Tails' Unjust Karma

Chapter 11

Tails awoke again, back in his normal furry body. He wasn't the least excited. He knew it was just a dream; another lucid dream created by his roboticized body.

He heard sounds of someone rustling. He got out of his bed and walked to the kitchen. There was Sonic making chili dogs.

"Hey buddy! Breakfast is served."

"Sonic, I don't want to see you now."

Sonic vanished into the air. Leaving Tails alone in the kitchen. His nose picked up the scent of boiling chili on the stove. Even though Tails no longer required food his dream belly rumbled.

"Well maybe these lucid dreams aren't so bad."

A grin came over his face.

"Well free food is free food; even if it is, just a dream."

Tails felt like forever has passed since his last chili dog.

"I'll test the chili first. I bet it's the perfect flavor."

Tails leaned over the pot. The smells of the fumes boiling up was divine. Without restraint he dipped his face in to guzzle it down.

As soon as his head dunked under he could feel the overheated chili scorch his flesh. He fell back flat on the ground screaming as blisters and boils rose up and popped on his face.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH. WWHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYY"

Tails awoke on the ground in his work shop back in his metal body. He pounded his fist so hard to the floor it made a hole. He started pacing furiously.

"Why… why… why…why…why,why,why,why,why?"

Then he heard someone outside. They were at the door. The door creaked as it opened.

It was Sonic!
