Dang it. I think I added too much "fun stuff" to the original draft of the chapter - it was 3.5k words, and after editing, it went to 1.5 words. I'll upload the M-rated version as a separate fic, titled "New Bloom Untold", which will also include several other Taismo lemons as well.

"You know…I was just…Thinking… Maybe we could build our new home here later on? This island is such a nice place – it's nice, sunny and there's not a soul for miles around save for the local wildlife."

"Cosmo, you know all too well that we won't be able to stay here forever – I've still got work to do out in the city, and as much as I'd like to stay away from it, it's a fairly straightforward matter of cruel reality."

"Well…Can't we at least build a vacation house here? So that we may still come over here every now and then…But for more than just a single afternoon every few weeks?"

"I'll consider it, my dear…"

"I'll consider it…"

Tails' thoughts were mostly focused on the current destination of his flight. The short little dialog that he remembered right now was what he and Cosmo talked about during one of the times they were out on a particularly scenic island – the place was a perfect vacation spot, being quiet and usually having good weather. The only problem was that the place was completely isolated from any civilization, so electricity, phone communications and indoor plumbing would be out of question…Except that Tails could still fix the first and the third problem no thanks to some tinkering around, and the second hadn't troubled him all that much…

Just him and Cosmo, all alone on a small island paradise…

"Tails, are you alright?" – Cosmo's voice had snapped the kitsune out of his thoughts. Tails shook his head and asked back: "Why are you asking?"

"You still haven't told me what the place is." – The seedrian was getting a little impatient, and the flight sickness, even despite the fact that Tails' plane moved at a reasonable speed, was still bothering her somewhat.

Just now, Tails realized that in his daze, he almost forgot that the very place he wanted to bring Cosmo to was just a few yards away from where they currently were. Had he been dazing out a bit more, he certainly would have overshot it. Soon enough, the kitsune went in for a landing, and, after he helped Cosmo get out of the plane, asked: "Remember this place?"

The seedrian looked around – it was certainly the very same island where Tails would take her out on dates every few weeks. However, something was off…Just a little bit.

"This…This is the island where we would usually go out for a date, is it?" – Cosmo asked, smiling.

"Exactly. And, as you might have noticed, there is a little something extra here as well."

Now Cosmo realized just what was off – there certainly wasn't a small house standing on the seashore. The house was fairly simplistic, just one story tall. However, not too far away from the house's main entrance, there was a small wooden pier.

"We used to watch the sunset from this spot a whole lot. So, how about we get into the house and you have a look around?" – Tails asked, leaning on to Cosmo's shoulder a bit. The plantgirl responded with: "Sure thing. I'm sure the house is just as nice on the inside as it is on the outside."

Tails was by no means a furniture designer, really, but it didn't matter all that much – the vacation house had all the necessities, and that's what mattered to the two. After looking around the house for a bit, the two brought their numerous cases over to the house proper and began to unpack. The particularly large case, which they were unpacking in their shared bedroom, turned out to have contained a whole lot of different outfits for Cosmo. Aside from her spare lingerie, a spare dress and her light green swimsuit, there were also some…Interesting articles of clothing, like a stereotypical French maid uniform, or an apron that had "Only meant to be worn naked" written on it. The moment Cosmo noticed the latter, she turned to Tails with a rather questioning look. The fox blushed and remarked: "Yes, well… There are some things I just wanted to try out during our honeymoon. The least I say about them , the better."

"As long as it's nothing too humiliating or disgusting, it's fine with me." – The plantgirl replied, smiling. Her foxy husband , still a little nervous, replied: "Hey, I wouldn't ever make you do anything too bad. Umm…Just one little thing I'd like to suggest right now, though."

As Cosmo turned to Tails with a questioning look, the kitsune replied: "I want you to get your swimsuit on. I figured that a stroll around the beach would be a good way to pass time before the night."

The plantgirl blushed a deep red and replied: "Okay…If that's what you want, I guess."

With that said, Cosmo slowly took her clothes off, still blushing because of the fact that she was undressing right in front of Tails. Sure, the two already had nothing to hide from each other, and what Tails could see was nothing he hasn't already, but even then, Cosmo still felt rather embarrassed about the whole prospect.

"Come on now, Cosmo. You two were together for six years, not to mention he's officially your husband. You're not breaking any seedrian laws whatsoever." – As this thought ran through the seedrian's head, she noticed that she had already stripped down to her underwear. Still blushing, she asked: "Umm…Would you like to…You know…Watch?"

All the response Tails gave her was a rather unsure nod.

(A little scene was edited out of here, which will only be in the M-rated version)

"Well…You seem to be enjoying the view quite a bit." – The plantgirl remarked, still blushing intensely as she reached for her swimsuit that was lying a little off to the side. Somehow, when she put the swimsuit on, it had Tails relieved for a moment – if anything, the blood pressure was giving him some trouble thinking straight.

"So…" – Cosmo asked, looking at Tails after putting her swimsuit on. – "Off we go?"

"Let me get my swimming trunks on, and then we're off." – And with that said, the fox reached for the case where he had packed his clothes, and took out his usual red swimming trunks. After getting them on, he replied: "Okay, let's go now."

The walk around the beach was certainly quite relaxing, and helped both Tails and Cosmo alleviate some of their nervousness.

"I guess all the nervousness is coming from our complete lack of experience per se. I mean, all we have is just theoretic knowledge, with nothing in terms of practice." – Tails remarked, sitting down at the edge of the pier next to his seedrian wife.

"I've also heard that the first time may be a little painful for the female. You promise you'll be gentle?" – The plantgirl asked, leaning a bit closer. The kitsune smiled and responded: "Of course I will, honey. I would never purposefully hurt you."

While the two were busy talking, the sun was already setting. Tails was the first one to get up, taking his wife's hand and helping her stand up as well, then going as far as to outright carry her in his hands all the way to the bedroom.

"Tails, that's not exactly necessary, you know." – Cosmo remarked, trying not to giggle.

"I just want you to have fond memories of this particular evening. It's small details like those that matter. " – The kitsune replied.

The seedrian sighed at this, but didn't say anything else, letting her husband carry her all the way to their bedroom. As Tails placed her on their bed, she replied: "Maybe you'll help me out of this swimsuit while you're at it?"

"So now you're getting into the mood." – The kitsune stated in a tone that made it sound like a rhetorical question. – "Here we go, then."

(Naturally, the "fun" part is exclusive to the M-rated version.)

The two hardly kept track of time, but when their pleasure began to subside, Cosmo was the first to speak up.

"I've never imagined it would be that great of an experience…" – The seedrian said, recovering her breath as she spoke.

"I've usually heard that the first time isn't supposed to be too enjoyable." – Tails said, letting go of his wife and lying down next to her.

"Maybe you've just heard it from the wrong person. While I do know that it can only get better as we both get more experienced… I don't really think it can get any better." – Cosmo remarked, pulling the blanket over her and Tails' bodies – the wind blowing through the open bedroom window hardly even ceased even now, making Cosmo question how she didn't notice the wind during the process itself.

"We'll see about that – we have a whole honeymoon ahead of us after all. Goodnight, Cosmo." – Tails said, reaching to switch the desk lamp off.

"Goodnight, Tails. I love you." – Cosmo repied, nuzzling closer to her foxy fiancé. Surely, the two had a love-filled month ahead of themselves… Hopefully, the end of that month won't present them with any surprises…

Welp...Sorry for castrating (no pun intended) this chapter for the sake of keeping the T-rating. Just goes to show how all of the chapter's substance was entirely in the lemon part alone.
