Memory Lane

Stop Eleven: Happy Times

"...98, 99 100! Ready or not, here I come!" A younger Miles shouted happily uncovering his crystal blue eyes and glancing around the wooded area. He ran through the trees occasionally looking behind bushes or up tree trunks looking for his older sister, Y/N. "Y/N! I'm gonna find you!" He called out happily. He searched further into the forest his twin tails flicking behind him as he continued to look for the older fox, he paused his running and began to think of just where Y/N would hide from him. He tapped his chin in thought for a moment, then his eyes light up as he got an idea.

A young vixen about fourteen years old at the most lay in the empty field with her eyes closed and a small content smile on her face. Though that smile grew when she heard a voice call out to her from a distance, it was a familiar voice one she had grown to adore. She heard running footsteps and laid down flat against the ground able to conceal herself within the tall grass, when the footsteps got closer she reached an arm out and tripped the person the footsteps belonged to. There was a startled yelp from the person but it was followed by small giggles, the older fow stood up and beamed down at the smaller fox below her which he gladly returned, "Found you." He said happily. Y/N bent down and began to tickle her younger brother who erupted with laughter, crying through fits of giggles for her to stop. "Y-Y/N I c-can't breath!" He wheezed out, the vixen chuckled before ending the tickle attack. Miles sat up and laughed a bit more as Y/N sat down next to him. A moment of comfortable silence followed as they both caught their breaths, Miles leaned his head against Y/N's shoulder and sighed happily. Y/N looked down at her younger brother as a soft smile spread across her muzzle, it was these rare moments she truly cherished. They were always struggling to survive or trying to avoid trouble, always worrying about just what troubles tomorrow will decide to throw their way. Y/N closed her eyes and took deep breath letting it out slowly taking in as much of this moment, savoring it and wishing for it to never end. Why did it have to end? Why did they have to go through everything they went through just to barely make it to the next day? She might never know they answer, but she didn't mind not having all the answers right now. Right now none of that seemed to matter, all that matter was making her brother happy....

Tails had Y/n laid down on a table in his workshop and was running around looking for something when Sonic walked in, he was about to ask the young fox what was wrong but his eyes fell upon Y/N still form on the metal table. He decided to go with a simple, "What's going on?" Tails's head shot up from behind a pile of boxes, he ran over to Sonic and pulled over to his computer.

"Cream told that she was playing with Y/N and then she suddenly collapsed and started shaking, when I found her she was unconscious but still trembling badly." Tails said in a rush, "I also was looking onto the files Doctor Eggman had on her and found out that if the chaos energy in her doesn't flow correctly she could die! I think I may have a solution but I don't know how to make them!" He exclaimed.

Sonic looked back at Y/N then at Tails again, "What are you trying to make?" He asked.

"Well since Shadow needs inhibitor rings to contain the chaos energy inside of him, I thought maybe I could make something similar for Y/N to help regulate the flow of chaos energy inside of her. But I don't know how they were made..." He said with a sad expression. "And if I don't find out soon Y/N could die, and it would be all my fault!" He cried. Sonic's eyes

widened as the reality of the situation set in, he put both hands on Tails' shoulders and looked at him with concern and determination swirling in his green eyes.

"What do you need me to do?" He asked, wanting to help out in anyway possible.

"I might need Shadow so I can analyze his rings, then if we're lucky and I find some useful data I could make some for Y/N. But you need to hurry, I don't know how longs she can hold on..." The kitsune answered. Sonic nodded and sped off out of the workshop to find Shadow.
