Ch. 2 – Another Meeting

After a little more chasing, Tails finally lost the strange fox. The perplexed fox decided that wasn't much left to do, and pulled out his bag. After checking to see if the contents were okay, he put it away, and Tails started to walk home.

When he came to his street, he was intrigued by a shadow dashing around the corner of a two-story home. Again he twirled his twin tails and lifted off. After flying over the red roof and hovering for a bit over the back yard, Tails finally saw the shadow again. "I've found you, mysterious person. Now I'm gonna find out what you're-"

"Hi Tails!" a soft voice called

"GAH! Oh… H-Hi Cream!" the blushing fox said realizing how stupid he probably looked hovering over someone else's home.

"What are you doing?" the puzzled rabbit replied.

"Oh, I saw this…." Tails froze. "Where'd he go?" he spoke softly to himself.

"Where'd who go, Tails?" she asked.

"Uh…. N-Nobody," Tails returned as he made a mental note to smack himself later for forgetting that Cream was a rabbit. Truth was, he liked her. Like liked. "Gotta go Cream!"

"Bye Tails…" she sadly bid farewell to her friend.

"I GIVE UP!" Tails screamed at himself. He had been searching for the shadow for the past hour, getting nowhere. "Better go home… It's getting dark," the depressed fox sighed defeat. What if it had been a robber? A murderer? Eggman? Tails beat himself up in his head for losing him. "Everything will be fine..." he repeatedly told himself. "I'm overreacting!"

At Tails House

"Why is my… oh no! I forgot to lock my door! I hope it was the wind!" the fox freaked. He opened his door the rest of the way and walked inside. A noised plagued his ears from inside the house. Wait, is that, crying? The fox followed the noise and stumbled upon the same red fox from earlier, blood stains and all, crying at a picture. A picture of the entire Sonic gang at one of their reunions. Tears were all over the glass in the frame of the photo. Tails, being a good person, knelt down beside the weeping mammal who still didn't notice him.

"Wh-why c-can't I have f-friends …" the beaten red fox stuttered through tears at himself

"Have you tried looking?" Tails said placing a gloved hand on his bruised shoulder.

"Don't hurt me! PLEASE!" the startled red mammal screamed out and rolled in a ball and cowered.

"There there, I'm not going to hurt you!" Tails said still trying to help him.

"HOW DO I KNOW I CAN TRUST YOU!" he shrieked back.

"If I was planning on hurting you, would you rolling into a ball and trying to hide stop me?" Tails tried again.

The mysterious fox decided this was a good point and slowly rolled out of his ball, ready to snap back in at any sudden motion.

"So what's your name? I'm running out of things to call you!" Tails asked

("SO AM I!" the author agreed)

"Dynamo. Dynamo Heer.

*announcer guy voice*

Who is this Dynamo?

Will he start to think of Tails as a friend?

How will the others take it?

Will Knuckles get a kiss? (probably not)

Is Dynamo Heer a pun for food?

STAY TUNED AND FIND OUT!

*stop voice*

HUH? I PUT MYSELF IN THE STORY?
