The GG Connection

Episode Four: Ch-Ch-Ch-Chill?

Like the rest of the missions, it all started bright and early in the morning. Melaney was given her own room next to Angel's room and was allowed to stay there for as long as she wanted to. The group of four were once again standing on the metal teleporting plate, with Unknown and Melaney standing near the mechanism to activate the teleporter.

"Okay everyone, you ready for another fun-filled, action-packed adventure?" Unknown asked excitedly.

"Why do we always start the missions in the early morning?" Gold asked groggily, holding a cup of coffee in his hands.

"The early bird catches the worm!" Unknown stated. "And in this case, the early fox, the early alicorn, the early hedgehog, and the early frozen hedgehog."

"Let's just get this over with, I wanna work on music stuff later with Melaney," Angel said, crossing her arms.

"When did you do music stuff?" Gold asked her.

"For a while, actually. I can play the bell set and Melaney plays the clarinet," Angel explained. "I do things other than freeze stuff."

"I never said you don't do other things. I bet you are very talented," he responded.

"More talented than you," Glimpse muttered.

"HEY!"

"Anyways, let's do this!" Unknown shouted, throwing the switch. However, the group didn't teleport anywhere. They stayed on the metal plate looking very confused.

"Unknown, why did we not go somewhere?" Gold asked.

"Did you break it?" Glimpse asked the same person.

"Trust me, if I broke it, a lot more things would be broken other than this teleportation machine," Unknown muttered, looking around the mechanism.

"Well, looks like we don't have a mission today. Bye," Angel said, already stepping off the machine.

"Wait! You still have a mission!" Unknown stated, putting a finger up.

"The machine is broken, so what mission could we possibly have?" Angel responded, putting her hands on her hips. Unknown turned around and went to the random closet that was right behind him. On the ground of the closet was the Eon Shard!

"Oh, so that's why it didn't teleport us!" Gold pointed out.

"Thanks, Captain Obvious," Twilight muttered, but Gold didn't hear it.

"No, I'm the Captain!" Unknown rebutted. "Well, looks like the mission is over."

"Does this mean?" Twilight asked Unknown.

"That's right! We all get a free day today! You can do anything you want today. Well, not everything," Unknown replied with a sly grin. He then winked and snapped his fingers a bunch of times.

"Thank mangoes! C'mon Angel, we got some triplets and eighth notes we need to conquer!" Melaney exclaimed, already running toward the music room. The icy hedgehog also started running toward where the room was. However, while Gold and Glimpse got off the metal plate, Twilight stayed on.

"Twilight, you heard Unknown, we have the day to ourselves," Gold said to the alicorn.

"I know, that's why I want to go back to Equestria. My friends are probably worried sick and Princess Celestia probably has some princess duties that I need to do," she explained.

"Aw c'mon Twi, we have so much here that we can do!" Gold whined.

"Maybe later, Gold," she said sternly to the fox. "Unknown, if you could please send me to Equestria."

"On it!" he responded, changing the location and flipping the switch. Just like that, Twilight was gone and headed to Equestria. Meanwhile, Angel and Melaney were in the music room in front of their respective instruments. The music room was a relaxing tan colored room with various musical notes scattered on the walls. Several different instruments, even some unique otherworldly instruments, were set up in the large room. The two girls were in the middle of the room with their respective instruments.

"Okay, what should we do?" Angel asked, twirling one of her mallets for the bell set.

"Disney songs?" Melaney suggested.

"We could, I think I remember a few. Just, please, nothing from the Dorito-head show," Angel agreed. She then noticed Melaney was trying to use her clarinet and it looked completely uncomfortable. She was fiddling around with the keys of the instrument and trying to see what the hell she was doing.

"Ugh, this is impossible! I don't have enough fingers to cover all the holes and my fucking Yoshi nose is blocking my sight!" she complained, making Angel laugh at her misfortune.

"Just change into a human or something," she suggested.

"Wait, I can do that?"

"Yeah, I remember you did it back in TDU."

"Well, how do I do it?"

"I don't know, it just happened! Say an Indian chant or something."

"An Indian chant? Really?" Melaney deadpanned.

"That's all I got," Angel said with a laugh. "Just kidding, just try thinking about being a human. With how things are going around here, I'm pretty sure that's all it takes."

"I'll give it a shot," Melaney said with a sigh. She just stood there, thinking about what she would look like as a human. Suddenly, a white light enveloped her body, making it impossible to see what was happening. The light faded and left behind a white human with brown hair and brown eyes. "Wow, I actually did it!"

"Yes, yes, you did. Now, let's do this shit," Angel said and hit one of the notes on her bell set.

In Equestria...

Spike was taking a nap on a pile of books he was supposed to put away in alphabetical order. These books weren't knocked over, but rather, Spike decided to use them as his mattress and pulled them down. Suddenly, Twilight popped into the room, waking the baby dragon up.

"I swear I wasn't sleeping on the job! Look, I'm putting books away right now!" Spike said frantically, throwing them.

"It's fine, Spike, I knew you were going to be sleeping the entire time anyways," Twilight sighed, walking upstairs to gather some things.

"Oh. Well, how did that thing with Tails go?" Spike asked curiously.

