Tails' Workshop

[Tancer Fang]

Vanessa growled putting her full effort into sending Skyes' hand the other way. After struggling with the giant dog for a good 2 minutes, she found her arm bending back slowly. "You... you're strong!"
With in the next few moments her paw was almost completely sent back the other way. She gritted her teeth, her tail flailing back and fourth. "....not... gonna.... lose!"
Her paw touched the bear and retracted it instantly, throwing her arms up in defeat. "aahh how could I lose? You'r really strong, Blockhead!" She flashed him a smile, Her pumpkin orange eyes looking him over again.
"I guess you can have a bar." She said rolling her eyes, she picked up the box handing one over to Skyes.

[Skyes Lowell]

"Yes! Victoly!"
"It's 'Victory', you idiot."
"I- knew that."
"Whatever." Semyl scoffed. She turned to face Tails, listening kindly to the boy, "Sure thing, kiddo~ ♥. Tell ya what, I'll even cross first, if you change your mind- just to show you it's okay." she reassured him, ruffling his hair lightly. "Nice ta' meet'cha!"

"Why is she always nice to kids, but not to me....?" Skyes pouted, looking back at the cat. "Er- thanks! You're not too bad! But I never did get your name. And mine isn't blockhead, it's-"
" I d i o t ." Semyl whispered with her magic, audible only to Skyes, who shot a glare at her over his shoulder. "S o r r y . I . C o u l d n ' t . R e s i s t ."
"-Skyes." he finished, smiling at Vanessa in an effort to hide his irritation. Semyl could only giggle and pat Tails affectionately.

"He's sooooo cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute! ♥ Hey, brother, doesn't he kinda remind you of whatshisface?"
".....Gary?" he said, implying that Tails resembled their favorite younger brother. "..........."
" S k y e s ? W h a t . I s . W r o n g ?" he heard her wind whisper to him.
"We still haven't found him. There's no way a little kid like him can last much longer by himself...." the dog thought bitterly. He shook his head. Semyl could communicate with him through nature, but he couldn't do the same- only his gaze clearly told her 'Save it for later'.

"....SO! Where'd you learn to hold out on that? You had me going for a couple of minutes!" he said lightly to Vanessa.

[Tails]

Tails listened to Semyl and was excited to know she cared about him. He even smiled wholeheartedly when she ruffled his hair. He figured his smile was enough to let her know he was glad to have met her too.

He kept his eyes on Semyl, even as he listened to Vanessa and Skyes become great friends. Usually it was a good sign for Vanessa to share, or at least Tails figured that.

Tails loved the affection he was getting from Semyl, especially the giggling and the pats on the head. When he heard her say he was so cute, he blushed. He still was able to listen to the next couple things that were said even with the blush making his cheeks bright red.

Tails calmed himself down and asked. "Who's Gary? Is he a friend of yours?"

[Tancer Fang]

"Huh? It's not Blockhead? But that was such a cool name." A look of disappointment came over Vanessa's face as Skyes true name was revealed to her. It quickly passed, Vanessa was a generally up beat person with pessimism only affecting her for a fraction of a second. She gave the dog a smile "Cool name!"
When it was her turn to introduce herself, she felt it was necessary to do little more dramatic, as her and Skyes have already done "battle'. "East Side Gunz 3rd enforcer, Vanessa "Blaze" Blue! I'm going to be the one who'll kick Tancer Fang's tail!"

She grinned at Skyes comment, holding her right arm out she made a muscle wrapping her other paw around her well defined bicep.
If he hadn't noticed now, Skyes and the others would definitely notice now that she had a multitude of scars on her body. Vanessa's life on the streets and her own style of combat had not been kind to her body.

"I aint no weakling, and to prove it we're gonna to the edge of the forest and I am gonna kick this "world rip's " ass!"

The blue cat zeroed in on Tails fearing this world rip, so she figured if she got rid of it he wouldn't be afraid to leave the forest. She had no clue what it was nor that she couldn't physically beat it up. That aside she shot Tails a thumbs up, if the world rip was an actual person, they would be in big trouble right now.

[Skyes Lowell]

"Oh, no, Gary is our little brother- er- one o' them." Semyl explained to Tails.
"I still don't see the resemblance."
"Awwww, but Skyyyyes, look! He totally has that cute thing going on." she insisted, prodding his cheek.
"But- this.... is a fox. Which has zero resemblance to Gary who is a... a..."
"Mutt."
"D-d-don't be vulgar!"
"Fine. Mixed Canine. But- looooook! He's totally, like, compact. And cute eyes. And compact. Yiiiiiiii~ Just like Gary." she giggled, trying to point out the almost nonexistent similarities.
"I- don't think that's a really solid comparison. Feh, you get so girly around children."
"~♪ ~"
"You're not listening..."

