Tloj: Ugh, the word fonts are freaking bugging me. They're not working right. Oh well, managed to work around it for now.

Cinder looks up, "Incoming."

"Wow. That was fast." I whistle.

A ship flew in and landed. The hatch opens, and Dark Egg Legion soldiers pour out, securing the area around the shuttle. A violet echidna with a huge orange cannon on his right arm strides out, looking around. Behind him, a bright yellow echidna with a laptop and headset meekly steps out.

Smoke chuckles, and vanishes with Reaper's Wind. He appears right behind her with a low whistle. "I was right, you are a cutie."

She squeaks in surprise, whirling and ducking as the purple echidna blows a gaping hole into Smoke and sending him flying.

I stare in horror as he flops to the ground limply. One of the legionnaires pulls back the hood... and after a minute holds up a crash dummy dressed like Smoke.

"Gotta be quicker than that Chief," Smoke says from on top of the ship, and laughs. "And I come to greet you dude. Spike, bring him over!"

Spike cuts the rope holding up the prisoner, and as he gasps for breath he drags him over to them.

He stares at the soldier. "Is that supposed to instill fear into me or something?" He asks, unimpressed.

"Nope, just showing off a little." Smoke drops down to him, and winks at the girl before getting serious again. "I take it you're Galvix?"

"I am. And you must be Smoke." He states.

"How do you know it's not him?" He jerks a thumb at Spike who just rolls his eyes.

"Yeah I'm Smoke, and from the way things are looking for your group, I'd say things are looking pretty down for your troops."

"Depends on who you ask." He shrugs, running his hand on his cannon.

"I'm asking the guy who's lost each, and every one of them... minus one, but he's on the way."

"You mean that one?" He blows up the soldier with no second thoughts. "June, get back on the ship." He states.

The girl nods quickly, moving back inside.

"Aw..." Smoke watches her go sadly. "Poor thing... too bad she was sent on a suicide mission with the rest of you."

"She is not to be part of the action." He waves his hand dismissively. "What is it you want?"

"I want in on the action," Smoke says with a smile. "But the dork you shot sky high says you boss doesn't trust outsiders, and is pretty tough to impress. Any pointers for an infamous street-fighter?"

"Trust no one, get paid to do what you're supposed to do, and don't show off. If you want to join, you'll have to see him yourself." He states, polishing his cannon.

"And where would that be?" Smoke crosses his arms.

"Fear is out of contact. Dr. Eggman however, is in Mobotropolis. We can take you there to talk to Eggman." He makes a motion, and the soldiers that were securing the ship regroup and get back in the ship.

"Funny, your man there said Old Robotropolis when I asked him." Smoke raises an eyebrow.

"He's a grunt. Do you really think I'd let him know where Eggman is? He could be forced to give away secrets." He states.

Smoke nods slowly, and then his hand twitches. Suddenly the thrusters, and wings of the ship are blown off, but the carriage is still intact. Spike grabs Galvix's cannon arm, and twists it behind his back before cutting it off. Cinder heads right inside the ship, and goes to town to a chorus of shouts and screams.

Galvix grunts before smashing Spike's face with his forehead, forcing Spike to let him go. He flicks his arms, and a cannon appears on his left as the remains of his right cannon shifts into a glowing purple sword. "Oh, you'll pay for that." He hisses.

Smoke grabs his head, and twists it off, "I don't think so."

Soon the screams inside the ship stop, and Cinder comes out dragging June by the quills.

She kicks and screams, "Let me go! I don't know anything, I swear!"

"You know the contact lines, and passcodes, that's enough," Cinder says evenly.

She whimpers, but says nothing else.

Smoke takes her from Cinder, "Hey, that's no way to treat a lady."

Spike raises his sword.

"Neither is that," Smoke deadpans. "Alright guys, coast is clear!"

We all walk out, and her eyes widen when she sees me. "You... you're priority one!"

Millie cocks back an arm, "Not anymore he isn't."

Cinder looks back to the island, and then at June. "We want access to the database."

"Even if you did, Fear doesn't keep anything that could ruin him circulate on the network." She shakes.

Smoke rubs her back, "Hey chill out, you're one of the good guys now, kay?"

"I... am?" She shudders to his touch, but blinks curiously.

