A/N: Ok I'm really getting into writing this story so don't worry about any lack of updates, but I will probably be working on a new cover and some other fan art soon so don't expect anything too fast. I would also like to apologize for taking so freaking long on this chapter.
Disclaimer: Sonic the hedgehog and all of it's characters don't belong to me and never will.

Tails had woken up the next morning and noticed all the tear stains on the pillow he slept on and the picture of him and his adoptive father. After staring at the picture for a few minutes he started to feel alone as he thought about how the person who raised him is now stuck on that island and that it was partially his fault for trapping him there.

'What will I do now?' Tails asked himself as he set the picture on the dresser next to his bed while he got up to go downstairs.

After Tails got to the main floor of the house he went to the kitchen and made himself some breakfast while he started to mull over a plan on what to do next. He couldn't head back to the island since he had no idea if he could even free his father, he couldn't go to Knothole because by now that Sonic guy is probably asking around about him and it would not take long for him to find Amy, and those were pretty much his only good options unless he just wanted to wander around Mobius until he figured something out.

Tails sighed as he left the kitchen and turned on the TV in his living room to the news channel to look at anything big that might be going on.

"In recent non-war related news there has been a large string of robberies in Central City that involved two separate parties, one who is well known among the criminal community as Rouge the Bat who has been robbing jewelers and other such businesses for months now, and a separate group of three unknown criminals who have yet to be identified and are often assisted by Nack the Weasel during some of their break ins and a single heist in which a chaos emerald was stolen from the city's new experimental power plant. " A short well dressed cat Mobian said as a small TV screen behind her showed pictures of Rouge and Nack.

"Maybe if I can get that emerald I can find a way to see Dad again, and maybe even get him out so I can talk to him." Tails hypothesized as he continued to watch the news and plan a trip to the city.

After the news about the Central City robberies ended Tails started to pack some stuff so he could head over there tomorrow. The supplies he packed mostly consisted of tools for his plane, a couple of books that were in a drawer of his Dad's desk in the library, and a large map that was folded up so he could put it in a compartment in the plane's cockpit for later.

Tails finished packing and set his bag in the living room when he suddenly heard a knock on the front door followed by someone repeatedly pressing the doorbell.

"Who could that be?" Tails asked himself as he started to get annoyed by the doorbell's constant ringing.
As soon as Tails opened the front door to see who it was he was quickly greeted by his old friend Bean who was with two other people who he didn't know, one being a large bear who was wearing tan mittens, a winter hat, along with a green scarf and the other was a red fox who wore an orange and white jumpsuit with a black back pack that looked a little heavy.

"Heya Two Tails how ya been?" Bean greeted excitedly after the door opened.

"Bean what are you doing here and who are they?" Tails questions him while ignoring what he had asked earlier.

"Awww is that any way to treat your friend, but if you have to know the big guy's name Bark which is funny because he never talks, and the pretty lady over here is Fiona who isn't really funny at all.....but if you ask me she is a little bit of a crabby pants." Bean introduced them and then whispered the last part secretly to him as if it was extremely important.

"Ok well if you have to know I've been fine, but you still haven't told me why you are here." Tails sighed in annoyance hoping that he would get to the point soon.

"Oh well we came here to ask you if we could stay here for a few days since Bark and I promised to help Mrs.Foxy lady with some stuff and now she says that she wants to rest up somewhere before we start moving again and since we were in the area I was wondering if you could help us out and let us stay here." Bean answered rather politely and out of character.

"Ummm sure but I'd like to talk and catch up with you later alright." Tails said awkwardly after being a little thrown off by his change in demeanor.

The trio then proceeded to walk into the house with Bark stopping momentarily to shake Tails's hand before he left the doorway while Fiona just seemed to walk right past him and started looking around the house as if she was a little paranoid about something.Then Tails grabbed Bean by the arm and brought him to the library after he walked in and closed the front door.

"Ok first thing is that if you are going to stay here then I want you to make sure that no one comes into this library especially that Fiona girl, she seemed way too shifty as soon as she arrived, and you're going to tell me right now everything about your two friends." Tails said in a scarily serious tone as he glared at Bean.

"Ok ok no need to get your tails in a knot. I met Bark a little while after leaving the Battle Bird Armada and the two of us became pals while that Fiona lady is just a person we said we would help out just like I told you earlier." Bean explained briefly as he sat down in the chair that was behind Mogul's desk.

"Well what were you helping her with that needed for you to come here!" Tails raised his voice at him as he started to get angry with the short answers that he gave him.

"Just some boring business stuff, it's not an issue really and we're only staying here because she was complaining about being tired. Now can we just let it go it's not that big of a deal." Bean whined as he started to spin around in the chair.

"Fine but if something happens I'm going to hold you responsible, now would you please just get out." Tails sighed as he started to get tired of the conversation as well as Bean's antics.

"Okie Dokie propeller butt, I'll see ya later then!" Bean obliged happily as he hopped off the chair and left the library while Tails stayed behind to look around his father's stuff.

