It's the next day of school. Sonic and Amy have become very close friends. However, Amy couldn't let Sonic leave her. Sonic still didn't know when he was suppose to leave. While, the two friends were at Amy's locker, Tails walked over to them.

"Hey guys!" Tails said.

"Hey, Tails!" Sonic said giving Tails a high five.

"You two have become great friends." Amy said stuffing books into her locker.

Once her books were in place she shut her locker. She turned around to the two boys. Her eyes landed on Tails' two tails. She was a little freaked out and Tails saw this by the way she was starred at his tails.

"W-Why do you have two tails?" Amy asked pushed up to her locker. "That's not normal."

"Please." Tails said rolling his eyes. "Everyone has something that provides them light... Like my tails."

Tails flew a little in the air. Sonic clapped his hands and Amy only nodded. Tails loved his two tails so much. He didn't care what anyone else thought of them.

With a few classes out of the way, it was lunch time. Amy was now sitting with Sonic and the rest of his friends. However, Cream wasn't sitting with them. Tikal wasn't with them, nor was Jasmine and Blaze.

"I just saw Cream outside..." Shadow said walking over to the group of friends.

"What? Why?" Tails asked standing up.

Shadow shrugged and sat down. Tails left the lunch room and went outside. Cream was in the front of the school, crying. She was patted her ears. Tails didn't go over to her right away. Tails saw that Cream was sitting under a tree. Tails flew up and sat on a branch, underneath Cream. She was eating lunch outside alone.

"I thought my ears were a gift... But they're not!" Cream said to herself.

Cream talked to herself again. Tails heard things he wish he hadn't heard. Cream wished her ears didn't define who she was. She wished her had normal ears like everyone else. If only she could get rid of her ears for good. As people walk in and out of the school, they called Cream names. That made Cream cry even more. Cream didn't need any of this in her life.

"She's need more light in her life." Tails whispered to himself.

Tails looked down at Cream. He jumped down from the tree and Cream gasped. She wasn't expecting Tails to jumped right out in front of her. Cream whipped her tears away as Tails sat in front of her.

"Cream, can I ask you something?" Tails asked.

"S-Sure."

"How long have people been bullying you?"

"Ever since Freshman year... Why?"

"Don't you think it's time to stop worrying about what other people think of you?"

"They won't stop though."

"Because they know that they're getting to you. You can't let them walk all over you. You have a gift, you can use them to protect yourself."

Cream only looked at Tails. He did have a point. It's been four years. Her whole high school years have been nothing but pain for her. She never pictured her life to turn out like this.

"I tell them to stop, but they won't listen." Cream said.

"Just ignore them then... Watch this."

Tails got up and flew over to the front doors. He stuck out his two tails and flew in the air. He was blocking the door. He pulled out his phone and started to play a game. He made sure he was in the way of other students. Cream thought this was a bad idea, but she only watched Tails.

"Move it, two tailed!" Yelled a student.

Tails didn't move or say anything. The student rolled their eyes and walked around Tails. Everyone started to call Tails names, but they notice he didn't look up from his phone. But really, Tails was only starring at a black screen on his phone. Tails looked around and his feet touched the ground again. He walked back over to Cream and smiled at her.

"See." Tails said.

"I was confident with my ears back in the past."

"Now's the time to gain that confident back."

Tails took Cream's hand and they went back inside the school. Just to their luck, it was passing period. Tails and Cream started to walk the halls. Everyone starred at Tails and Cream. No one has two tails or long ears. But Tails kept walking, as if nothing was wrong with him. Cream tried to go the same thing. She was doing a pretty good job.

"Look! It's big ears!" Yelled a boy pointing to Cream.

"Thank you! They are big!" Cream said flipping her ears as if they were her hair.

The boy looked confused. Tails looked back at the boy and flipped him off. Most people called out to Cream, but she never answered. She was gaining her confidents again. Tails walked Cream to her class. They talked outside the class before Cream went in.

"You did great! Now do the same thing in your class." Tails said.

"But this is gym class.. We always do jump rope for a our warm up and I always trip on them."

"Play jump rope with them... That's what I do."

Tails winked at Cream and left. Cream walked into the locker room and changed into her P.E. outfit. She didn't have any friends in that class because of her ears. She walked inside the gym where there were other girls. This gym class only had girls in it. Which was nice, but at the same time it wasn't.

"Alright ladies!" Said the P.E. teacher. "Start you warm up by jumping rope."

Everyone grabbed a rope and started to jump. Cream didn't get one. She used her ears as jump rope. Everyone looked at Cream. They laughed and pointed at her. But Cream thought about what Tails told her.

"Can I jump with you?" Asked a girl.

