New chapter, insert wording here:
So here we are, on the fourth chapter and MY GOD! I have totally neglected the other story... hm. How 'bout that? Maybe I should start writing something there before my zero reviewers start to send me PMs going, "WHY AREN'T YOU WRITING, TYPING?" And then I can say. "Idunno?"
Alright, start time GO!
...
"So what was that yer say a bit ago? Sommet 'bout the world endin' in a week?" Marine asked. She sat in a chair in her lounge room of her house. Tails and Blaze shared a couch adjacent to that. There was nothing particularly special about Marine's lounge room, it was rather dull, poorly furnished, and definitely was rarely used. Dust covered darn near everything in there.
"Oh ya, about that. If you see me, don't tell me I am here." Blaze said.
"Wha-
"Here, let me explain." Tails interrupted. "About a week and a day ago, at least from Blaze's point of view. Your world was destroyed, from some sort of nuclear fusion incident I think?" Tails looked at Blaze who gave him a nod. "She was transported to my world a day ago, at least from her point of view. When she arrived, I was out test flying my new airplane, when I saw her and seven glowing dots materialize in the distance, the Chaos emerald powering my plane started to act up in response as well. So I went to get a closer look and in the process saved Blaze's life. The next day, we went searing for her Sol emeralds, which were brought over with her. They were the seven glowing dots that I ignored catching while saving Blaze. Anyways, they impacted the ground in my front yard and we went out to get them. Upon finding a single entry hole and uncovering an emerald, I sorta transported us back in time two weeks and one day, and also sent us to your world." Tails explained very clearly.
"Oi, that makes sense. Well, if yer gonna be headin' back to Tails' world. Then could Oi come with? Stayin' 'ere to die ain't exactly my cuppa tea." Marine asked.
"Sure. Of course." Blaze and Tails said together. They each looked at each other then blushed and looked away. Marine giggled under her breath, trying not to let either of the two hear.
"Whats so funny Marine?" The two of them spoke in unison again. They scooted away from each other slightly and also looked the other way. Faces still slightly red.
"You two loike each other!" Marine said excitedly, standing up and pointing at the two. She giggled menacingly, understanding that she had the power to bug the two oh so very greatly till they realized their own feelings.
"What? No we don't!" They both spoke in unison again, each saying that same thing very quickly as well.
"Stop saying the same thing as me!" Blaze said.
"You first!"
Blaze growled playfully and tackled Tails off the couch. Once she had him on the ground, she sat on top of him and folded her arms. "Ha!"
Tails got up and flipped her over on her back. Then took off to get on the other side of the couch. Blaze got up and chased him around the couch a few times. Tails stopped and leaped over the couch, tackling Blaze and pinning her to the floor. "I win!"
Marine sat on top of Tails' back. "No, I win." She wore a smug face.
"Oof! You two are heavy, get offa me!" Blaze cried out. Both of them complied and removed themselves.
"You started it." Tails said. Blaze turned to him and smiled.
"Shutup." Blaze said. "Now listen. The other two people I want alive are my parents, maybe we should get them now and leave."
"Nope, when was the last time you saw your parents?"
"About a half hour before the apocalypse of sorts happened."
"Then we need to get them after that. Who knows what could happen if we got them before that, BAD BAD BAD things might happen." Tails insisted. "Plus we are on a nice pretty beach, have a week. I say we play vacation!" Tails suggested.
"That is a good idea." Blaze agreed.
"Oi also agree!" Marine said. A/N I give up with Marine's accent, too damn hard to write and all the red squiggly lines under the fake words are bugging the crap outta me.
"So what do we do?" Blaze asked.
"I have an idea..." Marine said with a devious smile.
...
"MARINE! Open this closet! NOW!" Blaze yelled from the inside of a dark closet, she could not see a darn thing. She rapped on the closet door hard. She thought about going inferno on this closet, but, Tails...
"Wow, your friend is clever... I don't even know how I ended up in here..." Tails said with wonder, he was crammed in the small closet as well. He was trying to recall the circumstances under which he ended up in here with Blaze. Wait, with Blaze? "I-I just realized how close we are in here."
"Wha-? I just want to get out of here!" Blaze pounded on the door, but it was solid. "What the heck at these doors made of!" Tails stepped forward and knocked gently on the door with the back of his hand.
