Tails woke up to see the morning sun sink through the closed blinds of his bedroom window. He stood up, took a big yawn, and then started to scratch his belly. He slid to the edge of his bed. He looked at the clock, reading 7:49 5/19/2009. He still couldn't believe it had been 2 years since Eggman's last attack, on the other hand, Eggman renounced his evil ways.
"Last attack was when I was 13," Tails said to himself. Tails was maturing fast, and was learning to fight hand at hand. His two tails ended up becoming fluffier as the years went by. The changes weren't really noticeable, though. His small bangs had become longer at the same time. "Well, at least I still can spend time with my friends more." Tails and Cream had something for each other, Cream was maturing fast too. Amy no longer chased after Sonic…
Knuckles and Rouge were different stories. Knuckles had the master emerald kept in the house he shared with Rouge. For all they know, Rouge and Knuckles could be together in a romance. But, everyone had their own things to worry about.
As Tails walked out to his kitchen, he went through the living room, where the three of his emeralds sat on top of the small table. They started to glow as he passed them, nothing too special. He walked up to his sink and looked out his window. Shadow ended up walking up to the window.
"Hey, kid," Shadow said. He had a smile as he said it, not something you would normally see from a hedgehog like him. A black hedgehog, with red stripes along his quills actually smiling with a meaning.
"Hey shad-," Tails replied. Shadow seemed to be doing pretty good with himself. He's been trying to catch up on how the whole gang lived. He's still pretty much confused, though he adapts well to many things.
"So, we having that party over at Sonic's place or what?"
"Of course, just it's not till later." Tails stretched out his arms by pulling himself as he held onto the sink edge.
"Well, I'm off. I'll see ya later."
"Bye." Shadow pulled out a emerald replica Tails had made for him. It was able to allow him to use his Chaos Control, nothing more. Nothing but a colorless gem. Tails opened a cabinet a pulled out a frying pan and placed it on the flat surface stove. The doorbell rang, Tails' ears perked a bit to the sides, he wondered who was there.
He walked over to the door in the living room, and opened it slowly. He quickly gained all of his senses when he saw the little rabbit, Cream standing there. She was wearing an orange skirt with a sleeveless red shirt.
"You… look beautiful today." Tails managed to say. Cream blushed from his comment.
"Thank you, Tails," She said back at the frozen kitsune. "Aren't you going to invite me in or keep staring at me?" Tails shook his head a bit, and brought himself back to reality.
"Oh--Come in." Tails said with hand gestures. "I'm making some breakfast, want some?"
"That would be very nice, thank you!" Tails walked back to the kitchen as Cream followed.
Sonic walked down the sidewalk with Amy. They talked about old times had. Sonic and Amy's quills had grown a bit longer over the years, Mainly Sonic's. Amy stretched down to her small shoulders, but still had that curve like she always had.
"A lot of things have changed, Sonic," Amy repeated a few times. "Memories last forever." Amy still had her thing for Sonic, but she felt that she should stop chasing him. She noticed Sonic was looking at her, mainly her eyes. "Sonic?" Sonic somewhat jumped.
"Yeah Amy?" He replied.
"I know you were looking at me." Amy giggled but Sonic blushed and looked at Amy's clothes. Not something she would normally wear, blue sweat pants and a blue sweat shirt.
"I gotta go, gonna go and getmy place ready."
"Alright, bye Sonikku!" Sonic raced off. Amy walked down through the grassy park in their town. It looked much more beautiful than it did a few years back. She could remember a quiet night in the park with Sonic and the others after a night party. The sun was just about down, Amy had a great time.
Flash Back
"Sonic, I had a lot of fun," Amy said.
"I did too." Sonic said back. Sonic grabbed one of Amy's hands softly. "Lets not forget this night." Sonic kissed Amy on the cheek, giving Amy a surprise. A moment she will never forget…
Amy smiled to herself while she thought of that wonderful time. She noticed Rouge and Knuckles doing a fight practice near some trees that were part of the small forest in the park.
"Hi you guys!" Amy yelled.
"Hey—Amy." They both managed to say while taking hits. Amy always had a thought of those two being together. To her, everything about it seemed obvious. The saying "You look cute when you're mad" comes to mind. Amy walked up to a small patch of flowers near the forest part of the park, a few feet away from where Rouge and Knuckles were sparring.
"Cream will love these!" Amy said. Amy began to pick flowers from the patch.
They continued to spar at each other, a red echidna and a bat. Knuckles was not wearing his gloves or shoes. Even though his glove has no fingers, he indeed has fingers, including the spikes on top of his hands. There Knuckles stood on his toes, and he took a swing at Rouge. Rouge moved to the side, and tried her own punch.
Knuckles grabbed her fist, he got down, holding himself up on one hand, and then pushed his two feet into Rouge's stomach and took a big jolt back. She sat up on the ground, breathing hard and seeing Knuckles in the same way. Keeping himself on his toes, with his fists held out loosely, waiting for Rouge.
"Nice move there, hon'," Rouge said getting herself up. Knuckles went flat on his feet, he knew they were done.
"Thanks" was all Knuckles wanted to say.
"Great exercise, ya know?" Rouge winked at Knuckles. Kunckles did a quick blush, and tried to cover it up. Knuckles grabbed a water bottle and took a drink. "We better clean up."
"Yeah, the get together." Knuckles pretty much answered fast after Rouge's comment. Knuckles looked at Rouge's black sleeveless sweat shirt and her black sweat shorts. Knuckles got carried away, and Rouge got confused.
