Chapter 6: Tails' Dilemma: Part 1
(Tails' POV)
I woke up this morning to the sounds of an orchestra being my alarm, and the video of a concert playing the song against my wall across the room like a screen without projection, I snooze it with the button on my nightstand and go back to sleep. That's how I also watch TV in my room but Sonic doesn't know that. Sometimes I keep some of my inventions to myself. And it's a secret to how I can hook up to the cable.
And you know what other secrets I've kept from my best friend from all these years. The one big secret, that started only a few years while ago. The secret I've kept so long that its killing me inside. Secrets, things best friends shouldn't keep from each other. I wish there was a time I could go back to where I had the chance to tell it to him. You wanna know what it is? Sure I'll tell you, it'll probably lift up the load. Yeah thing is, I like Sonic. Okay there I said it, just in here, not out there. Well okay then, maybe today will be the day. I always promised I'd tell him but I never get the courage to do so. I usually wait, then nothing happens, and I just waste my time. I mean I've kept it so hard and no one's even noticed anything, which may or may not be good. UUGGGHH! It's killing me really bad, eating me apart, and mocking me!
Plus today is my birthday and Sonic's coming over to spend the whole day with me as he usually does on my birthday. Great, the third year I won't get to tell him but now I'm reconsidering. Okay I know I always promised it but this time I am really gonna do something. Gonna push myself to do it.
The first thing I'm gonna push myself to do is get up. Mornings with me are not pretty sometimes. I got to the bathroom across the hallway and open the window. I flinch and squint my eyes at the bright light, my pupils adjusting to the daylight. I walked back to the double sink and go to the one nearest to the door. I always use that one; I don't quite remember why I installed two. Maybe in case I had guests over and two were in the bathroom at the same time. I'm not sure. I brushed my teeth real good to be shiny clean but it doesn't change as much it's just a tiny bit darker shade of white like approximately 0.009% yellowish. My teeth are white no matter what, but not shiny as the reflection of the sun off glass or metal.
I stop brushing and lean over the sink to spit and turn on the faucet, cupping my hands and holding it under the flow of water. I bring it up to my mouth and sip it but I don't swallow. I swish it in my mouth, the tap water going through my mouth picking up any residue of toothpaste. I lean over once again to spit. I come up straight and look at my reflection in the mirror and smile. Shiny. I take the towel hanging on the holder on the wall and wipe my mouth and wipe my hands.
I now walk to the kitchen and fix myself up breakfast. My mind is still a little groggy so I took a long time to get down stairs. As I walk down my head hangs looking towards the ground watching my step. And as I hit the last step I get surprised by sounds of kazoos and noisemakers. I flinch and fall on the stairs making my but sit on the first step of the staircase.
"SURPRISE!" Sonic, Knuckles, and Amy jump out and I just sit there still in surprise.
"Happy Birthday Tails!" my face has my mouth agape with a smile at the same time and my brows up making me look happy now.
"Hey why you sitting down for?" Sonic said first, ahhh his voice so collected and calming, carefree. I noticed my mouth open so I closed it and gave a cute smile. I'm so little young at age yet old. Let's just say I'm at the stage where adults say "I'm looking for my identity." My face is always cute as always no matter how old I get, it just doesn't change.
"Well why don't I give you a hand." Sonic reached out his hand and I quickly grab it without hesitation.
"Thanks guys for this." I said beaming my smile at Sonic and glance back at Amy and Knuckles.
"Oh it's nothing." Amy said obviously flattered.
"I mean it's not like everyday you get a breakfast made by your friends." Knuckles gave a grin and a wink.
"Knuckles! That was supposed to be a surprise later." She wasn't made but it ruined the surprise for me.
"It's okay guys, I'm still surprised no matter."
"Then why don't we eat? I skipped out breakfast getting all these things this morning and getting Amy and Knuckles wake up early." We all shared a laugh and Amy and Knuckles walked into the kitchen preparing the table and the rest of what's on the stove.
"You did this all by yourself?"
"Hey I wanted to mix it up this time." Heh thanks Sonic.
~*SS*~
We finished our breakfast of omelet and hash brown. And by the taste I could tell it was Amy's. I stood up to get everyone's plates but Knuckles instead told me to sit and he'd take care of it.
"No it's your birthday, I got it."
"Thanks." He walked over to the kitchen sink and placed the used plates there and washed it over with water and put in the dishwasher.
