Chapter 13: The rescue part 1
"DAMMIT!" shouted an enraged blue hedgehog, pounding his fist on a table.
"Sonic, calm down! *sniff* I-I'm just as upset as you are, but, shouting and punching a table isn't going to fix any of this!" a depressed young boy stated.
Sonic and Tails were sitting at a table outside a restaurant having a conversation while waiting for their meal to come. Things weren't going great for them that morning. They were moping from their event that took place last night. Ever since they had awoken from their little fall about, they were extremely upset. The duo failed to rescue Tails' twin sister, Kayla Prower, from being kidnapped by Dr. Eggman, and now they failed to rescue her from actually being taken prisoner by the evil scientist into his base! Right now, Sonic seemed to be extremely furious, Tails, on the other hand, was far from furious, he was depressed. Depressed, because he failed to save his little sister twice, and who knows what kind of hell she could be going through right now. Finally, what seemed like hours, but, in reality, only ten minutes, their waitress showed. She passed down a plate of three chili dogs and some tater tots, along with a glass of strawberry lemonade to Sonic. Tails was given a plate of blueberry pancakes and some hash-brown, along with a glass of milk. She brought out her note pad.
"Will that be all you two are having today?" she questioned.
"Yes, that's it, thank you." Tails answered with a sad tone.
The waitress realized the tone of Tails' voice and couldn't help but look at Tails with a curious look.
"Um, excuse me for asking, but, is everything okay?" she questioned, a bit worried. Tails simply nodded with a fake smile on his face.
"Yeah," he started, "just a little tired is all." This seemed to be enough to work on the waitress, because, she nodded in understanding.
"Okay, I understand. Seeya around!" she said as she ran in the restaurant, someone was calling her name.
Sonic turned his attention to Tails who was now taking a bite out of his pancakes.
"Well, she seemed nice, unlike the other waiters and waitresses I've seen in this place." he blurted out. Tails turned his attention from his food to the hedgehog.
"Well, yeah, she is a lot younger than everyone else. She looks around your age, to be honest." he confessed, after taking a sip of his milk.
"Think she might go to our school?" Sonic questioned. Tails shook his head in disbelief.
"Sonic, that doesn't matter now! What matters is figuring out a way to save my sister!" he snapped.
After hearing this, Sonic's face turned into a scowl. He growled in anger.
"You're right about that one! Lets hurry up and eat and get outta here!" he demanded.
Tails nodded in agreement and the two ate in silence.
Amy Rose was walking down the streets of the city. She was determined to get out of her house today even if her long year crush was gone. Right now, she was skimming through the stores she passed while caught in deep thought.
'Oh, what am I suppose to do now? Sonic's *sniff* dead. I don't know where the heck Tails is. Knuckles and Tikal are studying. Rouge is at a family reunion. Shadow, well, only god knows what he's doing. Cream's with her mom having a mother and daughter day, and everyone else is just plain out busy! *sigh* Might as well, head to Ihop and -" but she didn't get a chance to finish once she heard a familiar laugh. 'Huh, I know that laugh from anywhere, its...TAILS!'
Hearing the laugh once more, Amy whipped her head straight forward, cutting her thoughts short. She cupped a hand to her ear to make sure that was the laugh of her two fake tailed friend, and soon enough it was.
"That's Tails alright, but where the heck has he been!? We haven't seen him for two days in a row, and that's unusual for him, unless he gives us a heads up!" she asked no one in particular. "I've got to check this out!"
And with that, the pink haired preteen took off running down the street, hoping to see her yellowed haired friend again.
Both Sonic and Tails were just about done with their meal. Well, Sonic was finishing up his tater-tots while Tails was wiping his face with a napkin. Afterwards, Tails placed the napkin on his empty plate and leaned his head on the table, sighing a bit. The blue hedgehog took notice of his friend's actions and knew what was up, he then spoke.
"Hey, Tails? I know you miss your sister and last night was a good example about it too. But, hey, no sweat, we'll get her back in no time!" he encouraged.
Tails picked his head up, and looked at Sonic with a small smile.
"You really think so?" he questioned. This in turn, caused Sonic to grin even wider, and with a thumbs up he responded.
"Heh, you bet we will. And with my speed, tight moves, and your crazy smart brainpower, this should be a cinch. Hell, if you and I had a HQ test to see whose smarter, you would beat me in a heartbeat!" he reassured. This surely did lighten up Tails' spirits, making him smile with confidence, and it even made him laugh.
"Thanks Sonic, I can always count on you!" he thank.
"Heh, no problem. Now lets get outta here and go kick Eggman's fat ass!" he encouraged.
"Yeah!" Tails yelled in agreement.
Suddenly though, they were both hit in the head by an object, causing them to both yelp in pain and surprise. Afterwards, Tails opened his eyes and glanced down only to see a brown smelly boot in front of them. One sniff made Sonic scrunch up his nose and cover it up quickly with a gloved hand. Tails in a similar state, fanned the air.
"Ow, what the hell? Where did that come from, and oh god it stinks! It smells like someone just died!" Sonic cried. Tails looked in each direction until he laid eyes upwards.
"There!" he exclaimed as he pointed upwards. Sonic followed his gaze until it stopped. There, up in an apartment across the street with a window opened was an old lady who looked like she was extremely pissed.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU'RE RUINING MY BEAUTY SLEEP, GODDAMMIT!' she screamed. It was Tails' turn to speak.
"Er, sorry mam, it won't happen again, carry on with your nap." he assured. The old lady shot one last death glare before she slammed her window shut.
Once that was settled, Tails noticed Sonic with his hands on his hips.
"Damn, that lady got anger issues. Beauty sleep? Ha, more like a Halloween make over. Did you see how her hair was everywhere?" he remarked.
"Sonic..." Tails scolded. Sonic, in turn, just smiled a cheeky grin.
"What? I couldn't help it." he confessed.
"*sigh* Lets just get out of here. I'm eager to save Kayla, ya know." Tails ordered.
"Right, lets-" but the hedgehog was interrupted by a familiar voice that he hasn't heard in ages.
"TAILS! THERE YOU ARE!" the voice exclaimed.
Sonic watched as Amy pushed by him, not noticing him and quickly hugged Tails. Both hedgehog, and boy were surprised to see their familiar pink haired friend here, especially hugging Tails. Finally, Tails gave the courage to speak.
"Amy, what are you doing here?" he questioned. Amy opened her eyes and smiled.
"Well, duh, to see you, of course. You didn't leave any messages or anything to let us know where you've been. Everyone, including me, has been wondering where you've been, silly." she answered.
"Well, I've been hanging out with-" but the boy immediately cut himself off not to blow Sonic's cover. Amy rose her brow in a confused matter.
"With who? Who have you been hanging out with?" She questioned. She noticed Tails quickly glancing behind her with nervous eyes and back to the ground. But, she didn't get it, why would Tails look behind her instead of in front of her? It didn't make any sense. Finally, deciding to take a good look behind her, she turned around, but instantly gasped when she noticed something behind her. There, standing was a familiar blue hedgehog that we all knew, Sonic.
'Oh crap.' he thought once Amy noticed him...
Aw snap, Amy's there and she sees Sonic! And if only Sonic was right about Kayla being okay. What will happen next and will Kayla really be okay or will Eggman have something in store for the two? Find out next time! Please R & R!
