Sally sat on her couch, chin resting on her hand, she displayed her usual distant look, despite seeming to be watching over the kids, her eyes are completely glazed over. Tails sees the pain in the Queen's eyes and slams his fists against the kitchen bench yelling "I can't take it anymore!" shocking sally with the smash of a plate. "You can't keep living like this, we can't keep living like this!"

In awe, Sally barely says "M..Miles?"

"It's time we address it Sal. You can't live like this, something is wrong and you know that everyone else can see it too. You can't keep ignoring the situation, take it from me, you have kids and they don't deserve to live like this."

She looks away "I don't know what your talking about Miles...:"

"Sal…" he breathes in, "I'm a mechanic, I'm not exactly an idiot. If I know how to build a plane from my own blueprints, I'm sure I can read a situation and god damn it Sally, your situation is a mess."

"Go to your rooms" she mutters, refusing to abandon eye contact with the Fox, her children left without a single sound. "You don't understand anything Mr. Miles Prower" She stands "You don't understand and you will never understand! There is no damn way in hell that I could ever leave or abandon Sonic and you know that. I love him still to this day. He's done so much for us, for the city… for me"

A look of disgust falls over Tails' face but keeping himself cool, he kisses his teeth with a smack "I never mentioned leaving sonic.'

The queen holds her place "but you were thinking it."

"You really don't believe I understand?" Tails continues "honestly and truly that I don't understand. Excuse me your royal highness but have we forgotten that I've known the man since the age of 4, but you really don't think I understand? He was there for me through the thickest situations but I don't understand? To this day I am visiting to help look after his fucking kids despite his lack of involvement in my life but I still don't understand?" the Fox stares piercingly into the squirrel's eyes "Sally, I love you, but you're a monster in my eyes, I watched him get married and with a broken heart, I smiled because I saw him live the life he dreamed and finally marry the woman he loved but sure, I'm the one who doesn't understand."

There's a silence in the air before Tails takes a final breath "Sally, you wouldn't know true love if it smacked you in the face, there are some sacrifices love makes you take and all you seem to do is ignore it."

Sally is shocked, almost speechless, she can only look over tails as is he were in a new light, another side of him has shown through that she never thought she'd see before. "Miles… are you…?" she gulps

"You really thought I was here for you?" he mutters, watching sally's eyes dart in any direction but to find his own deadly glare. "Sometimes people give up dreams and make sacrifices for those they love... look.." he holds off "I never said to leave Sonic but if were going to mention letting go, leaving, giving up dreams. Well... Sonic was my dream Sal, it hurt me enough to let him be with the woman he loves and it was hard enough to watch by, smiling, as if there wasn't an issue. So to think he could be with another woman hurts like you would not believe."

They hold off, taking a moment to collect themselves, the two fall to the floor.

"Mina and I didn't work, I loved Mina but it was never the same." Tails places both of his hands in his lap "Our marriage never filled that obvious void that sonic left me with the moment you started wearing that ring. I knew I'd be ok, that I could live with it as long as he was with the one he truly loved. So, to find out he's unhappy hurts, to find out it's not you, hurts."

Sally looks back on all this new information given to her, putting two and two together and filling in the spaces for her many questions. How long has Tails felt this way? Was this the source of his seemingly perfect marriage's failure? She becomes dizzy, holding her head in her hands "That's fucked Tails" is all she can say, she looks up at him desperate for a better answer, for a laugh, to know this was all a joke "This is really fucked Tails. My husband might be cheating on me and all you can do is tell me I'm a monster and that you've not only have you been gay this whole time but my husband is the one you want to be with? This is so fucked Tails."

A loud slap echoes through the hallway as a tear falls down the fox's cheek and Sally places her and over her own, now swelling cheek, realising the nerve she must of pulled to cause such a reaction.

"You know no one calls me Tails anymore and honestly, I don't think you have the right to call me that after what you just said, so I don't want to ever hear you say that word again"

Suddenly, the silence is broken by the sound of a car pulling in through the driveway, there he appears, the Blue hedgehog, the king, sir. Ogilvie "Sonic" Maurice Hedgehog himself, placing his coat over his shoulder as he kicks at his shoes. As per usual, unamused, uninterested, sighing as though each day of his life had become harder and harder to live through. Looking up, he sees tails and sally staring at each other with a silence so sharp it could cut him, and his children, nowhere to be seen.

"Are the kids in bed already?" he asks, attempting to break the uncomfortable tension.

I'm sorry, sonic RAN HOME, THEY COULD HEAR HIS FUCKING SHOES APPROACH FROM MILES AWAY, HE PARKED HIS FUCKING SHOES IN THE DRIVEWAY! WHY WOULD THE WORLDS FASTED HEDGEHOG HAVE A CAR? OF COURSE HE RAN!

Suddenly, the silence is broken by the sound of shoes parking, his very tired, mid life crisis fueled legs stop at a halt, REEEEEK! Dust blows off through the driveway as he parks his fucking shoes and the room becomes a mess with all the fucking wind resistance. There, walking into his home with his very tired legs because sure, he can still somehow walk after all that running, he appears, the Blue hedgehog, the king, sir. Ogilvie "Sonic" Maurice Hedgehog himself, placing his coat over his shoulder as he kicks at his shoes. As per usual, unamused, uninterested, sighing as though each day of his life had become harder and harder to live through. Looking up, he sees tails and sally staring at each other with a silence so sharp it could cut him, and his children, nowhere to be seen.

"Are the kids in bed already?" he asks, attempting to break the uncomfortable tension.

Tails looks away, "think about what I told you Sally"

Sally opens her mouth to respond but nothing comes out. She felt weak that she couldn't say anything in front of sonic despite her many years learning to deal with the duties of a queen.

"I'm off" continues tales "see you later Sal" he walks to the front door, refusing to even glance at the hedgehog he still nods his head respectfully "Sonic…" before slamming the door behind him.

Sonic feels a chill through the room and laughs it off, unable to even fathom what their conversation was about, but whatever it was it left neither of the fellow freedom fighters happy and he suddenly feared the worst, looking deep at his reflection in the eyes of his wife. Sally walks into the kitchen to inspect the smashing noise from earlier. "Sal-"

"Dont."

Sonic lowers his white gloved hands

"Just.. dont."
