This is a little idea I had for Wholesome Sonic and Tails Wednesday, though it is Tails centric...
Well I wrote it for fun, and I hope everyone likes it!
Everyone was in their beds, with full stomachs, sleeping without care…
The little kit looked up at the dark sky, that was decorated with millions of shimmering stars…
Unlike the rest of the people on the Island, the kit didn't sleep… he didn't have food to eat… nor a bed to lay on…
Instead he was stuck outside in the forest, left alone with the unbearable pain that stung at every corner of his body…
The little fox shut his eyes shut tight, in attempt to block out his emotions that were bubbling up…
Tears fell out of the three year old's eyes, as he shivered at the cold air that blew.
No kid deserved to face that… Though he did…
All because of his two tails…
The child couldn't help but think what would have happened if he didn't have two tails… What if he only had one?
Would his parents not have left him?
Would he have a house to stay in?
Tears were rolling down the kit's fur, as he looked down at his worn out mismatched shoes… He pushed on his arm that was still bleeding from the scratch he received from the teenaged tiger earlier…
He wanted it to stop hurting…
He wanted to feel happy like all the other kids he's seen…
He- He wanted to be loved…
He knew that those things would never happen…
He was just a two tailed freak that no one cared about…
The little fox looked back up at the night sky. It was a cold day, much to the fox's distress, however the sight of the sky was breath taking…
Suddenly, a star flew across the sky!
"H-Huh?!" the kit exclaimed, in a raspy voice, "A s-sootin' s-staw?"
The kit remembered what he once heard at a park…
' "Look at this!" a young cat exclaimed showing off her new toy to a group of kids…
"Wow!" "How did you get that?" the kids exclaimed.
"I saw a shooting star yesterday! And I wished on it and my wish came true!"
The kit wondered whether it was true or not…
The logical side of him knew that there was no way that could happen; however the kid side of him urged to make a wish… And so he did…
Remembering the words the cat recited he closed his eyes and spoke:
"Stawwight, staw bwight, fiwst staw I see to-tonight; I wish I may, I wish I might, have this wish I wish tonight!" before taking a breath in and thinking about what he should wish for… He could wish for unlimited food, so he would never starve again! Or a home to stay in! Or a thicker coat to last through the winter! Taking another breath of air, the kid said,
"I wish someone will love me…"
It has been two years since Miles wished on the star…
Looking up at the dark sky, the same place where he when he was three he looked up at the sky.
He had grown a lot the last two years…
He stopped believing in all of those kid fantasies that kids his age and oler still believed in…
He knew better than that…
He knows that the world hates him, and the only way to get something he has to work for it…
He has to get his hands messy…
And life will never make him getting what he wants easy…
Miles managed to get food…. though he still starved often…
He managed to find a place to sleep… though he got messy often…
He managed to stay warm… though he still froze often…
The main point is that he was able to work for all of those…
He 'stole' any food he could find thrown away…
He searched for caves and dug burrows for hours…
He looked for as many thin blankets as he could for days…
He worked for all of that…
But… How is he supposed to work to get loved?!
He helped fix people's machines… only to get kicked…
He tried to clean up the park… only to get garbage dumped on him…
He supported people when they were weak… only to get punched…
No matter what he did, no one understands him…
Because he is a freak… and that is a fact…
and no wish can change that…
Looking back up at the stars, Miles sees another shooting star…
Unlike before he continues to stare at the sky…
"Hey Tails, look it is a shooting star!" Sonic said pointing up towards it.
Tails followed Sonic's gaze and his eyes bet the said star.
"Let's wish shall we?" Sonic asked with a smile.
Tails saw Sonic closed his eyes tight, clearly making a wish…
Tails continued to look at Sonic…
He already wished on the star…
And since then he no longer believed in wishes…
Even so… His wish became true…
Maybe everyone's wishes become true… The better ones just need time to work…
"Why didn't you wish?" Sonic said looking at Tails with a confused expression.
"I don't need anything!" Tails said with a shrug, "Besides my wish is right beside me!"
Sonic looked around before pointing at himself in question "Me?!"
"Yup! I've got the best older brother ever! What else do I need?"
"Ohhh, come here you little ball of fur!" Sonic said pulling Tails into a tight hug.
The two of them stared at the beautiful night sky, before Sonic broke the silence.
"Do you know what I wished for?" Sonic whispered.
"What?" Tails asked, curious.
"I wished to always have you by my side! And for the two of us to have the best times together!" Sonic said!
'And I wished to be loved, and I hadn't been for the longest time…
I hope everyone liked it! I know it is pretty short, but I thought it was a cute idea!
