Tails POV

The pain ceased to exist. My body felt numb all over. Had it worked? Suddenly I felt a pang of fear. 'Would we share the same body? I thought I would be dead. This seems so much worse.' These thoughts continued to run through my head til I thought to try moving. I was surprised. I was weak but I was still in control. That's when my sense of hearing returned and I could hear the scuffle going on around me.

Sonic was supersonic in mid combat with robotails. It looked like the cord attached to the things head had been snapped. I tried to get free but I was still trapped. I groaned out in frustration. I guess Ill just let sonic play hero. My thoughts shifted to bigger questions. "How had sonic gotten free?" I found myself overcome with grief when I remembered what he had done. I yelled out to him, "Sonic stop!" He was in mid stride and my outburst made him almost trip on his face. He looked to where I was. I put on a stone expression. "Sonic I saw you with Amy, I don't know what your doing here but you may as well just let him take me. I can't deal with the pain of losing you so I'd probably just end up killing myself anyways." The look on his face was of pure horror. He looked at the robotails before he growled, "what have you done to him?!" And once again launched himself forward with renewed energy. I couldnt understand why he still cared. I began crying, "Why can't you just let me go?" Sonic dodged a powerful looking blow from robotails, grabbed the robot by the leg mid air, and slammed him to the ground. "Tails! Dammit I dont want Amy I want you! She tricked me!" The blow had hit the switch to open my cuffs. I was free. This got my attention but I was still unsure if this was some sort of trick. I was not about to let sonic weasel his way out of this one. "Then why did you look so guilty when he caught you? Why were you so weak?" Sonic heard but took a few blows to the face before he tripped onto his back. The robot tails immediately pushed the attack and jumped on his vulnerable form. "Tails she drugged me! I love only you!" He was wrestling to stop the robot from getting a good grip on his neck. "How do I know your not lying?!" I yelled back. He turned his head while struggling and gave me the saddest look I have ever recieved from him.

It was like a switch. I realized his sincerity and I was instantly filled with energy. It all made sense to me. I could finally believe him. I felt bad for ever doubting him. It was true what they said, Sonic and I were soulmates to the end. It just felt like a weight had been lifted off my chest. "Everything will be all right as long as I have my Sonic." I whispered. That's when I realized sonic was still in trouble. I quickly got up and began to work on code on the computer next to me.

"Tails!" I heard him scream out, "hurry!" I turned to look. The robot me had realized what was happening and was trying to get free of sonic so he could stop me. Sonic managed to hold him back just long enough that when he finally got free, robotails reached out to grab my hand only to fall flat on his face without power. I turned to look at Sonic. We both let out a sigh at the same time, and then laughed. I ran up to him and he pulled me close into a hug. He looked me straight in the eyes seeming to searcg for something recognizable. He seemed to find it before saying, "Never leave me again tails." I buried my face in his chest and let myself cry. We sat like that for a long time.

Eventually without a word we both got up. As we walked out of the secret lab to the main lab, I walked over to the breaker box/power grid and flipped the switch down. All the power to the house was cut off. "Want to go outside?" I asked. He stopped and stared til our eyes met. "Tails what was that? I think I deserve an explanation for what's been going on." I let out a sigh of defeat before I began explaining. "I originally felt bad that you were scared to lose me in battle. So, I came up with this idea that if I could make a robot version of myself, I could still help you while safely running the command center here. I know it was a stupid idea to keep it secret but I honestly never thought something like this would happen." Sonic shushed me. "I've heard enough. I realized earlier Tails that it doesn't matter. I would rather you were always at my side so I can enjoy every moment we have. Were stronger together, and besides, no one lives forever. Why waste our short time together in fear?" I hugged him as I smiled up at him. "Its about time you came around! I love you sonic." He wrapped his arms around me once more and leaned down to take me into a passionate kiss.

We went outside and I had my first breath of fresh air in the last 30 hours. It felt great to be free of the lab. I was looking around entranced by the sight when I noticed sonic was staring at me. I turned to him and our eyes met, Emerald watched sapphire. He smiled a big goofy grin at this.

"What?" I asked. "Now that were outside would you mind helping me to do a little cave exploration." Said sonic winking. I was confused at first. "But Sonic wouldn't you rather we go to the meadow? That's when I realized his insinuation. I smiled deviously "Oh nevermind I think I can deal with that." As I leaned in and we kissed again he lifted me off the ground. Still in a passionate embrace he began to sprint towards our secret meadow. There, we would be completely isolated from the world, and surrounded by beautiful flowers. It was my favorite place on mobius.

With his even tempo strides, I soon found myself giving up on all other thoughts in anticipation of what was quickly approaching. I could clean the lab and fix my things later. Right now there were more important things to take care of.
