Ok. Everyone is probably sharpening their pitchforks, marching to run me out of town because this took so long. Look, the truth is I have been looking all over the internet, trying to find a fic that will give me some kind of inspiration (and I don't mean copy their fic.) The truth is…… I found nothing. So, I'll write this as best I can without any inspiration. Here we go:
Story begins
Tails was rolling everything that had happened in the last few hours in his head. He had met 5 very strange people, had them knocked out, dragged onto the assorted comfy stuff in his house, and where the heck was Sonic?
'Maybe I should just surf the internet for a while.'
He left to his back room where he jumped into his big, office-style computer chair, spun the chair once for the hell of it, and logged on. He had a mini super computer that would put anything G.U.N. had to shame, so, it took him seconds to boot it up and get online. His homepage had a current news section which was reporting on the odd seismic activity going on in the outskirts of town (remember this. It's kind of important later on) Tails gave it little attention. The small tremors had killed a couple of trees. No real damage to Station square.
Next he checked his e-mail. He had one new message among an inbox full of Amy's e-mails of trying to get Tails to convince Sonic to go out with her. So he started the five minuet process of deleting them all. After which, he got to the new e-mail. It turned out to be a message from G.U.N.
Date: August 6, XXXX
Message for: Miles "Tails" Prower
Body: Thank you for the modification blue-prints to our G.U.N. Satellite web.
You have done a great deed for your country and the money has been placed into your account. Also G.U.N. Commander Jacques would like a privet audience with you.
Signed,
G.U.N. operative 11-67-B
Hummm. What Would Jacques want? As if he didn't know, Every time Tails makes some big advancement in GUN tech, Jacques offers him a full time job with GUN. It always makes him laugh that he can't get a job at the local burger joint because of his age, but he can get a job as the lead technician/ research and development branch of the biggest global defense agency in the history of war. Whatever. Those GUN bustards always take credit for his tech.
Just when he was about to close down his inbox, he herd a noise coming from outside.
"Come on Sonic! Just one date?"
"NO. WAY."
So that's what took him so long. That was definitely Amy and once again, she was trying to get out with Sonic. Again.
"Mr. Sonic," Said a much quieter voice. Tails' ears twitched with recognition. It was Cream's voice. "Amy is a very nice person, once you get past the noise. I think she suits you well" Tails laughed at this. He knew what was coming next
"Y-Yeah? Well….What do you know about love anyway?! You're only 6!" Tails absolutely knew Sonic was blushing
"So, you do love her? Please teach me what I don't know about love, Mr. Sonic." Tails started to crack up loudly at this.
"Yeah. Enlighten us, Dr. loveboat" Amy said, suppressing a laugh.
"Gahhh! Uh, WHO WANTS LEMONADE, EH? I WANT LEMONADE. YOU GUYS WANT LEMONADE TOO, RIGHT? LET'S GET LEMONADE!" Sonic said loudly silencing anything Amy could politely retort with.
At this point, Tails fell out of his chair in laughter. It was so funny how Cream could silence Sonic like that. Sonic always thought his ways of ending the conversation were sly and witty. Sonic was a lot of things, but sly? NO.
"What's so funny?" Asked an almost monotone voice behind Tails.
Tails screamed and looked around only to find……What was his name? Cagoshi? Yeah, he thought that was right.
"Jeez, cut that out. Uh, it was Cag-oshi, right?"
Kakashi dropped any calm and cool personality. "It's Kakashi! KA-KA-SHI! Get It right!"
"Whoa! Sorry. I'm not good with names." He responded. This guy probably had a history of people "accidentally" getting his name wrong.
"Hey Tails! Are you talking to yourself again? I thought we got rid of that habit in therapy!" Called Amy. She must not be in the living room. She hasn't seen those people yet.
"Whoa! Tails, get your two-tailed butt over here, and explain to me who these people are and what they're doing here!"
'Crap. They found out. Well, it would be hard to hide five people from even Sonic. May as well see what he has to say.' Tails thought as he sighed.
Tails walked past Kakashi, went down the hall, took a left and saw that the shinobi were already getting up.
"Welllllll…." Tails started. He saw Sonic, arms crossed and tapping his foot. He also saw Amy and Cream's questioning expressions. "I met them in the forest. They're new around here and they need a place to stay."
"Awww. Isn't that nice? Giving strangers a place to stay." Amy said.
'Tails is always so nice!' Cream thought.
Sonic sighed. "Look buddy, you can't just let strangers into your house. You know how some people act around your…um….. condition" He said.
As soon as Tails herd that, he became sad. His ears drooped and his tails laid flat on the floor. His eyebrows arched forward as he looked down at the floor. He remembered all the things people and anthros alike did to him before he met Sonic and saved Station Square.
'woops' Sonic thought. He didn't want to make him sad.
"What condition?" Naruto said truthfully. "I don't see anything wrong with him. At least he's not blue!" He finished. He didn't like blue much. He did recognize that look, though. It was the look he used when anyone whispered about him or talked behind his back when they didn't even know him.
FLASHBACK (a conversation Naruto over heard while walking through the village one day)
"Hey. You see him? That kid is really Kyuubi!"
"Really? Why does the third let him stay in the village?"
"No one knows. Some say he's going soft; too soft. But I think he's testing us."
"Testing us?"
"Yeah. You know. To see if we aren't helpless if we're attacked."
"Well then, lets show him we aren't weak! HEY KID!"
END FLASH BACK (I think you can fill in the blanks)
"What's wrong with blue?" Sonic asked angrily. How dare this guy insult his favorite color?
