~~~~~TAILS
I walked into the kitchen to find Sonic cooking breakfast. That was basically the rule around here; whoever is the first one up makes the food.
"Hey Sonic. What are you making?" I asked as I walked over.
"French toast and sausage. It should be done in about five minutes," he replied.
I yawned and sat down in my chair. I shouldn't have stayed up so late last night. But I couldn't help it, I had a great new idea for my next invention. I was startled by a knock at the door.
"Tails, could you get that? I can't burn the food," Sonic said.
"Sure," I replied as I got out of my chair and walked over to the door. I only hoped that it wasn't Amy. She has been coming over every other day to talk with Sonic. It isn't that bad, but Sonic and I can't get a word in at all. Oh well.
I opened the door to see a rather exhausted-looking gray and white fox in front of me. His eyes shone a brilliant green color, similar to Sonic's. He had a determined but tired look in those eyes, and I noticed that he had a long sword at his side. "C...can you help me out?" he said.
"Sure, sure. Come on in," I said as I opened the door all the way.
"So, Tails, who's..." Sonic stopped talking when he saw the fox. "Hello! And you are...?"
"My name's Leon. Listen, I'm looking for a place to stay for a day. I have been traveling for a long time, and I'm almost completely worn out," he said.
"Well, I guess you could stay, Leon," Sonic replied. "Would you like some breakfast?"
"Would I!" he said as he held his stomach. "I haven't eaten a meal in days."
Sonic hurried over to the stove and threw some extra food on. Leon sat down in one of the chairs and buried his face with his hands.
"Man, I'm tired," he stated.
"How long did you say you have traveled?" I asked.
"I would have to say around five days. That dang forest is a lot larger than I thought it would be," he replied.
Five days!? And he looks the same age as me!
"What's wrong?" he asked as he looked at my shocked expression.
"Well, nothing, really. It's just that five days is an awfully long time to go without decent food and drink. Why are you traveling?" I asked.
He seemed to think for a moment before answering. "I can't tell you that. At least, not until I can trust you."
"Trust us!? We're letting you stay in our house and have meals with us, and you don't trust us?" Sonic spoke up from the stove.
"Well.... I guess I do owe you one. All right, I can tell you where I'm going, but that's pretty much it."
"And that would be...?" I asked.
"Robotnik." One word. One single word, but it had a strong impact on us. Sonic swung around holding the pan with the French toast, mouth hanging open. I just stared at Leon until I forced a laugh.
"You're joking, right?"
He shook his head no and closed his eyes. "He...destroyed everything that meant anything to me."
"Well, he has destroyed a lot of things dear to us, too, but that doesn't mean you go strolling up to his front door! Unless you're me, of course," Sonic said with a smile.
"Who exactly are you guys?" Leon asked.
Sonic almost dropped the pan. "You don't know who we are?" he asked once he was over the shock.
"Well...no."
Sonic and I looked at each other. How couldn't he have known? Almost everyone in the world knows Sonic, and I am widely known for my 'uniqueness'.
"Well, I'm Sonic the Hedgehog, and this is my buddy, Tails," Sonic said.
"Sonic, huh? Well, why can you storm into Robotnik's territory and not me?"
"Well, Sonic, I guess you'll have to show him why," I said with a chuckle as I pointed towards the door.
Sonic sighed and walked outside, quickly followed by myself and a confused Leon. Sonic turned towards Leon and spoke, "So, you don't know me. Well, that's about to change. Watch carefully!"
Sonic ran towards the woods and back in less than a second.
"Explain everything?"
Leon had his mouth hanging open and could only nod.
He looked around for a second. "Hey, where's Tails?"
"Up here!" I called down to him. He looked up and saw me flying. His jaw dropped for a second time.
"Awesome!" he shouted.
I flew above the house for a bit and then landed next to him.
"Now do you understand?" Sonic asked. "If you don't have anything special, you don't stand a chance against Robotnik, or Eggman as we call him nowadays."
"Special, huh? Well, I guess it's my turn then," Leon said as he closed his eyes. Sonic and I looked at each other. What could he be doing? We looked back and almost fell over with shock. Floating off the ground was...
"Leon! How are you doing that!?" Sonic shouted as he looked at the fox.
Leon opened his eyes and landed on the ground. "How's that?" he asked.
"...Quite impressive, but I don't see how it's going to help you if you are going against Robotnik," Sonic said.
"All right then, I'll have to try something else," he said as he thought for a moment. Suddenly he hit himself in the face. "I should've thought of this sooner!"
"Thought of what?" I asked. Suddenly he disappeared.
"This!" he yelled as he shoved me fast first to the ground. I got up and found Leon laughing behind me.
Sonic and I both exchanged astonished looks.
"Oh, there's much more where that came from!" Leon said as he stopped laughing. "Now do you see? I'm no different than you guys! I'm special, too!"
"We know that now, but we still can't let you go by yourself. Even we don't when we avoid it. Let us go with you," Sonic said as he looked at Leon.
Leon thought for a moment. "Well, OK, but I wasn't going to leave until tomorrow anyway."
He walked back into the house and we quickly followed him.
Sonic led him to the guestroom and he fell asleep right away. Sonic and I sat down and the table and talked for awhile.
"How do you suppose he does what he did today?" I asked Sonic. He shook his head.
"I have no idea. I have never seen anything like it before."
"And where did he come from? He didn't mention that at all."
"Let's ask him tomorrow," Sonic asked.
"OK."
I went out and worked on my Tornado 3 that day. I was creating it to be a airplane with multiple weapons. It was going to be great once it's finished.
I went to bed later that night and wondered about Leon. Who was he, and why hadn't he told us where he was from? Why does he have the powers that he does? And most of all, what's going to happen tomorrow with Eggman?
I gradually fell asleep.
