The visits went on for the rest of the week and they were all pretty much the same Amy, Charmy, and Bean would come over, they would play for a little while and talk, then they would leave at the end of the day and Tails would read a few of his Dad's books before bed. After the week had ended Mogul arrived back but he seemed different, more distant, oddly serious, and even strange.
"Hey Dad are you ok?" Tails asked anxiously as Mogul wandered through the house as if he was lost.
"Don't worry about it Tails it was just a rough trip, nothing is wrong I just need to rest a little and think." Mogul answered almost emotionlessly as he sat down in his library.
Tails started to worry about his Dad but decided to shrug it off and went to go read some more.
The same thing happened for the next few days with Mogul spending a lot of time in his library and always acting distant and deep in thought.
'What's wrong with Dad he's acting really weird?' Tails asked himself as he saw his father go into the library again.
Tails decided to try and see what he was doing and sat outside the door to Mogul's library and started to hear voices.
"Master Mogul we have searched the Acorn Kingdom as fast as we could without being noticed and we found the files you wanted." A gruff voice spoke and awaited a response.
"Good job now I want you all to lay low until I summon you again now that my plans begin in a few short years without any interruption so I won't need any of you to help me with this goal." Mogul told the mysterious voice and then a flash of neon green light erupted from the inside of the the room.
After the flash Tails heard Mogul moving around and assumed he was walking toward the door so he quickly ran back upstairs to his room as fast as he little legs could carry him.
'That was close, Dad almost caught me. But what was he doing in his library and who was he talking to?' Tails asked himself as he crawled back into bed.
Tails woke up early the next morning and walked downstairs and saw Mogul reading a book on the couch.
"Good morning did you get enough sleep?" Mogul asked suspiciously as he noticed Tails reach the bottom step.
'Does he know that I was outside the library last night?' Tails thought to himself nervously but quickly regained his composure.
"Yeah Dad don't worry about it." Tails told him as he walked into a different room of the house to avoid further conversation.
Tails then went to the library to see if anything happened from the flash he saw last night.
'What was that anyway it was so bright and then it just disappeared?' Tails asked himself as he entered the library and started to look around.
Tails searched the entire room but came up with nothing which left him with a few different questions.
'So if I heard a voice in here from last night and after Dad said that he would meet him again he disappeared in a flash of light so whenever he shows up again I need to see what's going on.' Tails thought to himself as he walked out of the library and heard a knock at the door.
Mogul had heard it as well so he set his book down and left his seat to answer the door with Tails following him.
"Hello, who are you three?" Mogul asked kindly as he opened the door and saw Amy, Charmy, and Bean.
"Hi you must be Tails's dad, we visited him a few times about a week ago and we were wondering if he could come outside and play?" Amy asked politely as she looked up at the gigantic Mammoth.
"That sounds great, Tails why don't you go and play with your friends but be sure to come back when your done." Mogul said as he walked back into the house and rubbed Tails's head as he pasted him.
"Hey guys thanks for coming." Tails said happily as he walked out the door and closed it behind him.
"Not a problem since it's the weekend we thought we would come and play." Charmy explained happily as he flew over the group.
The three then headed over to a nearby park and started to play tag.
"Ok Tails your it!" Bean called causing everyone to quickly run away.
Tails after realizing what just happened started to chase after Amy who seemed to be distracted about something.
'Amy is usually a lot faster than this what could be distracting her?' Tails asked himself as he continued his pursuit.
Tails had easily caught up to Amy and tagged her. He then turned around and sprinted away from her only to notice that she seemed to be deep in thought. Tails then ran over to Charmy and Bean to ask if they knew what was wrong with her.
"Hey guys is something wrong with Amy she seems to be thinking about something?" Tails asked the two while they watched Amy who was now humming to herself.
"Oh yeah she's just thinking about her imaginary boyfriend, I think it's some guy named Chronic or something like that." Bean said nonchalantly not noticing that Amy overheard him.
"His name is Sonic and he's not imaginary haven't you guys been watching the news, he has been wagging war against Robotnik with the freedom fighters and he us the fastest guy in the world!" Amy shouted at Bean who was quickly trying to hide from the infuriated Amy.
"Ok ok jeez calm down you crazy." Bean said to try and calm her down.
"Wait who are the freedom fighters I haven't heard of them?" Tails asked curiously, wondering who Amy was talking about.
"Tails how can't you know who the freedom fighters are after the king got captured by Robotnik there has been no one to fight him, until they showed up of corse. They fight Robotknik and keep us all safe from danger especially Sonic." Amy explained but seemed to go off track after mentioning the guy named Sonic.
Tails then just turned back to the other and hoped that they could just start playing again.
"So can we just play Tag some more?" Tails asked the group, obviously getting tired of Amy bragging about this Sonic guy.
"Nah how about we talk about your Dad he's really big, and scary, and fluffy." Bean said jokingly.
