The Heart's Reward
Chapter 4: Tailsko the Genius?
Written by: KingSnow5092
"Mom, Dad, I like you to meet Sonic the Hedgehog, my best-friend!" Tailsko said, gesturing her hand to the blue hedgehog.
Sonic waved at them. "Hi."
The parents of Tailsko were both tall orange foxes and they only one tail. One was a male fox with blue eyes, one of them had a black eye patch on it from the war incident, short brown hair, white muzzle/inner-fur, a blue Royal Army uniform, a sword in his suit, and red shoes, his name Amadeus. The other was a female fox with blue eyes, short brown hair, white muzzle/inner-fur, a purple dress, and purple shoes, her name was Rosemary.
"Hello Sonic, it's nice to meet you." Amadeus said, holding out his hand which Sonic shook. Then they let go. "It's nice to see our daughter has made a friend." Rosemary said. "Pleasure's all mine." Sonic said shaking Rosemary's hand. Then they let go again. "Mom, is it okay if Sonic stayed over for supper?" Tailsko asked her mother. The parents looked at each other then back at their daughter and nodded. Sonic and Tailsko cheered.
Tailsko led Sonic up to her room while her parents set supper. Tailsko's room was big filled with a orange bed her size, her own bathroom, a dresser with make up on top of it, stuffed animals, the one on her bed was a hedgehog her favorite one, a phone, and a fan in case it gets hot at night. Sonic looked around the room amazed by what Tailsko had. Then Sonic sat on her soft bed, it felt comfortable. As he began to lay down he felt a lump in the fox's pillow. The hedgehog got up and looked at her pillow which was blue. Sonic removed the pillow to find a big red book.
Sonic grabbed the book and read the title "How to fix and build machines". Sonic opened the book and began to read the pages. Tailsko was brushing her long hair at the time wanting to look neat for supper. Then she saw in the mirror that Sonic was reading her book! Tailsko gasped, she turned and screamed. "NO!" She grabbed the book from her hedgehog friend.
The blue hedgehog looked at his fox friend in bewilderment. Tailsko blushed in shame, her bestfriend now knows that she was a genius and works at machines. She was afraid that he might make fun of her like Darkheart and the other animals do. "Sonic, how much in this book did you read?" Tailsko asked. Sonic walked over to her and put his arm around her. "I've read many things in that book Tailsko...and I love the ideas you're thinking!" Sonic said, giving her the thumbs up. Tailsko smiled. "You do?" Sonic nodded. "Of course, I do. Maybe tomorrow you can help me fix my toy plane that need some adjustments." Sonic asked.
"I will!" Tailsko said, putting her book down.
Tailsko then kissed Sonic's cheek. Sonic blushed as he rubbed his cheek, but he smiled. "What was that for?" Sonic asked, laughing.
"For not making fun of me." Tailsko answered.
Sonic looked at her in confusion and asked. "Why would I make fun of you, Tailsko?"
Tailsko sighed as she looked down and said "Well, you see Sonic. Back at kindergarten before I met you I was bullied by the other animals because of my two tails and my skills..."
-Flashback-
At West-Side Island Kindergarten, three kids were bullying the 5-year old Tailsko. A male black and white skunk was holding Tailsko by the arms to stop her from the inevitable. A female orange tiger was standing over the table which Tailsko's toy plane was while having a baseball bat in her hand. A male white shark was watching this but did nothing to stop it.
"No! Please don't break it!" Tailsko cried.
"Smash that invention! It's worthless!" The skunk cried out.
"Yeah smash it!" The shark said.
"No! Don't smash it!" Tailsko pleaded. But the tigress raised her bat and smashed the toy plane. "There, this plane is nothing but junk now!" The tigress said. "My plane you smashed it!" Tailsko cried.
"Of course, I smashed it!" The tigress said.
"Why did you do that?" Tailsko asked.
"Because you're a freak!" The shark sneered.
"Yeah, and a geek too!" The skunk agreed.
"You're a geek freak!" The tigress said, pointing at her with a baseball bat.
"Geek freak! Geek Freak! Geek Freak! Geek Freak!" The kids taunted her. Tailsko felt tears in her eyes she was about to cry until...
"Hey!" Shouted a female voice.
The three mean kids turned and saw the teacher, a tall female blue otter with her arms crossed. "WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?" The otter shouted. Tailsko explained to her that the bullies smashed her invention and they called her names like geek or freak, and they called her a new name geek freak!
The otter grabbed the kids spanked them, Tailsko smiled at the sight but her plane was still smashed, she grabbed the plane and cried. Then the otter stopped spanking the kids and put them down. "Now, you three sit in the corner and think about what you've done!" The otter said sternly. The kids walked over to the time out corner of the school and sat down with pouts on their faces.
"This is all the geek freak's fault!" The tigress said.
"Yeah! It's her fault that she has two tails and is a genius!" The shark agreed.
"I wish she was never born at all, she doesn't deserve to live in fact she doesn't deserve to have friends at all!" The skunk shouted. The shark and the tigress nodded in agreement. "HEY! NO TALKING DURING TIME OUT!" The otter shouted. The bullies turned back to the corner. The otter then walked over to Tailsko.
