Author's note: Eeee, I hope this story is okay! I did my best on it, feel free to review, critique is appreciated! Also so there's no creepy undertones, Tails is 18, Sonic is 25, Amy is 19, Rouge is 27, and Knuckles is 30.
Light shown through the window as the chirping of birds was heard outside; Tails opened his eyes and yawned, stretching as he sat up and got out of bed. The young kit walked into the bathroom where he brushed his teeth and turned on the shower. After a few moments he stepped in, enjoying the feeling of the luke-warm water cascading down his body and the smell of soap. Today was going to be a good day, he could just feel it. Tails and Sonic had made plans to spend the evening together; first they'ed go to the park for a picnic, then they'ed go swimming and finally they'd end the night off with a movie marathon and Sonic would sleep over. The fox and hedgehog had been dating for two weeks but didn't get to spend much time together due to their busy scheduled, so tonight would be their chance to relax and have fun like couples should.
Tails stepped out of the shower and hurried to dry off and find a fresh pair of gloves and socks. He brushed his fur as best as he could and fluffed up his tails so they looked extra soft; then putting on a bit of eye-liner to show off his eyes and finishing with pulling on his newly scrubbed and polished shoes. Tails looked beautiful, silky fury and sparkling eyes matched well with a fresh smell and polished behavior. Yup, the kit was a site to behold; obviously he'd be damned if he wasn't perfect for his Sonic. Everyone in their friend group didn't have to worry much about not looking their best, even though they all had jobs they didn't have to worry about saving the world 24/7 since it seemed Eggman had given up on fighting them about two years back. There was still the occasional scuffle with criminals and lesser known villains the like, but for the most part; Tails ran a mechanic shop, Knuckles taught boxing + watched the ME, Amy owned a beauty salon, rouge was a fashion designer and had a bar and Sonic was a professional athlete.
After a quick breakfast and some coffee Tails went out to the mail box; inside was but one lonely envelope that didn't seem to have a return address paper attached. Assuming it'd just fallen off while being delivered Tails opened up and peeked inside.
"Dear Miles 'Tails' Prower; you have been invited to a private competition currently being hosted on the far right side of the great Emerald Forest. Inside this envelope is a document for you to sign if you wish to enter the competition, you must provide it to the front desk signed with the necessary information filled out if you want to be accepted. The competition will test your durability, intelligence, speed, detective work, and sense; the winner will be granted permission to a special stone that will a heed to whatever ability you succeed best in. The contest will begin at 5:00 PM and end at 7:00PM Today; attempting to enter anywhere passed that time will not bare any fruits. Truly yours, host John Provocii."
"Hmm... Sonic and I's date starts at 8:30PM, I bed I can enter and win this contest before then!" Tails walked back inside excitedly, before he could do anything he still had work to do; but after that he was definitely looking forward to the rest of his afternoon...
