Secrets Suck

Disclaimer:I disclaim any claim I could claim to have that is negated by the disclaimer…or simply I’m pinching the character’s off Sega, to warp the minds of any readers.

Warning story contains bad things. These include:

• small amounts of violence (well at least it use to)
• Sails or Sonails (if you don’t know what I mean IMMEDIATELY CLICK BACK)
• A really warped sense of ‘Sonic reality’
• The ability to OOC any character at any given time.
• Sonic/Tails (I know I repeated it)

Secret’s suck

------------------------------------

Keeping a secret is hard. Telling a secret is hard. It seems you’re stuffed both ways, but that’s only because you’re assuming the worst. Sonic/Tails M for a reason (isn’t there always one anyway”

Me and Tails have always been close. The others say that we that we have a strong sibling connection. They're wrong. We're much closer than that, much, much closer, closer than either of us want to admit.

We love each other, not as brothers, but as lovers. I guess the strange thing is that no one has ever realized exactly how close we really are. We've been there for each other's low points and have helped each other recover from what ever the other's issue is.

When we first met we were both a mess, me, from fighting Robotnik on my own, and him, from his own existence. I remember our first meeting been a disaster with him freaking out whenever I tried to comfort him. It took a while for him to trust me. The poor kid though I was looking for...well...certain favours. Obviously I wasn't, but it took him two months to believe that and would let me look after him.

We each have our own weaknesses, and that is the reason we are so close. Before Tails found out about my phobia for water he use to be really depressed and would often ask why I was letting him stay. But after he saw that there were things I couldn't do, that he could do, he realized that I was an equal to him. A conclusion I'd gained the first time I saw him fly.

As time went by our relationship progressed. By the time we'd beaten Robotnik, Tails and me were like brothers to each other...well...he though of me as a brother and I felt...a bit more. I kept it under wraps though and pretended that he was a brother to me and nothing more...I didn't really need to bother when I think back. Tails mightn't have felt the same at the time, but it didn't take long before he did.

We'd gone up against Robotnik again on the floating island and were stuck in the underwater caves together. Man we were cold, shivering and lost. We had no idea what to do and we had to rest. I remember Tails and me cuddling up together in a small tunnel and Tails confessing his love. I realize now why he did it while we were trapped. He had made sure that I'd consider him and wouldn't abandon him, he always was smart...anyway I told Tails I did also love him and from then on it seemed that nothing could stop us. We were an unstoppable team. From that point onward we trusted each other regardless of the situations or risks.

After we'd gotten Robotnik into hiding and things settled down we decided to keep our relationship a secret to avoid any hate we could get from it, It was Tails idea and he wanted to pretend to be my brother and I was happy to pretend as well. Oh sure we still did things together in private, but to the outside world we were just brothers. It was a near-perfect relationship. Whenever Tails was upset I'd tell my friends I would help him and instead I dated him...I wasn't lying, but I wasn't telling the full truth.

I want to tell everyone but Tails still keeps on telling me not to. I am no longer scared of what my friends might say, but Tails still is. I have to help him before we both go crazy trying to keep it a secret... I hope Tails understands...

---------------------------

Tails was sleeping in my lap. It'd been another difficult battle against Eggman and we were both exhausted, but I'd decided that it couldn't wait. "Tails wake up" I quietly asked the young fox, asking quietly almost completely defeated the point of trying to wake him, but it worked. "I need to talk to you"
Tails however had other ideas and continued sleeping. Smiling, I decided to do something he couldn't possibly ignore. I lent down over his tiny frame and gently kissed his lips. It didn't take him long to wake. As soon as he realised what I was doing he threw his hands around me and kissed me back. Now that he was awake I pulled away from him. He tried to pull me back but I shook his head.
"Tails we need to talk. It's important"
His reaction wasn't quite as I expected. He turned away and hunched over. "I knew this day would come" he stated to himself
"What day?" I asked, completely confused.
"The day you realize that you either don't love me or decided that our relationship shouldn't continue" He was close to crying.
"No Tails" I whispered to him and hugged the sad fox to his chest. "I would never leave you. I just want to talk about how you want to keep it a secret"
"No Sonic" Tails begged again jumping to a conclusion.
"Why not?" I asked carefully
"Please Sonic. Don't tell them"
"Tell me why Tails" I almost begged
Tails turned away "They are the only ones who care about me. If they reject me I know what will happen. You will leave me to be 'normal' and then I'll be alone again"
"Tails. They would never reject you. The worst they would do is look slightly sick and have to leave for a few minutes to be sick"
Tails hit me, though not hard enough to actually hurt. "I'm being serious Sonic"
I hugged him in a bid to calm him down "Look Tails. You now that few things are serious to me, but this is defiantly one of them. Don't worry what the other's think of you. They aren't important and no matter what I will always stick by you"
Tails buried his head into my chest and mumbled that he was thankful.
"Do we have to tell them?" Tails mumbled into my stomach.
"Yes Tails. They deserve to tell them" I told him "We owe at least that to them, and anyway it isn't good for us to keep things like this to ourselves. We have to"
"Okay. But only if you promise to never leave me and will help me if they...don't like it"
"Oh course Tails. I will take full responsibility for everything"
"Thanks" Tails muttered as he rested in my arms. I rolled his eyes. If the fox though this could wait until I forget then he had another thing coming.
"Tails. I was planning on telling them now"
"Do we have to?" Tails complained
"Tails"
"Fine"

---------------------------

Sonic decided to start with Amy, why? I'm not sure, but he did. Anyway we arrived at her home unannounced early in the morning and knocked. Sonic could tell I was scared of her reaction so he tried to reassure "Don't worry T. Even if she gets angry I can easily calm her down. Don't worry"
I was still nervous so Sonic gave me a quick kiss. It made me feel heaps better. Anyway Amy opened up the doors and literally leapt at 'her' Sonic. "SONIC" She grabbed him into a stiff hug making me both angry and jealous. I waited a few seconds for her to at least attempt to get off him, then, when it became apparent that she wasn't going to stop I decided to intervene.
"Amy" I began trying to get her attention "We need to speak with you about something you won't like, so could you please let go of Sonic so we can come in?"
She sheepishly let go and let us inside, greeting Sonic warmly and not even acknowledging my appearance. I felt a bit annoyed she acted as such but I ignored it, I didn't want her to be in a bad mood for this.
"So what is it?" Amy asked "Did Sonic decided to finally marry me?" She really was an eternal optimist.
Sonic took a deep breathe and practically forced her to sit down. “Amy...I'm sorry but our relationship...isn't as deep as you think it is"
"Oh you're just shy" Amy dismissed completely ignoring him
"Amy...this is one of the reasons why" Sonic told her; probably realising she'd need some good reasons "You didn't even consider my point of view. I'm sorry. But I tried and it never worked out. Sorry"
Amy looked up at him confused "But what about our marriage"
"Let me handle it" I whispered to Sonic "I'll sort it but I need you out of the room so she has to at least consider my answers before she questions you" Sonic nodded and left. I turned to look at Amy. I knew I was probably going to get hurt by doing this but at least Amy wouldn't be unhappy with herself, though she would probably be angry at me.
"Amy" I began nervously "ME and Sonic are a lot closer than we told you" I sat down beside her "Me and Sonic are together. We started dating a few years before he ever met you. I'm sorry but Sonic...isn't interested in girls..."
Amy started at me completely surprised; I was surprised how small her pupils could shrink. "Y...you...a...and...him...You were...together"
I nodded and tensed to run in case her piko came out.
"Are you angry at me?" I asked cautiously.
She looked at me "A bit..." I was ready to run now "But I won't attack you. I can see why you two are together...It actually makes sense. It answers why he wasn't into me, why you only seemed happy when he was around, why you've been so stressed..."
I raised my eyebrows "You actually noticed. I though you would only notice Sonic"
She sighed "I admit that I have been a bit centred on Sonic but...well...I always though of you as...you know...someone to fall back on...if you know what I mean?
I chuckled "I hope you're going to be happy, knowing that Sonic found someone and you are still on the prowl" I was deliberately making sure to not mention Sonic directly not liking her and it was so far working well. Ideas are always believed the best if they are created by the hosts mind.
She smiled "I actually feel pretty good. I use to worry that I wasn't good enough for him. To be honest I think I prefer him to be with you than any other, male or female...especially female"
We were both smiling at the lame joke. "I'm going to get Sonic now" I told her. "I know you may want to speak with him, but don't take to long. We've planning on telling the others as well today"
She nodded and I brought Sonic back in and waited at the door before they beckoned me to come closer, Amy was smiling and looked slightly evil.
"Sonic, I want you to prove your love for Tails" she told him, I rolled my eyes. She didn't want proof, she just wanted to see us make-out, pervert. Still I moved closer to Sonic and we were soon tied together in a kiss. I looked at Amy out of the corner of my eye and could see her smiling at the sight. She was happy. No one could fake a smile like that, believe me I've tried. I’ve tried a lot.

We were still kissing as she got up and left us. I didn't bother telling Sonic she was gone; I was too busy enjoying the treatment. He eventually turned and found her gone. He didn't mind that I hadn’t told him though..

Anyway things went well at Amy's...but up next we went to tell Cream and Vanilla.

---------------------------

When we got there it was after 10AM and we were both very nervous. You see I was afraid that Cream could have a crush on me and I had no idea how to break it to her if I was...and Sonic was afraid that Vanilla could be homophobic...well actually I was worried about that as well.

I knocked nervously on the door and waited for an answer. However I noticed Sonic was nervous so I tried returning the favour he'd given me at Amy's. It worked well.

