Chapter Five: Tails and Cream's Moment
Back in Club Rouge, Cream was sitting with Vanilla and Tikal, talking about Tikal's song with Knuckles that happened earlier.
"That was a beautiful song you and him did earlier, Tikal!" Vanilla praised.
"Definitely shows you two were made for each other." Cream states happily. Tikal giggles.
"Well, thank you. Knuckles means the absolute world to me. And he even surprised me with his voice as well." Tikal stated.
"You didn't know that he could sing?" Cream thought.
"No. And then again, neither did he." Tikal chuckles, and Cream and Vanilla also chuckle at that statement.
They hear the doors open, and they all looked around, and saw Amy walking back towards them.
"Amy! Glad to see you're feeling better." Vanilla stated.
"Yeah, we were getting worried about you." Tikal added.
"How are you feeling, Amy?" Cream asked. Amy took a seat and sighs.
"Well, I'm not 100% better, but better than I was earlier." Amy replied.
"Still feeling upset over Sonic?" Vanilla asked. Amy sighed sadly.
"I don't really wanna talk about it. Right now, let's just enjoy the rest of the evening while we can. We're meant to be here to have fun, not cause a scene." Amy smiled.
"Fair enough." Cream replies.
With Tails, Knuckles and Shadow, they were having sips of their beers.
"And then after that, just knew Tikal needed to be apart of my life. So the next day, I bought a ring, and proposed to her that night. And as soon as she said yes, I knew this was real. We were meant to be, and it is forever." Knuckles said.
"It is absolutely beautiful, that ring too. Any ideas when the wedding is?" Tails asked.
"None as of yet, just when we can afford the wedding, really." Knuckles stated.
"Well, can't keep that woman hanging forever. Women look for a man, not a prune." Shadow warned.
"And how do you know what women want, Shadow?" Knuckles wondered. Shadow gulped.
"Uh, it was a book I read at Rouge and mine's house." Shadow lied. Knuckles chuckles.
"Of course it is." Knuckles said sarcastically.
Meanwhile, Rouge goes back on stage to introduce hopefully yet another brave person to come on and sing.
"OK ladies and gentlemen, I believe that last song we heard was stunning with two people. We need another like this. So do we have another duo that can sing for us?" Rouge wondered.
"Well, I wouldn't mind, but I doubt anyone would want to come on and sing with me." Cream stated sadly.
"Screw it, I'll do it! I'll sing a duet with you, Cream." Tails said randomly.
Everyone looked on at Tails in surprise.
"Tails?! Are you sure you wanna do this?" Knuckles thought.
"Well, you only live once, and it is something I haven't done before. So Cream, shall we?" Tails smiled. Cream looking surprised, but she smiled back.
"Gladly!" Cream exclaimed in surprise.
After that, they both made their way on stage, and both stood in front of the microphone stands, and picked up their mics.
"Musicians, play any kind of like ballad." Tails asked.
"A ballad?! But, what will the song be about?" Cream asked in surprise.
"Just make up anything, Cream. Sing from your heart." Tails replied.
Cream didn't really know what he meant by that, but she nods in agreement. The music then started to slowly.
.
(Cream singing)
If I'm to win your heart
If you let me in your heart
I'll be so happy, baby, ooh
Just with these arms to be
Holding you close with me
There's nothing in the world I won't try
No limits to what I'll do to make you mine, because
.
This really surprised Tails. Hearing those words, it sounded like a romance. But Tails was not going to let this beat him, and he decided to go with the flow.
.
(Tails and Cream singing)
I'll climb right into the sky
I'll take down the stars
Just to be in your arms, baby
I'll go to capture the moon
That's what I would do
Just to hear you say that you love me
Just to hear you say that you love me
.
Tails and Cream look at one another with a surprise look on their faces. They had no idea where these words were coming from, but they continued to sing from their hearts.
.
(Cream singing, Tails improvising)
If I'm to taste your kiss
There'll be no sweeter gift
Heaven would offer, baby, oh
(Oh, baby)
I want to be the one
(I want to be the one)
Living to give you love
.
"Damn, Tails and Cream are holding nothing back here!" Knuckles stated in surprise.
"Love has no limits with age. Young love, by the look of things." Shadow thought. But Knuckles looks at Shadow in surprise. How does he know so much about what romance is?
.
(Tails and Cream singing)
I'll walk across the world just to be
Close to you, because I want you close to me, yeah
.
(Tails and Cream singing)
I'll climb right into the sky
I'll take down the stars
Just to be in your arms, baby
I'll go to capture the moon
That's what I would do
Just to hear you say that you love me
Just to hear you say that you love me
.
"Aw, so romantic, actually!" Vanilla praised happily.
"Aren't they a little too young for that though?" Amy thought.
"Not really. I mean, weren't you like eight years old when you fell in love with Sonic?" Tikal asked.
"Good point, Tikal." Amy replied.
.
(Cream singing, Tails improvising)
For the rest of our lives
(For the rest of our lives)
Love me for the rest of our time
(Oh baby, baby, ooh)
Just say these words
Then I'll give you my world
There's nothing I won't do
(Tails and Cream singing)
Baby, just to be with you
.
(Cream singing)
Ah, ah ah
(Tails singing)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ohh
.
Tails and Cream look into one another's eyes closely, and passionately.
.
(Tails and Cream singing)
I'll climb right into the sky
I'll take down the stars
Just to be in your arms, baby
I'll go to capture the moon
That's what I would do
Just to hear you say that you love me
Just to hear you say that you love me, baby
.
Just to hear you say that you love me
.
(Cream singing, Tails improvising)
Oh, I need to hear you say that you love me, baby
(Oh, I need you, baby)
Just to hear you say that you love me
Just say you love me
(Just say you love me, baby)
Just say you need me
(Oh I need you to love me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
.
(Cream singing)
Just to hear you say that you love me
(Tails singing)
Oh, oh, oh oh oh
.
After that, the audience applauded the both of them. This was probably the most beautiful thing anyone has ever seen. Tails and Cream still looking into one another's eyes.
"Cream, when I mentioned sing from the heart, was that it?" Tails asked in confusion.
"Yes, it was. And it was all how I feel towards you." Cream confessed. Tails gasped in shock.
"Really?!" Tails exclaimed in shock.
"Yes." Cream replied. Tails smiles.
"Well, now that you've mentioned that, it makes it easier for me to confess that I feel the same way." Tails told her.
Cream gasped in shock, and tried to reply to him, but Tails suddenly gave her a warm loving embrace. Cream was surprised by his actions, but she gave into his embrace, and placed her arms around his waist.
"Well, Tails got the girl. I'm proud of him." Knuckles smiled.
"Young love lives a lot longer." Shadow stated.
"Speaking of love, Shadow, how do you know all about this?" Knuckles wondered.
"Uh..." Shadow hesitated.