He nods, "You don't gotta work for them anymore... in fact, come say hello to your new Grandmaster." He helps her to her feet, and takes her over to my mother.

"M-Miss Lien-Da?!" She goes to a knee and places a fist on her heart. "I...I thought you were dead!"

"Or someone had hoped," Spike quips, and high-fives Smoke.

"Why did you think I was dead?" Mom tilts her head.

"Fear told us that you had fallen in combat, and that hedgehog..." She points at me. "...Was the one who did it!"

Cinder crosses her arms, "So if we were to broadcast a message from Lien-Da to the legion..."

"Only a few would listen. Only a few of us follow because we have no choice, but the rest follow because they believe in Fear." June says.

Smoke clicks his claws, "But that Counterpunch guy is legit, I'd bet my tail we could get him to trust us... and maybe Galvix too if he hadn't lost his head..."

"Not Galvix. He didn't trust Fear, but he loved the power he held." She looks at the corpse sadly. "He was lured with power, and fell to greater power."

"Then maybe power may save him again," Cinder reasons. "Knuckles is working to free Tikal... she may be able to help."

"Maybe." She looks at me. "Are you even trying to kill anyone?"

"Fear brought the fight to me, not the other way around. Also, Lien-Da is my mother, so I'm not too keen on killing her." I say.

Her eyes grew bigger.

Smoke presses a finger to his lips, "Big secret though, hush-hush."

She nods. "Well, I'll gladly follow Lien-Da." She looks down at her cloak. "I wish I didn't have to wear this, though..."

Sarah helps her up, "You can borrow something of mine if you like."

"Thank you!" She smiles.

Sarah leads her off, but Millie keeps an eye on them. I look to my mom, "Alright, now we've got a few places to look, where should we start?"

"Hm... Eggman seems to be the better bet, but this Counterpunch person seems to have more info on Fear."

"What do you think?" I look at Smoke.

"Divide, and conquer," Smoke suggests. "You go with mommy dearest to hunt Eggman. Poisoned Rose goes for Counterpunch, and reports in when we find him. I'll take Jane too, and see if I can get Seis, and his friends in on this too."

Seis nods. "Of course we will. I'll contact them."

"All right, sounds like a plan." I nod.

Knuckles walks out from the forest, a peach colored female echidna and... some blue creature behind him.

Cinder kneels with her fist over her heart. "Princess Tikal, Lord Chaos."

Tikal smiles and waves to us.

Chaos says dramatically, "Arise, Rodimus Prime!"

Spike gawks, "A god that knows Transformers?! Dude, you rock!" He holds up a hand for a high-five.

Chaos gives him the high-five. "Thanks man!"

Cinder stands with an amused expression. "Forgive me Chaos, but while I know you are content with such foolery as Spike, I intend to give Princess Tikal the royal respect she is due."

"Mama always had a way with words," Spike whispers to Chaos, and no one even sees it when Cinder nails him in the head with a rock.

Chaos tilts his head. "I know she does. I spent a week straight with her."

Tikal giggles.

Shade turns to Tikal, "So what's next for you?"

"I'll stay here on the island, and care for the wildlife." She smiles. "I've missed my time with it."

Crystal smiles, and looks around. "I look forward to seeing what you can do."

Smoke shrugs, "Well she is The Light, life is sorta her thing. By the by Tikal, remember Enerjak?"

"Enerjak?" She frowns. "I've heard of him in my time in the Master Emerald, but I've never met him in person."

"He's one creepy dude. It's like... me as Perfect Chaos, but more concentrated, less bent on world domination, and more 'augh, Imma be rich!'" Chaos says.

"And my father," Shade says evenly.

Smoke crosses his arms, "I wanted to tell her..."

"I see. I hope you're not like that too." Tikal smiles gently, amused at Chaos' impression.

"I know what sort of man he is, and I've often prayed not to become him." Shade smiles, "I'm actually something of an oddity to my kind, I don't believe in pointless violence."

"Remind you of someone?" Smoke eyes Tikal.

"Luke, I'm your mother!" Chaos says in a somewhat decent Darth Vader voice, bubbling a little.

Spike high-fives him again. "I love this guy!"

Reave chuckles as Sarah, and Millie return with June in a blue sundress.

