Good Bye chapter 3

Tails' parents didn't force him to go to school...

And Sonic was busy wondering how much longer he'd last 'til he couldn't stand being away from the little fox. God, he missed Tails...Half the time it was all he could think of...Was he doing alright? Was he happy? Was he having fun? Did he miss Sonic...? No denying it; Sonic sure missed him...

Tails was thinking alot that night. He was quiet most of the day, and at bedtime, when his mother came to tuck him in, she couldn't stand her curiosity anymore. "Miles, sweetheart, why were you so quiet today?"

Tails' eyes looked a little bit forlorn. "I dunno...Thinking about stuff, I guess..."

Carollyn smiled at him. "Alright. But try to go to sleep, honey." She was such a pretty fox; she had the most purfect red fur, and her hair was long and golden, usually in a ponytail. And the thing Tails adored most about her was her eyes. A perfect, unfaulted shade of green...Just like Sonic's...

Sonic...The more Tails thought of him the more lonely for him he became. The little pang in his heart deepened, but because he hadn't seen Sonic cry, he thought all was well.

"Good night, mommy," he said as Carollyn left the room.

Back at Sonic's house, he was being rather melancholy about things. It was so selfish for him to want Tails back; yet still he wished the kid were still living with him. Alright, he definatly couldn't just walk straight up and say:

'Geez, ya know, I sure do miss Tails so I'll just take him back now, thanks!' So he decided perhaps it might be in Tails' new parents' best intentions to let Sonic see him for a little while. Even afew minutes; it would soothe his heart so much.

Gathering up his hope, he grabbed the phone and dialed in the number. It rang three times before Mark picked up.

"Good evening."

"Hey...Um, its Sonic."

"Oh! Hello Sonic! How are you?"

"..Fine I guess. Ah, I was wondering how Tails was."

"He's fine."

Sonic felt his heart go slightly quicker. "Do you think...I could talk to him or something?"

"Ohh...He's asleep...But I'll tell him that you want to talk to him when he gets up tomorrow."

"Alright...Thanks...Bye."

"See you."

Sonic hung up. All he wanted to know was that Tails was perfectly fine and happy straight from him, and Sonic would manage.
