It was a bright and sunny day on Southern Island. Tails was relaxing on beach lounge chair on Seagull Beach under the shade of a palm tree. He was wearing his usual gloves and sneakers, as well as a large pair of sunglasses.
At that moment, Marine came down to the beach. She was wearing a green two-piece bathing suit, green sandals and her usual light-tan gloves.
"Enjoying the warm sun, Tails?" she asked him, walking over to another beach lounge that had been placed right next to Tails', also under the shade of another palm tree.
"You bet, Marine," Tails answered her. "And let's not forget the relaxing sounds of the crashing waves."
"The perfect way to kick back and relax," Marine agreed, slipping her feet out of her sandals and relaxing herself on her beach lounge.
She closed her eyes before applying a pair of sunglasses to her face. She then just relaxed herself, lying on her beach lounge under the shade of a palm tree, wiggling her toes in the warm sun where it still hit.

A short while later, a feather that had been picked up and carried by the wind came by where Tails and Marine were relaxing and was brushed against Marine's sole as it floated by. Marine let out a giggle. Tails heard her and sat up to ask what was so 'funny'.
"Noting," she told him. "It felt like something just tickled me."
Tails looked down and noticed the feather lying on the beach near them since the wind that had carried it just dropped. He got up, picked up the feather and showed it to her.
"I didn't know you were ticklish, Marine," he told her.
"Are you kidding me?" Tickling was once my favourite game to play growing up with the Coconut Crew. We used to come up with all kinds of fun ways to tickle me," Marine said to Tails. "Hey, why don't you tickle me some more with that feather?"

"Are… you sure about that?" Tails asked her slowly.
"Come on, it'll be fun!" Marine answered him, lying herself back against her seat and raising one foot at the knees.
"Go on and tickle my foot!" she said, wiggling the toes of her raised foot.
Tails was still feeling a bit uneasy about the whole idea, but since Marine wanted to be tickled so badly he decided to go with it. So without saying anything he began to tickle the sole up and down with the feather. Marine began to giggle out loud, but soon the giggling grew louder. She even began to wiggle the toes of her tickled foot as well as those on her other foot that was flat on the seat.

After Tails had stopped tickling her (about a minute or two later), Marine sat up and asked him, "How about you, Tails? You like being tickled as well?"
"Sure," Tails answered her. "Go ahead and do it on me now."

And with that, Tails handed Marine the feather and then laid down on his beach bench in the position Marine was when he tickled her, with one leg bent with his foot flat on the seat and the other straight out flat. Marine then got up and walked over to where he lay.
"Hope you're ready for this," she told him, holding up the feather in front of him.
Tails just gave her a nod and supported his head with his hands. Marine took that as her signal and began to tickle him with feather on his white, furry belly.
"Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee!" Tails giggled aloud.
Marine giggled quietly to herself in amusement.
"Let's try somewhere else tickly," she said to Tails, before tickling him with the feather under his arm and along his side.
"Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee!" Tails giggled again.
"How 'bout on the knee?" Marine suggested.

And just like that, she moved the feather onto Tails' bending knee, which again made him giggle out loud like before.
"You know what?" Marine said to him a moment later. "I think we should try out something a little more fun. How about… tickling toes?!"
With that, Marine took hold of Tails' foot that was flat on the bench and removed his sneaker. Then she removed his sock, stuffed it into his shoe and then laid it down on the sand under the bench.
"That's one incredible foot you've got there," Marine admired Tails' bare foot.
"Especially these five cute little tootsies!" she added on as she fiddled with his big toe. Tails blushed.
"Simply perfect for tickling!" said Marine, picking up the feather again.
She then began to tickle along Tails' toes. Even though he kept his foot still, the rest of him began to wriggle and squirm.
"Heeheeheeheeheehee Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! ARGHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" he laughed.
