I do not own Sonic the Hedgehog or anything related. SEGA does no matter what. Also, before the first chapter start I wish to say "MERRY CHRISTMAS, from me to you."

Chapter One

At The Last Base Of Tails

"MAYDAY, MAYDAY. 3.9 COMING THROUGH!" Sonic the Hedgehog, blue hedgehog and hero of Mobius, shot around the corner screaming.

The 3.9 was right behind him. Miles "Tails" Prower, a golden furred fox, pressed a few more buttons on a computer screen and had successfully caused the process of creating the robots to speed up to the point the machines couldn't keep up. Soon the generators would overwork and cause an explosion when the robots tried to turn on.

Sonic knew that any Mega Destroyers weakness was the head, but Tail's, before he turned good, had made an upgrade to protect the head by force field. He came up to the fox "Hi, Tails. I know this is a bad time to tell you that I hate your robots. I can't really hurt them."

"Just think and you'll get it." Tails shrugged.

"That helps a lot. Whew! I thought I had to think about THAT for a while." A blast almost hit the hedgehog causing him to shriek a little and hop away.

Tails only stood there and looked up at the massive robot only walking after Sonic. The blue blur kept running around it and finally yelled "SHOWS OVER! HELP ME!"

The fox flew over quickly and in a blur of his own, swooped Sonic away from another blast. Tails looked down to see Sonic smiling guiltily up at him "Thanks?"

"Was that a questionable "Thank you"?"

"Yes, it was. How do you beat it?"

"Well, I figured this out after I made it. The laser eye has to have no shield in front of it otherwise the blast will hurt it instead. Also hitting the eye would cause the energy in the head to over react causing the whole head to blow."

"You could have mentioned that sooner."

"I thought it was quite obvious that there has to be no shield otherwise the laser blast couldn't pass through."

"Oh… opps."

The fox flew at the robot that only stood there. It didn't want to hurt its master in the process of killing Sonic and so only watched as the two neared. Miles threw Sonic who then proceeded to spin dash. He struck the eye, but bounced off. The eye soon began to whirl and moan at high pitches. The head soon blasted and it became headless.

The robot fell forward almost crushing Sonic who was grabbed out of the way by Tails. "Thanks buddy. When does the factory blow?"

BOOOOOOM!

The whole place began to shake "I think now."

"Whoa! What gave that away?" Sonic replied in a jokingly sarcasm way.

Sonic dashed out, not realy worried about Tails since he was almost as fast as he was. They both made it out just in time before the flames overcame them.

Sonic stopped and watched the flames soar into the sky and Tails landed besides him. Sonic saluted and sang "Ohhhhh, say can you seeeeeeee. By the dawn's earrrrrly liiiiiight."

Tails smiled and rolled his eyes "Cut it out Sonic."

"Just a minute I want to say the good part first. Aaaaand the rocket's reeeed glaaaaaare, the bombs bursstiiiing in aiiiiiiir, gave proooof that-Sonic-and-Tails-has-destroyed-the-factory. Okay, let's go."

Sonic turned and began to walk away. The fox twirled his Tails and hovered above ground following Sonic "What do we do now?"

"Is there any more bases?" Sonic stopped and turned to Tails and crossed his arms with a smile planted on his face. The fox landed "Nope. That was the last one."

Sonic fell backwards "GOOD, I don't want to fight any of your robots anymore… Actually now that I know the 3.9's weakness I kind of want to fight another one. Maybe two or three."

"Say four and I'll laugh."

"Why?" Sonic looked up. Three 3.9s were advancing toward them "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! I'm GLAD I didn't say four."

Sonic jumped to his feet. Tails tapped his new brother's shoulder "Here, I'll take one you take the others."

Sonic shrugged "I don't see why not. Let's do it."

Tails flew forward while Sonic stood and watched his first attacker come at him. He dodged its first swing and ran up its arm and smashed his eye. He barely got away before the head blew up.

"Phew, that was close." He landed and decided to mess with the last robot he had to face and watch Tails get his own first robot.

The fox landed right in front of his robot. The giant machine stopped and looked down at him. It only stood there looking down at its master in respect. The fox felt bad. He didn't want to destroy his own creation that was actually realy loyal to him. He charged his Tails and shot into the air. The robot followed in till they met eyes to eye.

