Chapter 2: Around the Town

 

~Tails' POV~

 

I was waiting at the entrance of the train station, just like my father instructed me. Everyone came out after a few minutes, all dressed up. I noticed Christina had changed her clothes from yesterday to better suit the weather. She wore a simple blue fleece shirt with short jeans, along with matching sandals. My mother proclaimed me the tour guide and had me show them around the city. We all decided to then have lunch at an outdoor restaurant. Christina still avoided me like yesterday, always finding an excuse to get away from me. It made me feel…I don't know, twisted up inside.

 

“Hey Tails!” I looked onto the sidewalk ahead; it was an adult male blue hedgehog with light green eyes and peach skin. He was wearing a white t-shirt with #1 Dad in blue, Levis, and red and white zip up shoes, the brand I don't know. Beside was a younger male hedgehog, a toddler; about 5 years old. He was also blue with emerald green eyes, peach skin, and a couple bangs. He was wearing a dark blue baseball cap along with shorts and a grey shirt, and of course, red and white sneakers. The older one jogged up to me, the younger one not far behind. “Long time no see lil bro! Who's this?”

 

“Hey Sonic. You remember my parents and my cousin Alisha. Over there is her friend Christina.” I purposely didn't call her my friend, since Sonic would ask questions I couldn't answer. “Everyone, you remember Sonic, right? Standing next to him is his son, Streaker. So, where's Amy and Blossom?”

 

“Amy took Blossom to gymnastics class, like usual.” They all started talking, when I saw how Christina was glaring at Sonic with so much hatred. She probably blames him for me forgetting her. “Wait a sec; I'd recognize those three tails anywhere! Heh heh! You was that little girl clinging to Tails and crying, making his fur wet. Right Tails?”

 

“Come on Tails! It's time to get going!”

 

“Coming Sonic!”

 

“W-What!? You're leaving already!?”

 

“Heh, who's this?”

 

“Chrissy, I gotta go now.”

 

“B-But…you promised me last week that you were gonna take me somewhere!”

 

“Chrissy, I'm sorry, but I can't stay here much longer. You know that I've always wanted to go out to see the world. And besides, if he doesn't think I'm a freak, even though we just met, imagine who else out there doesn't care how many tails you have or your hobbies, but cares about the person inside. Do you understand?”

 

“…yes. Just don't break the promise you made to me yesterday…okay?”

 

“I won't. Now, can you please let go and stop crying? I can't breathe and you know I don't like to see you cry.”

 

“All right. Mister blue hedgehog, if Miles gets hurt, I'll kick your butt worse than I do the bullies!”

 

“Heh! Don't worry little girl, I'll take good care of him.”

 

I sat there frozen, holding in my breathe. He remembers her and I don't? This doesn't make any sense! I jumped up, seeing that Streaker was pulling on one of my tails, trying to bring me back into reality.

 

“So, you remember me and he doesn't.” There was an icy tone in her words, sending shivers up my spine.

 

“Huh? Doesn't remember you? That doesn't sound like that Tails I know. You should've seen him at night, tossing and turning, crying, sometimes calling your name, you should've seen it! Heh, I used to tease him all the time about it. Even after I stopped teasing him, whenever I stayed over at his place to escape Amy, he'd be crying silently on his pillow, than ask me the next morning why it's wet. But I didn't say anything.” Guess that explains why my pillow's wet every night. Wait a sec…that's probably why I forgot about her! Sonic usually teased me about her after our adventures. But when he stopped, the new adventures pushed her out my mind. Maybe that's the answer.

 

~Christina's POV~

 

I became a bit more at ease and smiled at how red Miles' face became. It was nice to know he kinda remembered me in some sort of way. I hope his friend's teasing will help bring back some memories.

 

I couldn't help but notice how Sonic resembled the hedgehog in my dream last night. Only the one I dreamt of was darker and had streaks, his eyes burning red. I was frightened at first, until he held me. I felt safe…and warm. I shook my head, getting rid of that pettish dream. I loved Miles and him alone! Not some stranger I just dreamt up!

 

“Well anyway, my family's goin' to Twinkle Park tomorrow and I thought you should come along since it's been a while since we last hung out. You can bring your family and Christina too!”

