A/N: Hey guys! Haven't updated my other stories because of writer's block and because I need more time to write them out. Luckily I found this story hidden in my files and I've decided to give it a go! OMG TAILS WA KAWAII DESU~! If anyone watches Sonic Boom then you'll recognize the scenario but I tweaked up the plot to adjust it to the regular Sonic verse that I love and prefer. And no, this story will not include any characters from Sonic Boom or anything related to Sonic Boom (except for the UT thing). Enjoy the story and tell me what you think by hitting that review button underneath the chapter! Thanks!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN SEGA/SONIC/TAILS/ANY OTHER THINGS HAVING TO DO WITH SEGA! I DO NOT MEAN TO STEAL OR COPYRIGHT ETC. ETC. ETC.

This makes no sense. It's obvious that I don't own SEGA or anything having to do with it

Be quiet UT! Nobody asked you to translate!

"Finally, I've finished it!" The young kitsune wipes his forehead while wearing a grin on his face. He takes a nearby remote controller and takes his invention outside for a test run. "I can't wait to show the others."

The day was beautiful with the clouds out of sight and the sun shining warmly. Amy had picked this day for a little picnic and lucky was she for the wonderful outcome of the weather.

Arriving at the field, the twin tailed fox lands on the grassy ground, observing his friends who were already gathered at the scene. To his surprise, he even spotted Shadow among the crowd. It must've been Rouge who insisted him to go. The black hedgehog wasn't one for friendly gatherings.

"Hey guys!" greets the kit as he runs towards his friends. They all wave to him and notice the device that followed behind him.

'Hey buddy! Is that a new machine of yours?" questions the blue hero.

"Yeah, I just finished him up a couple minutes ago. I call him the universal translator! Or U.T. for short." The mentioned device rolls forward, stopping by a bird who chirps at it.

"What is this thing", spoke a robotic voice. The sudden words causes the bird to chirp in alert and hop back. "What was that", spoke the robotic voice again. Not liking the talking robot, the bird decides to fly away. "It's best if I left it alone."

"Whoa! What just happened?" questions Charmy as he flies over to the invention.

"U.T. just translated what the bird said", explains Tails as the bumble bee looks at the machine in awe.

"Ohhh!" A series of beeping is heard and the machine begins to speak.

"What an amazing machine", spoke the robot voice. Charmy steps back with surprise.

"What?" he says with confusion.

"Why is it talking, I don't see any other birds", continued U.T.

The young kitsune walks over to the machine and looks at it in amazement. "Since what you said didn't specifically express what you meant, U.T. did the job to translate what you really meant to say!"

"I didn't intend for it to do that but I'll take the credit."

"Mm, that's great Tails", says Amy with not much interest. Her main interest is to get the picnic started and spend time with a certain hedgehog.

"Forget about the robot and focus on my picnic", says U.T. With this, Amy turns her attention to the robot.

"W-What? That's not what I said!" she exclaims in panic.

"Man, I am totally busted."

"Wait, so that thing translated Amy's words into what she was really thinking? Ha!" says the red echidna.

"Ha, sucks to be Amy." Amy looks over to Knuckles with an angry face.

"Enough Knuckles!" she shouts.

"Nobody asked for the knuckle head's opinion. No wonder Sonic finds you annoying." The echidna growled in anger as he turns to look at Amy and then Sonic.

"No need to get all worked up Knuckles. It's probably a glitch", sighs the hedgehog.

"I think I'll get a headache if they don't shut up."

"Sonic, how could you?" says a hurt Amy, with Cream and Cheese standing by to comfort her.

"Hm, nice going hedgehog", snorts Shadow who was enjoying the little show.

"How stupid for him to fall for the robot's trick after witnessing it himself."

Sonic glares over at Shadow, who shrugs without any care that the robot expressed what he truly meant to say. It did the work for him. "Like I care", says Shadow as he leans against a tree with his eyes closed.

"Yeah, don't expect me to care over mere little words coming from you", answers back the blue hedgehog.

"Whatever, I'm still faster and stronger than you anyway." The robot's comment seemed to pull Shadow's strings because he opened his eyes and gave Sonic a death glare. Sonic smirks and stands before him with an "I'm ready to beat you" stance.

