Well... here we are, one big filler chapter. That is... exciting, riveting, breathtaking. Then again, maybe not. I am finally back though, you know... On the bright side... Or not.
...
I could see the world distort, change, then reform back into my home right in front of me. There it was, the place I had been missing for those last few weeks, my house! I was about to smile and walk inside when something crashed into me. It was not too big, probably my size, and it softly knocked me to the ground. I landed with a muffled, "Whooof!".
I looked up to see Blaze, who appeared to be holding her head in an attempt to keep the world from spiraling around. It seems that Evan's little stunt caused her to carry some momentum through the Chaos control. Something I had always been told as extremely disorienting.
Once Blaze cleared her vision, she gave me a good look and spoke. "Wh-what happened? I thought I was staying with my father." She said drowsily.
"Your father actually gave you a shove into me as I was initiating Chaos Control. That's how you ended up here." I explained. "At least that is what I noticed in that split/second before we left."
"I think I remember being given a shove..." Blaze said. "Why did he do that?"
"I am not entirely sure Blaze. I am guessing he thought you wanted to come with me. He might have thought that it would be best if you came here, not including what you thought... But I think he just wanted to keep you safe. He must have sensed that some wild shtuff would be going down in that zone in a short while the same way I did..." I said slowly.
"What do you think will happen?"
"You never know with Mogul, it usually involves multiverse take-over..." I said. "Which will involve us in a few months anyways when he believes he is strong enough... I mean, he does not have a Chaos emerald right now."
"Heh, Not with my father there..." Blaze said, sounding quite sure of it. "Not only does he play a mean game of chess, but he can fight pretty good as well."
"Yes... now, you wanna get off me please?" I said, smirking rather smugly. I did not feel like discussing any problems right now, a guy can take a break right? Blaze gave me a look on her face that said, "Fine!". Then she got up off me.
"Not enjoying my company?" Blaze questioned. She turned her head away over-zealously, and crossed her arms; I could tell she was playing.
"I love your company, but somethings need to be reserved for certain times of the day. That one takes place between 9 and 11 PM." I said, smiling playfully.
"What, never in the midafternoon?" She responded back just as playfully. "Exercise for working up an appetite." She added. The extra comment made me smirk a little more, maybe I felt my face get warm too.
"Let me check my schedule..."
"Would you two shut it. Stop flirtin' already, its annoying." Marine whined. I completely forgot we brought her back as well. Based on the look that Blaze had, it seems she forgot as well.
"Sorry Marine." I said, shrugging my shoulders. "I am sure you would like to know where things are around here though. Wouldn't you? How about a tour of Prower Manor?" I said, posh accent and TRYING to be a little funny.
"That was hilarious Tails."
"I know." I responded, its your choice for who told me my joke was funny.
So over the next couple hours I gave the girls a tour of my house. Blaze was still not quite fully familiar with it and Marine had no idea what or where anything was. Though Marine did seem to take a more extreme interest in my hanger and all the goodies in there. Though she did explain in response that her heart was with the seas, not the skies...
Then there was Sonic, Amy, and the rest of my friends that where here. I think I should call Sonic and tell him I'm fine... He must've expected my return because my house is in perfect condition, none of my stuff has been hacked on BidBay...
... Later that day, at Tails house.
"Tails! Oh my gosh! Are you OK? Where the hell did you go anyways? You have been gone for weeks! And you missed your airshow you wanted to compete in so badly! What happened?" Sonic shouted, very concerned over the phone. "You know what, screw this!" I heard the click of him hanging up, then a knock on my front door. Of course. Just the kind of stunt that only Sonic could do.
I walked through the dining room to the front door and opened it with a smile. Before I could even see Sonic I was smashed in a tight man-hug.
"Sonic!" I breathed. "Quills!" They REALLY hurt!
"Sorry Tails." He said, letting go quickly. "You have to tell me where you were! And how you got home!"
"Well it was certainly nothing like your year long journey through space." I smiled.
"It was only a few weeks for me though. So its practically the same! I'm just glad your not dead. So...What exactly happened anyways?" Sonic asked.
I told him where we went, how we got there, and how we got back. There were a few details from Blaze and Marine that I did not know but I knew the gist of what they did. So I explained every bit of what happened to me. Everything from the Sol emerald taking us there to Jen and what we made there. All the way till we left.
