Tails groaned as sunlight gleaned in from the window, he raised a hand to block the sun from getting into his eyes as he started to sit up. He felt the plush below him sink as he pushed up on it opening his mouth and bellowing a yawn that rang in his ears. He felt his arms contract as he stretched his body, the soft bed sinking considerately as he was completely sat up, his body slouched over as his eyes got adjusted to the warm glow of the room. The bed creaked as his weight shifted off of the bed, Tails smiled as his tails stretched out and twirled. He stretched his back cracking it before he left his room. Lumbering down the hallway that was bathed in a gold light illuminating from outside he passed by pictures. Most of them were of him and Sonic, some of him Sonic and Knuckles and even one of Rogue one was just the tornado, his biplane inherited from Sonic.

Tailses feet shuffled along his hardwood floor until he got to the kitchen just at the end of the hallway. He shuffled to the coffee maker that happily awaited his arrival with nice hot coffee. Tails grabbed a mug from the cabinet above the coffee maker that was dedicated to mugs. The deep blue mug didn't have a whole lot to it besides it was able to hold coffee really well, but it was simple and Tails loved it. "Mmmmh modern luxury's." He sighed leaning against the kitchen counter right next to the beloved coffee maker happily sipping away at his coffee.

The door swung open to reveal his blue friend Sonic the hedgehog. "Hey Tails!" Sonic greated briskly walking into the cozy home and shutting the door behind him. In response, tails just grumbled, making sonic look at him quizzically. "Did you. Just wake up?" Sonic asked grinning, once again the only answer he reserved was a grumble as tails lowered his head to sip more coffee. "Buddy it 2 in the afternoon!" Sonic smiled knowingly, tails got done sipping his coffee before responding. "It was a late night okay?" Sonic looked at him knowingly and asked . "Couldn't sleep?" Tails nodded his head. "Yeah, I can't seem to think of anything to build!" Tails reply exasperatedly. "I'm stuck in a creative rut." Tails sighed Sonic nodded. "Yeah thankfully running doesn't take that much I never really had to worry about That but I get you." Sonic remarked, Tails remained silent as he stared into his coffee seeing only his reflection.

"Well Vanilla asked me to go and keep her family reunion safe from. You know... ." Sonic tells a still silent Tails. "And I just figured that I'd stop by and see if you were doing anything." Sonic says awkwardly to the yet still quiet Tails who finally looks up and grins groggily. "Sorry I'm just really tired, I seriously just got up." Tails says yawning. Sonic smiles lightheartedly. "Naw man I get it. Here let me get your shoes." Sonic says walking into Tailses room down at the end of the hall where Tails can hear Sonic's slightly muffled voice. "Man your room is clean!" Tails finishing off the last drops of coffee remarks. "Yeah because I'm never in there!''Just loud enough so that sonic can hear him as he puts away his mug. Sonic comes back with a pair of bright red and white shoes and some nice clean white gloves and hands them to tails. "Hey why do you have that picture of Rouge hanging up?" Sonic asks pointing to the picture of Rouge. "Oh that?" Tails says as he puts on his gloves. "She gave that to me as my Christmas gift two christmases ago." Tails says as he starts putting on one shoe. "I put it up because I was scared that she would show up to my house and not see it up and get mad." Tails says as he struggles to fit his foot in the other shoe then stomped down getting his foot in his shoe. "Kinda silly now that I think about it." He adds, to which Sonic shrugs. "Hey you never know with rouge." Tails nodds and opens the door for Sonic. "A real wild card." He yawns as he gestures for Sonic to go first. As Sonic walks through the door he winks giving a thumbs up. "Agreed."

Tails feet shuffle through the dewy grass as he yawns and looks around. The sun brightly shines down on the grassy prairie with few trees to give shade but a gentle breeze to cool everyone off. The air mixed with the sweet smell of pastries and the sweet aroma of grass. Tails sighs and leans against one of the few trees in the area and lets the cool soft grass cushion him as he leaned against the tree getting ready to drift off. He Yawned and stretched, curling his tails over his body like a blanket. As he tries to go to sleep, people talk and the cool breeze keeps him awake. Tails finally opened his eyes and had a dead stare forward wrestling with the idea to move and go back to sleep or actually get up and interact with all the people here.

