Hanging Out Again

Hope you enjoy this little sequel

Miles Tails Prower was fixing a light bulb in his workshop.

"Come on, I just need to put this wire with that wire, I need to stop thinking so much and concentrate, now be very careful..."

Tails carefully started putting the wires together, not hearing a knock on his door.

"Yo Tails, you in there?" Sonic was at the door knocking, but no one was answering, "Maybe he's not-" he then saw some flickering inside, so he checked the knob, it was loose, and he opened the door, "Tails you in there?"

Sonic walked around and saw Tails messing with a light bulb, it flickered a little.

"Come on, just the right snap into place and it will stay on, gotta be careful, one wrong move and-"

"Yo Tails!"

"What!?" Tails lost focus and shocked his hand and fell backward, "Aw crap!"

Sonic chuckled a bit when that happened, "Sorry buddy, didn't realize what you were doing"

Tails simply glared at Sonic a bit while tending to his hand, "What do you want Sonic?"

"I came by to check on you, you've been really busy lately, even more than usual"

Tails grabbed some burn ointment, "Yeah I'm worried, Eggman's been on the down low for a while, so I want to be ready in case he attacks us"

"You sure it's not paranoia?"

"Think Sonic, why would Eggman lay low so long? I think he's up to something, I'm just worried", Tails started applying the ointment.

"Will you relax little buddy? Why not go take a breath of fresh air, if Eggman shows up, I'll handle it"

"Sonic you're good but even you need help with Eggman once in a while, you're not the only one who fights him", Tails then put the ointment away, "Remember that"

"Either way, don't spend too much time in here, remember what you learned from hanging out with Amy",

"Speaking if which, how are things between you and Amy, I know you took her on that date"

"Yeah I did, and let me tell you it was a great decision"

Tails' eyes grew a little, "Really? You two hit it off?"

"No, but she DID say that she would back off if I dated her once, so now I'm free of her"

Tails then had a deadpanned look, "...When you dated her, did you even WANNA give her a chance or did you date her with the whole 'I'll be free from her' thing in mind?"

Sonic scratched the back of his head, "Well...mostly the second part"

The deadpanned look turned into anger, "Dammit Sonic, you didn't even give her a chance!"

"Hey I like Amy, she's just not my type"

"You don't know that, you're just being a little self-centered"

"You try dating her then"

"I did, that's how I found out she's not that bad"

"Then you be her boyfriend"

"I can't commit to being a boyfriend"

"And what makes you think I can?"

"Because you like flirting with girls"

"So, doesn't mean I'm a good boyfriend, just ask Sally, and I genuinely loved Sally"

Tails scoffed, "I doubt that, you flirted with a lot of girls when you were with Sally, even Fiona"

"Hey that Fiona thing was for your own good"

"Whatever, I can't believe you did that to Amy, you need to take this stuff seriously, she has feelings too!"

"Give me a break Tails, maybe someday I will give her an actual chance but she needs to grow up a little"

"She's not the only one" Tails muttered.

"What?"

"Never mind, I need to go"

"Where are you going?" Sonic asked.

"To Amy's, see ya"

Tails flew off leaving Sonic to wonder, "That kid, he's sure grown up in ways"

Later Tails reached Amy's house and knocked, "Amy, you in there?"

Amy opened the door and felt glee at the sight of Tails, "Tails, it's great to see you, what brings you here?"

"Just checking on you, I spoke with Sonic, apparently he's not interested in continuing to date you"

Amy leaned against her door in a drag sort of way, "Yes, unfortunately I'm not on his radar, and my word is my word so I won't pester the issue from him anymore"

"Sorry that this happened to you Amy"

"It's fine, at least I got a chance, I'm happy you came to see me though, that's really sweet of you", Amy then kissed Tails' forehead.

Tails blushed a little, "Uh thanks Amy, but listen, if you need someone to hang out with again, I'm here for you"

Amy then had a large smile on her face, "That's great to hear, I was gonna go spend a day with Cream doing some shopping and stuff, but maybe you can come along as well"

Tails sweated a bit, "Shopping? Uh that sounds like some girl stuff, maybe I shouldn't get in the middle of that"

"Oh don't be silly Tails, it's not 'girl stuff' it's 'hang out with friends stuff', you won't be out of place"

"I'm just not sure if as a guy I should be doing that, I don't mind doing other activities like movies or a game but"

"Don't be such a stereotype Tails, just because you're boy doesn't mean you can't enjoy a little shopping, besides we'll make room for the 'gender friendly' stuff"

"What if the other guys see me"

"Oh don't worry, you'll still be masculine in my eyes, in fact you can be proof that you can be masculine and enjoy a few feminine things, besides if anyone says something", Amy took her hammer out, I'll just introduce them to my hammer" she rubbed the top in an affectionate yet menacing way.

Tails sighed in defeat, "Ok Amy, I'll go if it makes you happy"

"It makes me SUPER happy", Amy leaned in to Tails for a whisper, "Besides think of it like this, you're hanging out with two pretty girls, that seems masculine right?"

Tails nodded, "Good point"

"Ok meet me and Cream at Station Square in about 2 hours, we're gonna have a blast together, bye Tails", Amy closed the door and left Tails to ponder.

"I hope I didn't get myself into something crazy, then again what's life without a little risk?" Tails then flew home to get ready.

There will be more to come, give a little feedback if you'd like