The vixen had heard what the three kids said about her, thanks to her sensitive fox ears. She cried even more not just for her invention but for herself for being a freak and a nerd. The otter came over to Tailsko and patted her on the back, then the fox hugged her. The otter returned the hug as if she was her own child.
-End of Flashback-
Tailsko had tears in her eyes but she wiped them away so Sonic doesn't see them. Tailsko didn't want to think she was a crybaby too. Sonic felt angry and sad at the same time. He felt angry that other bullies picked on Tailsko before Darkheart, and he felt sorry for Tailsko that she was being bullied for being smart and being a geek too. Now, Tailsko was being bullied for having two tails, being beautiful, and being friends with a hedgehog. Sonic wished that he was there to beat up those kids who made her life miserable. But he was also glad the teacher was there to stop them, she may have stopped the bullying but Tailsko's plane was gone.
Tailsko was crying so hard, that she ran over to her bed and cried at the painful memories of being bullied by the other animals. "Why couldn't they just be my friends instead of bullies." Tailsko asked. Sonic walked over to her bed and wrapped his arms around her, Tailsko accepted his embrace. Sonic rubbed her back and shushed her a bit. Tailsko was crying on his chest. "Oh Sonic, why does everyone hate me?" Tailsko asked.
Sonic sighed. "Tailsko, nobody hates you. I love you and even your parents love you too. I know you're going through the hard time but you shouldn't let those bullies bother you. So what if you have two tails, look at me Tailsko I'm a blue hedgehog and that doesn't bother me one bit. And I think you're a great inventor, so what if the bullies don't think so. I think your inventions are great. You're deserve to have friends and also you deserve to live and you're a good friend to have." Sonic explained to her.
Tailsko looked up at Sonic with some tears in her eyes. "You think so, Sonic?"
Sonic nodded. "I know so!"
Tailsko smiled, she was happy for once in her life. She had a friend who cares for her and doesn't make fun of her two tails and her skills. "Thank you Sonic." Sonic smiled too. "You're welcome." They continued to hug, then they look at each other. "Wow, Sonic is a good friend he doesn't make fun of me for my skills and my tails! I have a strange feeling that I'm in love with him. Wait a minute, he's my friend just a friend. I'm not ready for that yet." Tailsko thought.
"Tailsko is so cute, I'm glad I'm around to protect her from the bullies that picked on her because of her twin tails. She also looks so beautiful so much that I want to kiss her. Wait a minute. She's my friend, just a friend. I'm not ready for that yet." Sonic thought.
"Oh what the heck! Just one kiss then that's it." Tailsko thought.
"Oh what the heck just one kiss then that's it." Sonic thought the same.
Sonic and Tailsko were still hugging each other and then they moved in closer to kiss they almost do it until...
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
"Sonic! Tailsko! Supper's ready!" Amadeus called. Sonic and Tailsko looked at the door, then they looked back at each other. Then they let go and exclaimed "Oh!" Sonic and Tailsko blushed in embarrassment. "Sorry Tailsko." Sonic said, his face as red as a tomato. "It's okay Sonic." Tailsko said, blushing. They both said nothing for a long time. Until Sonic spoke up. "Maybe, we should go down for supper." Tailsko nodded. Then the two friends walked down the stairs together to eat.
Meanwhile, at Darkheart's house, which was a large black abandoned mansion where Darkheart invited his friends without the parents knowing while they are away as usual. Inside, a large bedroom which had a large purple bed with a red pillow on it, a trunk filled with weapons, cigarettes, matches, and other bully things that Darkheart needs, pictures of Tailsko all over the wall, which he took of her when she wasn't looking, a desk with paper on it, and a closet filled with other things as well. Right now, Darkheart was pacing back and forth while Slick and Turbo were sitting on his bed, afraid of what might happened next.
Then Darkheart stopped and turned to his minions giving them a cold glare. "You two have failed to capture that fox!" "It wasn't our fault, Darkheart." Slick protested. Then Turbo stood up and said "Yes, that's right it's that blue hedgehog's fault!" The purple eagle glared at them. "Not only you have failed to capture the fox but you also got us in trouble by Principal Vector!" Darkheart shouted. "Don't worry, Darkheart. I won't happen again, honest!" Turbo said, waving his hands in the air. Darkheart grinned. "Of course not. It won't happen again because I have a plan!"
Slick and Turbo looked at each other and then back at Darkheart. "What's the plan?" The red iguana asked. The eagle walked over to the reptiles and whispered the plan to them. When the bird was done he said to them. "Now, remember the plan?" Darkheart asked. Slick nodded. "Yeah, I remember the plan!" Turbo wasn't so sure about the plan though. "I don't know about the plan it sounds kinda risky." Turbo said. The bird glared at the turtle who hid under his shell. "Of course, it's risky we are bullies right? We will get that fox!" Darkheart shouted at him. Turbo then realized that Darkheart was right. Then the turtle popped out of his shell and said "YEAH! YOU'RE RIGHT! LET'S DO THIS!"
"Good." Darkheart said, smiling. Then he turned to the readers while giving them a dark scary glare and said "Tailsko will be mine!"
