Chapter Six: Tails and Cream Get Prepared

Tails was with Cream. They were both nearly home while flying in the Tornado, until Tails' phone vibrated.

"Oh, one moment, Cream. Phone is vibrating." Tails told her.

"OK, Tails." Cream replied.

Tails while being careful while he's flying, took out his phone to read the text. He saw that it was from Amy.

"Why is Amy texting me at this time? It's 12:30am." Tails wondered.

Cream also wondered that.

"Well, what does the message say?" Cream asked.

Tails was reading the message, but as soon as he finished reading it, he gasped in horror.

"Oh my God!" Tails said.

"What's wrong, Tails? What's going on?" Cream asked.

"Amy just sent me a text about Sonic. Scourge came and attacked him, and fired a laser of some kind at Sonic. And whatever it was, it's changed Sonic's characteristics, and he harmed Amy!" Tails told her.

Cream gasped in shock.

"Sonic hurt Amy?! Tails, we need to find Amy, and make sure she's OK!" Cream pleaded.

"Well, I'll go and help her, but I think you need to go home and rest. It'll be too dangerous for you." Tails told her.

"Not a chance in hell, Tails! Amy is my friend too, and I won't be able to sleep tonight, because I'll be too worried about Amy!" Cream sternly replied.

"You don't understand, Cream. If this is too dangerous, I can't allow you to get hurt, whatever this is that'll attack us." Tails explained.

"But you'll die too, Tails. That would destroy me if you died in this battle, Tails." Cream told him.

"Well, I just care about you. I can't take the risk of you being hurt. Now I don't even know if I'm the man for you any more. My life with Sonic puts so much danger in our lives." Tails stated, as sad tears fell from his eyes.

"Tails..." Cream sobbed.

.

(Tails singing)

Leaves lay on the ground

Fall's now come

Blue sky has turned grey

Like my love

.

I've tried to carry you

To make you whole

But that was never enough

I must go

.

Tails then held Cream's hand lovingly. He looked and stared into Cream's eyes with tears in his eyes.

.

(Tails singing)

But who is going to save you

When I'm gone?

And who shall watch over you

When I'm gone?

.

Hmmm mmm.

.

"Tails, please listen to me." Cream asked him.

Tails then looked into Cream's eyes. He was curious to know what it was that Cream was about to tell him.

"OK, Cream. What is it that you want to tell me?" Tails asked.

.

(Cream singing)

You say you care about me

Yet you hide it well

How could you love someone

But not yourself?

.

Tails smiles.

"You make a good point." Tails stated.

Cream just smiles back at him. She wiped the tears away from his eyes.

.

(Tails and Cream singing)

But who is going to save you

When I'm gone?

And who shall watch over you

When I'm gone?

.

Cream's eyes were also flooded with tears, and Tails wiped the years from her eyes with his thumb. Cream just smiles warmly at him.

.

(Tails and Cream singing)

And let's say I'm gone

Who shall break your fall?

Who would you blame?

.

I refuse to go on

And have us lose it all

It's more than I could take

Who'll ease the pain?

.

Tails stares into the sky, wondering what he should do now. He knew there was going to be a risk in both directions.

.

(Tails singing)

Ease the pain

Oh, oh oh oh

.

"So please, let me come and help Amy, Tails. She'll need to be with close friends in this situation." Cream pleaded.

Tails thought long and hard about this decision. After a few seconds of thinking, he then nodded his head in agreement, and turned the Tornado around to face the direction where Amy possibly is. Cream smiled.

"Thank you, Tails." Cream thanked.

"You're welcome. But here's a new deal while at it. Now, if anything dangerous happens, if it involves Sonic, Scourge, or Eggman, or whoever else, grab Amy, and get away as far as you can. You understand?" Tails told her.

"I will. I promise." Cream replied.

"OK, let's go and find Amy. I have no idea where she is, but we'll look around any possible place. Or I'll text her right now, and find out where she is." Tails explained.

He took out his phone, and began to send a text.

Amy, it's Tails. I'm coming to help you now, and I have Cream with me. But I need to know where you are ASAP. Also, send your location to others who you believe is essential for this mission.

Thank you

- Tails

Now Tails and Cream patiently wait until a message was sent. Tails and Cream hold each other's hand.

"I love you, Miles." Cream told him while smiling. Tails smiles back.

"I love you too, Cream." Tails replied.

.

(Tails and Cream singing, Cream improvising)

(I'm wondering if I can)

Who will ever save you when I'm gone?

(I wonder if you'll save me?)

Who shall watch over you?

(I'm wondering if I can)

Who would give you strength if you're not strong?

Who will watch over you if I've gone away?

.

(Tails singing)

Snow falls to the ground

Winter has come

You shall still hear my voice

If I'm not gone

.

After that, Tails and Cream leaned their heads close to one another, and then their lips made contact for a loving passionate kiss. The kiss lasted until Tails heard his phone vibrate. He opened it to read the message.

Thank you, Tails. I'm at the cliff side below Angel Island. I've also messaged Shadow and Knuckles about this too. They should be here too, if they got my message that is.

- Amy

"Right, cliff side below Angel Island we go!" Tails announced.

Cream nodded in determination. After that, they flew towards Angel Island.
