" Okay, Okay Tails.. your turn buddy. Truth or dare? " 

" .. Dare.   "

" Throw a Water balloon at Knuckles AND Leonardo. "

Mikey ( 2012 ) ,  Morty and Finn all collectively gasp at this dare. 

" But . . .  They're sleeping.  "

" You're the one who chose dare, not me. "

" ..Okay but if I get caught doing this, you guys owe me D:< !"

" Only if you get caught.  "

Sonic , Tails , Mikey , Morty and Finn tiptoed over to where Knuckles and Leonardo slept on the couch. Tails was nervously holding the water balloon in his hand, Sonic and Mikey were silently cheering him on. Morty was just watching to see how this turned out, Morty turned around for just one second then BOOM! 

Tails had already thrown the water balloons at Knuckles and Leonardo, they all started running away while laughing. Leonardo woke up and he wasn't pleased about this, he thought this was Mikey's idea immediately considering water balloons were his favorite kind of "weapon", Leo was going to go upstairs and give them a talk about how it wasn't very nice to throw water balloons at SLEEPING PEOPLE. Teenagers Suck.

" Uh, are we sure Cream can do this? "

Cream was finally putting the cookies in the oven, she saw Amy do this like.. a gazillion times! This should be safe..

Right?

" Nope, I don't think she even turned on the oven. "

Cream turned around to face Tails.

" For your information, i DID turn on the oven... with the help of a YouTube video! "

Tails sighed as in "Oh my god we're devolving as a species.", Charmy sighed of relief and gave a thumbs up!

-------------------------------------------------------------

Amy sniffed the air, then sniffed again. Was she going crazy or did she smell smoke? By the look of Sonic and Mortys face.. oh right they're asleep, the only look on their face was the face of two high teenagers passing out after eating so many snacks.

Amy got up, she walked down the stairs and into the kitchen as she could tell that's where the smoke was coming from. Turns out the oven was on fire.

How does this even happen? She barely touched the oven today, and she made sure to turn it off. Amy grabbed the emergency fire extinguisher and put out the fire, then she opened the oven, coughing from the smoke. When she looked in the oven, her face went from worry to a look of disappoint.

Someone had tried to make cookies, again. She knew who it was, or rather who THEY were. Tails must've known this was going to happen, or not. I can't expect him to know everything, Amy walked upstairs after throwing away the cookies and opened the door.

-------------------------------------------------------------

" Hey, aren't we forgetting something? " 

Charmy asked, looking at both Cream and Tails.

.

.

.

.

Then it finally clicked, the cookies! Oh shoot.

" The.. cookies. We're forgetting the cookies D: ! "

Cream and Charmy both scramble to get up, Tails gets up more calmly but as soon as they're about to open the door.. Amy opens it before them.

" Cream . Did you try making cookies in the oven again? I told you that you don't know how to work that thing. "

" I do! I just forgot about the cookies.. "

" Look, I understand that.. just next time please be more careful with how you're handling things and let someone else do it if you want cookies. Actually, I could order you all some cookies later but Cream.. stay away from the oven until then, okay? "

" Okay big sis ! "

Amy kissed Creams forehead before leaving the room and shutting the door, something was bothering her. Did she let Cream off too easily? Nah.. It's probably just some stupid nagging feeling.

-------------------------------------------------------------

" ..So Cream. Did you learn your lesson with the oven? "

"   Nope.  "

"  Tails .. what are you doing.  "

Tails stopped doing what he was doing in the kitchen before he turned around to see Sonic in his Christmas pajamas and bunny slippers.

" I'm.. testing something out. "

" Tails, usually I wouldn't disagree with your way of testing but why the fuck are you putting spaghetti in the toaster. "

" Uh.. new technique in heating up food? "

" That's the whole point on why we have a microwave. "

" Yeah.. I know that, but i'm just trying something out. "

" No.. just, come on. Go back to bed before you break the toaster again. "

" Not yet, in a few minutes. "

Sonic crossed his arms and tapped his foot like a mom that caught you staying up late at night on a school night, Tails didn't care however. He just ignored Sonic, until Sonic grabbed him by the scruff of his neck. 

" Sonic. Are you serious.. I said in a few minutes. "

" And I told you to go back to bed, not later or in a few minutes. You can heat your food up in the morning, and clean up the mess you made by putting spaghetti in the toaster. You can't heat up spaghetti by toasting it. "

Sonic kept holding tails by the scruff of the neck until he got to Tails room, he then let tails go and before he closed his door..

" Goodnight little buddy. "

" ..Goodnight Sonic. "

Sonic then closed the door before heading to his room across the hall and slipping back into bed.

Finn was playing outside with Cream and Tails, nothing too out of the ordinary but they couldn't seem to agree on something they all wanted to play. 

Finn wanted to go on adventures, Cream wanted to play pretend, and Tails wanted to build machines. Which isn't technically something that you could play about but if Tails found it fun, that's what he finds fun. 

