Chapter Five
Nothing much to say right now. Enjoy! =)
Amy managed to find me a pair of gray sweats and a red hoodie to cover me until we could find some suitable clothes. Then, being as gentlemanly as I possibly could, I held the door open for Amy to reveal that we seemed to be nowhere near a shopping district... or anything for that matter. We seemed to be in a clearing in the middle of the forest.
"Uh, Amy? Where are we?" I asked, very confused.
"We're in the middle of the forest." She replied as if it were obvious. "The location was a great place to set up a base, as well as a garage for Tails." She motioned towards a much larger building than the house we just exited out of. While the house was a cheerful yellow color, the garage was more like a giant warehouse. The whole thing was made of concrete, with windows lining the walls every 10 feet. The place was huge! Amy headed towards the towering building, and, after standing in awe for a while, I quickly caught up to her and followed her in.
If I thought the outside was big, the inside looked even bigger. The place was filled with machines, robots, planes, vehicles, gadgets, gizmos, and everything else in between! This was a gear-head's paradise!
"Tails!" Amy called, cupping her hands around her mouth. "Are you in here?!"
"Yeah, I'll be down in just a sec!" The young fox replied from somewhere within the warehouse. I heard the sound of what sounded like small propellers, as the orange fox lifted into the air and headed in our direction. Tails settled down in front of us. Again, the video games didn't do his size justice, as he came up to just about my elbow, about eight inches shorter than Amy, and about a foot and a half shorter than me. He was still pretty short, but that was expected. I mean, he couldn't have been more than 12 years old! He was just about as tall as Jacob!
"Hey, looks like you're feeling better!" Tails said to me. I tried to hold in my excitement. Tails was, by far, one of my favorite characters! I just loved him, even more so than Sonic!
"Y-yeah, loads better! Thanks for asking!" I said, trying not to let my excitement show.
"Hey Tails, we need to go Downtown." Amy said. "Josh here needs some new clothes. Mind flying us over?"
"Yeah, no problem!" The fox replied, nodding. "I need to head down there anyways, I ran out of parts to fix the Tornado."
"The Tornado?" I asked, feeling giddy at the mention of the plane. "Ah... C-can I see it?"
Tails looked a little confused. "Yeah, sure. You seem excited... Do you know about it?"
"I'll explain later." I said.
After having a "fan girl" moment over the Tornado, we all hopped into a different plane (I wasn't sure what this one was called, but I thought it was on Sonic X or something.) and headed Downtown. I explained who I was, how I knew about the Tornado and everyone else, and my situation to Tails during the flight. I was just finishing up as we touched down in a huge city.
"...And so Jacob teleported home, I was dropped out of a tower, and I really don't remember much after that. Someone saved me obviously, but I don't really remember who..." I said, deep in thought. Tails smiled, his eyes full of sympathy.
"Don't worry, we'll get you home as soon as we can." He said reassuringly. "As for who saved you... well, you'll find out soon enough."
"Oh come on man, tell me!" I begged.
"Nope!" Tails said, closing his eyes and turning away as he crossed his arms across his chest. He opened one eye slightly as a mischievous grin crossed his face.
"You're so rude!" I laughed. "Well, you won't need to tell me anyway, I think I know who saved me!" I taunted back as I hopped out of the plane.
"Oh yeah? Who then?" Amy challenged.
"So you're on his side?" I asked.
"Yep. Who saved you?" Amy asked again.
Challenge Accepted.
"Hmm... well it can't be Shadow-"
"Or can it?" Tails interrupted.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Shadow can have his moments. He's not a total Jerk." Amy said, rolling her eyes a bit.
"Um... okay... I guess it... could have been Shadow... maybe..." I said, stalling for time as I tried to think of another person.
"Just face it Josh, you don't know!" Tails said, wagging his finger.
"Okay, fine, I don't." I admitted. "But will you tell me who?"
Tails shook his head. "I think it'll be more fun if you try to figure it out." He said.
Challenge Accepted... again.
"Fair deal. So, did one of you two save me?" The two shook their heads no. "...Wait, anyone could have saved me! Literally anyone! I mean, there are tons of people here, aren't there? At least give me a clue!"
Amy thought about it for a moment before finally saying, "It's someone we're friends with." She said, motioning to her and Tails.
"Noted." I said. "Now let's go see the city!"

Josh: You know, if you write longer chapters, you can add more detail and story.
Get off of it!
Josh: No, I like messing with you!
Is it because I took you away from Jacob and made you wear pink pajamas?
Josh: Nah, Jacob's safe, and I'm over the pajamas. Like I said, it's fun to mess with you!
...So, you're not mad?
Josh: Not really. Make sure to review if you guys saw something he needs to correct!

Josh: ...contest?