"It wasn't even with Tails!" she shouted from the upper floor.

"What? Then what did he want and where have you been for the past three days?" Spike asked while actually putting the books away in alphabetical order.

"Well," she said as she walked back downstairs with a saddlebag on. "He needed my help getting these Eon Shard things, and-"

"Oh boy, Eon. That means-"

"Yes, Gold is involved. So is Glimpse and a new girl I met, Angel. But you know how Gold is," she said with a sigh.

"I mean, he's cool and all, but he's kind of...clingy," he responded.

"I agree. He's a good friend and all, but I really don't want to be in any serious relationship with him. He's...well..."

"Irrational?"

"Well..."

"Doesn't realize he's just infatuating over someone instead of actually liking them?"

"Yes, but..."

"Doesn't know when to stop being nice just for the sake of trying to get you to like him and start being a genuinely nice person?" Twilight just stared at the baby dragon for a minute, blinking twice at him.

"You know, I ought to make an honorary Element just for you. The Element of Brutal Honesty," she said with a giggle.

"I say it how it is," he replied with a shrug. "And make that out of emeralds, please."

"I appreciate his niceness, but it's just too much for me. Plus, he knows I like Tails. Why doesn't he just...you know, move on?"

"Like I said, he's clingy. I think you should probably tell it to him straight out."

"I mean, I planned on doing that eventually, I just don't wanna...well, to put it bluntly, make him feel like shit."

"Maybe that's what he needs. Don't be a jerk about it, just tell him."

Twilight sighed at his statement and thought of an idea. "I will. Today. He wanted to hang out with me today, so I will. I can invite him here for lunch or something and talk to him. That should work. Hopefully, he won't take it too hard," she explained while pacing around.

"I wouldn't count on it, Twi. He's been like this for a while now," Spike responded.

"Well, we'll just have to wait and see," she said. "Please finish rearranging the books while I go do some stuff for Celestia. Maybe, when I come back, I'll have a nice large sapphire for you."

"Last time you said that, you forgot," Spike huffed, crossing his arms.

"I won't forget this time," Twilight promised.

"Pinkie Promise. And I'll make sure Pinkie knows if you forget," he threatened.

"Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye. There, you happy?"

"I'll be happy when I'm eating my big, delicious, juicy sapphire," he said, salivating at the thought.

"Just get the books done," Twilight said with a stern glare as she left the library.

Back at the mansion's music room...

"Your eighth notes are so rushed!" Melaney complained.

"They are not! I just follow the beat of my own drum! And that beat has slightly rushed eighth notes," Angel countered with a laugh.

"Well, get it together! We only have two days until the show!" Melaney shouted.

"Show? Melaney, it's just us two," Angel pointed out. Melaney looked around for a second and realized her mistake.

"Oh, yeah. Sorry, I got caught up in the mood," she said, rubbing the back of her head.

"I wanted to take a break anyways. These triplets kill," Angel responded, throwing her mallets behind her and taking a seat in a chair.

"So, how is it walking around with those three?" the human asked, also taking a seat.

"It's alright. Torturing Glimpse on every mission is definitely a plus. Gold is okay to be around. And Twilight, she's alright. For now," Angel answered.

"For now?"

"She seems to have something for...well, you know who."

"Oooooo, him," Melaney realized. "Is somebody a little jelly?" she muttered.

"I am not jealous! Nor will I ever be! She can have him for all I care!" Angel rebutted, turning her body away from Melaney with crossed arms.

"Oh really now?" Melaney asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes, really!" Angel shouted, snapping her head toward Melaney but quickly snapped her head back. Melaney staring at her wasn't helping either.

"Uh huh, sure. Anyways, what have you guys done so far?" she asked.

"Well," Angel answered, sitting back in a relaxed position. "We've defeated Eggman like twelve million times, took a Shard from Donald Trump's hair, and yesterday, we found a Shard in the..." Angel paused, remembering the copy of the computer room.

"Oh yeah, the computer room thing. How did that go?" Melaney asked.

"The computer room. Melaney, it was exactly the one from TDU, it just looked old and unused. And the monitors, the buttons, the lights, the big screen, the DVD, the-"

"The DVD?" Melaney asked, eyebrows raised. "You mean the DVD that showed all the secrets and shit?"

"Yes, that one. It was there for some reason. Glimpse was about to watch it, but I knocked it away from him. I didn't ever want to see that room again," Angel answered, ducking her head down.

"That doesn't make any sense. Why would Unknown or anyone in here have that exact room and DVD in there?" Melaney pondered.

"I don't know! All I know is I never want to do anything remotely close to that again. Nothing to do with that or him," Angel said, shaking a bit. Melaney paused before cautiously asking a question.

"How is Tails recently?" she asked, wincing right after. Angel thought about just completely ignoring the question, not even raising her head. But she did.

"Well, he isn't terrible. He was okay when I first saw him like three days ago. He even called me after fights with Egghead. But, you know how it is," she answered calmly. She closed her eyes and let out a deep breath.

"That's good. At least he isn't being a total asshole," Melaney said.

"That doesn't excuse him for being an asshole back then!" Angel snapped.