"Ehhh, nothing!" He said, realizing his mistake. He put his hand behind his neck and tried to laugh this off.
Sonic took the laughing directed at him. "Are you making fun of me?" He said, growling.
"Sonic. Stop it. You're scaring him!" Amy said, trying to disarm him.
"Yeah. So he doesn't like blue. Big deal" Sakura added.
That's when the two caught everyone's attention. Six pairs of confused eyes went from Sakura to Amy and back to Sakura. All eyes, except Tails', went to Tails, hoping for an explanation.
Tails simply shrugged and put on a confused expression. They were like freaking twins, down to the eye color! (And you thought Naruto and Tails were similar!)
"Anyway, we are carrying enough ryo for about a week at a hotel. It is not necessary to stay here." Kakashi said, breaking the confusion endorsed silence.
"Ryo? Is that currency? I am familiar with every form of currency in every part of the world. I've never herd of ryo." Said Tails, confused yet again. It was just one mystery after another with these guys.
Kakashi mentally kicked himself. Of course they never herd of ryo. How many times must he remind himself that this was a different world?
"Well then, it's settled. You guys'll stay here!" Amy said.
"WHA?! I never agreed to that! This is my house too and there is no way I'm keep'in five weirdos in my house!" Sonic yelled. Today was not a good day for him. Besides running into Amy, he had to rescue a bunch of kids from a burning orphanage in Guatemala. Needless to say, he looked like Shadow from all the black powder that got on him. He had to run across the Atlantic twice to get it all off. That's what took him so long, by the way.
"Don't worry. Mr. Sonic will change his mind once you know him better," Cream said to Hinata, who hadn't said a word.
"A…ano… I'm glad. He sounds a lot like Naruto-kun," She replied.
"You know, you're right! I bet they'll get along great!" Amy said.
"NOT WITH THIS FREAK!" Yelled both Naruto and Sonic.
Everyone started to laugh now, while Naruto and Sonic continued arguing.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! QUICK TIME SKIP OF LIKE AN HOUR!!!!!
Naruto and Sonic had gotten tired of fighting and ended up sitting on the couch, breathing hard.
"You know," Naruto said as a thought acquired to him. "We never did get that lemonade"
"Yeah lemonade does sound good right now," Said Sonic. "TAILS!" Yelled Sonic.
"What?" asked Tails as he walked in with a broom. His punishment for bringing strange people into the house was to clean everything from the trashcans to the semi-ballistic missiles.
"Could you get us some lemonade?" asked Sonic
"What? I'm already cleaning! Get off your face and get some yourself!" Replayed Tails
"Get off my face? How do I get on my face?" Sonic offered as a rebuttal.
"Just get your own lemonade!" Tails said.
"Its you who brought these people in the first place, and now, they're all thirsty….."
"……..So?"
"So, go get them some lemonade!"
"ARG!!!!" Tails yelled about to attack but was held back by Sonic.
"Relax. I'll make the porcupine some-" "HEDGEHOG!" "-Whatever some lemonade"
"………"
"……."
"How do you make lemonade?"
At this point Tails just dropped the broom and walked hunched over into the kitchen to make some lemonade.
"Jeez. All this over lemonade." Said Naruto as he walked back down the hallway to tell everybody about the lemonade.
TIME SKIP OF ANOTHER COUPLE MINUITS!!!!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEIIIEEEEEE!!!!
Tails came out with a tray of lemonade in a pitcher and 9 glasses………that's six…….Yeah, nine. He put them on the dining room table and started to pour glasses of lemonade. Each person took a glass of lemonade, sat down, and sipped happily.
Naruto chocked on his lemonade for a second and signaled to Sakura, who he was sitting with, and pointed at Kakashi. Although his masks were off, his face was buried in his book.
"You know," Said Amy between sips "We really –sip- don't know –sip- much abo –sip- ut each other. Maybe –sip- we should –sip- plan to -sip- do something –sip- together when this lemonade stops tasting so good"
"……….."
"……….."
"Oh…Right…… –sip-"
"Well, what did you –sip- have in mind?" Cream asked.
"Well –sip- I was thinking camping –sip-"
"That sounds pretty –sip- good –sip-"
"Then it's settled –sip- well pack for camping –sip- tomorrow –sip-" said Sonic.
"Sounds good –sip-" Said Tails "But I'm not ending up –sip- packing –long sip- for Sonic like last time –sip- I couldn't get the stink off my glove when I touched his underwear"
"Wait. Sonic wears underwear? Or any cloths for that matter?" Asked Amy
"Well, yeah. Especially in the wilderness. You need to protect your self from poison plants and stuff" Tails answered.
"Can we stop talking about my underwear and –sip- get back to –sip- sipping –sip- our lemonade?"
-group sip-
"Tails sure knows how to make some lemonade" Cream said, happily sipping away.
"I've still got some more if anyone wants a refill"
Everyone raises their glasses and askes.
Naruto leans over and whispers "I like hearing these guys talk. They're like one big family!" (Don't ask me how you can put a "!" when he's whispering)
Into Hinata's ear. She promptly fainted by way of Naruto's head being so close.
Ok. Before you totally kill me for the update time, let me just say, don't blame me. It was absolutely NOT my fault. If you're going to blame anyone, BLAME WINDOS/ BILL GATES. They shut down my computer and only let me get on the interne about half way through the story. I was able to hack my way into this, and stay up to quickly finish, but it didn't go exactly as I planned it because I forgot my planning of this chapter, like the lemonade thing, totally improvised. The point is, I'm not going to take this long for all my stories.
Tootals,
Jordan