Tails smiled nervously and waved. The robot, hesitantly, copied. The golden fax suddenly charged and struck the eye, but didn't get out in time. The blast caused him to soar into the sky and crash down into the sand.

Sonic saw this and cried out "TAILS!"

The robot he kept running around of stopped and looked over at where Tails fell in worry. Sonic ran up its leg and then kicked its eye while propelling forward. Soon that robot's head blew and Sonic was next to Tails "Buddy, are you all right?"

The fox coughed "Yah… I got stuck in the eye when it blew."

Tails sat up with a saddened expression "What's wrong little guy?"

"That robot… he seemed so nice to me. They all do. I don't want to hurt them. They were like family."

Sonic lifted the fox up with a helping hand "Well… sometimes we have got to do things we don't want to if it's the right thing. I'm sure if that robot was realy good, he would have told you to do it."

Tails' ears flattened against his skull "I guess. That's not the same though."

"I… I never said it was. It was only an example that popped into my head. That usually helps."

"Did it with me?"

"… I never thought about it with you in till our last fight." Tails looked down, Sonic tried to finish quickly "Only because I was too stupid to do so at first."

"I know. I don't blame you."

"You should."

"I don't."

"… Let's just go home bud." Sonic hugged Tails who stiffened but returned it anyways.

Sonic stood to his full height, looked at the flames, and then turned around starting at a slow jog so Tails could keep up. One the two were next to each other Sonic picked up the pace to a run. They came to a plane that looked like Sonic's old one and the fox jumped into the pilot seat while Sonic jumped into the co-pilot seat next to his best friend.

Miles activated the engine and they soared off into the sunset.

Sonic and Tails landed in the Mystic Ruins on top of the biggest hill next to a mountain. On the hill was a small cottage and the whole area was covered in snow. The garage of the small cottage opened and Tails was able to park in it. The floor rotated so that the plane faced the exit while the two hopped off. The garage closed and Sonic stepped into their living room. Inside had a nice fire going and a Christmas tree set up near the tinted window. Sonic sighed out in relief and walked forward so Tails could see the warm view.

Tails looked around, but didn't smile. Sonic's own smile almost faded "Is… there something wrong."

"What is this?"

"Christmas decorations. Haven't you heard of Christmas?"

"… yah, but… I've always hated it. That's the time I always freeze and I get to see people enjoying themselves while I get beat up. NOT the typical holiday a kid likes… but I'll give it one more try. I have nothing better to do."

Sonic cheered up "Great. I have all of it down. The Christmas Cookies, the Decorations, Sally did this while we were away by the way, and now all that is missing is the presents."

Tails turned from interested into shock "P-presents?"

"Yah."

"S-Sonic y-you don't have to get me anything."

"Yah, but I "WANT" to get you something. That's what the most special thing to do for Christmas. The joy of giving something to someone to let them know you care."

Tails looked surprised and confused at the same time "But… but I don't have anything to give."

Sonic rolled his eyes with his smile "No silly. You're suppose to get one. By means of buying it or making it. Whatever you want, even if you have it. Christmas day will be a blast for me and you. This is actually the first Christmas I have celebrated with anyone. So the experience is new for me too."

Tails smiled a little and nodded, but a knock came at the front door. Tails walked over and opened it. The mail-man was a mouse and jumped when he saw who opened the door. He trembled as he tossed the letters inside "M-m-mail f-for S-Sonic the Heh-hedgehog?"

Sonic walked over and picked up the letters "I got it thanks."

The mail-mouse nodded and with one look at Tails ran away as if he were about to die. Tails shut the door with a hurt expression. Is that what people still think of him? An evil psychopath? He wasn't like that anymore. A few months of fighting off robots, that HE made, and destroying his OWN bases or saving the lives of villages. One that comes to mind is when the people thanked him but freaked out when they recognized him and screamed for their children to run from him.

Sonic saw the fox's expression and said "Don't worry bud. They'll warm up to you eventually. With Eggman wanting to fight us for fun and pretend to try and conquer the universe you'll look like a hero every time we "stop" him."

Tails looked up slightly and said quietly like he was about to cry "I don't think that will ever happen Sonic… You remember the village."

