Sonic "i Fight For Freedom" The Hedgehog When His Baby-ified Brother Exercises His Free Will (bites Him)

When you have a friend who is as silly as you are :3

In search of shelter

Tails, after hard work in the workshop, decided to have a snack, and at the same time sit on the couch and watch something interesting on TV. But his plans were disrupted by a loud knock on the door. Moreover, someone was knocking so hard, as if he was ready to break down the door with his fists. The young fox hurried to open the door before it was destroyed. "I'm coming, I'm coming," he said, but he was thinking: "I wonder who it brought to me?" But at the same time, he guessed who it was. When he opened the door, he saw his best friend Sonic the blue hedgehog on the threshold. — Hi, Tails! "Hello," he greeted, smiling distantly. It was obvious that the hedgehog was very nervous, as he was trembling slightly and breathing heavily. He was obviously running away from someone, since he was out of breath. "Hi, Sonic," Tails said casually. — Did you want something?

— What? What makes you think that, Tails? I just came to visit my best friend," said the hedgehog, smiling broadly.

— It's just that something tells me that you decided to come to me for a reason. Tell me what happened there.

Sonic sighed, no longer hiding his problem, and then began:

— Well… you know… Anyway… I need to hide urgently! At the last words, the hedgehog screamed, waving his arms.

— Let me guess… from Amy, right?

— Yes. So you're going to help me?

— First, tell me, what did you do this time to make her angry?

— Well… it was like this…

Memory

Sonic, whistling cheerfully, was walking along, not thinking about anything, when suddenly…

— Soniiiiiiic!

"Oh, Amy again… What does she want to show me this time?" — thought the hedgehog. His cheerful mood immediately disappeared.

— There you are, Sonic! And I was looking for you," the pink hedgehog sang coquettishly.

— And for what? He asked her. She pretended to hesitate.

"It's just that I bought a new perfume here… and I thought you'd like it, so I put it on."…

— Well, yes. There is a smell. However, he's a bit weak, so… — Sonic didn't really care, and he just wanted to get away from the hedgehog.

— Maybe I should put on some more perfume to make the fragrance stronger? Amy suggested and, pulling a pink bottle out of her bag, began to spray. The blue hedgehog actually smelled the scent anyway, but when his girlfriend sprayed perfume harder, the smell of perfume made his nose twitch. Moving his nose, he sneezed very loudly a moment later:

— Aaaaapchhoooo!!!

After he sneezed, he realized what had happened when he saw Amy's dumbfounded face. She blinked at her dress, which was covered with the contents that had fallen on her.

— Sonic … — the hedgehog gradually boiled with anger. — You just…

— Amy, I'm sorry! I… I didn't mean to! This is an accident!

— He sneezed on me!!! — she finished her speech, getting really angry, and looked angrily at the unfortunate man.

The end of the memory…

***

— Did you sneeze at Amy?! Tails was no less shocked by what he heard. — You're crazy! She'll eat you up with a bang!

— Well, I accidentally … — Sonic defended himself.

— They beat you desperately for inadvertently! And I assume you're looking for shelter from an angry fury right now?

— That's right. You're going to hide me, aren't you? Sonic asked hopefully.

— No.

— But…

— I helped you last time, and every time after that I had trouble in the form of disorder and mayhem in my house and my workshop, — said the fox firmly.

"But, Tails, please help me!" I was hiding where I could, but she found me! And all the time! I just don't know where to go…" and the hedgehog looked at his friend pleadingly.

— No.

— But please… Please… Please… — Sonic got down on his knees and put his hands together in a boat. — Ask for anything you want, just help me.

— No, Sonic. I've had enough of the past times.

— Taaaaaaaaiiiiiils, I don't want to die.… Please help me…" the hedgehog began to sob, at the same time grabbing Tails by the legs. He tried to leave, but it didn't work out, and Sonic, as luck would have it, continued to sob and beg for help. And then suddenly a woman's voice sounded from somewhere far away:

— Sonic, where are you? Come out and don't hide, I'll find you anyway!

Sonic looked at his friend in fright, barely hearing Amy. Tails sighed heavily and took pity on the unfortunate hedgehog.

— Okay. So be it, I'll help you.

— Thank you! Thanks! Thanks! — Sonic immediately jumped up and even wanted to kiss his friend in gratitude, but he held out his hands and did not let him get closer to him.

"No kissing, okay?" Come on, I'll find you a place to hide," and with these words, the two friends entered the house.

***

After a while, there was a knock on the door. Tails opened it and saw Amy Rose standing in the doorway.

— Hi, Tails. Have you seen Sonic? — Trying to look friendly, the pink hedgehog asked.

— Hi, Amy. No, I haven't seen it.

"Are you sure?" Something tells me he's hiding at your place. Will you let me look at your house? And before the fox could answer, she went inside.

"Actually, breaking into someone's house is bad,— he remarked.

— Well, consider that I came to visit you. After all, I'm your friend.

— A friend is a friend … but she just came to visit without an invitation…

"Did you say something, Tails?" Amy asked the question and turned around, squinting at the two—tailed one.

— No, nothing. It seemed to you," he replied hastily.

—Well, look at me,— she said, entering the kitchen, and then shouted:

— Yeah!

— What? What's there? Tails asked worriedly, also entering the kitchen. He looked at the girl standing at the table in disbelief.

— And you said you hadn't seen Sonic… He's here! And he's hiding somewhere…

— And what makes you decide?

— Yes, because only Sonic can leave crumbs behind when he eats! See? and she pointed to the crumbs from the eaten chilidog on the plate and table.

Tails sighed. But he told the hedgehog not to take his chilidog, because Amy is very observant, first of all. And secondly, the chilidog was cooked for himself, not the guest.

The girl, grinning contentedly, left the kitchen and began to inspect the rest of the inventor's house. She looked wherever she could reach: behind the sofa, under the sofa, behind the TV, under the carpet, behind the ficus trees, in the refrigerator, in the oven and many other places…

But she couldn't find Sonic.

She went into the bedroom and, noticing a lump under the blanket, grinned maliciously and began to creep up to the bed.

— Amy, stop! Tails shouted.

But the hedgehog did not listen to him, took a blanket and … was stunned by what she saw…

There was a big pile of pillows on the bed.

—That's a bummer…— she muttered, and then turned to the fox. — Tails, why do you have pillows piled up?

— Well, I forgot to put it back. That's why I was afraid you'd see my little mess. Hehe.

The pink hedgehog sighed and went on looking for Sonic. After searching the entire hangar, she headed to the workshop.

When she entered the workshop, she noticed the closet. As soon as she approached him, Tails immediately called out to her:

— Amy, don't open it!

— What's the matter? Maybe that's where Sonic hid? She reached for the handle.

— Yes, there are dangerous substances there!

— What?

— I specially store test tubes and flasks with reagents in this cabinet. You don't want to inhale the gases of these substances, right?

— No, I don't want to.

— Then don't touch it!

— good. I will not.

— let's go. I'll help you with the search to convince you that Sonic isn't here," Tails said, and Amy nodded.

They had just taken a couple of steps when they heard a sneeze. The hedgehog turned around.

"Pshaw," Tails mimed, as if he had just sneezed.

— Be healthy.

— Yeah.… Thanks," and the fox rubbed his nose for clarity.

And a moment later, the inventor also cleared his throat.

"Tails, are you… sick by any chance?" Amy asked anxiously.

— I'm healthy, it's just… I think it's all about the perfume," he answered her, coughing a little.

"What's wrong with my perfume?" — She was indignant.

— And actually, what did Sonic do to make you angry at him?

— I'm not mad!

— Yes? Whenever you look for Sonic like that, you're in a bad mood.

— Okay, I'm mad at him.… Because he sneezed on me! But what does my perfume have to do with it?

— I just think it was the strong smell of your perfume that made Sonic sneeze. Most likely, he didn't want to sneeze at you, it just happened. And it seems to me that he already feels guilty about it. But it's your fault, too.

— Me?

— yes. If you hadn't started using perfume with such a strong and odorous smell, this wouldn't have happened. Isn't that right?

