Tails stood in the shadow of a ruined castle with beige-grey walls and many dark-blue spires. The castle held a captive princess.
Between the two stood a green dragon, with steam rising from its nostrils.
Tails charged ahead, a sword in his righthand and a shield in his right. His tails twirled behind like a propeller.
The monster let loose a stream of fire atthe armored fox. It had all the force of a fire hose.
It seemed to push Tails backwards, but theboy was able to slip under and roll toward its legs. He dropped his swordduring the roll. Thinking quickly, he drew the dagger from his belt and jammed it into the beast’s gizzard.
The monster let out a loud shriek.
Tails rushed backward and grabbed his sword. While the dragon was still off guard, the young knight made a wild dash at the creature’s belly. The blade went straight into it.
The dragon’s hide was thick, but Tails pushed it in with all his might.
Finally, the monster fell.
All that was left was for the young knight to save the princess.
It wasn’t much of a chore for Tails to navigate the castle. He soon got to the princess’ room near the top of the complex. “Princess Mariposa! I’m Tails and I’m here to rescue you!”
The princess was a fox, like her rescuer, but had orange fur rather than yellow. She was also about twice Tails’ age. “I saw your great feat from here. Thank you.” She kissed him on the cheek.
Tails couldn’t help but blush.
Mariposa sniffed. “Tell me,” she said, with a warm smile “does my brave knight require a diaper change?”
Tails froze. Looking down, he noticed that the bottom half of his suit was gone… and his diaper was completely in view. Did it fall off in the middle of the fight? Was he wearing it out in the open all this time and didn’t notice?
The princess giggled. “Don’t worry,” she told him. She opened a cupboard, revealing wipes, powder, and a bag of baby diapers. “I can change you!”
No… NO!!
Tails snapped awake. Princess Mariposa and the castle were gone; replaced by his and Sonic’s bedroom. It was still dark.
“Let me guess,” Tails whispered, “number two.”
He descended from his bunk and turned on the lamp at his desk. Sonic was such a heavy sleeper that the light didn’t bother him.
Tails dropped his pajama pants and patted the bottom of his diaper. Sure enough, it was the same aftermath of his first dream. He couldn’t help but groan.
He grabbed a clean one out of the package and left the room. It seemed that Vanilla didn’t have the foresight that her son would have woken up in the middle of the night to get a change.
Tails approached the bathroom; the sink sounded like it was running, but soon stopped. He knew his mother had to be in there, since Sonic was asleep in bed. He thought it would be best to wait until Vanilla was out of the bathroom and back in bed to avoid any more embarrassment.
But before he could even turn around, Vanilla opened the bathroom door.
“Miles,” she said “what are you doing up so early?” She took a good look at the boy. He had his shirt on, but his pajama pants had been discarded. The diaper he’d been put in was obvious to anyone with eyes.
Tails started to get nervous, and quickly tried to hide his messy diaper from his mother by pulling the back of his shirt down over it. “M-Mom…I was just…Uh..”
“Miles, did you wake up to get a change?” she asked.
“No!” Tails was trying to lie about his change. He knew if he were to say yes, Vanilla would be the one to change him.
Vanilla didn’t buy it; his face and weird behavior was giving it away. “Miles, tell the truth.”
Tails sighed. He knew he could tell by the look in his Mom’s eyes that he wasn’t going to win no matter what he were to say. “Yes…”
Vanilla sighed. He was going to his sister’s room to get wipes and powder. He was too proud to admit it. She even eyed the unused diaper he’d brought with him.
Tails blushed and looked down at his feet.
“I’ll be right back,” she said. Vanilla quietly went to Cream’s room to get the wipes and baby powder.
It didn’t take long for her to return. She took Tails by the hand and led him into the bathroom.
Getting ready, she opened the diaper to reveal a pretty sizable mess. “Well, this wouldn’t have waited until morning,” she admitted.
Tails groaned and covered his face.