"All right, so I can let you guys access the network. It's going to be a bit difficult without Galvix's access codes, but I can bypass them." June says, placing her headset back on.

Spike twirls his truck keys on a finger, "Okay, so how are you guys gonna get wherever you're going?"

"I figured they'd take the train," Smoke says with a shrug.

"To Mobotropolis? Doesn't sound too bad." I say.

Spike gives Reave a bromance hug. "Later bro, kick some serious ass for me."

"Likewise," Reave replies as he raises his hood.

Sonic chuckles. "Looks like you guys have everything under control. I'm gonna head home."

"Tell Amy I said hi," I call with a wave. "We'll call if we need you."

"Okay, I'll definitely bring backup if you do." He smirks. He dashes away, jumping off the Island with a whoop.

Sarah walks up, and hugs me. "Are we leaving so soon?"

"I want to go home and get more clothes. Definitely say hi to Mom." I smile.

Sarah smiles, and pecks my cheek. "I'd like to see her too, we haven't told her about us getting married yet."

"She'd definitely like to know." I nod. I turn to everyone. "I'm heading home for a bit."

Antonio trots up. "Yay!"

Millie cracks her knuckles, "I'm coming too."

Shade nods to me, "We should be fine until you return. Have a safe journey."

I wave and grab Sarah, making sure Aether is secure before turning Tails Doll and flying.

Antonio grabs Millie and flies after us.

...

Maybe half an hour later we land outside my house. Sarah shivers, and tries to rub some warmth into her arms.

I run my hands down her arms while Antonio unlocks the door, opening it.

"Mom, we're home!" Antonio calls.

Millie pokes her head in, "Mrs. Hero's mom?"

We walk in, and Antonio goes into the kitchen.

"Heh, thoughtful Mom! Dear kids, if you happen to come home today, I'm having lunch with employers. Enjoy your stay, and please try to stick around until I get back. Love, Mom."

Millie flops on the couch with a yawn, and snuggles down for a midday nap. Sarah smirks as Aether curls on top of her to join in.

I walk to the TV and turn it on. "Ah, civilization."

Sarah snuggles up beside me with a happy sigh.

I place my head on her shoulder and smile. "So this is what it'll be like when we get old."

"And we'll be griping at our grandkids to settle down."

I laugh and continue, "And Antonio will impress them with all the cool gadgets he made over the years."

"And Millie will be knitting in a corner."

"No she will not," Millie says without opening her eyes.

"She'll probably be threatening them with a gun or something." Antonio snickers.

Millie rubs her new weapons fondly, "Thanks for buying these Antonio."

"Absolutely." He rubs her shoulder.

She looks up at him, and smirks. "Y'know... you're not so bad."

"I try." He smiles. He straightens up. "That reminds me, I need to check on my girlfriend." He dashes out the front door. "See you guys later!"

Miliie sighs, "Dammit, he's taken."

I chuckle. "Yeah, it's hard to believe."

"Not really," Millie sighs, and closes her eyes. "If he asked me out I'd take him up on it."

I raise an eyebrow. "After all the times you've hit him?"

"What can I say, love hurts."

Sarah snickers, and buries her face in my shoulder as she laughs.

I smile. "Yes, it does. Especially when money's involved."

Sarah winces, "I will pay you back, I promise."

"It's okay." I hug her.

She purrs, "Mm, just you touching me lights my heart on fire."

"Oh gag me," Millie mutters from the couch.

"Hey, you'll find love, and eventually you'll be just like us." I smirk.

"Yak yak *yawn*," with that she dozes off. Sarah giggle, and lays down in my lap.

I chuckle. "I need to talk to Antonio about that."

"Hm?" Sarah looks up at me curiously.

"That she likes him. Unless he figures it out himself."

"He's smart, he probably knows," Sarah reasons.

"I wonder how he'll deal with it-" I start.

The door flies open, Antonio walking back through with a stunned look on his face.

Sarah sits up, "What is it?"

"She... broke up with me." He says slowly, unbelieving.

Sarah gets up, and hugs him. "Aw... I'm sorry."

"How come?" I ask.

"I forgot to tell her I was coming with you guys, and she was mad that I didn't say anything about it until now." He sighs. "So, she broke up with me."

Sarah moans, and rubs his back, "C'mon, I'll cook you something to help you feel better."

