It was a calm, cool morning on South Island, and all was perfectly quiet and peaceful, just as it should be. Only the flickies' chirping and the waves' washing of the shore could be heard. From its green hills to its ancient ruins it was a beautiful island paradise.

Above the stream that flows through the Island's center was the beloved Bridge Zone, and on the outskirts of Bridge Zone is where Tails had decided to build his house years back. He built the shelter nearby a large, lively oak tree that he had fond memories of from his childhood.

In the house, the two-tailed fox was now lightly snoring in his soft bed, not intending to put an end to his nap anytime soon. Once it had reached 7 o' clock, however, his alarm clock soon rang its loud tune. (It was so that he would wake up in time for his favorite TV show aired every Saturday morning). The sudden noise startled him, and caused him to scream as he fell out of his bed with a painful thud. He had landed face-down.

The fox opened his eyes, before pushing himself to an awkward, sleepy stand. "Ow, I should really get a new alarm clock." The fox felt his assaulted forehead before reaching for the clock. "I'm sick of fixing the faulty audio on this damned thing. I was having a good dream too..."

He then set it back down onto his rectangular night-stand, and proceeded to put on his fluffy, pink slippers as he stretched his arms above his head. He continued downstairs into his clean and well organized 80's style kitchen. The fox yawned and turned on the coffee maker on his way to the living room. As he reached for the TV remote he noticed that there was snoring coming from the couch. He turned his head to see someone covered with his hand made blankets.

He blinked twice thinking that he may be imagining things, before slowly backing away to grab his baseball bat, which he always kept by the front door, as well as his smart phone. He began to dial to South Island Police Office's phone number. "Help, there's an intruder in my house!" he whispered urgently into his phone before it replied by saying, please hold in an automated voice. The fox waited for about a minute before noticing that they were not going to reach him. "Stupid technology,"he mumbled as he set his phone down. "I guess I'll have to deal with this myself." He firmly grasped the bat with both hands as he snuck back to the couch, and raised it above the intruder. He thrust it down with all his strength and continued to whack the criminal. "Get out of my house!"

The intruder yelped, his snoring beaten to a stop. The blankets flew off of the criminal and onto the carpeted floor as the culprit leapt up, revealing himself to be the legendary icon, Tails' best friend, Sonic The Hedgehog. "Stop it, Tails! Why the hell are you hitting me!?"

Tails dropped the bat and glared at his blue friend. "Sonic, why the hell are you in my house?!"

"Well Tails, you see my house burnt down and I," Sonic spoke before being cut off by Tails' gasp.

"Your house burnt down?!"

Out of embarrassment, the hedgehog blushed faintly. "Well… yeah."

Tails felt empathy for his friend. "Oh my God, are you okay? What happened?"

He glanced away from his friend before continuing. "I'm not sure. Maybe I forgot to turn the stove off when, I was cooking chili dogs for..."

"You forgot!"

Sonic glanced down at the carpet and rubbed the back of his head. "Uh, yeah. I... it's not such a big deal though."

"You broke into my house! It is a big deal!" The fox yelled, one hand in the air.

"But Tails, you said that if I ever needed help that I could come to you," He said hesitantly.

"You could have at least called first!"

"But it was too late and I didn't want to wake you up."

"Yet you're completely fine with breaking into my house?!"

This made the hedgehog feel a bit guilty, but he didn't want to let it show. "Relax buddy, I'll only stay here until I can get back up on my feet."

Tails sighed deeply. "Fine, just… tell me next time something like this happens okay?"

"Yeah, no prob." Sonic smelled the coffee that Tails had made. "Hey is that coffee I smell? Did you make me some?"

Tails sighed again and thought, why me?

Not very long after their argument, Tails decided to go and get a new clock. He opened the front door, about to step out, but stopped and remembered that Sonic was still there. 'I'm sure that Sonic would gladly go to the clock shop and buy a new alarm clock for me.' He thought.

Sonic was in the upstairs living room, lying comfortably on Tails' love-seat, eating Tails' last carton of strawberry ice-cream, and watching "The Super Mario Brothers Super Show!" simply to judge it. "I honestly can't believe that Nintendo would release such garbage. I mean, even 06 was better than this!" He scooped ice-cream into his mouth. "Actually no, 06 was WAY worse, but my point still stands!" He shoveled another large scoop of ice-cream into his mouth.

Tails walked over to the base of the staircase and looked up. "Hey, Sonic!"

Sonic dashed down to his friend, almost falling onto his face. "Yes, Tails."

The fox noticed that Sonic was holding the last carton of his ice-cream and tried to ignore it, though it really did bother him. "Could you please run on over to Gimmick Zone and buy me a new alarm clock? I have one in my room, but it's pretty much broken."

The hedgehog nodded. "Okay then. I'll gladly go grab one for you!"

"Thanks Sonic, I really appreciate it."

"No problem. I'll be back in a flash!" He dashed straight past his friend and towards the front door, leaving it wide open, and causing any loose papers to float away from their proper places. the now empty ice-cream carton was left to fall to ground.

The fox sighed as he walked over to close the door and picked up the empty carton, returning to the living room after tossing it into the trash. He fell onto the couch and moaned. "I can't believe this. He just barges into my home, drinks all of my coffee, eats all of my ice cream, and freeloads in everyway possible." He sat in silence for a moment. "I guess I should go do something with myself so I can calm down." He glanced around the immediate area and saw the garage door. "I guess I could go fly my Tornado around the island. That could be fun." He got up and walked over to the garage.