"So Tails, ya ready for a whole day of Sonic?" Sonic said nudging me with his elbow.
"Sonic, I'm pretty sure I'm ready for anything you do."
"Kay then, go get ready fix your fur and stuff."
"Sure thing." I ran up the stairs to my room again and took my brush and started brushing my fur especially atop my head. Although those bangs I have never ever go down so I just left it being frustrated for a second and now it just hangs above my forehead in a style similar to Amy's but thinner. She doesn't seem to notice all the time. I made my bed after all the shenanigans with my fur.
I walked down the stairs and Amy and Sonic were sitting on the couch ad they were talking about something. I couldn't hear what about and I didn't care as I walked closer they bothe stood up and stopped their conversation as if they were done mingling.
"Well, I'll catch you guys around." Amy said already walking towards the door. "I gotta go to work. Bye!" She walked off as she waved to us and got in her car. She started its engines and went away to Empire City.
"Okay are you now ready to have a whole afternoon with me?" Sonic said his stance with his hand on his hip and his waist weighing down more on one side making the following leg bent a little bit.
"I'm always ready Sonic… How can I not?" I said with slight sarcasm on my face.
We both ran towards as if to race each other but apparently Sonic won. So he opened the door and sprinted to the sidewalk in front of the house and I just kept running to the doorway and when I got there I looked at Sonic and I kinda blushed a little but unnoticeable, I hope; I scoffed and rolled my eyes because he always does this.
"Soooo…. Where do ya wanna go?" He seemed to put emphasis on the 'so'.
"Umm… I'm not sure…" Really I don't know anywhere to go on my birthday. Most times we stay in the house and Sonic just helps me around the house. "How 'bout we do this. You could take me to where you wanna go to."
"Okay sure hop on." He crouched to my level and I jumped on his back wrapping his neck with my arms. "And I want you to close your eyes until we get there, kay?" I obediently closed my eyes as if my life depended on it. "Now hold on tight!" Sonic blasted off as his name implies it and we pass the speed of a jet airplane but just as equal as the X-Tornado. I hear bustling streets and tapping of stone, and the smell of bread and spaghetti meaning we just passed by Spagonia. Now I feel wet and I hear the tapping of water so I'm guessing we are in the ocean. You know I should stop trying to guess where we are and enjoy the time of how close I am to Sonic. A smile creeps upon my face and I nuzzle my head into the crevice of my best friend's neck on his side. His fur is so soft.
"We are here!" Sonic screeches on the heels of his shoes. I wonder if his shoes ever wear out, he always does that. I jump off of his back my eyes still closed and I stand still. "Keep your eyes closed we are nearly there." He grabs my hand and I blush looking away from him if I could because I'm blushing. Sonic walks to the place and he leads me and warns me if I have to swing my leg over or turn or if he pulls me before I walk into something. My blush has died down and I look forward? I'm still unsure. From far away I might even look like I'm blind, sure enough.
"Okay, you can open your eyes now." I follow and we are standing at the top of the waterfall overlooking a huge lake with a forest around it. Possibly we might be in Adabat but I'm unsure. I stare my mouth agape in awe and I turn around to see a house? Its so tiny like a cabin and its kinda cute too. It looks like I can fit a small kitchen a living area a bedroom and a full bath. But I'd rather go down to the waterfall's base and wash up there. It's so pretty here and the trees behind the house make as if it's like the shade or something. I don't know but it's cute.
"This is where you live? I thought you don't have a house or live anywhere." I'm still in amazement as we walk down a hill to the base of the waterfall. He's still holding my hand… I wonder if he knows… As hike downhill our hands say back and forth the same as couples do but as best friends. I just love this birthday!
"Not technically." I almost trip and Sonic attempts to catch me but I raise my hand saying that I'm okay. "I actually built this place about couple of years ago, and I usually come here to think. That's usually why you guys don't see me around. Other times I'm just around the world." I start to kick pebbles down the incline and Sonic copies me as he talks and I listen. Occasionally I nod my head, letting him know I'm listening. "I'm not sure when I did but it took me a short time to build it. I used the some of the forest's trees for the logs. And I got the rest… well, in the city." He chuckles. My rock kicks ahead of his and Sonic kicks a little bit farther. My eyes focused on the rocks and our hands still swaying and entwined in each other's. "Race ya down." Sonic said turning towards me.