She leads him off to the kitchen by the wrist, and I notice Millie isn't asleep anymore. She sits up, "So where's this girl live?"

"On Jerry Blvd., fifth house down." I blink.

She gets up, and heads for the door.

"Woah there." I grab her. "You're not talking to her."

"The hell I'm not! Antonio is a great guy, and I'll be damned before I let some prissy little slut pull a bitch move on him like that!"

"Hey! She's not slut!" Antonio fades in, growling.

She shakes me off, "Whatever, I'm not letting her treat you like something she can just toss away. You were happy with her right?"

"Well yeah. But she was my friend, and then she became my girlfriend." He says. "I'll give her some time to cool down."

"So you're letting her walk all over you?" Millie shakes her head, and goes back to the couch. "Whatever, your life."

Antonio shrugs. "She let me go. If she wants me, I'm here."

"I think you're better off without her," Millie growls. "If she'd pull something like this then she obviously doesn't trust you."

"You're really passive-aggressive, you know that?" He tilts his head.

I snicker.

"So? That's who I am, and I like it." She crosses her arms with a smile.

"Well, if she wants to diss me and you want to get revenge for me... why don't we go on a date?" Antonio offers. "I'll pay!"

"You're one," she laughs, and follows him. "I've got spare ammo in case she shows up."

"Sweet. See ya Hero!" He grabs her and shoots into the sky.

Sarah smirks, "I hope they have a good time."

"Me too." I smile.

*Antonio's POV*

So, my girlfriend ditched me... I'll miss her, but I guess she really didn't know that much about me. Like how I'm the Tails Doll.

I fly through the air, holding Millie around her waist.

She holds on by my shoulders, her legs tucked up so I can land.

I land in front of a fancy restaurant and set her down.

She dusts herself off, "Beats a limo, it its own way."

"Thanks, I think." I open the door. It's a slightly higher end joint, but just casual enough that we can wear the clothes we're wearing. Like Red Lobster.

She gives a low whistle, "Nice place."

"Thanks." I walk up to the waiter. "Table for two, please."

He nods, and leads us to a table with a window view of the beach. The sun is starting to set so it casts a beautiful image in the window. Millie seems to enjoy it anyhow.

I sit and take a look at the menu. Ooh, this looks good!

She smiles, "I'd like a coke, and can we get some mozzarella sticks for an appetizer?"

The waiter nods, and writes it down.

"I'll take this." I hand him the menu.

He blinks. "I'm sorry, what did you want?"

"One of everything, with a side of everything else, and everything for desert." I say obviously.

Seriously, people always seem so surprised!

Millie smiles, "Well since we're ordering dinner now I'd like the steak, rare, with a baked potato, and some steamed vegetables."

"Y-yes ma'am." He hurriedly writes everything down and scurries away.

She smiles at me, "Thanks for this, I haven't gotten a chance to relax in a long time."

"Yeppers. It's been a pretty interesting journey." I nod.

She stretches, and cracks her neck, "So, tell me a bit about yourself."

"I'm a police detective by day, and Tails Doll at night. Keeping crime at bay is a full time job." I say seriously.

"I'll bet," she smirks. "I guess I'm lucky I never had you on my tail... yet." She winks teasingly at me with a smile that lets me know she's joking.

"Because you're so naughty." I snicker. "I dunno, it has its perks and it disadvantages. I just don't know any disadvantages."

"Losing friends," she points out.

"Meh, friends are a luxury I allow, not I get. Just having a girlfriend is an add-on." I sigh.

She reaches across the table with a smile, and takes my hand. "Well... at least now you know a girl who can keep up well enough to watch your back."

"I dunno... Cinder's a bit old for me..."

She swats at my head, "I meant me, and you know it."

"Oh. I mean, of course!" Actually, I didn't. Best play along, though.

She smirks, and looks around, "Nice, and quiet here. Come here often?"

"Yeah. I like it. They always seem surprised when I order, though."

"Well not everyone orders everything on the menu. Typically they expect the kind of order I did. Still, if you come here a lot then they must have a few people who know you well enough you shouldn't even need to order."

She leans on the table, "We had an aunt who would take care of us when our folks went on a trip. She's always taken us to the same restaurant for dinner. All the serving people knew her so they'd take one look at her, call her name over the counter, and her usual order would come right on out."

