The strengths of love and friendship

Chapter one, A fox on the rocks

On a cold, moonlit night in the mystic ruins, a twin tailed fox stood at the top of a cliff and looked longingly into the sea below.

Five months had passed since the Meterex had been defeated, however life still hadn't gone back to normal.

Neither Sonic or Knuckles had been seen since the battle, the Chaotix had moved their offices to Vanilla's house, Rouge had gone to travel the world and Amy and Cream had started a small bakery in station square together. Eggman hadn't even hatched any schemes for world domination yet.

But the one had changed the most, was Tails.

Tails had hardly seen his friends since they had arrived home and only left his house at night, he hadn't invented anything or repaired the Blue Typhoon. He hadn't even taken the X-tornado out for over a month.

Tails was depressed; he had been ever since the loss of his true love,

"Cosmo" breathed Tails, "Why did it have to happen? I just don't understand it". He had been asking himself the same question repeatedly over the past five months but he had never found an answer, his brain knew why it had been this way but his heart couldn't understand it.

Tails had gone to pieces, crying himself to sleep at night, he had hardly eaten anything and his fur was becoming grey through lack of washing.

Nothing had been going right for him, whenever he had attempted an invention he had given up half way through, his friends had abandoned him and his health was steadily decreasing, not even the seed Sonic had given him had grown, no matter how Tails tried it wouldn't grow one inch, he had taken to carrying it around with him.

Tails stared at the seed in his palm and his mind began to wander. It wandered to Sonic, it wandered to Amy and Cream, it even wandered briefly to Shadow.

But in the end, his thoughts always went back to Cosmo.

"We had so much ahead of us Cosmo, why did we have to throw it all away?" Tails asked the seed as if he thought it would answer. Tears began to swell in the fox's eyes "and I never even told you how I feel about you. I never told you…. THAT I LOVE YOU!!"

Tails screamed the last sentence to the stars with a mixture of pain and anger as he threw himself onto his back, sobbing uncontrollably.

For half an hour Tails just lay there weeping. And then he shakily got to his feet and walked to the edge of the cliff, staring down to the rocks below, suddenly remembering why he had come here in the first place.

"I will be with you Cosmo" thought Tails "no matter what it takes"

Tails breathed deeply, spread his arms wide, and hurled himself off the cliff…
