A NEW FAMILY, SCHOOL, AND A NEW BODY?:

We walked into the house and I immediately started to remember all of the good memories I had when I was here last. I started to tear up, at to which Chris noticed.

"Hey, is something wrong buddy?"

"No, I am just remembering all the fun times we had here".

"Yeah, those were some good times alright. Why don't we go to my office to have a chat on what's been going on?"

"That sounds like a good idea".

We walked upstairs and into an office the size of my bedroom back home. I looked with awe as I saw some pictures of Chris, our friends, and myself. We sat down at his lounge area and started to chat.

"So, why and how are you back on Earth?"

"To be honest, I don't know how. Ever since a few hours ago, everything has been completely different for me and to be honest it kind of scares me".

"Well, why don't you explain the events that led up to this point and maybe we can pinpoint a probable theory?"

I explained to him what happened from the moment I went to Angel Island to now.

"And now I am here. What do you think may be the cause as to why I am here?"

He thought for a few seconds and then jumped as it seemed like he had an idea.

"It could have been the Master Emerald. You said that you made a wish to see me and someone else again and now you are here. That would be my only theory as to why you somehow managed to get yourself here".

"But what about the fact that I am now taller, and have a lover voice?"

"Well, when you were on Earth the first time, you were 10. Your body was developed far enough for no change then, but since 6 years has passed on Earth, and you are now 16 in Earth time, your body had to develop to represent your age".

"Wow, that explains a lot. Well, now I have another question. What do I do now? I can't just find a way home as that may never happen, and I have nowhere to live for the time being".

"Well, you can stay with me and our lovely family! You, Sonic, and the others did before. So why not do it again?"

"Are you sure? I don't want to be a bo-"

"Tails, you are my best friend. Of course it's fine. Plus, everyone will be excited to see you back. Not only that, but we could make some awesome inventions for the world!"

I started to tear up as my best friend looked at me with excitement. The exact thing I wanted was happening. I am here, with Chris, and we will be making awesome gadgets together!

"Thank you so m-much!"

I leaped up and gave him a hug and cried on his shoulder as I have never been this happy in years.

"Hey it's ok bud, but there are things we need to talk about since you are no longer a registered citizen".

I remembered when we saved the city after the first major crisis with Eggman, we were granted citizenship by the government. I got off his shoulder, and sat back down listening to him intently.

"The thing is that we need to grant you citizenship again. If we don't you could go to prison and I would get in trouble for housing an illegal immigrant, and I know we both don't want that to happen. Second, you are still a teenager. On Earth, teenagers go to high school. So that would mean we would have to give you a legal guardian because it is illegal to go to school without a legal parent or guardian. Lastly, we have to figure out a way to make you human not because I don't like you as an adorable two tailed fox, but I don't want you to be heavily made fun of for not being a human. Did you get everything I said?"

"Yeah, I got it. But I have a few more questions. who will be my guardian, and how are we going to make me a human?"

"Both of those answers are simple. I will become your legal guardian so you wouldn't have to live anywhere else, and we invent some kind of device that cloaks your real body and essentially replace it with a human body".

"You'd really do this for me? But why?"

"Tails, I really care about you, and I don't want to see you anywhere you would not feel comfortable in".

I started to tear up again after the plentiful amount of kindness Chris has shown me how far he would go to make me feel at home. I gave him one last hug and thanked him until I almost ran out of air. Now, I have a home, and I am going to school. It looks like my life is completely about to change
