"Now that we've finished eating, it's about time I give you a tour of this place," said Areeta. "After all, wouldn't want any of you guys to get lost. Are you guys ready?"

Yes was their answer and Areeta watched as they slid down from their seats, making her consider once more whether or not she should get some furniture in their size. She wanted to ask them, but she didn't want to sound rude by calling them short.

As Areeta exited the dining room and went into the hallway, she turned towards her guests.

"Altogether this building has two floors. On each floor, there is about three directories posted. We'll start from the left side of the building and keep going until we get to the other ends, after that, I'll show you outside."

Ateera opened a door on her left."Right here we have the laundry room. It's fully stocked with bleach, fabric softener, and detergent. There's an iron and ironing board and there are also baskets in your rooms for you to carry your laundry with."

Ateera continued on, showing them many rooms, including a garage that was big enough to fit one of Tails's planes, as well as other vehicles, a large study, and a utility closet in case they made a mess.

As they neared the front entrance's receiving hall she showed them once more the room they had waited in and a walk in coat closet. There was also an elevator for getting to the second floor and a stairwell next to it.

"And then we have the kitchen, dining room, and pantry, which you guys are all familiar with already. Outside of the rooms, there's two one person bathrooms on each floor, one Mobian sized, the other human sized," Areeta said. Taking a deep breath, she turned back to my guests. "You guys bored yet?

"Huh?" said Sonic, who had spaced out.

Amy elbowed him the ribs for his rudeness.

"Don't worry, it's okay. Most of the things I've shown you so far have been pretty mundane. We're actually just about to get to the interesting parts on this floor, for instance, the lounge/game room," she said, opening up a door.

As she stepped inside with the others behind her.

"Cool!" exclaimed Charmy and Marine as they started looking around the room. The others, though less amazed, took a look around as well.

Inside the room were games galore. There were air hockey, pool, and ping pong table. There was a flatscreen, kitchenette with a fridge, three arcade games, and four beanbags on a large round carpet.

With a big smile, Areeta walked to the other end of the room and grasped the knob of a door. "But wait, there's more!" she said as she swung open the door. Some of the others stuck their heads inside the doorway, to see a mini cinema with six seats and a big screen. The speakers were spread all around the room, ensuring total immersion when watching the movie.

"Take a good look you guys, cause from here, this place just gets better," said Areeta with pride.

"Must be good to be a fanfiction writer, huh?" said Vector.

"Yep!" She said with a wide smile. "Come on you guys, there's still a lot to see."

The exited back into the hallway and continued the tour. As she walked passed some doors Areeta called out their names and purposes.

"That's the security room. There are cameras in all areas of the building, except for the bathrooms and bedrooms. From here everything is monitored. Also, you can find Ronaldo the security guard here if you're having any issues. Then we have the Creation Room, which you've already seen. During these two weeks, if you need to find me, I'll likely be either in my room or in here creating. That's the door to the basement."

There were a few more rooms on the first floor before they finally came to the other end of the building.

"This is the biggest room in the facility. It covers two floors and will be very important later on, so remember where it is."

Areeta pressed down on the handle and opened the door.

"This is the Training Room."

The room was indeed very large.

" Though I assume you guys have been in a training room before, let me quickly refresh your memories. Using that control panel over there, this room can quickly become a simulation room good for combat situation training. Other wise, it has two treadmills that can take 300 mphs, three punching bags, mats, hoops, which you can see hanging from the ceiling, a rock climbing wall, and many other stuff that can be found in that closet over there," she said, pointing to a door to her right.

"Up there, is a balcony that can be accessed via the second floor and is good for when the hoops are in use or you just need a higher point of view."

Areeta checked the clock on the wall. It would be noon in about 30 minutes.

"I have just enough time before lunch to show you what we have outside. I think some of you will really like it"

They walked out a back door into a fenced in yard. In the yard was a large tree that provided shade from the sunlight. From one of its lowest branches hung a wooden swing. The grass was lush and green and even had a few wildflowers growing in it. On the far side of the yard was a swing set, slide, seesaw, monkey bars, and one of those child operated carousels.

"Whoa..." Exclaimed Marine and Charmy before running of toward the play set. Tails and Cream followed after them.

Areeta walked over to a gate on the left side of the fence and unlocked it. "This is our last outside area," she said, pulling the gate open so they can see inside.

"...A hot spring? Really?" said Espio incredulously as he took a step into the gated area.

In the area was a small pool filled with steam rising out of it. Surrounding it was dark grey stone flooring and at the edge, near the fence shrubs and bamboo was growing.

"Yes...is there something wrong with that...?"

"You're an otaku aren't you?"

Areeta felt her cheeks heat up slightly in embarrassment. "I-I'm not as extreme as other people but... I indulge."

Espio let out a deep sigh. He had had enough experience in fanfictions to know that whenever the writer was into anime or stuff like that, it tended to leak into their stories. It didn't mean they were necessarily bad ,but some of the situations it created were tiresome. Sometimes it even led to crossovers.

As if reading his mind, Silver murmured under his breath,"Please don't let this lead to another Pretty Cure Crossover..."

"I don't know, it was kinda fun being a magical girl," said Amy, who was standing next to him.

"Sure, that's fun for you and Blaze, but it's not fun for me, Shadow, and Sonic when we end up going to the Sega building in dresses!" he replied.

"I actually thought you guys looked nice..."

Silver frowned at her.

"Okay, okay I'm sorry."

"Okay, and that's the outside. Shall we take a break for lunch?" asked Areeta.