"Never said it did. But, at least, he's learning," Melaney pointed out. Angel leaned back in her chair and stared at the ceiling, sighing as she did so.

"Yeah."

Without warning, Gold came running into the room, cheering and yelling. He even knocked over a few instruments in doing so.

"Watch it, you idiot, that shit is expensive! Why are you running around for?" Melaney asked.

"Something awesome just happened!" Gold exclaimed excitedly.

"Did your balls finally drop?" Angel asked with a sarcastic happy face. The wrist device on Angel gave off a loud air-horn.

"First of all, rude," Gold said, stopping his running and pointing at the icy hedgehog. "Second, guess who just landed a date!"

"Not Glimpse?" Angel asked.

"Correct! I did!" Gold answered proudly.

"Gold, your hand doesn't count as a date," Melaney said, which made both of the girls laugh.

"So savage today, jeez," he said. "Anyways, Twilight just sent me a text through the communicator thingy. She wants to meet me for lunch!"

"You sure it's a date?" Angel asked.

"I mean, even if it isn't, it's still something! I see you girls later!" Gold talked quickly, running back to the teleportation room. The girls looked at each other with deadpanned expressions.

"I don't buy it. I've only been around the girl for three days, I can tell that she doesn't like him," Angel said.

"Well, maybe she changed. Like you said, you've only known her for three days," Melaney pointed out.

"Well, we'll have to wait and see if he comes back crying or not," she responded.

"You think he's that sensitive?"

"He's kinda emotional. Just a little bit."

"How do you know that?"

"I've known him for like four months I think."

"Wow, didn't think you knew him for that long."

"Yeah. Should we do another song?"

Meanwhile at Equine Cafe in Ponyville...

The cafe was small and simple. There were only a few booths inside the place with a front counter showing a variety of goodies. While there were a bunch of treats on display, they had large chalkboard menu hanging above it, showing an assortment of different lunch options. The booths inside were packed for the late lunch rush, but the outside only had a few ponies sitting there. The outside tables were wooden and and red umbrellas in the middle of them. At one of them was Gold, frantically looking around to see where Twilight was.

"Where is she? She said she would be here right on time," Gold said to himself, still looking around. He then spotted her walking toward him and gave her a warm smile. She sat down across from him. "Good afternoon, Twilight," he said happily.

"Hi," she answered back simply.

"So, I guess we should go get the food first. I can go order it. What do you-" Gold said, getting up, but he was interrupted.

"Actually, I want to talk first," Twilight insisted.

"Oh, okay," Gold responded, calmly sitting back down.

"Look, I can tell that you like me. Isn't that right?" she asked.

"Well, yeah, I like you a lot. I'm pretty sure I've already told you the millions of things I like about you," he answered.

"And I appreciate it, I really do. You are an awesome person and a great friend."

"And?"

"Well, I really don't like you the same way. I'm kinda trying to get Tails to like me right now, and there's a lot going on. I'm really conflicted, and you trying to get with me isn't really helping," she said, looking straight into his eyes.

"What are you saying?" Gold asked, obviously not taking the hint. Twilight rolled her eyes over his naivety.

"Gold, I'm trying to be as nice as I can while making it certain you get the picture. We can't be together. I like Tails, and you are just being nice to me just to try to get me to like you."

"That's not true!" Gold said, knitting his eyebrows. "I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I try to be the nicest I can so that you can be happy."

"That's my point. You aren't being nice because you are a nice person; you are being nice just so I can see you. I bet there's a hundred things that I do that are bad, but every single one of them is seen as good by you."

"But I am a nice person!" he blurted out. He was feeling like his heart was being stabbed by a knife.

"And I can tell you are. But stop being nice to me for the sake of trying to date me, and start being nice as a friend. Tails is your best friend, you should be excited he might be with someone like me," she explained. Gold paused before saying anything else.

"So that's it? That's all? After how nice I was to you?" he asked, sitting back in his chair.

"I'm sorry if you are upset, but I had to tell you the truth. I hope we can stay friends, especially since we are on an adventure together. Being great friends during a fun adventure would be fun, wouldn't it?"

"Yeah. Fun," he muttered.

"Great! Now if you'll excuse me, I have some work from Celestia that I need to catch up on. I'll see you later," Twilight said, getting up and walking down the street. Gold just stared down in the ground while slouched in his chair, his arms crossed and his eyes glazed over.

"We didn't even eat lunch," he muttered to himself, sitting alone.

Back at Unknown's mansion…

"Okay, let's stop, please. I don't think I can take any more triplets and rushed eighth notes," Melaney said, taking her clarinet away from her mouth.

"They aren't rushed! It's just my style of eighth notes," Angel responded, putting her mallets on top of her bell set.

"There's only one style of eighth notes!"

"Whatever," Angel responded. Suddenly, her wrist communicator started to ring. Taking a look at it, her eyes widened.

"Is it the pizza guy?" Melaney asked.

"Hush," she told the human. Angel pressed the green answer button and brought her wrist up to her mouth. "Tails?"

"Wow, that's the third time you've answered my call," Tails answered from the other side.

"Yeah, I did. What do you need?" she asked.