"You're probably right," the hedgehog agreed with a slightly sad sigh. — I just wanted to impress Sonic with a new perfume.…

— Didn't you think that Sonic might also be allergic to one or another scent of perfume? After all, he might have sneezed because of it.

— I think I understand what you mean.…

"And you don't need perfume to be attractive." You're already a sweet and pretty girl," the fox tried to cheer up his friend.

"Thank you," she said, a little embarrassed.

— That means… Will you forgive Sonic?.. "What is it?" he asked.

— I think so.…

— Really? Sonic asked, suddenly jumping out of the closet.

"What a fool!" thought Tails, and slapped himself on the forehead.

— Sonic, what are you doing there? Were you hiding there?.. Amy asked in surprise. Sonic froze like a statue, sensing something bad.

— Were you hiding from me there?! — and immediately a huge hammer appeared in the hedgehog's hand. — And you said that you can't look in the closet! She screamed at the two—tailed mechanic.

"I didn't know he was hiding there," he said, trying to look like he wasn't involved at all.

— I'll deal with you later, but with you … — she turned to Sonic, who tried to escape, but froze when he was addressed, — I'm not done with you yet!

And the hedgehog, brandishing a hammer, chased after Sonic.

— Aaaaaaaaa! Thank you so much! Tails, help me out!

— I'm sorry, but no. I already helped you, Sonic, but you gave yourself away, so you can get out somehow," Tails replied and hurried outside, fully realizing that now these two will make a big mess in his house.

"I hope Krim won't mind if I come to visit uninvited," he thought, deciding to go to his girlfriend rabbit, and at the same time stay with her while the two hedgehogs resolved their conflict.

***

Meanwhile, the pink hedgehog continued to chase the unfortunate blue hedgehog.

— Stop there, Sonic! Wait, who am I telling?! Amy Rose screamed, smashing everything in sight with a hammer.

— Mommyyyyyy! Sonic yelled, dodging the formidable weapon in every possible way.

And so they continued the chase for a very, very long time.…

something small for wholesome sonic and tails wednesday before I go to bed...

don't tag as ship

Buttons

Warning: there is blood and horror in this fanfiction! It is recommended to read the story from the age of +12!

I was inspired to write fan fiction by the cartoon "Coraline".

As soon as Tails woke up, he felt as if there was a fog in his head. She seemed so heavy that I wanted to put her back on the pillow, close my eyes and sleep for a couple more hours. My vision was slightly blurred.

But still, the golden two-tailed fox cub got up and got off the bed, because he must have slept for a very long time.

Yes, that's the way it is. Outside the window, the sun was already at its zenith. Tails had been asleep for quite some time. Although he usually got up much earlier. Why didn't the alarm clock wake him up? Is it broken?

The fox looked at the bedside table that always stood next to the bed.

Weird… There was no alarm clock… Maybe Sonic took it away to let him sleep it off?

Here the fox cub winced a little, as he remembered a recent quarrel with his best friend and older brother, Sonic the blue hedgehog.

— Tails, how much can I do?! When will you stop sitting and working at night? It's bad for your body! — the hedgehog shouted at him then.

— But, Sonic, with this new Tornado generator, it will be able to fly even faster! I just have to finish working on it!

— Tails, do you see what time it is? You should have been sleeping in your bed and watching the seventh dream by now!

— Don't tell me what I should and shouldn't do! I decide for myself what is better for me! Tails shouted back at him.

— Tails, I'm your friend and brother, I'm worried about you! You're still too young, and you need to think about your health!

— I'd rather take care of my own! And stop patronizing me so much! I'm not small anymore! — the fox cub shouted, but still went to his room. — And you're nobody to control me!

Now, Tails felt slightly guilty that he had behaved this way towards his best friend, because he really just cared about him and worried about him.

— Taaaaaaaiiils! — soon he heard a familiar voice. — Are you awake? I've made you something to eat.

—Yes, I'm on my way, — Tails replied, and left his room and headed for the stairs. "Hmm... it seems to me, or has the house... changed?.." he suddenly thought, looking at the walls. — "I don't remember me and Sonic painting the walls again… At least the other day..." — and when he went downstairs, he saw various awards and certificates dedicated to him, which involuntarily confused the boy. After all, he remembered for sure that on the wall in the corridor, as well as in the glass cabinet on the ground floor, there were no awards and thanks from him. "Where did all this come from? Or am I still asleep?" he mused as he walked towards the kitchen. A pleasant aroma soon wafted out, and Tails recognized the smell of fried eggs and bacon, which made him smile. But after a moment, he was slightly surprised. - "How strange… Sonic doesn't usually cook breakfast for me, that's what I do... and there were always chilidogs for my breakfast..." Then he noticed that flicky's bird had flown up to the window. It would seem that such a thing? Yes, but looking closer, Tails noticed that instead of the usual eyes, the bird had black buttons, which are usually made for plush toys. But how is this possible? And Flicki, it seems, got tired of sitting by the window and looking at the fox cub, and she fluttered away. Tails shook his head. "It seemed, probably… After all, there is no such thing..." — but his thoughts were interrupted by the voice of the hedgehog:

— Taaaaaaaiils! Your breakfast will get cold soon! Sonic hurried him on.

— I'm coming! — and the little fox went into the kitchen. There was a plate of fried eggs and bacon on the table. Meanwhile, Sonic was frying his portion.

— Hello, my friend! How did you sleep? How are you feeling? — The hedgehog asked cheerfully and cheerfully.

— Hi, Sonic. I... I seemed to sleep well ... the mood ... is also quite good ... — the little fox answered a little uncertainly. He still felt guilty about his brother. — And how are you?

— Just fine, bro! I am sure that today will bring us a lot of joy and fun! — said Sonic. Tails nodded in agreement. Although it was a little strange to hear the last phrase of the hedgehog. Sonic, of course, is optimistic, but to say so…

Looking at his breakfast, Tails swallowed his saliva, it smelled so delicious. But his heart felt so heavy, as if there was a stone inside him. He should have apologized for his harsh and rude words to his brother.

— Sonic?.. Are you... not mad at me?..

"What are you talking about, Tails?" Sonic asked.

— Well... I was rude to you last night... and... you just can't imagine how ashamed I am…

—Oh, come on, Tails! I'm not offended! Whatever it is, I've already forgiven you!

— Really? Just like that? Tails asked incredulously.

— I've... said so many nasty things to you! But you were right that I shouldn't sit and work late, and I…

— What are you talking about, Tails! If you want to work on your inventions, then work for your health! Who am I to limit a genius inventor like you!

— Well ... I wouldn't call myself such a genius ... — the boy was embarrassed. — I just love inventing and working with mechanisms and machines…

— And you're doing it great, bro! You have an incredible mind and a wonderful talent! I'm lucky to have such a wonderful little brother!

— But… Sonic, you said yourself that for my..." he did not have time to finish, as he saw the same strange flicky with buttons instead of eyes again.

"What did I say, Tails?" Sonic asked, still standing with his back to me. And a small smoke came from the fried in the pan. It seems that the hedgehog somehow overdid his breakfast... or lunch, since it was already noon?

— Sonic, do you know what's wrong with flicky?

— Flicky? What kind of flicky?

— Well, he seems to have instead of ... — the fox cub glanced at the window where the bird had been recently, but now it was not there. — It doesn't matter. Haven't you already made yourself something to eat? Because... your scrambled eggs are burnt, I think…

— Oh, because I'm wondering where the smoke came from. Hehe. How forgetful I am," Sonic finally turned to his friend and put his portion on the table, opposite the fox cub. "Why don't you have breakfast yourself?" Come on, your food is getting cold, right?

— I don't think so.… I just wanted to talk first, and then start eating..." Tails looked down.

"Anyway, there's plenty of time, kid. I'm ready to listen to you all day," Sonic smiled at him.

"All day?" The boy frowned. — What about your run? Saving the world from... you-know-who?.. — He looked at the hedgehog and opened his mouth in fright.

"What is it, Tails?" Have I grown horns or a nose? Heh-heh-heh," he chuckled.

—Who are you...?". That's all Tails said.

