Chapter 5: The Begining of More Than a Friendship

Tails Body lay undisturbed resting on the bed in creams room,

He had been unconscience for hours

And they were all worried.

"Tails..." sonic paused

Vanilla went downstairs to make some tea for them

Sonic and cream never left his side.

"Tails..." cream started

"Please, dont die, Your the only true friend ive ever had!" She said bursting into tears

She couldnt fight back the endless river of tears flowing down her cheeks.

She was huddled over his body, her tears fell staining the foxes fur.

Sonic was sitting there mentaly slapping himself

"How Could I not be there to help him" said sonic.

"I couldnt save him!, I couldnt get there in time!" yelled sonic

He himself broke into tears.

Then the silence was broken

"Ughhhh" came a moan from the bed

"They looked to see tails, starting to wake up.

He lay there, his eyes started to open, as he looked around.

He saw cream and Sonic huddled around him.

"Wh-hat happened" he asked weakily

Sonic gave him a brotherly hug

"Oh tails we thought we lost ya" said sonic wiping his tears

Cream continue crying, but they were tears of joy.

"Tails your alive!" she cried wrapping her arms around him.

He slightly blushed

Sonic stood up off the bed

"Ill Get Vanilla to bring up some more of that tea" said sonic dashing downstairs.

Cream sat on the bed next to Tails

"Are you okay?" she asked worried

Tails sat up, "yeah im fine"

She smiled at him.

"Thanks for saving me tails" she said

"Tails slightly blushed.

"Um well no problem" he stuttered

cream giggled

They sat there for minutes just staring at each other not saying a word, or exchanging glances.

At this point they moved slightly closer to each other

And something compelled cream to do something she wouldnt regret for the rest of her life

She kissed Tails on the cheek...

Tails stood there absolutely shocked at what she just did,

Cream was also suprised herself at what just happened

Their faces were no longer pink, they were red!

"Cream, I-I" he started to say

They gazed into each others eyes.

They came closer to each other

They started to breath faster and heavier

Right as their eyes met, Sonic came back upstairs

They pushed away from each other, as If nothing had ever happened

Cream left the room still trying to hide her blush

Sonic was concerned and went after her

"Here sweetie drink this" said vanilla handing him a cup of hot tea

She smiled at him

"So I can see my daughter has taken quite a liking to you" she said quietly

Tails nearly burned himself from spilling the hot tea

"W-What I dont know what you're tal-" tails started, but was hushed by vanilla

"You maybe able to fool your friend, but not me" she said smiling.

Tails Just sat there siping the tea

"That should help dear, Now you just rest, anything you need we will get you," she said leaving the room.

Tails POV:

What just happened there, she actually kissed me, but that means I really am in love with her, just as vanilla said, he looked down at his gloves,
I wonder where cream is, I should go find her... After I rest

Cream ran downstairs and locked herself in the bathroom

She looked in the mirror to see her entire face was Red now

"So I really do" she sighed

There was a knocking at the door

"Erm occupied" cream said

"Are you okay cream" asked sonic

"Uh yeah im fine" she lied

"Ok" said sonic, "just checking on ya" he sped off

Cream sighed and fell to the floor

Creams POV:

I can't belive I kissed him like that, what compelled me to do that she wondered, I should go find tails, and set things right! she said as she unlocked the door and went back upstairs.

Three hours later

Tails woke up feeling better than ever

Tails sat up and got out of bed, Ironicaly after the kiss he made a miraculous recovery.
He went to the door and turned the knob, Cream was standing on the otheer side

"Oh uh hey cream" tails stuttered

"H-hi" she said calmly slightly stuttering.

They stared into each others eyes again.

"Should we tell them?" asked tails

"It can wait" she said smilling at him

Meanwhile downstairs sonic was helping Vanilla bake cookies,
for tails when he got up, unaware he already was.

About Twelve minutes later.

"Sonic would you be a dear and take these cookies to tails and cream? she asked

"sure no problem" said sonic taking the platter

"I"ll be back in a sonic second" he said speeding off upstairs

Tails and cream sat together on the bed having a friendly chat.

The door swung open

"Hey Tails, cream I brought you some cooki-" he started but was stopped at what he saw.

They were both holding hands sitting on the bed,

They imediately pulled their hands away

Sonics POV:

Did I just see Tails and cream holding hands?, Well they are too young to think or know anyway, so its probably just a game they were playing, yeah thats probably it,

Sonic recalled the events not too long ago

Cream hugging tails

Their constant conversations

And how tails took that hit instead of...

Then it hit him

Tails liked Cream... more than a friend

He handed them the Platter of freshly baked cookies

"Uh cream could I speak to Tails privately?" asked sonic

cream nodded as she left the room.

"Whats the matter sonic" asked tails

sonic made a playful grin

"So I hear you and cream are more than friends huh?" said sonic

"W-what n-nno we I mean I uhhh" tails shook nervously

"Mhhm" said sonic

"Okay you got me" said tails finnaly giving in.

Sonic smirked evily

Tails looked up at him

"So tails you've got yourself a girlfriend" said sonic

Tails blushed

"No i dont" he quickly denied

"Oh whatever, you should tell cream goodbye.

Tails looked shocked, "what do you mean?" he asked

"Don't forget we are on a journey tails, we have gotta stop eggman and get the other emeralds" replied sonic

Tails was crushed...

The one he "loved" he now had to be seperated from, they headed out the door thanking Vanilla for everything as they headed out of topaz town.

Sonic looked over to see tails looking very down.

He wished he could cheer him up.

It was the same story for Cream...

She spent the rest of her time crying in her room.

Untill her mother came in, to comfort her

"whats wrong cream" she asked looking worried

She told her about having to have to leave tails and sonic

Vanilla pondered and then had an Idea.

Her chao buzzed around her

"You know what age I was when I started my adventures?" asked vanilla

"No" she whimpered

"Around your age" she replied

Cream looked up at her confused

She smiled

"What im saying is you should go with them" she explained

Cream was suprrised at her mothers response

"Are you sure, what if you need my help" she asked

"Don't worry dear, I can take care of myself.

Cream smiled

"The important thing is that you do what you want" she said

"Thanks mom" she embraced her one last time

She started to head out the door with a small handbag and her chao cheese

"Oh and cream" her mother called.

"Yes?" she turned around

"Good luck with tails" she said

Cream blushed as she ran out the door,

Vanilla closed it behind her.

She ran down the path as fast as her legs could carry her.

She spotted them walking towards the town Gates.

"Guys wait up" she shouted getting their attention

Tails sparked up again

"Uh hey cream, did you forget something" asked tails

she shook her head, "No I'm comming with you!" she nearly shouted.

"Tails frown suddenly turned into a smile "Really" he asked

"Yup" she said

"And I brought cheese" she added

"Oh good im starving" said sonic

Cream and tails both looked at each other and started laughing

Sonic did'nt understand why they were laughing

"No sonic, Her chao's name is cheese" he said trying to keep from laughing.

Sonic frowned at them as they continued on towards their next destination

Unknown to them they were being watched by a bat in a tree,

"Agent Rouge, have you tracked the status of the chaos emeralds?" asked a voice.

"Yes it seems they have two of them" she answered

"Follow them ans report their staus" said the voice

"Over and out" she replied.

"Well well well, looks like im not the only one searching for the emeralds" she said

"An agents work is never done" she smirked and flew off.
