Tails finished his robot in a month, in that time, Fiona stayed away a while. He found he missed her a bit. He made an appointment to sell his new robot to some companies suddenly his door bell rang. He went out to the front door and opened it to find Julia.
"F- Julia, how nice to see you…" he said with a forced smile.
"Howdy sugar, can ah come in?"
"Sure, he took a step to the left and let her in."
"Ugh thank god! Can I use your bathroom so I can get these contacts out?"
"Yeah, you know where it is right?"
"I know where everything in your house is Tails." She said, taking off her heels and walking up to the second floor to his bathroom where she took her colored contacts out and sighed satisfied as she walked out and back to Tails who was in his garage writing on a clip board.
"What are you up to?"
"Doing some last minute checks and checking everything off."
"I see. So did you miss me?"
"I did, surprisingly."
"Aw, so you do like me." She said hugging him.
He blushed at this, "y-yeah, what about it?"
"Do you want to go out?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean leave the house, go out and see the sunlight, do you even remember what that looks like, or even is?"
"Ha ha, very funny. I had the blinds open in my room every morning so yeah I know what it looks like."
"Is that a yes, or a no?"
"I just said yes i know what it looks l-"
"No short bus, do you wanna go on a date?"
"You don't have to be rude, he said with a sigh, "where to?"
"Dinner."
His breath caught in his throat, "are you…"
"Yes, I'm asking you on a date."
"I'm not stupid Fiona, I was going to ask if you were going to suggest going to knuckles."
"Ew hell no, their food is as cheap as my pay. I was thinking of a real restaurant."
His stomach rumbled, "fine. Am I going to need to put on a suit?"
"Calm down it's not that fancy, it's one of those places that calls itself fancy because it's got cloth napkins. "
"Oh, okay."
"Take your time with your robot, I'm not too keen to put my contacts back in", she said with a sigh.
Tails and Julia walked in and sat at a table. "Ah love this place, great food."
"I agree, you've got great taste Fio- Julia."
"Who's this Fiona person ya keep callin me?"
Tails refrained from rolling his eyes, "a real jerk, and ugly too. Ouch!" He yelped as Julia kicked him hard in the shin.
"Oops, mah bad", she said with a calm smile.
"Hello there. What will you be having tonight?"
"Well, ah'm gonna get the spaghetti."
"I'll get the lasagna", Tails said.
"And to drink?"
"Waun."
"What?"
"Waun."
"What?"
"She's saying wine." Tails said annoyed.
"Oh okay, and you sir?"
"I'll get-"
"Waun."
"Okay then, I'll be back with your food."
"What, you're ordering my food now?"
"No, ah'm orderin yer drink, ya gotta learn ta live sugar."
"I don't like to drink."
"Ya do tonight hon."
The waiter came back with their drinks and set the bottle on the table before walking off. Julia poured them both a glass of wine, and drank a good chunk of it. "You gonna drink Tails?"
"I told you I don't drink."
She rolled her eyes, "stick in the mud…"
Tails looked at her then back down to the drink and sighed. "Fine." He picked up the glass and drank from it and gagged, "oh god that's bad!"
"Ha! You really don't drink, do ya?"
"No, I hate drinking." He said.
"Keep drinking, it'll get better as you drink it."
"I'll be drunk by then."
"Ah have a license, and ah can hold mah waun, unlike l, you." Their food came and they ate and Fiona drove Tails home and helped him upstairs to his room she helped him to the bed, he was supported by her, an arm around her neck as she walked him to it, she did so with relative ease.
