Taiream is the het ship between Tails and Cream from the Sonic the Hedgehog fandom.
Canon[]
Cream and Tails are friends with each other. Throughout the games, there is not much contact between the two, but it is understood that they get along when they are shown throughout some story cutscenes.
Games[]
Cream and Tails had their first known meeting in Sonic Advance 2, the game in which Cream made her first appearance. Cream and Tails, along with Sonic and Knuckles, teamed up to save Cream’s mother, Vanilla, from Dr. Eggman. The four seemingly defeated him and saved Vanilla, only for Eggman to kidnap her again. In Sonic Advance 3, Tails and Cream teamed up with Sonic, Knuckles and Amy to stop G-merl. In Sonic Heroes, Tails and Cream had a less pleasant meeting. Cream, along with Amy and Big, challenged Sonic, Tails and Knuckles in a fight, hoping they would reveal the whereabouts of Chocola and Froggy. Later, the two teams, along with Team Dark and Team Chaotix, joined forces to defeat Neo Metal Sonic. Though it has not been confirmed, rumour has it that an early version of the game’s script had a scrapped segment where Tails and Cream confront each other after the teams split, and Cream gives Tails a kiss on the cheek.
In Sonic Advance 3, During the Gemerl incident they were known as just "OK", they work together, alongside Amy, Knuckles and Sonic, to evade Eggman from creating Eggmanland, the player can choose to play them if Cream is unlocked in Cyber Track act 3. After Gemerl was finally defeated, Cream found his broken body on a beach. Deciding to have him brought to Tails to repair and reprogramming him,
In Sonic Rush during the Sol Emeralds incident, Tails told Cream to escape from Blaze as she was a suspect. When describing Tails to Blaze, all Cream has to say of him is that he is "neat" and that he "also likes to hang around with Sonic" just like all their other friends.
They also interacted during the second World Grand Prix in which Tails says that Cream's Extreme Gear was really good in the race to which Cream replied, "Well, sure! That means a lot coming from you, Mr. Tails!". and the Nintendo DS version of Sonic Colors. In Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, Cream could become a party member, while Tails was already a party member by the time the party found Cream, and as such, they could appear together. Tails and Cream were also among the guests in Sonic’s birthday party in Sonic Generations.
In Sonic Dream Team, at the start of the game, Dr. Eggman traps Cream the Rabbit and Cheese in an experimentation tube and dons a unique headpiece, believing his plan to control a mysterious artifact called the Reverie is complete.
Tails, Sonic, Knuckles, Amy, and Rouge, following Rouge's intel, arrive to stop Eggman. Tails explains Eggman's intention to use Cream and Cheese as conduits to interact with the artifact, which controls dreams. Knuckles, who asks what the entire thing was supposed to do. Continuing his research, Tails' finds out via operational files that the artifact can control dreams. Soon thereafter the artifact starts reacting. The five are then sent into a slumber by the strange artifact. At that moment, Shadow the Hedgehog teleports in using Chaos Control. He surveys the scene before noticing a glowing particle emanating from the artifact. Shadow grabs it, only to be sent into a slumber as well.
Mario & Sonic Series[]
In the Mario & Sonic series handheld versions, they seem to be friendly as well. In the London version, after the Phantasmal Fog clones try to attack Cream, Tails assures her she'll be safe while Mario, Sonic, and Luigi hold them back. He then lashes out at the clones for trying to attack her. In the Rio version, they are partners for Beach Volleyball on day 2 of Mario's Story. Cream states that they have "the bestest teamwork."
In another game, Tails protected Cream from evil doppelgangers, then comfort her for a bit.
Sonic X[]
Tails and Cream were good friends, and among the inhabitants of Sonic’s world to get teleported to Earth. Some fans have speculated that Tails already knew that Cream was captured and taken to Area 99 in the episode “Sonic to the Rescue”, and took it upon himself to try and rescue her alone until he realized that Sonic had already done so, to which he rescues both of them. Cream and Tails both lived in the Thorndyke Mansion until they found a way to return to their world. They have some moments including building a sand castle on the beach together, or the most notable being the iconic flashback Tails has of him finding Cream picking flowers for her Mother in the episode “Party Hardly”. Later, they were among the ones to travel to space to help Cosmo defeat the Metarex. Both Tails and Cream had a close relationship with Cosmo, as Tails was her love interest and Cream was her best friend.
In issue 4 of the comics, when Eggman is attacking Tails, Sonic, and Rouge at the science museum in Station Square, Cream is riding in the X-Tornado being flown by Chuck. She then greatly insists to him that Tails be saved from the Robot restraining him, even though Chuck was pushing the X-Tornado to its limits, but does not say it about Sonic or Rouge. Cheese even directly attacks the robot that only Tails is being restrained by, freeing him, much to the delight of Cream. This could suggest that Cream cares for Tails in a special way. A similar example happens in the episode "Chaos Emerald Chaos" where Tails and Amy are preparing to take the Tornado to the construction site to retrieve the emerald, Cream specifically tells Tails not to get hurt with no mention of Amy whatsoever.
Comics[]

An image of Tails with Cream and Cheese can be seen in episode 1. It was made by Yui Karasuno, a Sonic IDW artist.
Fanon[]
Taiream is a popular ship in the fandom, and among the most popular ships for both characters. It is also known to be the earliest known ship for both characters in general. Origins of the ship date back all the way to 2003, when Sonic Advance 2 was released, though a few sources depict the two being shipped in 2002, before Cream was even introduced in North America. It was not until Sonic X aired however that the ship started gaining more attention and popularity. It has also gained popularity due to both characters being young, and because they are both of the flying type. It rivals are Chaream (one of the most popular ships for Cream) and Tailsmo (one of the most popular ships for Tails), Chaream is not that popular as the other mentioned ships, Tailsmo and Taiream shippers have had ship wars, especially during the airing of Sonic X. The ship war most likely started when Cosmo became Tails’ Sonic X love interest, because the Taiream shippers were hoping that Tails and Cream would eventually get together canonically, and were upset that Cosmo had been put with Tails instead. Taiream is often shipped alongside Sonamy, as Tails and Cream are the best friends and sidekicks of Sonic and Amy, respectively, and Sonamy has mainstream popularity and canon implications.
Since Cream and Tails are a rabbit and a fox like Judy and Nick from Disney’s Zootopia are, the Disney film has inspired Taiream fans to portray them as the laters for fun.
