Not a Kid anymore

Tails woke up, yawning before he realized what today was. The United Nations Space Command, or UNSC, had asked for his help in the war against The Covenant. He was leaving tonight. he was going to tell his friends that morning. he told everyone that he had an anouncment to make that day. Tails got out of bed, went through his usual morning buisness, and went outside.

sonic and the rest of his friends were going to meet him at sonic's house(mansion since everyone else lived there). when tails got there everyone was waiting inside in the living room. "hi Tails" cream, rouge, amy, and knuckles said at once. "hey little buddy!" sonic said.shadow with his usual "hmph". sally said "hi tails how are you?". "hi everyone." tails said faking a smile, but amy saw through it. "tails, whats wrong?" she asked."does it have to do with what you wanted to talk about?"

"actually yes, it does" tails said, and his happy expression went to a sad one, ears down and all."im leaving tonight. im going back to earth to..." before tails finished sonic cut him off."WHAT! YOU CAN'T LEAVE! I WON'T...". "would you let me finish?" tails said in an irritated voice. sonic sat back down, paying full attention(for once). "im not leaving permanetlly. the UNSC has asked me to help them in their war with a religious group called The Covenant. i'll be gone for about 4 months." tails looked around. "okay now you can complain."

"you can't leave! your a part of this team!" sonic yelled. "yeah, what will we do with out you?"

everyone was complaining to him at once! tails couldn't take it. "WOULD YOU ALL JUST SHUT UP FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE!"

everyone was silent as tails just realized what he just said."anyway...like i said, i'll only gone for 4 months, its nothing to worry about guys". everyone had a sad and worried look on their face."i'll be leaving 7:30 tonight". tails started to walk out, but sonic stopped him with one more question."just one question. why didn't the humans call me to help them? why you?"

Tails stopped... and turned his head so everyone could see his right eye."because sonic, speed won't help in this war. its about numbers. numbers and who has the better technology." what kind of numbers are we talking about?" asked sonic.

" 200,000 vs. 10,000,000". everyone's jaw dropped, LITTERALY, except for cream who no one noticed was missing.

there are only THAT many humans left! sonic thought to himself. "well that means im coming too!" sonic said. but tails got annoyed and said "no sonic, i can do this on my own. Im... Im not a kid anymore."

with that tails walked out.

"what are we going to do?" asked sonic. "I KNOW LETS GET HIM A GOODBYE PRESENT!" amy yelled after crying over tails's departure. "thats a good idea amy!" sally said. "lets go!" everyone got their money and ran out.

before this, when tails went out the door. cream was at another room, crying and watching tails walk off. he was also sad. holding it in.