I shrug. "Maybe it's because they keep getting fired due to how large my order is or something."

"Well that's just stupid... but maybe I could get a job here. Once everything is said, and done anyways."

"And then you'd be the cutest waitress here." I smile. "Plus, you'd know my order."

She nods, and knocks her wrists together, "And with these I can make this place the safest joint ever... Hey did you ever bring your girlfriend here?"

"Once. Usually, I took her to Pizza Shack and stuff." I shrug.

Millie starts making a house of sugar packets like a house of cards. "Okay, because it'd be awkward is she walked in."

"She wouldn't come here anyways. She doesn't know where it is." I snicker.

She giggles, "Good, I don't feel like punching tonight."

"Really? Aw, I planned on training tonight, and I wanted to teach you some moves." I sigh. "Oh well."

"Good thing I know you, or that could be taken the seriously wrong way," she quips as her food arrives along with some of mine.

"Funny, I think that every fifth sentence you say." I hide a grin, selecting to bite into our shared mozzarella stick appetizer.

She blushes, "You know, I might actually punch something after all..."

I just laugh and eat some of my meal.

She smiles, and cuts open her steak. She frowns, "Excuse me, can i get this a little darker please? I like mine so when I cut into it it moos."

"Here, try mine." I switch the steak that I got with hers.

She opens it, and smiles, "Much better."

It's almost raw... Delish!

She cuts off a piece, and takes a bite. She nods, "Well seasoned..."

"Wow... for a rabbit, you sure are a meatatarian." I inhale the traded steak, finishing it in two gulps.

She smiles, "What can I say? I like my meat fresh."

"Don't rabbits usually eat just vegetables?" I finish the rest of my meal in a few seconds as the next course of my meal arrives.

"Don't most hedgehogs only eat bugs?" She raises an eyebrow, "You're thinking of Feral rabbits, like what you can buy at a pet store. I am Mobian, so there."

"I'm a fox." I say, insulted. "My hair may look like a hedgehog, but I'm a fox! And besides, I'm the Tails Doll, so I pretty much eat everything, including souls."

"And rabbits," she points out with a wink.

"And don't you look delicious." I waggle my eyebrows suggestively, eating my second round.

She smiles, "Well let's just see where the night leads us."

"Agreed." My third wave of food comes as I finish my second.

She finishes her potato as my food comes, and sips her drink. She looks outside thoughtfully.

I swallow. "Something bugging you?"

"Just trying to decide if I wanna go for a swim, or spar on that beach."

"Whichever you want. Just note it's getting dark, so choose carefully." I move on to my fifth wave.

"Swimming it is then," she decides, and looks at her bracelets. "The guys said these were waterproof right?"

"They said they were pretty much indestructible." I recall.

She smiles, "I'll pay you back the five thousand for them, even if I gotta rob a bank."

"Nonsense! They're a gift for you. I have way too much money anyways. After all, I make tons of money in the Undergound as the Tails Doll." I wave her off.

She chuckles, "You're too sweet, you know that?"

"Really? Most people say I'm scary. Then again, most people shit their pants when they see me." I snicker.

She laughs, "Yeah, I'll bet Batman."

"WHERE ARE THE DRUGS AT?! SWEAR TO ME!" I growl before laughing.

She rocks her chair back laughing.

"And now I have a Joker brother named Robert Knox." I sigh, eating my sixth wave.

"The guy we put on ice, right?"

"Yupyup." I nod. "I'm amazed the ice has held him this long."

"Well his is Enerjak we're talking about, imagine how he'd react if anyone ever escaped from him."

"I'm pretty sure I can survive an attack with Enerjak. If I can, I know he can." I say seriously.

"Well let's hope Enerjak can hold him as long as possible," she says, downing the last of her drink.

I nod, and offer her one of my ten desserts.

She takes the chocolate cheesecake, and cuts herself a slice.

I finish everything else and lick my lips, downing my drink. "You need help with that?"

She nods, passing the rest back to me.

I swallow it, and place my credit card on the table.

She finishes her desert, and stands, "I gotta find the ladies' room."

"Restrooms are that way." I point to the back.

