Happy late birthday to 00velocity!

I don't own Sonic.

... ... ... Tails' POV... ... ...

After wandering the streets for some time, I finally surrendered and collapsed on a nearby bench on the sidewalk. 'Where could Sonic be?' I wondered. After a moment of rest, I proceeded to the train station to return back to my home in the Mystic ruins.

I glanced about at the happy couples; they seemed to be everywhere. Holding hands, nuzzling one another, kissing, smiling at one another, their eyes meeting in passion. I couldn't take it, I could not sit and watch the joy they had that I so desperately desired.

Unexpectedly, I felt a cold, bitter hand gently grasp my shoulder.

"Hello Miles, I have come for you." said raspy monotone voice. Panicked, I spun around, expecting to see a psychopathic murderer, a gun in his hands. Instead, I saw the cobalt hedgehog I loved so much laughing hysterically, along with Rouge, Knuckles, Shadow, and Amy. Cream ,being the polite girl she was, was softly giggling, so as not to make me feel more stupid.

"You should have seen your face! That was awesome! You were so freaked out, I thought you were having a heart attack!" he laughed.

"Oh come on, it wasn't that funny." I answered, feeling embarrassed. I uneasily shifted, everybody was staring at me, including strangers on the street. I didn't like being the center of attention. It made me feel anxious. After settling down, we all began to chat.

"So are we all going somewhere, or did you all just get together to watch Sonic scare me?" I asked.

"We're all going over to Cream's house, wanna come?" replied Amy. Though Amy was my friend, I did feel a bit of rivalry with her since she was always after Sonic. Every time she said 'I love you' to him, it hurt me. I had also heard him slip in a few comments about Amy like, 'Wow, Amy looks pretty nice today.' so I was starting to worry about her.

"Sure, why not." I answered giving a small shrug. Then something caught my eye. Sonic was looking at Amy in a certain way, the sort of way I looked at him. Now I was really beginning to worry. Was he falling for her? I was about to ask to talk to Sonic privately, but we were beginning to attract a crowd of media. I never understood why the media always wanted to know about celebrities, even if nothing interesting was happening. What could they write about with the pictures of our small group just standing there. It made little sense to me. Whatever the reason, we simply departed for Cream's house.

The truth was, Cream did not live in a house. She lived in a mansion, despite the fact only Cream and her mother lived there. Cream's mother had inherited a large sum of money, which is why they had so much money. Even though she could have retired with the money, Vanilla continued to work, and was kind with her money and donated much of it to charities.

When we arrived and opened the door, Cheese and Chocola greeted us, then simply went back to their daily activities such as sleeping. We all sat down somewhere in Cream's living room, and began once again to chat.

As Sonic spoke, I did not listen to his words. I was too wrapped up in my thoughts of him. I sat, my eyes refusing to glance away from him. I remembered that way he looked at Amy. Could he really love her? What if he did?

"Hey Tails, stop looking at Sonic for a sec, will ya? It's freaking me out." stated Knuckles, dragging me from my thoughts. Everybody once again laughed.

"Why are you always looking at him anyway?" Rouge asked jokingly.

"Why not?" Sonic replied for me grinning.

"Because it's really weird! That's why!" Amy jestingly. I hung my head in shame, silently cursing my affections. I couldn't stand their jokes much longer.

After a few minutes of listening to their laughter, Cream asked, "Really Tails, why were you looking at him so long?"

"I love him. That's why." was my answer.

I love cliffies, but sadly, I may not be able to write for some time. I will try to get the next chapter up as fast as I can. If you are reading this please please PLEASE review! Just say 'I read this' is fine, I just like to know whether people even look at my stories for a second. I love constructive criticism, if you leave some, I will really appreciate it! Thanks!
