Hey there, it's me… Tails. If you are wondering where Rae Logan has turned up, well… let's just say she had to take a "trip" for this "fall", she had… Never mind…
Anyway… I've seen how she's been doing with this story, and I must say, I am pretty impressed, it's almost as if it were true…
I suppose thanks are in order for reviews:

As for any questions regarding what I am up to with the Chaos Emeralds… well you'll just have to wait and see…
Oh, dear… It would seem as though Miss Rae Logan is climbing her way back through the window with a rope in hand… I must leave you now with a note of thanks for reading this as I take my leave out the opposite window… farewell, and happy reading!
That little punk! You won't believe what just happened! No, seriously, you won't…
Well… it seems he stole my thunder, and congratulated you all who are participating in the review tally… the little brat…
Oh. Be sure to check out my other fics when you finish here for now… the older ones might not be so good, but every thing from Thing I'll Never Say onward are pretty good. Oh, I believe that was what you would call a shameless plug… right? Maybe I should just give you the story. Until the end of the chapter… seeya!
"Hey, Silver!" he said again, waving at him cheerfully.
Silver turned his attention to the yellow fox, and appeared to be a little annoyed. He was obviously still ticked off at Tails' outburst earlier that day. The glow in his quills heightened a little, the top ones fanning out some. Blaze saw this and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Calm down, Silver…" She whispered in his ear. "Remember… he's only eight years old…"
Silver took a deep breath to calm himself, the glowing and fanning of the quills lessening only a little.
"Okay… what do you want?"
"I just wanted to say sorry for how I acted earlier… I had no right to jump at Shadow like that…"
"I see…' Silver's anger at the young kitsune lessened a little more. "… Well… it's nice that you admitted that you were wrong… Did you apologize to Shadow? I mean… you did shake him up pretty badly…"
"Well… not yet, exactly… He kinda hit his head on my window earlier, and I had to call Rouge to come pick him up from my house… I think he has quite a head injury."
"What happened?" asked Blaze. "Is he okay?"
"Oh, yeah… he should be okay in a day or two…"
Tails walked a little closer to Silver.
"Y'know… since one Emerald is already missing… there's a chance who ever took it will want the others. And he might already know who ones them…"
"Hmm… that's a good point… if he knows… he could steal them when we leave them behind, or something…"
Tails nodded as he crossed his tails slightly.
"I was thinking maybe you could let me keep yours safe. I have state of the art security systems, and stuff like that. If anyone tried to take it under my watch… We'll have proof on surveillance of who it was…"
"Good thinking, Tails…" said Blaze. "Wouldn't you agree, Silver?"
Silver shrugged, and then reached into one of his larger clumps of quills, extracting the white Emerald. Its sparkling beauty mesmerized the young fox, it was by far the prettiest he had seen an Emerald. If he didn't know it was an Emerald… he'd have called it a diamond.
"Just don't lose it, 'kay?"
Tails nodded eagerly, catching it in his hands as the white hedgehog tossed it at him. That was three now.
"Thank you! I'll take good care of it."
The knock on the door jolted him out of his thoughts. He dropped the crystal gem of power, and rolled under his bed. He decided to leave it there for now, and answered the door.
It was Shadow, head still bandaged, but overall, looking much better.
"Hey Shadow… how's your head doing?"
"Better. Actually… I left my Emerald here. May I please have it back?"
Tails' heart sunk. He needed that Emerald. But he decided to make this seem not at all anything to arise suspicions. He went under his bed, pried up the floorboards once more, and extracted the green Emerald from the hiding place.
"Why did you have it under your bed?"
Tails jumped. He turned and saw Shadow standing behind him, arms crossed, foot tapping the ground impatiently. Tails decided to tell him about the "plan" he had told Silver, and even pulled out the white gem out from under the bed to help give his story a concrete feel.
"I see… well… good luck with that…" he turned around to leave with the Emerald. Tails thought fast.
"Wait! Don't you want me to look after yours?"
Shadow stopped at the door, and peered over his shoulder. He shook his head.
"I feel as if it would be safer with me…"
Tails nodded as if he understood. He did… but he needed that Emerald. He watched Shadow walk away, the sun now staining the sky as it was now beginning to set.
He shrugged it off… sooner or later… he was gonna get that Emerald.
End of chapter 5… please review… I love comments.
