*By the way, for those of you who cannot read well, 'Carollyn' is pronounced CARE-OH-LINN. Okay? And those of you who can't pronounce 'Mark' need help*
Good-Bye chapter two
"Good-night, Miles," Carollyn said softly. "Sleep well, my little love." She tucked Tails into bed and kissed his cheek. Tails was quite happy with his new mother; she was very nice. His new parents were a fairly young couple, and they were quite happy to have a little boy now. Carollyn and Mark...His new family. Tails' mother turned out the light and slowly closed the bedroom door behind herself as she left.
Tails stared up at the ceiling. This felt weird to him; he wasn't at Sonic's house anymore and he had a different bedroom. But even still, Tails was sure Sonic was happy for him, so he'd be alright....
Sonic was not happy at all. He missed Tails so much. The fox had been gone about four hours, and already, Sonic wanted him to come home...The only special thing Tails hadn't taken with him was The Legend of Zelda book, and this was very surprising as it was one of his favorite things. Feeling half gone due to the absence of Tails in his life, Sonic found nothing better to do but look at the big old book himself. It was beautiful; well-bound, well-written...the illistrations were beautiful too. The pages were a little faded with age, but it didn't matter. Tails had left one thing that was dear to him, if it was any consolation for Sonic. But maybe as long as Tails was happy, nothing mattered. Tails had a family now and he would be safe and happy....God, Sonic thought. Why is it killing me...?
"'Morning, son," Mark said when Tails came downstairs. "How was your night?"
"I slept pretty good," Tails replied. "How 'bout you, dad?"
Mark laughed. "Fine, fine. What do you want to do today?"
"I dunno." He sat down at the kitchen table with his father. Carollyn set his breakfast down in front of him. Cinnamon waffles...his favorite. Creepy how she knew these things...Well, maybe Sonic had told her. Sonic...Hmm, he hadn't even been away from him for twenty-four hours and he was starting to feel a pang of lonliness. Tails started up on his breakfast. His new mother cooked very well. He stayed quiet as he ate, thinking of various things.
"So sweetie, what school do you go to?" Carollyn asked after breakfast as she did some dishes.
Tails stayed quiet for awhile. "I...don't go to school."
Mark and Carollyn looked at each other.
"You...never went to school..?" Mark asked.
"No." Tails directed his eyes at the floor.
"Why not?"
"They'd tease me...they ALWAYS tease me..." His two tails curled around him, and he put his face in his hands.
Carollyn hugged the little one. "It's alright, love. But...what grade are you SUPPOSED to be in..?"
"I don't know...Sonic didn't make me go to school...He knew I wouldn't like it...But I know the important stuff...I can read and write and do math and stuff..."
"Mark, you and I can discuss this later," Carollyn whispered to her husband. Tails sniffled.
"Son, how about you and I go out for icecream or something?" Mark asked.
Tails brightened reasonably. "Okay!"
Knuckles was hanging out with Sonic. "So...how's everything lately?" he asked. Sonic sighed heavily. "I hope Tails is happy because I miss him really badly," he replied. Knuckles actually smiled for a change, rather than for mocking-purposes. "Hey things will work out, Sonic. You love him alot so as long as he's happy, you'll be alright in the end. You'll see..."
