After catching up with the figure in the distance, you find yourself face to face with what appears to be a slightly older Tails (a fox that you could recognise from his two trademark tails). Other than obvious height growth he experienced, you find that he's now wearing a red hoodie, blue sweater pants, and the signature red and white sneakers that you think about from time to time. You also notice the tracking gear attached all over his body, his eyes focused on a blinking monitor that he's holding in his hands.
"Yes! It finally worked! My inter-dimensional transporter device is finally working!" the excited fox shouts cheerfully, "And all it took was a few lil' adjustments!"
He looks up from the monitor, and smiles at you before speaking.
"Welcome back!" he says happily, "It's been quite a while since we last met, huh! Well, here I am again!"
"...yeah," you reply, somewhat confused by how you even got transported here... for the second time apparently.
Tails notices your confusion and chuckles, before he begins explaining, "Where do I even begin? You know those weird dreams you'd been having? That was my device trying to communicate with you! And... my machine has noticed that they all share a specific fantasy of yours."
You cringe, now knowing that the dreams you vividly had were broadcast by one of your favourite characters from the Sonic franchise. But strangely, the carefully chosen words from his mouth suggests that those imaginary scenarios actually happened. However, that isn't the last of his explanation.
"Unfortunately, and please don't be mad at me, pretty much all my friends might have seen them too accidentally," Tails says nervously, as he shifts his eyes away from you.
Beat.
"How much did they see?"
"Enough," Tails whispers.
You're frozen in fear, unable to speak or move.
"Don't worry man, it's okay! Yeah sure, most of my friends are weirded out by your dreams but honestly, I find it incredibly fascinating! And really, I'm very flattered you like my feet that much. That's why I want to run a couple of experiments on you, at my house of course!"
He pauses, and shuffles his shoed feet while maintaining eye contact with you. For a second, you swear you saw a suggestive smirk on his face before he quickly switched back.
"Or, you can smell my feet right now," Tails offers, although in a more quiet tone, "It's totally up to you, but please pick the experiments, I really wanna run some experiments on you."
