Sonic and the Secret of Tails Chapter 2. The Party Tails arrived at Cream's house in record time, pulling up to her house at 6:50, and then walking up to the door with a mixed bouquet of orange blossoms, roses, lilies, and freesia. Tails knocked on the door, waited for just a moment, then Vanilla, Cream's mother, answered. "Hello Tails," she said "you're early, what's the rush?" "If I may intrude upon your hospitality for just a moment Miss Vanilla, may I come in and see your lovely daughter before heading out with her in my just completed custom car." Tails said smoothly. "Alright Tails, you may come in for a moment." Vanilla said. "Thank you Miss Vanilla." Tails said, and then quickly kissed her hand. Vanilla said to him, blushing, "Oh Tails, aren't you such a gentleman. Cream, Tails is here." "WHAT! He's here already? I thought he would be here later. Oh forget it! Tails, I'm in the living room." She said, surprised. "Hello Cream…whoa!" She was wearing the shining red silk dress that he bought for her 16th birthday earlier that year. All her distinctive curves of her body were accentuated perfectly, from the tops of the shoulder straps down to just above her knees. He had it specially designed so it would have a tail hole that he knew would work perfectly with her frame. "You look ravishing Cream. Compared to you I might as well be wearing rags." "Thanks Tails, you look incredible." She blushed. "Where did you get that suit?" She inquired. "This?" he thought for a second, and then said, "Oh yeah, I got this from a small Italian tailor, cost a good amount of money, but the finished product is nice isn't it?" "Well, it does fit you very nicely Tails." She said with an unbelievable softness in her voice. The sheer sound of her voice made him feel lightheaded. "Um, Miss Vanilla? We've got to get going now." "Okay kids, have fun." she said. "Have her back by midnight or earlier okay Tails?" She had the look of a mother who was protective of her child and had known that her child was growing up and was near the time when they leave. "Don't worry Miss Vanilla, I will have her back before you know it OK?" he said to her very calmly. "Okay Tails, you two have a good time." "Thanks. Goodbye." Tails took Cream by the arm and walked her out to the car. "Whoa, nice ride." She said surprised to see the custom car. "How fast can it go?" "772 mph, not counting the speed boost if I activate the nitro. Is that fast enough for you Cream?" he said in a sly voice. "Oh yeah, that is definitely fast enough." He opened the scissor door for her, then hopped in, put the key in, and tore out. 5 minutes later they entered the driveway to the Special Forces Gala at the Disney Hall. "By the way, I really like the flowers Tails." She drew a long breath, enjoying the scent of the combined flowers. Tails handed the valet the keys saying to him, "One scratch and you may very well be paying for it with your life." Then he paid the valet his fee plus a generous tip. When they entered the hall, Tails went up to the person at the desk and said to her, "We have invitations from GUN agents Shadow the Hedgehog, Rouge the Bat and Omega-123, check under Prowler and Malon." She checked in the book then said, "Oh, Mr. Prowler and Ms. Malon, you two are on the VIP list, I'm sorry sir, mam." She led them to the main hall then said to them, "Have a good time sir, mam." Then she left them to tend to other guests. The hall was full of celebrities and near-celebrities, has-beens, and never-wases. People flocked around Miles Prowler, multi-billionaire mechanic, inventor, investor, and weapons mogul. But just then, "Heeeeyyyy little *hic* buuuuuddy." Sonic approached them totally drunk out of his mind. "Sooooooooo, what's up bitch?" He says to Cream looking at her with that look that he gives Tails when he is as drunk as he is now. Tails says to him, "What the hell did you call Cream punk?" "I wasn't talkin' to her, I was talking to you, BITCH!" He tries to grab Tails, but Tails grabs his wrist and twists his arm around behind his back in a very painful position. "Who the hell you calling bitch huh!" Tails said, enraged at Sonic's gall trying to grab him. Sonic spin-dashes him off his back and tries to light-dash him, but Tails dodges it and then pulls out his specially designed GunBlade from his tails and tells Sonic, "Any closer and you're going down." "You don't have the guts to do it!" He said with a noticeable slur. Tails knew that shooting at Sonic with rounds was futile due to his speed, but he could use Chaos Energy for a faster and more precise attack. So, with power embedded in his voice, he said, "CHAOS SLASH!" He slashed the GunBlade with lightning-fast speed and precision, releasing the energy at just the right moment, and the blast became a crescent and his Sonic square in the chest, ripping apart his suit, and sending him flying backwards into the wall. "SONIC, I QUIT!" Tails yelled at him, "I AM SICK AND TIRED OF BEING TREATED LIKE SCUM! A LOWLY SLAVE! I AM TIRED OF BEING INSULTED, MY DEEDS GOING UNNOTICED! I HAVE SAVED YOUR LIFE COUNTLESS TIMES AND THIS IS THE THANKS I GET? SO GOODBYE SONIC! I QUIT!" Then he got as far as the door when Cream grabbed his arm and said to him, "Don't go Tails, I need you." She gave him a look of pure need that tugged on the very sinews of his desire, his need and her need intertwined. Then she did something very unexpected, she grabbed his head and kissed him full on the lips. Tails heart rate went through the fricking roof, and then melted into the kiss, going from kissee to kisser. After about 5 seconds, they broke apart, looking longingly into each other's eyes. Then Tails said, very much flustered, "Uh Cream, I gotta go." Then he walked off with her, arms locked as they got the car. 5 minutes later, they arrived at Cream's house. "So, uh, bye Tails." She said after they reached the house. Then after she went inside, he knew what he had to do; he activated the car's computer and said, "Call Light." He looked at the clock, 11:30 it said. "*groan* Who is it?" he asked groggily. "It's Tails. Get the machine ready. I'm coming over." Then he hung up and sped on.