Vanilla opened the door and greeted us.
"Hello Miles, Sonic. Do you wish to come in? Cream is playing in the backyard" She let us in and me cautiously entered and sat at the kitchen table as she prepared us some snacks, she did the same every time we came over. She sat down in front of us and waited for us to begin. She could see that we had something important to tell.
"Um...Vanilla...Me and Sonic..." I trailed off unsure how to continue. She however was quick to pick up the slack and joined the dots.
"Let me guess. You and Sonic are lovers?" She asked kindly.
We both nodded, relieved she was taking it so well "How did you know?" I asked wondering what we'd done to give it away.
She chuckled "You two kissed as you were waiting at the door. I always check before opening it and just happened to spot you two. You look cute" We instantly turned red. "You came to tell Cream as well right?"
I nodded. "Yeah but we don't know if she is old enough"
"She is" Vanilla answered kindly, but rather bluntly "She has gone into space with you guys, I'm sure she is ready to know you two are together"
"But what about...you know...how we're two guys?" Sonic asked trying to act normally but failing miserably.
Vanilla's smile increased "Why would that make any difference?" She asked kindly. "You two love each other. That's what matters; well that’s what I taught her at least."
I nodded and left Sonic and Vanilla for them to continue the awkward conversation, to find my own with Cream. She was in the backyard playing with her Chao, Cheese.
"Cream" I hesitantly called out to the bunny "I need to speak to you"
She jumped over and pulled me into a strong hug which I returned.
"Tails. I haven't seen you since...since..."
"Yesterday?"
She grinned sheepishly "Yeah. So what is it?"
"Me and Sonic...we're..."
"Together" she completed my sentence "I already know. I'd have to be a moron to miss the looks you guys give each other. Most think you worship Sonic but I know it's more" I blushed heavily with her statement.
"Yeah we are?" I was nervous she was smiling a bit too much and kept on glancing over my shoulder. I span around to see what was behind me and found myself enveloped by Sonic's arms. He'd snuck up on me. I twisted and hugged him back as fiercely. I pulled him closer and soon I was being comforted in his arms.

After a few moments we broke apart. I was feeling so hyper. "See Tails, I told you that it wouldn't be a big deal. Vanilla and Cream already knew anyway" Sonic told me...lying completely. "Now come on, say goodbye, we've got to still tell Knuckles, Rouge and Shadow"
I nodded and turned back to Cream "Um...so goodbye then...um...I hope this doesn't change anything between us"
She smiled and rolled her eyes "I already knew silly. Why would anything change?"
I shrugged at her question and would've kept on talking if Sonic hadn't grabbed me from behind and took off with me in his arms.

They handled it well, but then I though about Knuckles, Rouge and Shadow. I know Knuckles may hate the idea of gays as it will probably be play some part of his ancestry and he could be extremely stubborn to new ideas, Rouge seems to hate gays as they 'take all the good men' as she put it, and Shadow was born over half a century ago, who knew how they'd take it back then.

---------------------------

I flew slowly to the floating island. To be perfectly honest I was scared of Knuckles reaction. Everyone who'd ever me him had seen his violent side and describing him as a hot-head would be the worlds biggest understatement, but then again he was loyal to a fault and would hopefully not do anything to hurt us...I hoped…and begged.

Sonic tapped me on the shoulder, breaking me from my mental argument, Angel Island was up ahead.

I gently touched down near the shrine. Knuckles was there to greet us. Sonic jumped out of the plane and was instantly comfortable and talking to Knuckles about our relationship. I nervously jumped out of the plane, hoping everything would be okay.

"Knuckles, Me and Tails are really close right?" Sonic started.
"Yeah. You two are practically inseparable" Knuckles added "Why do you ask?"
"Well...me and Tails are a lot closer than we told you guys" Sonic told him deciding to play with Knuckles mind first.
Knuckles raised his eyebrow "What do you mean?"
I was actually shaking. I knew that while Sonic could easily run from Knuckles, there was no way I could. If knuckles took this bad I knew I'd be his target.
"Me and Ta.." He noticed how worried I was and pulled me into his arms. "You okay?" He turned away from Knuckles for a second "Don't worry I will protect you if anything happens and anyway he's our friend. I highly doubt he will be violent" He hugged me as he turned back to Knuckles. "Where was I?...Oh yeah. Me and Tails are...how should I put this?...lovers" He stopped to gauge Knuckles reaction.
He was staring at me and then at Sonic then back at me. His expression was impossible to read, but there was a sliver of confusion.
"You two...love each other?" He was confused. That was good, at least he wasn't about to attack us
"Yes" Sonic confirmed "For over five years. We were scared of you, and the other's, reactions"
Knuckles looked into my eyes; he could see I was scared. "Calm down Tails" He commanded me, making a bad attempt to comfort me. Sonic had noticed my discomfort but had been planning on waiting until after to comfort me, but he couldn't wait any longer. He hugged me tighter and lightly kissed me. I relaxed. He could always do this to me. I instantly relaxed in his arms as he broke this kiss. He smiled at me and looked back at Knuckles. "He's calm now. Anyway you're not like...freaked out or anything are you?"
Knuckles shook his head "No. To be honest it was because of gay lovers that my race died out. Kinds silly really" He shrugged "If my entire race did it before me I guess its fine for my friends, and anyway you guys are my pals. I'd never hate you because of who you love. I'd have to be a real jackass to do that."
Sonic gave him a genuine smile "Great. Look I should probably leave Tails with you while I break the news to Rouge and Shadow. You don't mind do you?"
"I don't Sonic, but Tails will" Knuckles told him. I was really tired at this point "He will want to be there when you tell Rouge probably, but if you're going to tell Shadow then yeah I'll look after him"
Sonic looked at Knuckles confused "Why shadow?"
Knuckles sighed "I think the black hedgehog cares for Tails like brother, you know how the rest of us do, but he may think you're taking advantage of him and may try to kidnap him from you, so I'll look after him"
Sonic nodded "It's Tails choice. But regardless we're going to tell Rouge first. Come on Tails"
I jumped out of Sonic's arms and gave Knuckles a quick hug and a thank you for being nice then ran to get the plane ready.

---------------------------

Knuckles rolled his eyes "Nice kid isn't he"
"Yeah" Sonic agreed
"Yeah" He suddenly grew serious "Sonic I hope you're being careful. I don't want you to be trying to do anything with the kid before he's ready, and when I say 'ready' it's not when he wants to do it but rather when he both wants to do it and knows fully what it involves. Remember he's a kid"
Sonic frowned "I know that, and for your information we've not really gone beyond sleeping next to each other. Neither of us are ready for anything more. Don't worry. I would never do anything to hurt him. "
Knuckles nodded "Good. Just remember that if I hear that you've been bad to him I will not hesitate to fight you"
Sonic rolled his eyes, chuckling. "When have you ever hesitated to fight?"
"Smart ass' Knuckles mumbled as Sonic walked back to the Tornado.

Disclaimer: I disclaim any claim I could claim to have that is ne……okay I’ve done this once, stuff doing it again.

Warning…actually why am I bothering. You couldn’t have gotten here with out first going by the first warning anyway.

Oh yeah thanks to my reviewers for spending their time to boost my already oversized ego:

Suicuneluvr: Ctrl-C came in handy during that review, didn’t it?

DragonRider13025: Thanks. The chapter length may get a bit shorter though, but I’ll try to keep updating quickly. (Yep.I already broke that promise)

Tom from Down Under: How do you know if the reactions were realistic...hmm…oh and by the way did you see the Sydney fireworks this year? They so ruled, though the music choice was a bit off. I didn’t get a chance to see what Brisbane had…..okay that was slightly off topic…

Anyway let’s continue it.

------------------------------------

Keeping a secret is hard. Telling a secret is hard. It seems you’re stuffed both ways, but that’s only because you’re assuming the worst. Sonic/Tails M for a reason (isn’t there always one anyway”

As we were flying off, me lying lazily on the wing while Tails sat in the pilot’s seat concentrating on keeping the plane level, to Rouge’s home, I got a chance to wonder what her reaction would be. You see, in the past she’d often complained about gay guys taking all the good men, and I had no idea whether she’d be happy or not with our revelation. The idea of ruining the friendship we’d shared over it wasn’t something I was looking forward to.

Fortunately I didn’t get much time to fret over at as Tails has yelled out to me, telling me that we were nearing her place, oh well I guess we’ll just have to hope for the best.

When we got there Sonic was again fretting over what Rouge could do, or say. But to me I wasn’t really bothered, okay I found it embarrassing, but worrying about telling Rouge, well it didn’t really matter; Rouge had always though me too immature to talk to anyway.

When we arrived there however we found the door unlocked and open, and yet Rouge was very careful about security (she had thousands of dollars of gems and ruby’s in her home). We slowly entered the home, on our guard in case it was another of Eggman’s schemes.