"That is quite the story... So your going back in about a month?" Sonic asked.
I nodded. "Yes, that is what I told Blaze's father I would do. It would only be fair if I followed through with it. I wish him luck finding his spouse."
"Speaking of which, why didn't you help him out with that?" Sonic inquired.
"I would have been counterproductive. You know the zone cops right?" I said. He nodded.
"Yipes! They are no fun to get in trouble with." Sonic responded.
"Exactly, and if you pay enough attention. They actually take inventory of a zone's people every year. They were about to take inventory of this zone tomorrow. And if they found I was not here, or dead. Well..." I reasoned. "I would have been a target, and with Blaze and her friends around me, they might have been too."
"I see..." Sonic said, looking down. He seemed to be thinking.
"So... How have things been with Blaze?" Sonic asked, smirking playfully.
"A-alright..." How did he know that we were starting to get into each other?
"Don't act so surprised, I saw the way you two looked at each other!" He said, his smile getting bigger. I felt my face starting to warm up, this was embarrassing.
"Please Sonic, your making me flustered. Stop it."
"I was right! You two do have something going on. Don't you?" He kept pressing. I looked at the ground so he could not see how red my face must have been.
"Relax Sonic, its not like she's expecting a litter." I said, steeling myself.
"She might..."
"First of all. We never made love. Second of all, well there is no second of all. But my point is that we are not that serious." I said, trying to make him shut-up. Then an idea popped into my head. "So how did that movie go? You know, the one with Amy." I said, smirking again.
Sonic took a step back. "None of your business."
"You just were making my business yours, I believe you should return the favor."
"Fine. The movie was... Nice. She has grown up a lot." Sonic said. Then realized why I was smirking the way I was, that statement had a double meaning. "But nothing li-
I cut him off. "Sure Sonic, whatever you say." I said, being slightly dismissive of that last statement he said. "Your personal life is none of MY business..."
"You're right, it is not any of your business. That is why you should stop." Sonic said, he was getting annoyed the same way I was. I smirked back at him; he apparently just had an epiphany after looking at me quizzically for a few seconds. "Oh, sorry Tails."
"Listen Sonic, uhh, how are my parents doing? They alright?" I asked Sonic. I have not seen my parents in a while, not since the last time I went to New Mobotropolis. Which was… A couple months ago? I had been having a lot of business lately and have not been able to see the place.
"They are very worried." Sonic said. "I think you should go talk to them." He then smirked. "And bring Blaze, you don't have their approval yet."
"Ya ya. I was planning on introducing them anyways. Are they busy today at all?" I asked back. Sonic knew better since he lived with everybody in New Mobotropolis. While I was a little bit by myself out here near Mystic Ruins.
"I was actually just talking to them today on my way to see Amy." Sonic started. "They told me that if I was not busy they would enjoy the company for dinner. They also said I could bring my family. I unfortunately had to turn them down because I have plans tonight."
"So they are open for tonight?" I asked.
"Ya. I feel bad about turning them down. It sounded like they wanted the company." Sonic said, frowning a little.
"Alright, don't tell them where I am and that I am home. I want to surprise them tonight." I said, smiling in response. "Don't feel bad Sonic. You deserve to have your own time after all you have done.
"Thanks little-bro." Sonic said brightly. He ruffled my hair as well, which I quickly patted back into place.
"Alright Sonic. I guess unless you want to hang around for a while I will see you later." I said, still trying to push he hair on my head back into place.
"Well, I need to go to the grocery store." Sonic said. "But I would like to see how Blaze is doing."
"Alright, why not? We also brought her friend Marine along too. I'll introduce you." I said. If my memory serves me right, then they are in the hanger. And I hope that Marine is not messing with my stuff in there too much. "Follow me."
"Where to? We can race!" Sonic said, bubbling with excitement. I sighed. Those few weeks had interrupted my workout schedule. My tails did need a stretch. But I decided against it, I might sprain something trying to race without my regular stretch schedule being interrupted.
