WELCOME ONE WELCOME ALL TO THE VERY FIRST (and hopefully not last) EPISODE OF THE FOUND AU SERIES, THE SERIES WHERE WE SEE WHAT TAILS' LIFE WOULD BE LIKE IF SOMEONE ELSE FOUND HIM INSTEAD OF SONIC.
We'll be doing this for lots of characters but for our very first guest, we haaaaave.....
DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!
CREAM!!
Lets take a look:
Tails is a VERY interesting character. To me, he is the deepest character in the entire franchise, a goldmine of potential, an iceburg of gratitude and resentmant, idolization and self seeking curiosity, someone who without the circumstances he finds himself in could be someone completely different entirely. With Sonic, he idolizes him and whether he knows it or not, takes after him a LOT. While he's softer and more polite than his blue blur brother, he is a sassy little furball. I mean, this is the same kid who said and I quote: "WHOSE YOUR DADDY SHADOW" to the ultimate fricking life form. I feel like without that influence, Tails would be a lot less likely to present himself in such an expressive way. Especially since he was bullied and now lives in a very humble and polite household, I doubt that he would have any influence to bring that side of him out. He'd probably be more reserved and VERY polite. Most liekely would lose his canon counterpart's taste for adventure since he at this point would never have had any experience with it. I imagine that Cream would be the one to drag him out of the house since he'd prefer to sit inside and upgrade the appliances.
The way they meet is that they'd meet on a rainy day. With his stuff all broken as usual from the bullies, and soaking wet in the rain since he was at the time canonically homeless (I got that from the twitter takeover which it was very VERY implied), Cream finds him while picking flowers as she's about to head home, since it started raining. Seeing the poor boy soaked and sad, hungry and alone, she took him home to ask Vanilla to give their new guest some food and shelter for the time being.
Of course, seeing a dirtied ADORABLE little baby fox on her doorstep, looking at her like a wet sopping kitten in the rain, Vanilla took him inside. He took a bubble bath, brushed his fur, wrapped him in clothes to warm him up, got him clean shoes and fed him lots of warm food. After that they asked him to stay the night, and so while politely accepting, he slept the night. And then they had him spend the next. And the next. And then he was practically Vanilla's adopted son. He does still call her Ms. Vanilla though. Like I said, his timid and polite attitude is present even in their home.
He acts as Cream's older brother even though technically she acts more or less like his older sister. She's the kind of sister who will very politely but boldly tell the waiter that Tails asked for no pickles. She often drags him outside when she thinks he needs less "Tails time" and more outside time. He's still a tech genius but now he is being schooled like Cream. He's pretty good at it and tutors Cream and in return Cream teaches Tails how to have a proper childhood. They'll play and cook and mess around like kids should.
Yes, he does indeed fix their appliances as well as give them the most random upgrades possible. Oh, you had a regular microwave? Now it can speak German!! Nice toaster. Ever thought of giving it legs? I figure he'd still know Sonic and gang but after growing up in the environment that he did, he'd be less inclined to follow him around all the time. He does look up to Sonic as an icon and adult figure but since they didn't have that bonding time like in the og, it's simply a celebrity crush kind of thing. Or like a friend crush, those things you feel when you see someone you don't really know but just REALLY want to be friends with sooo bad. Like, that NEEDS to be my bestie type feeling. But ya, if there are any questions, feel free to ask! I'll try and answer.
OK CYA GUYS!! HAVE A GOD BLESSED DAY