We both breathed a sigh of relief when we found Rouge sleeping on the couch in her lounge room; a DVD still paused from last night (Alvin and the Chipmunks interestingly, apparently she loves the chipmunked singing). Sonic muttered something about how he guessed it had been a late night for her, but still it was after midday so I decided she needed to wake up. I gently shook her and whispered in her ear, asking her to awaken. "Rouge wake up" I whispered "I've got to talk to you. It’s important and I don't want to wait any longer"
The bat yawned and tiredly looked over at us "Why are you waking me up so early?" She yawned out
I looked at her confused "It's 2 in the afternoon" Sonic just rolled his eyes at her.
Rouge jumped up and checked the time. "It is? Damn there goes half the day. And what are you two doing here anyway?"
"We've got to tell you about us" Sonic started before he was cut off by Rouge
Rouge raised her eyebrow at me looking interested "What about you two?" She asked slyly
I gulped nervously; Rouge looked almost evil when she smiled like that. "Me a...and Sonic are l...lo...lovers" I was too nervous to get the words out properly.
Rouge stared at me for a few seconds and suddenly wrapped her arms around me. "Good on you, Tails. You've finally gotten yourself someone"
"You're not weirded out by it?" I asked nervously. I could see Sonic out of the corner of my eye struggling to not laugh at my discomfort.
Rouge shrugged "It depends. Are you gay or bi?"
"Huh?" I had no clue what 'bi' meant?"
"Do you like guys or guys and girls?" Rouge told him
I shrugged nervously "Well I love Sonic but I find...well...I find some girls I know good looking but really Sonic is perfect for me so I don't know if I'd like girls"
Rouge looked at me suddenly realising something. "How old are you Tails?"
"I'm not sure" I admitted "I was about 5 when Sonic found me so...I'd say about 14"
"Don't you know how old you are?" Rouge asked disbelieving. “How could you not know?"
"I was too young to remember the date I was born and well...I never had anyone to tell me when it was...but I know I think it's some time in Autumn…not sure of the year though" I told her.
Rouge slapped herself and mouthed ‘sorry’ to SOnic, obviously thinking about how she’d promised Sonic to not remind me of my past "Err...um...aren't you a bit young to be...you know dating another guy?"
I looked at her confused "How old are you meant to be?"
Rouge bit her lip "To be honest I have no idea but you should be at least mature" Sonic did laugh at that.
"I am mature though. Sonic said I was more mature than him when we...when we met"
Rouge smiled at that "True. You always have been the most mature of us all"
She suddenly gave me one of her evil smiles "How about we find out if you're gay or bi while we wait?"
Huh? "Umm...I don't know" I began and glanced behind me to see if Sonic was going to help, he wasn’t.
"Tails, it’ll be fine. I won't do anything bad to you. You might even enjoy it" She was still creeping me out.
I turned and looked over at Sonic
"...umm...should I?" I asked nervously
"Hmm" He was obviously unsure "If you want to I'm sure she won't go too far with you"
"To be honest I have no idea what she's gonna do...um...do you think I'll like it Sonic" I asked nervously.
He was chuckling quietly "Of course Tails. She's going to do really good things to you"
"Okay then, if it's okay with you?" I was still unsure but Sonic was there to convince me "Just try it Tails. You'll like it. Now I’m sure that Rouge wants me to give you two some privacy. So enjoy" He left the room to go run laps of the city.
"Okay I will" I had no idea what was going to happen but Sonic seemed to think I'll like it so I guess I'll have fun.

"Okay Tails I want you to lie down on my bed" I told the young fox, who did so by resting on his side. I rolled my eyes "On your back Tails. I'm going to make you feel real good. Tell me if it gets uncomfortable" I slowly helped him lie straight on the bed.
I lent over, slowly pulled his lips to mine and gently kissed him.
"Mmmgh" He struggled and I let him go.
"Don't do that" He remarked coldly and turned away, to face the wall.
I moved closer and pulled him into a gentle hug. "Why not? I know you like it"
At least he didn’t push me away. "No. Only Sonic can do that...no one else should" He seemed a bit distressed so I decided to try to work out why. Sonic would want to know why Tails was acting so weird when he got back.
"Why not?" I asked. (Yeah okay my persuasion skills suck) Tails had been known in the past for his explosive anger, so I was being sort of cautious…or at least trying to be.
"Not aft..." He stopped trying to answer. "I have bad memories of it and only Sonic can make them go away"
I nodded "Tell me what happened if it still bother’s you"
"Sonic’s helping me" Tails told me, his voice sad.
I laid down next to him and pulled him into a hug. I was surprised that Tails didn't mind and he actually moved closer.
"Tails, you have to tell someone. It's going to start tearing you up if you don't" She informed him.
Tails sighed loudly. "I’ve told Sonic”

He turned away from me and curled up. "I don't really want to talk about it..." He closed his eyes, ignoring me.
"Tails" I began “I could do something to help you?"
"Like what?" Tails asked, interested but wary from my earlier actions.
"You need to experience what the real experience is like Tails, rather that the skewed version you felt from them" I told him, hoping he'd at least think about my point of view.
Tails slowly uncurled and looked at me "Sonic is the one who makes me happy. He is helping me and eventually I will get to experience it okay. I admit that I might like it, but it just isn't something I want to do with anyone but him" He tried to roll back up but I pulled him towards me.
"You promised Sonic you'd find out if you were bi or gay so how about I kiss you. Nothing more" I manipulated him, feeling slightly guilty.
"I guess." He considered the idea "But if I don't like it you HAVE to stop"
"Of course Tails" I agreed then gently pulled him into a deep hug. He allowed me and settled comfortably into my arms. He was soothed by my gentle massage and soon he was nuzzling into the side of my neck. I smiled and gently moved myself down to his level so I was face to face with the cute fox. He caught on quick and cautiously moved closer and wrapped his arms around my neck, forcing me closer.

I let him pull me in and soon he was barely an inch from my face. He paused there, unsure whether he could do it. I waited, allowing him to choose for himself. After waiting a while he eventually closed the gap and pulled me close to him, and closed the gap between us, his lips gently brushing along mine. He was nervous, I could tell both from how hesitant he was, and how red he was becoming...well and how badly he was shaking. I felt his hands pull me closer and soon he was actually kissing me. He may not be all that skilful at it, but it still felt good. He slowly started rubbing his hands in circles on my back, massaging me. It felt so good to be kissing someone as sweet and innocent as Tails.

Both of us knew that we'd done what we'd originally started for and had no need to continue, but I was enjoying this, and Tails...well Tails needed this (Well at least I though so anyway). I felt his young hands move away from my back and behind my head, pushing me closer. I obliged and could feel Tails trying to get as close as he could. He pushed himself up against me harder. I pulled away and unlocked our lips, getting a moan of sadness from the fox (he didn't want to stop). "You liked that, didn’t you?" I asked, paying careful attention to his expression.
"Can we do that again? That was..." He trailed off wondering what the acceptable way to describe his feelings was.
I reached out and pulled him back into a hug. "Sorry Tails but we've gotten our answer, you are into chicks as well, my man"
Tails blushed and tried to make a joke of it. "I guess I wanted the best of both worlds"
"Just remember that if you ever want to go further tell Sonic and come round. I'll take care of you. I can see that you want to have more but we can't right now. Sonic will be back in a few and he’ll need you awake for the flight home"
I chuckled as I watched him move closer, blushing badly. The kid has a lot on his plate, but at least I know that he has plenty of help and if he was ever feeling sad he could easily find someone to make him happy. I let him curl up around my waist and waited for Sonic to arrive.

Where are the flames people? I though I’d have started a full out flame war by now…oh well.

Review for any reason you can think of peoples and I’ll get a new chappie soon.

Any complaints will be considered

Any flames will be copied and put online for all to laugh at. (Seriously though, I’m really looking forward to receiving my first flame and can’t wait to start a flame war)

BTW: as I was writing this I felt shocked at what I’d written. I can believe that a guy like me would write something so sappy…meh…I’m sure it’s just a phrase (that’ll last my lifetime)

Thank you

Warning story contains bad things. These include:

Sails or Sonails (if you don’t know what I mean IMMEDIATELY CLICK BACK)

A really warped sense of ‘Sonic reality’

The ability to OOC any character at any given time.

Heck its rated ‘M’ and I’ve posted ‘Sonic/Tails’ on the summary. Do I have to warn you any more? (Not to mention, this is the third chapter)

Tom from Down Under: Thanks for the review. I'll try to get it deeper. I hate it when Stories start out good then fail at the first hurdle. That reminds me (don't ask me how) do you guys have water restrictions where you are?

Here's some pointless notes:

Note: I’m not sure if I represented Shadow right. I watched a few episodes of SX and remember back to when I played the game, but I still don’t know if I got it right. Oh and anyone who found the last chapter shallow, it was because I had to censor bits of it as it got a bit over M15 at points. I’m sorry about that and if I have time I’ll fix it later (I won’t have time).

Note2: Okay just though you guys would like to know that the update will slow down after this as I’m starting my final year. This story will probably just become a side project to my school work. So, yeah, I’m hoping to keep updating, but don’t hold your breath. (Actually to be honest, the updates will probably speed up, as I can’t be stuffed studying. If I can get top of the class without studying I don’t see why I should bother)

(You can skip this next one it’s not important…actually you could’ve skipped all of these) Note3: I know you mightn’t care but I didn’t actually agree with the idea of people being gay. I actually wrote this story to work out why. And guess what? I write a completely fictitious story and manage to get to my answer. Go me.

That’s almost as bizarre as people believing a religion about aliens that was written by a SCIENCE FICTION WRITER.

Scientology The butt of everyone’s joke.

Anyway here’s the story:

------------------------------------

The ground shot by as we ran through the forest at speeds that few had ever experienced. Well I ran. Tails was sitting in my arms. Even he had trouble keeping up with me at this speed.

Neither of us actually knew where Shadow was currently, but we knew where he’d be later.

Maria’s Grave.

We just hoped he wouldn’t mind our presence.

-------------

Shadow knelled before the dark stone that proudly displayed the name of one that had long left this world.

“Maria” He whispered quietly to the only one he cared for. “I have allowed others into my life now and things are improving, and yet I still miss you desperately”

He fell silent.