"Sorry Sonic, but I might hurt myself. I had my workout schedule interrupted, as you can imagine." I said to Sonic. He said it was alright and soon we started for my hanger…
…
"Blaze! Your cobber Tails is a heck of a fella! Look at all this STUFF!" Marine said excited, looking in the hanger at all the planes. In one corner he had his series of a planes all lined up nice and pretty like. Each of them shined to a bright finish. Although the original one on the far left was a dope/fabric plane so it did not have a shine. But it did sport a sharp paint scheme of red, silver and yellow. The next two sported a red and silver scheme with an aluminum skin and a rocket or something of some sort right under the landing gear. The side of it said "Sonic" In silver bold italics.
Then the next one looked like some sort of X winged plan with a blue and orange scheme. It appeared to have collected dust over the years and instead of traditional wheels it had skis and a propeller in the back.
Then the next one was a biplane, it sported a machine gun behind the main prop up front and a blue, orange and yellow trim scheme. It featured a double tailed emblem of some sort on the tail section. It reminded me of Tails' tails. I smiled at the similarity.
Then there was another X winged plane. But it was bigger than the rest and had a huge jet engine in the back. It was silver with a red nose piece and a few red trim pieces. Mostly around the ends of the jet engines.
After this there was a plane with the same scheme as the last biplane. But it was a monowing plane and had the wings in a configuration where the first third swept upward, then they swept down for the rest. Kind of like a large bird. It was also a jet. Closer to the hanger doors was the plane I remembered, the Hurricane. Which was a monowing sport aerobatic plane.
Footsteps interrupted my observation. I turned my head, now ignoring Marine raving about how cool the place was. So there was Tails standing in the door way at the far left hand side of the hanger, he also had that spiny blue fellow with him too… Sonic.
"Hi Tails, was wondering what was taking you so long. I see your phone call with Sonic led to a visit?" I inquired. Tails gave a nod in response, and a wink. I smiled and walked toward him.
"Hey Blaze. How was your interdimensional trip?" Sonic asked when I got a little closer. I turned my head to see Marine smelling a rag that sat on a workbench in the distance. Her face grew disgusted and she dropped it back on the workbench.
"It was nice." I responded. He noticed where I was looking and glanced the same way. "That's Marine, she's a little… strange."
"So… HOW nice was your trip?" He inquired further. It took me a second to see what he was getting at. I decided this might be a fun game to play and participated. I swayed closer to Tails and ran a finger up his chest, which he immediately blushed from.
"Lets just say it was… Very nice." I said, a slight swoon in my voice. Tails shivered slightly as I leaned against him.
"Wha-what are you doing Blaze?" He said, stuttering slightly. Tails was so cute when he was embarrassed. I leaned my head in to whisper into his ear.
"I'm just playing Tails. How would Sonic react if he thought we got busy on our adventure?" I said. He still seemed hesitant, but then decided to play along as well. He did seem distressed about me whispering in his ear though.
"I thought you said… Wait, who am I kidding, Tails, your like 15. Don't rush a relationship. I personally know what bad can happen." Sonic said to Tails.
"She's just playing. Don't make me get the spray bottle Blaze." Tails said, I hissed at him in response. Wait, I hissed? How very… cat-like.
"I swear I didn't mean to do that!" I said, shaking my hands in front of me in a defensive manner. Tails smirked. Oh no…
"So you can hiss? That must mean you can make all the cat noises. I haven't heard a meow or a purr from you." Tails nudged playfully. I couldn't help it, my face began to heat up.
"Like you'll get one out of me." I said, turning my head defensively.
"Oh I will." He whispered into my ear. His warm breath stimulating the fur around my ear. My face just continually got even warmer. Perhaps I should not have done that to him. It was simply torture.
"Stop it Tails. You're making me…" I stopped to think of the proper phrasing. Either route seemed to submissive and unlike me. Either way seemed to make me look weak.
"Making you what Blaze?" Tails whispered into my ear again. Oh my god… I had to think of something to say before I let out a lustful sound of some sort. God forbid a meow. Oh god that would be so embarrassing…
Ahh, I found the right thing to say. "Please Tails, not in front of everyone." I said, struggling to keep my voice straight.
Tails immediately stopped. "Sorry for putting you in that situation." He apologized.
I caught my breath and responded, by whispering in his ear. Except this time I motioned I was going to do it and it was not heavily breathed out. "Maybe I wouldn't mind too much, but please not in front of everyone. Sorry for putting you in a similar situation."