Sonic looked at him sadly "Those guys were a bunch of morons. They didn't even look like they went to school."

Tails shrugged. Sonic smiled lightly and opened one letter. It was a Christmas Card from the king. Not surprising, the king keeps sending him cards, but he grew angry with this one. Near the end were the words "Hopefully the fox doesn't kill you."

The blue hero tossed it into the fire. He will not keep anything like that around. Tails didn't notice. The last two were different one was defiantly from the royalties and the other was from Amy. How he knew, the letter was pink. Sonic didn't want to open the pink letter yet so he opened the royalty one. He grew a soured expression when he read it and threw that one in the fire as well. Tails noticed "What was it?"

Sonic slowly looked at Tails with a hurt expression "You don't want to know."

"Tell me."

"… The letter was from the king saying that he'll send soldiers here immediately if I wanted it to subdue you."

Tails now had tears running down his cheeks as he looked down and shook violently trying to contain them. Sonic sat down next to his friend and put a hand over his shoulders like a hug "Look. I solemnly swear I will do NO…such THING!"

Tails sniffed a little and sobbed out "It's not that… It's the fact that I was right. They still see me as a monster."

Sonic shook his head "Good thing you didn't hear the first letter." The hedgehog stood and opened the last one, but got something better than a love card. But then he looked sad. He looked back at Tails "This is going to hurt the little guy."

The letter read:

"Dear Sonic,

The whole group that fought in the war against Destructor (That's what they are calling it now) has been invited, excluding Eggman, to a Christmas Party at my apartment. So Sally, Knuckles, Rouge, Cheese and Cream, Ralph, Antoine, Bunnie, Rotor, and you will be coming, no choice given.

-Amy Rose

PS: Make sure you don't bring that Two-tailed creep."

Sonic didn't want to go, but if he didn't the whole group, except Sally or Ralph, would think that Tails had done something to him. Sonic walked over to Tails and after ripping out the bottom with the "PS" he gave it to Tails. The fox read it and his expression that Sonic thought couldn't get any sadder, got sadder.

Sonic shook his head "I would bring you with us, but… she said not to."

"The bottom you ripped off."

"Yah."

"Insulting me?"

"…uh"

"That's a yes." Tails looked down.

Sonic took the note and said "If I don't go they'll think that you did something to me, and if I do go they will wonder how I left you. I'll just tell them I left you to do whatever you want till I get back. That's how much I trust you."

Tails shrugged "When is Christmas?"

"… In… Nine hours. Nine hours in till Christmas so that's midnight right?"

Tails looked at a clock. It said "3:01" "A minute ago it was nine hours in till."

Sonic had his ears lowered just like Tails "Look… I am realy, realy sorry. I wish that I can be with you Tails, but I have to go to this party. Not that I want to. For your safety I will. I don't want an army to storm this house because I failed to show up at something."

Tails only shook his head "Forget it Sonic. I have never liked Christmas so this doesn't make a difference to me."

Sonic looked down at Tails and then threw the letter into the fire "I am sorry buddy."

Sonic walked off and looked under the Christmas Tree. For once, he wants to have Tails smile more often. That's all he wants form Christmas. Or to know when his birthday was. The fox was now seven and he doesn't know the birthday. Tails won't tell him, because he doesn't want to celebrate it.

Tails felt his hero leave the room and the fox stared into the fire as tears fell from his face. So much for a better life style.

Christmas Day

Sonic walked out of the house after saying goodbye to Tails. He then ran at top speed to his destination. He arrived at the apartment and knocked. Amy Opened it and recognized him immediately. She jumped and hugged into him causing him to moan in annoyance "SONIC! You came. I thought that monster did something to you."

"He's not a creep or a monster. I'm the one that looks like a monster, Tails is just a kid." Ralph stepped out the door in his new armor Tails made for him to keep him alive. It was completely black, no once of skin or fur was shown, and his mask slightly looked like a gas mask, but you could hear each time the machine breathed for him, almost like he was the Star Wars character Darth Vader. Ralph would even make fun of his breathing saying he'd dress up as the sith lord on Halloween.

Amy let Sonic go and the hedgehog smiled at Ralph "Good to see you Ralph."

