"Stupid wrench!" I growled under my breath as I gave my tool another sharp tug. It was times like these that made me jealous of Sonic, Knuckles, and the others who managed to get all the cool super powers while I can barely tighten a bolt. Oh sure, flying is great when you're trying to reach the top shelf in your pantry, but it doesn't do much good when you're trying to mount something as heavy as a wing onto a fuselage and a bolt manages to get stuck. I would call Knuckles, but I really don't want to hear all the rap I'd get later for calling him all the way from Angel Island to get him to help me with what amounts to opening a pickle jar. A
Chapter I: Happy Birthday, Tails!"SURPRISE!!!" Shouted all who were gathered in the room as a small, two-tailed kitsune stepped into his dimly lit home, briefly disoriented by the light from the overhead lamp being suddenly thrown in his face. When his vision cleared he looked up to see his plethora of friends scattered around his living room, each with huge smiles on their faces as they heralded another year of age for the genius fox boy. Present was his best friend, Sonic the Hedgehog, wearing a striped party hat as though it were a crown as he jumped from one foot to the other excitedly. Then there was Amy, standing closely next to Sonic bearing a colorfully wrapped giftChapter I: Happy Birthday, Tails!9 months ago in Romance More Like This

It was quiet within the corridors of the Blue Typhoon. The only sound that could be heard was the engines, humming faintly as they pushed the titanic craft through space. It was not a natural silence, however. The halls that had once echoed with laughter and the warmth of friendship now felt cold and empty. Upon the bridge stood a group of close companions, all staring out of the main viewport with the same look of dysphoria frozen upon their faces. Cream clung tightly to Amy's waist as she wept softly. Amy turned to Sonic with a look of desperation in her eyes, her tears mingling with the makeup on her face as they ran down her cheeks. He sa

Tails woke to find himself lying on a flat surface with a light blanket spread over him. He rolled onto his back and opened his eyes only to be blinded by a white light. Crying out, he threw his hands over his face to shield them. After his vision cleared and everything came into focus he realized he was in the medical bay, laying in the same bed that Cosmo had when they had discovered the sensor in her brain. He did not remember how he came to be here but suspected someone had carried him from the bridge.
"Maybe it was a dream," he thought to himself, "please god let it all have been a dream."
It took him a moment to realize that he was no

When they finally reached Tails' house, Cosmo could not help but be impressed by Tails' humble abode. His house was a small A-Frame style building, which was perched on the edge of a hill consisting of two stories and what looked like a basement area toward the back. There was also a shed like structure off to the side of his house, which Cosmo assumed was his workshop. What impressed her more was the fact that Tails lived in and maintained his house on his own with no parents or guardians to look after him. She wondered if this ever made him feel lonely. She also began to wonder where his parents were and why they had left their son to take

It was early in the morning and all was quiet. The peaceful dark remained unbroken by the morning sun as all Mobians continued to sleep soundly. Everything was calm and peaceful.
Yet surprisingly Tails was awake staring out of his living room window at the stars, which had begun to fade from the night sky. He had woken up unusually early and decided that he wanted to watch the sunrise. Although dawn was still over two hours away, Tails had no desire to continue sleeping. Instead he stared out of his window, ruminating on past events.
Much had happened in the past couple of months since Cosmo's tragic death. The grief and depression he had e

Tails sat on his couch and stared forlornly at the sprout in front of him. Time seemed to pass slowly for the fox as he watched his plant grow within its small clay pot. As the hours dragged on his mind began to wander only to arrive at the same thoughts as before. His thoughts always drifted back to his love and how he wished she could be there with him. He began to find it increasingly painful to think about her yet found it painful not to. Once again he found himself talking to the plant as though it were her.
"Hi there," he whispered softly, "I-I-I miss you..."
He hung his head and began to fight back tears. Although he could not explai

As the party entered the restaurant all were taken aback by the sheer decadence of the establishment. Everything from the decor to the staff seemed to reek of ostentatiousness. At the center of the lobby was an impressive marble fountain with water cascading down its central spire over the edge of a bowl and into a small goldfish pond below. Rings sparkled beneath the water, tossed in with the wishes of children and by Mobians generous enough to spare them. The walls were painted in swirling gold

The scene quickly transitioned from a feline newscaster to what appeared to be an overhead view of the city of Mobotropolis, with the camera facing the streets below. As per the description of the newscaster, a large number of red, humanoid robots had formed a battle line at one end of the main road and were slowly making their way up the street, destroying anything that stood in their way.

