Alrighty, a pervy pairing... jk XD More crack here, Tails/Rouge. Don't worry though, nothing happens. Credit goes to PenFullofChaos819 for giving me the idea for this theme (I got stuck ._.).

Anyway, this takes place before Tails met Sonic. It's more about them both feeling unwelcome on the ground, and finding the sky as their only safe place. Sometimes, they spotted each other up there, maybe even flew together. Basically, only one line hints that maybe, possibly, some day, something might happen between them. Maybe. So yeah, I suchk at making these romantic XD

Rated T for language.

Sky

The earth had always felt so entrapping. It was like a prison. No matter where they turned, there was always another obstacle rising in their path. Cruel words and crueler people, forcing them flat against the ground.

Freak. Mutant. Dork. Geek.

Slut. Whore. Floozy. Trash.

Worthless.

On the ground they were nobodies -they meant nothing to no one. But in the sky, it was a whole different story.

There was something so liberating about taking to the skies, wings slicing through the air as she tore through the clouds, leaving the ground far behind. Down there, nothing felt right. The world was confusing, and no matter where she went she couldn't help but feel that she just didn't belong. Up here, everything was simpler. Just flap your wings and ride the currents, that was as complex as it got. Masked by a night that others found oppressing, she'd never felt so free.

For him, it was the same. He had no place down here, among all these "perfect" people with their perfect families and perfect lives. He'd watch them walk home to their safe, warm houses, and all the while he'd sit and ache. The sky called to him, beckoned him. Once upon a time, it made him feel lost, caught between two worlds. Now, it welcomed him with open arms. He relished the dull ache as his tails whirled, lifting him higher and higher, into a place far away harsh words.

On the earth they were nothing- two souls battered and forgotten by a world that had no place for them. In the sky, they were whoever they wanted to be. A pilot or a hero, a spy or a thief, enemies or friends or perhaps something more- the possibilities were endless. But their time up there was not. Because eventually they would have to descend, leaving their safe haven behind.

Like others before them though, they would not lose hope. Someday, perhaps, they'd find the place where they knew they belonged. And until that day, whenever they'd feel lost, they would just turn their heads to the sky, and push on.
