As if it wasn’t already strange enough that you became an older sibling to an alien blue hedgehog who possessed unparalleled speed, it became even weirder and unexpected when Tom and Maddie, your parents, returned home with a twin-tailed fox who shared a passion for gadgets and a red echidna who championed the ideals of honour. Despite the strangeness of it all, you couldn’t help but accept the newest additions to your family. Three new little brothers.

Tails walked through the house, still getting used to the feeling of being part of a family. He pondered the idea of running away, but decided against it. Sonic and Knuckles didn’t seem bothered by his twin tails, Tom and Maddie showed no concern for them, and as for you - well, he wasn’t sure what you thought about them. Tails' ears perked up as he heard an unfamiliar noise coming from the living room. It couldn't have been Sonic, Knuckles, Tom, or Maddie; they were all preoccupied. With curiosity piqued, Tails ventured forth to investigate.

It was you. You were sat on the couch, absorbed in the television. His small frame crept towards the armrest, his gloved paws gently resting against it. Tails’ curious eyes widened as a fox appeared on screen with multiple tails, just like his own. He watched in awe, the excitement clear in his expression. Foxes with multiple tails! They existed! He couldn’t be a freak if foxes with multiple tails were known on this planet. “What is that?!” He says happily, pointing towards the tv. “The fox! It’s like me!”
