A new day had come and the clouds from last night's storm had subsided. The bright, warm sun shone on Station Square, some fields, Mystic Ruins, and other places that have yet to be discovered. A silver plane soared in the sky above the Sunset Hills. The pilot in the cockpit was a two-tailed yellow fox around the age of eight.

This was none other than the child prodigy genius kitsune, Miles Prower (a.k.a. Tails).

The warm wind blew against his face as he flew the plane. A flock of birds flew underneath it at some good distance to avoid collision with the said plane. Tails smiled the whole time. So far, things had gone smooth for him… maybe.

Before getting in the plane the day before, Tails had heard a voice…

Flashback: Yesterday at Tails' workshop…

Tails had gotten up early and had taken a stroll around the Mystic Ruins an hour ago. After that, he came back with a purple Chaos Emerald in his hands; he was smiling brightly. He ran into the workshop and uncovered a silver plane that resembled the Tornado, his old plane, then began to work on it. As he put in the finishing touches, Tails inserted the Chaos Emerald in the power supply.

He wiped off the sweat that clung to his forehead with a red cloth and examined his piece of work. "That should do it! Now to give it a test run." he said to himself. The proud fox hopped in the cockpit and pressed a button on it, opening the runway and the garage door.

The plane then started up, having difficulty at first, but then it whirred and clicked like it normally should. It moved forward, then ran down the runway before soaring into the sky. Tails was about to congratulate his success on the take-off when…

"YOU BASTARD UCHIHA!!!!!"

Tails' eyes widened. He looked around once he had the plane on autopilot, but saw nothing.

"That was… odd." He said as he regained control of the plane.

End flashback.

Thinking back on it now, Tails couldn't help but wonder what that voice was. It came out of nowhere! "Hmm. Who's voice was that?" he asked himself. Just then, a flash of bright white light suddenly flashed, blinding the young kitsune. The air around the plane shook possibly from an earthquake that's affecting the airwaves. He shielded his eyes with one hand and tried to keep the plane steady with the other.

The quake worsened and the light became brighter, making it hard for Tails to stay in midair. After much difficulty with the plane, the quakes slowly subsided and the light started to fade away.

Tails put his hand down and blinked a few times. "That was unusual. I heard that there was an earthquake yesterday in Station Square, but now it's around this area, too?" he questioned himself. It was very hard to figure out.

First it was the mysterious voice from yesterday, now it was the sudden earthquake and bright light that perplexed him.

His ears then perked up. There was a scream… coming from above! Tails quickly looked up and saw what appeared to be a black dot at first. However, as it got closer, a male figure was what Tails saw. Tails moved the plane out of the way of the falling person.

Once he passed by the plane, Tails caught a quick glimpse of him. His eyes widened, for what he saw falling was a reddish orange fox with spiky blonde hair, wearing a strange looking headband with some sort of leaf design on it around his forehead, an orange jumpsuit, and a pair of sandals. What caught the kitsune's attention was that this particular fox…… had nine tails instead of two like his or one like a normal one's.

He had to take action! Tails accelerated downwards where the fox was falling, then once the plane was at the same level as the fox, he turned his head to face him and called out, "Grab on!!"

The blonde haired fox turned to Tails, looking heavily panicked and terrified as he waved his arms up and down wildly as if he had wings and was trying to fly. Unfortunately, it was obviously not working.

"GRAB ONTO WHAT?!?!?!" the fox called back in a frightened voice. Tails gestured his thumb toward the plane's right wing.

"Grab the wing!! Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!!" Tails called. The fox looked nervous as he stared at the wing. Then without hesitation, he inhaled deeply and leaned back toward the wing. He reached out toward it once he was in range and clung to the edge of the wing. The fox pulled his whole body on top of the wing, pressing down on it to avoid flying off.

Tails looked satisfyingly at the fox, then slowed down the acceleration and pulled back up into its normal flying pattern. As soon as he was back on course, Tails looked over at the wing, seeing the orange-red fox panting rapidly and heavily, tying to overcome the recent panic attack he had. "You okay?" asked Tails.

The fox slowly calmed down, then looked over at Tails, nodding his head.

"Th-Thanks…" he replied. "I thought I was-" He was cut off from his sentence as he stared at the cold metallic surface of the wing, staring at his foxy reflection. After making several weird faces at the reflection, he yelled at the top of his lungs!

Tails cringed, his ears flatted against his head when the fox suddenly yelled. "Why are you yelling??" he asked loudly.

