The Truth Hurts Less in the Morning

Summary:

It doesn't take much to change a friendship forever. Sometimes, all it takes it one too many drinks and an unlocked phone.

Good morning

YOU forgot my coat at ur house

I try to be nice and this is what I get

No more buttcopter rides for you

i'll even bring the mint choc cupcakes u like

 

You can have all the buttcopter rides you want

Anything you have in mind?

 

movie-cover.png

 

No

 

aww cmon

this one is not even that bad

it's baby horror

 

Just because there's a doll on the cover doesn't mean it's baby horror

And wasn't it based on a real story?

 

every horror movie says that it's just marketing

ur such a baaaby

i don't get how u fight real monsters but ur scared of made up ones

like

you had an ACTUAL evil doll made of u before

 

That's different

And I'm not scared

I just don't see the point of watching a movie made to make you jump every 30 seconds

 

lil baby boy

i'll hold ur hand if the movie is too scawy

Amy?

Oh gosh my head is killing me

What happened

 

maybe too much fun lmao

u actually don't remember?

 

No?

I remember arriving at the party with you

Trying not to seem awkward as you chatted with people I didn't know

Oh no

I decided to get a drink to feel less anxious

And when it didn't work

I drank more…

 

lol

maybe this will refresh ur memory

video.mp4

 

That is NOT me

 

prob one of the other foxes with two tails at the party then

tho i wouldn't believe it either if i hadn't recorded

didn't know u had moves like that, prower

 

I DON'T

Oh man

Did I actually dance on top of someone's table

 

my friend honey who owns the house didn't seem to mind

 

Wait

There's someone here

Amy

Amy there's a stranger sleeping next to me on my bed

 

that would be my friend honey

 

WHAT

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN

 

well if i'm not mistaken

after u did a barrel roll on her living room there was a question of ''what else can those tails do''

and things escalated from there

 

This is a nightmare

I probably just ate too much mint candy before bed again

I'll wake up any moment now

 

yeah having a pretty girl sleeping on ur bed sounds like a nightmare alright

anything you wanna share w the class tails

 

THIS IS SERIOUS AMY

What do I do???

 

pancakes

 

What

 

she likes pancakes for breakfast

 

Are you making fun of me again

 

no tails

make breakfast for the two of you and then talk with her

i took u to that party to get you out of your comfort zone

why don't you try to get to know her sober? you two might hit it off

ur kinda her type

 

Wait

Really?

 

yea

cute and smart but a bit of a dork

 

Gee, thanks

 

i'm serious dummy

sit down and talk to her like an adult

if you two don't click, then that's it

you won't know if u don't try

 

Okay

I'll give it a try

Thanks, Amy

 

ur welcome

oh btw

I sent that video 2 everyone we know

my favorite response so far has been rouge calling you Tailoncé

 

On second thought

I could always change my name and start a new life in Little Planet

 

lmaooo

 


 

That match was so rigged

king dedede stays undefeated

 

Only because he keeps taunting instead of playing fair

Six missed calls

Please send me a message when you wake up

 

tails

oh gosh please no

 

Good morning

What do you remember from last night?

 

not much

tails…

why am i in your bed only in my underwear

please tell me we didn't do what i think we did

 

No

I couldn't hear my phone yesterday because I was flying with the Tornado, looking for you

After I checked it and saw your messages, I went back home and found my door broken in two

And you passed out in my living room

I took you to my bed and let you sleep

 

oh

and my clothes…?

 

Covered in vomit

They're in the washer

I thought it'd be better to cover you with a blanket than putting one of my clothes on you

There's an aspirin in the nightstand by the way

 

oh

i see

thank you for taking care of me

i'll leave now

 

Please wait for me to get home

We really need to talk

 

i'm so so sorry tails

i never meant to get between you and honey

i was just drunk and not thinking straight please ignore what i said

i'm so embarrassed

i understand if you two don't wanna talk to me anymore

 

Me and Honey aren't together anymore Amy

 

WHAT

BECAUSE OF ME?

oh gosh tails i'm so so so sorry

i will talk to her and explain everything

i promise this will never happen again

 

Amy, please calm down

It has nothing to do with what happened

We broke up before you disappeared

 

what

really?

 

Yes

Let me explain from the start

Honey got an opportunity to work with fashion in Tokyo-To

It's her dream job

I take it you heard about it?

 

yes…

when i found out i knew she'd take you to live there with her

and i kinda lost it

i spent the whole weekend drinking with my phone turned off

and made everyone worry…

 

I told them you were captured by a new type of badnik

You managed to free yourself but your phone was broken in the process

My house was closest to where you were and now you're resting from the fight

I was just at the Restoration explaining everything and filling out the paperwork

 

you didn't have to do that

i don't deserve it at all

 

I wanted to, Amy

You have to do with me and Honey breaking up, but not in the way you're thinking

Please stop typing, let me explain the whole thing

When Honey got the job offer, she sat me down to have a talk

She told me where it was, and the first thing on my mind was how far from you I'd be

And she knew it

It turns out I think about you way more often than I realized

In all my dates with her, I'd end up mentioning you

How you'd love the food in the restaurant or hate the movie we watched

I didn't even realize it until she pointed out

Or maybe I did, I'm not sure

I think that's why I was spending less time with you

Maybe I'd stop thinking of you so much if I spent more time with her

But it didn't work

She wasn't mad

It's not like I neglected her, but my heart wasn't there

It was fun while it lasted but it wouldn't be fair to either of us to keep going

Her moving away just anticipated the inevitable

I liked Honey a lot, but I didn't love her

I love spending time with you

I love waking up to your messages

I love spending hours just talking about whatever until I have to fly you home because it's too late

I love you, Amy

You don't have to answer right now

 

srry

i was just looking at my phone

waiting for it to disappear and for me to wake up in my bed

is this real

do you really mean it?

 

Every word

I love you

 

omg you said it again

this is happening

i love you too!

i love you so much tails!

so so so much! <3 <3 <3

i'm so happy

oh gosh i'm tearing up

 

I love you too!

I'm sorry it took me so long to realize it

 

it took me longer lol

and you didn't get wasted and make a scene when you found out like me

 

Aww I thought the drunk confession was cute

And I can fix the door in like 5 minutes

 

shut uuuuup

oh man ur not gonna let me live this down so soon r u

 

Not a chance

I didn't forget about the video

 

fineeee i guess i deserve it

 

Hehe

I'm almost home

Are you staying for breakfast?

 

i dunnooo

i heard the last girl who ate breakfast here got swept off her feet

might b too dangerous

 

Oh yeah

You're in risk of spending the whole day there

Cuddling and playing games together

 

sounds scaryy

i might even end up spending the night

but i think i'll take the risk <3