"Knucklehead" Knuckles quickly regained his senses. "Well, we should go." Rouge started walking with Knuckles following. They passed by Amy picking daffodils from a flower patch.
Time passed, and everyone was getting ready for the 'shin-dig'. Sonic was actually doing something productive for once, it was hard to believe that just a couple of years can change life styles.
Sonic placed a bowl of chips on the table in his own living room, then a doorbell rang. He walked to the door, opened it quickly to see a peach kitsune and a peach rabbit.
"Hey Tails, hey cream," Sonic said. Sonic let them both in, and they started to hear the music that was being played.
"Jazz music?" Cream asked.
"Of course." Sonic's music style was never known, so Tails and Cream now know. Maybe he likes rock too?
"Can you believe it's been a few years since the last attack?" Tails asked.
"We just can't go all soft though," Sonic stated. Sonic grabbed three sodas, and handed one to Cream and Tails. They immediately started to drink out of the bottles. "Just gotta remember, Eggman stopped his evil ways, but at the same time we can only trust him half the time. It will take just a bit longer for us to fully trust him."
"Yeah, oh well." Tails took another drink, while Cream watched. She more than watched, she was staring at Tails. Sonic noticed this and stared at Tails too. Tails was now getting confused from the two minute silence. "What?" Tails looked to Cream, and she quickly turned with a blush. He looked at sonic, and he smiled, closed his eyes, and walked to the door. "Cream?"
"Yeah?" She replied.
"I…uh."
"What?" Sonic opened the door to see Amy holding daffodils. Amy was happy to see Sonic, not even bothered by the fact she didn't even ring the door bell and Sonic opened the door.
"Hey Sonic!" Amy yelled while jumping on him.
"Hi Amy," Sonic replied surprised. He saw the 'hi' coming, but not the jump on him. Amy got off Sonic and walked to Tails and Cream.
"Hey you two."
"Hey Amy," They both said.
"You two look cute together." Amy whispered to Cream.
"Awww—Thanks Amy," Cream said.
"Oh! Here are some flowers for you!" Amy handed Cream the flowers to her.
"Thank you so much!" Cream placed the flowers on the same table as the chip bowl. "Have you guys ever thought of other people like us in the world?"
"Other than Shadow?" Sonic commented.
"Yeah, but really."
"What about a blue shadow?"
"What if I was blue?" Tails said with a laugh.
"I think that would be neat," Cream said.
"A blue version of me, 'eh?" Shadow said. Wait, where did he come from?
"What the hell?" Sonic yelled out.
"Watch your mouth." Cream said.
"Hey, faker," Shadow said. He walked up to Sonic…
"You need to stop calling me that," Sonic said with a chuckle. Shadow's serious mood went to a "happy-to-be-here" mood. Shadow locked their hands together by the thumb, and then hit each other's bodied together.
"Wow, Shadow did learn from these past years," Tails said. Amy walked to the 'radio of jazz', and switched the music. "Totem?" Tails was listening to the new song that started to play. "I love this song." Tails began to get carried away, his eyes closed, and he lost all of his senses. The beat, the sound, was all too good to him. Tails was now in his own little world.
"Tails really likes this song," Amy said. "I picked a good song, then." The song continued, everyone continued to talk as well. "Where's Knuckles and Rouge?" A doorbell rang.
"You're good luck," Sonic said walking to the door. Of course, he opened the door and they were at the door. Knuckles with no gloves, but she has his shoes at least. Rouge wore regular clothes, black shirt with sleeves and black pants. No high heels, regular shoes, holy cow. "Hey, come in!" Sonic let them in and Knuckles walked to Tails put his arm around him and pat him on the stomach.
At this point, Tails was now in reality. Tails looked at Knuckles' smile.
"Hey bud, you ok?" Knuckles said.
"Uh, yeah I'm fine," Tails said confused. Knuckles let go of Tails and went ahead and grabbed some chips, and just started to eat. "I'll be right back." Tails walked to the hallway across the room. He stepped into the bathroom and just looked into the mirror. "Why do these dreams keep coming to me?" Tails put his hands on the counter, stared down and then back at the mirror. 'I can't contact that… girl. That blue fox girl. My counterpart.' Tails started to shed a small tear, but why?
Tails placed his hands together and then separated them. A green emerald appeared. He held his emerald, and went ahead and concentrated himself.
"Give me my thoughts," Tails said to himself. He began to see the blue kitsune. A smiling, happy blue kitsune girl. Several different views of this girl came to him. Tails then stopped with a break of energy. He slammed his hands on to the counter, still holding the green emerald in his one hand. Cream opened the door…
"Tails, are you ok?" Cream asked. She noticed his state, and his left hand holding a glowing green emerald. "Why, Tails?"
"Cream, there is indeed a counterpart of myself." Tails said looking at himself in the mirror. He started to get tense, Cream noticed this. "My dreams, they are true."
"You have psionic power, don't you?" Tails turned to Cream.
"A little, but how—"
"I can see into people." Tails calmed down and walked up to Cream. Cream immediately hugged him, and Tails gave one back. "I think it's true. Please, just enjoy the rest of the day with your friends."
"Sorry. I'm ok now." Tails and Cream walked back out. Tails immediately vanished the emerald.
"Ok, Tails, Knuckles and I have a bet going, I think you know this song that's on," Sonic said. Tails listened to the song. 'Now you're trembling on a rocky ledge…'
"The Pass by Rush," Tails said.
"HA! Told ya! Hand it over." Sonic was given ten dollars from Knuckles.
"Sucks, huh?" Rouge asked.
"Tails is good at these," Amy said.
"I listen to them." Tails said with a smile.
