EXCERPT: For the sake of honesty, this is my first fanfic. Ever. And yes, it is a Taismo story. So if you do not like this couple, I am not one to disrespect other peoples opinions, I will simply ask that you do not flame me and that you keep your comments to yourself. Please and thank you. :) Anyway, I do have some experience in writing and even more in spelling. I have had my inspiration, TheBlox, on DeviantArt, and TailsIsReal, on Fanfiction.net. Most of the credit goes to TheBlox, and I have to say 'thanks so much for your (most likely unknown) help! Back to the fanfic. I try my very best to keep the characters inline with their personalities. This is my worst fear of failing to portray correctly. Anywho, enough of my blabbering and on with the story! Please enjoy! :) -------Chapter 1, Recap ------- Alone. The very word sent a shiver down his spine. But that's what he was, solitary on a hill, one of many, watching the afternoon daylight fade into dusk. A tear escaped from one of his big blue eyes and trickled down his furry white cheek. Miles Prower, commonly known as Tails, was not his usual happy self today, and it was no different two days ago. The whole gang, Sonic, Knuckles, Amy, Cream, Cheese, Chris and himself had returned to Mobius after a dangerous voyage in space. Everyone returned, except one. Another tear escaped Tails' eye at the horrible memory. She had captured their enemy, Dark Oak, under the roots of her now tree form. "I am in place Tails. Shoot, and the galaxy will be free!" She told Tails who was alone on the bridge of the Blue Typhoon. "Cosmo..." Tails had streams of tears rolling down his face. "I-I can't! What will happen to you?!" He tilted his head down and started shaking it from side to side. After much persuasion from Cosmo and even Dr. Eggman, he had to give in. "Cosmo... I'm sorry!" Tails said as he pushed a button. The cannon fired, and sent Super Sonic and Super Shadow flying towards the target. There was a sudden flash of light, and then... "No!" Tails said out loud. "I can't think of those memories! I can't!" The young fox started to sob. Suddenly, the light around the yellow kit faded into the ebony of night. Little sparks of light dotted the sky, giving a little light. Upon seeing the night, Tails stood from his sitting position and started walking towards his home. He spun his twin tails that were his namesakes and flew towards the Mystic Ruins. A few minutes later Tails spotted his home. It was a small, two story house with a single car garage. However the only garage that he ever used was to the side of his house. His workshop, where he built all his inventions, Had a long runway at the front. It was lined with artificial palm trees that leaned to the side when he took off in a plane. Tails landed at his front door, and entered. Since there were no house burglars in the area, Tails always kept his door unlocked. When he walked into his kitchen, he examined a small flower on a windowsill. This however was a very special flower. Tails grabbed a bottle of rainwater and gave it to the plant. "It's hard to believe that this is all I have left of her." Tails said in a voice barely above a whisper. He gently stroked one of the pinkish red petals and reluctantly walked away. Tails looked at a clock. "Nine O' clock P.M." he muttered to himself. He went upstairs to his bedroom. when he entered, Tails slipped off his gloves and shoes and tucked himself into bed. After a few minutes, Tails drifted off into a deep and dreamless sleep. ----------- I know this one was kinda short. I will try to make longer chapters in the future. Up next, the other characters make their appearance in this story! *Yay!* ----------
