First off, before I start this chapter, I want to thank each and every one of you who submitted OCs and the like just for me ! I feel so special…:) You guys have topped my reviews even higher than Mario and Sonic, which is, like, my longest story. A very, very special thank you to Yosep, who created an OC JUST for this purpose! I have contacted the person who's submission I ended up using, but once again, I thank every single one of you. Please keep reading my fan fics and reviewing those stories! It's you guys that I write for.

Now, on with chapter…8, I think?

Tails collapsed into his office chair that was sitting nearby his computer desk. It had been a long flight back from Toledo, but at least Cream was finally out of his hair.

Suddenly, his phone rang, which greatly surprised him. He picked up and spoke into the receiver, "Hello?"

"Yes, Tails, this is Espio."

Tails gulped as he suddenly remembered that Cream was supposed to be in Beijing right now, living it up with Espio. The fox rubbed the back of his head. "Uh, yeah, hey there."

"May I ask where Cream may be at the moment?" the chameleon asked with a spark of irritation in his voice. Tails fidgeted with a random piece of paper on the computer desk.

"Well, there's a funny story behind this…she's in Toledo. With Charmy."

"CHARMY?!" Espio bellowed, then immediately hung up.

Tails stared at the phone for a brief moment before slowly hanging it up. That wasn't important right now. He began dialing up his internet connection and waited for his rather advanced computer to get connected to the internet. Stupid dial up, he thought harshly as Google took 5 seconds to load.

Without pausing, the fox logged onto eHarmony and poised his mouse over the log in screen. Who should he try to ship away next? Would it be Marine or Cosmo? Well, as he had decided before, he wanted to wait as long as possible to try to drag Marine on a moving object. Cosmo would be next.

Tails quickly logged in as Cosmo and checked her watchers. He was, in fact, very surprised to find that one of the watchers was named 'TwinTailsGenius'. Curious, he clicked on the profile, and much to his surprise, he found that it was Miles, the anti version of himself!

He wasted no time to connect to a chat.

Entering chat: Cosmic_Gyrl

Cosmic_Gyrl: Hey baby.

TwinTailsGenius: What the…? Tails, I know that's you.

Tails stopped dead over the keyboard. How the heck did Miles know it was him??

TwinTailsGenius: Look, you think I didn't notice when Fiona hooked up with Scourge? I'm not stupid, and it would take only a genius to make those two talk to each other. Well, an idiotic genius, but a genius all the same.

Cosmic_Gyrl: Fine, you caught me. What do you want? Why are you watching Cosmo's profile?

TwinTailsGenius: Because…maybe I think she's hot.

Tails almost had a coronary as he busted out laughing. It was hard for him to type around the giggles.

Cosmic_Gyrl: Thays teh sthugpicsnt thngls Ibr ever hefrd!! (A/N Translation: That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard)

TwinTailsGenius: Stop laughing and type legibly!

Cosmic_Gyrl: Sorry. So why the heck do you think I would hand over someone so innocent to a bad guy like you?

TwinTailsGenius: 'Bad Guy'? Weren't you paying attention to Fiona? I'm not with Scourge anymore.

Cosmic_Gyrl: You're not??

TwinTailsGenius: Of course not. I refused to work for Mammoth Mogul, as did the rest of the Anti-Freedom Fighters. And 'bad guy' isn't what I am, it's what I do.

Tails stared at the screen for a moment. He wasn't exactly sure how to respond to that.

TwinTailsGenius: Besides, I feel for you. I've never had many… "Fan Girls", but I have lots of experience with annoying. If you would like to work together, I'll tell you my plan.

Cosmic_Gyrl: OK, shoot.

TwinTailsGenius: OK…we're going to rendezvous somewhere. Once that happens, you will lead Cosmo through a giant crowd. She will get lost, and the first twin-tailed fox she sees will be yours truly. Afterwards, I will offer to help her get back home, but she will fall in love with me and never want to go back!

Cosmic_Gyrl: Fall in love? How can you guarantee?

TwinTailsGenius: I have my ways…(cackles evilly)

Tails thought for a moment about Miles' plan. It DID make sense, and it would get Cosmo off his back. He wasn't sure exactly how Cosmo would 'fall in love' with his anti, but apparently she would. Well, why not?

Cosmic_Gyrl: OK, you have yourself a deal.

TwinTailsGenius: Excellent. Where do you want to meet?

Cosmic_Gyrl: Somewhere far away, where you'll have lots of time.

TwinTailsGenius: How about Casino Night? There are always lots of people there playing the slots.

Cosmic_Gyrl: OK, sounds good. I will see you then.

Cosmic_Gyrl has disconnected from chat server.

Tails logged off the internet and leaned back in his chair. Man, was he skeptic about this whole thing. I mean, this was MILES he was talking about. Would he really take care of Cosmo and treat her right?

The fox thought back to when they were in space and how upset he was to sacrifice her life for the planet. Would he really want to give her away to Miles?

Then Tails thought harder, and realized that Miles was born in his image. He would at least have SOME of the same personality (although he hadn't seen it displayed yet). He would just have to trust that Cosmo would be fine in his hands.

He picked up the phone and dialed Cosmo's number. She answered on the first ring.

"Hey, Cosmo," Tails greeted. "Yeah, you remember how I said I was taking everyone on a little adventure?"

"I remember," Cosmo replied. Then her voice perked up. "Are you taking me somewhere?"

"Yup," Tails answered. "In fact, we're going to Casino Night!"

There was a pause on the other end, and Tails wondered if he had said something wrong. "Actually, I've never gambled," Cosmo said, her voice becoming a little worried.

Tails chuckled. "Nah, it's easy. Besides, if you don't wanna play the slots, we can just get some food."

"Alright then," Cosmo said happily. "What time are you picking me up?"

"Tonight, around 4 so we can get there at 6," Tails responded, taking into account that Station Square was two hours away from Casino Night.

"Sounds good. I will see you tonight." Then Cosmo hung up.

As Tails leaned back in the chair again, he glanced at his computer. This WAS Miles he was talking about. The super genius who had, at least at one point, worked with one of the most evil villains on Mobius—or Moebius, as it's called.

What would happen tonight was anyone's guess.

Yikes! Miles! Thanks so much to MasterMetallix (did I spell that right?) for suggesting that. I hadn't even really thought about anyone but Tails ever going with Cosmo, but after he said that, I got the best idea for this chapter. And yes, I know I'm two days late, but my weekend excursion turned into a mid-week excursion. But it's here now! Please tell me what you thought.