— Who am I? — the hedgehog was surprised. — I'm Sonic. Your best friend and also your older brother. Or have you already forgotten that? Hehe.

— No, it's not… You're not Sonic..." Tails frowned, getting up from the table.

— Sonic doesn't have... — here his voice trembled, while the boy looked directly at the "Sonic", — bu ... bu…

— Buttons? — the hedgehog finished and smiled sweetly, poking his index finger right in his eyes. The pupils were green buttons located in the white whites of the eyes, but they also moved as if they were completely ordinary pupils in the eyes. Tails nodded and swallowed in fright, looking at his friend's doppelganger.

— Where's Sonic?.. Where is my brother?..

—Tails, Tails, Tails... — said Sonic, shaking his head. — I am Sonic. Your best friend. Your older brother.

— No, you're not him! Tails cried out. — The real Sonic doesn't have buttons in his eyes like you do! Answer me immediately, where did you put it? What did you do to him?

— Oh, Tails... — now the hedgehog got up from the table. — Don't you know that I am Sonic, only much better than the one you knew before? Didn't you want a perfect brother who would always understand and support you? That I would do anything for you?

— My Sonic may not be perfect, but he's still better than you, impostor! He also supports me in everything, tries to understand me and is also ready for anything! He just knows that sometimes boundaries and restrictions are needed somewhere! Even... if I don't like it, but it's the right thing to do! — He replied firmly. — So tell me where I am and bring me home?

— Tails, you're home so... — the hedgehog grinned. — But... still, you probably figured me out.… You are in Another world, but in a better and more perfect one than your real world. Here you will not need to worry about the forces of evil, because it does not exist in this world. Everyone lives in peace and harmony. Everyone is happy here. And all your various desires are being fulfilled. And isn't that wonderful, in your opinion?

— And if I want to go to my real world? Will this wish come true?

— And why fulfill this wish, kiddo? Your home world is too boring. Your "real" brother doesn't always listen to you, ignores you. There's always one villain or another trying to enslave the world… So stay here, little brother. I am sure that over time you will love this wonderful world.

— But what about Sonic? He's probably worried about me... And who, if not me, will help him? — Tails himself began to back away a little.

— Didn't he replace you with other people? Did you take someone else as a partner, even someone you don't know?

Tails involuntarily remembered that this really happened more than once, when others helped Sonic instead of a fox cub. Another Sonic, noticing the doubts in the boy's eyes, continued to press on this topic:

— And I will always need you. I will never leave you. All you have to do is agree to stay here, and this world will truly be your home.

— No, I don't agree! Tails snapped, glowering at the blue hedgehog with button eyes.

— What? — he was shocked.

— What did you hear! I remember that Sonic did this sometimes, but he didn't mean me any harm at all and didn't really want to offend me! He confessed to me that he was afraid for me when I almost died in one of the battles! But now I've become his partner again, and he'll never leave me in the shadows again, just know that!

The other Sonic, apparently, was beginning to lose patience, which already somehow restrained his anger:

— But you still deserve more, Tails! He doesn't appreciate you! Besides, here you will be a recognized and world-famous genius and scientist! Haven't you dreamed about this? Were you famous and popular in your world? — Tails remembered the certificates and awards he had seen. — Yes, and you like to invent! And your Sonic underestimated your potential and limited your capabilities! But that's not going to happen to me! Just agree, and you'll be the happiest child, I swear! — He insisted.

— My answer is the same! No! I want to go back to my real world! — The fox cub shouted. — Tell me where I can find a way out! Right now!

At first, the hedgehog just looked at him gloomily, keeping silent. And Tails felt a little uneasy.

— Oh... it looks like our little foxy wants to play, right? — Another Sonic hissed. His azure fur became darker, his needles longer and sharper, and his pupils turned from green to red. Tails trembled in fear. — Well... let's play my favorite game?.. — His mouth broke into a creepy, wide smile.

— In... what... is it?.. Two—tailed dared to ask.

— HIDE AND SEEK!!! — Another Sonic announced. — And the game starts right…

Tails took off on his tails and hurried out into the street.

— NOW!!! AHAHAHAHA!!!

Once outside, Tails saw how the once-blue sky turned scarlet, and the surroundings around him lost their bright colors. "Where is the exit? How do I get out of this nightmare?" he thought, not stopping working with his tails, and frantically looked around, trying to find something like a door or portal.

— Oh, yes ... I forgot to name some conditions ... — came the hissing voice of Another Sonic. But the fox cub could not understand where he was talking from, turning his head from side to side. — To make the game more interesting, you need to find a small cave in one forest. You will immediately understand what kind of cave it is, you will not confuse it with anything. But at the same time, you will have to try not to get caught by my assistants. If you go into that cave, you've won, and I'll let you go. And if not, and my assistants, or I will catch you myself, then you will stay with me... FOREVER AND EVER!!! AHAHAHAHA!!! — Another Sonic burst out laughing ominously. — Good luck, kid… You'll need it... AHAHAHAHA!!!

— The forest? What kind of forest? — Tails asked aloud, but they didn't give him time to think properly, when suddenly something attacked him with a loud cry. The fox cub somehow dodged the attacker, and then saw flicks, but only of a larger size and intimidating appearance, as a result of which the creature looked like a hybrid of a bird and a lizard. But what has remained unchanged is the buttons instead of the eyes. The creature screamed and launched another attack. The fox cub rushed forward, trying to get rid of its pursuer. But then, as luck would have it, other scary flicks appeared, gradually approaching him.

When the monsters were already very close, Tails dived down, thereby escaping from the feathered creatures, which collided with each other, forming one tangle, from where screams came and feathers began to fall out. Apparently, they decided to fight with each other. Well, this was in the boy's favor, and he hurried to fly away from them while they were busy. "These birds couldn't just attack me...", Tails reflected. "Most likely, they attacked so that I would not fly to where they came from... which means..." and it dawned on him. "So I was flying in the right direction! There's a way out!"

But then the cry came from behind him again.

"Oh, no! Those chickens again! We must hurry!" thought the little fox, speeding up. One by one, the winged monsters attacked the flying fox. Tails barely managed to dodge them and evade their attacks. But suddenly one of the birds scratched his hand with its claws. The boy cried out in pain. Taking advantage of his confusion, another bird grabbed him by the shoulders.

— Let me go! Let me go! Let me go, you brainless chicken! — Tails screamed, trying to escape from the claws, but they only tightened, blood ran from the wounds in drops. — THAT'S IT! YOU'VE MADE ME ANGRY! — Shouting, Tails twisted around and bit the monster on one of its paws, and it let out a heart—rending scream, after which it let go. The fox cub may have been free, but then another scary bird attacked him, he was knocked down, and Tails fell down. On the way, he bumped into something, he was scratched all over, until finally he fell to the soft ground.

— Find the boy...— Tails heard after a while, coming to his senses. His body ached and his wounds burned with fire. But he remembered that he couldn't give up if he wanted to go home. — Don't let him get away… And bring him to me... alive…

"Does he need me alive? But why?" — and it was spinning in the head of the young inventor. "Other than that, it's not that important.… I have to find a way out now..." he looked around. There were black, creepy, bare trees all around him. "And it seems that the exit is somewhere nearby..." he thought. The fox somehow got up, and then jumped up and took off. However, he could not fly at such a high altitude as he would like.

"Well, at least I'm flying, that's something," he decided and flew wherever he looked.

But suddenly he felt as if something had grabbed his ankle. It turned out to be tree branches. Tails tried to jerk and pull away from the grip, but his foot was firmly stuck in the branches. And then the tree began to pull on itself. Gritting his teeth, Tails darted forward, but it didn't help, and he continued to be pulled back. Then the fox cub grabbed the nearest branch of a nearby tree. It seemed that by picking up a twig, Tails gave a signal to the second tree, and it began to pull its twig arms towards him. And then the returning birds were right there and swooping down on him.

The two-tailed fox cub pulled out a twig with all his might, which he grabbed, and then began to beat the branch holding his leg with it. And who would have thought, but with his weapon, like an axe, he cut the branch into pieces. Immediately, howls could be heard, and they seemed to come from the trees themselves.