 

“How wonderful! We were planning on going there as well, right dear?” Amadeus nodded his head, agreeing with Rosemary. Sonic smirked and dashed away, his son following suit.

 

“Cool! Imagine all the cute Jewish boys I can meet there!” I rolled my eyes, not interested with the subject. I laid my eyes on Miles, who was waving good-bye to his friend. I wished to get a little closer to him tomorrow, hope rising once more. He turned his gaze to me, as if he knew I was watching him. I panicked and quickly turned my attention to Alisha.

 

“Come on Alisha! Quit thinking of Jewish guys already! Instead, think of what you're gonna wear tomorrow! I've heard there are rides that get you soaking wet, and I don't think you wanna be in those clothes, sopping and dripping all day long.” She stopped her rambling and snapped into her senses.

 

“You're right! I need to find the perfect tank-top and shorts!”

 

“What's with you girls and clothes? Clothes are just plain old clothes.” I giggled, shaking my head. Miles, you may have forgotten me, but you're still the same boy I fell in love with.

 

~Tails' POV~

 

I decided to take them to the park, since they wasn't used to the city yet. My parents relaxed on a bench, under the shade of a lush tree. Alisha ran about, dancing and twirling to a song she was singing. Christina was a bit further off, sitting on a hill and looking at the clouds. She seemed to be daydreaming. I silently joined her, relaxing a bit as I laid down next to her. Hmm, she left her hair down, which is just fine with me. She looks beautiful this way…wait…DID I JUST CALL HER BEAUTIFUL!? What the heck is happening to me!

 

“Excuse me, but what are you doing?” I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up at her. She seemed a bit confused.

 

“Just relaxing.” Yeah…real smooth…

 

“You can just go under the tree over there with your parents.”

 

“Nah, I like the feel the rays of the sun.” She sighed and starts to get up, about to walk away; until I quickly snatched her hand and pulled her down next to me, holding her in place.

 

“Uhm…why are you holding me?”

 

“To make sure you don't leave.”

 

“And the reason for that?” I just shrugged my shoulders.

 

“I guess it's because I enjoy your company.” She sighed again and relaxed under my grip, placing her head on my chest. I couldn't help but feel so…content. It just felt right, holding her at this moment, her resting on me. Just what is this feeling? I'll ask Sonic tomorrow, maybe he'll know.

 

“Miles?”

 

“Hmm?”

 

“Do you…remember anything now?” I sadly shook my head, feeling her slump a bit. “Well, I'll try to help you. That okay with you?”

 

“Yeah, it is.” I felt a grin come up.

 

“Well, on sunny days, during the summer, we would be lying down on the grass, looking at the clouds. Just like right now, only it's spring and you're holding me. We were also pointing out pictures the clouds formed. There was a bunny, a boat, a cat, and”

 

“A heart.”

 

“…right.”

 

~Christina's POV~

 

The rest of the day was spent at the hotel. Rosemary proposed we should plan out what to do tomorrow at the amusement park. She had Miles join in as well, since he's been there before. The entire time I was thinking of what happened earlier. Miles had remembered the day we found a heart shaped cloud in the sky.

 

“Hey look Chrissy! A heart!”

 

“Wow! It's so pretty Miles!”

 

“My mom told me that when a boy and girl find a heart shaped cloud together, they get married when they're older!”

 

“You think it's true?”

 

“I don't know, but I wouldn't mind getting married to you, you're really nice and sweet.”

 

“You really think so Miles?”

 

“Uh-huh! And that's the truth.”

 

My heart had leaped for joy, Miles was gaining his memories. Sure, he doesn't remember everything else, but it's a start. However, whenever he saw me his face would turn red and look away. So I had retreated to my room and took a quick shower. My clothing was laid out, my towel wrapped around me. I heard the door open, believing it was Alisha and turned to talk to her, only to see it was him.

 

“Oh…I unh…only came here…to get you for uhm…dinner.” His eyes were on the floor, his face tomato red. I was also blushing and had turned back around, my towel still fortunately wrapped around me. I heard the door close and quickly put on my attire, leaving my hair alone to dry on its own. I rushed downstairs, only to see the Prowers teasing Miles.

 

“My my! Your hair's still wet! Go hurry and dry it up!”

