A young fox flies through the air, smiling as he soars across the sky.
He had almost gotten the hang of it.
He loved the feeling of being free, just floating among the clouds, not having a care in the world.
Meanwhile, a mongoose, now in her teens had been focusing on her speed.
She zipped through the terrains of Downunda, with one goal on her mind, becoming a Freedom Fighter.
"Melody, Skye, time to get back to the house." A woman called for them.
The two of them joined her and followed her back to their home.
Upon entering, the two of them went to their rooms while the older mongoose was being held in the arms of a familiar fox.
"How are the kids doing, Mina?" He asks.
"Great, Skye is improving quickly and Melody's just about ready to join the ranks." Mina says.
That's right, after a few years Tails and Mina had tied the knot.
A year after their marriage, Mina was pregnant with Melody and a few years after that she had another child, Skye.
After Melody was born, they had decided to leave the kingdom and settle down in Downunda where they could live in solitude.
However that didn't stop Melody.
Mina had kept up her music, going out on the occasional small tour.
Melody had developed a love for music after hearing her mother on stage and once in a while she would join her in performing.
After performing in the kingdom however, Melody became obsessed with the new group of Freedom Fighters.
She had heard tales of her father's triumphs alongside the other original heroes of Möbius, but this new team became her passion.
From then on, she trained night and day in hopes that one day, she could join them.
"They grow up so fast." Tails says.
Mina puts her arm around him, resting her head on his shoulder.
Suddenly, they hear a knock on the door.
"I wonder who that could be." Tails says, getting up to answer the door.
Opening the door, reveals two individuals he knows all too well.
Standing in the doorway is a red shelled armadillo and a pink hedgehog.
"Mighty? Amy?" Tails says, in surprise.
"Hey, long time no see buddy." Mighty says.
"Yeah, come on in." Tails welcomes them.
"Mina, it's been forever!" Amy yells in joy, pulling Mina in for a hug.
"Yeah, it's so good to see you." Mina says.
"So, what brings you down here?" Tails asks.
"Well we heard that Mina's next performance was down here and we decided to bring a little fan of yours to see you sing." Mighty explained.
"A fan?" Mina questions.
"Yeah, come on out honey, don't be scared." Amy says.
Looking around from behind Mighty, a shorter pink shelled armadillo waves shyly at them.
"Tails, Mina, I'd like you to meet our daughter, Kara." Amy introduces them.
"Hello." Mina says, trying to get a better look but the girl goes back to hiding.
"Sorry, she's a little shy." Amy says.
"It's alright, our son is the same." Mina says.
"Oh yeah, we haven't even met him yet and we haven't seen your daughter since she was born." Mighty points out.
"Hang on, Melody, Skye!" Tails calls for them.
Their doors open and the two of them come rushing downstairs.
"Melody, Skye, this is… ." Tails starts but is interrupted by Melody.
"You're Mighty the Armadillo and you're Amy Rose." Melody starts fangirling.
"I take it she knows us." Mighty jokes.
"You're basically some of her heroes, she loves the Freedom Fighters, she's actually training to be one." Tails says.
"Pleasure to meet you." Amy says.
"Hope you've got what it takes." Mighty says.
They both turn their attention to the young fox, twiddling his thumbs in nervousness.
"N-nice to meet you." He stutters.
"Nice to meet you too." They both say.
"Kara, say hello." Amy tells her.
Kara steps out a little from behind Mighty, once again waving shyly at Melody before stopping, staring in awe at Skye.
Skye slowly looking up, witnesses the girl in front of him.
"Hi." She says softly, looking away to hide her blush.
"Hi." Skye says, doing the same.
"Wow little bro, in love already, I didn't know you had it in you." Melody teases.
Skye and Kara's blushes intensify.
"Melody don't tease them, it's adorable." Mina says, unintentionally making it worse.
Mighty laughs along, shooting a subtle glare at Skye.
Skye notices and cowers a little in fear.
"Well it's been a long day and we should get going, we'll see you tomorrow." Amy says.
"Can't wait." Mina says.
The three of them head out the door.
Skye without thinking, peers out the door, looking back at him is Kara.
Kara smiles and waves goodbye to the fox before heading off with her parents.
Skye sighs in newfound bliss, closing the door, turning around to find Melody with a smirk on her face.
"What?" He says.
"Nothing, nothing." She says, holding back her laughter as she headed up to her room.
Skye, not even caring, went back to his room, thinking about Kara.
Tails and Mina sat on the couch, cuddling each other.
"Huh, déjà vu." Tails says.
"What do you mean?" Mina asks.
"He really is like me, shy, nervous, falling for the perfect girl." Tails says.
Mina smiles and kisses him on the cheek, before laying her head against his chest.
"Yeah, but remember, you got the girl." Mina says.
She was right, in the end, through all of the troubles, he got the girl.
He had a place he could call home, two kids, the best friends one could have and of course, a loving wife.
