Me: Guys, I am sooooooo sorry for not updating so soon. I reformatted my computer in an attempt to make it faster, and had to install drivers and stuff. It didn't make it any faster, though. My parents are planning on getting me a desktop computer. D: Aww, man! I can't move a desktop computer! Anyway, the reformat deleted all my story files. / I backed them up on a Flash drive, but I encrypted them, and back then I had Vista. I have XP now. I lost the flash drive, but even if I do find it, it probably won't make a difference, because I might not be able to decrypt the files. :O Anyway, Since my RTF document word limit has maxed out for some reason, I can now see just how long this will be when I publish it. :D
Tails: Zzzzzzzzzz...
Me: Hey Tails, I'm writing again.
Tails: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
Me: TAILS!!
Tails: Zzzz-Huhmunawhoozwat?
Me: Finally, you woke up! -Sigh- You REALLY have problems, don't you.
Tails: It's just that you haven't written a chapter in so long that I got bored and fell asleep.
Me: O RLY?
Tails: Don't start that.
Me: Dawww... So, are you getting erections yet?
Tails: WHAT!?
Me: xD

Chapter 7
Clever hedgehog and a confession
By Crysal
"I... Love you..." The orange vulpine said unknowingly, gaining the attention of the beautiful purple vixen next to him. She looked at him, and tilted her head in question.
"What was that?" She asked, making the kitsune snap back to his senses. He panicked, he needed to find a cover fast, or else she'll find out... Wait, find out what? He did not like her, so why would he say something like that? He didn't like girls yet!
"Ehm... Uhm... Err... I like them too!" He stuttered, relieved when he finally found an answer. The relief was short-lived, because he suddenly felt as if it would be better if she knew. He quickly shook out of it, and stared at the vixen's face, who was now looking questioningly at him. He smiled cutely, and she giggled, before going back to her sandwich-preparing. He continued to stare at her, unable to look away, like he really did love her... Did he...? Nah, not even possibly. He doesn't love her, and that's a fact. She's just a girl that he was mistakenly paired up with by his teasing big brother. Wait, if he didn't want her here, then he could ask her to leave, right? He immediately decided to try it.
"Tina, I need you to...G..." He said, a lump in his throat stopping him from finishing his sentence. He wanted her to leave, but another part of him wanted her to stay, like he wanted her there... No, he has to ask her to leave. "G...G...G..." He stuttered, still trying to swallow the lump in his throat. He felt like he couldn't ask her to leave, he felt like wanted her to stay and be with him, but he didn't want her getting the wrong idea. ...Is it really wrong?.. Of course it is, he didn't like girls!
"What? You need me to do what?" The purple vixen said, looking at the muscular kitsune cutely. He couldn't let her know... Know what? There's nothing! The orange kitsune tried his hardest to swallow the lump in his throat, pushing with all he had, but to no avail. He decided to do it another way.
"Tina, I need you to leave now. I have business with my Broth...er..." He said quickly, before the lump in his throat rose again, cutting off his last word. He suddenly felt regret for telling her to leave, but he couldn't let that stop him.
"Okay. I'll see you later, cutie!" She said sweetly, capturing the two-tailed vulpine with her sweet voice, before she handed him a plate with a sandwich on it, and quickly grabbed the other one and took it with her. The kitsune set the plate back on the table.
"Bye!" She said, opening the door. The kitsune suddenly felt strong regret for telling her to leave, and wanted to ask her back very badly, but he needed her out. As the sweet purple vixen skipped out the door, the orange vulpine couldn't help but notice her big, fluffy tail split in two for half a second, before rejoining. He rubbed his eyes, and took another look. Her big, fluffy tail was waving behind her again. The kitsune walked torwards the door, and closed it. He couldn't help but wonder...
"Hey bro, I see your done with your girlfriend!" He heard a voice behind him cheer, before he heard laughing. He whipped around, to see that the cobalt hedgehog was back, grinning with his eyes closed at him. He felt his cheeks get hot.