"Good to see you too. How's the fox holding up?"

Amy looked angry "Don't talk about that fox!"

Sonic ignored her "Fine, he's doing better." He then turned to Amy and almost yelled "He also saved my life."

Ralph started laughing along with Sonic as Amy stomped in-sided. Cream came out and shouted "SHUT-UP! No one wants to hear about that two-timing creep. Yes, PUN INTENEDED. Now get in or I'll lock you out."

Both Sonic and Ralph jumped in. Cream then stormed away while her chao screamed "CHAO, CHAO, CHAO!" At them.

Ralph then whispered to Sonic "It's hard to believe that a six year old can be so scary."

Sonic sniggered as he closed the door. Sally walked over to them and hugged both "It's good to see you again Sonic. Ralph."

"Nice to see me too. Well… what's left of it." Ralph joked.

Sally rolled her eyes and looked at Sonic "Ralph and I have been watching your adventures with Tails Sonic. Are you done?"

"Yah. We destroyed the last base yesterday."

"Good."

"But Tails thinks there might have been some robots leave before then to search for their "missing" master."

Sally nodded "Well… I'll tell my father about this. You do know everyone will just think Tails is making them to find a weakness right?"

Sonic sighed "Yah… I know."

They continued into the room and sitting on couches were the others: Knuckles, Rouge ( surprisingly), Rotor, Antoine, and Bunnie. Sally whispered to Sonic "By the way. Bunnie and Antoine got engaged seven months ago."

Sonic walked over to the two "So Ant. I hear you and Bunnie here are in looooooove." Both began to blush as they stared at the hedgehog "What? Is it that embracing?"

Bunnie shook her head "No, suga… its jus'… we though' you never go' word."

Sonic smiled "Tails would never want me out of contact of my friends Bunnie."

Sally smiled too as she thought "Well. He never said Tails let him know that. Good deception." It has been the goal of Ralph, Sally, Sonic, and (secretly) Eggman to make the world see the two tailed fox as a hero not the person he use to be.

Bunnie became rigid hearing the name "Ah-ah guess."

"Pleaze do not mentio' ze fox." Antoine spoke up.

Sonic looked over at Sally "Apparently Ant also had an encouragement boost. I've missed so much."

Tails was on top of the building next to the apartment. He had binoculars in his hand and he looked at the group. He still felt connected with Sonic and wanted to see him smile when he opened one of his gifts. The fox wanted to see this smile and compare it to the one Sonic will give him when Tails got him his gift.

Tails put it down as the whole group was called in for breakfast. (Tails can read lips) Miles then looked around; he wore his long coat to cover his two tails and a hood to cover most of his face.

The fox heard a scream and looked down. A mother was trying to get her son who was about to be crushed by and oncoming car. The fox leapt off the building and spun his Tails quickly. Right before the car struck the child Tails grabbed him and pulled him out of the way.

Once the car passed the mother ran across the road to her child. Tails picked him up and gave him to the crying mother. The mother looked up about to thank him, but the process of saving the child had blown his hood off so the mother actually screamed and ran away once she recognized him.

Tails curled his fists as tears started to come out. He threw the hood over his head again and shot up and out of sight in the clouds. The fox soon landed near a store and went in. He still had his hood on as he walked in so no one stared at him for long.

Tails walked around and bought the items he was looking for and as he got to the counter he set them down. The cashier added up the numbers and the fox paid it. Miles then left the store with his bought items he set out by running again. "I wonder how Silver is doing."

The Future

Silver was in Blaze's apartment learning everything he should have if it weren't for Destructor. Blaze had been trying to help him and even got through explaining what the holiday was (Christmas as well). It was actually Blaze's job to teach Silver everything she could about what time is suppose to be presently (Yes, she gets paid to do that. And since Silver doesn't know about finance and money he has to live with Blaze, separate rooms though. This makes the grey hedgehog uncomfortable)

Blaze had gotten two bottles of Root beer. And gave Silver one "Okay." She twisted the cap to the left and with some effort was able to twist it off. "See? It's easy."

"Why does it make that sound?" Silver looked perplexed.

She giggled trying to hold in laughter "The carbon dioxide in the liquid is escaping from the water and bottle creating that noise."

"So… Wait. This is soda?"

