The worm hovered in the stratosphere, staring at the surface of the planet.
"You cannot escape..." it hissed to itself.
Just then a scent of fox drifted across its nostrils. It breathed in deeply, pinpointing where it came from. It turned towards the south.
"Sssoo, my little ssnow queen has headed towards the tropics. She can't hide from me there."
It breathed in again, catching several more.
"And sshe's found another of her kind. He will be delt with. And my agents are in position. Good..."
Then, with one last icy hiss, he streaked to the southern hemisphere...
They slowly pulled away, trying to make it go on as long as possible. They eventually found themselves sitting on their heels, with his arms around her waist, and hers around his.
"(Wow...)" she whispered, her breath condensing into mist.
"(Yeah...)"
Then the embarrassment came. Tails went bright red and put his ears down, still smiling.
"Well..." she said, also smiling. "That was unexpected..."
"I-I'm sorry." he said, putting his arms down.
She stopped him, and put his arms back around her.
He looked at her. She looked even more beautiful than she did before. Even her ferocity you got from her overhanging tooth was gone.
"There ain't anything wrong about kissing someone," she said shyly, turning her eyes away and blushing scarlet. "When they feel the same way... The question is," she added, looking back to him, "whether there's anything wrong with wanting to kiss them back..."
He smiled at her.
Then they both leaned forwards, her cool breath on his lips...
"Alright, I'll set them up, you put them away."
They looked over to the noise in surprise.
"We must have been out longer than we thought..." muttered Tails, ears up. They glanced at each other, and broke apart, Alana straightening out her skirt hurriedly, and Tails flattening his hair, blushing.
But just before they were ready to face whoever was there, Knuckles and Antoine came around the corner. They stopped mid-sentence, realizing that this awkward couple was there.
"And what du yu think yu arre doing out here zo erley?" said an annoyed Antoine to them.
But Knuckles, looking from one to the other, from Alana's red face to Tails's messed up hair, and the way they kept looking away from each other, eventually smirked and said "Ohhh...I see."
"Whatt? Whatt iz it?" asked the confused fox quietly. Knuckles rolled his eyes and, whispering, clued him in on what had just happened. His eyes widened as he heard this, making the couple feel embarrassed and uncomfortable.
"Well," said Knuckles, smirking, "nice meeting you so early." He turned to go, taking Antoine with him, when Tails and Alana both got up to explain. He held his hand up without turning around, and said to them over his shoulder, "No need to explain. We didn't see anything."
For once in his life, Tails was glad Knuckles was secretive...