"She's not my girlfriend!!" The kitsune retorted, denying the hedgehog's assumption. He simply snickered in reply.
"Oh come on, I heard you roll the dice in there!" The blue hedgehog taunted, making the kitsune's blush deepen. Did the hedgehog really hear him say that? He hoped dearly that he didn't.
"Wh-What are you talking about?" The kitsune stuttered, trying to hide his embarrasment, unknowing of his tails laying on the ground.
"C'mon, I heard you do it. Don't play dumb with me, bro!" The hedgehog taunted, embarrasing the vulping even further. It was true, he did confess to the vixen, but it was only by accident!
"I'm not!!" The muscular vulpine yelled, waving his hands out in front of him. He did want her to come back, for a reason he did not know, or did not want to know...No, he didn't love her... Or did he? No, that couldn't be... But he felt as if he had just thrown away a big chunk of his heart, and he wanted it back. It was a subconcious feeling, and he wasn't really aware of it, yet he felt it so.
"Aww, don't you miss her?" The cerulean hedgehog asked, his teasing attitude magically vanishing, although he still had a big, stupid grin on his face. His face now held a questioning look, as if he wanted to know if the orange vulpine was feeling the same as he did, so to speak. The kitsune thought for a moment, unknowing of whether to admit he missed her, with an added "As a friend", or just admit that he likes her... Wait, just a friend. Yeah, just a friend. No love.
"I do miss her... But only as a friend." The hedgehog's grin got wider, his teasing attitude returning, before it just vanished completely, his ears now drooping. He hung his head.
"So... So you've found a new best friend?..." He whimpered, letting the kitsune know that he had hurt the hedgehog's friendship with him, but he couldn't help but see a glint in his eye. He immediately thought of taking it back, but he already said it, and the hedgehog would not let it go. Either he tells his brother he found a girlfriend, or their friendship would be hurt forever. The muscular kitsune's eye twitched, he was caught between a rock and a hard place. What was he to do?
"Sonic... No, You're still my best friend... She... She's just my..." The orange kitsune gulped. "Girlfriend..." He said, regretting it big time, but also knowing this was the only way.
"AH-HA!" The blue blur cheered, pointing at the kitsune's face, his cheerful attitude returning. He had tricked him! The kitsune felt like steaming, but his eye simply twitched. "I knew you liked her!" The kitsune opened his mouth, but no words could come out. He had just admitted his love for the purple vixen. The hedgehog had faked sadness to draw the kitsune in, and then trapped him, forcing him to admit his relationship with the purple fox. The kitsune sighed.
"Hey, I noticed something about her as she left..." The kitsune said, provoking an "Aww..." from the cobalt hedgehog.
"You like her..." The hedgehog cooed, making the kitsune shake his head.
"No, No, it's nothing like that! I think... She has..." The kitsune said, still unsure of the accuracy of the assumption he was about to make.
"Yes?" The hedgehog said, his face taking on a curious look. The kitsune inhaled.
"She has... Two tails..." The kitsune said breathily, suprising the hedgehog.
"Huh? Two tails, like you?" The cerulean hedgehog asked, as bamboozled as the orange kitsune at the subject.
"I don't know... I though I saw her tail split in two as she left. Well, her tail was a bit larger than normal." The kitsune said, referring back to that moment. It might have been his imagination, but then again, it might not have been. Does she really have two tails?
"Well, if she does have two tails, then I guess she's the perfect girlfriend for you!" His brother teased, bringing up the girlfriend subject again.
"...She's really cute..." The kitsune said, twiddling his fingers, a small smile on his face. He loved the way she moved, and laughed, and everything about her. She was... just perfect...
"Is she? Man, you must really like her. So, you want me to invite her back tomorrow?" The hedeghog offered. The lovestruck fox was about to object, wanting to do it himself, but he might choke, so he just nodded.
"I love her, Sonic." The kitsune admitted, too distracted by his love for her to be shy about it. The hedgehog simply smiled and nodded.
He couldn't wait until tomorrow.

Well, that was short. I think. Anyway, my newly-accurate scroll bar says this chapter is about 2 1/3 pages long. Sorry about the shortness, but this was just a good place to make a breakpoint.
Tails: ...WHY DID YOU DO THAT!?
Me: Because the readers probably want you to. :D
Tails: -Steaming- YOU LITTLE ASSHOLE!! I'M GOING TO GET YOU FOR THIS-
Me: -Holds up a picture of Tina-
Tails: ...
Me: I know you like her. Everyone here does. Anyway, each chapter is going to have two parts from now on. A part about your love for Tina, and a part about your steriods deal.
Tails: ...
Me: Tails?
Tails: ...
Me: -Puts the picture away-
Tails: -YOU ABUSIVE PIECE OF SH-
Me: -Tapes a picture of Tina onto Tails' face-
Me: That should shut him up for a while. Well, see you next chapter!