“……….Sometimes I wish that it had been me that had died rather that you. There was so much good that you could’ve achieved…..but the same doesn’t go for me”

A quiet voice spoke up at that point “Yes it does”

Shadow span and found Tails sitting behind him waiting

“How long have you been here?” He asked his voice cold and angry.

Tails was actually rather scared at the sudden change in Shadow but quickly threw aside the fears. Shadow was a friend and it was unlikely that he would do anything. “I just got here” Tails answered him “Me and Sonic wished to talk to you but we can leave if you wish”

Shadow quickly surveyed the area but couldn’t locate the blue hedgehog. “Where is the faker?” he asked still angry at the interruption.

“Oh he is off on a run” Tails answered him “He figured that you would be more annoyed with two interrupting you than one”

Shadow snorted “I doubt it. The fake was probably restless. Face it kid nothing can stop that obsessive freak”

Tails frowned at the ‘freak’ comment but let it slide. “He stops for me” Tails answered simply.

Shadow looked over at him and gave him a look of pity. “No. He stops for food, Tails. The faker only spends time with you because he’s hungry”

Tails chuckled “You don’t know how wrong you are” He looked up at the black hedgehog. “Do you really believe that’s why he spends so much time with me?”

The hedgehog only nodded coldly in response. “He doesn’t care about you” He answered, his voice beginning to become soft as the dark hedgehog relaxed.

Tails sighed “He does care Shadow. It’s what me and Sonic came here to talk to you about”

Shadow rolled his eyes and looked down at the fox, pitying Tails’ situation. “I’m sorry to tell you Tails but he doesn’t care. I don’t think the faker thinks of you as a friend, much less as a brother”

“Hey shads” Sonic’s always over happy voice called out from nearby. The blue hedgehog sped over and instantly enveloped the fox in a hug, giving him a gently kiss, in front of Shadow.

The black hedgehog raised an eyebrow and looked at them in surprise.

“What the fk?” He muttered to himself as he stared at the sigh of the two intertwined supposed friends. “What is that faker doing to him?”

Sonic suddenly found himself flying through the air, thanks to a swift punch from Shadow.

“Hey” Tails started to argue before he was grabbed by the black hedgehog and felt himself being pulled through chaos control.

-------------

They emerged in a secluded part of a forest.

“What did you do that for?” Tails asked annoyed at what Shadow had done to Sonic.

“Hmp. He deserved what he got for corrupting you” Shadow told him, not even looking in Tails general direction. “Now you stay here while I deal with him”

Tails, realizing that Shadow was about to Chaos away, jumped at the black hedgehog and latched onto his torso. “No I won’t let you hurt him”

Shadow looked down at the fox slightly perplexed. “He has warped your mind, little one. You should kiss only a female, never a male. You should know that. The faker is corrupting your impressionable mind and taking advantage of you. I’m going to go make sure that he can’t do this too you anymore” Feeling that his point was made he pushed Tails away, though not roughly. “I must go now”

“No” The fox answered, his eyes narrowing. He grabbed the emerald out of Shadow’s hand before the black hedgehog could react, a feat actually which surprised Shadow. “Sonic hasn’t corrupted my mind Shadow. He has done nothing of the sort and I don’t want you to EVER even suggest such an idea. Do you understand?”

Shadow snorted “Looks like he has warped your mind further than I though. Don’t worry. With some therapy I’m sure you’ll be back to your normal, woman-loving, self”

Tails narrowed his eyes. “You have no right to talk about my relationship with Sonic in such a negative manner” Suddenly the emerald in his palm glowed brightly and a sharp blast of pure chaos shot at Shadow, throwing him back into tree. It may not have necessarily hurt him, but it certainly surprised him.

“Listen, Shadow, for once.” Tails began, the emerald in his hand still glowing, ready to release more attacks. “I love Sonic and he loves me back. He hasn’t warped my mind. He hasn’t confused me. I know that most people go for people of the opposite gender, but I don’t. If you really must know I asked him out over 4 years ago. It was my idea. Do you understand yet?”

Shadow looked at him like Tails had just stated he was crazy. “Why would you love HIM? He’s a freaking guy and…and well hell isn’t that enough. That’s disgusting. God, you are such a freak” He told the kid, not even bothering to hide his distaste.

The emerald glowed again in Tails’ hands and Shadow again flew through the air until a tree impeded his motion. “Right now you have two choices, Shadow” Tails stated angrily, and strangely calm at the same time. “One you apologize, forget your distaste, just pretend you don’t care and I pretend this never happened. Or two, you keep acting like a jerk and wind up with your head fifteen feet away from your body” In all truth Tails wasn’t actually planning on attacking Shadow, but the black hedgehog didn’t know that.

“Come again” Shadow asked, unsure what the heck was going on. As far as he knew Tails had never threatened anyone. Shadow couldn’t work out whether it was because Tails was telling the truth about the relationship between the two, or whether it was caused by what Sonic had done to the kids mind. Either way he realized that he’d better just apologies. He knew full well how powerful Chaos was in the hands of someone angry.

The emerald glowed brighter and Tails was about to release another attack when Shadow threw up his hands in surrender. He had to do it. Tails had the emerald, and, from what he’d seen of Tails prowess on Chaos, the fox could chaos away and leave him here, over three days run from civilization.

“Fine kid, I surrender. I’m sorry for what I said and I’ll pretend that I don’t believe that the faker is corrupting you. Happy?” He told the fox, his voice displaying how much he hated it. It was the first time he’d ever surrendered, much less apologized, so it was no surprise he managed to completely defeat the point, but regardless Tails accepted the apology.

“Good. I never want to hear that from you again. I’m not going to stop you telling others, but this decision is my own. I just want you to respect my choice and let it go. Okay?” Tails gave the hedgehog back his precious gem. “Now take me back. I’ve got to see if Sonic’s okay. I sure as heck hope you’re punch didn’t hurt my boyfriend”

Shadow, wisely, didn’t reply.

-------------

Sonic jumped up and got into a fighting stance as soon as he saw the golden flash of Chaos Teleport. He almost leapt at Shadow before he realized that Tails was with him.

“Tails. You’re okay” Sonic asked, surprised that Shadow hadn’t done anything.

“Yeah” Tails answered, smiling “Me and Shadow just had a little chat. That’s all”

Sonic could tell from Shadow’s expression, mainly since he was looking at Sonic as if he wanted him dead, that Shadow wasn’t all to pleased with what he’d had been told.

“Alright, Tails. So he knows and all. Doesn’t he?” Sonic asked.

“Yeah” Tails answered.

Shadow just turned and chaosed off before either could speak.

“What’s up with him?” Sonic asked

“He thinks you’ve corrupted me or something” Tails told him, frowning. “I don’t get why he was so negative about it. I know I’m just a kid but I’m easily a lot more mature than you”

Sonic shrugged “Even I second that. Don’t worry though Tails. I’m sure that he will realize that he was wrong”

“I hope your right, Sonic” Tails muttered to himself as they left. “If you’re not………I don’t want to know what he could try”

-------------

I want to hear your best insults so anyone who is feeling pissed, whether it’s at me or not, you can PM me and rant (or you could review one of my OTHER stories to flame). I’ve got little else to do but listen anyway (well apart from studying)…and it’s kind of funny some of the insults.

BTW: Does anyone find it strange that if Tails was a girl in this, rather than a dude, I could most likely get away with rating it ‘T’ or even ‘K ’? I guess that’s society’s view on gays. Weird, it is interesting isn’t it? I mean seriously, if you have two guys who kiss each other in a movie it gets a MA rating, but two girls it is an M, and a guy and a girl it’s G. Go work that one out. Apparently if you don’t stick to the status quo (HSM guess the acronym) you are doing something that is ‘bad’. Funny, really, people say that cults are brain-washing people, and yet isn’t society as a whole doing the same. Not that I give a crap. I think Cults should suck my….oops sorry. I’ve got to keep this ‘G’.

Yeah sorry about the rant, I’ll try to avoid it in future.

BTW I know this chapter is shorter but it got to the point I wanted it to. I have a direction that I’m coaxing the plot to get to but it is taking longer than I though it would.

Read you later.

Thank you

Come again

Disclaimer:Amazingly I don’t own Sonic and friends, if I did I would modify the GTA:SA engine and make a completely awesome free roaming Sonic game. All I’d have to do is mod the character models, make a few extra locations and script in the levels and dialogue…I can’t be stuffed though…where was I? ……

Warning story contains bad things. These include:

Sa……………..I can’t really be bothered warning you guys any more. Read the first chapter for the warnings.

CarleeAnnieLoL: Don’t worry my spelling sucks as well. That’s what a spellchecker is for. Oh and BTW thanks for the flame.

Anyway here’s the story:

------------------------------------

Well we told everyone and, rather amazingly, they all took it well…well not Shadow, but hey, four out of five is pretty good. I think Sonic was just as amazed as me that no one seemed to really care, heck; half of them already knew it. But Shadow’s reaction was still bothering me. He'd though that I'd been brainwashed by Sonic and I think he may still believe it, even after all I did to try and dissuade him. I'm actually rather worried that he is going to try and break me and Sonic up. I really hope that he doesn't though. I wish he could just accept that I love him but he just doesn't want to. I wish he could understand...

---------------------------

“Sonic, get up” Tails pleaded as he shook Sonic awake. “It’s an emergency”

Sonic tiredly opened his eyes “What is it Tails?” He asked sleepily.