Vanilla felt bad. “I’m sorry about all this, Miles, but this is why you’re wearing them.” She slipped the poopy diaper off and began to wipe.
“I wish I knew why this keeps happening to me.”
Vanilla dropped the used wipe into the toilet. “Was it a bad dream? I’d thought you easing back on your work would help a bit.”
“I have, but this wasn’t a bad dream. It was a good dream, But then it turned into something else…”
Vanilla slipped the new diaper under her son. “What happened?”
Tails sighed. “Well I was a Knight, saving a princess from a dragon. I slayed it and saved the princess… however, when i got to the princess, something… odd happened.”
“Go on,” said Vanilla, applying the powder.
“When I got to the princess…she asked me if I needed a change. So I looked down and saw that I was wearing a diaper and I messed it.” Tails covered his face with his hands again. “It was so embarrassing, She even treated me like a baby!”
Vanilla fastened the new diaper on the boy. “So if you have an accident in a dream you have one in real life?”
Tails nodded. “It seems so. It happened all the other times too.”
“Do you not like getting your diaper changed?” Vanilla asked.
“To be honest, Mom, it’s really, really embarrassing.”
“But son, you don’t have to feel bad because I’m doing it,” she said. “But if you want to change yourself, I can let you do it from now on.” She gave her son a hug.
Tails was still quite abashed.
“We’ll have to get you some wipes and powder for yourself then,” she said. “Good night, Miles. I’ll see you in the morning.”
Tails went back to bed, leaving his mother with a stinky diaper to take care of.
Thankfully, Tails didn’t have another dream where he’d wind up in need of another change. He learned this when he got up and to change out of his PJs.
He gave a good look at his diaper: as babyish as it looked, he tried to look on the bright side. At least they felt good.
I wonder what a day in these would be like, Tails thought. I’ll try them out.
He wouldn’t use them, he’s just wear them.
No underwear for him today.

Tails had been watching TV for the last couple hours, but no matter how much he tried to pay attention to what was on screen, the thought of his mother changing him was still pestering his mind. “Uh, why am I still thinking about that?” he groaned “I knew I shoulda told her to let me do it, but still…”
Sonic came in and sat next to his brother. The hedgehog could see how troubled the fox was; the fact that he was given the same baby diapers that their sister uses (only upsized) wasn’t something he was proud of. He didn’t need to say anything.
Tails hardly noticed his brother sitting next to him and jumped a bit once he noticed him after a few minutes of silence. “S-Sonic, how long have you been sitting there?” His heart was beating a little quickly, he hoped Sonic wouldn’t think any less of him after all of the recent, ‘events’.
"I just got here,“ the older boy explained. "Listen, I know you wet your pants again last night.” There was no use in beating around the bush. He had to say it sooner or later.
Tails blushed a bit and twiddled his thumbs as he looked down at his feet. “Y-yeah, you probably think I’m just a big baby now, don’t you?”
"Listen, dude,“ Sonic said, trying to comfort him "you’re not a baby. You just need to wear diapers to bed. You aren’t going to sleep in the crib with Cream or stuff like that.”
Tails looked up at his older brother and smiled a bit. "I-I guess you’re right. It’s just, I feel so humiliated having to wear those things. And those stupid dreams haven’t been helping either.“ He said the last part a little softer and under his breath.
"Dreams?” Sonic inquired. “What kinds of dreams?”
"Oh, uh, they’re nothing really. It just seems like an odd coincidence that every time I have a dream like that, then I wake up and, well you know the rest.“ He blushed a bit again.
"What? Like you have a peeing accident in the dream or something?” Sonic asked.
"Well, kinda like that. It’s almost like they’re more like memories than dreams really. All the times it’s happened I was pretty little, maybe when I was about 3 or so. One was when I was potty training and another was when I was with Mom in some kinda store,“ Tails recalled.
