The rain pattled down quietly onto the window pane one cold, dark night, only making the restless orange fox, named Tails, even more awake. Tails lay quietly under his thick, soft blankets, closing his eyes gently.
"Ahh... I'll never get to sleep at this rate..." he thought to himself.
He watched as the shadows of trees and clouds off in the distance cast long, dark shadows onto his soft, carpeted floor. He closed his eyes and slowly opened them again, and to his surprise, there was now a new shadow spread out accross his floor.
He jumped slightly and swung his head over towards the window. The moon shone through the clouds slightly, casting a gentle light accross the figure's body. Tails examined it quickly, and came to a very fast conclusion.
"S-Sonic...?" He studdered, "...What's up? Why're you here at a time like this?"
Sonic's figure had a slight blue tinge around the edges of his fur, but his expression and facial features remained shadowed. The dark shadowed hedgehog raised his fist to the glass of the window and knocked gently.
"Sonic...? What is it?" Tails asked, pulling his feet out from under the warm blankets and out onto the carpeted ground, "Is it Eggman again?"
Tails pressed his feet against the carpet as he took step after step to reach Sonic. He rubbed his eyes drowsily and opened up the window. Rain came dripping in, producing a large, wet stain on Tails' clean, dry carpet.
"Come inside, Sonic. It's soaking wet out there!" Tails chuckled, opening the window wider, so Sonic could climb through. But instead, he only remained still. "Sonic? What's wrong?" Tails pondered, "You'll get a cold if you stay out there for too long!"
Sonic reached out his wet, gloved hand and grabbed a hold of Tails' arm. He jumped up and off of the Prower family house, dragging Tails along behind him. "S-Sonic!" Tails yelped, flying through the air at the grasp of his speedy friend. Sonic sped his way down to a far away field, where he skidded to an alarming stop, sending Tails flying forward.
Tails bounced on the ground gently, before stopping to rub his head. "Sonic...what's going on...?" the worried fox asked. It wasn't like Sonic to just throw his friends around like that, let alone take off without letting him know where he's going. "You haven't said a word yet, Sonic... I'm worried. Are you alright? Say something."
Sonic's back was turned to Tails, and shadowed my the moonlight. The rain pounded down hard now, splattering down all over the poor helpless fox who only wanted to be tucked into bed, dreaming of flying through the clear blue sunny sky. But no. He was stuck outside in a dark, wet field, soaking and cold. "S-Sonic...?" He studdered again, still on the ground.
"...heh..."
"Sonic? Was that you?" Tails asked.
"Hmhmhm..." The laughter came again, this time louder and almost scary sounding.
"Sonic! I'm scared! Where's that creepy laughter coming from? Is it Eggman?" the frightend fox studdered.
"HAHAHAHAHAAA!" The laughter burst out evilly from infront of the two tailed fox. The horrible sound overtook to pounding rain, and echoed into the night sky. Tails was stunned. It was Sonic who was laughing.
"...Son...ic..." Tails cowered, eyes wide, "Whats...so funny...? Ha...ha..." Tails tried to act like everything was okay, but deep down inside, he knew it wasn't. That's when it happened.
The deep blue shadowed hedgehog stopped laughing, and slowly turned around to face Tails. Tails nearly fainted. What he saw wasn't his best friend at all. What he saw had two blood red eyes and a sharp, toothy grin that could intimidate even the bravest hero in the world. Sonic laughed evil again.