"Are you two done?" Sonic said. Tails and I turned our heads. He was looking at us awkwardly with a raised eyebrow. Tails nodded and I also did soon after.
"'Ay Tails!" Marine shouted from across the hanger. She was running a hand down the side of the blue and orange biplane. Tails went over at her side to see what she wanted. I also followed. Sonic, seeing where we were going followed as well. Once we were all close to Marine, she started to ask a question. "Do you still fly these?"
"Of course. Some more than others. But they are all flyable right now if the need arose. Why?" Tails responded.
"I wanna fly in one! That'd be peaches!"
"Excuse me? Oh, I see. Sure, why not, but not now. I have chores to catch up on." Tails said, he turned and walked out of the hanger. Then stopped halfway and turned back toward us. "I am going to my parents house to see them tonight, I am sure they would not mind seeing Blaze or Marine. So you two are invited."
That was surprising. "And So-"
Tails quickly cut me off. "He already turned them down, he's goin' on a-
Then Sonic cut him off with his gloved hand over Tails mouth. "Please Tails."
"Suite yourself." Tails shrugged his shoulders and turned around. Then walked out of the hanger. Once Sonic was sure he was out of earshot, or at least it seemed that way. He spoke up.
"Meet me at Uncle Chuck's diner tonight. Got it?" Sonic said. We both shrugged our shoulders.
"Where's that?" I asked.
*Sigh... "I'll just come get you then, how's that?" Both Marine and I hesitated. "I'm throwing a welcome home party for Tails. His parents will be there, his friends, and I was hoping you two."
"Alright..." I said, then looked at Marine.
"It sounds ripper!" Marine said excitedly. Sonic raised an eyebrow in response.
"She says it sounds like fun." I sighed.
"Aye, that's what I said." Marine retaliated. Apparently unaware of her making up phrases or whatever she does.
"Alright... Well, here's the deal-y-o, I will swing by around 6ish. Tails should be gone by 5:30, he is pretty punctual. When I get by we will head to the city where Tails parents live and meet him at Uncle Chucks Diner around 6:30. Now, I gotta go. I don't stay in one place for long!" Sonic winked and blasted out the door faster than what should be possible. The low pressure area in his wake caused all my fur to fly forward and get all frazzled. I huffed and started to push it down while Marine giggled, lucky short fur girl...
...
Tails POV.
...
I had to check my email first, god only knows how many orders I have right now. By orders I mean people that need something fixed or something built. I did have a small business going on where I sold various models of my airplanes. I currently sold the Tornado I, Tornado II, and the Winged Victory. They were available as barebone kits. Which I preferred cause it just meant machining the parts and throwing them in a box for CPS. (Connected Postal Service). I still had to program some stuff in CAD for my new Hurricane. Which was another model I wanted to sell. But on average I only sold a few kits per year. And I could only put out a few kits per year. It was even less often that I was asked for an airplane Ready to fly. Those nearly doubled the price from a kit and took 4 months of constant work to build. What a pain. But they did pay for food for the next year and a half which was worth it.
By now I had gone in my house and was logging into my computer. Lucky enough for someone special whose "Birth" day was in a few weeks. My new hardware for her was finished. An alert popped up on my computer screen telling me that the solution was finished. For those that don't understand, this would be an experimental system for Nicole. Who was now forbidden access to the Mobotropolis nanites. Stupid people, they still don't understand that she protects the place. That was long ago and by now Rotor and I have made a new manually operated system for controlling the nanites that existed there. But that's enough about that.
I logged into my email account and instantly wished I had not. I certainly had a lot of work to sort through. I went through three pages of things people needed and responded to every one of them. About half wanted their Extreme Gear fixed up. About 5 % needed something strange done. One included a need for a sword of some sort. Then the rest were things people needed fixing. All cars. I sighed and told everybody to drop their stuff off tomorrow and leave me their name and phone number. I would give them an estimate.
After a solid hour of emailing I figured I could spend a little time with Blaze and Marine. Which I made a general assumption where still out in that hanger. Marine to look at everything and Blaze to watch Marine. You know, so none of my prized possessions that are in that building come flying through my front door. This week had been wild enough, I need a break. Okay, so I left my room to look for the girls.
