Tails the Fox sat in his laboratory, talking to his friend Rouge the Bat. He had invited her for an important meeting about a new device he had invented, one that could help her in her life of crime. But really, he wanted something else instead... As Tails passed the device to her, she looked at it with both curiosity and confusion.
"So this thingamajig can do what?" Rouge asked as she carelessly flipped around Tails' device. It resembled a mix between a TV remote and a phone, with a detailed scanner on one end and a "materializer" on the other. She didn't know how he invented something so compact like this. Was it infused with Chaos energy?
"What it does is create skinsuits. You just aim it at your target, activate it, and BAM! A replica of that person's skin will be materialized for you to wear!" Tails smiled as he explained his device to Rouge. She would surely be impressed and accept his deal. "And the best part? When you wear the skinsuit, you will gain the personality and memories of the person it is based on!"
Gaining someone's personality and memories through a skinsuit? Oh, Tails ABSOLUTELY infused this device with Chaos energy, Rouge thought. "And why do you think that I should have it? This thing sounds too dangerous to hand it to me of all people," she questioned.
"Because you're a master thief! Why wouldn't you want to disguise yourself as a security guard, look through their memories for lock numbers, and steal all the gems you can find?" Tails explained.
Rouge sighed. "Because I can steal as many gems as I want without the device, fool! But actually, the way you described it, it actually does sound pretty fun... You know what? I'll take it!"
"YES!" Tails cried out in joy. "Thank you!" He then dropped his voice to a whisper. "As for my end of the bargain, could you let me... Make a skinsuit of you with the device?" He almost cringed as he spoke his request.
"Ooh, someone's got some fantasies!" Rouge smiled, and got up close to Tails, eye to eye. "I'll accept your request... On one condition. Do not, under any circumstances, try to impersonate me out in public without my consent. I value my privacy and reputation, you see, and I would hate it if some perverted fox ruined my life because he wanted to roleplay as his sexy bat friend! If you love being me so much that you disrespect the actual me, then I'll make sure you'll be me for the rest of your life! Understand?"
Tails gulped. "Uhm, yes, I understand! I'll keep this a secret between the both of us!" He hadn't expected Rouge to threaten him with such a strange yet arousing fate if he stepped out of line. It almost made him want to try breaking her condition just to see what would happen.
Rouge obviously noticed his mischief. "Thinking of breaking my rule on purpose, Tails? Just to make yourself my doppelganger plaything? How interesting!" She paused. "Oh well, just make the skinsuit already and get on with it."
Tails activated his device, and watched as it scanned Rouge from head to toe. Then, it began to materialize her skinsuit on the ground before him. It looked hollow and soulless, like it was waiting for someone to give up their body to become its host. The skinsuit was completely naked, so Tails would have to find some clothes if he wanted to wear it.
Rouge, satisfied, took Tails' device and took her leave. "Have fun," she said walking out, "and I'll bring you some spare clothes tomorrow that you can wear as me! Remember, don't break my rule! Buh-bye!" With that, Rouge left the lab, but not before looking back and winking at Tails.
Now there are two paths. Will we follow what Tails does with his new skinsuit, or what Rouge does with the skinsuit device?