Skyes listened silently as Vanessa introduced herself. Something bothered him a lot about what she said... "Hehehehe, nice to meet you, Vanessa." Something was ringing a bell, causing him to kind of space out on his own thoughts.

"She likes fighting... seems street oriented... speaks a bit- slangy? Likes to show off strength... and can use some form of elemental magic. Why does she seem so... familiar? It's almost like as if... she's just like-"
"Hey, blockhead, are ya coming?" Semyl snapped at her brother.
"O-o-oh, yeah. Wait, what? Semyl, Dad always said not to rush into things you don't know about." Skyes said. Whatever line of thinking he had going, she just interrupted it. "Oh well. I probably wasn't thinking about anything important. I think it had something to do with Semyl? Eh."

[Tails]

Tails declared. "Hold on, I need to check my outpost."

He walked toward the side of his workshop and climbed up his outpost. Once he got up there, he scanned where the edge of the forest might be. However, since Tails was responsible for guarding this forest from evil-doers he knew the edge of the forest was very close by.

He slid down the ladder and returned. He pointed straight ahead. "The edge of the forest is about five miles that way." He sighed. "I'm a protector of Mobius and this forest, Robotnik doesn't know where I am. But neither does Sonic or Knuckles or Amy Rose. Those three could be anywhere, but I'm fine on my own. But lately, I don't know.

"Vanessa, you lead the way. Semyl, I don't know if I can make it by myself, so could you hold my hand?"

(Tancer, if you want to jump to the edge of the forest, you can. If you want us to take our time, you can do that too.)

[Tancer Fang]

Vanessa curled her lips into a broad smile, removing her hood from her waist and putting it back on. "All right we just have to go that way! Try and keep up!" She took Skyes hand and began running, tugging him along. She dragged him only a few meters before he stopped her. The blue cat was running off in the completely wrong direction. "Ohhhh it's that way, My bad." She said giving a nervous laugh.
Now with the right direction in mind, She took off again, this time she wouldn't allow Skyes to apply the brakes no matter what. "Adventure to the edge of the Forrest to kick the World rip's ass! YEAH!"
ADD coupled with a drop of the hat excitability would make for an interesting trip to say the least.

[Skyes Lowell]

"Hey, Skyes, aren't you concerned about gettin' lost- oh, he'll figure it out." Semyl muttered. "Well, kiddo, looks like it's just us. What's the deal with the tails? Just outta curiosity." she asked him, taking his hand in hers.

-----
"W-w-w-woooooah, Vanessa! Watch out! Branch- *thwap* -Oooooowwww"

Vanessa had him struggling to keep up- for every branch she could zip under, Skyes was firmly whacked, due to his height. "Wait, wait up! What if this world rip isn't even a person?? It could be like a.... bean, or something." he said, trotting alongside.

[Tails]

As Tails walked with Semyl at his side, he knew he would have to answer her question. And considering who he was, he knew he wouldn't lie to her either.

Tails explained. "My father had two tails, so it was possible that I would get two tails. My dad can't go as fast as I can, but he can still move. You have to pretty much go very fast to keep up with my big brother. And with these two tails, it's pretty easy to keep up with him. I can also fly in the air for a short time. I'm just looney tuney when it comes to my running and flying.

"it reminds me of some pretty interesting things I keep in my workshop that I usually make sure are pretty safe from evil doers. It just makes me jump for joy."

Tails laughs out loud. "Is this fun? This is fun for me. Just talking to you is just so much fun. My big brother usually gets annoyed by all my talking, but I think he's one of those people that just wants to go super fast and is always in a hurry. Maybe one day I'll be like him and will be able to take care of myself, but I still rely on him for emotional support and for guidance. Oh, and to finish off your question, My nickname is also Tails because of my two bushy tails. My big brother says they help me save the world.

Tails sighs. "I just haven't seen him in awhile, because of the world rip. I feel lost without him. And now I should stop before I get ahead of you."

[Tancer Fang]

Vanessa stopped dead in her tracks, turning to face Skyes with a scowl on her face. It seemed something he said really got under her skin. She pointed a finger at the dog, looking as if she was about to punch him at first. "Are you saying I can't kick a bean's ass?" She huffed, stomping her foot. The hair on her tail was extended out of anger making it look fat. "There isn't a single bean that can beat me? Who would lose to a bean!"
