The Robotnic Complex
Chapter 10
Interlude 1
Author's Note: This is the first of four interludes that I plan to write for this story. Reading these is not nessassary for the story but may give you a deeper understanding of the characters actions and morals as the story moves on.
Tails crept silently out of the room he had been laying in, trying to sleep. but for some reason, sleep eluded him on this night, the night before their first raid with Brian. Tails was sure they could trust the man, but their was something
that was...creepy about the way Brian moved, talked, anything. It was as if Tails had seen it all before somwhere, but he could not place it. He had been thinking about that when he went to his bed to try to sleep, but it kept bugging him. So he decided to relax in the only way he knew would bring sleep. He walked into the front room and opened the closet door softly so he didn't wake Amy. He moved his Electric Guitar out of the way so he could reach his Accustic Guitar. He picked up the case by the strap and closed the closet door. He layed the Guitar down on the couch and put his shoes and jacket on. He picked up the guitar and walked out the door, closing it softly behind him. A few seconds later a pink hedgehog opened the dor to her room. 'Where is he going?' Amy thought to herself. She walked back into her room and came back out again a few seconds later wearing her shoes. 'I'll just follow him to make sure he isn't doing something stupid.' She walked out the door and closed the door behind her. The hut was silent once again.
********************
Tails sat on top of a hill overlooking the Ring Grotto and Knothole, with the guitar in his lap. He was thinking of what to play. He remembered a piece of music he found in a box of supplies. It was hard to learn because he had never heard anything like it before. He put the strap around his neck and started playing. He never heard Amy come up behind him.
When dreaming I'm guided to another world
Time and time again
At sunrise I fight to stay asleep
'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place
'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape
From the life I live when I'm awake
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets
Although I would like our world to change
It helps me to appreciate
Those nights and those dreams
But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights
If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same
The only difference is
To let love replace all our hate
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets
So lets go there, lets go there,
Come on, lets go there
Lets ask can we stay?
Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time
Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine
Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine
Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets
Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets
Tails finished playing and listened as the last note was swept away by the night wind. He felt a lot better. Playing music always relaxed him. "That was beautiful Tails." Amy said from behind him. He nearly screamed from shock. "Amy! What are you doing here?" She walked beside where he was and sat down. "I couldn't sleep so I decided to follow you." Tails was silent for about a minute. Amy was about to ask him what was wrong when he spoke again. "So, you heard the song?" She nodded her head, her green eyes glistening in the moonlight reflected off the ring pond. Tails looked her in her eyes. "And you liked it?" She nodded her head. "I thought it was wonderful. You play well Tails." Tails smiled at her. "Would you like to here another Amy?" She nodded her head once again. Tails thought again and came up with a song he wrote. 'I hope she likes it.' He positioned his fingers on the strings and started playing.
How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky
Wake up the dawn and ask her why
A dreamer dreams she never dies
Wipe that tear away now from your eye
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova
Cos people believe that they're
Gonna get away for the summer
But you and I, we live and die
The world's still spinning round
We don't know why
Why, why, why, why
How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you while we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova
Cos people believe that they're

But you and I, we live and die
The world's still spinning round
We don't know why
Why, why, why, why
How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high?
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high
He finished playing and sat waiting for Amy's response. Finally she spoke. "What's the name of that song?" Tails thought for a second. He never really named it, but...'yeah, that would work' he thought to himself. He turned back toward Amy and told her. "Champagne Supernova. What do you think?" She looked Tails straight in the eyes. "I loved it." Tails noticed their faces were about 5 inches apart. "Amy..." Tails begun to ask. "Yes?" Amy responded in a shaking voice. "Can I kiss you?" She smiled at him. He leaned forward slowly, closing his eyes. They pressed their lips together, under the moonlight. They held their lips together for several seconds, neither one daring to go any further or to go back. Finally Tails separated his lips slightly, Amy soon following suit. A few seconds later Amy drew back. They looked into each others eyes. A minute later, Tails spoke. "Amy, I love you. I havn't realized it all this time, but I love you." Amy leaned toward Tails. "I love you Tails, and nothing will ever change that." They kissed again, shorter this time. "We better get back to the village, We need to get our sleep for the mission." Amy handed him the guitar case that was at her side. "Ok, Tails. I'll see you at...home." She flashed him another smile and headed down the path, toward the village. A few minutes later Tails walked down the path, smiling. He felt content. Every thing he could have hoped for from Amy now exists. They were in love, and nothing could stop them. Together, they could beat anything. Tails went into his hut and went to sleep. The next morning they would set off on a mission and he wanted to be at his best. He went to sleep almost instantly after laying down.