So, to determine what game they should all play on.. they did rock paper scissors shoot. Which is something I would say if that happened, we all went off to do our own things as Cream and Tails argued over which one of their things were better to do.

" Tails! Nobody wants to build machines, it's not fun for everyone. Not everyone is some kid genius like you! "

" Well I'm sorry that I have a bigger iq than you, I didn't ask to be born with it! "

" Plus I bet Finn could build better than you anyway! "

" Well actually- "

Then they went back and forth, back and forth.. back and forth. Eventually, they both stormed off to do their own things.. on the complete opposite sides of the backyard. Like, they just walked at least five feet away from each other, I didn't know whose side to choose.

I could either go play house with Cream and betray Tails, or I could attempt to build with Tails and betray Cream. I weighed out my choices but before I could even do that. Cream walked over to Tails.

" Tails.. I'm. sorry that I said those things to you, I know you didn't ask to be born that way.. "

..Tails sighed as he put down his wrench.

" I'm sorry that I said I have a bigger iq than you, we're still friends right? "

Cream nodded before they both hugged and called me over

" Finn! Group hug time! "

Huh, I guess I didn't really have to choose a side after all.. I walked over to them.. then I hugged both of them.

" Okay internet, this is me! Miles Tails Prower back with another cooking video, I know last time turned out to be.. a bit of a disaster but I learned since then! "

Tails grabbed the pack of chicken from out the sink that was left to thaw out all night, he opened the package and put one singular wing onto a plate

" See, I learned some tips from you guys in the comment section on my last video.. you guys told me to use more seasonings! Which is something I will be doing but you guys also told me to stop using the toaster. "

" I would stop doing that but usually .. when I make these videos, it's when everyone is asleep. It's like.. 10 am currently for me, so I'm trying to be quiet. I don't want my brother coming down here, especially since he's hanging out with his friend later on. "

Tails seasoned the chicken before putting it into the toaster, he flipped the chicken from time to time after it was done and ready to come out the toaster. when he thought he was finally done, he took the chicken out the toaster and put it on his plate.

" This looks better than the last time I cooked it.. I have a good feeling about this one guys! Twotailedcooking out >_O ! "

Within the next 6 hours, Tails was throwing up from food poisoning in the bathroom. Sonic comforted tails and gave him water afterwards. 

" You seriously have to stop cooking things in the toaster, it doesn't get rid of all the bacteria when you're cooking it in there. You know that, right? "

" ..Yea  "

Tails looked off to the side, Sonic stared at Tails.

" You really didn't know that? "

" I just didn't want to wake you guys up while I was cooking, and usually I use the toaster for pop tarts so.. "

" Pop tarts and chicken are two different things, Tails. I think Amy needs to teach you a few things about cooking. "

Sonic gave Tails a pat on the back before giving him a hug. 

" You need to be more careful. "

" I know.. I'm sorry. "

" It's alright little buddy. "

Tails and Cream stared at each other, they kept staring.. and staring.. until Tails blinked.

" HA! I win! "

Charmy claps and Tails grumbles, this is the fifth time he lost to cream. He could always beat her in rock paper scissors, but when it came to staring contests.. he always lost against her.

" And since I won, YOU have to ask Mr. sonic to take us to the park this time ! "

" Cream.. you know that you can just call him Sonic- "

" GO TAILS!! "

Cream pushed him out of the room and slammed the door, before opening it again.

" I'm sorry Tails, I didn't mean it but seriously. Go ask Sonic. "

Cream shut the door again, this time she didn't slam it.

Tails grumbled, Why couldn't we just text him? When did we make this rule of having to tell him in person? Oh right.. because we ALL don't have phones.

Tails walked to Sonics door before gently pushing it open without knocking.

" Hey Sonic, Cream asked if you could take her, Charmy and I to the park on to- "

Sonic fell off his bed scrambling to get off Leon, Tails stared. He looked back and forth at Leon and Sonic.

" Sonic.. are you serious right now?? "

" Oh cmon, I'm older than you. If I wanna make-out with my... friend I will. Tell Cream that I'll take you guys to the park. "

" You mean boyfriend? "

Sonic pushed Tails out the doorway before closing the door.

Tails walked back to his room, he opened the door. After he walked in, he shut the door behind himself and sat down. 

" Well? Is he going to take us to the park tomorrow? "

" Yea. " 

Cream and Charmy high-five each other

" AWESOME !! "

" I can't believe Cream let Mikey talk us into doing this again. " 

" I think I ate too much pizza.. "

" Not relevant right now, Donnie. "

" Alright Dudette! First rule in skating is to be safe in doing it, and right now.. this should be pretty safe! "

" Mr Mikey.. I don't think this is safe at all. "

" Well you have your helmet and kneepads on, right? "

" Well yes, but what about your brothers- "

" They should be fine! We've done this before. "

" Ah, okay then! "

" Okay.. ready.. steady GO! "

Before cream can even do what she's about to do, Amy walks downstairs to get something to drink from the kitchen.. when she sees what's happening in the living room. She gasps and immediately rushes down the stairs into the living room.

