as my date, and he said yes!"
"That was not how it went!" Knuckles yelled, "You stole the master emerald and said you would give it back if I took you on a 'date'"
"But did you say yes?" Rouge asked?
"By forcing me to!" Knuckles yelled. The two got into an intense argument, spitting forth and back at each other. Well, more with Knuckles yelling at Rouge, while she sat there and laughed hysterically. Tails looked at Cream, who was looking at him. He shrugged as she just sat there and smiled.
"So Tails, what have you been up to? I haven't seen you in a while." Cream asked, while Knuckles continued to yell at Rouge.
"Nothin much, just resting after the fight with the Metarex." Tails replied
"Really? That's it? No new machines or inventions?" Tails wished that he could talk about Project: Cosmo Revival, but no one could know. Plus, he was done with her, and was ready to move on.
"Yeah, I haven't really been able to come up with anything lately." Tails said
"Well, if you ever feel like it, I'm always cooking, so come over whenever you feel like it and we can cook together!" Cream replied
"Thanks. I will think about it." Tails said as he looked out the window. They had arrived at downtown station square, home to the main festivals of the summer festivities. People come from all across the galaxy just to gaze upon the beauty of the decorations and the amazing games available to the public.
The Tsunami pulled into the garage and turned itself off.
"Wow Tails" Knuckles said, not focusing on Rouge, "That's actually really impressive."
"Thanks Knuckles" Tails said as they all met up with sonic and the rest of the gang.
"Alrighty, who's ready to have some fun?" Sonic said
"What are we waiting for?" Cream said as she took Tails hand and rushed down towards the main entrance. As they left the garage lot, they walked toward the entrance
As they approached the entrance, Tails looked around at all of the decorations.
"Wow" Tails thought, "Look at all of these amazing decorations! Those ribbons look awesome, and so do the flashing lights! And… wow look at the roses! Say, those remind me of Co" Tails was about to say Cosmo, but quickly stopped himself
"Why can't I stop thinking about her?" Tails said aloud. Tails didn't realize he had said this aloud. Suddenly, everyone stopped. Tails turned around to see everyone staring at him
"What?" Tails asked
"Mind telling us who you can't get your mind off of?" Knuckles asked, looking very confused.
"Uh…I…Uhh" Tails stuttered as he was trying to make an excuse. "There's this girl I met and for some reason I can't my mind off of her" Tails blushed
"Okay, mind telling me who this mystery girl is?" Knuckles asked
"I'm not gonna tell you! You would know and then tell her!" Tails said
"Okay, whatever" Knuckles shrugged it off and went on with his day.
Tails and the gang walked around all day, trying out new foods and games. Even the marmolins had stopped by and made their own fortune telling booths. Tails looked at the fortune telling booth, thinking about Planet Marmolin. "ahh the good old days of when we were fighting the metarex." Tails thought "That so many funny moments, Amy's foolish attempts to get sonic to fall in love with her, Chris with the athlete's foot, and when I fell in the lake of love with C" Tails almost did it again. "Son of a mother!" Tails yelled out. Everyone started staring at Tails and Cream. Tails blushed and didn't know how to cover himself up.
"Heh heh just stubbed my toe folks!" Tails said. Everyone walked away, awkwardly looking at Tails as they left.
"Tails, what's really going on? Come on, you can tell me" Cream asked
"It's nothing Cream, I promise I'm fine, it's just the girl I was talking about earlier" Tails said.
"Tails, I know that's not what your problem is"
"Please Cream, I promise I'm A-Okay" Tails gave her a thumb up.
"Okay, if you say so." Cream said. Cream knew that Tails wasn't okay. He hadn't been the same ever since the battle of the metarex. But what was it that was making him act this way? This thought pondered Cream throughout the day.
Sonic took the group all around, constantly getting stopped for autographs and pictures for mobiusgram, the area's social networking app. The gang went on many different rides and played many different games. The one Tails remembered the most was when the crew had gone on go-karts. Knuckles had been pressing on the gas pedal so hard, that he broke and tried running the rest of the course.
"You can't catch up to me, Knucklehead" Rouge said as she sped ahead of Knuckles.
"Why you little!" Knuckles yelled as he began running the rest of the course. He had gotten right behind Rouge. As he was about to pass her, she quickly braked, making Knuckles run into the go-kart and sending Knuckles flying.
Tails couldn't stop laughing for 30 minutes; just thinking about Knuckles flying through the air was absolutely hilarious.
It had finally come to the end of the night and everybody was ready for the fireworks.
"Jeez!" Tails said as he looked around at the packed crowd, "How are we gonna get a seat?" Tails asked
"Don't worry!" Sonic said as he led the group toward an open spot, "The guys gave us reserved seating as thanks for stopping the metarex!"
"Wow, that's really nice!" Tails said as they all took a seat.
The time had arrived for the fireworks to come and a green hedgehog walked up to the stage
"Hello Mobius!" The green hedgehog yelled as the crowd went crazy
"Who is this guy?" Tails asked Sonic.
"His name is James the hedgehog, one of the most famous entertainers in the world!" Sonic said.
"Are you all ready for a great time tonight?!" James asked as the crowd began screaming and clapping.
"Alrighty! That's what I'm talking about! You guys are super energetic!" James said "But first, were gonna take a moment to be a little serious before we have some fun." Tails was confused, why did James need to take a serious moment? What's going on?
"As we all know, Sonic the hedgehog and his group of friends recently stopped an intergalactic threat known as the metarex. However, it came with a price. Is Tails here? Miles prower? Are you hear tonight? If so, come on up here."
Suddenly, a light shined on Tails. Tails covered his eyes as the bright light shined in his eyes."
"There you are! Come on up!"
Tails walked up to the stage as James put his arm around him.
"You see this guy right here? This guy is a legend and is one of the bravest people I've ever heard of. This guy stopped the metarex whilst sacrificing the one he loves most. Now in his respect, I'm not gonna release her name. But he is one of the most courageous people you will ever see. Which is why I'm dedicating this show to him. Everyone give him a round of applause!"
Tails didn't want this attention, especially considering why he was up there. He looked toward Sonic as he gave him a thumbs up! Oh no, sonic planned this! He felt tears running up toward his eyes as he looked up at the fireworks launching in the sky. He noticed two fireworks. The first one was a rose, similar to that of Cosmo's. Tails gave up on trying to not say her name. The second one though, made his feelings set in stone. The second one was in the figure of Cosmo, with her green hair and dress, red roses, and her blue eyes.
Tails couldn't hold it. Tails began bawling as he flew off towards the parking lot. Tails could hear the others trying to tell him to stop, but it didn't matter, nothing mattered without Cosmo. Tails got to his car and turned it on. He then set it to take him home. As the Tsunami took off. His vision started becoming blurry. Suddenly it went black. Tails couldn't hear or see anything. Suddenly a flash came by; it looked like he was getting chased. Then it happened again, this time a crashing sound and more screams. Finally, he heard himself scream to go away before he fully went unconscious.