Four days passed and found the Blue Typhoon close to home. The thought of returning to their peaceful lives on Mobius save for the occasional Robotnik invasion left everyone in high spirits. All but one, who had remained in his quarters for the duration of the journey accepting little food and speaking to no one. He merely sat in his quarters and stared with sad eyes at a small clay pot that Cream had recently planted Cosmo's seed in. She had used soil samples from the Green Planet in hopes that it would help the seed grow faster and stronger. The only hope that Tails now held was in two small leaves poking out of the soil.

White, endless white, that is what he was seeing at the moment. An endless canopy of white stretched over his head that seemed to go on forever, broken only by the black stars that dotted this strange inverted sky. It was dizzying to look at this strange spectacle, but infinitely preferable to looking down. One could see what looked like the entirety of the universe beneath him, as if viewed through a sheet of transparent glass. Any other being would have been driven mad at the mere sight of this place, but then he was no ordinary being anymore. A curse that he had never asked for, and now wished he could give back.

Chapter XXIII: Placing the PiecesThe sound of droning metal was all that could be heard in the silent halls of Xemus' broken battleship as it continued to hang ominously above the skies of Mobius. Oddly enough the dark master himself was not on the bridge this day, but rather secluded in his meditation chamber extending his sites across the lush planet. Within the corridors the decaying form of a slave limped across the hall having been summoned by his master for reasons unknown. Upon arrival at the chamber door the servant hesitated, deciding how best to gain his master's attention. Xemus was quite secretive about the contents of his chamber and the servant dare not enter hChapter XXIII: Placing the Pieces1 year ago in Romance More Like This
Chapter III: More than MaliciousThe midnight hour approached as Jaran Kai made his way home from Tails' lab, having once again acted as council for the adolescent fox. A poorly made up song of joy he sang as he danced down the darkened streets, allowing his glee to take hold of him again. Tails and Cosmo, the children he had been charged with protecting ever since he had arrived on Mobius, were to finally be joined in glorious matrimony. In addition, Tails had asked him to aid in the preparations for the next day. The thought sent shivers up his spine as he approached his hidden beachside bungalow, holding a hand out and disengaging the door's telekinetically triggered lockChapter III: More than Malicious7 months ago in Horror More Like This
Chapter VI: The Evening (Pt. 2)"Sonic, why on Mobius are we here?" Amy complained as she dragged herself down the Mobius Strip in downtown Mobotropolis, her high-heels clapping as they struck the ground. Garbed in a familiar dress which she had worn at the party on the Blue Typhoon to try and impress Sonic, she found herself once again wearing this outfit as she and Sonic made their way to the newly constructed Mediterranean restaurant located on the strip, as directed by Shadow in a rather cryptic note. Sonic tugged at his collar as he walked wearing a suit which Amy had insistently picked out for him, finding any kind of clothing to be uncomfortable as many Mobian malesChapter VI: The Evening (Pt. 2)5 months ago in Humor More Like This
Chapter II: A Union in the MakingIt was late at night and Cosmo had long since retired to bed, leaving Tails alone in his workshop once again as he attempted to continue drafting plans for his incomplete plane, the X Tornado Mark Two. Finding himself incapable due to the burden on his mind he once again retrieved the black, velveteen box from within his desk and opened it, gazing at the tiny diamond ring held inside. The kitsune let out a forlorn sigh as he fingered the sparkling gemstone, reflecting back on the decision he had come to at the party, now feeling much less certain about it than before. Be it his lack of self confidence or his youth, he began to worry about whaChapter II: A Union in the Making8 months ago in Romance More Like This