Making the ultimate choice to go out and interact with people Tails gets up his body groaning not completely awake. He walked over to a table that seemed to have the most people he knew at it, Vanilla , because Cream was not in eyesight and he didn't care enough to look. Approaching Vanilla Creams mom who was talking to another rabbit that was wearing some light blue jeans a red plaid button up and a hat made out of straw with a bit of straw in her mouth. "Hey vanilla." Tails smiled, waving Vanilla, looking up and smiling sweetly. "Oh Rosey this is that boy Sonics little friend Tails!" Vanilla smiled enthusiastically to the Rabbit next to her. The Rabbit looked at Tails and swinted looking him up and down before sneering. "He's a Fox." She practically spat. Vanilla looking confused at her. "Yees and a very nice boy that has helped save the planet by helping Sonic many times." Vanilla nervously clearly took off guard. "Without him the world would most likely be taken over by !" Vanilla said more clearly like her normal self. Rosey just glared at her then back to Tails. "But… He's a fox." She said the word fox cynically. Tails just looked at her quizzically , he had never gotten made fun of for being a fox. Sure he used to frequently get made fun of for his multiple tails but for him being a fox? This was new. "Vanilla they are lying cheating masterminds that want to do nothing but watch the world burn! Now I would expect you to know better!" Rosey spat getting up and stomping away. Making Tails and Vanilla look at each other confused. "Im sorry Tails I have never seen her like that. She normally is very sweet and a kind lady. I have no idea what could make her say such a thing." Vanilla huffed getting up herself. "I will go and talk with her. Why don't you go and say hi to Cream? She is playing with the little ones over there." Vanilla smiled pointing to the center of the field with children Cream being one of the taler ones so he could see her. Tails shrugged and yawned, he was too tired to care about the strange acting lady. He walked over to the opening Cream not noticing him do to all of the kids playing with her.

Eventually though Cream noticed Tails and her face lit up. " !" She exclaimed, putting down the child that she was playing with. "You came to the reunion!" She smiled excitedly to see her long time acquaintance. "I knew that was coming to protect us. But I didn't know that you were coming as well!" Cream smiled. "Are there knuckles here?" She asked excitedly, looking around for the red echidna. "Naw Knuckles isn't here just me and Sonic. Well at least that's all that I know." Tails yawns. "Late night? I saw you trying to sleep over there." Cream smiled. "Working on some great new project that will help save the world?" Cream asked excitement radiating from her voice mixed with a touch of curiosity. "Yeah, You could say that." Tails nervously chuckled looking down. "Mind telling what it is?" Undeniable curiosity radiating from her voice. "Naw its top secret." Tails chuckled, Cream looked down disappointingly. "Aw okay." She mumbled looking down disappointed, Tails looked down feeling kind of bad.

"Well here everyone meet !" Cream said turning around to see all of the Children scooting away from them. "Are you all okay?" Cream asked, walking towards them. A young girl walking forward coyly. " ." The girl squeaks and tugs on her dress, Cream lowered herself to the girls level. The little whispers to Cream. "He's a Fox." Cream looked at her quizzically. "So?" The little girl looks desperately at Cream. " Mommy told me that Foxes are bad. That they eat children and take away daddy's and Mommy's." The little girl said in much less of a whisper and more of a plea. Cream stood up. "Well I don't know what kind of foxes you're talking about because is a Grade A hero!"Cream smiled at Tails who kindly smiled back, the children however were very confused. "How can a fox be a hero?" One child asked. "Yeah I didn't know that monsters can be heroes!"Another child chimed in. "You all are probably talking about another type of fox after all not all foxes are the same!" Tails smiled walking forward some of the children just ran off to find their parents horrified at the fox that was presumably going to eat them. Most of the child rabbit's however stayed albeit hesitantly. The little girl that approached Cream then approached Tailsand asked. "Then what kind of Fox are you?" Tails smiled warmly at the little girl. "I am actually a… You see I'm… The kind of Fox I am is…" Tails struggled for an answer. "I… I don't know!" Tails said exasperated suddenly getting dizzy and his legs collapsing making him collapse on the matted grass sending a sharp pain through his rear. "I guess I never really thought about it." Tails said his head spinning Cream was trying to get his attention waving her hands in his face and calling out his name. Suddenly he felt hands shaking him rabidly. "Tails! Buddy! You Okay!?" Sonic was shouting at him. Tails suddenly grabbed Sonic's arms startling sonic before he looked him dead in the eyes. "Sonic where am I from?" Tails asked a quiver to his voice, Sonic froze before sinking into himself. "I knew this day would come." Sonic sighed looking away. "Sonic where do I come from? What species am I?" Tails asked the words spilling out of his mouth. "I'll tell you. But not here." Sonic sighed getting up and looking at the concerned Vanilla. "We'll be back, do you think you can manage for a couple minutes?" Sonic asked. "Don't worry about us we'll be fine."Sonic sighed and walked up to Tails and nodded. "Alright here we go."
