"Well…that's new."
Tails stared at the eHarmony screen when he was logged on as Marine. Was something offensive about Marine? He could think of nothing, but that didn't stop Marine from only having one watcher. Upon closer inspection, he realized that this particular user had been one of the first watchers on every single one of the girls' profiles.
Unfortunately, that person was an armadillo that wore thick rimmed glasses, had major buck teeth and a username called 'StarTrekRocksMySocks'. Nope, he wasn't pairing up Marine with some nerd.
Tails sighed and leaned back in his office chair. Darnit! Why did all the other girls have like a gazillion watchers and poor little Marine just had some nerd stalker armadillo?!
That wasn't going to be a good thing. Now what exactly was he going to do with his raccoon friend? He couldn't just leave her hanging like that. She hadn't forgotten that he promised to take each of them on a trip, and she would begin to wonder if Tails was lying to her.
Suddenly, the twin-tailed fox got an idea. Why not instead of taking Marine to some guy that he hardly knew, he could take her to a place where she would fit in—Downunda! Every person there spoke with an Aussie accent. It would be perfect.
Tails disconnected from the internet and picked up his cell. He dialed Marine's number and waited for someone to pick up.
"G'day," she said into the receiver. Tails smiled at her familiar voice, grateful she wasn't on some other big excursion.
"Hey Marine," he replied casually. "Hey, remember how I promised all you girls that we'd go on a trip together?"
There was a pause. "Ah mate, yer mean those other sheilas? R'they still even alive? Oi haven't seen 'im in yonks."
Tails found it hard to understand Marine's speech around her accent. "Yes, those other…sheilas."
"Oi dan't wanna go on a trip wi' 'im!" Marine whined. "Oi hate just abat every one of 'im!" Tails chuckled and rolled his eyes.
"No, Marine, you aren't going on a trip with them," he replied. "You're going on a trip with me."
Another short pause.
"Wahahahahahahaha!" Marine laughed. "'at's a good one! Hahahahaha!"
"What are you laughing at?" Tails demanded, feeling a blush come to his cheeks. What did he say that was so funny?
Marine stopped laughing before she answered. "YOU? Go on a trip with ME? 'ave yer ever tried ta travel with me, mate? 'cause the geezers that do dan't come back happy."
Tails wasn't sure how to respond to that. Geezers…? "Um, well, that's OK. I'll deal with it…" He stopped talking because Marine busted out laughing again. The fox began to get agitated.
"Alright, listen up! We're going to Downunda whether you like it or not!"
There was a pause before Marine screamed. "Downunda! Really, mate?! Oi've always wanted ta go ta Downunda…"
Tails smiled. "Good. Then I'll meet you at your place in a little while, OK?"
The fox flattened his ears against the receiver as Marine gave out another scream of joy. "Ta-ta!" she yelled at the phone and slammed it down on the receiver.
Tails stared at the phone and put it down. Sllooooowwwwlllyyy.
Yup, I know. Short chapter. It's because this time Tails didn't chat with anyone on eHarmony. I haven't decided for sure yet, but I'm pretty sure next chapter will be the last one. Makes sense, right? Well, have a good day. And most importantly, REVIEW!! Oh, and if you are a Naruto fan, would you please vote on the poll on my profile? PLEEEEASE??