"Well, I was wondering if you would want to come over and talk about stuff." Angel looked at her friend with wide eyes, who nodded furiously. She winced. Melaney glared at her, not letting up until Angel gave the appropriate response. "Uh, Angel, you there?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm here. Um, sure. When do you want me over?" she asked.

He shrugged, despite her not being able to see him. "I'm not really doing anything, so how about now? Unless you're busy or-"

"No! I'm free! Just gimme a few minutes to get ready and um...you know, stuff. I'll be there shortly," she interrupted, abruptly ending the call.

Melaney immediately grabbed her by the shoulders. "You know what this means, right?!"

"It doesn't mean anything! He probably wants to talk about one of his stupid inventions or some shit like that." She broke away from her grip. "It's nothing."

"Riiiight. I bet that's exactly what you are thinking," Melaney said.

"It is! It's been four months, Melaney, if he was going to talk about it, don't you think he would have already?"

"He would've if you didn't avoid him by wandering everywhere for those months!"

She groaned. "I need to go get ready."

As she stomped upstairs, Melaney yelled, "You don't need to get ready! All you do is run a brush through your hair four times!"

Upstairs, Angel was sitting on the edge of her bed while staring into the mirror across from it. "Okay, calm down, Angel," she whispered to herself. "It's probably nothing important, right? He's had plenty of chances to bring it up...kinda." She shook her head. "Whatever." She shook her head. "Whatever he says isn't going to change anything, anyway." A sharp pain came from her chest as her heart thudded against her rib-cage, causing her to put a hand over it. "Chill. Just...not literally."

A few minutes later, she was outside walking toward his house. Back inside, the teleportation machine turned on and emitted a bright light. The light ceased and Gold was standing there alone. He walked into the adjacent living room and saw Glimpse and Unknown sitting on the couch. The brown hedgehog noticed his presence.

"There he is, the man of the hour! How did it go?" he asked the fox. The fox glared at the him, but Unknown's smile did not diminish at all.

"Did you guys make out or...?" Glimpse asked, also turning around to look at the fox.

Gold gave him the same glare and then looked at the ground. "I'm going over to Tails' house."

"Uh, you alright?" Glimpse asked him with a concerned look.

Gold snapped his head to look directly at him. "I'm fine. I'm going to Tails' house," he growled.

"Uh, well, alright then. Angel just went over there, you know."

"I'm still going."

"Well, good luck. I don't know why they decided to meet up, but I feel like it's something…" Glimpse trailed off as Gold was already walking outside.

At Tails' house…

Angel stood outside Tails' door, staring into its wooden surface.

"Okay Angel, just walk in there," she said, adding a sigh afterwards, leaning against the door. "Everything's going to be okay. You're over it. Whatever happens won't make any difference. If he's not over it, it's his pro-" Just then, the door to his house swung open and she almost fell into the house, but she caught herself before she did. Regaining her composure, she looked up and saw Tails holding the door open with a very confused expression.

"Angel? Why were you just standing out here?" he asked.

"I was, uh...waiting for you to open the door for me. You know, like a gentleman would," she answered, crossing her arms.

Tails sighed. "Come inside and sit down." He held the door open for her as she stepped inside his living room. She had never been in his house before, so it was all new to her. The living room had light yellow walls and two simple white couches facing each other, with a glass table between them. The table had a single item on it; a green vase holding a single rose. The back wall of the room had a flat-screen TV hanging on it. He closed the door and watched her look around. "Do you want anything to drink?"

Her attention went back to him after asking that question. "A glass of water would be nice." Tails gave her a simple nod and walked into the kitchen to get the drinks. He came back a second later with the two waters and handed her one. "Thank you," she said quietly.

"Yeah."

"So, what did you want me to come over for?" she asked.

"Just to talk about...well, you know," he responded, taking a sip of his water. Angel stared down into her glass of water. She knew exactly what he wanted to talk about. Whether or not she wanted to talk about it was a different story. He noticed her staring and grabbed the TV remote to try to break the ice. "Let's see if there's anything good on today, hm?" He started to flip through the channels to see what was on, possibly something she liked. As he surfed the channels, his finger stop pressing the button when he heard a very familiar voice.

"Hello everyone, and welcome back to our Total Drama Special where we have been going through the many moments of the show! As you may recall, we are talking about Total Drama's top five best couples, and it's time to announce number one! Personally, I would have put myself dating myself as number one," the black haired man said on the television said. "But, the producers wouldn't allow it. They still haven't gotten my latte...anyways, the best Total Drama couple is…" Tails could predict who it was going to be, but he couldn't bring himself to change the channel for some reason. He looked over at Angel who was watching the screen closely, the water in her glass beginning to freeze. "Tails and Angel from Total Drama Universe! These two came onto the show fresh out of destroying the Capitol and turned out to be one of the most popular couples we've ever had on the show. They went through all kinds of crap, including, but not limiting to, evil possessed dolls taking over Tails' body, having to deal with a Disney character gone evil, many idiots, and much more, but they stuck it to the end. The only reason I like them is because of all the ratings they gave me! For those wondering where they are now and what happened...well they aren't together anymore. And most likely never will be," the man continued. Tails' hand was shaking by now, the remote in his hand shaking as well. He heard Angel's glass shatter as the ice in it made it explode. "Tails cheated on her with a stupid pink chick, they both got really mad at each other, and they still didn't make it up when she found out he didn't do it under his own control! After that, Tails was mostly physically unharmed, but Angel froze to death with a rock stabbing her in the heart! Brutal. But hey, you gotta love those ratings, am I right?"

