Tails POV
Soraya came home early last night, I heard her slam the door and loud footsteps run up the stairs but I was still working and couldn't look away from my project for a second.
After I finished a good deal I made some dinner and went upstairs to check on her, assuming she hadn't eaten anything yet.
"Hey sis? I made food....do you want some?" I asked, knocking on her door.
I heard the shuffle of feet and the door opened to reveal Soraya, she had changed into her large grey sweatshirt and blue pajama pants with a gold ring print on it.
"Yeah, thanks buddy! I kinda forgot to eat something once I got back." She said with a smile.
"Okay! It's downstairs, I made some chicken broth ramen with ham." I said, walking towards the stairs.
She followed close behind me and we sat down at the table once downstairs.
"Thanks for making food buddy! I dunno where I'd be without you!" Said Soraya, slurping up her noodles.
I giggle slightly, watching my sister eat.
"So we're working on fixing the Chao garden that got destroyed in the last battle, tomorrow! Are you thinking of joining?" I asked Soraya.
Her ears drooped and she glanced over at me, setting down her fork.
"I'm just feeling a little under the weather, buddy. I might be up to by tomorrow but, do you think I could rest for now?" She asked.
I grew a little concerned, Soraya usually had days like these where I would leave her alone. She needed space but she'd never tell me what's wrong afterwards.
I nodded in understanding but I didn't quite understand her. No one exactly understood Soraya, but someday I hoped someone would, even if it wasn't me.
"Yeah, you can stay home, I relay it to the others." I said.
She nodded and kept eating.
"Do you wanna watch a movie tonight?" I asked.
"As long as it's not Gattaca." She said through eating.
"Hey! It's a cool, movie!" I whined, and she laughed.

Soraya's POV
I was standing in darkness, wearing a pink dress with a singular spotlight on me.
I stood there, not knowing what to do or say, but then the voices started.
"She's such a pretty girl!"
"You know you're a beautiful lady right?"
I covered my ears, my heart was racing.
"Girls like you should wear proper things!"
"Why do you wish you were someone else when you're such a perfect young lady?"
"Women like you are all the same, you have to be pretty."
I closed my eyes shut and practically pulled on my ears as the voices chanted.
"Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!" I cried.
"If you were an actual hero you wouldn't be afraid to tell everyone your little secret!"
"Just face it she'll never be anything else, but a girl."
I shot up in bed, my heart practically ready to thump out of my chest. My t-shirt that I had wore to bed was now soaked in sweat. I groaned and rubbed my face in my hands.
"It was just a bad dream, it was just a bad dream..."
I pulled on my crop top and my black leggings, and stumbled to the bathroom.
I grabbed the blue comb on the counter and looked at myself in the mirror.
Look at you. You call yourself a hero yet you're hiding your true self.
I tried to ignore the thoughts, but I could feel tears stinging my eyes.
Why do you hold up the act? Face it, no one loves you wether you're a boy or a girl, you're disgusting either way.
I dropped the comb and leaned on the counter, gasping and trying to breathe as I felt a tear slide down my face.
I hated looking in the mirror, hated the person I saw in it. I was revolted by myself.
And I was too afraid to tell anyone.
"Soraya?"
I heard Tails say on the other side of the door.
"Yeah, bud?" I ask, trying to sound normal as possible.
"Are you feeling better?" He asked.
"Not really, could you please tell the others I'm just feeling a little under the weather? I swear I can help if there's more work tomorrow." I answered, trying not to let my voice crack.
"Oh okay, well, Amy just called so I'll be heading out. I'll be back around 3:00 pm!" He said.
"Got it bud, go have fun!" I said.
I listened to his footsteps leave the house and then I looked in the mirror again.
I let out a choked sob then rushed over to the toilet and threw up everything I had eaten yesterday.
I hated myself.
I made myself sick.
I hated being a girl.
And that wasn't something I was going to deny.
