A Tails Tale pt 5- Christmas
Christmas has always been my and Sonic's favorite holiday, and its always been an important one too. Sonic lost his brother Manic and his sister Sonya to Eggman at a young age. Not long after he lost his siblings we were thrown into one another's life. The first Christmas I can remember is when Sonic and I knew we would be together for a long time. I know I can never take the place of Manic or Sonya, and I'd never try to, but Sonic became the big brother I needed and was happy to find.
Now that there was no Eggman to cause trouble we didn't have to worry about our plans being ruined every Christmas. Its funny, back when Eggman was around everyone would be together all the time . Now days everyone is off on their own. But Sonic wouldn't let being separated by a few oceans or cities stand in the way of spending Christmas right. He hand wrote letters to our friends inviting them to our house for Christmas. Rather than let the post office deliver the letters Sonic delivered them all on his own .It only took him 3 days and 2 nights to deliver them all at top speed.
He invited everyone but there were a few people we knew would most likely come.
Silver and Blaze , the time travelers, were still new to our time period. Where they came from the world was in ruins, so Christmas would naturally be something new to them. They let us know they would be coming shortly after Sonic delivered they're invitation.
Ash and Mina mongoose were sure to come since they lived in Green Hills near me and Sonic. In a way they were Our closest friends at the time. They lived close by , we grew up together and Sonic and I could always go to them for help.
Then there was Amy, Rouge, Cream and Cheese , and Antoine. Amy would never miss a party that Sonic invited her to. Rouge agreed to come if we could convince Knuckles to. Cream and Cheese actually found out about the party from Amy.
Antonie was so surprised that Sonic invited him to a party since they hadn't spoken in such a long while. Antonie was so close to Sally still so getting an invitation to a party was beyond unexpected, but he said he would come.
But Sonic also invited a few people who were less likely to come. How could Sonic not invite everyone?
He invited Shadow. Shadow and Sonic weren't exactly friends but they hadn't been enemies for a long time. Inviting him was probably a waist of a letter, Shadow liked being alone. As much as he might have changed Shadow and I still were never friends. He only ever showed respect to Sonic, and he always treated me like a kid.
Sonic also invited MK , monkey Khan. We became friends with MK during our travels through the Iron Kingdom. With his obligations as the leader of half a nation it was unlikely MK would be able to make it to a Christmas party.
Sonic had a hard time getting a letter to Knuckles, but he did. Knuckles lived on angel Island, the floating Island, the Island that floats in the middle of an ocean. As hard as it probably was for sonic to get a letter to Knuckles , completing the task might have been for little to nothing in the long run. Knuckles was the protector of Angel Island, so it was rare for him to leave it or the master emerald that kept the Island afloat.
The last letter Sonic delivered was to the one person I thought for sure he would leave out. Sally Acorn, she and Sonic broke up shortly after the defeat of Eggman so that Sally could rule over her kingdom. No one ever talks about it but Sonic was never just a vigilante, he was a Knight to the Acorn family. When Sally ended things with Sonic he gave her a choice, stay together or loose him completely. In the end Sonic left the service of the Acorns and left there kingdom as well. That letter was the first communication Sonic and Sally might have had in three to four years. Who knows if she actually read the letter or not.
It was a few weeks before Christmas , Chech and I had been together for a good amount of months and it seemed we were approaching the year mark. I still needed to ask him if wanted to go to the Christmas party with me. It wouldn't be the first party we've gone to together .But Christmas is a big step.
He would meet all of my friends which is like meeting my family . My friends are leaders and big people in the world. Sally and MK are leaders of Kingdoms , Knuckles is the guardian of a mystical ancient Island, Antonie is a highly decorated retired general. On paper my friends are perfect , but in reality they can be a bit much to handle all at once. Sally and Sonic have a complicated history that is beyond messy. MK has an ego to match Sonic's. Antonie is always nagging and does everything over the top. Knuckles is gullible and short tempered. And what if shadow is there . Silver and blaze are from the future and can do magic so they are bound to be a whole other level of crazy.
What if I don't ask Chech to come , who would he spend Christmas with? I've never even heard of his family. He doesn't have many friends.
I had to think of all these things while me and Sonic worked to expand the house. We were adding on a bunch of new guest rooms to the house and making the kitchen and living room bigger. With Sonic's speed and the worker bots I mad to help out it wasn't much work needing to be done. But I knew that when we finished I'd have to make a decision, invite Chech to Christmas?
