Shade-The-Hedgehog: Yes the story is not yet over. In fact you might say we have a good way to go before it's over...heh... Oh and no, sorry that was the longest chapter that I will have for you.
Chapter Nine
It was over. She couldn't believe what happened. He was gone. Cream continued to lay on her bed, her head face down into the pillow. She had never cried so much in her life. Her heart was so broken that it felt as if it was oozing out of her body through her tears. "How could it happen," she continued to think. "How could it happen so soon. He loved me, but I didn't get to hear him say it...Why!" Her thoughts brought back the tears. She grabbed her head and sat up. She screamed in frustration and sadness. "WHY!" she screamed to nobody. "WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO TAILS! HE WAS YOUR FRIEND, YOUR BEST FRIEND! AND YOU KILLED HIM!" Cream began to cry again. She sat there crying for a few minutes. "You killed him," she whispered to herself.
Amy, Chuck, Eggman, Knuckles, Rouge, and Shadow. They all sat there. "Rouge," said Knuckles. "We've called you here for something very important. We need you to help us find a place to hide the Chaos Emeralds." Knuckles laid down the Emeralds on a nearby table. "As I have already told you the Emeralds drove Sonic mad. He attacked Tails today." Rouge suddenly became more interested. "Poor Cream, she's so sad. The funeral will be murder for her... Murder. You wants to tell her what happened?" "I will," said Shadow.
Cream didn't want to, but she couldn't help it. She once again began to remember what happened earlier that day. She walked up to the window and watched the sun set as she remembered. The happiest moment in her life. Tails. The saddest. Tails. The kiss. Tails. The glass. Tails. All the "Tails was cut to-to-to" broken glass "Death..." Tails. A beautiful sight. The sunset, it reflected off her tears. The images once again flashed before her eyes. Tails was in the pile of glass. She raced towards the pile and began to dig through it. She cut her hands. Cream looked around for something that could help her save Tails if there was still hope. She needed to start digging him out, but she couldn't find the courage to keep digging through the glass and cutting herself. She found a pair of glass proof gloves. Cream put them on. The pain they gave her when the inside of the gloves dug inside her wounds. She continued to dig out Tails. She started with the hand. Soon she found an ear. Attached to the ear was a head. Soon she got enough of the glass cleared away to pull him out. Nothing had been cut off. Not very much had been cut open, but where their was cuts Tails was bleeding profusely. Cream tried her best to close the wounds and wrap them up with bandages she found in a first aid kit next to where she found the gloves. Cream continued to look out of the window. "I stopped the bleeding. I heard his pulse. Why couldn't I wake him? Why did he stop breathing? Why?"
Shadow cleared his throat. "Sonic is gone this time, he is now permanently poisoned. I saw him throw a rock at Tails and knock him off conscious. Sonic picked up Tails and started beating him. He didn't hit Tails hard until Tails woke up. Then he got malicious. I jumped down from a wooden stand and confronted Faker, I mean Sonic. He punched Tails one last time. Tails flew into a big pile of bottles, and that's how he died. He was cut to death. Cream tried to save him but... I don't know. He should have still been alive. Cream did a good job and Tails did not bleed to death, he had enough to go on. It just doesn't make any sense. Anyway, Sonic attacked me when I confronted him. I led him away from Cream. We fought each other for about ten minutes. I was losing. I told him he wouldn't win. Sonic thought it was funny. It kind of was. He said 'you've got a better chance of pigs flying then besting me.' Then the Three Little Pigs fell from the sky and landed on Sonic. I took the opportunity to attack. The fight continued for some time. Some how we ended up near where Cream was. Sonic punched me in the stomach. I couldn't move. He approached Cream. Then something happened that I would never have expected." "Yes!" shouted Eggman with glee. "My favorite part. I was wanting to smash Sonic all my life. My 'Jaba the Hut' sneaked up from behind and smashed him with a body slam. And if it wasn't for Knuckles, I would have never found my fat friend and fixed him. Crazy android. I'm soo proud." "Too bad it's dead," said Knuckles. "Yeah," replied Eggman. "Sonic pierced through the top of Eggmanzilla and ran off," said Shadow. "His rucksack, the one he kept the Emeralds on got snagged on the robot-" "Android." "What ever. The Emeralds were left behind. That's the story." Rouge looked down at the floor. "Is Tails really... Dead?" "Yah," answered Amy. "Motionless, and he stopped breathing." "Ahh!" shouted Shadow. "What!" everybody else said. "Damn catalepsy! Why didn't I see it before. Tails is in a big time coma! He's alive!"
Cream didn't care if he was dead. She had to see him one more time. She was walking down the hall to the room were Tails was being kept, his own room. Tears trailing behind her. "It was such a beautiful sunset." She started to cry a little harder. She was near Tails's room. She reached the door. Cream stared at the door for a moment. She laid down her head on the door. She was pretending that she could here Tails's voice from within. "Where is that soldering iron? I can't connect these two wires without it." Cream gasped. She heard something. From within the room there was some noise. She opened the door. There laid Tails. On the bed. He was snoring softly and drooling slightly from the mouth. He began to talk in his sleep. "That's... my cookie. Give it... back." Tears once again came to the young bunny. Along with a great smile of relief. "TAILS!" she shouted with joy. Tails woke up just in time to see Cream land on him when she jumped across the room. Her arms were around him. She was crying into his shoulder. "Tails! Your alive! Your alive!" She looked into Tails'es sky blue eyes. "DON'T YOU DARE EVER SCARE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN!" she screamed into Tails'es face. The young fox put on a expression of fear and surprise, bending back his ears. "O...Kay." Cream continued to glare at him and then started to cry into his shoulder again.
Shadow rushed off to Tails's room. He turned a few corners and soon he was there. The door was open. He peeked inside and saw that Cream and Tails were in a hug. Shadow was right. Tails was still alive. Buuut still injured. He walked in and said "I guess you know?" Cream gave a gasp and looked behind her towards the door. "Why didn't you tell me he was alive?" asked the young bunny. "I only realized he was alive a few minutes ago. Now stand to the side Cream. I'm going to heal Tails. I can do that you know." Shadow used his power to heal Tails and then took off the bandages that covered Tails. "My power to heal only works if the patient is alive. I'm going to leave you two alone now."
Cream looked back into Tails's eyes. "Shadow's my new best friend," said Tails with a grin. They stared into each others eyes for a moment. "You don't know how relieved I am to see you alive," said Cream. Tails smiled at her and began to stare down at the bedding. He had the feeling every time he was around Amy. He had it with Cream too, but it was always stronger. Now it was at its peak. He finally new what to say, but he would say it later. All he had to do was ask her and he would tell her when they met up. It was time. "Cream?" "Yes Tails?" The young fox took a deep breath. "It's kind of dark out, and it's pretty far away, but there is going to be a great view of the moon and stars, over at Shooting Star Summit. The place that is well known for its frequent meteor showers. I want you to accompany me. Will you?" She stared at him for a moment. "... Accompany means 'come with me.'" "Oh sure!" "Great! Lets leave at seven. It might be late but it will be fun."