“We’re in trouble” Tails answered as he thrust a newspaper in Sonic’s face. Of course it was too close for him to actually read so he had to push it backwards before he could actually read it. What he saw wasn’t in any way good.

“WHAT THE HELL?” Sonic swore as he read the abusive article, entitled Sonic the gay pedophile

He became increasingly pissed s he read the article. “They are calling me a freaking pedophile. Damn. Listen to this B.S..Sonic the hedgehog, a supposed hero, has been exposed as a pedophile by a close associate. The associate remarked that there were multiple occasions of him flirting with a barely six year old fox. Both Sonic as well as his brainwashed lover were unavailable for comment”

“It’s bad isn’t it” Tails mumbled, saddened that Shadow had done this to them.

Sonic pushed away the newspaper in disgust. “Please tell me this is a joke” Sonic asked Tails.

The fox sighed loudly “I wish.

Sonic took a deep breath to calm himself “This crap is all lies…Well I have flirted with you before, sure, but I sure as hell didn’t brainwash you”

Tails hugged Sonic “Were not going to break up are we?” He asked scared.

Sonic shook his head still pissed at the newspaper “Of course not. There’s nothing wrong with us being together. The public are just going to have to get use to it and Shadow is just going to have to keep his objections to himself. Damn this is going to make things even harder”

“Yeah I know what you mean” Tails agreed. “I mean telling our friends was okay as they knew us…but now everyone knows and they don’t even have the full story”

“So what are we going to do?” Sonic asked “I mean we could just leave it and hoe for the best, or we could go on TV and give the real story or…I don’t know….”

“I always wanted to be on TV” Tails mumbled to himself. He turned back to Sonic liking the idea of getting on TV “You know Sonic going on TV sounds like a pretty good idea. That way we can tell everyone that I started it anyway and you did the right thing by being honest”

Sonic shrugged “I guess. But first things first you have to ring that newspaper to complain”

“Why can’t you do that?” Tails asked

“Think about it Tails”

“Oh yeah” He understood “It won’t change their mind anyway and they could print another article about it…But while I do that you’d better talk to Shadow about this. I told him to leave it and he’s decided he just couldn’t drop it”

“What exactly were you two talking about?” Sonic asked, his curiosity getting the better of him.

Tails shrugged “He just though you brain washed me or something. I told him he was wrong and he shouldn’t be so mean…and I kind of threatened him to drop it or I’d fry him with pure chaos”

Sonic rolled his eyes “Why did you do that?” He asked, slightly exasperated.

Tails sighed “He was being mean and saying that you were brainwashing me. I got angry that he could say something so bad…so I sort of threatened him.

Sonic sighed “I guess I can’t fault you for that, I would’ve done the same thing. Well I better ring Shadow and try and sort this mess out” Tails left to call the newspaper while Sonic sighed loudly and picked up his phone to call Shadow.

--------

Shadow picked up almost instantly. “What do you want, child molester?” He told Sonic in a tone that clearly displayed his distaste for Sonic.

“Geez, Shads, what’s with the attitude?” Sonic asked, understandably offended. “Look I just wanted to call and ask you if you knew who talked to the media about my and Tails’ relationship”

“Why should I tell you?” Shadow asked coldly.

Sonic just rolled his eyes “Look Shadow. We both know you told them and we both want to know why?”

“You corrupted that child Sonic” Shadow told him coldly. “I had to let everyone know what their hero has done”

Sonic was getting understandably angry with Shadow but knew to keep his anger under check. “Shadow, just listen for a second, okay? What you’ve done doesn’t help Tails in any way. Even if you believed that I had corrupted, or whatever, Tails. This is only going to get me and him bad publicity and make news crews annoy the crap out of both of us. The ideal solution would’ve been to talk to both of us and allow us to explain the situation fully and then you could inform the police if you though I was doing something wrong. Or, if you found that it wasn’t bad, life could continue”

“…..” There was silence on the other end and Sonic was worried that Shadow hadn’t heard him.

“Um, Shadow, are you there?” Sonic asked nervously.

“No I’m here” Shadow’s voice sudden spoke up behind Sonic.

Sonic span around “What did you do that for?” He asked, annoyed.

“You said that I should’ve let you give your side. Speak” Shadow told him as if it were obvious.

Sonic just rolled his eyes at the hedgehog “Wait here, I’ll get Tails”

------------------------

I know it is short but I was in a rush. I’ll try to get the next chapter up quicker. It’ll have a confrontation between the lovers and Shadow. Find out how things turn out next tine

Oh and before I go check out this link:

www. fstdt .com/ fundies/

Some of these stupid comments make me ashamed to be a Christian. (And I actually checked out a lot of the quotes and they are real)

Sorry a bit off track there….I get started on that next chapter

Disclaimer: I just don’t okay. It’s Sega’s right to butcher the character’s of Sonic with terrible catchphrases and storylines, not mine to make them gay…oh well…I can dream

Warning story contains bad things. Check earlier chapters for the reasons.

I’m sorry I’m taking so long and had such a short chapter. I’m going to try and make up for that by getting this one out to you ASAP.

Anyway here’s the story:

------------------------------------

“Speak” Shadow almost literally balked to them as soon as Sonic and Tails had entered.

Tails just rolled his eyes. “Fine then. I love Sonic, I haven’t been corrupted by him, and he hasn’t brainwashed me”

Shadow stared at Sonic angrily “You have twisted his mind, faker” he told him irately.

Sonic just rolled his eyes “Do you honestly think that?”

“Yes” Shadow replied simply.

“Let’s get this straight. You think that I brainwashed Tails into loving me, Right?”
“Yes”

“And I did this when, exactly?”

Shadow paused for a few seconds to think it over “Tails said about four years ago and taking the amount of time I believe that you began your sinful deeds on the impressionable fox not long after you first found him”

Tails just laughed “Do you have any idea have stupid you sound?”

“What?” Shadow asked incredulously.

“Sonic was only 9 when we first met Shadow. I seriously doubt he wanted to dupe me into having a serious relationship with him” Tails told him almost laughing about the hedgehog’s stupidity “Face it, Shadow. Neither me, nor Sonic were ever going to follow conventional rules when it came to life. Neither of us really fit in with the world’s view of creation, what with my two tails and Sonic’s speed, so it is understandable that we don’t subscribe to the world’s views on love either. We don’t follow the conventions because they just don’t work for us. We weren’t seen as normal anyway so we allowed ourselves to find the one that was perfect to us, and not perfect to the world’s ‘moral’ views. I love Sonic, he loves me, and because of you few will believer us” Tails just turned and left, angry that the black hedgehog had turned their relationship into a media circus, slamming the door behind him

Shadow just stared at closed door. “I might have messed up”

Sonic just rolled his eyes “No sht, Captain obvious. You go sort out the crap you’ve caused and I’m going to help Tails” He left.

Shadow frowned as he left. “Even if I am wrong, I was only trying to help” He told himself “I don’t get why there so peeved at me. All I did was ring a few reporters and told them what I though”

---------------------

Sonic slowly entered their bedroom and found Tails curled up around one of the pillows possessively, the pillow damp with tears. Sighing he sat down beside Tails and pulled the fox into a warm embrace. Tails hugged him back and moved around so they were more level.

“Why don’t they like us?” Tails asked quietly “Why do they think that what were doing is wrong?”

Sonic just shrugged “I wish I knew.”

Tails huddled closer to him and rested his head on Sonic’s shoulder. “Do you think they will accept us?”

Sonic actually smiled as he answered “Of course, Tails. Give it time. Neither of us were all that accepted when we were younger, this is pretty much the same thing, isn’t it?”

“We know that, but do they?” Tails muttered to himself as he hugged Sonic tighter.

“They will” Sonic whispered to him “Until then we’ve just got to stay strong and hope they understand”

“Okay Sonic” Tails muttered “I’ll stay strong”

---------------------

Well there’s another short chapter. I know it’s short but I’m trying to also update quicker so you guys don’t have to wait weeks for a few thousand words when I can get you about a quarter of that every few days.

If you’re going to complain about the length, just realize that I’ve written it in under 90 minutes and that includes playing a bit with No-limits Sim. and searching for the lyrics to: “Come Get It”

I’ve been trying to work out what Simon was singing in “Come get it” at 2.40 and its faken impossible. Even the lyric places have just skipped over it. I’ve edited the pitch and speed setting and still can’t get it…oh well. If anyone knows PLEASE TELL ME.

I know it goes:

Girl, you are making me crazy!
I love it when you call me "baby".

[Something about it being impossible to get her out of his head
[Something else to fast for anything human to understand… and it may be the word ride at the end

They say we too young for lovin',

[No idea
but I'd really like to get to know you.
And I'm gonna make it hot, I'll show you.
Iy oh!

If anyone knows TELL ME PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm really sorry about the wait but I just got through my half yearly and they were slightly more important.

Author responses:

twilightseeker13: Yes, shadow is a bit of a retard(Shadow Fan-girl runs up and kills me). I’m not a big supporter of Yaoi either (That's actually a complete lie). But I saw it as my duty to make this a Yaoi story that was tasteful (actually that was pure luck). I think I managed. Oh and if you see where this is going you’re one step ahead of me. I have really poor planning skills. By the way, I noticed that you said twice that you don't usually support Yaoi. So either I'm really good, or you are a closet gay...Well I've done enough messing with you.

Tailsic: Err. Thanks. Either you're lying or I'm a lot better than I though. Personally I prefer your story Blind Love, and Tails Riders (Which reminds me, would you update that) Well enough with my hypocrisy, I did after all give you a 5-6 week wait on this chap- Holy. wow that's a long break. Sorry about that.