"Fiberglass? What the fu- hell?" Tails said, he caught himself from saying the 'F' word. Tails was many things, but certainly not a potty mouth.
"Yer got 3 hours to go. I will be out building my new boat. Seeya then!" Marine said excitedly. Blaze and Tails heard footsteps fade away as she walked out the door and shut it.
"Now what?" Tails asked, turning to Blaze. Both of them were trying to give the other their personal space so Tails was smashed against a far corner while Blaze was adjacent, they were still only 2 feet apart. "Also, why on earth would Marine have a SOLID fiberglass door? What the hell? This a panic room or something?"
"I dunno, we stand uncomfortably like this for three hours." Blaze said in a rather distasteful voice. "As for the door, this small island gets some pretty wicked tropical storms, I am guessing that the door is just ONE of the many things that make this closet special."
"This sucks."
"It does."
...
"Maybe we can tell riddles, here, I got one." Tails said, Blaze was about to interject but he had already started talking. "So you are a bus driver. You work the hours from 6 AM till 6PM. Everyday you get new people, but there are four specific people that get on your bus at a certain time and get off. Randy, the first guy, gets on at your first stop and gets off at you eighth. Joe, gets on at you second stop and gets off at the sixth. Bob gets on at the third stop and gets off at the seventh. Michelle gets on at your fourth stop and gets off at the ninth. Now, using the information I just gave you, what color is the bus drivers hair, err, fur?"
"Lavender." Blaze said simply, she pointed to herself. "Or lilac, whatever you want to call it."
"Good! Most people look at me like it was a difficult riddle." Tails said, honestly surprised that Blaze knew the answer. Not only was she super pretty, but smart too? Tails did not know which part was better! "You know, you're smart. I like that..."
"Me? Expecting an idiot where we Tails?" Blaze said with a playfully accusing smile. The two of them were adjusting to the little amount of light that was available in the closet, they could now see the other rather clearly. Neither could make out colors very well though.
"Wh-what! N-no! Of course not!" Tails said loudly, holding his hands in front of him and waving them defensively.
"Ha! I'm just jokin' Tails. Relax." Blaze said, she gave Tails a comforting smile.
"Alright, I am serious though. I really do like the fact that your smart, it's great!" Tails said.
"Thanks Tails, but your probably smarter than I am."
"If you had an interest in it, you would know just as much as I do about building things."
"If you insist..."
"I do." Tails said.
"How long have we been in here?"
"2 minutes, why?"
"This is gonna take a while." Blaze said, her ears drooped. She crouched in a ball on the floor, hugging her knees. Tails did the same in his corner.
The two sat there for the next ten minutes, neither said much of anything. Although Blaze had begun to notice a smell of some sort, it floated through the air. Not necessarily a bad smell, but it certainly wasn't stereotypically pleasant either.
"When was the last time you took a bath Tails?" Blaze asked.
"Umm, two days ago, I need a shower." Tails frowned. "The night before I met you. Sorry, do I smell bad?" He asked, very embarrassed.
"Well, no, not necessarily, it is difficult to explain. But you definitely smell funny." Blaze said, sniffing the air. She was getting used to the smell, as a matter of fact, she could not stop herself from sniffing every few seconds, just to get another whiff of whatever it was.
"Are you sure? Now I am very embarrassed, you must think I am disgusting."
"No, I don't! Really! Its just, different." She said, memorizing the scent. She sighed pleasantly, feeling unusually peaceful and easy.
"So, what are your parents like?" Tails asked, trying to change the subject.
Blaze was getting addicted to this smell and figured that a change of subject was a good idea. "Oh, they are great people! I really love them, they are great parents. As well as a great king and queen."
"Wh-what do you think they will think of me?" Tails asked nervously.
Blaze frowned. "They really don't support anything interracial. So just don't act too cozy with me around them and you will be fine."
Tails' ears drooped in a saddening manner. "O-oh." Blaze looked down and drooped her ears as well.
"What is that smell?" Blaze asked incredulously, lifting her head and ears all the while breaking the silence. It was starting to get her high at this point. "I dunno how to explain it. But it is making me feel... I am not so sure." She felt a strange feeling she did not normally feel, she could not put her finger on it though. Or explain it very well. But right now it was not welcome at all, it was really starting to bother her.