But when I walked out I heard a soft brushing noise from the bathroom and saw Blaze in there. She was frustratingly trying to push her frazzled fur back into place but it simply would not seem to stay. In my opinion it looked fine, but you know how girls are...
"Havin' some trouble Blaze?" I asked suddenly. She whipped around in surprise, causing the brush to go on a beeline course for my forehead. "EEEP!" I ducked and it swished over my head and lodged itself in the drywall opposite the doorway. *Sigh.
"S-Sorry! I am so sorry Tails! I didn't mean it!" She said, frustrated and flustered.
"Shhhh. Hey, its ok." I said, I popped the brush out of the wall as well. It had some drywall powder on it but not really a big deal, the bristles on it where fine. Then I turned and walked toward her.
"No its not! First I whipped a brush at your head and now there is a hole in your wall!" Blaze said frantically. I ran the brush under the water in the sink to get all the drywall dust off it. The dust came off quick and easy, no big deal.
"Nah, its fine. People make holes in my house everytime they are over here. I know a guy named Knuckles, guess why I never invite him IN my house?" I said, smirking. I positioned Blaze in front of the mirror and stood behind her and looked in the mirror with her.
"I have a few guesses..." Blaze chuckled. I started to run the brush through her fur. "Umm, what are you doing?" She questioned.
"Making your fur straight again. If anyone can do this its me, mine is longer than yours." I said, motioning to the thick coat of fur over my body and around my muzzle and chest. "The trick is to wash it right and leave it dry in the position you want it..." Blaze looked at me funny. "Okay, it still goes all crazy. You just have to... be careful."
"Since when where you a grooming expert? It almost sounds like you could run a salon." Blaze snickered. I soon stopped brushing and she looked at me again. I assumed she wondered why I stopped but I just pointed at the mirror. All of her fur was back where she usually had it. "Woah..."
"Maybe I could, but I prefer machines to people." I said.
She looked at me with a smile. "I think you do an excellent job working on both." Blaze breathed, making me blush uncomfortably.
"You have yet to figure that out, I am better at one of them." I said, hinting playfully. She pushed me against the wall with her hands. I was about to let myself really get into this, but a question popped into my mind. That was when I heard a radial engine being started.
"No... Not the Winged Victory... Oh gosh! Blaze! Where is Marine!" I said loudly and frantically. Her eyes went wide when she heard the engine and realized what I was hinting at.
"Umm..." She suddenly disappeared. If I had to guess she was almost as fast as Sonic! Wow! I soon followed after her only to see my prized red biplane heading straight for my home. With a terrified raccoon at the stick.
"DUCK!" I shouted. Tackling Blaze to the ground as the plane pulled straight up just in the nick of time to not hit my house. I popped up onto my feet and twirled my twin tails quickly. "Time to show you what these things can really do." My tails soon reached full speed after a few seconds and I shot off the ground. Even knocking Blaze over with the wash of air from my tails. Ooops.
I whizzed after my prized airplane. At least I was catching up. Then again, going straight up that was not hard. The Winged Victory slowly began to slow down as it climbed higher and higher. It simply did not have the thrust to climb straight up indefinitely, it was not capable of such a feat. But I was, and soon as it was about to begin a tail slide like no other, I maneuvered into the seat behind Marine. The airplane responded appropriately as I knocked the rudder to the left sharply, executing an impromptu but perfect stall turn. Then I began a downline to pick up the proper speed to not flop it into the ground.
Marine began apologizing and cursing in a very rapid manner, I simply dismissed it all. It really wasn't a big deal in my mind, I wasn't panicking nor was I upset about it. It seemed... normal. I guess having Sonic around a lot gives you a little bit of immunity to excitement. Plus, if he taught me one thing its that you should never be surprised, especially going extremely fast. That was back when he was teaching me how to get that speed I used to covet so much. The speed that he had and I did not.
This brought back a memory of how I became the owner of this biplane, as the two subjects were so very related. Lets just say... Sonic and I raced with a bet, and I won...
But never mind that, at this point I began to pull up as I got to have enough airspeed over the wings so I would not risk a tipstall. Marine had her hands clamped over her face and Blaze was sprinting away from my house. Probably because I was getting a little too close to the ground before I started pulling up, but grazing the landing gear is far better than cartwheeling into the ground. I know from experience.