She nods, and trots off towards them. The waiter comes over, and takes my card to the register, returning a few minutes later.

I leave him a generous tip (As I normally do so that they feel their time wasn't wasted on me) and wait at the front door for her.

She shows up a minute later with a wide smile, and threads her arm through mine. "Best dinner I've had in a while."

"Really? I thought all the ones we've had recently were pretty good." I smirk.

She leans on me, "This one was special."

"Is it because you're special? Because it's not because I'm special." I smile.

She purrs, "It's special because this was my first date."

"Then it pleases me to be your first." I say in a suave voice, smiling.

She snorts, and lets go. She walks backwards in front of me with her fingers laced behind her back. "So what next? Gotta let the food settle before we can swim."

I shrug. "There's a museum that-" I pause, hearing a crash with my superhearing. "Hold that thought."

I reach into my tail and spin like a cyclone, coming back out as the Tails Doll.

"Trouble's nearby." I growl in my Tails Doll/Batman voice.

She rolls her eyes, and looks around. She smirks when she sees an oll bandanna in a garbage can. She lets her hair down so it's really wavy, and covers her lower face with the bandanna. She punches her fists together, transforming her gauntlets, "Let's go Batman."

"It's Tails Doll, Smallville Nightwing." I state (Albeit sounding like a growl), and grab her hand, running into a shadowy alleyway.

"Screw that, call me Suckerpunch."

"Okay." We disappear into the shadows using my cloak, and reappear on a rooftop.

She looks over the edge, and looks around.

I listen again, and I hear panting. I tap her shoulder and motion that the attacker is underneath us.

She nods, and gets ready to drop right on top of him.

I disappear back into the shadows with a smirk. Ah, I've missed doing this!

She leaps, and lands right behind the attacker. She whirls, bashing her elbow into his head, assisted by a blast from her guns.

"Ack!" He flies into my awaiting arms. I step from the shadows, the gem on the forehead of my mask and my eyes glowing a blood red.

I tilt my head creepily and hiss, "I've been gone for a week, and you people automatically assume that the city is yours again? I think not."

She cracks her knuckles, and extends a hand to the victim, "You okay?"

He whimpers, a stab wound in his chest.

I glower at the man in my hands, and the mouth part on my mask starts bleeding. "You'll tell your friends that Tails Doll isn't gone. He'll never be gone." I punch one of his kneecaps, breaking the leg easily. He goes unconscious from the pain after a high-pitched scream. I drop him and walk to the victim.

Millie looks over to me, "This one's stabbed, doesn't look fatal though."

I pick him up and hiss, "I'll take him to the hospital. I'll find you once I do." I step back into the shadows, disappearing.

She nods, and punches at the ground, the force of her guns sending her skywards where she lands on the rooftops with a flip.

I reappear at the hospital, giving him to the authorities, before disappearing again. I find her at the beach waiting for me. I switch back into my gi and walk up to her.

She's busy braiding her hair back when she smiles up at me. "That was fun, I'm totally going to be your partner from now on!"

"Congratulations, you just won a costume, a motorcycle, and a boat." I smirk.

She pumps a fist in the air, luckily she's already changed her gauntlets back into bracelets.

"Seriously though, Suckerpunch? Are you sticking with that?" I tilt my head amusedly.

"Why not? I like the ring of it." She stands, and starts pulling off her shirt.

"You've got a bathing suit on, right?" I ask.

No she does not, but she has undergarments.

I blush and look around. No one's here besides us. I spin again, this time into swim trunks.

She rolls her eyes as she slips into the water. "Ooo! Cold!"

I walk in after her. I laser-vision the water, heating it up for us.

She purrs, "Thanks!"

"Sure!" I smile. I dive under, swimming around like I was a fish myself.

Millie looks content to float on her back, looking up at the emerging stars.

I watch her under the water. I must admit, she's pretty cute. Plus, she's strong and smart to boot! She's a bit too headstrong though...

I smirk, getting an idea.

She laces her hands behind her head, and crosses her legs.

I swim directly underneath her, and gaze straight up. I wonder how pissed this'll make her...

She inhales, and exhales happily.

I swim straight up until I'm a few feet from her, and I wag my tail like a cat stalking something. Then, quicker than at least light itself, I'm swimming back into the deep, her underwear in my hand.