"I don't know." Tails smelled his armpits. No, nothing specifically there. He smelled the back of his hand and other parts of his arms. "I don't know what you are smelling Blaze."
"It had better stop soon." Blaze was blushing for some reason at this point. She did not want to admit it, but whatever the smell was, it was a real turn on. Wait... "Pheromones. That explains it!" Blaze said excitedly.
"Pheromones?"
"Yes." Blaze was still blushing but was able to hold back the rather creepy things she wanted to do to Tails right now. "That means you are, well, ummm-"
"I know what it means!" Tails said. "I have a lot of will power to hide this sort of thing, at least emotionally. But my body still does its thing." Now Tails was blushing.
"Does this have anything to do with me?" Blaze asked, looking for an honest answer.
"Look, Blaze, it does. I really like you, I want you to understand that." Tails said seriously. "What are your feelings about that?" He really wanted to know.
"Whatever they are, it will be biased from being high on your pheromones! Give it a break Tails!" Blaze said, making gestures, desperately trying to rid her nose of the smell. She was gonna go crazy if she had to deal with it for much longer.
"I can't help it! I am so sorry." Tails said, trying to calm down.
"I will tell you what I think right now I guess. I think I like you back, Tails. I really do." Blaze said sincerely. She scooted over till she was right next to Tails. The smell was stronger now, almost unbearable.
"Thanks Blaze." Tails scooted closer to her. Blaze leaned against him in return. Her feelings rose above her desires and she did not notice the smell anymore. They both just sat there peacefully for a while.
"What do you wanna do when all of this craziness is over?" Blaze asked, wrapping her arms around Tails and closing her eyes. Tails blushed and accepted the hug.
"I am not so sure. I am not even sure of how we will get back." Tails said with a confused face. Blaze looked up at him.
"Am I going too fast?" Blaze asked. Tails gave her a confused look. "Are you ok with me on you like this?" She asked again.
Tails looked down at her and smiled. "Sit up so I don't have to crane my neck to see those beautiful eyes of yours." He said, lifting her into a sitting position right next to him.
Blaze blushed lightly from such a comment. "What now?" She put a seductive twang in her voice as she said that, also maneuvering her face a little closer to his. Tails brought his head a little closer as well and touched her forehead with his.
"Kissing could be...umm...fun?" Tails suggested shyly.
"That sounds like a plan to me!" Blaze hastily agreed. She rubbed his muzzle with her own and rubbed her hands up and down his back. Tails returned treatment. Then the two separated for a second to look into the others eyes clearly.
They tilted heads and brought their faces closer to each other...
"Hey you two!" Marine's voice was heard as the closet doors whipped open. Tails jumped slightly and bumped Blaze in the forehead. In response they each fell back and held onto their heads.
"MARINE!" Tails and Blaze shouted in unison. They each layed back in the closet, squinting from the light that flooded through the newly opened doors.
"It was just getting good too!" Blaze yelled. She very clearly annoyed and quite frustrated.
"S-sorry. Oi thought it was a bit much to lock yer both in the closet like that. Came in to let yer out." Marine said with an apologetic tone. "Didn't mean to interrupt yer two's, err, moment, like that."
"I think we'll have to take a rain check on that...makeout...session." Tails said slowly, nervous and shy again.
"Y-ya. Some other time." Blaze said, looking away and blushing lightly.
"Yer two are so cute!" Marine said, coming between the two and putting and arm across each of their shoulders.. "Oi have an idea!" She said, slowly leading them into the lounge.
"Lets hear it!" Tails said brightly, then his face dimmed. "No, actually, lets leave Blaze come up with an idea."
"What! Wha's wrong with moi idears!" Marine said angrily.
"Nothing, I just don't feel like being locked in a freezer. I already know what that's like." Tails said. Hugging himself and shivering lightly to show via body language how it felt.
"How did yer know Oi was gonna lock yer in the icebox?" Marine said, then paused. "...Ya do?"
"Long story." Tails said.
"Ya know what I think we should do? I think eating something would be a great thing to do to spend some time!" Blaze said, pulling the other two toward Marine's kitchen. Blaze was hungry quite often, and she really liked food. One of the best things ever, Marine's cooking was great as well.
