Author's Note: To those who read the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comics; remember in "Mobius: 25 Years Later," Sonic and Sally got married and had two kids and Knuckles and Julie-Sue got married and had a daughter? Well, Tails and Mina got married and had two kids. When I found out about this, I thought, "How did that happen?" So I've decided to write how I think these two fell in love. I hope you enjoy this story, even if you don't support this couple.

Chapter One

Tails' New Love

Tails opened his eyes as the morning sun shun through his window and on top of his pillow. He yawned as he got out of bed and took off his pajamas.

Today's a new day, thought the fox boy as he put on his shoes and gloves. He looked out of the window and saw that nearly everyone was out of bed already. Tails brushed his teeth and went downstairs for breakfast.

"Good morning, Tails!" said Rosemary, Tails' mother.

"Morning, Mom.

"I made your favorite, honey. Chili dogs!"

"Gee, thanks, Mom!" Tails sat down and started eating. "Where's Dad?" asked Tails when he noticed that Amadeus was missing.

"Your father went to see King Elias."

"Oh." Tails couldn't help but notice his father's strange behavior ever since he Rosemary arrived on Mobius from space. Tails continued eating his chili dog. It reminded him painfully of when he used to live with Sonic, his "big brother." Sonic's mother, Bernadette, would make chili dogs every morning and Tails and Sonic would sit down and tell jokes about Eggman. Sonic's parents treated Tails like he was their own son. Now that his real parents were here, it felt a little strange. Never less, Tails was still happy and knew that he would adjust sooner of later. "Thanks, Mom," said Tails as he finished eating. "I'm off!"

What should I do today? Tails looked around New Mobotropolis. The city was so beautiful. Nicole really did a fine job. Now, should I finish that new plane that I'm building or help Rotor with his new invention? Tails thought hard, but couldn't decide which. In the end, he decided to go to the Lake of Rings. Being there always helped him think more clearly. As he walked, Tails managed to say good morning to some of his friends. He said good morning to Bunnie and Amy as he passed by the market. When he reached the Lake of Rings, Tails climbed on top of the rocks and sat down. There, he thought for a few minutes and decided that his plane can wait. Tails stood up, but when he did, a small rock that his right foot was standing on slipped and he came tumbling down. "OW!" screamed Tails as he landed on the grass. "OW, OW, OW!" Tails looked at his right leg and saw a deep wound on his knee. Blood was oozing out. "Crap!" shouted Tails in disbelief. "Dammit!" Normally, Tails wasn't the kind who cussed, but seeing the condition he was in, who wouldn't?

"Oh my gosh! Tails, are you all right!?!" Tails looked up and saw Mina running towards him. He sat up.

"I'm fine," said Tails when Mina stopped. "It's nothing, really." He didn't want Mina to worry about him. Mina got on her knees and examined his knee.

"It's not serious, so we don't need to go to the hospital," said Mina. "I have some bandages at home. I'll take you there."

"No, Mina! I'm alright, really!" protested Tails, but Mina ignored him. She helped him up and turned around.

"Get on," she said. Tails stared at her.

"You want me to get on your back!?!"

"If you walk, the pain in your knee will only get worse!"

"But I can still fly –"

"GET ON!" Tails jumped. He had never heard Mina this aggressive before. Usually, her voice was soft and kind. Seeing he had no other choice, Tails got on Mina's back.

Tails never felt so embarrassed before. Everywhere he looked, people stared at him and Mina. He felt like a little kid, riding piggyback on Mina. Then, a memory crashed down on him.

Five year old Tails sprained his ankle as he fell down. He began crying uncontrollably when eleven year Sonic came by.

"Jeez, Tails," said Sonic. "Are you a baby or something?" Sonic picked up Tails and carried him on his back.

"I'm NOT a baby!" said Tails angrily between sobs. "Put me down and I'll show you!"

"You're in no condition to walk, Tails," said Sonic.

"Arrgh!" moaned Tails. "You're right. I feel like I need help all the time. I'll never become a Freedom Fighter!"

"Don't say that, Tails," said Sonic seriously. "Even I need help sometimes, but that doesn't mean I feel useless. You gotta let other people help you, even if it does make you feel like a little kid."

"We're here, Tails," Tails' mind went back to the present when he heard Mina's voice. Mina opened the door of her house and went inside. She placed Tails on her bed. "Wait here." When Mina left, Tails looked. This was the first time he was in Mina's house. Next to the bed were a drawer and a mirror. On the drawer was a photograph of Ash, Mina's boyfriend. 'I'll love you forever' was written on the photograph in Ash's handwriting. "I see you spotted my photograph of Ash." Tails turned around. Mina had come back with a bandage in her hand. She looked at the photograph sadly before she walked up to Tails. "Let's clean that wound first." After she finished bandaging Tails' knee, Mina sat down beside Tails. "I'm sorry I yelled at you earlier."

"It's okay," said Tails.

"I was just upset today."

"Upset? Why? What happened?" Mina looked at Tails before answering.

"Yesterday, I met up with Sonic. We stood there, talking and laughing, when Ash saw us. He got angry, and accused me of cheating on him. It wasn't like that! We were just having a friendly chat! Ash ran off and I went after him. But even though I can run fast, Ash disappeared before I caught up with him. This morning, I tried calling him on his cell but he wouldn't answer, so I decided to take a walk in the Julayla Memorial Park and I saw you fall off the rocks near the Lake of Rings." Tails listened in silence. He didn't mind Ash, but for some reason he wanted to punch that mongoose in the face after listening to Mina's tale.

"Why don't you go to Ash's house and try to talk to him?" advised Tails.

"Do you really think he would listen to me after what happened yesterday?"

"Of course! He loves you, I know he does!" Mina thought for a moment.

"Well…alright, I'll give it a try. Thank you, Tails." With that, Mina leaned over and kissed Tails on the cheek. Tails felt as though his heart had stopped. He became a little dizzy and felt his whole face get hot. "You better go home, now," said Mina. "Your parents will be worried about you."

"…right. Bye, Mina." As Tails walked back to his house, he had completely forgotten about helping Rotor today. All he could think about was Mina.