But Tails had no time to think, he just continued on his way, occasionally dodging attacking birds and trees.

But these opponents were not enough for him, so even from the ground he was attacked by monsters that, apparently, used to look more like ricky, tiny cute chipmunks and squirrels, and now resembled scary versions of lizard animals. One of these monsters pushed him, and Tails once again made an unplanned landing. While he was lying down, the monster ricky tried to grab him. But the fox cub got up and dodged him, and then swung his tails and beat off the enemy, so that he ran into sharp branches of trees that pierced through his flesh. Looking at the corpse of the monster, from whose wounds muddy green blood was flowing, Tails hurriedly turned away, because he almost vomited from such a sight.

But he could not relax, because they did not give him a proper rest, and he was attacked from different sides by both birds and animals. And the boy had to fight them off in every possible way.

It's good that he's trained in battles with Eggman, and these skills came in handy for him.

Some creatures were pierced by tree branches, either through the whole body or through the head, others just lay in a pile, and others were wounded by a fox cub stick.

But there were still too many enemies. And no matter how hard Tails tried, he was wasting his time. And this was further confirmed by the fact that the moon began to cover the sun.

Wait, the moon? No! It looked like the shadow of a huge dark button!

So there was a game for a while after all.

Somehow repelling the attacks of his pursuers, Tails hurried to get out of the clearing while it was still possible.

Soon, he noticed some kind of glow, and he rushed there.

"It looks like this is the way out!" — Tails was delighted when he noticed a hill, under which a certain cave was located. - "There's just a little bit left!" - he exerted his last strength to get out of this whole nightmare as soon as possible.

— Are you going far, little foxy? — Someone, or rather, it was Another Sonic himself, hit him, and the boy flew off to the side, tumbling a couple of times already on the grass. — What a fool little foxy you are ... — the hedgehog addressed him in a hissing voice. — But I wanted the best for you.…

Tails got down on all fours and looked ahead. The entrance to the cave emitted a golden-white light. It was a portal leading home. A way out of this madness and horror.

Then he was kicked, and he rolled a little further away from the entrance to the cave. The boy, looking at the demon, which is exactly what Tails thought this creature was, wiped the blood under his nose and stood up again.

— Why do you need me? What do you want from me? — He dared to ask the demon, who laughed terribly.

— Didn't you understand? I need you.… Because I'm... so lonely.… And I just need company... — The other Sonic broke into a terrible smile, showing sharp triangular teeth. His fur became even darker, almost black, and the needles became terribly prickly and sharp. So there were also sharp claws on the monster's hands.

— I... don't believe you...— Tails replied. — After all... you have pets.… So why do you need me, from another world?

— Heh. Yes, I have toys in my world that I created myself, — the demon chuckled. — But you know... these little animals are my creations, nothing more… With them... I'm free to do whatever my heart desires.… And it's boring with them… Therefore, we need someone alive, even if he is from another world... — the monster grabbed the fox cub by the neck. The boy tried to escape, grabbed the demon's arm with his hands, kicked his legs, swept his tails, but this did not give him any result. — And, you know, I was ready to do a lot for you, little foxy. I could have given you so many miracles, I would have become the best brother in the world. And you just had to agree... is it that hard? Say yes now, and you will receive a great reward from me…

— No... way... — said Tails. — You're... just... playing... with me... And how... tired... will you... kill... me…

— Come on, kid... — the demon drawled sweetly. — I'm not playing with you at all, and I wasn't going to kill you. Honestly, I just wanted to give you the best and most perfect life.

— I don't... believe it… Will you... sooner... or... later... kill... me…

The demon frowned. He started getting angry again.

— Okay. If you really want to know the whole truth and you can't be fooled in anyway... — he hissed. — I'll really kill you later, because I need your life.… I need someone who has a beating heart, in whose veins flows warm sweet blood, and who has such a bright and innocent soul inside. I feed on the life of these little and lost souls... — but then he suddenly sighed a little sadly. — But to be honest, I would like it to be in a different way, at least once it happened... — there was a flash in his free hand at first, Tails squeezed his eyes shut, thinking that he was going to be killed with it. But after a moment, the boy hesitantly opened one eye. He was alive. For now. But then he saw in the demon's hand... blue shiny buttons!

— Everything could have been much better and simpler, my little Tails ... — hissed the hedgehog. — But, alas, you left me no other choice... Yes, I must admit, you amused me with your audacity and boldness, even if I was counting on a longer game ... Hee-hee-hee…

"Does he want to sew buttons on me instead of eyes?!" — Tails was horrified and feverishly began to look for something with which to escape from the monster. And then he saw a branch below, which he broke and used as a weapon against the army of monsters. He took that stick with one of his tails, and then swung it sharply at the demon.

— GET IT, DEMON!!! — shouted Tails, stabbing a branch into the monster's right eye. Greenish blood sprayed, and the demon screamed shrilly. He released the fox cub from his grip, clutching his face. Tails hurried to the cave without hesitation. He was so exhausted from all this chasing and fighting, but still he tried to hold on until the very end. He took off several times, and then fell, after which he soared into the air again, but still little by little he approached the cave and this alluring light. "A little more! Just a little more!" flashed through his mind. And when the boy was just a little bit, just a couple of centimeters away from the exit, he was grabbed by the ends of his tails.

— You're not going anywhere!!! You can't run away!!! You belong to me!!! — There was a hiss nearby.

Tails didn't turn around and just threw sand and dust in the enemy's face, and then made a dash forward towards the light.

— No, waaaaiiit!!! You're miiiiiiiine!!!

A clawed hand stretched out behind him, but there was light ahead of Tails, and he squeezed his eyes shut, waiting to finally return to his home world.

***

Tails let out a loud cry of horror. His golden fur was soaked in sticky sweat. He looked around. He was in his workshop. He managed to return home. Or was it all just a terrible nightmare? The fox cub would really like to hope for the second option…

— TAILS, WHAT HAPPENED?! — Sonic came running to him. The real Sonic. No button eyes.

— Sonic ... — the boy was incredibly happy to see his friend and brother, and therefore threw himself on his neck and burst into tears.

— Tails, what are you doing? — the hedgehog asked perplexedly. — Did you have a nightmare?

— Yes... it is… It was so scary.… I just can't describe it... — he cried, clinging to a friend with a trembling ball of golden fur.

— Easy, easy... everything is fine ... — Sonic patted him soothingly on the back, looking tenderly at his younger brother. — I'm with you, everything's fine…

Tails began to calm down a little.

— I'm sorry.… I'm sorry for the terrible things I said to you.… I'm sorry... — the little fox apologized.

— It's okay, Tails.… I've already forgiven you, don't worry... — said Sonic calmly. — Do you see? I told you that you shouldn't have stayed up late in the workshop, — the older brother reminded at the same time.

— Yes, I see it now. You were right, — Tails sobbed. — I'm sorry.

— Nothing. Come on, I'll just carry you to your soft and comfortable bed, okay?

— Uh—huh, — the fox cub mumbled in agreement, after which Sonic, holding his younger brother in his arms, headed to the bedroom of the young inventor. On the way, Tails looked around. Yes, everything looks exactly like a real house. The paint was worn off on the walls, and there were no awards or certificates, or anything else unusual. So, he really managed to return home or completely wake up from a terrible dream.

— And now, — said Sonic, putting the fox cub to bed, — go to bed. You can sleep well, you won't have any more nightmares. If anything, I'll be there to protect you.

— Thank you, Sonic. I love you, big brother, — Tails said, then yawned.

— I love you too, my little brother,— said the hedgehog. — Good dreams and good night.

— Good night, — and then the fox cub, closing his eyes, plunged into the land of dreams.

***

— Go to sleep, my little foxy… Sleep sweetly and soundly... — the hedgehog whispered to himself. Buttons appeared in his ordinary eyes instead of emerald-green pupils, and prickly himself grinned insidiously. — I told you that you would be mine ... Heh-heh-heh ... — here Another Sonic picked up a plush toy that looked like a blue green-eyed hedgehog. — And now... no ONE can save you… Even your older brother Sonic, who is now also in my hands... Ha ha ha ha... — the demon laughed ominously, and then pressed on the toy with his claws, from which scarlet blood flowed in rivulets. And there was a full white moon outside the window, which was soon covered by the shadow of a giant dark button.