HolyNightmare: Thank you for being honest. Where is my grammar poor? It’d be a big help if you could show me where I stuffed up. By the way, I never actually chose Tails’ age (I normally leave things like that up to the reader to decide)…and anyway, even if I did choose 6, he had a girlfriend when he was 8 in Sonic X.

I though I’d make HolyNightmare happy by actually telling their ages. But first I've got to work them out.

When the newspaper said that Tails was only 6, it was incorrect (most articles like that are). That was apparent since Tails had said that he’d met Sonic more than 6 years ago (making him less than 0) and Sonic announces that they’d loved each other for ‘over five years’. Now since Sonic say that they admitted it when they were on emerald island in a cave (set during the fourth game of the Sonic franchise, if you include the two Tails-centric games) that means that Sonic was 12 (Sonic was 9 when they first met and four years have past, a year a game) when he and Tails hit it off and Tails is at least 4, if he’d been born when Sonic first met him. But since Tails says he has a past and is unsure about his birth we can add another 4 years (as per Canon continuity in Aosth where he says he is four) and this makes him around 8.

So therefore sonic was 9 and Tails was 4 when they first met.

Sonic was 13 and Tails was 8 when they got together (Tails was the same age as he was in Sonic X and that’s a minimum estimate)

Sonic was 15 and Tails was 10 when they realized that they really did love each other (2 years, making Tails 2 years older than in Sonic X).

Now another 4 years have passed and Sonic is 19 and Tails is 14, as a minimum (this part is optional). That's a five year age difference, bigger than I though it would be.

Whoa, that took a lot to work out. If anyone sees any errors contact me or add it in a review.

Actually to be honest the entire section above is kinda dumb as I leave it up to the audience to choose their ages, so feel free to add a few years to either age as the ones above are minimums.

Anyway here’s the story:

------------------------------------

The public are getting really angry with Sonic and I have no idea what to do about it. I mean, I am normally the one to solve our problems and stuff, but I can't thing of anything to help.

I've tried talking to people but it doesn't seem to do any good. They all think I've been brainwashed and it is really starting to get annoying. I've called up heaps of news programs but they always say they want a pre-taped interview and I know it's because their going to twist my words.

I'm running out of ideas...Maybe Vanilla will have some advice. She's an adult and adults always have an answer, though it's not always the right one.

The trip to Vanilla's wasn't as easy as it first appeared.

For some reason, some of the general public, strike that all of the damn public, weren't quite as understanding as I had hoped and people were starting to call me a fag, a dyke, and queer.

They weren't being nice at all. Luckily for me, I was still seen as a cute kid, so I didn't have to worry about anyone actually attacking me, they didn't want to be labeled as child bashers, but their insults were bad enough.

They all yelled their insults and were acting like complete morons. I even had a few come up to me and call me a devil child, I have no idea where they got that idea from.

Eventually I arrived at Vanilla's.

Tails entered her warm house with his tails dragging sadly on the ground.

"They don't like me" He told her sullenly.

Vanilla sighed "It's okay, Tails. They just don't understand. Let's sit in the lounge room and well talk about it. Okay?"
Tails sat on the comfortable couch that Vanilla indicated. "You shouldn't listen to them Tails. You know what you believe and you have all your friends helping you"

"I guess" Tails muttered, though he was marginally less depressed.

"Just ignore them, Tails" She told him kindly "Once the media get hold of the real story this will all go away"

"I don't think that's going to happen any time soon" Tails told her, still slightly sad, but a lot better than before.

"Then do something about it"

"What am I going to do?" Tails asked Vanilla "What can I do?

Vanilla chuckled "Kiddo, you and Sonic are practically world famous. You guys can do a lot of things"

"Yes. I know. But what should I do? I'm out of ideas"

Vanilla sighed "When things like this happen, the only way to really sort it out is to somehow get on an unbiased show and provide your side of the story.

"I was thinking of going on a TV Show but they all want to prerecord the interview and will probably twist it to suit their views not mine" Tails complained

"If you pick a live show there will be no problems with them twisting you answer" Vanilla told him.

Tails thought it over I guess that could work. If it's live, I could say whatever I like, and no one would be able to edit into something else.
"That could work, but what show would let us on"

"Um...there's Rove, Oprah an-"

"Oprah?" Tails asked disbelievingly "She's a girl. There's no way she'll understand me or Sonic"

"Tails..."

"Yeah"

"What am I?"

"A gi- Oh...oh...Maybe she can help us. But that Rove guy could to."

'Just choose one Tails. It doesn't matter which"

"Oh. Okay then. I'd better tell Sonic when he gets home"

"What's he doing at the moment?"

"I don’t know. He said something about getting on the radio or something"

Tails watched Sonic slam open the door, clearly in a bad mood.

"Tough day" Tails suggested knowing the answer

"What is it with these people?" Sonic complained as he threw himself onto the couch. "I've saved their lives so may freaking times and as soon as they suspect I'm doing something wrong they turn on me and won't even give me the benefit of the doubt. The damn guys at the Radio Station said they have a zero tolerance of gays. So we can't go on"

Tails could tell that Sonic was getting worked up so he quickly pulled his lover into a hug on the couch. "It's okay Sonic. I've been talking to Vanilla and she says that if we go on TV and explain to people, they'll all stop being so mean"

"Have you seen them, Tails? I swear nothing is going to stop them acting like that" Sonic complained, as he made to jump off the couch.

Tails forced Sonic to lie back down on the couch and gently stroked his lovers quills "Calm down Sonic. It'll all work out. All our friends are there for us and I'm sure that everyone will stop acting like idiots as soon as we tell our side of the story"

Sonic sighed "I just wish they would leave us alone. It's not like I'm hurting you or anything"

"They will, Sonic. It'll all be okay. Now just rest, I've got to make a phone call"

Quick vote. Should they go on the American show 'Oprah' or the Aussie show "Rove live' or another. Hurry and vote. I can't continue until you cast your vote. Well not without making your vote completely pointless ;)

Oh and review the story while your at it.
I won't update until ...well until I can really, but reviews help.

Oh and I'm REALLY, REALLY sorry for the long wait. Apparently the HSC is difficult.

Disclaimer: I disclaim any claim I may claim to have a claim to.

Warning story contains bad things. Read previous chapters for details.

Jay: I fixed that error and, well, thanks for the idea...but, sorry, majority rules.

suicuneluvr: I'm trying to update soon and good choice.

CarleeAnnieLoL: Sigh. Okay. I'll do that.

I'm not going to promise to update quicker (Murthy's law will force me to break the promise) so I'll just say that I'll try to update the story quicker.

Anyway here’s the story:

------------------------------------

Tails took a deep breath and shook himself in an attempt to prepare himself. He looked at the number Vanilla had given him, cautiously.

“Come on, Tails. Just press the numbers. Come on. It won't be too bad. Sonic will be there and you'll JUST BE DECLARING YOU LOVE FOR SONIC LIVE ON AIR FOR MILLIONS TO SEE AND HEAR. I CAN'T DO IT!!"

He dropped the hand-held phone as if it was made of acid.

"It's okay, Tails. You'll be able to do it" He told himself "You've got to. It can't be any harder than flying Sonic through a firefight at Mach two. Just pick up the phone. They want you on their show and will be nice to you."

He had slowly crept up to the phone and carefully reached over and picked it up by the aerial, as if it was a rat. "Come on, Tails. You've faced up to Shadow. Talking to a crowd can't be that hard"

Breathing deeply he carefully picked up the slip of paper with the number and dialed it.

Come on Tails He though to himself as the phone dialed his number and searched for a connection You may be nervous in front of crowds and have gotten Sonic to handle the press after each mission, but you are old enough to handle it. You're just scared of it, that's all. Stop worrying. Everything will be fine and Sonic will be there to help you through it. Just take a deep breathe and talk.

"Hello. This is the Secretary of Oprah Winfury from the hit chat show Oprah, How may I help you?" The secretary's pleasant voice reassured the young fox that he wasn't going to be treated mean.

"Um. Hello" He nervously began "This is Tails. I a-"
You're the guy Sonic has been brainwashing. Little guy, that mean dude has warped your mind terribly. You should know that you're meant to like GIRLS not other GUYS" The secretary told him kindly though with an extreme amount of misunderstanding.

"Wha...no I love Sonic" Tails nervously tried to tell her.

"No you don't, silly." She told him, as if she was speaking to a baby.

"I do. Can I please speak to Oprah?" Tails nervously tried to steer the conversation, the secretary's reaction was making him really nervous and he was already close to backing out.

"I don't know. She's really busy. What is it about?" The secretary's voice had changed to one of boredom.

"It's important. I wanted to come onto the Oprah show with Son-"

"REALLY?" The secretary's voice was back to one of interest...and really loud. "You want to come on the show. Maybe I could show you a few things so you can understand why guys are meant to be with girls" She told him suggestively, her voice turning into a cheap version of seduction. "I could show you a lot of things"

"Could I speak to Oprah. I have to speak with her, otherwise I won't come on the show" Tails told her, only slightly manipulating her.

"Of course. Just wait a second" The secretary's voice quickly turned back to the kind tone from the start. "Miss Winfury. I have a potential guest for your show"

Unfortunately Tails couldn't hear the answer, due to the phones bad connection muffling the answer into a completely incomprehensible mumble.

"What did she say?" He asked the secretary, nervously.

"She wants to speak with you" The secretary told him

Tails waited a few seconds for her to put Oprah on, and then kindly reminded the secretary. "...are you going to put her on?"

