Some time later
Two-Tailed jumped up sharply. as if he had a nightmare, although in reality there was a knock on his door and the fox, having calmed down, allowed him to enter. A secretary with long red hair walked into the office with a notepad in her hands. β Mr. Two-Tailed, I want to remind you that you have a dentist appointment this evening, and a large crowd of anthropomorphic animals are asking to see you. They say that they know you and want to see you urgently. β Yes? Well, if itβs urgent, then let them come in. I'm sure I'll sort everything out with them quickly. β answered the fox and the secretary left the office, allowing the blue hedgehog, along with black-scarlet and pink hedgehogs, two rabbits, a large and fat cat with a frog in his hands, and a red echidna to enter the office. β Tails?... TAILS!!! β He said hesitantly at first, and then stretched out his arms and, with a joyful cry, ran to his friend to hug him. However, the fox did not recognize him, and when that stranger came to hug him, he did not understand at all why he attacked him and tried to escape. β What are you doing? Take your hands off or I'll call security in an hour! β he said and broke free from the blue hedgehogβs embrace. The latter did not recognize his best friend, because Tails certainly loved to hug him, and he not only did not respond to his hugs, but was rude and even broke out of him, almost the same way he himself broke out of Amyβs embrace. β What are you?... Donβt you recognize we? β he asked desperately. β No. β fox answered coldly, but honestly. He really didn't remember him. Then he changed his surprise to severity. β And anyway, who are you all? Why did you even come to me? β Tails! β all that Shadow could say with bulging eyes. Usually he is used to losing his memory or some fragments of memory. But the fact that the two-tailed fox, who had even known him for a long time, forgot not only about him, but all of them... This was already like a blow below the belt for him. β Don't you remember us? β Big asked, stood there for a minute and held out his frog. β Do you remember my Froggy? β Tails, we missed you so much, we were worried about you and we flew here for you. Don't you recognize us? Amy was almost crying. β Sorry, but I donβt remember anything at all. I don't even know all of you... A-and-and... Who is... Times? β Tails himself asked them, not correctly hearing how they called him by his real name. β TAILS, COME TO YOURSELF!!! β Sonic freaked out, grabbed the fox by the shoulders and began to shake him, hoping that he would remember him. SONIC, STOP!!! - Knuckles shouted and, together with Shadow, tried to unhook the blue hedgehog from the fox. The latter managed to shout through the shaking: β Se-e-ecu-u-uri-i-ITY-Y-Y!!! Two Tolstoy thugs in business suits rushed into the office. β Did you call, Mr. Mayor? β PLEASE REMOVE THESE PSYCHOS FROM MY OFFICE!!! - the fox shouted, pointing his finger at his friends, whom he could not remember. β Wait! We are not crazy! We are his friends. He just doesn't remember us. β Amy resisted. β Take your hands off! - Vanilla tried to escape. β TAILS, WHY DON'T YOU REMEMBER US??? β Sonic stood his ground. β SONIC, LEAVE HIM!!! IT WILL NOT COME BACK!!! β Shadow shouted to Sonic himself. β LET ME GO!!! I KNOW HE'S STILL IN HIS HEAD!!! β Sonic tried to break free. β CALM DOWN, SONIC!!! YOU SEE THAT HE HAS AMNESIA!!! β Knuckles shouted. β Tails, it's me, your friend. Big! β cat said calmly, trying to hide his offense. β Mr. Tails, if you don't remember us, maybe you will remember this! β Cream intervened and put his diary on his desk, which Sonic dropped. β QUIET!!! β fox couldnβt stand this whole mess of screams and screamed, slamming his fists on the table, and Tailsβ diary fell off the table onto the floor. - GET THEM ALL OUT OF HERE IMMEDIATELY SO MY EYES WILL NOT SEE THEM ANYMORE AND MY EARS WILL NOT HEAR THEM ANYMORE!!! WHY ARE THEY POSING ME??? The guards immediately took out stun guns and, having knocked out Vanilla and Amy with them, dragged them along first. β WELL, LET MY MOTHER GO!!! β Cream shouted and attacked one of them from behind, trying to hit them on the head. However, her blows were only like a massage for him, so he stupidly ignored her. Four more entered the office, one grabbed the cat by the arms, twisting them behind his back and dragged him out into the street, and the rest... In general, each of them grabbed his hedgehog and echidna, and then dragged them along with him to the exit. β LET US GO, WE SWEAR THIS IS OUR FRIEND!!! β Sonic tried to resist and break free, but everything was clear. When they left the office and the fox was left alone in the office, he sighed heavily. β Where did these psychos come from? β he thought about them out loud and lay down in a chair. After sitting for a couple more minutes, his head suddenly began to pound. He couldn't help but think about these, as he called them, psychos. β I may not remember them and donβt know them, but I have a feeling that somewhere and once I knew them... Maybe they called me by a different name, they know me and I really Are you familiar with them?... I donβt remember something. He stood up and was about to leave, but accidentally tripped over a book on the floor and fortunately fell into his arms. He noticed that he had tripped over the book that the rabbit had left behind. He looked at the title of that book and read it out loud: β βThe diary of Miles Prower Tails... Tails?... They called me that... Is this really mine?...β β he thought, opened it and began to read. Strangely enough, he started reading from the very beginning.After some annoyingly long period of time
Two-Tailed read the diary until the last page, on which there were a couple of pages left and the remaining pages were already completely blank and unfinished. β That's it, dear diary! I seemed to be in a good mood that day, and all my true friends whom I trusted were angry with me and were rude to me. So there is only one thing left for me. When I finish recording you, I will probably leave this city. Goodbye Sonic, goodbye Shadow, goodbye Knuckles, goodbye Amy, goodbye Cream, goodbye to everyone I knew and the diary itself, goodbye! At times, now after this I just want to commit suicide, but I understand that maybe not everything is lost and I will find new friends who will really need me? And most importantly, with them, unlike the past, who now hate and persecute me, I will no longer feel like no one needs me, like a burden. Maybe I need to go somewhere to live where someone really needs me. Maybe to Station Square or to Russia. Iβll take a new name there and start a new life. Once again, goodbye forever, my dear diary, for this is my last entry to you. And I leave my signature as a parting note. Miles Prower. I'm Tails, I'm a two-tailed idiot. β After reading the last line out loud, something passed before his eyes. He saw how those same guests, one by one, with whom he was eating in different places, called him exactly that and left, and some even drove him away. Except for Shadow the Hedgehog. He just calmly walked by and said hello, and Tails himself was rude to him, mistakenly deciding that he also called him a two-tailed idiot. Yes? He finally remembered everything and it was thanks to his diary. And he realized what he had done now. Those friends came for him because they missed him and were ashamed of him for calling him such. And he called the guards and asked them to drive them away, and spat in their faces. β What have I done? The fox sat down on the cold floor, hugging his legs with his arms and lowering his head onto his knees. He was almost crying, ashamed of what he had done.