THE END?..

Дилемма Соника

Мне понравилась сцена после титров второго фильма про Соника, где появляется капсула с Шэдоу. Кто-то считает, что его слишком рано решили добавить во вселенную киношного Соника. Ну, а я считаю, что это просто классно! Я надеюсь, что третий фильм про синего ежа выйдет очень зрелищным и эффектным. И поскольку у Соника за два фильма не были показаны его настоящие кровные родители, то я предположила, что наш синий герой мог быть создан искусственно (впрочем это также основано на теориях, что Соника создали на колонии АРК, что мне также интересно), то есть практически являясь братом для ежа Шэдоу! Здесь написаны лишь мои предположения, как может выглядеть сцена с Соником и Шэдоу, которые тут являются кровными братьями. Надеюсь, что вам понравится читать фанфик. А также надеюсь, что что-то похожее будет и в самом фильме.

В колонии АРК было довольно тихо, пока в один из её коридоров не зашёл один гость. Синий ёж зашагал по длинному тёмному коридору. Его шаги еле слышно отражали эхо по всему коридору.

«Здесь так тихо и пусто… Надеюсь, что я иду в верном направлении», — размышлял он про себя, продолжая шагать. Вот перед ним показалась большая металлическая дверь, которая тут же открылась, пропуская ежа вперёд. Тот вошёл вовнутрь, и дверь за ним закрылась. Он оказался в огромном пустом зале.

Здесь, кроме пола, потолка, стен и иллюминатора, ничего было. «Так, не паникуй, Соник. Ты просто свернул не туда. Может, ещё можно повернуть назад?», — подумал он, пока его мысли не отвлекли звук металлических дверей и чьи-то шаги. Соник встал в боевую стойку, заметив приближающегося к нему Шэдоу.

— Оу. Снова ты? И почему я не удивлён? — задал вопрос чёрный с красными полосами ёж.

— Я здесь, чтобы остановить тебя и Роботника! И ты меня не остановишь! — воскликнул Соник.

— Ты зря недооцениваешь меня, самозванец. Очень зря, — произнёс Шэдоу, в его тоне послышалась угроза, от которой шёл мороз по коже.

— Вообще-то, это вовсе не недооценка, самозванец! Я многое о тебе знаю и представляю, на что ты способен, как противник!

— Не говори так, будто ты всё обо мне знаешь! — прокричал в гневе красноглазый ёж зеленоглазому, что аж на шкуре показались красные молнии.

Но затем он, глубоко вздохнув, успокоился и продолжил разговор:

— Ты уверяешь меня, что знаешь обо мне. Но уверен ли так в этом?

— Да. Тебя создали на колонии АРК 50 лет назад, затем пришли солдаты, которые убили здесь многих учёных, а эксперименты забрали себе и спрятали в своей сверхсекретной базе, в том числе и тебя в капсуле.

— Это лишь часть всей моей истории, которую ты узнал, синий ежонок. Позволь мне рассказать её, если так она тебя заинтересовала, — сказал чёрный ёж, при этом медленно расхаживая вокруг синего. Тот, наблюдая за своим противником, продолжал стоять в своей стойке, чтобы не быть застигнутым врасплох. — Да, моя история начинается с того момента, как меня создали. И произошло это даже чуть более 50 лет назад. Моего создателя звали Джеральд Роботник. Он был великим учёным, который стремился помогать людям. Но при этом он создавал различных существ, которые могли помочь ему в интересах науки. И среди них был я. Может, цели и были благородные у создателя, но все эти эксперименты я бы мягко назвал не очень приятным процессом. Однако помимо учёных и подопытных я встретил свой лучик надежды в этой проклятой тьме. Её звали Мария. Она была внучкой Джеральда. Мария похоже была единственной, кто действительно беспокоился и заботился обо мне, чем эти учёные. Она была моим единственным другом на колонии. — рассказывал Шэдоу и подошел к иллюминатору, положив на него правую ладонь. — Но её забрали у меня. Это произошло 50 лет назад, когда эти проклятые солдаты вторглись сюда! Тогда я взял свою подругу на руки, чтобы спасти её от надвигающейся опасности. Однако мне не удалось это сделать. Она толкнула меня в капсулу с улыбкой на лице и собралась нажать на рычаг, дабы только я сбежал с колонии. А потом в комнату вбежал один из этих гадких солдат и пристрелил Марию, когда она всё же успела нажать на рычаг. В тот момент, когда я увидел её окровавленное тело, её милое и доброе лицо, её прощальные улыбку и слёзы, я поклялся отомстить за неё. Поклялся уничтожить всё это человечество! — прокричал чёрный с красным ёж, искрясь молниями, и ударил кулаком по прочному стеклу.

— Я понимаю твою боль, Шэдоу, — внезапно произнёс Соник, и Шэдоу посмотрел на него, перестав искриться.

— Понимаешь? Меня никто не сможет понять.

— Но я правда знаю, каково это потерять того, кто был тебе дорог… Когда я был совсем маленьким, меня опекала сова по имени Длинный коготь. Она была для меня как мать. Но потом я случайно привёл в наш дом племя ехидн. Длинный коготь спасла меня, но сама пала от их рук. Долгое время я был один, а потом я встретил Тома, Мэдди, затем — Тейлза и Наклза. Они стали моей новой семьёй.

— Как они могут быть твоей семьёй? Они даже тебе не родня! У тебя с ними нет общей крови! И ты всё же называешь их семьёй? Особенно ту ехидну, собратья которой убили твою приёмную мать?

— Семья не обязательно может быть по крови. Главное, чтобы члены семьи любили друг друга и были готовы постоять друг за друга, — попытался объяснить Соник. Шэдоу лишь недоверчиво взглянул на него.

— К тому же Наклз не виноват в этом. И мы с ним отпустили тяжёлое прошлое, чтобы можно было жить настоящим. И тебе советую поступить также. Ты ещё можешь всё исправить, Шэдоу. Пойдём со мной, и я обещаю, что ты не пожалеешь об этом, — продолжил синий, а затем протянул руку. Но чёрный лишь хмыкнул, а после обратился к собрату:

— Знаешь, я тоже хотел тебе кое-что предложить…

— И что же? — спросил его Соник.

— Понимаешь, я очень давно хотел встретиться с тобой. Та наша первая встреча была отнюдь не случайностью. Я искал тебя с момента своего освобождения из капсулы.

— Хотел встретиться? Искал меня? Для чего? Ты хотел убить меня? — не понимал синий ёж.

— О, нет. Нет. Твоё убийство не входит в мои планы. Пока что. Дело в том, что мы с тобой одной крови, или, если проще сказать, являемся братьями.

— Чтоооо?! — крикнул Соник в шоке.

— Да, мы с тобой своего рода братья, семья.

— Но как? Я же ведь родился на Мобиусе!

— Тебе просто стёрли воспоминания о колонии и отправили на другую планету. Разве это не объясняет, почему ты вообще не помнишь своих родителей? Своих настоящих, кровных?

— Но если мы с тобой братья, то тогда мы не должны между собой драться. Я могу помочь тебе. Помогу справиться с горем, хоть это и не будет легко…

— Мне не нужна в этом помощь, маленький ёжик. Я скорее хотел предложить тебе объединиться со мной…

— Объединиться? Для чего?

— Чтобы уничтожить этих ненавистных и жалких людишек! — прорычал Шэдоу, сжав левый кулак, а его глаза в то же мгновение стали ярко-красными.

— Но ты же сам работаешь с одним человеком… Почему ты тогда работаешь на Роботника, если так ненавидишь людей?

Шэдоу на его вопрос зловеще рассмеялся, Соник же недоуменно посмотрел на него.

— Ха-ха-ха-ха! Неужели… Неужели ты думал, что я, Совершенная Форма Жизни, работаю на этого самонадеянного, самовлюблённого и высокомерного человечишку? Он сам, того не зная, работает на меня! — ответил СФЖ, а дальше продолжил, почти прошипев. — Этим учёным нельзя доверять. Они только и делали, что проводили надо мной различные тесты, словно играли с беззащитной зверушкой. Я их всех возненавидел. Если бы не Мария, то я бы их всех уничтожил.