Vanilla the Rabbit sat quietly in her living room recliner sipping her cup of tea. She gave a long sigh as she set the cup down on the coffee table and stood making her way down the hall to her daughter's room. She opened the door and walked into the unoccupied room with a downcast expression on her face. While looking over the room she noticed a small ruffle in her daughter's bedspread. Walking over to the bed she gave the blanket a slight tug to straighten out the minor imperfection. She then left the room being sure to close the door behind her. Walking back to the living room she once again sat down in the recliner and reached over to the

The room was silent as everyone stared at Vector with wide eyes, their mouths hanging open in shock.
"You lost it! Tell me you're joking!" Sonic shouted angrily.
"I didn't say I lost it," Vector said defensively, "I just... don't know where it is."
Sonic smacked his forehead in frustration.
"Now wait just a moment. Let's think about this," Vanilla said calmly, "where did you last have it Vector?"
"I locked it in my desk drawer as soon as we got home," Vector replied.
"Are you sure that is where you left it?" Vanilla questioned.
"I'm absolutely sure! Espio and Charmy saw me put it there!"

The next two days were spent in nervous anticipation. The disappearance of the Chaos Emeralds as a result of the appearance of a new dark persona only added to the already immense stress of dealing with Tails' depression. A feeling of foreboding hung over the team, and prompted them to keep an even closer watch over the remaining Chaos Emeralds. After two days of waiting for something to happen, Sonic finally decided to have everyone meet at Vanilla's house to discuss the situation.
Upon arrival at Vanilla's house, everyone quietly took a seat in the living room as they anxiously waited for Sonic to begin speaking. Sonic sat on the large cou
Chapter XXIV: It BeginsA heavy thud on the door of Tails and Cosmo's house had the two-tailed fox up from his couch in relatively no time at all. Up until this point the day had proceeded very quietly, with Tails in his workshop while Cosmo worked in her garden. A light rain had begun to fall prompting the two to return to their living room for a quiet evening, now postponed due to the knock at their door. Tails opened the door and was surprised to find Jaran Kai standing at his doorstep, his cloak heavily soaked from the rain coming down outside. His facial expression was one of seriousness as Tails stared at him wordlessly. Finally the human spoke in a low voice.Chapter XXIV: It Begins1 year ago in Romance More Like This

Eggman screamed frantically as he watched the main viewer, seeing three hedgehogs, an echidna, a fox, a flower, and a human force their way into the entrance of his seaside base. He had never expected a retaliation so quickly, and with his prototype Pawn undergoing a recharge cycle he had nothing to combat against the preternatural powers of Jaran Kai. He had assumed with the beating they had received less than an hour earlier that any other attack would have been dissuaded, and as such had no backup plan to combat this full frontal assault.

A few days had passed since the destruction of Eggman's Ultimate Badnik and things were once again settling down for Team Sonic. Routine began to set in again and the friends had resumed the normal activities with which they were usually involved in. One obvious difference remained however, and that was the presence of Jaran Kai. Undeniably their trust of him was still shaky, but everyone had begun to adapt to the presence of their new human companion. When Team Sonic participated in group activities Kai would often join them, although he was still a bit standoffish. While the construction of his house had been delayed by their ordeal with Eg

Light pierced the window in Tails' bedroom and caused him to shift in his bed. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around his bedroom wondering how he ended up in his bed. He then remembered his breakdown at the beach and Sonic flying him home in the X Tornado.
"I must have fallen asleep," he said to himself climbing out of bed. He walked into his bathroom and looked himself over in the mirror. His eyes were crusted over from having cried himself to sleep and his fur was dirty and unkempt. He did not care. Nothing seemed to matter to him anymore.
Then he remembered his flower, the one thing that still mattered to him, the thing that might

Tails awoke the next morning feeling surprisingly refreshed. Everything seemed clearer after a good night's sleep that they had the previous day. Although the words of Shadow still echoed in his mind, they had more of a calming effect on him today. Even though he was still angry at Shadow for what he had tried to do back on the Typhoon, he took some measure of comfort in the fact that he had a kindred spirit who could sympathize with him on his situation. The idea that he might yet be able to recover from his loss and be happy again gave him a small bit of hope in what otherwise seemed like a hopeless situation.