"Huh? Oh yeah. Here you go Miss Winfury" Tails listen nervously as the phone was handed over.

"Hello?" It was Oprah.

"...hello. It's Tails here. You know, the fox dating Sonic" Tails nervously told her.

"Oh. Hello, dear, I though I heard my secretary yelling something about you" She told him, her voice's cheerful charm managing to reassure the fox that she was going to be much nicer than the secretary. "How are you holding up? I heard that people weren't taking it all that well"

"I'm doing okay. I wanted to know if me and Sonic could come onto your show and talk about how we got together and stuff" He told her, his nervousness evaporating as he realized that she was understanding of his problem. "I figured that if me and Sonic got a chance to explain our side then people would understand and stop acting like immature idiots"

"When do you want to be on the show?" Oprah asked him kindly

"Don't you have to talk to your manager or something?"

"No. Of course not. I choose my guests not some manager. I'd love for you to come on my show" She reassured him

"Oh. Could we do your show live" He asked, his nervousness starting to return

"Sure, I guess. Why would you want it live though?" She asked

"All the shows that asked me and Sonic on wanted to prerecord the interviews and I was sure that they were going to edit them and use some creative license to make me and Sonic be something we're not. if it's live I know that no one can. It's not that I don't trust yo- well actually it is that I don't trust you...um...so we can we do it live?"

"Sure. I'll just tell the crew to get everything checked out and we can do it tomorrow. If you've got any questions just give me a ring, okay?"

"Thank you. Will you promise you'll be kind on your show?" He asked timidly

"Of course. I'll see you tomorrow" She told him warmly.

That was astonishingly difficult to write. I've going to watch a few Oprah reviews, or transcripts, and then I'll write up the next chapter.

Review if you want to give me any advice about how Oprah talks...or really anything that crosses your mind.

Disclaimer: I don't own Sega's stuff. Remember kids, stealing is fun...but court cases aren't, so don't get caught.

Warning: story has bad stuff. Read first chapter for details.

Tom from Down Under: Your choice. I leave it up to the reader to decide.

Holy Nightmare: I’m glad that you're enjoying it.

twilightseeker13: Sorry that the chapters are taking so long but I'm getting snowed under (metaphorically, I live in a warm climate) from other things and don't seem to have enough time to write it...and I'm starting to go gown in my grades (though it's not like I'm below average or anything, actually I'm above in all of my classes, but I want to actually do well). And also my wireless keyboard is running low on batteries...the stupid thing keeps not registering what I write.

Kitsune Disciple: I'd prefer if you were a hypocrite and point out all my flaws.

Specopsangheili: You name is harder to write that a CD Key for Windows XP, but thanks for the review. I'm glad my story is non-perverted and doesn't make you physically sick.

CarleeAnnieLoL: South Park probably isn't the best source for information, but good point. I'll go check YouTube...later.

Oh yeah, the majority of the 'facts' of Sonic and Tails lives are taken from Judas-Fm's stories (though I then threw them under the gayification ray). I don't know if they're right but it helped me when I needed to know locations. So if she is reading this I say thanks to her (Best stories ever)...but for some reason I doubt she'd be reading this, her stories more show the brotherly side of the two and I doubt she'd want to read about the two making out.

As I was writing this I noticed that it is really hard to accurately write Oprah's character. If I didn't get her right tell me and I'll have another go.

Anyway here’s the story:

------------------------------------

Tails peered around the fake wall, that separated the backstage from the studio, and watched as the three hundred strong audience entered the studio. The young fox was feeling extremely nervous, a fact supported by his quivering frame. Luckily for him, Sonic noticed his obvious discomfort and wrapped his arms around his love.
"Calm down Tails" Sonic quietly whispered to him as he pulled the nervous fox back to the lounge "No one is going to be mean or anything and I'll be right next to you through it all"
"But I'm so nervous" Tails complained, his voice wavering. "I do know if I could have so many people looking at me, I should never have got us this interview"
Sonic pulled the fox into a proper hug.
"It'll be okay. I'm gonna be right beside you and if you want I'll do most of the talking. Nothing is going to happen and if you want I could give you something that'll make you not have a care in the world"
"I won't do drugs, Sonic" Tails told him stubbornly.
"Who said anything about drugs?" Sonic asked innocently, a sly smile on his face.
"What are you on?" Tails asked, concerned that his one and only had done something stupid.
Suddenly Sonic tackled Tails and nuzzled into his neck playfully "The only thing I'm on is you" He told the cute fox as he captured his lover's lips in a kiss. Tails hugged the blue hedgehog and returned the kiss with just as much enthusiasm.
Unfortunately their little 'session' was interrupted by their interviewer, Oprah "Break it up guys. You're going on live in a few minutes" She told them as they sheepishly pulled themselves apart and tried to hide their prominent blushes. She just shook her head and laughed at them "Well I'd better go introduce you guys. Remember to come out when you hear me yell out your names, or the audience screams a whole lot. See you soon" She casually walked past them and out into the roar of the audience.
"Now, to calm you down" Sonic chuckled as he looked at Tails.
"Huh?" Tails turned away from the audience that they would soon be facing and found himself encased in Sonic's arms and an extremely calming kiss.

------------------------------------

"My next two guests are the dynamic duo who are the core elements of Team Sonic." Oprah's loud voice spoke commandingly to her captive audience as she slowly strode onto the stage. "There probably isn't a single person in all of Mobius who couldn't recognize them, however their past and their relationship is one of mystery to most. Before we meet them it is important that we first learn the history that brought Sonic and Tails together"
She smiled as she began to discus their history.

"The history of the two main members of the Sonic Team is a bitter sweet one. Sonic was born 19 years ago on South Island to a loving family. However tragedy struck when he was just eight years old. Both his mother and father were killed by the infamous Eggman. Sonic, angry at what had occurred, decided that he had to do something about it. He managed to free the entire South Island from the rule of Eggman. Unfortunately for the young hedgehog the evil psychotic managed to survive and he was forced to travel to West-side Island to verse the terrible megalomaniac. It was here that he met the young Miles "Tails" Prower. The duo grew up together, fighting Eggman and many years after they first met, they fell for one another. Tonight they speak, in their first interview ever, about their lives and what they have faced over the years. So please yell as loud as you can for Tails and Sonic"

As the crowd roared, Sonic and Tails strode out from behind the partition and both winced from the loud noise as three hundred screaming fans... screamed.

The duo sat of the couch, well Tails did. Sonic just had to have a go at showing off by running around the audience and Tails was forced to pull him to the couch. After they were settled Oprah began.

“It seems that everyone is asking the same question these days, are you to really together?” She asked, failing to keep himself from smiling cheekily at them

Sonic chuckled and turned to Tails "Let's demonstrate"
Tails gave him a playful punch "Just answer her question"

“Fine...spoil sport” Sonic answered “We have been together for 4...or 6 years now”

"Something like that' Tails mumbled, he was rather nervous before the audience, but he was growing use to the attention.

“Wasn’t Tails a bit young back then?” Oprah asked earnestly as she lent forward eagerly, She was very interested in their story and she didn't even have to pretend to be excited as they talked, unlike some of her other interviews.

“I was more mature than Sonic is now” Tails muttered, forgetting he was wearing a wireless mike.

“What was that Tails?” Oprah asked, hoping the fox was going to join into the discussion.

“I may not have being old but I’d been through a lot more than you have ever had to” Tails told her, somewhat angrily, forgetting the audience and cameras. “I don’t see why others have to say what Sonic and I have is wrong. We love each other and we’ll always be there for each other. It’s as simple as that”

Sonic gently stroked the back of Tails' neck to calm the fox down.

“Yeah it is starting to get a bit annoying. Especially those newspaper reports on me ‘brainwashing’ Tails” The blue hedgehog agreed as he continued the 'treatment' on Tails “If I was going to do that, I’d have to ask him how to first and completely defeat the point”

“Why did you wish to keep this from the public” Oprah asked

“We dec-” Sonic began.

“I told him not to” Tails cut in, he was more relaxed before the audience now, though the only reason he didn't just turn and run was because Sonic was there “I knew that people would just see the age difference and automatically assume the worst and completely forget all the good Sonic has done. I doubted people could learn to respect my wish to be with him. They’d all say I’m too young and how bad Sonic was”

“Sonic, do you believe that you may have pushed Tails into a relationship?”

Sonic shrugged “Don’t think so. You’d have to ask Tails. Don’t really see if it matters, you know, how we got together, all that really matters is that we both want to stay together”

“I asked him first” Tails interjected.

“Well, there is that too” Sonic agreed.

"And I'm getting sick of people thinking I shouldn't be with Sonic, he's practically the only person who's accepted me straight off" Tails complained.