So the plane just pulled out in time to NOT hit the ground. But it was still a little too slow to fly and I had the engine redlining as the prop ripped through the air, just TRYING to keep the nose up. On my part I had to keep the plane from tipstalling. That took some real fancy aileron and rudder work on my part. I also had no idea how close I was to the ground since the nose was pointed skyward, the only clue I had to my altitude was that my wingtips where about the height of my gutter on the house. Soon the biplane began to gather some speed and it recovered nicely.
I lowered the throttle and tapped on the front seat to see how Marine was doing. On close inspection I could see her gripping the sides of the chair very tightly, and she had a panicked look on her whitened face.
"You OK?" I asked.
"No..." She hesitantly said. She visibly shook while her voice audibly quivered.
"Hey, its fine now. Don't worry." I said calmly, I even smiled a little. That was fun, I had not really had any action in a while. Sure that... adventure... was pretty crazy but in no way was it action packed. Cept maybe for that part where I fell down that cliff... But that really didn't count. It has been a while since I really had to move quickly.
"I'm sorry! I swear it won't happen again!" Marine shouted.
"OW! Don't shout so loud. Don't worry about it, you were just curious. Besides, I needed the exercise..." I said. After that all was quiet as I brought the plane up and around the house. I stuck a hand out and waved at Blaze on the ground. She looked like a small lavender thing from straight down, but still just as perfect. I could not tell her expression from a hundred feet up, but I could imagine it being something similar to very relieved.
I continued at my current heading out towards the end of my driveway. Then I did an inverted split-S, which Marine did not like. It consisted of me putting the airplane upside down, then pulling down at the ground and leveling out. I leveled out a mere 5 feet from my driveway and slowly brought the throttle down. I allowed the plane to gently descend and touch tarmac as I cruised toward the hanger. And just think, the day is barely over... I looked out at the sun, still high in the sky at this time of day, 5:00 PM about I think. I also loved the way my property was laid out like this, the sun glistened right off my pond. I always enjoyed this northern area of Mobius, the summer days were so long, and they were nice and temperate with even rain. Now the winters were another thing, the days were close to 6 hours of light time, from 9 in the morning till 4. With a LOT of snow.
Back on topic, I was still going twenty when I floored the throttle and snapped the rudder all the way to the left, making the plane skid sideways and tip so the end of the wing touched the ground. After that I killed the throttle and the plane just barely came to a stop before hitting my house.
"You didn't 'ave to skid n' stop the plane so violently Tails!" Marine said, she picked herself up out of the seat that she almost fell out of.
"Sorry, I don't do everything perfect you know. I was coming in a bit too hot and did not want to be cleaning Av-gas and beechwood out of my living room." I said, rubbing the back of my head. Then I hopped out of the plane and onto the ground. Blaze ran up to greet me, or at least that was what I thought at first. But it turns out she went over to scold Marine. Who was still wobbling around attempting to walk.
"Marine! What the hell were you thinking? You could have gotten yourself killed!" Blaze sternly said to Marine. I sighed, very glad she did not start to shout. I always figured it was what kids did, bug those older than them. All a part of growing up.
"Relax Blaze." I said, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Marine has learned her lessen in the form of a cardiac arrhythmia that has lasted the last couple minutes. I don't think she will pull a similar stunt again." She looked at me with a pensive face.
"I guess you're right..." She said, her face still pensive. "But be wary of Marine, she is one of the rowdier kids I have had the 'pleasure' of meeting." Blaze soon walked back inside. I figured it was to work a comb through her fur after falling in the grass twice and one of the times because of the wash of air from my tails when I took off. In other words her fur was once again a mess.
Marine gave me a look as Blaze walked away, I wasn't so sure what it meant exactly, it was just... A look. "Whats up Marine?"
"Nothin'. Jus' a little surprised you cooled Blaze down so quickly. She isn't one to just back down. She was downright pissed at me, and you...made it go away..." Marine said. Interesting. My mind toiled a few thoughts over at a tremendous pace. Thinking was one of my favorite things. And this was something that made me think. I was never all that great with social understandings, so I always had to think extra hard about those.
"Hmm..." I made a noise as I was in thought, but then a stray thought went by. "I gotta meet my parents in a while... If you remember I invited you and Blaze to come along? You two talk it over at all?