Tails finally was able to turn the TV off completely. He then gently tossed the remote onto the coffee table. Angel placed whatever was left of her glass onto the table and sunk back into the couch. Tails looked at her for a second, but quickly looked away in fear of her seeing him stare at her. He thought for a second of what to say. He had planned on talking to her about this stuff, but not in a million years did he think that Chris would come on the TV and lay the whole situation right in front of them.

"Well, that was nice," he said.

"Yeah. Definitely," she responded sarcastically.

"Oh, you know what part I meant," Tails said to her. An awkward silence followed. He stared at his own feet, moving them up and down. Angel was staring at no specific place, just contemplating the situation at hand, a hand pressed against her heart. Tails sighed and decided to be the one to break the awkward silence. "You know, it could be nice again."

"Yeah, it could be, if you hadn't kissed Amy like a fucking moron," she snapped.

Tails grit his teeth. Not this again. "Maybe I wouldn't have if I wasn't under hypnosis."

She quickly got up from the couch. "We have been over this a thousand times! That isn't how it works! You have to want to do it! You'd think with how smart you are, you would've figured that out by now!"

Tails sighed deeply and looked her straight in the eye. "Look, it's not like I was thinking of her constantly. I wasn't thinking of kissing her twenty-four seven. It just happened on that one day-"

"That one day was our three month anniversary! Out of all the days to pick, you just had to-"

Tails stood up as well, never breaking eye contact. "Shit like that happens all the time! It's something that happens to guys, and girls too! I remember you always having that thing for Jack Frost, am I right?"

She growled at his statement. "That's not the point! Instead of explaining you had some sort of feelings for her and waiting it out, you decided to defend yourself and not give a shit about mine. Do you have any idea how much that hurt?"

Tails jabbed himself in the chest with his thumb. "Oh, and I wasn't hurt? Do you know how painful it is to wake up with a broken nose, have your best friend tell you that you cheated on your girlfriend, not remember it at all, and then have to rewatch it happen because some asshole decided to burn it onto a DVD?!"

Angel swiftly brought out her icy spear and threw it right into glass coffee table, shattering it and the vase on it. "Not as painful as freezing from the inside out! Eleven days, freezing bit. By. Bit. Progressively getting colder and colder until it gets to the point where you can't feel anything, and then turning into an ice statue! Not to mention the fucking rock that went straight into my heart!"

"You can't blame that on me, I didn't know you were going to be frozen!" he defended himself.

"Yeah, but you did know that I was hurt, and instead of trying to heal that, you only worried about yourself!"

"You didn't give me the chance! The day after it happened I tried to talk to you about it-"

"Yeah. And then you said right in front of Ash that I killed his father," she rebutted. Tails' pupils got smaller when she mentioned that. "Thanks for bringing that up so delicately, by the way. Must've been great for him to find out through two people arguing what turned out to be a terrible relationship-"

Tails regained his composure. "Don't try to change the subject!"

"Like you did back there?" She reminded him.

Tails groaned loudly and stared at the ceiling before looking back at her. "There's no reasoning with you!"

"And you're logic is unreasonable!" she retorted. "If there was any night where you could've done it, it shouldn't have been that one because of how much you loved me-"

"But I do love you!" Tails blurted out. If there was a stop switch on this argument, that line was it. Angel's eyes widened and her face flushed. Tails' eyes widened as well after realized what he just shouted out. Her spear came back to her hand with noticing it; she was too entranced in the tens of thoughts running across her mind, so much that she didn't notice the sharp, stabbing, pain in her chest.

"I...I need to go," she said, quickly going to the door and flinging it open and stepping outside, slamming it shut. On the inside, Tails slowly sat back on his couch while exhaling. He buried his head in his hands while cursing to himself all the while. The doorknob was covered in ice.

Back outside, Angel was breathing in and out with quick breaths. Her grip on her spear got tighter as she stared at the ground. It was freezing beneath her, the ice spreading across the ground in wacky patterns. Noticing this, she stood up straight and exhaled deeply, the ice coming to a stop. She noticed that the sunrise was happening, casting a shadow on the ground. There was a cliff that hung above the ocean near Tails' house, offering a perfect view of the sunset. She saw a figure sitting on the cliff; she couldn't make out who it was because of the sunlight. Walking closer toward whoever it was, she saw the distinct three tails of Gold. He was just sitting there, staring into the amber sunset casting its final rays for the day. She took a seat next to him, letting her feet dangle off the edge. The fox acknowledged her arrival with the turn of his head.

"Hey," he said quietly to her.

"Hey," she said back.

She took a look at the sunset. It truly was the best place to watch the sunset. It wasn't uncomfortable to sit on the cliff, the sounds of the ocean below crashing against the cliff was a wonderful sound to hear, and there was no man-made objects or anything of the sort to block the view. After leaving such a stressful environment with Tails, it was a breath of much needed fresh air. "What's going on with you?" Gold asked her. It took only a second to think of a simple response.