Tails had stayed in the library until later that evening and started to fall asleep at the desk until he heard some loud noises coming from the kitchen that woke him, so he immediately ran out to see what was happening, and as soon as he made it to the kitchen he saw Bean and Bark making a ridiculously tall sandwich that while that Fiona girl was just sitting at the table with a cup of coffee.

"Bean what are you doing?" Tails asked even though he really didn't want to know whatever reason Bean had for raiding his fridge.

"Oh well since your Dad isn't here and you were just sitting around in that boring old library we thought that we would get some din din before heading off to sleepy time." Bean answered rather innocently with a wide smile on his face.

"You know what fine but just ask next time." Tails said as he started to feel tired as well and started to go upstairs to his room.

"Oh wait we wanted to ask where we would all sleep?" Bean stopped him before he could get any farther.

"Can't you all just sleep in the living room or something." Tails says as he rubs his eyes so he could stay awake.

"Well you see Mrs. Fiona crabby pants over there says that their was no way that she was going to sleep in the same room as the two of us so we were wondering if you could maybe let her use your Dad's bed or something." Bean pouted as he pointed his thumb over at Fiona.

Tails took a minute to weigh the options of letting her use his Dad's room and eventually he quickly reached his decision after thinking about the possibility of Mogul hiding stuff in his room as well as the library.

"Fine she can take my room while you two take the living room." Tails answered tiredly as he went up to Mogul's room so he could finally sleep and then search the room in the morning for more stuff that could help him.

Tails quickly went to sleep that night so he could get up early the next morning, but he did not know the events that occurred with his three guests and all the people who were in the pursuit of them.

Tails woke up early the next morning so he could wake up his guests and then start searching the house more for more of his Dad's secrets after they leave, so he went down to the living room and saw Bark sprawled across the couch with Bean on top of his large belly with a blanket.

"Ok guys time to wake up." Tails said as he shook Bean's shoulder to try and wake him.

"Awww five more minutes!" Bean complained as he tried to roll away from Tails, only to end up falling off the couch.

"Are you up now?" Tails joker he helped Bean stand up and made sure he wasn't hurt from the fall.

"Yeah I'm ok, why did you get us up so early anyways?" Bean asked as he stretched his back out which a couple of popping while he was doing it.

"Well not to be rude, but when you guys got here I was in the middle of some important stuff so I was kinda hopping that you guys could leave soon." Tails replied awkwardly, feeling like he was being a little harsh with his old friend.

"Fine if it keeps you from getting your tails in a twist we'll get going right away." Bean moped as he shook Bark, who woke up slowly but didn't seem tired at all unlike himself.

"So where are you guys going to go after you leave?" Tails asked as he and Bean went upstairs to his room to wake up Fiona.

"I don't really know, I guess we'll hang around Miss crabby britches for awhile and then the two of us will find something else to do." Bean replied as they got to the bedroom door and entered the room only to find the window open with Fiona nowhere to be seen.

After the initial shock over their missing guest Tails looked over the room and found a note left on the pillow.

"Hey Bean look she left a note." Tails said as he showed it to him only for him to take it from his hand and started to read it aloud.

"Oh really what did she say? 'Hey kid thanks for letting me stay the night but I have to look after myself so I left the boys with you. No hard feelings but by the time you read this I'll be long gone. Now don't get in too much trouble, I hope to see you three again some time. Also before I forget tell Bean and Bark thanks for helping me if it weren't for them...' and I'll just stop reading if you don't mind." Bean stammered out as he folded up the note and put it behind his back to try and hide it.

"Bean what does the rest of the note say?" Tails asked as he tried to take the note back from Bean only to be interrupted by a loud knock at the door.

"Oh look you have company, I'll just get out of your way so you can go get that." Bean pointed out as he quickly ran downstairs.

"Fine but this isn't over!" Tails shouted at him as walked downstairs to answer the door.

After opening the front door Tails saw that there were two people standing there, one was a Chipmunk girl holding a small portable computer device and was wearing a blue vest and similar boots, and the other girl was a yellow bunny with a robotic arm along with her waist and legs and was wearing a purple tank top and a cowboy hat.

"Ummm hello do you need something?" Tails asked politely as he looked up at the two people standing on his doorstep.

"Well actually we were wondering if you've seen any suspicious people around the area lately, you see a group of thieves have recently stollen a valuable item from Central city and we suspect that they've headed this way to try and escape the authorities." The chipmunk girl answered nicely while still keeping an authoritative tone with him.

"Sorry I haven't seen anything, but I'll keep my eyes open if I see anything." Tails replied while he started to grow more suspicious toward Bean and the people he brought.

"Thanks for letting us know and if you find anything try to find us since we'll be staying in town for a couple days. But it's been nice meeting you and before I forget my name is Sally and her name is Bunnie." She said happily as the two of them got ready to leave.

"It was nice to meet you too and my name is Tails just so you know." Tails said as he closed the door so he could go talk to Bean about the note.
