Mina headed into the outskirts of the woods.
The forest had regrown over time since that terrible day when Eggman attacked.
Thankfully Eggman had been defeated a year back and everyone was free to live in peace.
However, no one ever ventured into the woods again, many thought after Eggman's defeat they would begin rebuilding Knothole, but no such plan came to fruition, now it was just a memory.
However for Tails, after all that had happened to him, he called it his new home.
He had constructed a home for himself after the Freedom Fighters disbanded, since then he resided there, only visiting Sonic and Sally on occasion.
Tails sat in his living room, playing a game.
A knock on the door interrupted him, he saved the game and turned the console off.
"Who is it?" He questioned, seeing as he never got visitors.
"It's Mina." She says.
Tails opens the door and lets her in.
"Well this a surprise, what's it been, 5 years?" Tails asked.
"Yeah, seems like longer though." Mina says, walking towards him and proceeds to wrap her arms around him.
"Uh, Mina, what's up?" Tails asks, in confusion.
"Nothing, I just heard what happened with Fiona, I'm sorry." She says, laying her head on his chest.
"It's alright Mina, that was years ago, I'm better now." He says.
"Still if you ever need anything." She offers.
"I appreciate it." He says.
"Here, have a seat, tell me all about what you've been up to." Tails says, moving over to the couch and offering her a seat.
She obliges and takes a seat next to him.
"Well the tour was amazing, I especially loved Downunda, I'm thinking about moving there." She says.
"Seems like you had fun." Tails says, with a smile.
"Yeah…" She starts trailing off.
"So, how are you and Ash doing?" Tails asks.
Mina looks down, pushing back the tears.
"We aren't together anymore, he cheated on me while we were touring." She says, feeling sick as she thinks back on it.
Tails, immediately regretting mentioning him pulls Mina into his arms.
"I'm sorry I brought it up, the same offer stands, if you ever need anything, I'm here." He tries to comfort her.
"Thank you." She says, returning the embrace.
"Listen, Ash is an idiot, he had someone as beautiful and kind as you and he threw it all away, well it's his loss and I know he's gonna be kicking himself later on." Tails says.
Mina stared at the fox, both amused and flattered.
"That very sweet of you Tails." She says, before kissing him on the cheek.
Tails blushes and looks away bashfully.
"Listen, I heard you hadn't accepted the invite to Sonic and Sally's wedding yet." She says.
"Yeah, I wasn't sure if I was gonna go." Tails says.
"But Sonic and Sally are your best friends." She pleads.
"I just don't like leaving the house much these days." Tails says, looking away once more.
"Well that changes today, since I'm back I need someone to take me on a tour through town and guess what, you're it." She says, pulling on his arm leading him out the door.
"Wait, Mina!" He yells, to no avail.
Mina continuously tugs on him to keep him moving.
"She's determined, I'll give her that." He thinks, trying to get out of this.
"He just needs to get back out there and enjoy himself, still what could have made him like this, what happened to the innocent little pilot I used to know?" Mina's mind questions the possibilities as they arrive into the kingdom.
The two spent a few hours wandering around the town, Tails showed her the sights and took her around the markets and stores.
Tails offered to carry Mina's bag as she lead him somewhere else.
"Uh Mina, where are we going?" Tails asks.
"We're going to the castle." She says.
"What for?!" He shouts, worried.
"Your going to accept your invitation to the wedding in person." Mina says.
"Mina, I already told you, I don't even know if I'm going." Tails says.
"What's so bad about seeing all your friends?" She asked.
"Because I haven't seen most of them since..." He starts but stops, realizing his mistake.
"Since what?" Mina asks, curious.
"Forget it." Tails sighs, handing Mina her bag and walking away.
"Tails, answer me, since what?" Mina asks again.
"SINCE MY PARENTS DIED, OKAY!" Tails shouts, angrily.
Mina can only stare back in shock at what Tails had just told her let alone how he did it, she had never seen Tails angry, and she knew she never wanted to see it again.
Mina started to shake in fear, Tails realizing what had happened, quickly ran over to comfort her.
"I'm sorry Mina." He apologized.
"It's alright, I should've just left it alone." She says.
"If it's alright, what happened to them?" She asks.
"It was during Eggman's last stand, my mother and father were leading a strike force against him, unfortunately they were not strong enough and Eggman's defenses had overpowered them, his machines quickly trampled the soldiers, my parents fought bravely, they managed to take down Eggman's shields for us to launch our attack but they didn't make it." Tails told her, tearing up as he remembered that day.
Mina, at a loss for words can only stay there in Tails' embrace.
"And I thought I had it bad, no wonder he grew up so fast, losing the people he loves is no easy thing for a kid to experience." She thinks, as she breaks the hug and starts walking with him, back to the castle.
Meanwhile...
Amy Rose was going through her mail when she came across the wedding invitation.
A smile grew on her face as she rushed to her house.
She ran inside and jumped onto the couch, into the arms of a guy.
"Guess what just came in the mail?!" She says, excited.
"What?" He asks.
"A wedding invitation, Sonic and Sally are getting married!" She shouts.
The guy chuckles.
"So the old blue speedster finally decided to tie the knot, good for him." He says.
"Yep, it says I'm invited and I get to bring a guest." She says.
"It's been awhile, I wonder if they even remember me." He says.
"They will, I can't wait for them to see you, they totally won't see it coming." She says.
"Yeah, I better go into town and rent a tuxedo, see you later, gorgeous." He says, kissing her on the cheek and rushing out of the house in a red blur.
