Tails shielded his eyes from the purple light. After a while Tails put his hand down and the purple light disappeared. Tails was in a place he had never been in before. I looked kind of like a tropical paradise, but it almost seemed better than that. It seemed pretty weird. Then Tails noticed something out of the corner of his eye. He couldn't tell whether it was a huge rock or a cave. He suddenly felt a strange urge to see what was in or under that thing. Then, as if he was being carried forward, Tails started moving towards the thing. Metacarples noticed this immediately and grabbed one of Tails's tails. "Oh no you don't." he said. Tails suddenly felt the feeling go away. "How do you feel?" Metacarples asked. He looked a little worried. "Um, fine now. Hey, what's in there anyway?" Tails asked. "Oh, that? I'll tell you later. Anyway, C'mon, I'll show you around." Metacarples said. Tails agreed. They walked away from the mysterious thing.

When Tails first came to this place, he thought it was just a tropical island. But he was wrong. Him and Metacarples had a fun day exploring a grassland, a mountain range, a rainforest, a prairie, and even the inside of a cave that was completely covered in jewels! Tails and Metacarples had just returned to the thing when the sun was setting. "Wanna go up to the top of the cave to watch the sunset?" Metacarples asked. "I've never really been into sunsets." Tails said. "These aren't just your average sunsets, they're better than the best sunsets ever seen on Earth." Metacarples said. "Ok, then." Tails said. Metacarples teleported him and Tails to the top of the cave. Tails knew what Metacarples meant when he said "they're better than the best sunsets ever seen on Earth". The sky was almost filled with color. Tails still had some questions for Metacarples, but he was a little bit hesitant to ask. After awhile he built up the courage to ask. "Umm.. Metacarples?" Tails said slowly. "Yeah Tails?" Metacarples answered. "I have a few questions."

"Well, let's hear 'em."

"Where are we?"

"Home."

"You live here?"

"Yeah." "How long?" "Well, ever since I was about 4." "Why so young?" "Well... umm.... because..." Tails noticed Metacarples suddenly looked really unhappy. Just as sudden as it came, the sad look on Metacarples's face went away. Then he started talking again "Let's change the subject. Do you have another question?" "What's in this cave?" "I'll show you when I've known you for a long time and I'm absolutely sure I can trust you to keep a secret." "Ok, I have another question, is this place on Earth?" "It's another realm right off of Earth" "Those are all my questions." "Ok." They sat silently for a few minutes watching the sunset. Suddenly Metacarples said "I think the sunset's over, better get you back to Sonic or else he'll never trust me again." "Ok." Tails said. Metacarples teleported him back to Earth. It was still daytime there. "What's going on?" Tails asked. "I'll explain tomorrow, bye Tails." Metacarples said. "Bye." Tails answered. Metacarples disappeared in a flash of purple light.