Tails, on the other hand, became horrified with the sight of his friends. They all seemed to have found something to argue over and soon enough, the picnic had turned into a pool of arguments. Oh this is all my fault! I need to fix this before something else happens, thought the kit.

Flying up into the air to catch their attention, he cups his hands over his mouth. "Hey! Everyone!" They all look over to him like deer in front of head lights. "Umm… It looks like my machine malfunctioned. Some of the …. wires became loose so that's probably why it misinterpreted a few things. Sorry for the disturbance."

Everyone seemed to settle down with the explanation and stop their arguing. Amy moved to the front of the crowd and faced everyone, clearing her throat and straightening out her dress.

"Well, now that everything has been cleared up… let's start the picnic." After a few minutes of awkward talk and glances, everybody seemed to gain back their cheerful mood from before the whole U.T. situation.

The young kit moved to sit under a semi-isolated tree to check up on his invention. "Gee U.T. I didn't mean to ruin the picnic and have my friends argue. Maybe you do have a few loose wires or something."

"This is all my fault."

"If it's anyone's fault it's mine…." the twin tailed fox spoke until he realized that the robot had only translated his words. "Oh, you only translated what I said." He shut off the translator before it translated anything else. "I'll give you a few adjustments and hope that things will turn out better."

Meanwhile, Amy had pulled Sonic to sit with her and began to gush and chat away. Eventually, Sonic became bored and told her he was going to get something to drink. Taking the free time, he began to look around for his buddy. "Where could he have gone?" Twitching tails caught his eyes and he zoomed over to the tree. "Hey, why are you over here by yourself?"

"Sonic! Um… nothing really." The fox stood up and dusted himself before lifting up his device.

"Are you going to join the picnic? I could use some company."

"I thought you'd be with Amy by now given that she is quite fond of you."

"Yeah… I'm not so fond of that." Tails chuckled and shook his head before heading the same direction he came from. "Tails, the picnic is this way", said Sonic as gestured over to the crowd.

"I'm fully aware of that", responded the kit and gave a nod to Sonic before taking off.

"Sonic? Sonic?" called out the pink hedgehog. Looking around crazily, she sighs in relief after spotting him under the tree. "What are you doing here? You said you were going to get some punch." She noticed he stared off into the distance with concern. "Sonic?"

"What?" The blue hedgehog quickly cut out of his trance and looked to whoever was talking to him. "Oh, Amy. I was just… enjoying the nice day."

Not convinced by his answer, Amy looked around for a while until she realized a missing guest. After piecing the events, it all made sense to her but after recalling the whole situation, she felt a bit guilty. "Where's Tails?"

"Oh, he … um… said he had something to do. Don't worry about him, he'll be fine!" Sonic gave her a pat on the shoulder and walked over to his friends.

"Ho ho! Looks like Sonic's friends get worked up easily", laughed a certain evil genius as he observed his screen. He always had a sort of hidden camera around where he could see Sonic and watch his every move. "This gives me an idea." Dr. Eggman turned from the screen and headed toward his working place. After half an hour, he made a replica of Tails' robot. "Now, time to have some fun." The evil scientist then turned to his two robots, Orbot and Cubot. "You two, it's time to fulfill the command I explained earlier. Hopefully you both will carry it out successfully. I'm lucky enough to know if you even remember the orders."

The two robots nodded at him and made their way to a certain kitsune's workshop. "We must do everything correctly", said Orbot as they stood outside the door of the workshop. "And avoid upsetting Dr. Eggman. Are you ready?" Cubot moves to the side, revealing the replica of Tails' robot created by Eggman, holding a thumbs-up.

"Well, I hope this will fix the problem although I couldn't really find anything wrong before", said the kitsune as he finishes the last adjustments. "Hmm, I'm a bit hungry and I doubt there is any food left at the picnic. I'll just grab a quick bite." The young kit exits the room, leaving his device behind. The two spying robots take the opportunity to make their swap and leave with the original.

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

"Hey guys! I've fixed the problem", says Tails as he arrives back to the picnic. Luckily, everyone was still there.

"That's cool buddy but how about you get some dessert first? First serving for you", says Sonic as he waves to his buddy in return.

"Stupid fox thinks he fixed that machine."

