My name is Miles "Tails" Prower, and I have a big problem that's been happening every day for almost a whole year now. Every morning when I wake up, I'm a different animal than before, and it's been a long time since I was just normal old Tails, who was only a fox. A fox with two tails, anyways. I suppose it all started when Sonic and I discovered we were shapeshifters. While Sonic could only turn into a dragon sort of thing, I could transform into anything I wanted. It was fun at first, but one morning, that changed...
I yawned as I woke up. My ears twitched a little, they felt smaller. My fur also seemed less fluffy and more prickly. As I walked into the bathroom to brush my teeth, I saw my reflection in the mirror and knew something was wrong. My eyes had joined into a uni-eye like Sonic's, and my muzzle wasn't as fluffy as it once was, and also a peach color, and a similar thing had happened to my stomach. The short hairs at the back of my head had grown into spiky quills. I felt for my tails, but there was only a short, pointed tail. I almost screamed. "W-What's happened to me?" I exclaimed, but it was clear that I had turned into a hedgehog. I ran back to my room and found a large coat with a hood that was much bigger than my head, even with my new quills. I put on the oversized coat and carefully snuck out of my own home, knowing that not even Sonic would believe me if I told him I was Tails, his best friend who was a fox, not a hedgehog. I sighed and began walking to somewhere where I could just start over, as a hedgehog.
I came to a small town that had friendly people in it, and somehow they knew I wasn't normally a hedgehog. A little tenrec girl explained that in this town, everybody was a shapeshifter that turned into something new everyday. "What are you normally?" She asked me, curious.
"A two-tailed fox." I explained.
"I guess you're not going to be a fox ever again. When I became a shapeshifter, I was a piglet. It's been two whole years and I've never changed back." She then introduced herself as Kalla, explaining that people in this town identified each other using dogtags on necklaces, and showed me her silver tag, which said 'Kalla' in capital letters. Kalla led me to a shop, and they made me a tag saying 'Tails'. I put it on a metal chain and slid it on to my neck. Kalla smiled at me, and tried guessing what she would be tommorow. "Maybe I'll be a fox like you were!" She said cheerfully, but that upset me. Knowing I would never truly be Tails again was never going to be okay, ever.