"Feelings suck," she responded.

"Tell me about it," he agreed, casting his gaze back on the sunset. They stared in silence for a moment before he spoke up again. "Have you ever liked someone so much and did so much for them, and it all turned out to be for nothing in the end?"

She scoffed at his question. "Story of my life."

"Oh, right. That thing with...during...shit, I'm sorry."

"It's fine," she said, looking out again. Gold glanced behind him at Tails' house and could have sworn he saw something shine on the ground near his door.

"Did...did you just come from his house?"

"Yep."

Gold chuckled lightly. "By the amount of words you're saying, I'm assuming something happened."

Angel looked back down at her hands before answering. "He said that he still loves me."

Gold's eyes widened in shock. "You mean, you just waltzed in there and he spat it out?"

"No. We were arguing and it just...happened, I guess," she responded, still not knowing what really happened herself.

"What did you do after that?"

"I left."

"That's it?"

"Yep."

The conversation came to a standstill at that point. "I would ask you how you are feeling, but I know the answer is going to be that you really don't know," Gold said.

"You would be correct," she said, throwing a stone into the water below.

"Is there any way you can describe it? Anything?" he asked.

"Not...not really."

"Come on, there has to be something you can say. Talking about it can help. I'm all ears," he told her.

She sighed and tried to think of some way to put the things running amok in her mind into a coherent sentence. "It's like there's just...arrows in my head. Poisonous arrows that zoom around in my head and every time something new happens, another one is added to mix. And there's these little notes on each one and I can't read them. There's nothing I can do to stop them." Gold watched her talk as she stared at the sun and kept throwing rocks into the ocean. "But enough about me. What's wrong with you?"

Gold sighed and decided it was his turn to take a rock and throw it into the ocean. "It wasn't a date."

"Can you tell me what happened? If you don't want to, it's fine," she said.

"No, I'll tell you. I had planned on coming here to talk to Tails about it, but he's preoccupied as it would seems," Gold said, adding a sigh afterwards. "I went to Equestria to have lunch with Twilight, and when she showed up, we talked. She basically told me to stop going after her and being nice to her. That she likes Tails and has no interest in me at all. Being nice to her was pointless."

"It wasn't pointless. She probably still wants you to be nice to her as a friend," Angel pointed out.

"Yeah, I know. She said that to me. But, well...it's like this," he said, extending his open hand out toward the sun. "Imagine a knife just floating, right here in front of me. It's the most expensive and beautiful knife in the world, with amazing gems on it and golden designs laced all across it. And you try your very hardest to get it, you promise to it that you will take care of it, love it, care for it. And then the knife just," Gold gestured the knife stabbing him where his heart would be. "Stabs you in the heart and makes you instantly regret everything you have ever done to it. The knife is still in perfect condition, ready to stab you again if you try again, but you...you're dead."

"Wow," she whispered.

"And sometimes the knife isn't even in front of your eyes. It could be behind you or to the side of you, but you always know it is somewhere. And you don't know that it's going to stab you," he continued. "That's the feeling I have right now. I feel like I've been stabbed by my own love."

"Again, wow. I'm surprised you were able to think of that whole analogy right on the spot. As you can tell, I'm terrible at that."

"Yeah, well, it's not the greatest thing to come up with. Also, as an added bonus," he said sarcastically. "She basically called me a jerk."

"She just randomly called you a jerk?"

"When you boil it down, yeah."

"Did she literally straight up call you a jerk?"

"Well, no, but-"

"Then what did she actually say?" she asked.

He sighed, throwing another rock. "She said that I wasn't being genuinely nice to her. That I was just being nice because I wanted to date her."

"Well, do you think that you are nice? And I mean to everyone, not just to her," she asked him.

"I think I am. I mean, I know I mess with Glimpse a lot, but I don't mean to be a jerk about it. I'm sure you have experience doing that," he said, Angel adding a chuckle. "And I think I'm pretty good with everyone else."

"Then why do you care about what she thinks about you?"

"Because I liked her. It really breaks your spirit when you hear the one person who you are the nicest to to tell you that you aren't. It makes me feel like this whole time that being a nice person and making people happy has been a waste of time; that I'll gain nothing from it. Does it even matter?"

Angel just watched him as he spoke and pick up another rock. He examined it, looking over all of its cracks, crevices and features. He took his eyes off the rock and stared at the sun and started to motion to throw the rock. Before he could, she put a hand on his shoulder.

"Hey, listen," she said, Gold turning his head to face her. "It does matter. It matters a lot. Do you remember what you did four months ago?"

"You mean at the hospital when you were there?"

Flashback…

The scene was a simple hospital foyer. The room was almost completely white; the only things not white were the furniture that was scattered about for people to use and the front counter which was made of oak wood. No one was using them at the moment, but people waiting on their family members or friends in the hospital normally would. The various hospital sounds such as the muttering of doctors to each other and various electronic noises came out of the two hallways that were to the left and right of the counter. A light green hedgehog lady was sitting behind the counter, looking through various files of the hospital patients. An electronic bell sounded as someone walked through the spinning doors and approached the counter.