" Are you all crazy!? Skateboarding?? IN THE HOUSE? Do you even know what time it is? "

Cream knew that tone of voice a little too well, that meant she was in big trouble and I mean BIG trouble. 

" ..7:20? "

" It's 4 in the morning, yet you're all downstairs trying to break windows. "

" But, big sis we weren't going to- "

" I know that but you're skateboarding in the HOUSE. Do you know how dangerous that is? Especially with all of you lined up like this, get up and go back to bed. ALL of you. "

Cream gulped. As Mikey was about to get back Into his sleeping bag, he patted cream on the shoulder and whispered to her..  " Good Luck. " 

and honestly.. she was going to need that.

As everyone settled back down into their sleeping bags, Cream whistled while trying to walk by Amy to go back upstairs in her room. Amy blocked the way upstairs and looked at Cream.

" I believe you're forgetting something. "

Cream gulped.. she didn't prepare herself at all for this moment!

" I'm sorry for trying to skateboard in the house big sis.. "

Amy patted Creams head but she still didn't look satisfied.

" What do you think would be a good punishment for something like this..? "

..

Cream knew one thing, she did NOT want to get punished by having to watch a movie she hated over and over on repeat.

" Uh.. I should.. reflect on my actions and be grounded for.. two weeks..? "

" Hm.. I guess that's fitting. But I'll lower two weeks down to about a week.. now don't do this kind of thing again. It's dangerous and you could've gotten hurt. "

" Yea.. I know, i'm sorry Amy.  "

" I forgive you, now go ahead and get to bed now.. "

Cream rushed up the stairs to get to her room, once she opened the door.. she closed and locked it behind her.

" Guys.. I'm gr- "

She was interrupted by loud sleeping in her room, Tails was completely asleep. Loud snoring, drool and a whole sleeping mask on with his hair in a Velcro hair roller.

.

..

...

Is he serious right now? Cream turned to look at Charmy who just shrugged his shoulder in response, Cream sighed before getting into bed.. she got cozy and finally slept. Charmy, on the other hand.. had the worst time trying to sleep.

Chapter Text

Tails made sure that everyone was completely asleep before he went downstairs, turns out he didn't completely make sure as Charmy followed closely behind Tails.

" Charmy, what are you doing?! "

" I think I should be asking that question, it's night time! "

Tails slapped his hand over Charmys mouth before looking downstairs to see if anybody was down there, there wasn't anybody down there this time.. I guess Mikey, Raph, Leo and Donnie decided they didn't want to sleepover today. Tails took his hand off Charmys mouth as he walked down the stairs, Charmy crossed his arms. 

As soon as Tails was off the stairs, he put one foot out and heard the floor creak. 

.

.

.

This is going to be an issue.. isn't it? Tails tried to make as little noise as possible but the floor was betraying him with every step he took, once he finally got to the basement door. He turned around to look at Charmy.

" If I open this door, you can't scream and you can't snitch on me to Sonic. "

" You're making it sound like you're doing something illegal, Tails D: ! "

" ..I assure you that it's nothing illegal. "

Tails opened the door and flipped on the basement lights, he closed the door once Charmy came in. As he finally got down the stairs, he walked over to his PC and turned it on. 

" Hey. I don't get why you told me not to scream or "snitch" to Sonic, this is just a computer! "

" You'll see why I told you those rules in a second. "

-----------------------------------------------------------------

A few hours go by like it's nothing, Charmy is shaking and Tails is just staring at his screen in shock.

" Charmy, did you see that? I could've SWORN I hid early! "

" Tails.. D: I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight.. "

" ..Hey Sonic? "

" Yes leelee? "

Leon smiled, just for a split second before his face returned back to being a frown.

" Did.. you mean it when you called me your friend when your little brother walked in on us? "

" Well no, I don't really know what we are. "

" I thought we were dating? "

" .. "

Sonic sat up, but he didn't get out of his bed.. he just stared at Leon as if he didn't know what to say to that.

Which was true, Sonic really didn't know what to say to Leon. He didn't know that he thought about it that way.

" Sonic? "

" I didn't know that you thought we were dating. "

" We.. we kiss and make-out? We hang out ALL the time, Sonic. Did you think I wouldn't assume we were dating? I just thought you didn't want to say it outright because it was already obvious. "

" I just thought we were in an unlabeled relationship or just friends who sometimes make-out. "

" Sonic. Are you serious? "

" I.. yea. I'm serious "

" Why the hell would we just be "friends" who sometimes make-out?! "

" Look, it made sense to me at the time and I'm.. I'm not ready for an actual relationship yet. "

" Then why did you kiss me the first time? "

" I was just high.. "

" ... "

For the rest of the night, there was awkward silence between the two of them until Leon had left in the morning. Leon thought that Sonic would at least say goodbye to him, but he didn't.
