Not As Pretty Weird people are to life what scent is to flowers.

Honestly, during the war of Sega and Nintendo, my family invested in the Nintendo system. So, my experience with Sonic and friends were limited to sleep overs and afternoons after school at friend’s homes.

Was Sonic the Hedge Hog that quality of a game, though? I mean let’s be honest; Super Mario, Zelda, and Punch Out were time well spent in comparison.

But I am sure that there are still some die-hard Sega fans out there; still betting on this horse and holding their breath for the next time Nintendo will throw Sonic a bone and introduce him as a secret character on a upcoming game.

(Yeah, it happened. Do you think lightning strikes twice in the same spot?)

So sad watching celebrities fall.

And think, what came of Tails? Did he start a successful crack habit to forget Sonic’s abandonment? Maybe he is turning tricks–two tail for the price of one–somewhere on the sunset strip?

No, I think Tails had always been a survivor and a believer. I say he probably found a job to get by and waits for Sonic to give him a call, faith untarnished. I think, he still thinks there is a future. He will most likely start a family and one day bring his son out into the field to show him how to fly, like dad once did. At this time he will tell his son of the past adventures, the fame, and the reason why he tail practices still because he misses it all. And his child will convince him that he has the potential to start again. And that he never needed Sonic. And the child’s statement will ring with truth. And Tails will set out to start a new adventure game.

But that night, on the way back home, he’ll get hit by a truck and die suddenly.

And Tail’s son will be wrecked by the idea that his father’s sudden death was only coincidence, which he can not accept. So he creates a new religion to convince himself that death is predestined and there is a plan. He renames himself Tails the Savior, demonizes Sonic, and sets Nintendo as the institution of Hell. He grows extremely rich by donations to his church from those desperate looking for answers.

Tails the Savior’s faithful are mostly past Sega fans.

The fans come and go. It is the side kicks that will do anything to make you look good in hopes to share a little of the spot light.