This was weird. Perhaps that present Tails tried to hide was from his potty flashback and that dream with their mother was from one wetting… but Tails had peed in his sleep three times: last night and during a nap yesterday. "Was there a third dream?” Sonic asked.
Tails tried to think back. “I, can’t really remember a third dream. There wasn’t really a dream when I was taking that nap yesterday. I guess I was just really worn out. I just can’t figure out why I’ve been having those dreams, it just doesn’t make sense.” He sighed and shook his head. "I don’t know Sonic, it’s just so stressful.“
Dr. Eggman was upset because of Sonic’s latest victory over him. In fact, he was so upset that he got out several toys of him, Sonic, and Tails and made up a battle with them (plus a generic robot doll to stand in for his new invention). The "fight” was as one-sided as you’d expect: “Sonic” going down like a wuss and “Tails” mourning over his fallen friend, only to have the robot punch him in the face and kill him as well.
Crabmeat sighed. “Sonic handed your head to you on a platter again, huh?”
This voice snapped Eggman out of the moment. “H-How do you figure?”
"Sir, you have your toys out,“ said the robot "You always have a mock battle with your toys when Sonic beats you decisively.”
"How did he do it?“ the doctor moaned "Was the plastic too low in quality?”
“Have you tried revamping Great Bane Motora Gold?”
Eggman glared at the little robot. “With what? A hammer? A buzzsaw? It’s a stupid idea…”
“Well I tried,” sighed Crabmeat.
The doctor twirled his mustache a little. “I need something good. But what?”
“Well, I’ve got a movie coming on in a few minutes,” said the robot. “Want to come watch it with me?”
“Movie?” said Eggman.
“Dr. Kassab and the Slime Monsters From the Bottom of the Sea,” the robot told him.
The scientist had no ideas right now. He’d have to take a break. “Oh well. I’ll watch it with you.”
The Sonic Museum wasn’t as big as one might expect, but for a relatively new one it was decent. It had several exhibits on Sonic and Tails’ past adventures and even had the original Sea Fox on display!
Just recently, the museum got two more things to display: a chrome Sonic robot and a large, blue worm mecha.
Normally, Sonic found places like this boring. Cream wanted to see the robots he and Tails beat up, so they all went down to see it.
Even if she weren’t sitting in her stroller, the large modified Caterkiller would have still towered over the six-year-old toddler. Fortunately, she’s dealt with active robots in the past alongside her friends.
Upon pressing a button, the speaker describe the exhibit. “DANGEROUS BALL TOWER. Originally created by Dr. Eggman during a failed attempt to take over our country, it was defeated by Sonic and Tails. It was later rebuilt by the mad doctor and sent to attack Station Square only to be defeated by the duo again.”
Vanilla pushed Cream up close to the exhibit to get a good look. "Oh my, you boys certainly are impressive! You really did a number on Eggman this time.“
"You know, Mom,” said Sonic “with all the E-Series 'bots and other stuff Tubbo’s tried to use against us, it’s a wonder people haven’t almost forgotten these pieces of junk. Not that they were worth remembering!”
Tails snickered a bit. "Yeah, he hasn’t really been giving us much of a challenge lately.“
"I’ll say, these things look like they would fall apart even if they weren’t already in pieces.” Sarah said as she looked closely at them.
It was at that point they noticed that Amy and her mother had come there. “Amy! Ms. Sarah! Hello!” Tails greeted.
Vanilla turned around as Sarah walked up to the exhibit. "Hey there Sarah, I didn’t expect to see you and Amy here.“
Sarah smiled back at her. "Amy heard that they were showcasing this exhibit today and insisted that we go. Good thing we did, cause we got to see the heroes in the flesh!”
"What’s the big deal?“ Sonic laughed. "You don’t live that far away from us. You can see us whenever!”
Sarah laughed along with him. "Haha, very true, Sonic! But you know how much Amy admires you.“
"Yeah, I noticed,” the boy admitted, somewhat awkwardly.
