Chapter 4: Tails and Cream

Note: COME ON, GUYS! No one is reviewing! Please review! I like reviews, whether they're good or bad! Review!

"Well, um..." Sonic stammered. "I...can't swim..."

"Hmm, then that's your own problem. Now be gone!"

And with that, Chaos swung his arm, making a bright flash fill the room. When the light cleared, Sonic and Amy were gone.

"Sonic!" Tails exclaimed.

"They can't hear you, fox boy" said Chaos. "He and his little girlfriend are back at their homes. But enough about them. You, fox, are going to be paired with the bunny."

The two looked at each other, nodded, then turned back to chaos.

"Your job," he continued, "considering your age, will be the easiest of the three"

They both smiled.

"Rob the Station Square National Bank."

Their smiles quickly faded. "That's awful!" Cream finally spoke up. "How could you make us do such a thing!"

Chaos stretched his bluish, gel-like arm out about 20 times its original length, and then smacked Cream all the way toward the other side of the room. Everyone gasped with fear.

"Anyone else have any comments?" Chaos asked, while slowly returning his arm to normal length. Everyone stayed quiet. "Good."

Cream, on the other side of the room, started to cry quietly. Knuckles, Rouge, and Tails ran to help her out.

"I've made my point clear," said Chaos. "Get to the bank, take the money, leave. Now get to it!"

He waved his arm through the air, and a blinding white light occurred. After a few seconds passed, the light cleared. Knuckles and Rouge found out that they, along with chaos, were the only ones left.

(8:36 A.M. Tails' room)

The light outside shone through the window. Tails tossed and turned in his round, yellow bed. Finally, the light was too much, and woke up Tails. He yawned and stretched his arms out. "Oh, that was such a weird dream..." he said. "Remember that blue guy? He..." He stopped, noticing Sonic wasn't in his bed. In fact, he wasn't in the room at all. "Hmm, must be at the grocery store. Oh well, I'll tell him when he gets back."

He got out of bed and looked out the window. It was a sunny day, with birds flying, the waves swaying, and everything looked just perfect. "Hmm, I would usually go to the lab right now and work on some things..." he said. "Well, there's nothing to fix anyway. I'll just go for a walk."

He turned away from the window, ran across the room, and went out the door.

(9:01 A.M. Station Square, 6th Street)

Tails walked down the street, viewing his surroundings. 6th street was amazing, no matter what eyes got the chance to see it. Cars slowly drove around the block.Tall, 5 story buildings everywhere you look. Flowers, trees, and grass where cement, building and street didn't occupy, and friendly people standing in the streets, that will always want to talk to you. It even had a casino, highway, theme park, and beach there! Anyway, back to Tails.

"Let's see... I guess I can go to Twinkle Park... maybe, never mind, I'll just head to the beach." He went through the hotel lobby, passed the two elevators, and went through the sliding the glass door. Outside, there was a pool, two girls, and an entrance to the beach. The fox went around the pool and toward the beach's entrance.

"Ah, this is a nice place to relax," Tails said. "And what a bright day out, too! Hmm, I guess I'll make a sandcastle!"

Tails found a spot near the water and started building his castle. Being a master architect, it wasn't much of a challenge. Then a familiar, high-pitched voice stopped him.

"Hi Tails!"

Tails turned around. It was Cream. She had her arms behind her, as always, but looked kind of sad.

"Hi, Cream!" said Tails. He noticed how sad she looked. "You okay?"

"Well, umm, did you have a weird dream last night? We were all gathered in the big room?"

Tails didn't like how she sounded. "Yeah... wait, how did you know about-"

Cream pulled her arms out from behind her back. She held a round, silver-like object with a red light.

Tails stared at it, and couldn't find anything to say. "Oh," was all that came out.

"Tails, I'm scared," Cream cried. "I don't want to do this! It's too mean!"

"But Cream, we have to!" Tails said. "If we don't..." he shuddered. "The point is, we're doing it."

Cream sighed. "Okay, I guess we'll do it. But how are we going to get it done? I mean, it is a bank..."

"Let's go to my lab. We can go over the plan there."

Cream signed again. "Okay..." she said, and then followed Tails to 6th street.

Tails put his hand on her shoulder. "It'll be okay, Cream. We'll be just fine..."

Will their break-in succeed? Will they get caught? Is there a new couple forming? Tune in for the next time I feel like updating!