"Yes. The type of soda is called Root beer. You've heard of this?"

Silver shrugged "Eggman mentioned soda and we talked about if you shake it, it starts building up pressure."

Blaze put the cap back on the bottle and shook it for a while, afterwards she reopened it and fuzz started to come out. Silver jumped back in surprise and Blaze smiled "This is the "Pressure" the doctor mentioned. Shake it and the soda starts to build up. The fuzz is the sudden release of CO2 causing the gas and the water to come up all at the same time."

"Realy."

"Yep."

Silver grabbed his bottle and began to shake it. Blaze thought nothing of it; she only figured Silver wanted to see if he could do it. She only began to get worried and lower her ears against her head when the hedgehog wouldn't stop "Wh-what are you doing?"

As Silver continued to shake it quickly the hedgehog responded with a smile "Eggman also told me it you keep shaking it the cap will pop off."

"Yah, but that's not a good idea."

"Why?"

"Well… pop is too subtle of a word. It's more like "It explodes off the bottle."

"Oh. So I should stop?"

"Yes, please."

Silver nodded "Okay." But suddenly the cap want "POP!" and made a loud sound startling Silver as he toppled backward after shrieking. He dropped the bottle that began to fuzz very fast unlike Blaze's. The lavender cat stood up once the cap shoot off holding her head where the cap hit her.

She walked over to Silver who stood back up and said "I'm never doing that again."

Blaze smiled and shook her head. The cat walked over to the cupboards and pulled out two glasses. She poured equal amounts of her soda in each and gave a glass to Silver. The hedgehog smiled guiltily and blushed "Thanks."

Blaze, after taking a sip, replied "Merry Christmas."

Silver took a sip of his own, but delight spread across his face and he chugged the rest down. He took a breath "That was good. Oh, and a merry Christmas to you."

Blaze shrugged with a smile and pulled out two more bottles. She then said "You won't shake this one up, right."

Silver shook his head quickly "Ohhhhhhh no."

"Good." She handed him a bottle.

He looked at it and then thought for a moment. Blaze, after taking a gulp of Root beer, looked at Silver and looked sad "You don't want it?"

Silver shook his head "Oh, no. I want it, but I know someone who's never had Root beer and could use some Christmas cheer. Tails."

Blaze choked on her soda and began to cough. Silver's ears went down "Oh great. Don't tell me they still hate Tails."

"TAILS THE FOX? THE GREATEST HERO EVER KNOWN?"

Silver was shocked "Yah, Tails is a hero. I'm not sure about greatest since I don't know any other hero."

"Come on. He helped you defeat the Mysterious Villain."

"… Do you know… who the Mysterious Villain even was?"

"No. But all I have to know is that Tails is the reason that villain is gone."

Silver smiled "Oh, boy. People forgot Tails was the villain. Ohhhh. I don't want to ruin his reputation here. Well I want to give him this soda."

"Go ahead. I'd be honored to know my own gift to you went to him."

Silver's smile widened "Do you know where he lived?"

"Yah, pfff. Who doesn't? Oh… I mean besides you."

"Tell me."

Present

Tails looked across the street and into the apartment where Sonic was now just opening his gift. Sonic was shocked to see it was a chaos emerald and thanked the person who gave it to him. Tails put down the binoculars and had a frown on himself. It was now night time and he couldn't help but think that there was no way his gift would top that.

The fox left and went home.

Sonic began to pack his presents and put on his new coat from Amy it was blue, but darker than his original color. He also got a decretive sword from Ant, a sweater from Bunnie, a strange machine Rotor got him that Tails needs to explain, the chaos emerald from Knuckles, an expensive camera from Sally, nothing from Rouge (except a flirtatious move toward him), a prototype rifle from Ralph (the dog also gave a piece of paper to him that'll explain what the gun was later), and a flower crown from Cream and Cheese. Sonic knew what the flower crowns were since the fox told him during their adventures.

As Sonic was about to leave Sally stopped him and gave him four gifts as she whispered "Read the labels. Two from Ralph one to Tails and the other to Eggman. The other two are from me to Tails and the other to Eggman." Ralph and Sally were the only two who knew Eggman was still a good guy, only acting like a bad one.

