Tails woke up late that morning. He looked around for Sonic, but found out that he must have left earlier that morning. Tails sighed and walked into the kitchen, where he started making himself a cup of coffee. Coffee soothed his nerves, and he had needed it more often than ever now with all the adventures he and Sonic had been having recently. He finished his cup and walked outside. The sun was shining, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. It was a beautiful day. "Maybe I'll go for a walk in the forest today," Tails said to himself.
The forest was a relaxing place to be. Birds chirped all over the place and sunlight lit up the parts of the forest floor where it cut through the trees' branches. Tails sighed. "I haven't gone out and relaxed like this for the longest time. It feels so good after so long," he said as he chose a warm patch of sunlight to lie down in.
"Nice, isn't it?" a voice said out of nowhere.
"Who's there?" Tails asked as he got up in alarm.
"Relax," the voice said. Out into the sunlight came a fox with red fur. He looked as old as or a little older than Tails. "I didn't mean to startle you."
Tails breathed a sigh of relief. "What's your name?" he asked.
"Rolm. And you are...?"
"Tails."
"No way! THE Tails? The one who travels with Sonic all over? Wow, it's a real pleasure to meet you," Rolm said as he shook hands with Tails.
"What brings you out here?" Tails asked Rolm.
"Well, I'm on a quest to collect the Chaos Emeralds," Rolm replied.
"No way! That's almost an impossible quest!" Tails shouted as he looked at Rolm.
"Not really. I learned something about the emeralds that has allowed me to collect four of them so far," Rolm said as he showed Tails the gems. "I have the gray one, the purple one, the light blue one, and the dark blue one." Tails was awestruck.
"HOW!?" Tails shouted with eagerness. He wanted to know Rolm's secret, since Tails had a Chaos Emerald of his own at home.
"Well, promise not to spread this around, and I'll tell you."
"Alright," Tails agreed.
"OK, I will show you," Rolm said as he took out his purple emerald. He held it up in the light and it began to glow and emit a purple light. The light grew brighter and brighter as it suddenly lit up Rolm's entire hand. Rolm then lowered his hand and pointed at a tree nearby. Blasts of wind suddenly shot out of the purple Chaos Emerald and blew the tree right over.
"WHOA!" Tails yelled as he watched the tree fall.
"Awesome, hey?" Rolm said as he smiled.
"How did you do that?!" Tails asked him.
"All you got to do is focus as much power as you can into the Chaos Emerald. Think about nothing but the Emerald. Feel its power flow through you, and then, release it," Rolm explained.
"Could I try that with my emerald?" Tails asked Rolm.
"No," Rolm said.
"Why not?" Tails questioned.
"Every emerald has their own powers. That's why they are different colors. The purple one that I used has the power of wind. The green one has energy, the yellow one has lightning, the blue one has ice, the light blue one has water, the red one has fire, and the gray one has machinery. Eggman has been wanting that one for awhile now," Rolm admitted.
"So, if I use my yellow emerald I will be able to control lightning?" Tails asked.
"Not right away. It takes practice," Rolm explained.
"I'm going to go get it," Tails said. "Follow me."
After about a half hour Tails and Rolm were outside of Tails' and Sonic's house. Tails was trying his hardest to control the power of his emerald, but so far all he did was make a few sparks fly out of the emerald and hit himself.
"Don't worry, you'll get it with practice," Rolm encouraged.
"Do you mind if I come with you?" Tails asked all of a sudden.
"What? You come with me? I'm not sure..." Rolm said.
"Come on! I need you to teach me how to use this stuff," Tails pleaded.
"Oh, fine. But leave a note so Sonic doesn't freak when he doesn't find you here," Rolm advised.
Tails began writing the note. It read:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Sonic,
I made a cool friend named Rolm, and he says he can teach me something really neat, but I need to go with him. He made me promise not to tell you what it is, but I will show you when I get back. I will be back in about a week or so. Don't worry about me.
Your buddy, Tails
HINT: Chaos Emeralds.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tails kept the note out of Rolm's view, folded it, and put it on the kitchen table.
"You ready to go?" Rolm asked.
"You bet! Let's hit the road!" Tails replied anxiously.