Oprah smiled wider and turned to her audience "Alright, who here believes that they shouldn't be together, Hands up"
No one put their hand up,
"You guys have a lot more supporters that you realize" She told them.
"I guess' Tails muttered, his wireless mike still picking up his words. He moved closer to Sonic who subconsciously hugged him as the interview continued.
"The problem isn't too bad, most people are willing to just let us live our lives, but for some reason people object to us being together and being repeatedly told that my love is wrong can make rather irritated" Sonic told her as he discreetly pulled Tails closer.
"Do either of you regret anything?" She asked them kindly.
Sonic shrugged "Not really, I regret telling whoever went to the newspapers without letting me tell my side of the story, but it doesn't really matter, at least the fan girls are no longer chasing me"
"Tails, do you regret anything?" Oprah asked quietly.
The fox moved deeper into Sonic's embrace "Telling everyone. If they can't act like responsible adults then they didn’t deserve to know. Our friends understood and it would've been best if we'd just left it at that, can we go now?"
"Sure" She quickly turned back to her audience, or rather the camera in front of her audience. "If you would like to see any additional information about Sonic and Tails' lives go to our website and follow the links"
The lights on the cameras flicked off and she turned away from the cameras to her actual audience. "Thanks guys for acing so nicely today. Tails had a bout of stage fright before the show and I was worried that you'd scare him off"
She turned and left the stage and exited the studio with Sonic and Tails.
"Hey" Tails was annoyed that she would even think that he had stage fright, even if it was true "I was not"
"Sure you were" Sonic muttered to him
"Sonic" he whined "You're meant to lie and say I wasn't being a wuss"
"I'm not going to lie, Tails" Sonic told him "And anyway, It's not like I wasn't nervous before the show"
"I was too, Tails" Oprah informed him “The first time is always the hardest, you should've seen me before my first show. I was so worried I almost ran off the stage the first time I saw such a large crowd, Sonic actually did"
Sonic scratched behind his head nervously "I denied that"
"Sure you did" She told him
They were about to start arguing, and as much as that would entertain him, Tails decided to break it up. "Stop it. Thanks for letting us on the show, Oprah"
"Sure thing. It was fun and my producer is probably going to be really happy about the viewer rating and stuff"
"Great. Oh, Sonic, You owe me a proper kiss"
"I do" Sonic asked as he turned to look at his lover. He never made it that far. Tails tackled him to the ground and hugged him as tightly as he could.
Oprah giggled as she watched the two.
"I'll just leave you two" She mumbled as she walked out.

A/N: I'd normally say "Please Review" But you guys/girls obviously understand that I love reviews, so I'll stop saying it. I don't want you thinking I'm being condescending or anything. (I'm not really being serious here, actually I'm not being serious anywhere)

I hope I didn't make it too uncomfortable for the yaoi-haters reading this story, I wanted them to be close, but not over do it.

You know I was thinking to myself and I realized something, I have no life.

Disclaimer: Me no owny anythingy, so no sueingy me.

Warning:bad stuff, check previous chapters (to be honest it was as bad as it was going to get by the second chapter)

TeirusuSpin: I would like someone to beta my stories.

The Archaic Minister: No, I don't mind. Thanks for being honest. I believe my writing style needs to improve, so, once I finish this story, I'm going to have a go and rewrite it...mind you, I seriously doubt that Sonic would ever bother with correct grammar. (why am I writing this after you said you were never going to read this)

Chibi Chan101: It's a completely different story to yours, isn't it?

Tutis 75: Sorry, but that ain't gonna happen yet. You'll get what I mean after you read this chapter. Oh and thanks for the compliment. Interviews are hard for me.

CarleeAnnieLoL: I was actually going to have someone do that, but I didn't want anyone dead.

Sorry for taking so long. School work is taking up a lot of my time. (Why does that appear to be the same excuse that everyone uses on this site when they are slow? Can't they just admit they were too lazy to write another chapter?)

If someone wants to beta this, just do it and email me a copy.

This story has gotten over 3000 hits(total).

Anyway here’s the story:

------------------------------------

"We've finally told them all" I muttered to Sonic as I rested in his arms. It had been a long day. "I have no idea why, but for some reason it is more tiring to go on a talk show, than it is to fight Eggman."
"Now you know why I'm always so tired after those interviews" Sonic whispered to me as he gently stroked my fur.
"I guess" I replied as I gently kissed him back. "But, I'm not too tired. We could still have some fun"
"You've been reading those sappy love stories again, haven’t you?" Sonic asked as he rolled his eyes.
I smirked "Maybe. But the offer was serious. I do want to go all the way"
Sonic, however, wasn't going to say yes. "Sorry, Tails. But I'm too tired, and I want our first time to be special"
I though it over. "I guess it would be better if we didn't rush something like that"
"That's exactly what I mean. Thanks for understanding." He pulled me into a tighter hug and nuzzled against my neck.
"Oh no. I'm not letting you be the bigger guy tonight" I tackled him onto his back and hugged tightly. "I'm on top"
"You know if the others heard us they would think we were doing something completely different" Sonic told me, failing to keep himself from laughing
"Probably" I replied "But I don't care what they think. I love you and I can act how I want"
I pulled him deeper into a hug and the two of us stayed together like that for the rest on the night.

The next morning I awoke to find myself completely surrounded by Sonic’s arms. Chuckling to myself about how much of a kid he sometimes acted like, I started to push my way out of his arms.

Life was back to normal.

Well, to be more exact, the only change was that everyone knows that Sonic and I were now together. I guess that’s really the only difference.

I gave him a quick kiss as I left our bedroom and then got started on breakfast. I’m sure he’ll enjoy a nice breakfast in bed.

We were now officially, metaphorically, out of the closet. To be completely honest, Shadow’s reaction was just as much our fault, as it was his. And neither of us blames him for what he did. If I’d told Shadow properly and THEN had Sonic kiss me, maybe he would’ve understood what I meant before everything went out of hand. But as it is I guess it was a good thing that Shadow told everyone. Sure he threw us straight into the fire, but it was better than us putting it off for years.

But that doesn’t mean I’m ever going to thank him.

The experience wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. No one really hated us, they just didn’t understand, well, except Eggman, but that’s another story. If I get time, maybe I’ll tell you about it some day.

But until then, I’ve got a boyfriend to surprise and kiss.

See you later.

Miles ‘Tails’ Prowler

------------------------------------

Note: I’ve really got to stop changing my writing style.

Hang on, that’s the end? Wow. I actually finished something that wasn't a one-shot.

If someone asks for a sequel, I might just make one…if I’m not snowed under by the HSC.

Um...everyone reading this, do me a favor and review the story...you don't have to really say much if you don't want to, but it would be great if you did.

TAILS IS MINE! wow i have been reading to much yoai its affecting my brain... Samuri Yoshi 2009-04-11 . chapter 9 I liked your story.  It was verry cute and well thought up and i hope to read more from you. The draw back is you talk way to dam mutch and if you don't want to scare readers away get right to the story and cut the bullshit out. I rate this story A 10 out of 10 on my O HELL YA GUAGE felog 2009-02-20 . chapter 1 sequel please best sontails story ever  The Red Tail  2009-01-31 . chapter 1 Ok, so I'm gonna reveiw this now, even though I've read it before and couldn't be bothered. I'm going to start with the crit. PLEASE seperate the text so it's easier to read. Keeping it bunched together like that will lose you a lot of readers, believe me 'cause I know. But I have to also say: this fic is awesome! *Faves*, although I should have done that a long time ago.  pantedgieQueen13  2009-01-29 . chapter 9 I have to be an obsessed Sonic fan and correct you, so don't hate me. It is Miles "Prower" not Miles "Prowler", although I thought it was kinda funny if he was gonna pounce on Sonic right at the end XD  pantedgieQueen13  2009-01-29 . chapter 8 Oh, I wouldn't say you have no life...  Check out my page, and my series of sontails stories THEN decide if you have no life.  It was a very excellent chapter, and a very good fluff. Lol loved it! Sonic and Tails are so cute together! Sails forevah!  Boolean  2009-01-05 . chapter 9 Yah, sequel please! I enjoyed it. Umm…I can think of any witty comments right now. Oh well. Just more marshmallows for the mountains I guess. Again, sequel, pretty please?  Boolean  2009-01-04 . chapter 1 I have a low IQ, I qualify to flame you! ("I admit that I have been a bit [centred] on Sonic but...well...I always though of you as...you know...someone to fall back on...if you know what I mean?) You forgot the quotation marks at the end of this sentence, and “centred” is spelled wrong. How’s that for a flame! (I hope I wasn’t to harsh on the flaming.) Oh, and good job on the story thus far. Your really bringing the characters into the flow, which I like. Gonna go find some Sails, or Sonails as you would call it, on e-bay now.  DC111  2008-12-27 . chapter 3 I have to agree with your rant. Good story, by the way. Just make sure you keep your characters in-character. Tails yelling at Shadow and Shadow surrendering to him just sort of made me go, "Okay, that was a little weird." Aside from that, though, I like where this story is going. If a fic can keep my interest for this long, it's good enough for me. It's nice to see Sonic and Tails's relationship develop. I also like how everyone pretty much accepted it and there was no trouble... though I'm surprised Amy's not ticked, now that she can't have Sonic. By the way, heh, I was going to flame you at first just because you seemed to WANT to get flamed, but decided against it. Sorry if that disappoints ya, LOL. Anyway, good job so far.  Tuume  2008-12-06 . chapter 9 Awesome story. I liked how you presented the problems as they came and had the characters deal with them appropraitely. Though I must say, I didn't expect Oprah to be involved in this! Great job.  love-sama  2008-11-26 . chapter 9 I liked the story, it was awesome. =D I would say write more but its over, so you should write a sequel >.> Well, good luck with your stories!  pantedgieQueen13  2008-11-16 . chapter 1 I'm collecting sontails fics...and trying hard to start another one. Price of a Rose was successful yay! So, anyway...I really liked the concept, but the formatting sucks...why'd you murder it? Sonic: Because he's not smarter than me. Tails: That's not nice, Sonic (wags finger). Sonic: (glomp). Anyway, FIX THE GRAMMAR! Its killing me! And, get your pronouns straight! Other than that, it's cool. I look forward to reading the rest!  Patamon32  2008-11-13 . chapter 9 I don't know if you have written one yet but I say write a sequal to this story.