"Bean can't you just be nice to Tails, I don't think he wants you being rude to him and saying things about his Dad." Charmy warned Beam so to try and not make Tails feel bad.
"Thanks Charmy but I think I'll just go back home and play with you guys another day." Tails told him sadly, but as he left the park he could hear Charmy arguing and scolding Bean.
'I don't really mind Bean making fun of Dad and I, but I'm starting to worry about Dad.' Tails thought to himself worriedly as he arrived back home and silently entered the house so he could try and see what his Dad has been doing.
Tails walked around the house quietly and started to look for his Dad to see what he was up to now. As Tails walked by the library he peered through a a crack in the doorway from it not being fully closed and inside he saw Mogul reading a small book and there were several pieces of paper on his desk.
'What is he reading?' Tails asked himself as he continued to watch his father.
Mogul then closed the book and put it high up on one the top rows of the bookshelf and then gathered up all the papers and crumpled them into a ball.
"This is pointless, if I can't get to the island then I can't move my plans to the next phase." Mogul said in a serious tone as his hand glowed for a few seconds causing the crumpled papers to burst into flames that had quickly incinerated them.
'What was that?!?' Tails almost said out loud but immediately stopped himself before he made any noise.
Tails then noticed that Mogul was walking over to the door and decided to make an escape so he ran back to the front door and left the house as quietly as he could.
'I've got to tell someone maybe they'll know what's going on?' Tails asked himself as he went back to the park to see if his friends were still there.
As he got back he saw that they were still there and that Charmy was still talking to Bean while Amy was sitting on one of the benches starring at the sky.
"Hey guys I'm back, sorry for leaving earlier I was a little worried about something." Tails apologized as he entered the park and walked over to them.
"Don't sweat it, in fact I believe someone owes you an apology." Charmy said as he nudged Bean in the side.
"Yeah yeah jeez stop bugging me about it. Tails I'm sorry I was being mean and thinking that your Dad was weird." Bean said halfheartedly as he pushed Charmy away.
"It's not a problem I was just wondering if you guys could help me with something?" Tails asked the two of them nicely.
"Ok what is it?" Charmy replied, curious to what was bothering his friend.
"My Dad has been acting really strange lately and I need some help to figure out what's going on. So maybe I could invite you all for a sleepover and then you can help me find out what my Dad is doing." Tails offered and waited for their response.
"That sound fun we would be like spies!" Bean said sounding overly excited about the idea.
"I think it sounds cool to and I've always wanted to be a detective." Charmy mentioned with slight embarrassment as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Amy what about you?" Tails shouted to get her attention.
"Huh oh sure that sounds like fun Tails." Amy said not really paying any attention to the conversation.
"Amy please pay attention this is important to me!" Tails cried as he looked over at Amy.
"Ok I'll make sure to help with whatever you need." Amy replied nicely after feeling a little bad about her response.
"Good then maybe we can all sleepover at my house tomorrow and figure this out." Tails announced happily with his twin tails waving behind him.
"Sorry Tails but my Dad is taking us on a short trip tomorrow so I won't be able to go." Charmy mentioned sadly which put a wrench in the plan that Tails had thought up.
"What but we need someone who can fly to reach the top of the bookcase." Tails whined as he tried to think of another solution.
"Hey maybe you can fly with those tails of yours." Bean pointed out.
"Bean that's crazy and it would never work in a million..." Tails said only to be taken by surprise as Beam appeared behind him and wrapped his Tails together.
"Bean stop that what do you think your doing!" Amy shouted at him and got ready to pull him away from Tails.
As soon as Amy started to walk over to stop Bean he let go of the tails and they started to spin and push their owner forward a little bit until he was lifted up off the ground a few inches. After they stopped spinning Tails landed back on his feet and was surprised by what just happened.
"Wowee I didn't actually think that would work!" Bean shouted in amazement that he actually did something crazy and it didn't backfire.
"Well I guess we won't need help Charmy, at least as soon as I figure this out we won't. So have fun on your trip." Tails told his friend happily who was equally shocked about what happened.
"Ok then good luck." Charmy responded enthusiastically as he flew off.
"Good so we will meet here tomorrow and then go to Tails's house." Amy said to the two who were still here.
"Yep it's a date!" Tails said as Amy started to leave.
"Hey Tails don't get your hopes up I think the only date she wants to go on is with that Chronic guy." Bean told him as the two started to leave.
"It was an expression, whatever see you tomorrow Bean." Tails sighed as he said goodbye to Bean and went home.
Tails spent the rest of the day relaxing and as soon as it was getting dark he started to practice flying with his Tails on his bed which led to him being yelled at by his Dad several times.
"Tails would you stop jumping on the bed and go to sleep!" Mogul shouted after he heard Tails fall on it multiple times after a few of his failed flying attempts.
"Ok Dad goodnight!" Tails replied and went to sleep, dreaming about what he was going to do tomorrow.