Sonic winked and dashed off. He arrived home and opened the door "Tails. I'm back."

The fox was reading a news paper. "Where did you get that?" Sonic was surprised to see the news in front of Tails, especially since he doesn't receive the papers and it was today's.

The fox responded "I got it when I was walking around town. I also saw that special gift you got. The chaos emerald."

Sonic gulped. He then looked under the tree. There was a bottle of Root beer and a present labeled out to him (Not the bottle).

Sonic set Tails' presents under the tree and Eggman's on a table. Sonic then grabbed the gift and began to open it. Tails stiffened as he heard the wrapping paper rip. Sonic opened up the box inside and saw another machine. More complicated than Rotor's Sonic had no idea, not a clue, what this thing was. "Wow. Tails… What is this?"

The fox slid down his seat as if hopping that he could disappear and never comeback. His ears flattened again as he responded quietly "It's a chaos emerald locator."

Sonic's expression lightened and a giant smile widened across his face "You're kidding."

Tails heard the unbelief in his hero's voice and looked over to see the biggest and warmest smile he ever saw the hedgehog make "Y-yah. You put a chaos emerald on the top and if there is an emerald nearby it can detect it."

Sonic took his new emerald and placed it on top. The screen turned on and like a radar screen it showed power signatures nearby. It also said there was an emerald right where Sonic was standing, but not the one in the machine "Huh?"

The earth shook and a voice was heard crying out "HALLOOOOOO! Is anyone in there?"

Sonic smiled and rolled his eyes. He took off Amy's coat and walked outside with Tails right behind him "Hi Egghead."

"Eggman." The doctor corrected. Metal Sonic stood there with cracked ground under him. That must have been what caused the shake. "Now I will finally kill you. Metal, ATTACK!"

Sonic looked at the robot and saw that as it charged up to dash at him it winked. Sonic smiled and spin dashed. As the robot blasted forward it quickly maneuvered secretly so that Sonic didn't hit it too hard, but made it appear that he hit it. Metal then blasted away and Eggman looked over and watched him.

Tails flew up and looked at the doctor. Eggman turned around and was surprised "What are you up to brat?"

Tails knew Eggman didn't mean it and was only playing his evil part, but it still hurt. Tails smiled and swung his Tails. The twin-tails smacked Eggman's pod causing him to fly away as he screamed "I'll get you both for this."

Sonic and Tails laughed and walked back into their house and waited. Eggman and Metal soon teleported into the house with gifts. "One for Tails and one for you."

Eggman gave Tails his gift while Metal gave Sonic his. Sonic took it and said "I find it suspicious that the robot gives me mine."

Eggman sighed and snatched the gift and then gave it back "Better."

As Sonic took it he said "I was only joking."

Tails opened his gift and it was the "World's Most Difficult Puzzles." Tails smiled "Thanks Eggman."

"You're welcome."

Sonic opened his "A puzzle book?"

Eggman slapped himself "No, no! It's a riddle book."

"Yah. Riddles are puzzles."

"Not realy."

"They make you puzzled."

"That doesn't make it a puzzle."

Tails handed Eggman a gift "What? For me? Realy?"

Tails smiled and said "Alright I'll take it back."

Eggman took it "No, no. I was surprised that's all." Eggman opened it. It was another machine. Sonic was confused, but Eggman wasn't "Wow! Thanks Tails, this will come in handy for when I shall "Finally take over the world"."

"What is it?"

"Just a machine part I'm missing for my generator."

"Oh. Here, from Sally and Ralph."

"Ah. Good people, good people… A notebook, for designs for my robots I guess, and… a toolbox from Ralph I bet."

Tails opened his gift from Ralph "He gave me a toolbox. So… yah. He gave you a toolbox."

Eggman shrugged "Lack of imagination."

Sonic looked over at metal "My gift to you is not destroying you."

"Same." Was the robot's response.

Eggman walked over to the soda bottle with a note on top and he knelt down to read it. He began to laugh "HO, HO, HO, HO! He makes me laugh."

Sonic grabbed Tails and put him next to Eggman and took a picture. Eggman was surprised "What was that for?"

"You sound like Santa Clause. You look like Santa Clause. So you must be Santa Clause."

