Umm… I don't own any of the sonic characters… they belong to SEGA I suppose... luckies! Please don't sue me :)
The first lonely star sat alone in the navy, cloud-filled sky. Alone it twinkled, with only the waxing moon for company. All was quiet and the whole world seemed to stand still, until the tiny snap of a twig broke the silence. Two small silhouettes dashed out into a clearing in the dense forest. They whispered to each other nearly inaudibly, trying to make as little noise as possible.
"Stay close behind me." said a hushed male voice, tightly holding the hand of the other dark figure. "It's dark, and you wouldn't want to trip… There are lots of old roots and rocks in this part of-"
"It's alright, Tails. I'm right here." replied a female voice, with the tiniest of giggles.
Tails felt himself blush, and the shy kitsune was grateful for the blanket of darkness which covered as far as the eye could see. Though he could only see a dim outline of the girl walking beside him, he knew her well enough to tell that her blue eyes were fixed on the unpredictable ground of the path, trying not to stumble. He smiled to himself. He imagined her soft face and short green hair. He pictured her petal skirt and top. As his mind's eye reached her gentle eyes, he froze the image. He had memorized every dash of Navy, every pale highlight in them from constantly staring at their owner. Cosmo. He continued to lead her through the forest, extremely conscious of her hand in his. They hiked in silence for a few minutes, until Tails stopped suddenly. Cosmo tripped over her own feet and stumbled into Tails' arms. He blushed again and helped her get her balance again.
"C-Cosmo! Are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine. Thank you. Are… You alright?" She answered, sounding shaken.
The silver sliver hanging high in the sky now cast a dull light onto the pair. Their eyes met briefly for a moment, before tails quickly looked away. He cleared his throat and began to speak.
"Um… We're here." He let go of Cosmo's hand and walked up a grassy hill. She followed him, again trying her best not to trip. Tails reached the top and sat down. Cosmo followed suit, sitting next to him with a smile. They sat for a moment, watching the moon and few stars which had escaped from the cloud cover.
"I-I've been thinking… And I wanted to… To tell me how you feel…" Tails smacked himself mentally. He took a deep breath to calm himself and wondered in annoyance why he could reprogram a machine to do just about anything, but couldn't talk to Cosmo without making a fool of himself.
"I'm sorry… That came out wrong. I meant to say tell you how I feel."
Cosmo smiled at him and put a finger on his lips to silence him.
"Tails," A sudden wind sent a chill down Tails' back. "You don't need to say anything." The wind got suddenly stronger and Tails shuddered.
"No Cosmo, but I want to." It blew even harder. Tails grabbed Cosmo's hands in his.
"I…" Tails had to squint because of the growing wind.
"LOVE…" he screamed. A sudden burst of wind caught Cosmo. It tugged her loose from Tails' hands. He snatched them again, pulling with all the strength he could muster. The wind fought back with just as much force. Tails cried out in panic. He lost one of her hands and grabbed the other, pulling with both hands but the wind was too strong for him to fight. It snatched Cosmo out of his grip and pulled her up into the air. Cosmo met Tails' eyes with a blank look on her face. The wind dragged up to the sky and out of sight. Tails watched the spot where Cosmo disappeared in horror.
"You." He collapsed onto the ground, his eyes brimming with tears.
"Cosmo…" He whispered. "Cosmo."
Miles Prower jolted up and opened his startlingly blue eyes. Wide awake and breathing heavily, he thought to himself 'just a dream'.
He looked around at his surroundings; his workshop. He had fallen asleep the night before, tinkering with a plant incubator. He blinked and wiped sleep from his eyes with a yawn, regarding the many tools on the metal table in front of him. He paused when his eyes met a tiny flower pot full of soil sitting on a tiny satin pillow. Living in the pot was a budding sprout, just poking its head out of a tiny seed buried carefully in the dirt. Tails lovingly stroked the little plant. Gently, he placed the pot inside the incubator, closing the door carefully.
"Grow up soon little seed."
He smiled down at the unborn baby. Cosmo's seed. It pained him to think back almost three months earlier, when Cosmo…
Tails flinched. Not thinking about it was the only thing he could do to not be overwhelmed with guilt
A/N:For anyone who never watched sonic X, here's a summary of what happened:
Cosmo came from space boom and crashed onto… Sonic's planet… and blahdadada… Tails fell in love with her (well sort of)… but tails had to umm blow her up to save the universe. Something along those lines. For all the sonic X episodes in english, look up the use "tehsonicxepisodes" on dailymotion . com.
Tails grabbed a jacket from a hook on the wall and zipped it up to his chin to protect him from the chilly November air outside. He pushed a button beside the hook and the massive doors (designed to fit machines of all sized) opened to the ceiling of the tall room. He stepped outside onto his front porch and pushed another button, this time outside which closed the door. Deep in thought, he slowly made his way towards the library, his second home since he learned how to read. When he arrived, he smiled at the librarian Rebecca. She returned the smile and waved at him pleasantly. He walked towards the "Home Care and Gardening" section without pausing, having memorized the library years back. He scanned the books on the shelf until he reached a thick book on gardening. With much effort he carried it to Rebecca, and hauled it onto the desk. She checked it out on her computer and handed it back to Tails. With much effort, he dragged it home and onto his bench, preparing himself to read the 731 page encyclopedia of raising a healthy plant baby.
"For Cosmo." He said aloud, and set to reading.
A/N: Oh my goodness :o! The end of chapter one I suppose… VERY short chapter, but please review!
