Man I got to get back on top of things, here is another chapter, sorry for the long wait, I'm gonna try and come out with chapters more frequently, thanks for your patience. Your review have really helped me alter my decision of letting this one slide... so keep up the compliments they do make a difference ^^.

The older Tails slouched in his seat slightly; he was in a tight spot. His mind raced quickly as he tried to pull something out of the hat, something that would cover him and ensure that the future wouldn't be negatively impacted. He thought of something, however when it came out it was all over.

"But Au- uh Sally..." Tails said before biting his tongue, he knew he had blown his cover wide open.

Sally jumped up with a quick laughed startling Selim. "Au-uh? You were gonna say aunt weren't you?" She smiled. "Actually I knew you were Tails from the start, it was painfully obvious. I just think that you have everyone else buying this Selim Reworp bit."

The older Vulpine sighed in relief, it felt like a weight was lifted off his chest. He should have known that Sally would have known that he was acting, she was very good at observing things such as this. He was a fool to think he could fool her.

"So how did you do it?" The princess asked with a laugh. "You invent some time machine or something to correct something that went wrong during this time?"

"Actually, I don't know how this happened." Selim said sadly shaking his head. "One minute I was thinking I wasn't gonna make it, and the next I find myself in the Great Forest of my childhood, one that wa-"

The older vulpine had to jump when the leader of the Freedom Fighters abruptly interrupted him. "Selim you are smart, so you know as well as I, it is best we not speak of the future you have witnessed. By telling me these things you could be causing them indirectly. Time is an interesting thing, we all wish to correct our past mistakes, however I feel that by correcting those mistakes will only lead to further mistakes. You have always known that we are at death's doorstep, but we don't back down, as obviously you haven't. So ask yourself, if you were to say that one of us would meet a tragic end at such and such a time and in such and such a way that I would be surprised?"

The older Tails understood, but was also pained because he couldn't release all the knowledge he knew, all the secrets he had held over the past 24 hours. It killed him that he would have to hold it in, for as long as he could. He felt himself break down a little, his sadness easily seen, it was just something he had to do because he had held it back for so long. He had to appear confident in times of turmoil and now he just realized his first chance to let it all out wasn't truly there. It was all too much.

"I'm sorry Tails, I'm sure that you've had it rough, but we must move on and figure out how we can return you to where you belong, its what is right, you bring here a great risk." Sally said.

"So when did I get here?" The vulpine asked changing the subject. "I don't seem to remember quite when this was."

"Let's see," Sally pondered a little bit. "It has been a year and a half after we stopped the Doomsday Project."

Tails now knew exactly when it was, the Doomsday Project was when they thought they had finally destroyed the evil doctor once and for all. But it wasn't to be, not too long after chemical factories became active once again, and a creation of destructive proportions came from under the crust of Mobious. The Death Egg, after Sonic and him with the help of others, and a new friend and rival Knuckles stopped the evil Robotnik from securing world domination, it should be about a half a year at most since that had happened. However, that also means that it was soon, very soon that Sonic and Sally would meet their demise.

"Aunt Sally, please-"The vulpine began desperately.

"Please don't call me that Selim, as much as you want to, because once you start it'll be hard for you to stop. That is why I must use your fabricated name. You see, I don't want to call you Tails in front of everyone, though it is hard we must learn to cope with it. So call me princess, or Sally, just don't say aunt." The princess said moving back to her seat. "I'll let you go on missions to let you get your mind off of this, we can use all the help we can get."

Miles just nodded and sighed. "I'll do my best princess." He mumbled as he stood up.

"Good Selim. Now you should get some rest, tomorrow is your first day as a Freedom Fighter." She then giggled a little and said in a quieter tone. "Well, not really, but you get my point. Welcome to the team Selim." She said reaching her hand out in a handshake.

Selim reached out and grasped the Princess's hand in his own, and weakly shook. He couldn't believe he'd have to remain a stranger amongst old friends. "I'll do my best Sally." He said as he released his hand and walked out the door.

Sally sighed and slumped in her chair, doing the right thing is difficult, and frustrating. She wished she could apologize.

Tails went to his room, and felt like slamming the door, he didn't care what Sally thought, and as long as he was here he will do what he can to change the horrible future that awaited them all. He found his journal and his pen, the second day, and already he has gone through five pages. He started writing.

Why am I here? Is this some cruel joke, to send me back and make me just to witness the traumatizing events of my childhood? Sally refuses to listen to me, she knows who I am, but she doesn't know what I came from. She wishes not to know of the future, she thinks it is something that has been decided, that it is destiny, no matter what I tell her that the same thing will happen.
This cannot be the case, I refuse to believe it. Fate isn't something that is determined, how can she believe the future is pre-determined when she is leading such a resistance? When she is trying to fight the death of a planet, was Mobius's destruction fate? We determine what will happen to us, we create, we destroy, we can rebuild. The star has finally answered my call, after almost a decade. I will not waste this wish; I will save Sonic and Sally.
Worse yet, I think time is short. It was about a year after we, or they had stopped Death Egg and Knuckles became an ally. I estimate it will happen sometime this week; it was a few days after me and Sonic went to the Junk Yard.

The older Miles stopped writing and put his journal into the white drawer; he settled into his bed and was restless for a great amount of time, contemplating how he was going to change the future. However sleep soon caught up with him and he dozed off into slumber.

Elsewhere at about that time, in Robotropolis, which had been rebuilt quickly after its collapse two years ago, the city was bustling with excitement, well... at least Snively was. "Well, well, what do we have here." He said as he saw the bird enter the city, it was obviously rouge and wasn't listening to any of his commands. "Little Freedom Fighters must have thought they out smarted me, sending in reconnaissance robots to do their dirty work." He flips on an intercom. "Swatbots detain the rouge aviation robot in sector C." Snively was enjoying his freedom without his meddlesome relative to act like the commander, he actually owed Sonic one for killing him about two years ago. The dastardly nephew was far more cunning then the late Dr. anyway. However, his rule was still well hidden, Snively made sure that the Freedom Fighters believed that Robotnik was still very much alive. He did this by making machine replicas of his uncle, it wasn't too difficult, his image haunted him for so long, his growling sneer, those laser red eyes. "INTUDER DETAINED." A swatbot called over the intercom. With that the little man told the robot to bring the defective bird to the main chamber. It only took a little tinkering with in order to find out that it had been reprogrammed as a carrier pigeon for the freedom fighters, and not only that, but where it was to meet up with the spy. "Send the Swatbots to Sector E, it looks like we have a mole problem." Snively sneered.