"Uhh, yes... Yes we did. She said she was gonna relax a bit after that stressin' adventure we were on." Marine said coolly. I later learned that she LIED coolly.
"So be it, just don't touch anything that might start up and bring my house down. And don't leave the stove on. And don't turn on my computer. And don't make a mess. But if you do make a mess make sure you clean it up. And what I don't know won't hurt me, just make sure I don't find out. I think I got some mac'n'cheese in the cupboard, and everything in the fridge is bad... But the tap water is fine, you can drink that. And be in bed by 9 PM sharp. Got it kiddo?" I said, then stared aimlessly into the distance. What did I just say?
Marine rolled her eyes and put a hand on her hip. "Yes father." She said sarcastically, poshing up her accent a bit.
"Heh, sorry."
"Sure, just get on outta here. Ya don't wanna be late to yer folks party now do ya!"
"Party?"
"Get together! Err, dinner. Seeya Tails!" Marine said, pushing herself out of the conversation and away from me. Alright, I suppose I should head on out. I decided to get there manually, its been a while since I got to go VERY VERY fast with the help of my twin tails. I spun them up and skimmed the top of the grass for the 20 or so miles it was to the New Mobotropilis city...
...
And after a few days I update faster than lightning! Like Sonic himself! Well... not so much. I have been brainstorming what gig I should do next with this plot line. And the thought of cutting my losses has... been brought up... But don't worry I quickly dismissed it for happier thoughts like a brand new story with a new line of plot but taking place after this one. And while I organize that I was planning on doing a few funnies. I was also thinking about picking up where my stolen OCs left off. But lets face it, I am talking to myself, I don't get many reviewers because my story is not that great. Again, I apologize for it taking such a god awful long time to update but what can I say? I am not a busy guy! I have just been sitting around playing GTA and enjoying the semi pleasant weather, then it starts to snow. But then its 65 and sunny the day after that. Uh oh! Climate change! Buy a PRY-US!
Also, for the more mature audiences... I have a treat for you! So stay tuned... Not just my new Tails tells segment either, but that is another story.
~The Guy in the Background~
WAIT! That's not all folks! Its time for a short segment I like to call, "Tails tells". Those that liked the Disney channel in '05 know what I am talkin' 'bout.
And I am your affectionate adorable adorable furry host, Miles Prower. I am here to educate the public on one of my favorite things of all time! The 4 cycle internal combustion engine principal. Now I know what you are doing right now, you are hitting the back button repeatedly to try to exit this page on your computer. But lucky enough for me, I got Nicole here to jack your web-browser so now you can't! HA! Beat that free speech!
Now, lets start with the first part of the 4 stroke engine cycle. The Intake stroke, which as it turns out, really SUCKS! Roflcopter! Sorry, I thought that was one of those hip new txting sayings you happinin' kids say nowadays. Nevermind that, intake stroke. During this part of the engine cycle a gear which is going to turn the camshaft one rotation per every two rotations of the crankshaft. The camshaft positions a cam in such a way that it will open the intake valve. During the time it stays open the piston will begin its down stroke in the cylinder. This will create a vacuum and suck fuel air mixture through the intake valve and into the engine.
Now, at Bottom Dead Center, or as us grease nerds like to call it, BDC. The camshaft operating the cams will allow the intake valve to close and the power-stroke can begin. This is where the awesome explosion of the precisely blended fuel air mixture goes off. Or in the case of a Lamborghini Countach, not so precisely. Now, during the upstroke from bottom dead center the fuel/air mixture will compress greatly, usually at 5-8 to one ratio. Then, just before Top Dead Center, or TDC. The spark plug will ignite the fuel air mixture, causing an explosion just after Top Dead Center, creating a surge of energy that will slam the piston down with a great force.
One the piston reaches BDC once more the camshaft will now be in a position where it can open another valve. This time the Exhaust valve. Thus beginning the final stroke, the exhaust stroke. During which the piston will move upward on the rotational inertia provided by the flywheel. The pressure created will push all the burnt fuel and air out the exhaust valve, to be dealt with by the catalytic converter. Once the piston reaches TDC again, the exhaust valve will close and the intake will open, and the cycle will repeat.
That has been the Tails tells segment, and your host Miles Prower has to get going before Guy gets carpal tunnel. Seeya later!