"What?!" exclaims the hedgehog in complete surprise. "There is no way I was thinking about that!"

"Ha, he'll actually believe me too."

"Way to put somebody down Sonic", says Charmy as he shakes his head in disapproval.

"There must be a mistake. Sonic would never think that", defends Cream with Cheese supporting her.

"I bet that blue rodent thinks I'm backing him up. How absurd."

"Okay, there is no way Cream would ever think that", points out Amy.

"That stupid girl would never come up with something so clever."

"Amy?" says Cream with an upset tone in her voice.

"I never thought that!" yells an angered Amy. "Cream, do you really believe this stupid robot?"

"But Tails said he fixed that thing", replies Vector. "And his inventions have been successful, as far as I'm concerned."

"Well it's obvious it isn't fixed since there is no way I thought any of the 'translations'" says Amy with a sarcastic tone on the word "translations".

"So you're doubting his works?" comments Charmy.

"Nobody ever does anything perfect, as upsetting as it sounds. My belief will not change. All that robot does is cause trouble!"

"Hey, maybe it malfunctioned a bit on its way here", defends Sonic, not wanting to let Amy blame it all on Tails.

"Even Sonic agrees with me", misinterprets Amy.

"I didn't mean it in anyway against Tails", reassures Sonic.

It wasn't soon before everybody had started to argue again. Tails stood in the sidelines, tinkering with his robot before discovering that it wasn't his.

"Guys!" he calls out again, creating a déjà vu moment. "This isn't my robot! There's a huge speaker installed and I never installed one."

"What? Then whose is it?" asks Knuckles who was about to pummel Espio.

"It's…." The fox looks over the robot and recognizes a voice coming from the speaker.

"Eh? What happened?" Somehow, Dr. Eggman's voice was emitted through instead of a robot voice.

"Eggman!" everybody exclaimed.

"He has my robot!" Tails says, taking off but he realizes nobody follows behind. "Wh-What?"

"Listen Tails, we know you're great at inventing things but I think this robot may cause us unnecessary trouble", admits Amy. "It's best if you'd leave it. I'd rather tell you this sincerely rather than have the robot… translate my true feelings."

"I agree with Amy, sorry Tails", says Charmy. Everybody seemed to agree. Sonic begins to walk toward his friend.

"Don't take this the wrong way, buddy. We just… "

"No, there's no need for a further explanation, I get it. I'll just have to go on my own." And with that, Tails takes off towards his workshop.

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

"Well great, my cover was blown. I had further plans!" complains Eggman.

"And now, it appears that the fox will come back for his device", comments Orbot.

"Hmm… that gives me an idea." The mustached, evil genius smiles wickedly to himself and suddenly turns to look at his robots. "Orbot! Cubot! I have important tasks for you both!" The robots immediately straighten up at the mention of their names and listen attentively at their boss's orders. They scurry to have everything ready. Dr. Eggman sits in his chair and sighs. "What a surprise I have planned for that blue rodent and his friends, ho ho ho!"

"Tails!" Sonic begins to run after Tails but after his twin-tailed buddy lifted off into the air, it became evident that the fox refused to listen to anyone. The hedgehog stares off into the sky as the image of his friend became smaller and smaller until it was no longer visible. He turned to look at his friends who were all as anxious. They stare at each other for a long while, an uncomfortable silence overcoming all of them until the hedgehog frowns. "What are we doing here?"

The others blink in surprise. "What do you mean?" asks Charmy.

"There was supposed to be somebody who supported Tails. There was supposed to be somebody chasing after him!"

"Well, we'd expect that from you Sonic, you know, since you guys seem to be the best of friends", points out Vector.

"You may be right but that doesn't mean that none of you could have done it. Aren't we all friends?" Shadow snorts at the blue hedgehog's comment.

"I for one am not part of this little family."

"Don't be like that Shadow; Tails is out there by himself, facing Eggman. We're not sure what to expect from their encounter", says Rouge as she turns to the black hedgehog who simply turns his head away without any further comments.

"It's not like he can't handle himself!" says Charmy. "I bet Tails has awesome fighting skills!" Sonic's face relaxes and he nods at Charmy before looking off into the sky.

"Not that I doubt it but I have this feeling of uneasiness."
