File 9 Ballad of A Fallen Angel
Entry 1 Date with Disaster
Miserie kept an eye on Tails. He had her worried sick. He was going to be a decoy for the whole group. Even though she wanted to relax like the rest of the group, she had a feeling this would be the last time for anything to be this way. And she wanted to remember this. This…this was the best time of her life.
The best.
"Right Miserie?" Talon looked expectantly at Miserie.
"Uhm…" She said, smiling.
"Just say no." Shadow told her. "always say no to perverts."
"I'm not a pervert!"
"Shadow, don't make fun of him!" Miserie scolded. "he's mentally ill!"
"I'm not mentally ill!"
"It's okay to make fun of him." Shadow told her. "It's why he was born."
"I wasn't born to be a pervert!"
"What are you talking about?" Miserie asked Talon.
Amy laughed. "guys, shut up," She said. The rest of the group seemed so relaxed. Sonic was up front with Tails, directing Knuckles. Talon, Amy, and Shadow were sitting on the tail of the plane. Miserie was sitting there too.
'What do we do if they shoot!' Miserie thought. 'What if we die? What if the world explodes into a hundred million pieces!'
"I bet I can yell louder than you!" Talon taunted.
"What is this, Kindergarten?" Shadow said.
"You're saying that cause you're scared you'll lose."
"I'm saying that because you're a first grade moron."
"This is stupid." Amy said.
"Wait! I have a whole new list of insults!" Talon said.
"Here comes another episode of wasting time with Talon." Shadow said sarcastically.
"Uhm, okay. Your brother's so ugly"
"Don't have a brother."
"Your father's so stupid"
"If I don't have a mother, how in the hell would I have a father. You are one creepy faggot."
"Your grandma's so old"
"no mother, no father, no grandmother."
"Your sister then! Your sister's so fat, people when people walk around her, they know they've been around the world!" Talon said.
There was a long awkward silence.
"I win." Talon said smugly.
"I'm fat!" Miserie exclaimed. She widened her eyes at Amy. "I am? I'm fat?"
"Oh, Miserie, you're not fat!" Amy told her. She patted Miserie's hand. "Don't listen to him. He's being silly." Amy glared at him. "Shut up with the family jokes."
Talon stared at Miserie like she was something weird he picked out of his nose. "You're…his sister?" He said. He looked at Shadow. "no, no you aren't. Look, you're two different species!"
"So what?" Amy spat.
"You went a little to far there, Talon." Shadow said. Then he looked at Miserie. "you're not fat." He told her. "Now if you wanna see fat, there's this guy named Big, and HE is fat."
"I know, right?" Amy said, turning towards Shadow. "I told him he needed the Fatkins Diet (Taken from Foamy) but nooo, he didn't listen!"
Miserie looked at her hands. 'What if they're lying? What if I am fat?' she asked herself. 'I need to make sure. Maybe…maybe Tails would know.' She got up.
"Wait, Miserie!" Talon said. She glared at him, and he shrank back. Then she smiled.
"I'm gonna go see what Sonic and Tails are doing." She told him. Talon nodded.
Miserie walked over to where Sonic and Tails were talking. They didn't notice her at first.
"I guess…" Tails said.
"Just do it, Tails!" Sonic said. He sounded like a coach. "You can do it, buddy!"
Then Tails looked up into his mirror and saw Miserie. "Hey Miserie." He said.
Miserie smiled. "hi Sonic, hi Tails." She said. Then she frowned. "Am I fat?"
"Huh?" Sonic asked. "What kind of weird question is that?"
"you're not fat. Not even close." Tails said. He gave her a weird look. "why?"
"Talon called me fat."
"Isn't that because he's a pervert?" Sonic asked.
Tails laughed. "That and he's mentally ill."
Miserie grinned. "Thanks guys." She told them. "can I hang out up here for a while then?"
"Sure." Sonic said. "I'm going back anyway. Amy isn't talking about anything weird, right?"
"She was talking about diets." Miserie said. "And A big guy."
"why should I expect normal when talking about Amy?" Sonic asked. "See ya later."
"See ya," Tails said, and Miserie repeated him. Once Sonic was gone, Tails looked at Miserie.
"…hm?" She asked. He shook his head.
"Nothing, just…you look uneasy." He told her.
Miserie sighed. "I'm worried about you." She told him. He smiled.
"Still?" he asked. "I'll be fine."
"but there are so many bad possiblities! There aren't many good ones!" She told him.
"Miserie, you're looking at the bad side." Tails told her. He faced forward. "Look at the bright side of things."
"The bright side?" she asked.
"For example," Tails said, "If I gave you a glass with water, is it half full or half empty?"
"It's both." Miserie said. "It's both. If you say, it's half full, you're lying to yourself, because it's also half empty. And if you say it's half full, you're lying to yourself because it's half empty." She paused. "Or am I supposed to say something else?"
"Miserie, you're supposed to choose one!" Tails told her.
"I was?" she asked.
"Would you rather have a glass half full of water, or half empty?"
"I don't like this question. Life isn't something to be compared to a glass of water. Life has no formula. I can't say life is H2O. Life is random and unexpected. How would any of this have to do with all the dangerous possibilities there are in this mission we're undertaking?"
Tails smiled. "I like that about you, Miserie," he told her. "you're totally truthful."
"You do?" Miserie asked. "That's nice. Thank you."
"Tails, I see them!" Knuckles voice crackled in on a radio.
"Alright. You got to the Master Emerald on Angel Island. If you find the Chaos Emeralds let us know!" Tails said.
"Alright!" Knuckles said.
"It's beginning…" Miserie said. Tails looked at her.
"What's wrong? Are you still worried?"
Miserie sat down and looked at her hands. "but it's your mother you're up against." She said, suddenly.
"I know that." Tails said. "But I have to do what is right."
"But…Actions are not 'right' or 'wrong'." Miserie said. She paused. "Actions are done. It's what comes afterward that lets you know 'right' from 'wrong'."
Tails was silent. Miserie looked up at him. "Right?" she asked hopefully.
Finally Tails said, "You're amazing, Miserie."
"I'm just telling the truth."
"I like that quote…'Actions are not right or wrong. Actions are done. It's what comes afterward that lets you know right from wrong.'" Tails repeated dreamily. "You're smart, you know, Miserie."
"…Sometimes." Miserie nodded. "Sometimes."