"Good morning Beth, how are you doing today?" the man asked.

"I'm doing good, thanks for asking, Gold. Although, I am craving a coffee right now," she responded with a giggle.

"I hear you," Gold agreed. "However, I have a job to do, as well as you do. Who do I got for this morning?"

The lady handed the fox a clipboard that had a bunch of names written down on them.

"That's all you have for right now," she said as Gold flipped to the second page. "The first one on the list is the first door on the left side in Hallway B.

Gold stopped looking through the pages and looked at the woman. "Sounds good, thanks. I'll see you later at lunch, Beth," he said as he headed toward the right hallway.

"Wait, Gold, you forgot your coat again!" She shouted before he could walk down the hallway.

He looked at the ceiling and groaned. "But I hate wearing that!"

"You know the rules," she said sternly, now looking back at her papers.

Gold trudged over to a closet that was right next to Hallway B and opened it. There were an assortment of white coats hanging, each one with different colored hangers. He grabbed the one that was on a blue hanger and put it on, cursing to himself as he did. He then walked into the hallway and the smell of the hospital met his nose. Going into the first door on the left, he walked into two cat Mobians. One of them was obviously the mother, wearing a green dress, and the other one was a small boy wearing a yellow shirt and overalls. "Oh my goodness, thank Chaos you are here!" the mother cried out, standing out of her seat.

"Good morning ma'am, what seems to be the trouble today?" Gold asked formally.

"Well, you see, my son is deathly sick! His temperature at home was close to one hundred and ten degrees, he was soaking wet from sweating, and he keeps having this tiny cough that makes no sense!" she explained desperately.

Gold looked at the boy who was supposedly sick with a deadpanned expression. The kid gave the fox a little, but obviously fake, cough and a smile afterwards. Gold quietly sighed to himself and looked at the mother. "Ma'am, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave the room for a minute. I have some serious questions to ask your son about this. If he answers in a certain way, it won't be good." The woman gave a quick nod of the head and swiftly made her way out of the room in a panic, closing the door upon leaving. Gold leaned against the wall and gave the kid a deadpanned expression. "Alright, what is it? Math test? English essay?"

"I forgot to do a government essay that was due today and I needed another day to finish it," the kid revealed.

Gold sighed. "And I'm guessing you did the thermometer in boiling water trick?"

"And dumped water all over me to make it look like I was sweating," the kid added.

"Look, kid, I get it. I used to procrastinate on papers all the time. But I just told my...well, I just told myself that I wasn't going into school instead of faking a deadly virus. Now you got your very protective mother here in a hospital, worrying about you. Could have been a lot easier if you just explained it to her," Gold explained.

"Yeah, I guess," the kid said defeated.

"But don't get down on yourself kid. I'm gonna tell your mother that you need one day of rest just so you can finish the paper. But you go right back to school tomorrow, you hear me?"

"Okay! Oh, also," the kid said excitedly, pulling a piece of paper out of his front pocket on his overalls. "Can I pleeeeeeease have your autograph?"

"You want me to sign this?" Gold asked, to which the boy nodded furiously. "You are like, the third person to ever ask me that. Alright then," he said, taking a pen from the desk next to him and signing it. "Alright, you can come back in."

The mother quickly came back in. "What is it? What's wrong with him? How long does he have to live?"

"Ma'am, it's alright. He just has a small bug in him. He'll need to rest today, which unfortunately, means he can't go to school today. He will be fine by tomorrow," Gold explained.

"Are you sure?" she asked.

"I'm as sure as my name is Gold. He'll be fine, he isn't going to die," he reassured her.

"Oh thank goodness!" she said, hugging her son. "Thank you so much, I was so worried about him. He's all I have."

"It's just what I do, ma'am. Now, when you leave here, you can ask the lady in the front for a lollipop," Gold told them, which the child was very excited about. The two left the room in a hurry, which made the fox chuckle. He walked out of the room while looking on his clipboard to see who was next. The patient was in room B20, which was at the end of the hall. He started to head down there, taking a look at all the doors in the hallway. The majority of them were locked or empty, but he walked past one room that had its door slightly ajar. He paid no attention to it until a female voice called out from it.

"Hey! Is someone out there?" she yelled. This caught his attention and he started to enter the room. Upon hearing him come in, she spoke. "Oh, good, someone does hear me. Could you get me a glass of water?"

Gold walked into the room to see a light blue female hedgehog lying on a hospital bed. She had multiple tubes attached to her arm and near her heart. The TV in front of her was turned on to a channel that showcased different Pokemon battles. The fox leaned against the wall upon seeing her.

"Oh, well, hello. You're um...um..." Gold stuttered, trying to think of her name while snapping his fingers.

"Angel."

"Yeah, that's what I was trying to think of. You're from that show and I couldn't remember your name and-"

"What, you want an autograph or something? I just asked for a glass of water, not some stuttering fanboy."

"No, no, no, I was just saying...yeah. I'll go get that water for you," Gold said, quickly walking toward the door. Hanging on the back of the door was a clipboard. The clipboards on the back of all the doors had information on the patient inside and what was wrong with them. Gold grabbed it and took a look at it. "With that rock in her heart, she was sixteen milliliters of blood away from death. Dear Eon," he whispered to himself. "And her arm...hey!" he yelled to her.