"WHAT THE F-CK IS THIS???!! WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?!" came the nine-tailed kitsune's reply.

Before Tails could ask anything else, there was a sputtering sound coming from the engine. Tails looked over at the engine, seeing smoke emanate from it. He checked the fuel gauge. It wasn't running out of gas. But the engine was breaking down!

"WHAT'S ALL THAT NOISE?!?!" asked the orange-red fox. Sweat was rapidly running down Tails' body as he uttered the bad news.

"The engine's going down!" he said worriedly. The plane then started to lose altitude and spun out of control. Both foxes screamed as the plane started to crash.

Tails was repeating 'Mayday!' over and over while the other fox just screamed bloody murder. Eventually, the plane crashed along the coast of Emerald Beach, sending Tails flying out of the cockpit and the blonde fox off the wing. The fox landed near the nose and went head first into the sand, getting his head stuck in it.

Meanwhile, Tails was out cold and unmoving; luckily he was still breathing. A blue streak zoomed towards the plane crash site.

Sonic had seen the plane with Tails in it a while ago, then witnessed the crash and immediately headed towards it. He gasped at what he saw and rushed over to Tails first. He gently shook Tails, seeing if there would be any reaction from his little buddy.

A soft moan came out of the two-tailed fox's mouth, relieving a little bit of worry from the blue hedgie. Tails' eyes fluttered open and he slowly got up, wincing a little.

"Are you okay Tails?" Sonic asked. Tails slowly turned to see Sonic, his eyes widening. He rubbed his eyes to see if he was dreaming for he hadn't seen Sonic in a long time, but when it was confirmed that he wasn't, he smiled widely and wrapped his arms around his best friend.

After that, he pulled away and said, "Long time no see, Sonic!" Sonic chuckled and playfully ruffled the top of Tails' head. Tails laughed at this for a while, then remembered something. He turned to see no one on the wing, but he did see someone with his head in the sand, struggling to pull it out.

Sonic glanced at the nine-tailed figure, raising an eyebrow. "Friend of yours?" he asked.

Tails shook his head. "I just met him." Tails walked over to the poor fox with Sonic following behind. They both grabbed him and helped to pull him out. As they did so, they began the recent topic.

"So, if you just met him… where did he come from?" asked Sonic.

Tails shrugged. "I don't know. He just appeared all of a sudden after a flash of light… and an earthquake!"

"Wait a minute! Did you… say an earthquake?"

Tails nodded. After all that tugging, they managed to pull the fox out of the sand and were now sitting in it.

The red-orange fox was spitting some of the sand that got into his mouth out when Sonic and Tails continued their conversation.

"That's strange." said Sonic. "That happened last night in Station Square!"

"I know, Sonic. I heard about that." said Tails. "Did someone appear that night? After the light and earthquake?"

Sonic nodded. "Yeah. A light pink female cat appeared. She acted weird, though, plus she had a high forehead."

This caught the other fox's attention for he immediately spun around wide-eyed and asked, "Did you say a 'high forehead'?"

Sonic looked surprised by the fox's reaction and slowly nodded. The red-orange fox thought back on this. 'A light pink cat with a high forehead? So it's not just me that's changed in appearance?' he thought.

Sonic and Tails both looked confused. "Do you… know her?" asked Sonic.

"Of course I do!" said the fox. "That's Sakura-chan!"

"Sakura… chan?" questioned Sonic.

Tails leaned close to the cobalt hedgehog's ear, whispering, "He must be a foreigner." The two-tailed kitsune then looked over at the nine-tailed fox and said, "How do you know this cat girl? I've never met her… well not yet anyway, but still how-"

"She's my teammate!" said the fox, standing up on his feet. He stomped over to Sonic and grabbed his shoulders with narrowed eyes. "Where is she now??? Is she okay?? Sakura-chan isn't hurt, is she??" It was obvious by the tone of his voice that he was worried about this cat girl.

Sonic blinked. "Uuuumm… she's fine, but… how can you be sure that she knows you?" he asked.

"HOW CAN SHE NOT KNOW ME?!" exclaimed the fox. "We're teammates! You ask her, she'll know who I am!"

Sonic then pried the fox off his shoulders, saying, "And who may I ask are you?"

The red-orange fox was starting to get impatient with this. "My name is Naruto! Naruto Uzumaki!"

Surprised??

I know I am! ... Wait a minute... I'm the writer! Why am I surprised?? XD