"You two gotta head out to the forest and kill yerself some grub. Haven't gotten food in a while, I think I ate the last of the raccoon..." Marine said.
"YOU are a raccoon..." Tails said.
"Mobians and animals are different yer know. I am a wee bit heightier than an animal, as well as smarter!" Marine said.
"That has yet to be proven." Blaze said in a sarcastic tone.
"What! I am DEFINITELY taller than normal animal raccoon!"
Tails glanced at Blaze and smiled. "Stop proving our point."
"Argh! Go kill yerself sommet to eat and get outta me fur!" Marine stomped out of the room they were in then out of the house. She headed toward the docks to continue work on her boat.
Blaze looked at Tails with a questioning look.
"What?"
"How do I go kill food?" Blaze asked, blushing lightly. From embarrassment of course.
"What? You're a cat, just do what comes naturally." Tails said. Blaze nodded and they followed Marine's path out the house except they when they got outside, they walked around the house toward the back.
...
"I can't believe you did that Blaze." Tails said as he and Blaze walked around toward the front of Marine's home. They appeared to be pulling a hide, cut from an animal and now being used as a sled. on that hide were stacks of various meats. Obviously from a large animal, about the size of a full grown male deer. "How you managed to kill this thing with your bare hands is something I would rather not say." Tails said, he shivered with fright. A/N (I would break my "T" rating explaining how she took this animal out. Too gorey.)
"I don't wanna talk about it, lets just get this stuff in the 'icebox', before it starts to rot." Blaze said, letting go of the hide as they reached the front door.
"So do you wanna just grab one end and we will lift it?"
"Sure." Blaze said as she went around to the opposing side. Tails gripped his end firmly, Blaze did the same. They each lifted the meat covered hide into the air with great effort, then carried it through the front door. Tails and Blaze waddled near the kitchen, to find Marine cooking food that they actually DID have.
"Oh my gosh! Did yer find the biggest animal in the forest or what!" Marine shouted as the two walked in with it.
"I-its a little heavy Marine. Where is the freezer?" Blaze stuttered out.
"Over there." She pointed to the room across the hall. Tails and Blaze waddled into there.
"Marine! Get out here and open this thing!" They each shouted in unison.
Marine ran into the room and lifted the lid on the gigantic freezer that she had. She always kept it stocked with various meats or fish, depending on what she brought in. Blaze and Tails huffed as they lifted the meat covered hide over their heads and dropped it in the empty freezer.
"Ooof, I need a nap..." Tails complained, leaning over slightly and rubbing his back.
"Stop being such an old man!" Blaze said. She arched her back slightly backwards in the process, the room filled with a sickening crack. "Ow." She hesitated for a second, freezing in place. "I could lie down for a while too."
"Do you have a guest bedroom, Marine?" Tails asked.
"Umm, yar, tis' upstairs, first left." Marine mumbled. Tails and Blaze walked up the steps and off to said room.
Marine did not really think anything of it right now. She walked out and continued work on the S.S. Marine, a boat of course. She worked for a total of twenty minutes, then stopped. "Did Blaze and Tails take the same room?" She asked herself seriously, she did not even speak in an accent.
She ran inside, dashing quietly through the lounge, kitchen, then up her steps. When she got to the top she got even quieter, then gently set an ear against her guest bedroom door. No noise. she slowly opened it, and looked inside.
Blaze and Tails lie under the covers with clothes on, each soundly asleep. Marine relaxed, though not a whole lot as it was still amazing to see Blaze in the same BEDROOM as a boy, let alone a boy FOX, with TWO tails!
Marine slowly closed the door and went downstairs. She opened her freezer and pulled out a hunk of meat from it, part of the shoulder from this animal they managed to find. She walked into the kitchen and got out a cutting board, large steak knife, and a fork. Carefully, she sliced the meat into even pieces about a quarter inch thick. It had only been in the freezer for twenty minutes, so it was cold, but not frozen quite yet and did not need to thaw. Only cutting what the three of them could eat of course, then taking the rest and dropping it in the freezer again.
Then she continued to make a late afternoon snack for the three of them. She would call down Blaze and Tails when it was ready...
...