"What? Do you have my water or what?" she yelled back.

"Well...no, but, it says here that you are scheduled to have your arm amputated?" he asked.

"Yeah, I am. My nerves are all dead in my arm from freezing," she answered angrily.

"Well, are you having it replaced? I have a friend who-"

"No!" she yelled. "He isn't helping me. Never again."

"How did you know I was talking about Tails?" he asked curiously, walking back to look at her. She motioned her head toward him.

"You have multiple tails like that asshole. Figured you knew him. Guess I was right," she explained.

"Oh, right," he said, looking at his own tails. "That's besides the point. Do you have anyone donating an arm or making a prosthetic one for you?

"Nope. I don't need any help. Now can I have a water, please?" she asked.

"You know, for a girl who just went through hell, died, came back just a few milliliters away from actual death, and have a useless arm, you'd think you would finally want some form of help," Gold said.

"I don't need anyone! Last time someone tried to help me, it didn't end very well," Angel said with a growl.

Gold started to head toward the right side of her bed. "Look, I have nothing to do with that stupid show, I honestly hated what the hell they did to everyone, especially you and Tails."

"I said, I don't need your help! Get away! Get my water!" she exclaimed, trying to wiggle away to no avail.

"And I hate that Phineas kid. The idiot got what he deserved in the end. Who in the right mind just decided to summon that stupid doll," Gold ranted.

"Yeah, thanks for the reminder. Now can you leave? Please?" she asked. "I'm trying to ask you nicely this time."

"Okay, fine," Gold said, putting his hands up. "But...at least let me check your arm. I do work here, you know," he insisted, pointing to his coat.

"Fine. You can't do anything to it anyway," she agreed with a huff.

The fox went to her arm and just looked at it carefully. She was watching his every move in case he decided to do something stupid. Gold carefully grabbed her arm.

"And you don't feel anything right now?" he asked.

"Not a thing. My heart hurts though, but that has nothing to do with my arm," she answered, looking at where her own heart would be. Suddenly, Gold's hand started to emit a blue light. Energy swirled around his hand and around her arm. "Hey, what are you doing?" she asked frantically. She tried to hit him with her other arm, but it was no use. However, as the energy swirled, she began to feel something in her arm. She could feel Gold's hand grabbing her arm. Her arm felt good as new. Gold let go of her arm and stumbled backwards, breathing heavily. She looked at her arm as she moved it around and opened and closed her hand. "My arm...it's okay," she said.

"Yeah," Gold replied between breaths. "I healed it."

"How did you do that?" she asked excitedly. "Actually, I don't care, I don't need an amputation!"

"Yeah. I'm going to get that water for you now," Gold said, readjusting himself and walking towards the door.

"Hey!" she called out to him. The fox stopped and turned around to face her. "Thank you," she muttered.

Gold sighed and gave her a smile. "It's just what I do."

End flashback…

"Yeah, that hospital. You healed my arm even when I didn't want you to help me," she pointed out. "And a week later, what did I ask you?"

"You asked me why I did it," Gold replied.

"And what did you say?"

"I said...that with all the shit you went through, you of all people deserved the help. I said that even though Tails was my friend, what happened and what he ended up doing, or not doing, wasn't right. I said I was just being a good person."

"You see? If you weren't nice, I wouldn't be able to hit Glimpse with this arm," she said, which made Gold chuckle. "Being nice is worth it, even if someone doesn't appreciate it right away or not at all."

"Yeah. Yeah, you're right. I don't need Twilight to tell me that I'm not a good person. I got others who do think I am, so screw her!"

"That's the spirit!"

"Yeah. Now if only I could help you with your emotional problems," Gold said with a chuckle.

Angel looked at the ground beneath her. "I think you already have. Just being able to talk about it or at least have someone know what actually went down helps. I gotta do the rest myself."

Gold nodded to her. "I understand. But I'm here to talk."

"Good. Now, come on," she said, getting up. "I'm hungry and I'm betting that you didn't get to enjoy lunch with Twilight."

Just then, Gold's stomach growled and he chuckled. "You would guess correctly." The two chuckled to each other as he got up and they started to walk toward somewhere to eat.

---

There you have it folks. Yes, this is a very long chapter, almost 9000 words not including author's notes. As you can tell, a lot happened this chapter. A lot of very important and very emotional things. Very little of the "ch-ch-ch-chill".

Again, huge thanks to IcyAngels for beta-reading and helping out with the emotional section, especially with Angel. I love her character and how emotion filled she and her story is. If you would like to check out the original TDU that is going to be referenced A LOT in this, be sure to check out her story, Total Drama Universe.

Since I'm doing this weekly, I thought about adding a Question of the Week. Sorry Icy, kinda stealing your idea here lol.

QOTW: What do you think of the whole Angel and Tails fiasco?

Make sure you guys answer the question, both me and Icy would love to hear your responses.

Thank you for reading and reviewing, leave a review if you would like, and as always...

EOOOOOON OOUUUTT!
