Tails looked in shock as he saw the bat standing there, and seemed to be confused at her presence. He started to sweat nervously, the drops going clear down his back, which also caused it to get a little wet from this. "R-rouge? W-what're you doing here at this time of the day? I-I thought that you were at home taking a break from gem hunting or something!"

Rouge laughed softly, and spoke in her normal voice as she usually did. "Oh, I'm done with all that for today. Also, am I not allowed to come and see the cutest little fox in the world? ~" She laughed softly as she pulled on Tails' muzzle, which was still drying from the tears in it earlier. She giggled and gave him a pat on the back.

Tails just started to blush a crimson red, as he looked down with an embarrassed look on his face. "W-well if you were g-going to come over, you should've given me a h-head's up earlier!" His stutters kind of made it harder to understand him, but Rouge could still understand.

A small smirk came across the Bat's face. "Now, what's the fun in giving you a head's up that I'm coming, Miles?~ I just wanted to surprise you, and I see that it worked, you seem to have that nervous sweat again.~" She giggled softly, her wings flapping a little bit as she just stared at Tails.

Tails looked away, and was blushing harder now. "W-what?! R-rouge, I-I just wasn't expecting anybody to really come over today! I-I've had a rough day, and I just wanted to take a nap." Tails sighed, and his muzzle moved again as Rouge kept messing with it, which slightly annoyed him.

Rouge softly gasped, a little bit of a sad look coming over her face. "My my? Whatever happened to you poor little Miles Prower? Come on, you can tell me!~ I promise I can help if it's needed at all dear." She seemed to show some sympathy, which was strange in Rouge's case. She slowly pulled him into a hug.

Tails sighed, and explained everything he had explained to Knuckles earlier that day. "That's basically what happened, I just think I might need to find a new friend too… you can see why, ri-" Tails suddenly stopped as Rouge kissed his cheek.

Rouge stopped and looked at him. "Miles, that isn't like Sonic and I know it. Also sorry, thought that might help you kind of feel better.~ But really, that isn't like him at all! You're such a sweet fox, I couldn't understand why any living creature could hate somebody like you! Except Eggman, of course." She sighed, and gave him a small pat on the shoulder. She showed some more sympathy in her eyes.

Tails was blushing a very bright shade of crimson, as his expression turned into shock. "B-but… you just kissed me Rouge… a-and, I know… I just need a new best friend…" He stuttered this out as well, while his face turned into a loving kind of look as he said this.

Rouge smirked a little, and had an idea form in her mind. Her face turned to a think expression as she thought. This could finally be my chance, he won't expect me to say I want to be more than best friends here soon! She giggled softly, and put her hand on his shoulder with a smile. "I'll be your new best friend, Miles. I really think we'd be good friends you know?"

Tails had a sliver of a smile come onto his face, as his ears perked up as well. "Really, Rouge? You'd do that for me?! That's so nice of you! Thank you so so much! I don't know how I could thank you, this makes me so much more happy!" Tails seemed to literally be jumping with joy at this point.

Rouge held up a finger, in order to get him quiet. "Not so fast there Miles, I have one catch if we're actually going to be 'best friends' for a while.~" That smirk when Rouge was up to something came across her face as she said this.

Tails tilted his head over to the side. "Oh, sure thing Rouge! What is it? Need a device to help you find gems more easier? Need some help with anything? Need to get a date?!" He kept blurting out, not knowing what else it could really be at this point.

Rouge got an even bigger smirk, moving her fingers to hold up Tails' face. "Actually, yes Miles… one of those is correct. I need you to help me get a date, but there's one rule it needs to be before I absolutely decide!" She laughed softly and whispered to Tails. "It has to be you, Miles…"
