Tails put down his acetylene torch and rubbed his eyes. He'd been working for hours on a way to reopen the portal between Mobius and Earth.
Cosmo: I think you've done enough work for awhile.
Cosmo walked in bringing in a tray of lemonade and cookies.
Cosmo: You have to take care of yourself, honey.
Tails beamed at his girlfriend. He and Cosmo had suffered through more in the two years they'd known each other than most people had in a lifetime.
Tails: I don't need to, I have an angel to look after me.
Cosmo: I'm not an angel, well not anymore anyway.
Neither said anymore on the subject. That horrible time that Cosmo had been dead had nearly destroyed Tails.
Cosmo cleared her throat.
Cosmo: So, um…what are you working on now, Fuzzy Wuzzy?
Tails: Please don't call me that in front of other people.
Tails was blushing. He liked the pet name she'd come up with for him, but knew that Sonic and Knuckles and Amy would all kid him mercilessly about it.
Tails: I'm working on a way to reconnect with Earth. It would be nice to hear from Chris and his friends again.
Cosmo: I don't understand why it's so complicated, If you can build a space ship and super transform into Turbo Tails, why can't you get a time machine working?"
Tails: Um…because flying and being energized by chaos emeralds is easier than manipulating the space/time continuum. Anyway, I think I'm just about finished. Now, let's talk about us for awhile, my little Flower Princess.
Cosmo: Why talk, Fuzzy Wuzzy.
Kissing him right on the lips. He wrapped his arms around her and returned the kiss. The world seemed brighter, the air fresher. They could almost hear birds singing.
They fed each other cookies and drank lemonade from the same cup. It was very sour, because Cosmo liked her lemonade that way. It made Tails pucker, which just encouraged Cosmo to kiss him again.
All too soon, Tails sighed.
Tails: I really should be getting back to work now.
Cosmo: So soon?
A pouting Cosmo asked.
Tails: I think I'll be finished today.
Cosmo: Good.
Said Cosmo, taking the tray back to the kitchen.
Cosmo: And I don't want you starting another project tonight!
Tails: Don't worry I won't, I was thinking we might go to Twinkle Park tomorrow. Why don't you see if Sonic and Amy and Cream can come?
Cosmo: That's wonderful! I haven't been there yet! Cream promised to take me on the Little Planet Ride!
Tails: Uh…yeah, that's a…well, Cream loves that ride!
Cosmo: Don't you like it, Fuzzy Wuzzy?
Tails: Well…a lot more than Shadow would.
Tails: Great girl, don't know what I did to deserve her, but being with her should get me out of a few years of purgatory.
He sighed, and then returned to his work.
Cosmo washed the dishes, and then swept out the kitchen. Then she went out into her garden. She came back inside an hour later, soaking wet. She had watered the lawn, all of her flowers, the vegetable garden, then, just for the fun of it, herself!
Cosmo: Note to self: wear swimsuit the next time I do that!
Muttered Cosmo as she went to her room to change. She hummed a happy tune. It was spring, the best time for being a plant, and she was happy to be alive and with the love of her life.
After dressing, Cosmo remembered to call her friends
Cream: Hello! This is Cream speaking!"
Cosmo: Cream! Hi! Would you like to come with Tails and me tomorrow to Twinkle Park?
Cream: Oh boy! We'd love to, wouldn't we, Cheese?
Cheese: Chao chao!
Cream: That means yes!
Cosmo: Could you call Amy? I'm afraid she might still be angry at me because of what happened on the tennis court.
Cream: Sure! I'll call you back later, Cosmo! Bye-bye!"
Cosmo: Bye-bye, Cream!
Cosmo hung up the phone, and then decided to see how Tails was doing.
He was still working on his latest invention, and talking to himself as he worked.
Tails: This should do it! Yeah! I think I've finally got it! Just a few more last minute adjustments, and…
"What does this switch do, honey?
Cosmo's hand resting on his invention.
Tails: No!
Cried tails, as Cosmo's hand accidentally bumped the switch.
The machine started to glow with emerald energy.
Cosmo: Tails! What have I done this time?
Tails: I was still adjusting it!
Cried tails grabbing her and spinning his tails to get them away from the machine.
Tails: It's supposed to chaos control…
There was a blinding flash and a deafening blast. When it cleared, they could both see that they were…elsewhere.
Cosmo: Tails? Is this where Chris lives?
Tails: No!
Tails looks around.
Tails: This looks like a desert of some sort.
Suddenly they were hit with a wave of nausea.
Cosmo: Tails what's happening!!!!
Tails: I don't know, Cosmo I…
Tails didn't finish his sentence as he fell to the ground.
Cosmo: Tails!!!
Cosmo took one step forward and fell to the ground unconscious.
The last thing Tails saw was Cosmo falling to the ground before he blacked out.
The flash nor the blast had not been unnoticed…
