Tails does the Crime--but must he do the Time?

Chapter One: An Old Man and the Sea

Once upon a time, there lived a fox. But he wasn't just any fox. He could walk on two legs, just like people can, and speak English (okay, Japanese, but this fic.'s in English. 'Kay?), just like people who can speak English can, and many other things. He and his friends have gone through the famous ANTHROPOMORPHISM!!!!!--that's all.

He was a very mischievous fox, though. He has done crimes of all sorts-graffiti, car theft-he once even stuffed a goose into an old lady's purse. Why, I don't know, but Tails sure thought it was funny.

One day, Tails was walking through Station Square, thinking of his next crime. All of a sudden, he heard an old-man-sounding-ish voice.

"Please," said the old dude, "help me cross the street."

Tails walked over to near the burger place, where the old man stood. He looked both ways. He then pointed out,

"Um…I honestly don't see any cars which would prevent you from crossing."

"Yes, but when I step onto the street, all the cars'll come zoomin' by."

Tails watched as the old man set one foot out upon the street. Nothing. The old codger stepped another foot out, very slowly and carefully. He quickly returned to the sidewalk after seeing a car about to come.

"Oh, well, look!!" Tails yelled, angry at how slow the old coot was, "the cars stop anyway!! Watch!" He stepped into the street, and the oncoming car screeched to a halt as soon as Tails stepped out.

"… … …Well, that's 'cuz you're a young lil' fox. I'm not." replied the old geezer.

Tails returned to the sidewalk. That's when he got his idea.

"Don't worry, old guy, I'll help you across!" he offered.

"Ya' will? Thank-oof!!" Tails picked the old guy up. He carried him across the street. Then, he carried the old fart to the direction of Twinkle Park.

"Eeyaaa!! Where're you takin' me?!" yelled the elderly citizen.

Tails stopped at the mini-beach type place, the one between Twinkle Park and the spot where you can ride to Eggman's place. He then threw the elderly guy into the water.

Tails gave an evil grin as he tuned to walk away. But then, suddenly--

END CHAPTER ONE.

Stay tuned to your computer for the next chapter!! Don't you just LOVE cliffhangers? Don't you also just love the way I didn't use a certain term to describe an old man more than once? Well, just hang tight, or whatever people like to say. I'll get chapter 2 ASAP!!

If I can't get it by Thursday, then hopefully I'll get it by Monday!!! ^_^() Bye for now!!! :-)
