After awaking from his deep slumber, it took Tails a few moments to gather his bearings. Tails slowly got up from his bed and looked for the first proper time at his apartment.
When Tails bought the apartment, he got a good deal and all the contents were included, so he didn't need to buy a new couch, TV, bed or kitchen table. The only things he needed to buy were the kitchen utensils and food. Also when looking around he noticed that some of the paint had faded and will need a new coat of paint.
Tails was looking for the time to see how long he was asleep for and forgot to put and set his clock to the right time in his bedroom. Luckily he found a clock on the wall above the TV, and it said 11:30. "Jeez!" was Tails' answer to when he saw the time. "I best get a move on" he said before starting to unpack his clothes, towels and shampoo.
When he finally finished he noticed that it was now 12:15, and Tails started feeling hungry as he had not eaten since before his flight which was now about twelve hours ago. This was then confirmed by his stomach growling furiously at him for food. He decided that it would be best to find a café nearby then do his shopping. So he got changed into a new pair of jeans and put on a sky blue t-shirt.
As he closed and locked his door to his apartment he saw a female grey cat with black stripes wearing a long purple summer dress. "Um, excuse me" was all Tails could say before he was cut off by two people behind him. "WOW! Mum, Mum, Mum. Look! It's that hero from Station Square. It's Tails!" a young male grey kitten said. Causing the woman to look up. Before either Tails or the mother cat could speak, they were both cut off by a young male coyote who seemed to be the same age as the kitten. "WOW. It really is. Mr Tails. Mr Tails. Can we have your autograph please?" Before Tails could get any word in whatsoever, the female cat interrupted. "Now boys, you know it's not nice to stare and point." "Sorry mum" the boys said in unison. "That's okay. Really I don't mind." Tails said to the mother of the twins. "Actually I got an idea, but first what are your names?" Tails asked his two fans. "I'm Tom" the cat said and "I'm Jerry" the coyote said (I know, cheesy but I couldn't resist). "Well Tom and Jerry, I'm going out, so would you two like to show me around but I need to know where a café is and where a hardware store is." Tails told the two young boys. "We know where the café is" Tom said. "But we don't know where the hardware store is." Jerry said in disappointment. "Well that's too bad. I guess I'll have to ask your mother where they are and we can hang out for the day. Sorry boys, but I'll think I'll get your mum to show me around. I just remembered I need to go back in and get something. Now while I'm gone no asking your mum where the hardware store is." Tails lied and winked to the mother who let out a small giggle.
Tails couldn't help but also laugh to himself as he heard the two kids ask their mum frantically where the shop was whispered the location to both of them. "We know where it is. We know where it is." the two boys said in excitement. "Oh I guess I'll be hanging around you two then. Sorry mum." Tails said jokingly. "Oh, it's alright and please call me Susan." the mother said. "Nice to meet you Tails" Susan added while offering a hand out to shake. "Likewise" Tails said taking the hand and shaking it.
"So why do you wanna know where the café is Mr Tails?" Jerry innocently asked as all four made their way to the lift. "Well I moved in last night and haven't had anything to eat yet" Tails answered. "So, how long have you lived here?" Tails asked curiously to the mother. "We've lived here for about 6 years now when the building opened. You see my father owns the building and my husband, who I believe you have already met is the super" The mother replied. "hehe" Tails let out a chuckle scratching the back of his head out of embarrassment. "Sorry, about that", "Oh it's alright, It's just that we've had to work harder lately because we going down a bit on money," Susan replied in disappointment, "but thanks to you coming in we have enough money to run the building for about two more months." she said trying to cheer up as the lift had taken them to the lobby.
After they left the building, Tails was accompanied by the trio to café and all had something to eat. "Here let me pay." Tails said out of generosity, "No, no, no. Please let me" the mother insisted. "Well at least let me pay for my meal and your drink since I pretty much had everything on the menu and emptied the kitchen while at it" Tails said exaggeratingly. "Okay, you win" Susan said in defeat and caving into Tails' offer.
"Right, now I need to know where the hardware store is," Tails said as he crouched down to the boys. "Why don't you three go ahead and I'll meet you back at the building at 2", the mother said. "Sure you don't mind?" Tails asked to check, "Yeah, I'm only going grocery shopping anyway" she said to reassure Tails that everything would be alright. "Okay, then can you tell me where that is I need to go shopping later for some food?" Tails responded, "Yeah I'll tell you back at the building. Okay boys group hug" she said to her children as she embraced them "Now listen to Tails and do what he says I'll see you later" as she let go and gave both of them a kiss on the cheek. "Bye Mum" the boys said in unison as she walked off. "Now where's the hardware store and how about instead of walking we fly?" Tails asked to his two admirers. "Yeah, yeah, yeah" the boys said in unison jumping up and down in excitement.
A few hours had passed and Tails had dropped off the to boys back at their mothers a little late since the boys dragged Tails to the park to see all their friends and signed autographs and took pictures.
"Well, I guess moving here wasn't such a bad idea" Tails said to himself looking out the window of his apartment to see the sun almost setting and decided to relax.
