GoodBye ch4
Tails slept in that morning. He wasn't aware that Sonic had called until he had made his way downstairs. He'd dreamt alot last night; about lots of weird things...Namely about that Legend of Zelda book he'd left with Sonic, and about Teddy Tails...Ugh. Teddy Tails; the Tails-equivelent of Metal Sonic. He was so creepy; especially those cold, life-less, staring eyes. But Teddy Tails was just a mechanical doll; he was less intelligent than Metal Sonic, but he did float in an eerie sort of manner. It was better for Tails to forget about weird dreams like that anyway.
"'Morning, mommy," he said, stretching a little. Carollyn looked up from writing.
"Good morning, sweetie. Did you sleep well?"
Tails smiled. "Yes, I did." He paused. "Do you have to work today?"
"No, but your father does. I have the week off..."
Tails frowned slightly. "But...If you gotta work and so does daddy, what about me? I don't go to school..."
Carollyn thought about this. "I know, my love, but I might either quit my job so I can take care of you or else I'll have to find you a babysitter..."
"Oh."
"Did Sonic ever leave you by yourself?"
"...Sometimes, but only when he had to leave really quick. I used to go with him most of the time..."
"I see..." She went back to writing. "Your breakfast is all ready, Miles. Hurry before it gets cold."
Tails nodded and went into the kitchen. He sat down and proceeded to eating breakfast. Mark was straightening his tie for work.
"Good morning, son."
"'Morning, daddy."
"Oh! And Sonic wanted you to call him!"
"Oh..."
"I have to go to work now. I'll see you later. Say goodbye to your mother for me."
"Okay. Bye bye."
"Bye." And with that, he was out the door.
Tails finished off his breakfast as quick as he could and grabbed the phone. Quickly he dialed Sonic's number. It rang once...and twice...three times...Gawd, why was Sonic taking this long?! He normally got it by the first ring. Five times...six..."Come on" Tails silently pleaded. Nine....Ten....
"Hello?"
"Sonic!!" Tails exclaimed.
"Tails?"
"You betcha!! You called me?"
"Yeah...how's it goin' little buddy?" Something made him so much happier to hear the kid's voice again.
"It's good. You don't sound too much like yourself, Sonic...Are you okay?"
....Great. Now Sonic was stuck. What was he supposed to say?! That he missed Tails a sickening lot and wished he'd come back?! No. He had to lie, as much as he knew he hated to.
"I'm fine...I just...Have a headache."
"Oh....well...feel better soon, okay?" Tails smiled. "I love you Sonic."
Sonic swallowed hard. "I...love you too Tails. But..I ought to let you go. Your mom probably will think of something for you and her to do today...I'll see you later, kiddo."
"Alrighty. Bye bye Sonic."
"Bye..."
And they both hung up. Sonic choked a little. Tears welled up in his eyes. What was he gonna do...?
