Chapter Fourteen
Alive?
Everyone stared at Luke in complete confusion.
His words were rushing through their minds faster than a bullet. 'Tails is coming back to life' Luke had said.
Only a few seconds ago he had said those words and everyone got the shock of their lives.
'So, I'll see Tails again' Cream said.
'Yeah' Chloe answered. Cream smiled and hugged Vanilla.
'Wait wait wait wait wait. Wait! You know I want to see Tails again, but how can we be sure that you are telling the truth?' Sonic angrily said, ruining the moment.
'Sonic, three things. First, we have had this happen before and everything comes out alright' Luke said.
'Second, you don't know much, let alone everything, about us. Tails could walk through that door in a second, alive and well' Chloe said, following Luke's lead.
'And third, your only like this because you're angry at me for hurting you' Luke finished. 'But…' Sonic started.
'Listen Sonic, if you have another idea then you are welcome to do it. But if not, then sit down and shut up' Chloe interrupted. Everyone looked at Sonic, waiting for an answer.
Sonic sat next to Amy, grumbling. Luke and Chloe went to the other side of the room and talked in private.
Knuckles and Rouge looked at each other and nodded. They both got up and walked over to Luke and asked to tell them what has happened the last 48 hours. (A/N: Yes, except the first chapter, this whole story has been more or less over 48 hours.) They answered their questions in detail; Knuckles laughed about the part Sonic got beaten up.
It had been an hour since Luke had said those words before anything else happened. The hospital was quiet, or at least the seriously injured area, due to everyone being able to heal without Eggman coming and bringing those wounds back due to his trip in space.
A person would come through the door every now and again but nothing else.
Cream was in her mother's lap, sleeping with a smile on her face and Cheese between her arms, Sonic was still in the same spot with Amy, Knuckles and Rouge had sat down and talked about what Luke had told them and Luke and Chloe were still by the window, talking away from everyone else's hearing when it happened.
The main large doors flew open and in a fox fell to the ground, gaining everyone's attention and waking Cream.
Tails walked through the hallways in silence, not encountering anyone.
Tails finally came to the main doors but fell on his knees as a pain struck him in the head.
AAARRRGGGGHHH! Tails thought as the pain throbbed.
Don't worry Tails, the pain will pass in a minute or two Alexander replied. Let me take over until it passes.
What do you mean Alexander? Tails mentally asked.
I can take over your body every now and then, but I can't hold on to it for long.
I don't get it.
It is one of those things that are easier to understand practically than theoretically. That makes sense. Somewhat. What do I do?
Just blink your eyes and I'll do the rest. Tails blinked his eyes and felt different. He was now floating in darkness. What's going on? Tails asked.
Everything is okay Tails. It'll take some time to get used to it. Alexander replied. A small light appeared in darkness and came towards Tails. The light stopped in front of Tails and expanded, showing the hallway where he collapsed. Tails saw himself get up off the floor and stand, balancing himself. What the? Tails thought, confused by what he was seeing.
I'm in control of your body Tails. You're like a spectator when I'm in control. Alexander started stretching his arms and legs. Your body, it's strange but they all are at first.
Tails kept floating in the darkness, confused by what had happened. What do you mean?
Your body. It is just hard to adjust to. Tails was still partially confused, but decided to not press him. Alexander walked towards to doors, but fell through the door and onto the ground.
As Alexander fell through the door, he lost all feeling in his legs. 'Might have been better to get used to legs more' he thought. Alexander lifted his head and saw three creatures in front of him.
One was blue and had quills coming out the back of his head. The second was a pink version of the first on except it has two differences, they were wearing a dress and their quills were shorter. The last creature was like the first creature except it was red and the quills were longer.
'Tails!' exclaimed the blue creature. The other creatures said things, but Alexander drowned them out as he saw two people at the other side of the room.
All Alexander could do was smile, until he regained feeling in his legs. Alexander ran past the three creatures to the two people and threw his arms around them.
'Luke, Chloe! You're all right!' he said. Both of them threw their arms around him and exclaimed in unison
'Alexander, you're alive!' The three creatures just stared at the three humans.
'Tails, what's going on?' Sonic asked the fox. Sonic, Amy and Knuckles had run to the fox when he stumbled through the doors. They had asked him how he was and what happened, but he didn't answer, leaving them confused. But what confused them the most was that he ran past all three of them and ran to Luke and Chloe, two people he had only known for a few days.
Cream and Rouge ran over to Sonic, Amy and Knuckles.
'Hey, Tails!' Knuckles yelled. Tails turned around and looked at them.
'What's wrong with you?' Sonic said as he walked towards Tails. Sonic stopped a few paces away from Tails, realizing that something was wrong.
'Who are you?' Sonic said, jumping back and surprising everyone.
'What are you talking about?' Rouge asked Sonic. 'That's Tails!' Cream said.
'No, that's not Tails! Tails eyes are blue, his are orange!' Sonic yelled. Amy, Knuckles, Cream, Cheese, Rouge and Vanilla looked at Sonic, then Tails' eyes and back to Sonic.
'He he he' the fox started chuckling. Luke, Chloe and Tails all started laughing like crazy. 'Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!'
'What's so funny?' Amy asked. 'This is the first time anyone has noticed the difference' Tails said, through his laughs.
'What difference?' Knuckles asked. Luke, Chloe and Tails stopped laughing.
'Oh, I'm sorry. You must want to talk to Tails' the fox said. 'Well, yeah if foxy is there' Rouge said. 'Since you noticed the eyes, then watch carefully' Tails said.
Everyone focused hard on the fox's eyes causing Luke and Chloe to chuckle. Everyone saw the eyes and knew they were orange. But what had surprised them the most was the eyes turning from orange to blue as he blinked.
Tails watched as everyone talked. He saw their puzzled, confused faces and the laughs of Luke, Chloe and Alexander. He wanted to be there to be with his friends, getting his wish after one brief mental message.
'Hey Tails, heads up' it said, surprising Tails. One second, he was overlooking everyone. The next he was looking directly at Sonic.
Sonic, Amy, Knuckles, Rouge, Cream, Cheese and Vanilla jumped back at surprise. 'Sonic!' Tails said in delight, running up and hugging him.
Once again, everyone jumped back, except Sonic who was stuck.
'Tails?' Sonic asked. Tails let go of Sonic. 'Who else?' Tails asked.
Sonic couldn't stop grinning. 'Tails!' Sonic cheered, hugging Tails.
Amy and Cream hugged Sonic and Tails, Knuckles ran up and rubbed Tails on the head and Rouge, Vanilla and Cheese stayed back. Luke and Chloe watched as everyone started laughing and talking about what happened.
They decided to go and join them, but were stopped as they felt a cold, familiar shadow descend on the room.
Sorry if it's not long enough but a lot of things have been happening and I need to keep going with the story so I'll update it later. Once again, sorry.
