A/N : I'm guessing you're all waiting for the next chapter. Well even if not I updated it now.
By the way, how about playing Sonic X's Hikaru Michi on the sixth/last day?

Day 3 : Should We Give It Another Try?
Tails approached Levinski's doorstep. He knew that he had been too hard on him. And though there was a part of him that still hated him for what he had done, Tails knew that somehow his relationship must be fixed.
He knocked the door, but there was no answer. Tails got worried and before if knew it, he spun the door knob, finding the door open.
Tails heard some snore, with a sound similar to himself. It was coming from the kitchen. He quickly rushed there and there his brother was. Levinski was lying on the floor, with a pile of bottles next to him.
The twin-tailed fox tried to count the bottles. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven...
Holy s...
Even a guy with immunity as strong as Levinski, no one can drink more than a fifty or more bottles of Vodka. Tails carried his single-tailed wasted twin to the bathroom to clean him up.
Tails was quick to take Levinski's clothes off. Now after his cloth was off, he's start to look like a green furred Tails, with one tail only.
Tails turned the shower on and aimed it at him. The cold water splashing on his face woke the fox instantly. "CHYORT! WHAT THE...?"
The fox spotted his brother giving him a bath, "Tails? What are you..."
He was unable to finish it as the younger fox showered him again.
As Tails was finished, he took Levinski's clothes to the plastic bag that was supposed to be delivered to the laundry. Levinski was left without any clothing, safe his boots and shoes. "Tails, that was the last cloth I have" he said.
"So?" the twin tailed replied, "You're a Mobian, Lev."
Although a Mobian, he still felt uncomfortable without clothes to cover him. Well, the boy was raised by humans in a Mobian-less world after all.
There was an awkward silence for a moment before they spoke again. "I have something to say to you." They said in unison.
"You first." Said Tails.
"No, you fir-... okay then. I'm sorry." Levinski spoke, "I had no idea that the fluid will kill her. I was too anxious to do it. And… I don't know what to do now. I still wanted to bring her back, but it's not that easy and I fear it is just going to make it worse than it already has."
"It's okay, I forgive you. And I'm sorry I punched you yesterday. I was… out of control. When I heard you cried, the first time I heard you actually cried, I realized what I had done… I…"
"Don't worry. You had all the right to beat me, and you still have it."
"But that doesn't change anything about you drinking 50 bottles of Vodka in a single night! If it was me, I would've died!"
"That was my intention… suicide."
"Coward…"
"Okay, okay. I'm sorry." Said Levinski finally, "I didn't know what to do. My brother hated me, and I had no one to talk with."
"What about Starlight?"
"Tried to call her, but I thought she already knew about my… action in your lab because she didn't respond. Normally she would immediately answer. I was afraid she hated me for what I did."
"No, don't worry. I didn't tell anyone besides Sonic anything."
Levinski paused for awhile, "…I was a fool, wasn't I, Tails?"
"Yes, but now you can make up your mistake because now I support you," but then Tails paused, "Scratch that. I demand you to redeem yourself now, by actually bringing her back instead of killing her."
"Then I'm gonna need your help."
"That's what I'm talkin' about. Let's get started!"
Both vulpines went down to Levinski's basement lab. The lights went on automatically as they entered the vast science lab. Tails had been in this lab before. It was rustier, darker as the walls are not painted and was still gray, and more scattered. The lab was not that fancy, with only some machines on several spots for experiments. The floors were made of white slabs, very simple. What divided it into several rooms were some thick walls with doors or curtains. The room was ceiling-less. There was one that was sealed and locked, called 'emergency containment evac chamber', used only if the experiments went haywire. The walls there were so thick that even a tank shell can destroy it. There was also a glass window, with same thickness. The vents were equipped with filters to prevent toxic gas coming inside. Also, there was the AC-like machine to purify the air suppose if the gas has breached through.
"Okay, to start. We're gonna need to analyze the Regeneration Liquid first" Said Levinski, "Since they never actually use it to grow plants, we might need to take some time to study it. You do know humanoids and animals have different cell structure than plant's, don't you?"
"Yes, the plants have plastids and cell walls. But as far as I can tell it's not like Cosmo can do a photosynthesi-"
"She's now a regular plant, isn't she? Where does she get the food and all?"
"Riiiight… So your guessing is the plastids?"
"Yes, unless it's her DNA that makes it incompatible. If that's so, we're not going to get this done on time."
"So, what should we do now?"
Levinski took a leaf from one of the plants he had on a glass case. "First we cause a reaction between the fluid and the chlorophyll." Levinski took a small needle and took small sample of the plant cells, "Tails, record the reactions."
Tails did as told as Levinski was working on the reaction. The fox use the nearest computer pad to scan the reactions. The result was recorded very thoroughly. As the scanning was complete. Levinski had a look on the recording.
"Indeed. The plastids make the fluid incompatible. See, it heals the broken cell walls, it heals the nucleus and all but when it comes across the plastids, all hell broke loose."
"So, how do we get the fluid compatible?"
"I do believe I have some list of chemicals that is used for Regeneration Liquid. If I can scan it and find the problem, we can alter it. Of course it's not like changing a program's code, but it's possible."
Tails sighed in relief. Now, that most of the problems between them are solved, they can finally find a way to actually cure Cosmo.
'Chaos, please make this works. Don't you worry Cosmo, we'll save you…' he said to himself in his mind.
A/N : And that's the end of a day of sorrow! The sun has starting to rise, I think.
REVIEW! PLEASE!
