The rain poured down, the lightning streaked across the sky. A small figure of a fox dodged past people as he ran across the sidewalk, splashing up quickly formed puddles. Tails had his arms firmly around himself to protect him from the chilling rainy weather the best he could as he hurried to find someplace away from the rain. Unfortuantely, it seemed at every block, the thunder would boom, almost shaking the ground. It was enough for the scared fox that no simple covering would do. He had to get inside somewhere!
Finally, an old apartment building loomed up before him and he walked inside slowly. He shivered and sniffed, looking around timidly. He called out to see if anyone was around, but there was only silence within the building. The lonely boy whimpered as he walked along, trying to shake out some of the water from his fur as he went. At the end of the hallway, he saw the stairs that led to the other floors and he noticed it was dark above him, the light must have burned out which only helped give the effect of the decrepit state of the place.
Another crash of thunder, and Tails jumped, he held his head with tears starting to fall down his eyes as he ducked under the stairs. He hugged his knees to his chest and wrapped his tails around himself for warmth as he kept his eyes shut.
"Oh Sonic..where are you??"

She began walking downstairs lighting up by useing her powers as she kept walking, "Is someone there?" she called out... "Hello?" she asked once more, still walking downstairs as she kept going, light kept coming towards Tails along with teh flowering shrub taht ahd alwasy been wherever Cosmo was...

Tails blinked and rubbed at his eyes as he saw a light coming. He was a bit nervous at first, but then he immediately recognized Cosmo's voice. His eyes looked hopeful as he poked his head out and smiled weakly, leaning against the wall under the stairs.
"C-cosmo .. is that you?"
He walked over quickly and hugged her tightly. A familiar face, and it was Cosmo! He was feeling a bit better already, though he still cried alittle.
"It is you!! Oh Cosmo, I was going around the city with Sonic, and then.. I .. I was looking at some neat gadgets in a store window.. When.. I.. turned around.. Sonic was gone! Then it started to rain.. and I .. got lost.."
He sniffed sadly and rubbed his nose, looking at her with huge eyes.

Cosmo blinked, "It's not like Sonic to run off and leave anyone.. Doesn't he know you hate thunder?" she questioned hugging him back, as she pulled out a simple cloth to wipe away Tails' tears... "Pretty soon, Sonic will realize you're not behind him anymore and he'll come running to find you... So those tears aren't necsary..." She cooed, wiping away a tear with her palm. "In the meantime, I'll keep you company." she said soothingly

Tails nodded weakly and looked down embarrassed for his tears. She was right, of course. Sonic wouldn't just leave him, he probably was still talking and kept walking away, not realizing Tails hadn't followed. He let go of her to finish wiping away his tears trying to look brave and nodded.
"You're right! I bet he'll be looking for me and will find me any minute!"
Another crash and he jumped clinging to her tightly. He blushed and looked up at her fearfully before thanking her for keeping him company. He felt so childish, but he just couldn't keep strong with that sound!

Cosmo merely laughed, a musical soudn coming from her, "Knowing Sonic he's chatting not knowing you're not still there.. No, right now, he's pobally running away from Amy." she giggled. "His stalker." she giggled again. "But, I'm sure he;s on his way..." she added, noticing Tails still lookjed close to tears. "Really! He's on his way, I'm sure of it..."

Tails nodded weakly. He really hoped she was right. His head turned to glance at the door, though he didn't loosen his hold on her. He sighed sadly and shook his head, resting it on her shoulder closing his eyes tightly to pretend the storm wasn't raging outside.
"I am sure you're right.. Thanks for being here, Cosmo.. I.. I .."
He let go and wiped at the newly formed tears and looked down embarrassed all over again.
"I don't want to imagine sitting here alone again. This place is so dark and empty.. and its even worse outside."

Sure enough a bright blue blur came running inside, "Tails?" Sonic called out, "Yo Tails!" he was sopping wet and he shook most of the water out of his fur like a dog would. He walekd inside to see Cosmo holding Tails, "Hey... I'm sorry Tails. Had to run bakc then run soem more to get away from Amy." he said sheepishly. "If you want we can wait out the rain here..."
Cosmo smiled, "What I'd tell you? I'd best be off.. I'll so you soon, right?" she asked Tails kindly as she turned to go outside.

Tails lit up seeing his best friend and grinned. He was about to reply that he knew Sonic would be there the moment he could, but then he looked to Cosmo and nodded looking a little disappointed but smiled faintly.
"If you have to.. Yeah! Of course, you know me, always around."
The small fox grinned sheepishly at her and waved goodbye. He quickly stepped over to Sonic and looked up at him resting his hands on his hips.
"I'm glad you're back. I was a little worried.. I'll admit. But please don't wander off next time Sonic.. I know how flighty you can be sometimes."

Sonic blinked, "Hey Cosmo! How bout hanging around? I'd liek to have ya and I know Tails wouldn't say no." he protested
Cosmo blinked, "I can't.. I'm expected soemwhere..." she said quietly.
Sonic blinked and grinned, "C'mon! Live it up, Cosmo! Hang with us!"
Cosmo finally smiled as she kept walking away.
Sonic sighed, "I tried." was all he said. "Sorry Tails. I got carried away. I'd say it won't happen again, but we both know it probally will."

Tails shook his head and chuckled weakly. He looked up at Sonic and shrugged.
"If she had to go.. she had to go.. I can understand if she's got somewhere to be. Just like she knows I always gotta be around to watch your back."
She grinned slightly and waved goodbye to Cosmo. He then suddenly looked at Sonic wide eyed then he laughed lightly hugging his sides.
"Atleast you're honest Sonic.. You're right.. you could try, but you will always be you. So I guess that means I'll just haveta wait somewhere next time you run off unless I can find you.."

Sonic grinned, "I just live by my word. That's pretty much all there is to that. As for watching my bakc, if you're watching mine, who's wathcing yours?" he teased lightly. "Anyway, the rainstorm's over if you're ready to go bakc outside." he thought for a few monets before holding out a hand, "Anyway, if you're watching my bakc, then I guess Cosmo and I are watching yours, huh?" he added with his trademark boyish tone.

Tails giggled and walked up to him and nodded taking his hand. "Obviously! You guys area watching my back, it makes you too busy to worry about your own. That's why its MY job."
He looked outside and nodded, it had gotten quiet. He smiled and started to walking to the door then blinked looking rather confused for a moment and turned to look over his best friend. "Where were we going anyway?"

Sonic shrugged, "Dunno... We could aways go bug Chris at teh Throndykes, or give the president heck. He's been asking for it recently. We coudl head to Eggman's lair see what he's up too.. The possbilities are endless..." he exclaimed then he got a wicked gleam in his eyes, "0r we coudl tag after your girlsfriend and see what she's been up too." he teased gently for the purpose of making Tails blush a little he knew he woudln't be disapointed by his younger firends reaction to him calling Cosmo his GF either.

Tails' face did indeed turn bright red as he looked down embarrassed. He quickly look up and shook his fist.
"She..she's.. not my girlfriend! She's just a friend.. a really good one.. and I don't know if we should follow her.. I mean.. she wouldn't like that.. us sneaking around butting into her personal life..would she?"
He did want to know, his curiosity was brimming as he glanced out the door. They could catch up and she'd never know, but if she did. What if she never spoke to him again??