And for those of you uninformed, doing that underwater is really something. Yes I'm bragging, deal with it.

I watch as Millie goes upright again, and fells her crotch for her underpants. Then she puts one hand on her hip, and crooks a finger like she's saying, "Come here."

I swim around out of her reach, debating whether or not that's a good idea, before surfacing a safe distance away.

She's smiling at me, and swims over. "You forgot these." She puts my hand on the strap of her bra.

"I did, didn't I?" I smirk and give a tug, and it comes off like she never wore it in the first place.

She smiles, and then swims up to me. She pecks a kiss on my lips before swimming off under the sea.

I grin and dive after her, easily catching up. I activate my laser vision at its lowest, using it as a light for us to see.

She turns over on her back, and wraps her arms around my neck. This time the kiss is slow, and gentle.

I love my life...

I give her some of my oxygen during the exchange, as I'm able to stay down here much longer than she can, before I give her an even more passionate kiss.

Hero, you take stuff too slow, and at the same time, too fast. You should've done this a long time ago to Sarah, and then asked to marry her a few years from now.

Mille smiles, and I feel her slip off my trunks.

I smile and wrap my large tail around her gently, covering her body easily. You know, just in case anyone decides to post sensual fan-art of this moment ;)

She raises an eyebrow, and wraps her legs around my waist as she pulls me in for a deeper kiss.

I accommodate her, meeting her halfway as I close my eyes, savoring the moment.

She runs a few fingers through my hair, and rubs my back as I feel her tongue intruding.

I open my mouth and we start going deeper. I slowly pull my tail, and I feel her breath catch as my tail fur rubs against her private areas as I pull it back behind me.

She smiles, as she takes my hips in her hands, and starts slowly rubbing herself against me.

If we weren't underwater, she would definitely hear me purring. As it is, I simply grab her chest and start messing with her fun bags as my tail slowly rubs her back.

She smiles through our joined lips, and raises her hips over my growing rod. She pulls her face back, and gives me a nod.

I smile. Antonio, you're one smooth BAMF.

*Hero's POV*

I sneeze and blink. "I think Antonio made fun of me." Sarah and I are playing Sonic Riders.

"What makes you say that?" She says as she struggles to keep control of her player.

"I usually sneeze when he makes fun of me behind my back." I boost and attack her character from behind with a laugh.

She pouts, "Meanie!"

"Says the person who won the last five races?" I level up into rank three.

She sticks her tongue out at me, "You let me win those, didn't you?"

"Maybe it's because I was Jet all those times, and now I'm Sonic?" I smirk.

She sticks her tongue out at me again, and rams me from the side.

"Hey!" I use my boost to shoot forward before activating a tornado in her character's face.

She groans as she loses, and sets down her controller before leaning on me.

I chuckle. "Sarah five, Hero one, but the one match proves I'm superior? You're so adorable." I wrap an arm around her.

She purrs as I hear mom's car pulling into the driveway.

I set my controller aside and stand, stretching.

Mom comes in through the front door, and blinks when she sees me. "Hero! You're home!"

She runs over and pulls me into a hug, and I grunt, "Hey Mom!"

Sarah smiles, and joins in for a group hug.

"Hero, it seems like you've grown so much! So have you found your mother?" Mom smiles.

"Yes. We came home so we could tell you, and take a bit of a break." I smile.

"Oh, I'm so proud! So what's happened since I saw you last?"

"A lot," Sarah says dramatically.

I smile. "Well, I asked Sarah to marry me, and she said yes."

Mom blinks and looks at Sarah. "Really?"

Sarah giggles, and shows her the ring.

Mom grabs Sarah's hand and studies it. "Wow Hero. You really went for this."

I chuckle. "Thanks."

"And it's functional," Sarah says, turning it into a shield when my mom's a safe distance away.

"Wow." She says, impressed.

"I also got some for me." I show her my swords.

"Good, now you can help Antonio take care of the household." She smiles.

"Yes ma'am," Sarah says standing.

"You two had better give me great grandchildren." Mom smirks.

"MOM!" I shout, horrified.

Sarah laughs, and doubles over. "I... don't think... that's a problem..."

"Good. I want them before I die."

"MOOOOM!"

Tloj: XD Oh Hero's mom...
