Chapter 5: Holy crap! (A/N: Interesting title, no?)

Tails sadly turned to Sonic and and took a deep breath before saying: "Sonic, I'm sorry... but I don't want to come back with you..."

Sonic was terribly shocked. He felt a crushing feeling deep in his heart. He started to say something but was stopped by Shadow.

"You've made a wise choice young one. Come. We have places to go." Shadow said turning away.

"Tails! Don't do this..." Sonic cried.

"Sorry Sonic... but I am going with Shadow. Hopefully he'll be a better friend than you ever were!" Tails suddenly found herself screaming.

"What?" Sonic was getting even more upset.

"The only reason you pretended to be my friend was because you felt sorry for me! You thought I was weak! You thought I couldn't defend myself only because I'm small! Am I right?" Tails shouted.

Sonic felt even worse because that was how he felt in the beginning. "Tails... I'm sorry... I did feel that way in the beginning... but that's changed because I've seen how well you can fend for yourself. Just don't go with Shadow! He's probably going to double cross you!" Sonic cried with tears in his eyes!

"No Sonic! You just want me to come back so things would go back to normal! Well you know what? I never want to see you again! Goodbye!" Tails said running away.

Shadow watched as the sad and confused fox ran deeper into the forest. He laughed mockingly at Sonic.

"Better luck next time, hedgehog." With that he dashed away.

Sonic fell to his knees and cried. "No... she's gone... and it's all my fault... I didn't mean for this to happen..."

-3 days later-

Sonic sat on his bed and cried. He missed Tails. He had never felt so horrible before in his life. (A/N: I probably felt as horrible as he does when I accidently put salt instead of sugar in my moms coffee... LOL!) He sighed and thought to himself about what Tails said.

'I never want to see you again! Goodbye!'

Sonic shuddered at those words. then wondered what Tails and Shadow were doing.

Meanwhile...

Tails and Shadow were standing in front of a closed cave. Shadow opened it and walked inside. Tails followed catiously. They were inside an they were surounded by volcanic magma.

"Are you sure this is safe?" Tails asked slowly.

"Would I betray you dear sweet Tails?" Shadow asked softly.

"I'm not entirely sure..." she replied quietly.

Suddenly a creepy laugh was heard. It echoed throughout the entire cave.

A familiar voice was heard. It aid: "Good work Shadow! You have done well."

"Thank you Dr. Eggman. It was simple." Shadow replied with a smirk.

Tails gasped. How could she have been so stupid? She tried to run but was suddenly grabbed and thrown into some strange machine.

"Shadow! Help! Let me out!" she screamed.

"Sorry Tails, but this is for your own good." Shadow replied with a smirk. He laughed along with Dr. Eggman.

Tails was tricked! Is this the end?

-End of Chapter-

Me- Doncah just love suspense?
