Umbrellas

Chapter 21: Bath Time

12/14/11 Deathy: [11:40am]: I finished my physics final at around 11:30-ish. Math 3 was easy as physics. There was only 1 problem on each that I didn't know. Also, my friend, Leffie, got me a Christmas gift! It's like the 3rd time a friend, who was not blood related, has given me a gift. Now onto Umbrellas! I hope you guys like this chapter.

Disclaimer: I am just a fan of the Sonic Francize. I have nothing to do with its creation or workings. Please enjoy!

"I don't feel comfortable." Miles stated as his prime-self turned on the tub faucet.

"For the last time, you and me are pretty much the same person." Tails told him as he grabbed two towels.

"Can't I just bathe alone?" The blue eyed fox whined.

"I don't trust you to be alone in this zone." The orange fox answered truthfully.

"So you're going to bathe with me?" Miles raised an eyebrow.

"We're pretty much like brothers. So no prob." Tails shrugged.

"When do brothers bathe together?" Miles questioned.

"Me and Sonic take baths together." Tails replied.

"When? When you were kids?" Miles hissed.

"Last week." Tails replied with all seriousness.

"You're joking." The yellow fox breathed. The orange fox shook his head as reply. "I can't believe you."

"I can barely believe you." Tails shot back. "Okay, the bath is ready." The fox stated. "Time to get in."

"Can't I skip the bath and just change clothes?" The yellow fox protested.

"No. You can not." Tails answered. "You will take a bath and be clean before changing attire. Now strip or I'll strip you." Sonic's little brother was dead serious. The grey haired fox tried to hatch an escape plan, but none came to him. His only last resort was to cross his arms and pout. This did not phase Tails one bit. He grabbed his Moebian-self and forced him out of his suppression squad uniform. The fox now sat in the tub. He was not amused in any shape or form. Tails sat down next to him. He grabbed a wash cloth and handed it to him.

"Here you go." He smiled as Miles took the wash cloth. "You'll feel a lot better when you're clean." He handed him a bar of soap.

Miles put some soap on the wash cloth and began to scrub. Tails did the same.

The blue blur came to his best bud's workshop. He needed his help translating Rob O' Hedge's old English grammar. Sonic may be the fastest thing alive, but he could never really get what Rob was trying to say.

"Tails!" Sonic called as he opened the front door. "You awake yet?"

Miles instantly hid himself under the water. Tails sighed.

"Don't do that!" He ordered, pulling the yellow fox back up. "You'll drown yourself. I'll handle Sonic, you continue bathing."

"Kay." Miles replied shyly.

The orange fox got out and put on a robe. He opened the door and stuck his head out. "Hey Sonic!" Tails waved. "I'm taking a bath now. What's up?"

"I need to call and ask Rob something. However, you and I both know I won't understand a single word he'll say."

"You really should learn Shakespearean language." Tails laughed.

"Tails, I tried." Sonic replied with a sad sigh. "I really did try. But reading Romeo and Juliet didn't help. I still have no clue what on Mobius they're talking about in that book."

"Okay, just let me finish my shower." Tails stated. Miles, however, dropped the soaped before Tails could the door.

"Is someone else in there with you?" Sonic asked.

The orange fox's expression turned grim. He glared over his shoulder. "Yes." He replied reluctantly. The yellow fox looked up from the tub with big, round, innocent eyes that begged his brethren not to kill him. "Myself from another zone broke into my house," He looked at his best friend in the whole universe, "and begged me to help him with his issues last night. He apparently wets the bed every time he has a nightmare!" Tails yelled, tilting his head back some so his counterpart could hear him better.

Miles hung his head in shame. "Would it ever end?" He questioned himself. He curled up and rubbed his eyes. "I'm not going to cry." He thought to himself. Tails noticed this. Immediate guilt sweep over the two tailed fox.

"He's a bit sensitive right now." Tails stated. "So I don't want to leave him alone."

"Okay." Sonic nodded. The blue blur understood perfectly that his little brother was a complex guy. He, himself, couldn't predict how Tails would act when he was having problems. Sonic remember when Tails started getting embarrassed about wetting the bed. He would get all quiet then burst in to tears at breakfast without anyone saying anything. Tails just felt that guilty about certain things. Then there was the whole Fiona issue. The blue eyed fox had acted perfectly fine. Then WHAM-OH! He fought Sonic in a jail cell as the prisoners made bets on who would win. Tails trying to beat the fastest thing alive in a fist fight was something Sonic believed would never happen. But to his disbelieve it did.

In the bath room, Tails picked up the soap and got back in the tub. "I'm sorry I embarrassed you." He apologized sweetly. The guilt was obviously showing. He knew Miles was not in the state to fight, or handle any more stress then there already was. Tails should've kept that in mind. Miles was bottling up his pain once again.

"It's okay. We embarrass ourselves all the time. It's only natural." Miles spoke softly. Tails smiled. Miles rarely admitted that he and him were pretty the same person, but not the same. The orange fox scooted over closer to his Moebian-self. The blue eyed fox needed to smile. Tails could tell.

"HEY!" Sonic heard the scream. It wasn't Tails, he noted. It must've been the Tails form another zone. "Stop it!" the voice cried. It sounded so familiar to Sonic. He knew he heard that voice somewhere before.

"Oh, come on!" Tails' voice rang out. A laugh accompanied it. "You need to laugh more often."

"Stop tickling me!" The voice begged. "Stop it!"

Sonic sighed. Tails was in a tickle monster mood. He laughed himself, though that new voice sounded so familiar. It bugged him to no end. Water was splashing everywhere as the two foxes continue to play fight with each other. After fifteen minutes of the continuous screams, laughs, cries for assistance, Sonic the Hedgehog finally got off the couch he had been sitting on. He slowly walked up the stairs.

"Tails, ya'll alright in there?" He asked, tapping his foot.

"Yeah, we're fine." Tails replied.

"Yeah, we're just peachy!" The other Tails from another zone replied. That voice sounded way too familiar for Sonic's comfort.

"I'm coming in." Sonic announced as he opened the door. He gasped as his widened eyes viewed the orange two tailed fox holding a yellow two tailed fox in a full nelson. They were both laughing as they struggled against each other. "For the love of Tikal, why is Miles here?" Sonic exclaimed.

"I swallowed my pride and begged him for help with something." Miles replied as he struggled to get out of Tails' grasp.

"Wonderful to know." Sonic replied smugly. He looked at his best buddy. The look sent a telepathic message to his best bud. One that the young fox understood perfectly.

"We'll be down in a second." He answered. The blue hedgehog nodded and closed the door.

He shook his head as he went back down stairs. "I wonder if Tails has any food in his kitchen." He mumbled.

"Okay. Play time is over." Tails told his counterpart with a slight pout. He released Miles from the full nelson. "Come on, let's go get dressed."

"I brought some clothes with me." Miles informed him. "There in my suit case."

"Which is in my lab downstairs." Tails noted. He put a robe on and handed one to his Moebian-self. Miles took it and put it on. Tails opened the door and walked out. Miles followed like a puppy, who wasn't really sure what to do. The orange two tailed fox went down stairs to the lab. The yellow fox was just about to follow when the worst thing in the world that could every happen, happened.

"Hey guys!" A female voice rang out. Miles stiffen as if he had been struck by lightning. He told himself that if he didn't move that maybe she wouldn't see him.