 

“We don't have time Rosemary!”

 

“Just go ahead of me, I'll catch up. And don't worry; I know how to get there.” Everyone stared at me a bit, but went on their way. I dashed upstairs, getting the blow-dryer and brush; making myself nice, neat, and appropriate. There, perfect.

 

~Tails' POV~

 

Uneasy thoughts were running through my head. What if she gets lost? What if she gets kidnapped? What if someone runs her over!? Argh! I gotta stop this. She'll be just fine. My parents told me that she pays close attention and is very cautious, so she'll be okay…right?

 

“Thinking about her, aren't you son?” I looked up to see that my father was walking beside me, the girls ahead of us. I nodded my head, knowing I couldn't hide it. “I thought so. Of course, she's all you ever thought about when you were younger. Well, other than your inventions that is. She's a nice girl. Sweet, kind, caring, clever, and quite the beauty. Many men have tried to woo her, but not one succeeded. Well…except for one boy.” This got my complete attention.

 

“What boy.”

 

“A black fox. Same age as you. Happened three to four years ago. They met in the spring, introduced by a friend. They were just plain friends at first, until later on in the summer.”

 

“What happened?”

 

“He was acting differently that day. From the distance, he was a depressing boy, never smiles. But he was that day, kinda creeped everyone out. Later on, everybody saw them holding hands, both of them laughing and smiling. My neighbor told me that they got together.”

 

“Say what!?”

 

“Turns out they had feelings for each other, but were too shy at first. He broke the ice, and she told him how she truly felt.”

 

“Are they still?”

 

“No. Lost contact with each other. Boy left and never came back. Christina became very depressed, but went back to normal. But I believe she still has feelings for him, and him her. You better to get her while you have the chance son. If you don't, you'll regret it.” He walked ahead of me, leaving me to my thoughts. She was in love with someone, and still is. Why do I feel such pain and hatred? And what did my father mean? We're just friends…right? I felt something in my hand and brought it to my face, it was a picture. There were 2 kids up in a tree, a boy holding a girl on his lap. It was me and Christina.

 

~Christina's POV~

 

I had headed out, trying to catch up with the others. There was an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. I felt like someone was watching me, staring at me like I'm its prey. But there's no one around, their whereabouts unknown. I heard something suddenly, like something being broken or kicked. I quickened my steps, not wanting to stay around here a minute more. Then there was a new sound, footsteps. Some one was stalking me. My pace sped up a bit, hearing the stalker's do the same. Oh no, what if he's like that bat? No…don't you DARE think about it! Just run! RUN! I felt my legs give off lots of energy, trying to get away. I swear I heard a man curse, confirming it was indeed a male stalker. Like that bat…stop! Forget what happened! Or it'll happen again! I…can't. I felt my legs give out and fell onto the sidewalk, skidding my arms and knees. I hissed out in pain, trying to get up until a pair of muscular arms grabbed me; a hand placed over my mouth, the other holding a gun to my head. Just like last time, only the bat used a knife and put it to my neck…why…

 

“Behave now young vixen and I promise it won't hurt so much. And if you don't.” He snickered, pushing the gun a bit, knowing what he meant. Ugh, his breathe, it smelt of alcohol. Why do these things always happen to me? Why!

 

He pulled me into the alley, forcing me against the wall. I didn't dare look at him, not wanting to see his face haunt my dreams. He growled in disapproval and roughly tore off my clothes, stinging my entire body, the gun still at my head. I closed my eyes, waiting for the impact. Instead, I heard him yell, the gun slipping away from me, something hitting the ground. I slowly opened my eyes, afraid to find out what was there. A man was on the ground, most likely the stalker. His hands were smashed up, the gun broken. Standing before me was a black hedgehog with red streaks, brown skin, and a bit of white fur on his chest. What really got my attention were his burning red eyes, just like in my dreams. My body swayed, falling to the ground, but I never felt contact. Instead, I was caught and held up in the arms of my savior. I wanted to thank him, but I slowly felt reality slip away as I entered the dream world.

 

A/N: I bet you know EXACTLY who he is. He plays a major role in the story, and you'll see why later on. You'll also find out who the bat was…maybe. I'll try to update ASAP. Review please! Buh-bye for now!
