It was early morning. Tails was feeling numb, ever since he got back home. He's been isolating himself from the rest of his friends, including Sonic. How could he have done that to… Cosmo. Of course, it was for the sake of the universe. But, was that really the solution? He loved her. All those times they spent together, especially when they were preparing a party for everyone on the ship. Of course it didn't go like they planned, but everyone was happy. Tails even gave Cosmo that flower gift, which made her really happy. If only, she was still here.
Tails had to snap out of it, perhaps some coffee would help. He got out of his bed, and made his way to the kitchen. His house was a mess. Burger wrappers, soda cans, and other junk that would describe his house as a living pig stein. Finally, he reached the kitchen. He turned on his coffee machine, and waited for his coffee. He really needed to clean up his house, he knew it would be a matter of time before he would have an entire dump instead of a house. *BING* His coffee was done, he poured himself some coffee and added some sugar with no cream, he liked having it black. He then made his way to his shop, it was right outside his house. He unlocked the door and made himself in.
"Finally, least I can start working on what I last worked on before the whole Metarax stuff." Tails said as he sat down and started working
He was making some sort of power battery that would fire up his tornado more faster. But, something was preventing him to work. He looked at a picture of the whole crew on the blue typhoon at the party that was on his desk. He saw Cosmo and Him standing next to each other smiling. Why…
Tails yelled out of rage, and shoved everything off his workbench and cried. Just seeing that picture made him realize it didn't have to be like this where he was right now. Her dead. Just then, he heard a beep. It came from his answering machine. It was Amy leaving another voice message. Ever since they came back, His friends were worried about their foxy little friend. It wasn't just amy, many other of his friends left numerous voice messages for him. Cream and Cheese, Vector, Espio, Charmy, and even Knuckles. Who didn't seem to be the type of person leaving voice messages.
Tails groaned and played the latest voice message. Hoping it's not long enough for him to just shut it off.
"Tails, are you there? We're very worried about you. We haven't seen you in weeks, please answer us. We're here for you." Amy said in the voice message
Here for you… Where did he hear that before? Like, about a dozen times from other people.
"Good luck cosmo, and goodbye."
"I'll never forget you tails."
These memories. Why did he keep having them. He screamed once again and threw a wrench across the room, leaving a big dent on the wall.
He looked over at Cosmo's plant, that was standing on the workbench as well, but left untouched as tails was relieved. He had questioned about the seed that Sonic gave him after he shot cosmo. Was it her, or just a simple plant seed he found trying to find her?
He didn't know how to feel, he was angered how his best friend didn't find his love, buy at the same time, was grateful that he brought something that could be potentially be her.
Then, he heard a knock coming from the door. Tails wiped the tears and had enough energy to answer it. It was Sonic. His blue hedgehog friend actually came to see him.
"Hey buddy, long time no see." Sonic said with a smile
"Sonic…" Tails said
"Are you okay, Tails? Looks like you made a mess here." Sonic said as he noticed Tails messy workroom
"Um, sure. Yeah I am." Tails lied
"Tails… As long as I've known you, I can tell when you're lying." Sonic said
"No really. I'm okay." Tails tried to assure him
"Is this still about Cosmo?" Sonic asked with a serious face
"..." Tails was speechless when he asked that
"I figured." Sonic said
"Sonic, just please go." Tails said as he was about to close the door before something blocked it from closing completely, seeing it was Sonic's foot
"Nuh uh, Come on tails. Everyone is worried about you. Can't we just please talk." Sonic asked
"There's nothing to talk about. Just ple-" Tails was about to say
"Either we talk this out, or I'm gonna force you to come out and see everyone." Sonic threatened
Did… he just threaten his own best friend? He never saw sonic act like this to anyone besides Eggman before.
"Fine… But only for ten minutes."
