It was now 8 in the morning. Tails woke up next to a female lifeguard. "Are you OK?" she asked. "Ugh," Tails moaned, "I'm covered in sand." "It's okay. You'll get used to sand like me." she lifted Tails up to the ground. "What happened?" she asked. "Well," Tails replied, "I passed out due to lack of sleep." "Wow," she said, "That's never happened before in SimValley." "Who are you?" Tails asked. "You might laugh at my name. My name is Misty Waters. I'm SimValley's lifeguard. And what's your name, little fox?" "My name is Tails. I'm the fox with two tails." "Okay," Misty said, "That's cool." "Have you seen Sonic? He's a blue hedgehog. He's my best friend." "Wait," Misty said, "You mean a blue hedgehog? I was on Paradise Island a week ago, and I saw a blue thing in the distance." "Oh really?" Tails said. "Yeah, it wasn't clear enough to see but it was blue." Tails had some thoughts: Was that blue thing Sonic? I hope so.
Tails told Misty that he should go. So, Tails went away from the beach. The next place he saw was a small store called "Bric-a-Brac." he went inside and it was a Nick-Nack store owned by someone called Nicki-Nack. Tails just walked out because he didn't care for Nick-Nacks.
Then, Tails reached the docks. He saw a white bearded guy that looked like he was a pirate. "Yar!" he said, "Hello, fox. My name is Olde Salty. Would you like to try Olde Salty's Salty Special? It's all salty." "No thanks." Tails said. "I was wondering if you know how to get to Paradise Island." "Yar!" Olde Salty said, "It's a very dangerous trip. Like when my brother Pepper Pete tried going there, he was swallowed by a whale. Who knows if Pete is alive or not." "Really?" Tails said, "Then how did Misty get there?" "Yar!" Salty said, "She took the plane. It costs a lot of money to use that plane. But using the boat is free." "Tell you what," Tails said, "If I can go to Paradise Island using the boat, then I will prove that it's not dangerous." "Yar!" Salty said, "If you go out to sea, then can you see if my brother Pepper Pete is alive or not? If he's alive then I'll give you every Simoleon I have." "You don't have to, Olde Salty. I won't have any use for them once I go back to Mobius." "Yar!" Olde Salty said, "Then you go ahead, little fox. Why are you wanting to go to Paradise Island anyway?" "I'm looking for my best friend, Sonic. Apparently, Misty saw a blue figure on a distant island when she was there."
So, Tails went out to sea to find Sonic and find Olde Salty's brother.