"I AM NOT!... Uhhhhh. Let us leave Metal."

As they were about to teleport away Sonic said "Next time get a white beard, and you might fool us."

They were soon gone. Sonic walked over to the bottle and read it as well. He laughed and gave Tails it "Here, it's from Silver."

The fox took it with a confused expression. It read:

"Hi Tails. It's me. Silver. I'm sorry that I couldn't meet in person. You weren't home when I came. Anyways. I know you never had soda before and so I wanted to give you this Root beer. Blaze in my present, or your future said it would be an honor. Also refrain from shaking the bottle. It might cause it to turn into a bomb and scare the living life out of you once it goes off. Drink carefully, also enjoy. Because I think this type of soda is delicious, DELICIOUS!"

Tails smiled and flipped the card over that read something Eggman and Sonic didn't see. It read:

"Also, Blaze here is hot. You know. Cute, beautiful. That sort of stuff. I just can't bring myself to say anything to her without it being related to you guys. I was hoping you could come here and help me. Thanks

-Silver

Tails smiled but dropped it when he saw Sonic. He was pointing a camera at him "OHHHHH! Come on Tails. Pleeeeeeeease. Smile."

"No."

"Come on. Camera shy?"

"I don't want to be in a photo."

"That's a big yes."

Tails lifted his hand and blocked the camera view "Put it down Sonic."

"Nah-uh."

"Fine, but I'm not smiling."

Tails looked at the bottle and Sonic snapped the picture. The fox tensed and rolled his eyes. He opened it and sipped "Whoa! Yum." Tails almost smiled, but his face did give away that he liked the drink. Sonic snapped another picture. Tails lowered his drink and said "Cut it out."

"One more?"

"No… hey Sonic. Look at this."

Tails lifted the bottle and the hero read it. He then breathed in his own spit in surprise and began to cough. Tails took the camera as Sonic began to pound his chest to stop cough and he heard a click and turned to see Tails holding the camera smiling.

Sonic smiled and started to laugh still coughing. Sonic straitened and took the camera "You little sneak. I can't believe that."

Tails smiled, but quickly hid it when he saw Sonic raise the camera "DANG IT! Almost had you."

Tails looked at the bottle "Yah. The expiration date is long, LONG into the future."

Sonic cocked his head with a cocky smiled "I wonder why."

They both giggled a little bit and Tails followed Sonic to their separate bedrooms.

Another Dimension

Blaze the Cat, guardian of the sol emeralds, has the power of pyrokinesis, and princess, stood in her castle looking out. It was peaceful, mainly because she had defeated Eggman Nega again, but still, it was peaceful. She turned around and began to walk away in till the planet shook. The lavender cat swung around and looked out the window. There was a hug light in the distance like the color was fading on paper, but almost as soon as she saw it, it was gone. She was confused.

She walked over to a guard who also saw that "HEY! Send a search party over there to see what that was." She never realy got along with anyone because of her duties as guardian of the sol emeralds and feeling separate because of her powers. So it was safe to say she has no friends, nor did she have any friends.

The guard nodded as he sweated and ran off. She sighed and walked over to her bedroom, but where the light was stood a robot. The robot was completely black and skinny. It was slightly bigger than Sonic and it looked around with its evil red eyes. He pressed a button on his wrist, but stopped when he heard voices.

"Sheesh. That princess, she is rude and cruel." A completely black hedgehog said this he also had blue eyes.

The other was a bird "Yah, but at least she goes around protecting people."

"HA! That isn't protection for the people. She's only doing that because she thinks Eggman Nega is after the emeralds she guards."

"Realy? Man, so much for the protecting princess I've heard about."

They began to search the area, but the robot had disappeared, but there were no trees or hills to hide him. The shrugged and turned around, but then two red eyes came on from out of nowhere and slowly his armor became visible and out of cloak mode. He walked behind the hedgehog and scanned him.

Once they left, they didn't notice the robot suddenly change from robot look to a black hedgehog look with purple eyes (Because red and blue make purple). The robot, now hedgehog looking robot, pressed his wrist again and he said "Alpha One calling Phi (F-ie)."

"Yes?" Said a lighter tone yet still dark.

"I found the dimension and have a new form. When am I forced back?"

"In five seconds."
