Chapter Zero: New beginnings

Tails's POV

It came at last, the day that we graduated from High School and were to move on to bigger and better things. I didn't want to move on from some things, though. Neither did Sonic, so we moved into a house together. Don't get me wrong, we're weren't together or anything, but we had shared an apartment on the school campus.

We both had worked out routines so that we didn't really bother each other and he could go out hunting for jobs, while I worked on inventions to help pay the rent. Since it had worked so well then, we moved into my old house near the Mystic Ruins and kept up the same routine. That's where our story begins.

Sonic's POV

Yeah, we did move into Tails's workshop, but it was smaller than either of us remembered. I started looking for a steady job instead of one of the many odd jobs that I had been doing. As luck would have it, a pizzeria was looking for a delivery boy. They didn't want to hire me at first, but I convinced them to let me deliver one pizza.

If it was cold when I got it where it was supposed to go, I would pay for it. They agreed that since even their best delivery boy couldn't make it to a particular customer's house on time, that if I managed to get it there in less than thirty minutes, I would receive the same wage as the store's GM.

Well, long story short, I had it to the address in about ten minutes. Thirty-five minutes quicker than the fastest delivery boy. I now make enough to cover any bills that might come up, and I get to do my favorite thing to do when I'm by myself, run. Anyway, I think that we've bored you enough, let's get on with the story.
