I woke up to a surprise.

"Tails! Wake up! It's you're birthday!" Lara yelled.

"Huh...wha...?" I said tiredly.

She handed me a cake. "Happy birthday!" " Wow...how did you know today was my birthday Lara?" I asked.

"You said that today was your birthday yesterday while you were talking in you're sleep...hehe."

"Oh." I said as I hungrily ate the cake she gave me.

"Let's go back to the forest today." Lara said.

"Alright, we'll use the Tornado!" I replied. We jumped into the Tornado, the Chaos Emerald already installed in it.

Lara looked out of the plane "Wow, the sight is wonderful"

"Yeah, I know." I replied happily.

When we arrived and landed the plane, we met up with Sonic again.

"Hey Sonic!" I said.

"Oh, hey Tails." He replied. "Who's that with you?"

"This is Lara."

"Hiya" She said.

"Hello Lara, nice to meet you."

"Guess what?" She asked.

"What?" Sonic replied.

"Today is Tails birthday!"

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Well then, Happy birthday Tails."

"Thanks Sonic."

"So Tails how do you like the Tornado, does it fly well?"

"Yeah! It's great, we learned that you can use Chaos Emeralds to power it."

"That's awesome!"

"Yeah, I know."

Well, I'm gonna leave. See ya later!" Sonic said as he ran off again.

"Sonic is so cool! I wanna be just like him when I get older!" I said happily.

"Yeah, it would be great to be like him." Lara replied.

"C'mon, let's play tag again! That game is really fun!"

"Ok!"

We played Tag all day...but we didn't realize that this would be the last time we would see each other for a long time...