— Но зачем ты хочешь, чтобы я присоединился к тебе? Ведь ты и сам знаешь, что я против убийства множества людей.

— Когда я тебя встретил, то заметил в тебе большой потенциал. Ты очень быстр, ловок, силён и владеешь самой силой хаоса. Вместе, мы бы стали непобедимы. К тому же, разве солдаты не охотятся за тобой? Уверен, они ни перед чем не остановятся, чтобы поймать тебя и убить, впрочем как и твою странную семейку… Разве тебе бы не хотелось им отомстить? Чтобы они больше никогда тебя не трогали, не угрожали тебе? Присоединяйся ко мне, и мы уничтожим их и других, кто лишил нас близких нам людей, заставим их заплатить за это, — и с этими словами Шэдоу протянул руку, как ранее это сделал Соник. Сам синий ёж же задумался.

Это действительно звучало по-своему хорошо. Если он согласится на предложение, то ему больше не придётся иметь дело с гановцами, и тогда он будет жить спокойно со своей семьёй и своим братом. Соник давно хотел узнать о своей семье. Настоящей, кровной семье. Узнать своё происхождение.

Чувствовать себя своим. Его мысли внезапно отвлёк Шэдоу:

— Соглашайся, брат, и мы станем одной семьёй. Разве мы оба не хотели иметь семью?

Брат. Кровный, родной брат. Так хорошо иметь похожего на тебя. Однако понимает ли Шэдоу смысл слова «семья», помимо того, что она одной крови? Разве станет Соник счастлив с тем, кто сосредоточен на мести? К тому же, черный ёж, если так ненавидит людей, то может убить и Тома с Мэдди. Тех, кто приютил и принял синего ежа в свою семью. А Тейлз и Наклз? Они хоть не одной крови, но они также его любят, как если бы были родными братьями.

Соник, размышляя все варианты, наконец таки решился…

Сначала он потянулся, чтобы подать руку, но затем отдёрнул её. Его сородич озадаченно взглянул на него.

— Я не могу, — ответил Соник.

— Почему же? — спокойно спросил его Шэдоу.

— Если ты используешь Роботника в своих целях, то почему вдруг не захочешь использовать меня?

— Ну, доктор является всего лишь пешкой в моей игре, а вот ты играешь гораздо большую роль, чем какая-то пешка. Ты почти такой же, как и я. Создан учёными, брошен, оставлен без дорогого существа.

— Но у нас есть так же и различия! У меня есть те, за кого я могу сражаться, в то время как ты одинок, обиженный на весь мир! — добавил Соник, и от таких слов Шэдоу оскалился и зарычал.

— Шэдоу, пожалуйста, ещё не поздно сойти с тропы войны и мести. Ты ещё сможешь найти своё счастье. Ведь если ты будешь держать в себе ненависть, злость, гнев и обиду, то никогда не выберешься в свет.

— Мне нравится этот путь! И я не отступлюсь! Лучше ответь мне: «Ты со мной или нет?».

— Нет! Хоть ты мне и брат по крови, но моя настоящая семья — это члены семьи Ваковски! И если ты посмеешь хоть кого-то из них тронуть, то БУДЕШЬ… ИМЕТЬ…ДЕЛО… СО МНОЙ!!! — прокричал Соник. Его глаза из зелёных стали голубыми, а сам начал искриться голубыми молниями.

— Будь по твоему. Ты сам выбрал свою погибель, — прошипел Шэдоу, тоже покрываясь молниями. Своими глазами, ставшими из алых в ярко-красные, он злобно посмотрел на своего брата.

А затем два ежа кинулись друг на друга, и между ними началась битва…

В поисках укрытия

Тейлз после тяжёлой работы в мастерской решил перекусить, а заодно сесть на диван и посмотреть что-нибудь интересное по телевизору. Но его планы нарушил громкий стук в дверь. Причём кто-то стучал так сильно, будто готов был сломать дверь своими кулачищами. Юный лис поспешил открыть дверь до того, как её разрушат. — Иду, иду, — сказал он, а сам думал: «Интересно, кого это принесло ко мне?». Но при этом он догадывался, кто это был. Открыв дверь, он увидел на пороге своего лучшего друга синего ежа Соника. — Привет, Тейлз! — поздоровался тот, вытянуто улыбаясь. Было видно, что ёж очень сильно нервничал, поскольку еле заметно дрожал, а также тяжело дышал. Он явно от кого-то удирал, раз запыхался. — Привет, Соник, — небрежно бросил Тейлз. — Ты что-то хотел? — Что? С чего ты это решил, Тейлз? Я всего лишь пришёл навестить своего лучшего друга, — промолвил ёж, улыбаясь во всю ширь.

***

— Просто что-то мне подсказывает, что ты не просто так решил ко мне зайти. Выкладывай, что там у тебя случилось.

Соник вздохнул, уже не скрывая своей проблемы, а затем начал:

— Ну… Понимаешь… В общем… Мне нужно срочно спрятаться! — на последних словах ёж закричал, размахивая руками.

— Дай угадаю… От Эми, да?

— Да. Значит, ты мне поможешь?

— Сначала расскажи, что на этот раз ты такое сделал, что разозлил её?

— Ну… Дело было так…

***

Воспоминание

Соник, весело присвистывая, шёл себе, ни о чём не думая, как вдруг…

— Сониииик!

«Ох, опять Эми… Что на сей раз она хочет мне показать?» — подумал ёж. Его весёлое настроение тут же улетучилось.

— Вот ты где, Соник! А я тебя искала, — кокетливо пропела розовая ежиха.

— А для чего? — спросил он её. Та притворно замялась.

— Просто я тут купила новые духи… И я решила, что они тебе понравятся, поэтому я и подушилась ими…

— Ну да. Запах есть. Правда, он слабоватый, поэтому… — Сонику так-то было всё равно, и он просто хотел улизнуть от ежихи.

— Может быть мне ещё подушиться, чтоб аромат был сильнее? — предложила Эми и, вытащив из сумки розовый бутылёк, принялась брызгаться. Синий ёж на самом деле и так чувствовал аромат, но когда его подруга сильнее побрызгала духами, то от запаха духов у него засвербило в носу. Пошевелив носом, он спустя мгновение очень громко чихнул:

— Ааааапчхииии!!!

После того, как он чихнул, он понял, что произошло, когда увидел оторопевшее лицо Эми. Она, хлопая ресницами, смотрела на своё платье, покрытое содержимым, которое на неё попало.

— Соник… — постепенно закипала от злости ежиха. — Ты только что…

— Эми, прости! Я… Я не хотел! Это случайность!

— Чихнул на меня!!! — закончила речь она, разозлившись не на шутку, и гневно посмотрела на несчастного.

Конец воспоминания...

***

— Ты чихнул на Эми?! — Тейлз был не в меньшем шоке от услышанного. — Да ты с ума сошел! Она же тебя съест с потрахами!

— Ну, я же нечаянно… — оправдывался Соник.

— За нечаянно бьют отчаянно! И я так полагаю, ты ищешь сейчас укрытие от разъяренной фурии?

— Верно. Ты же спрячешь меня, да? — с надеждой спросил Соник.

— Нет.

— Но…

— Я в прошлые разы тебе помогал, и каждый раз после этого у меня были неприятности в виде беспорядка и погрома в моём доме и моей мастерской, — твёрдо сказал лис.

— Но, Тейлз, прошу, помоги! Я и так прятался, где мог, но она меня находила! Причём постоянно! Я просто не знаю, куда мне деться… — и ёж умоляюще посмотрел на друга.

— Нет.

— Но, пожалуйста… Пожалуйста… Пожалуйста… — Соник встал на колени и сложил руки вместе лодочкой. — Проси чего хочешь, только помоги мне.

— Нет, Соник. Мне хватило прошлых разов.