"But you're gonna win of course." I turn my head and look up.
"Well, yeah so I guess that's not an option." Our heads look at the ground again and we resume kicking our rocks. "Wanna just keep walking?"
"Sure."
~*SS*~
The view at the base is amazing, too. The waterfall's mist sprays around almost everywhere and I can feel it now very soothing and calm. I'd really want to take a shower under the waterfall than the shower.
"Sonic it's really nice here" We let go our grip and our hands go limp and fall as if we nefver even held hands.
"You know, that's probably the third time you said that."
"No, that was the second time." I corrected him.
"Well whatever time it was let's just relax."
"That's all you do here?"
"That's all I ever do whenever I don't have to save the world." We stopped underneath a what I think is an oak tree?
"Right, cuz I always see you on the rooftop of my house whenever you stay over." I wagged my finger and snapped it in realization or remembrance.
"Yeah I always do that, cuz I always relax. Got the picture now?" Sonic said poking his head with his finger, signifying my mind.
"Sure I do…" I said sarcastically as I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms over my chest.
"Why don't we sit?" He already sat down and I put my palms behind me and I brought my body down to the ground slowly. Since my palms were facing the ground it would help me balance as I get to the floor level.
Sonic lay back with his hands behind him holding half of his body up so he can face straight ahead and not towards the sky. I, on the other hand, was sitting cross-legged with my hands on my lap and my back straight with my eyes closed and my chest moved in and out showing that I'm breathing slowly and calmly.
"What are you doing?" Sonic focused on me in the vein of not knowing what I'm doing.
"Oh, I'm meditating; it's how I relax sometimes, well rarely anyways." I opened my eyes and faced him then closed it and turned my head back. "Wanna try it?"
"Oh sure." I stopped meditating and I turned towards Sonic and told him to face me, too.
"Sit like me." Sonic sat cross-legged now and I took his wrists and I placed them on his lap. "Now just relax as you always do. So breathe in, and out. Breathe slow and steady and keep that pace. No close your eyes and imagine you are on cloud nine, the softest cloud of all." The breeze of the wind from the mountains and the mist from the waterfall encircles and passes through us. "Let's try this for a minute. I know you can do it."
Sonic's eye dart open. "What, I have to at least shift."
"Well in meditating try to stay still."
"You know I'm not good in staying still very long."
"Well let's just try. So close your eyes."
"Okay." Sonic closes his eyes and repeats the process again, this time without my voice.
A minute passes by and Sonic has been still and quiet the whole time. Or so I thought.
"That was relaxing wasn't it Sonic?" I didn't hear any response. "Sonic?" I open my eyes to find that Sonic had lied down on the grass and had fallen asleep. He doesn't snore; he never snores. But I bet it would be cute if he did. I sigh and I go down to the lake just a few feet away from the tree. I cupped my hands and scoop up water and I walk back to Sonic and I splash it on his face.
"Huh? Who? What? Where?" Sonic babbled as his shock of waking up hit him. "Did you just throw water at my face?" I nod with big eyes and a smile on my face still cupping my hands together. "You are gonna pay for that!" I run towards the lake again and Sonic follow suit. I splash in the water and Sonic just jumps in a splashes me more. I scream and I grab water again and splash it in his face. He turns his head away to keep water from his eyes and we do this for a while. I graze my hand over the water making it jump from the surface into the air spraying Sonic.
~*SS*~
Both of us are now soaking wet but we are still playing in the lake. Sonic runs up to me and I attempt to run away. But to no avail he catches me. He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me back. The effect of that caused us to fall into the water, my chance to run away again. But he still catches me, this time I get squeezed harder to make sure I don't escape. I scream as he pulls me out of the water and spins. My dangling feet sweeps on the water as we swirl. After some time, Sonic put me back down in the water.
"Dude you are soaking wet." Sonic says pointing at me as we stand in the water.
"You, too hog." I state.
"Touché" Sonic retorts. "C'mon," Sonic gestures. "Let's go dry off."
We get out of the water and start our trek to the top of the hill to the cabin.
yeah soooo this was really long and it has 3 chapters in one. Yeah I'm bad in planning things…
Sonic- so what now
Dude can you like dry off first before you get in the convo room? Your wetting the carpet.
Sonic- It's still getting clean though.
Whatevs just go dry off first.
Sonic- Kay then… R&R peeps!