Cream stopped and looked up. She smiled at the person. It was Amy.

"Sure!" Cream said.

Amy stood next to Cream and they both started to jump rope together. The P.E. teacher checked their watch. It was a nice day out too. The whole P.E class went outside and started to walk the track. Amy stood with Cream. Once everyone was outside, they started to walk the track. Amy and Cream walked together.

"I'm sorry about you and Scourge." Cream said.

"Don't be. He was jerk, I can't believe I even dated him!... What about you and Tails?"

"T-Tails? We're just friends."

"You two would make a cute couple. You both have something special."

"Thanks."

Amy and Cream started to talk about different things. They talked about people they hated. They talked about their favorite teachers and classes. They talked about what colleges they would be going too. Just by luck, they would be going to the same college.

"We should totally room together!" Amy said.

"R-Really? You don't mind my ears?"

"Do you mind a snorer?" Amy joked.

They two girls laughed. They talked on and on. Watching from a distance was Sonic and Tails. They skipped their class and watched the two girls laugh and talk with each other.

"I knew they would become great friends." Sonic said crossing his arms.

"Me too. This was really fun! Being in the normal world that is... I wish we could all just be together."

"Yea... But that can never happen. They won't understand elements." Sonic said walking away.

Tails thought for a moment. Tails didn't know what Sonic's parents had gone though, but he knows that time has changed and things have to move on. Tails ran over to Sonic and stopped him.

"I'm late for class." Sonic said.

"You ditched with me!"

"Right... But we can't let the girls see us."

"I know, but it's about what you said, that people won't understand elements."

"Yea, they'll never-" Sonic began.

"It's a different time zone now. You can't stay in the past. Remember, there's always light at the end of a tunnel." Tails said.

Sonic grinned at his friends. He patted his head and they both went inside. Back with Amy and Cream. They only had about ten minutes left. They saw some other girls running to burn more calories.

"Wanna run the track just one time?" Amy asked.

"I have to run slow... My ears."

"That's fine!"

Amy and Cream started to jog. They past the teacher. The teacher was proud of both of them. But, some girls in the class past Amy and Cream. They turned around and ran backwards, facing Amy and Cream.

"Can't you run!? You guys are two slow!" Yelled a girl.

Amy and Cream both looked at each other. Amy winked at Cream. Cream started to flap her ears. Cream pasted the girl and Amy ran faster. The girl stopped running and starred at Cream. While the girl wasn't looking, Amy bumped into the girl and knocked her down on the field. Everyone started to laugh and point at the girl.

"What goes around comes back around." Amy said to the girl.

After that, the P.E class went back inside to change and go to their next class. Soon, the school day was over. Amy and Cream were outside waiting for Sonic and Tails. Soon, the two boys came out of the school, laughing.

"Ready to go shopping?" Amy asked Sonic.

"Yep! You guys wanna come with us?" Sonic asked Tails and Cream.

"We're going to study together." Tails said.

"Alright then."

Sonic and Amy left and went to the mall. Tails and Cream walked to Cream's house. Cream's parents were happy that Tails came into her life. He had helped her through so much. Cream seemed happier in life.

"Mom! Guess what I did in P.E!" Cream said opening the front door.

"I don't know."

"I made a new friend!"

Tails shut the front door as Cream and her mother hugged each other.

"Hello, Tails!"

"Hi!" Tails said waving his hand.

"We're gonna go study." Cream said pulling Tails' arm upstairs.

Tails and Cream went upstairs and into Cream's room. Tails taught Cream new things. They laughed and talked. They took breaks once in a while.

"I better get going." Tails said looking at his watch.

Tails and Cream walked downstairs. Cream opened the front door. Her mother watched the two friends. Tails saw Cream's mother looking at them.

"Um, Cream... Can I talk to you outside?" Tails asked shy.

"Can I, mother?" Cream asked turning around.

Her mother smiled and nodded. The friends went outside. Cream shut the front door.

"I don't know how to say this, but... I'm leaving soon." Tails said.

"Will I ever see you again?" Cream asked almost having tears in her eyes.

"Of coarse! We're destine to have each other in our lives!"

"Amy told me that Sonic is leaving too..."

"Since I'll be leaving soon, make a new friend for me. A girl friend. I bet Tikal would be nice."

"She's seem like she needs a social life."

"There you go! I'll see you later."

Tails left and Cream went back inside. Cream told her mother everything Tails just said to her. She didn't want to lose one of her closest friends! From the moment Tails met Cream, she wasn't as happy as she was now. People stopped bullying her. She was much more confident with her ears. Now that she could fly with her ears, she didn't need a car anymore. It was faster to go to school. Light was powerful, helpful, and most of all... Satisfying
