EDIT: This is actually a story, but some viewers only see the picture.  If you want to read the story, come on over!

Oh look, a sequel!

So yeah, how 'bout that title?  Sorry, I really didn't want to think of a title for this story; the current one kinda sums up the whole thing and I couldn't think of any good parodies of the title of Cosmo's debut episode in Sonic X besides "A Foxy Fall."

Speaking of Sonic X, the entire basis of this story came to me when I daydreamed what it would be like if Cosmo's debut episode, where her escape pod crashed and Tails found her, had the positions switched.  One thing that I always loved about the TailsxCosmo relationship/friendship/whatever you wanna call it was how similar the characters were in temperament and and basic philosophies.  Both characters were pretty quiet, modest and friendly and kinda came off as the smart people in the room, or at least two people who understood each other and could hold a conversation on just about anything.  As I daydreamed, I figured that if the coin flipped differently, if Cosmo was the one who found Tails, the roles in their relationship could have easily changed (Cosmo becomes "the boy" and Tails "the girl") and yet, the relationship itself wouldn't have changed at all.  This story is that hypothetical coin toss...with a LOT of other details added in.

As most fans know and as I'm about to talk at you about , Sonic X introduced the species of Seedrians, but did little to flesh them out as characters and a civilization.  I wanted Cosmo to have her own friends and family to help her save Tails, so that mean her previously flat-character sisters would need some extra personality.  A lot of fanfics have done this before and I'm sure a lot of them used them for more than just extras like I did, but I also wanted to delve into what their civilization would have been like if they reached Sonic's planet in one piece, and a little bit of what they were like traveling the stars and even on their home planet.  Admittedly, I made up every last bit of this aside from "a war created the Metarex."  Hopefully this little view into the species-that-never-was proved fun for more than just me.

The world this story takes place in is an amalgamation of several Sonic continuities.  Some characters from Sonic X, the basic planet and some of the settings from the Archie Comics and Tails and his friends are currently running around in Sonic Boom.  I imagine Team Sonic is not as big of heroes and celebrities in this world and they are only on-again-off-again friends to the Acorn Kingdom and have only seen G.U.N. and the United Federation once or twice.  Anything beyond that is totally up to you.

Hurm...I wonder how I could convince Sega and/or Archie to change this from a fan fiction to a paid fiction...

PS- There exists in this story a joke that probably only I could ever understand; not because it's smart, but because it's so painfully obscure.  As some fans know, Metarex leader Dark Oak's real name is cited (at least in some dubs) as Lucas.  Considering the Metarex Saga was a space opera and that Sonic X enjoyed making references to movies and the like, it's possible he was named after George Lucas.  Fast forward to this story and we have the character Tarantino, named after film director Quentin Tarantino.  By this logic, all male Seedrians, by some cosmic coincidence, share a name with film directors.  I apologize for wasting your time with this.

PS2- Cosmo and Tails: Zoinks! is where I got the picture for the preview image.

I have read two fanfictions with that premise. Tails crashing/getting stranded on planet Greengate.