— Тееееейлз, я не хочу умираааать… Пожалуйста, помогиииии… — принялся рыдать ёж, заодно схватив Тейлза за ноги. Тот попытался уйти, однако у него ничего не вышло, а Соник, как назло, продолжал рыдать и умолять о помощи. И тут внезапно раздался откуда-то издалека женский голос:

— Соник, ты где? Выходи и не прячься, я всё равно тебя найду!

Соник испуганно посмотрел на друга, едва услышав Эми. Тейлз тяжело вздохнул и сжалился над несчастным ежом.

— Ладно. Так и быть, я помогу тебе.

— Спасибо! Спасибо! Спасибо! — Соник тут же подскочил и даже хотел поцеловать в благодарность друга, но тот, выставив руки, не подпускал его к себе поближе.

— Только без поцелуев, ладно? Пошли, я найду тебе укрытие, — и с этими словами два друга вошли в дом.

***

Спустя некоторое время в дверь постучали. Тейлз, открыв её, увидел стоящую на пороге Эми Роуз.

— Привет, Тейлз. Ты не видел Соника? — стараясь выглядеть дружелюбно, поинтересовалась розовая ежиха.

— Привет, Эми. Не, не видел.

— Ты уверен? Что-то мне подсказывает, что он прячется у тебя. Дашь мне осмотреть твой дом? — и не дав ответить лису, она вошла вовнутрь.

— Вообще-то врываться в чей-то дом — это плохо, — сделал замечание он.

— Ну, считай, что я в гости к тебе зашла. В конце концов, я же твой друг.

— Друг-то друг… Да только в гости без приглашения пришла…

— Ты что-то сказал, Тейлз? — задала вопрос Эми и обернулась, глядя на двухвостого, прищурившись.

— Не, ничего. Тебе показалось, — поспешно ответил тот.

— Ну смотри у меня, — произнесла она, зайдя на кухню, а после крикнула:

— Ага!

— Что? Что там? — обеспокоенно спросил Тейлз, тоже зайдя на кухню. Он недоуменно посмотрел на девушку, стоящую у стола.

— А ты говорил, что не видел Соника… Он здесь! И где-то прячется…

— А с чего ты решила?

— Да потому, что только Соник может оставлять после себя крошки, когда поест! Видишь? — и она указала на крошки от съеденного чилидога на тарелке и столе.

Тейлз вздохнул. А ведь он говорил ежу, чтобы тот не брал его чилидог, поскольку Эми очень наблюдательна, это во-первых. А во-вторых, чилидог был приготовлен для себя, а не гостя.

Девушка, довольно ухмыльнувшись, вышла из кухни и принялась осматривать остальную часть дома изобретателя. Она смотрела, где только могла дотянуться: за диваном, под диваном, за телевизором, под ковром, за фикусами, в холодильнике, в духовке и ещё многих других местах…

Да только Соника она не могла найти.

Она зашла в спальню и, заметив, бугор под одеялом, злобно усмехнувшись, начала подкрадываться к кровати.

— Эми, стой! — крикнул Тейлз.

Но ежиха его не послушала, взяла одеяло и…остолбенела от увиденного…

На постели лежала большая куча подушек.

— Вот облом… — пробурчала она, а потом обернулась к лису. — Тейлз, почему у тебя подушки кучей лежат?

— Ну, забыл убрать на место. Я потому и испугался, что ты увидишь мой небольшой беспорядок. Хехе.

Розовая ежиха вздохнула и пошла дальше искать Соника. Облазив весь ангар, она направилась в мастерскую.

Войдя в мастерскую, она обратила внимание на шкаф. Как только она подошла к нему, Тейлз тут же её окликнул:

— Эми, не открывай!

— А в чём дело? Может, именно там спрятался Соник? — она потянулась к ручке.

— Да там опасные вещества!

— Что?

— Я специально храню пробирки и колбы с реактивами вот в этом шкафу. Ты же не хочешь надышаться газами этих веществ, верно?

— Нет, не хочу.

— Тогда не трогай!

— Хорошо. Не буду.

— Пойдём. Я помогу тебе в поисках, дабы убедить тебя, что Соника здесь нет, — произнёс Тейлз, и Эми кивнула.

Только они сделали пару шагов, как раздался чих. Ежиха обернулась.

— Пчхи, — изобразил Тейлз для вида, будто это он только что чихнул.

— Будь здоров.

— Ага… Спасибо, — и лис для наглядности потёр нос.

А спустя мгновение изобретатель также и прокашлялся.

— Тейлз, а ты случаем… Не заболел? — забеспокоилась Эми.

— Я здоров, просто… Я думаю, что всё дело в духах, — немного покашливая, ответил он ей.

— А что не так с моими духами? — возмутилась та.

— А собственно, что сделал Соник, что ты разозлилась на его?

— Я не разозлилась!

— Да? Всякий раз, когда ты ищешь так Соника, то ты именно в плохом настроении.

— Ладно, разозлилась на него… Потому что он чихнул на меня! Но причём тут мои духи?

— Просто я думаю, что из-за сильного запаха твоих духов Соник и чихнул. Скорее всего, он не хотел именно на тебя чихать, просто так вышло. И мне кажется, что он и так чувствует себя виноватым за это. Но и ты тут тоже виновата.

— Я?

— Да. Если бы ты не стала использовать духи с таким сильным и пахучим запахом, то этого бы не случилось. Разве не так?

— Наверное, ты прав, — согласилась ежиха, слегка грустно вздохнув. — Я просто хотела впечатлить Соника новыми духами…

— А ты не подумала, что у Соника также могла быть аллергия на тот или иной запах духов? В конце концов, он мог и из-за этого чихнуть.

— Думаю, я поняла, что ты имеешь ввиду…

— Да тебе и не нужны духи, чтобы быть привлекательной. Ты и так милая и симпатичная девушка, — попытался подбодрить подругу лис.

— Спасибо, — произнесла она, немного смутившись.

— Значит… Ты простишь Соника?.. — поинтересовался он.

— Думаю, да…

— Правда? — задал вопрос Соник, неожиданно выскочив из шкафа.

«Вот дурак!» — подумал Тейлз, и шлёпнул себя по лбу.

— Соник, а ты что там делаешь? Неужели ты там прятался?.. — удивлённо спросила Эми. Соник замер, как истукан, предчувствуя что-то нехорошое.

— Ты там прятался от меняяяя?! — и тут же в руке ежихи появился огромный молот. — А ты говорил, что в шкаф нельзя заглядывать! — взвизгнула она, обращаясь к двухвостому механику.

— А я и не знал, что он там прятался, — промолвил он, стараясь показать своим видом, что вообще в этом не замешан.

— С тобой разберусь позже, а с тобой… — обратилась она уже к Сонику, который попытался сбежать, но замер, когда к нему обратились, — я с тобой ещё не закончила!

И ежиха, размахивая молотом, погналась за Соником.

— Ааааааааа! Спасиииитеееее! Тейлз, выручааааай!

— Прости, но нет. Я и так тебе помог, Соник, но ты сам себя выдал, поэтому сам и выкручиваться как-нибудь, — ответил Тейлз и поспешил выйти наружу, прекрасная осознавая, что сейчас эти двое устроят большой погром в его доме.

«Надеюсь, Крим не будет против, если зайду в гости без приглашения», — подумал он, решив пойти к своей подружке крольчихе, а заодно погостить у неё, пока двое ежей решали свой конфликт.

***

А тем временем, розовая ежиха продолжала гоняться за несчастным синим ежом.

— А ну стоять, Соник! Стой, кому говорю?! — кричала Эми Роуз, разрушая молотом всё, что попадалось на глаза.

— Мамааа! — вопил Соник, всячески уворачиваясь от грозного оружия.

И они так продолжали погоню ещё очень-очень долгое время…

My little fanfiction about the first meeting of Sonic and Tails. 😊 💕 🌺

How does it feel to be normal, to be like everyone else? Why is the majority against those who are only noticeably different from everyone else?

