[💎] Tails jumped at the sudden voice behind him. The little fox turned to see the echinda standing there looking quite surprised. “Oh! It’s okay!” he told her with a smile. “Who were you looking for?” 

Well, that was awkward.

“So~?” She asked, posing for the other. “How do I look, Sonic? I got this new conditioner and now my quills are so soft!” She did a small spin before posing once more.

“Sonic!...” Nothing.

“SOOONNIC!!” Tails shouted, cupping his hands around his mouth as he did so. His eyes scanned throughout the sandy fields that inhabited Seaside Hill.

“Where is he?...” He scratched his head. “He said he’d be here already.” He remarked with a groan. For a speedy hedgehog, he sure knew how to be late!

Tails relaxed and gave the blue hedgehog a small smile upon seeing the other’s guilty look. “Hey, it’s alright.” He assured the other with a familiar thumbs up he had long since picked up from the blue blur himself. “I’m just glad I found you.” Then his eyes widened and he grabbed the other’s arm, beginning to tug him away towards the direction of their home.

“Right! How could I forget?” He slapped his forehead in irritation, seeming slightly frantic. “The entire reason I came looking for you was because something happened.” He explained, leading the other down the familiar path through the woods.

This was Mobius. A planet that should’ve felt like home to him according to his code. Despite knowing that the schoolhouse wasn’t his true home, it was the only place that really felt like it after a while. He’d become accustomed to gray walls, numbers with eyes, and posters on the wall. He knew that Mobius was the home planet of every other Sonic, so it was only logical that it should’ve felt like home to him too. He wanted it to feel like home, but it didn’t. He knew nothing about Mobius. He had no real memories of this place.

It was a relief when he saw Tails for the first time. In the flesh, not in the form of a poster that you can click and make disappear. He was supposed to be Sonic’s best friend. If he needed to talk to anyone right now to feel “at home,” it would be him. He needed to know more about this place.