"No hunk of junk Eggman builds can stand up to my Sonic!“ said Amy.
"Well, Egghead DID try a pretty weak attempt last night,” Sonic recalled.
Tails chuckled at Sonic and Amy. "Yeah, it’s like he isn’t even trying anymore. Those things were real pieces of junk!“
"What happened?” asked Amy.
"Well, after Mom sent me to get diapers for…“ Sonic stopped for a second. Tails was NOT happy about his recent issues about keeping his pants clean when he’s sleeping. Spilling the beans would be devastating. ”…Cream and Eggman sent out a bunch of super-sized action figures!“
Tails’ ears twitched and sweated a bit as Sonic explained. "Y-yeah! They looked pretty serious, but they were so cheap that a piece of paper could have trashed em.” He let out a slightly nervous laugh.
Vanilla noticed Tails’ reaction and cleared her throat a bit. "Anyways, I’m just glad that he hasn’t been making you boys work too hard anymore. Tails has been falling behind on his sleep recently.“
"Yeah,” said Sonic. “We’re thinking of heading over to the cafe for a little supper. Want to come with and we’ll chat there?”
"That sounds good to me.“ Sarah smiled. "I am getting pretty hungry.”
Sonic smiled. “Then it’s a plan.”
"Good, how hungry are all of you?“ Vanilla asked them all, as they approached the eatery.
"Foot-long chili dog with the works,” said Sonic. “That’s my summary.”
Tails licked his lips. "Mmm, me too!“
"I’ll get whatever you’re getting Mom,” said Amy. “Place if for me. I need to use the bathroom.” With that, Amy broke away from the group.
"Sure thing, sweetie. I’ll probably just get a simple sandwhich myself.“
Amy went into the girls’ bathroom at the cafe. She checked under the stalls to see if any were empty. Three out of the four were. She occupied the empty fourth.
As soon as she sat down, there came the pitter-patter of small feet.
A small girl was scampering up to Amy’s stall. Amy was only part way through her business when the kid peeked under the door to her stall and then walked away.
Upon exiting the stall, Amy made for the sinks. A small, relieved sigh came from near the bathroom door. The child who had peeked had pulled the door opened and left.
Amy watched as the door shut slowly and shrugged.
Sarah waited for Amy to come back before they sat down. "All better now?”
Amy nodded.
On one side of their booth, from the outside in, sat Vanilla, Cream (in a booster chair), and Sarah. On the other, Sonic, Tails, and Amy in the same order.
Vanilla poured Cream’s drink into a baby bottle for her. “There you go sweetie.” Vanilla smiled and handed the bottle to her.
"Carrie, what’s that smell?“ someone said. It was a good distance away.
Amy turned around to see that same little girl from the bathroom with a young man about Sonic’s age. The boy was peeking down the back of the child’s pants.
"Not again, and that was the last trainer, too!” he said, annoyed.
"Dey had all de potties, Wick,“ the child tried to explain. "It’s all dare fault!”
The boy groaned. “I’m getting you diapers now!”
The two left, the big brother dragging her away by the arm.
Amy blushed, but that conversation was just out of Cream and their mothers’ earshot.
"Jerkweed,“ said Sonic in contempt.
Tails had heard the conversation as well and was twiddling his thumbs as he blushed quite a bit. "Y-Yeah.”
"Tails, is something wrong?“ asked Amy.
"Huh? O-oh, I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.” He chuckled nervously as his heart raced.
"Are you sure?“ said Amy "You act like something’s bothering you.”
Tails briefly wondered about telling Amy. "Y-yeah.“ He glanced over at Sonic, his face still pretty red.
"Amy,” said Sonic “it’s kind of a personal thing for Tails. He doesn’t really want to talk about it. It’s a family subject.”
Tails looked down at his feet, trying to hide the blush on his face.
"Don’t worry, dude,“ Sonic whispered. "I won’t tell her about your diapers.”
Tails smiled. "Thanks Sonic.“