Tails asked these questions every time, the answers to which, alas, he could not find…

As soon as he was born, his parents immediately abandoned him, and all because the baby was born with two tails. Being born a Mobian with more than one tail was considered something of a freak. That's why Tails' father and mother, seeing in him not a child, but some kind of small monster, so easily abandoned him. The baby could have been sent to an orphanage if his uncle, who is a distant relative of the Prauer family, had not appeared in time. Mr. Fox was very friendly with the Prawers. But when he found out what the parents were going to do with the newborn child, he tried to come for his nephew as soon as possible, before it was too late. Having issued guardianship, he took the baby to himself, practically becoming a father to him.

Miles, or as Mr. Fox liked to call the boy "Tails" because of his tails, grew up sweet and kind. Although he was curious and restless, he was obedient.

The old fox also noticed how his ward was very interested in various kinds of mechanics. Mr. Fox was even glad of this, because he liked to tinker with machinery and various mechanisms. He showed the kid how this or that mechanism works, how to fix it, what tools and how to use them correctly. He encouraged him when the little fox was trying to repair cars and equipment. And I was even surprised that the two-tailed fox cub, in addition to repairs, also invented unusual things.

In general, Tails' life could have been happy if it hadn't been for the bullies.

They constantly teased him about tails and inventions, and also threw dirt and other garbage at him. Fortunately, the fox cub had a guardian who protected him. However, due to his poor health, the old man could not always help the boy, and he had to run away and hide from bullies.

But one day something happened that the little fox did not expect… His uncle was gone.… And now he was all alone…

Since the parents definitely will not come to pick up their "ugly" son, the boy will be sent to a shelter. Tails had heard from his uncle when he was alive that an orphanage was a terrible place where children, without knowing parental love and affection, were cruel and heartless. Such an unusual kid like him will be constantly beaten and humiliated. They will be worse than the hooligans that the little fox knew.

And the thought that he could get there made Tails run away from the village, where he lived for 6 years with his beloved uncle.

Hiding in the forest from prying eyes, he took a deep breath, and then slowly walked forward.

"Why? Why do they hate me so much? Why are they doing this? What have I done to them?" the questions were spinning in his head. He involuntarily remembered that he had asked the same questions to his guardian, and he answered it like this: "It's just easier for many people to offend those who are smaller and weaker than them than to do something good. And unfortunately, not everyone likes such people who differ too much in appearance due to, for example, some shortcomings. But just because you have two tails doesn't mean you're a freak or a monster. Not at all. It's just that each of us is unique in our own way. Therefore, remember, Miles, you should not be sad and sad because of your uniqueness, on the contrary, you should be proud of it." But despite such encouraging words, the fox cub did not really believe in it, especially in those moments when he heard the laughter of bullies.

After taking a few more steps, Tails stopped and, unable to stand it, began to cry from the surging emotions. He cried because of those bullies who constantly bullied him, because of the death of his beloved Mobian, because no one needed him anymore. If he had ended up in an orphanage, he would hardly have been taken away by his foster parents. No one but his uncle wanted to be with him.

— Why are you crying, baby? Suddenly, a clear voice was heard. Tails turned around and gave a startled cry.

"Oh, I'm sorry I scared you, buddy. I didn't mean to scare you, really," the stranger, a blue green—eyed hedgehog, said awkwardly, scratching his head, and then continued, turning to the little fox. — Is there anything I can help you with? Are you lost or something?

Tails said nothing, not daring to answer. After all, he had heard from his uncle that you can't talk to strangers.

"Come on, kid. I just want to help," the hedgehog asked a little urgently for an answer. The fox cub looked at him. The blue hedgehog seemed quite friendly, his mischievous eyes were full of tenderness and warmth. But the boy has not yet decided to trust.

What if he's so friendly just because he hasn't seen two fox tails yet? What would he be like if he saw them?

"I… uh… I don't need any help," the little fox finally replied.

— Yes? Are you sure about this?

— Absolutely sure.

— Then… Why did you cry? If something has happened to you, then tell me and I will help you solve this problem.

— I really don't need anything. Thanks

— Kid, I'm sorry if I'm so persistent.… But when I see someone crying, I can't get past them. Just tell me, please, what kind of trouble has happened to you. I really want to help you," said the hedgehog, kneeling down to be on the same level as the fox cub. Tails involuntarily moved his tails when the stranger was at close range with him. And the hedgehog noticed a movement out of the corner of his eye, which surprised him by opening his mouth slightly. That's what Tails was afraid of.…

— Whoa… Do you have two tails? "What is it?" he asked in surprise. The frightened fox cub immediately backed away until it bumped into a tree.

— Hush, hush. I was just surprised," the hedgehog began to calm down, holding out his palms. — I've just never seen anyone with two tails.

—Aren't you… going to… laugh?".. — not expecting such a reaction from the hedgehog, the fox asked timidly.

— no. What am I laughing at? — blue did not understand him.

— And to call names or tease?.. Or… or even throw dirt at me?

— no!

The answer was so loud that Tails flinched. Looking at the hedgehog, who was stunned by his words, he was a little surprised by the reaction of that one.

— Why?.. Why would I do all this to you? — he was still shocked by what he heard, and then the boy explained:

— It's just that because of my tails, all the children laugh at me, tease and offend me. And the adults turn their noses away, barely noticing me. My parents also abandoned me because of this…

— And no one was kind to you?..

— There was one… But… now he's gone…

— Oh… I'm sorry for your loss.…

—Thank you,— Tails said, sighing, and then continued:

— And now… I was left alone…

"I'm sorry for you, kid. This… It was so wrong of them to do this to you… — the hedgehog stood up and cast an angry glance somewhere to the side, while clenching his fists. — Tease, humiliate a small child in every possible way… This… This is simply unthinkable!

— So you won't hurt me?.. Two—tailed asked timidly. It seemed that only now the hedgehog remembered about the baby. Turning to him, he replied:

— Of course not! I protect the weak and defenseless, not offend them! I really don't like hooligans who think that no one will punish them for their actions, and they are allowed to do anything," he growled slightly at the last words, but after looking at the fox cub, he instantly calmed down and continued:

— As I said, I can't get past those who are in trouble. I always try to help in some way. By the way, I forgot to introduce myself… I'm Sonic. Sonic the hedgehog. And you?

"M… Miles… Miles Prauer." But… you can just say Tails," Tails stammered a little.

— The name "Tails" is very cool. I like. And your tails are wonderful, even cool, I would say.

—Do you… do you think so?"..

— Yeah! Sonic chuckled. — Besides, not being like everyone else is very cool in its own way.

"No one told me that I could be cool," Tails was embarrassed.

— Well, now you know you're cool. And don't think about those jerks. If I meet them, they will regret that they offended you. And you don't have to be afraid of them anymore. If anything, I'll protect you.

— Thank you…

— By the way… Do you know where you can find a mechanic? I was on a plane, but something broke down there, as a result of which I had to land.

— I could help fix the plane! — the fox cub volunteered.

— You? — Sonic was slightly surprised.

— yes. I am very good at mechanics, and I also like to make things.

— Wow! Thank you, friend! In a way, I was even lucky to meet you.

— A friend?.. Did you call me a friend?.. Tails asked incredulously.

— Well, yes. I like making friends. Besides, you seem to need a friend yourself.

— Do you really want to be friends with me?..

— Why not! I would be all for it," the hedgehog chuckled.

Tails just couldn't believe his luck. After all, earlier in the day he was all alone, and now he has a friend. He also remembered the words of his late uncle: "Although it is easier for many to be bad, but you don't need to do bad yourself. On the contrary, we must try to do good, even if it will not be easy. Therefore, there are not only evil and bad people in the world, but also good ones. If you find such a good person, it means that he may well become your friend and faithful companion, protecting you from various troubles. So don't despair if you don't have any friends right now, Miles. Friends will definitely show up on time. And you won't be alone."

— Tell me, Tails, would you like to live with me? I could take care of you…" Sonic asked uncertainly, scratching his head in embarrassment. Tails smiled back.

— Yes, of course. I'm all for it.

Grinning, Sonic offered his hand to the fox cub, helping him to stand up.

— great! Then go ahead!

And it was from that day on that the life of one little extraordinary fox changed for the better, thanks to which Tails eventually became the same hero as his blue friend, Sonic the hedgehog. But that was a completely different story.…
