"Sonic! Help!" Tails yelled. Robotnik was up to his old tricks again. Tails was trapped in a giant robotic hand. As much as he tried, the poor fox could not break free.
"Shut your trap you little freak!" Robotnik quickly snapped back. "Now tell me where your chaos emerald is, or I will crush you like a toothpick..."
Tails thought to himself, 'How does Robotnik know my plane is powered by a chaos emerald? It doesn't matter now anyway. Come on Tails! Think! Think!' After some deep thought, the witty fox answered him.
"How am I supposed to shut my trap and tell you at the same time, Egghead?" He stuck his tongue at him. Robotnik's head was bright red and looked like it was going to explode in anger.
"You think you're so smart, huh? Well let's see what you have to say to this! Hahahahaha!" The evil genius turned a knob, which closed the robot's hand a little more, squeezing Tails inside of it.
"Ahhh! It hurts! Soni-Ahhh! Help me!" The hurting kitzune screamed. His chest was being crushed under the pressure and it became increasingly hard for the little guy to breathe. Tails started to daze off, even though he was trying his hardest to stay awake. He continually said to himself, 'Sonic will be here. He always comes in time.' Tails was going to call Sonic one last time. He took the deepest breath he could manage and screamed, "Sonic! Help me!" With that, he fell unconscious.
"That stubborn little rodent." Robotnik growled. "I guess I'll have to dispose of him and find the emerald myself. It is a pity that I must kill something as smart as me, but is must be done."
With that said the robot threw Tails on the ground and made a fist. The fist came up and then was thrown down toward the unaware fox. Before it hit the ground, a blue blur flew by, picked Tails up, and brought him to safety. The clueless Robotnik thought he had killed Tails, but was alarmed when there was nothing on the ground.
"WHAT!? Where is he!?" Robotnik yelled. He heard a whistle behind him. When he turned around, the blue hedgehog he hated so much was standing there with Tails in his arms. Sonic looked at Tails with sadness in his eyes and shook his head.
"Robotnik, this is a new low for you. For God's sake you're trying to kill a 12 year old kid!" Sonic said as he laid Tails down. "You'll pay for this Robotnik." He had a stern, yet calm tone in his voice. He ran toward Robotnik.
Meanwhile, Amy was walking over to Tails' house with a little bit of concern. Tails had called her to come over earlier. She was very happy that Tails would be so kind to ask, since they haven't seen each other in awhile. When she said goodbye, Tails didn't say anything. In fact, he didn't even hang up the phone. All Amy could hear was a very faint sound in the background. Now she was on her way, almost rushing to Tails' house. She thought to herself, "I hope he's O.K..."
Back at Tails' house, the little fox was finally coming to. He shook his head and looked around. "Whe-Where am I?" Then, he saw him. The greatest hero ever, his idol, Sonic the Hedgehog. Tails had a huge smile on his face. "I knew you would come for me Sonic..." he said with a sigh and laid back down. Just then, he heard a familiar voice far away.
"Tails! Are you there?" The voice started to get louder. "Tails!"
"A-Amy...I'm over here..." Tails said as he tried to stand up, but failed only to fall back down. Amy knelt down and hugged him. She looked really worried.
"Are you O.K.?" She asked. Tails rubbed his head. "I feel a little light-headed, but I'll be O.K.." Amy smiled and sighed with relief. Tails looked behind him and saw Sonic fighting.
"You've better get out of here before Robotnik sees you. I don't want you to get hurt." Tails said. Amy just looked at him.
"You know me better than that silly. I'm not leaving. After Sonic's done, we can all chat and catch up on things, O.K.?"
Tails smiled and looked into Amy's eyes. He started to feel butterflies in his stomach. "Wow. Her eyes look so beautiful" He thought. "Wait! What am I thinking! This is Amy I'm talking about here! We're just friends!" Amy was looking at Tails and he seemed to be in another world.
"Hello! Tails are you there?" Amy said while snapping in front of his face. Tails was startled.
"Huh!? Oh, sorry Amy. I guess I'm a little more light-headed than I thought. What were you saying?"
"I was saying that we could all chat and catch up on things." Just then, Robotnik had tried to make a grab for Amy, but failed, only to hit her with a gigantic robotic fist. The punch left her unconscious.
"Amy!" Tails yelled. He looked at her head, making sure nothing serious had happened . Luckily, it wasn't bleeding. "Good, no serious damage." Tails thought. Sonic overheard Tails yelling and looked over. He was not happy with what he saw.
"How many people must you hurt Robotnik!?" Sonic spin-dashed at lightning speed towards Robotnik and blew up his robot with an incredible impact. Robotnik was caught in the explosion and was thrown a least 1000 feet away. "Serves you right..." Sonic said in disgust. He ran over to Tails.
"Is Amy alright?" Sonic asked.
Tails replied, "Yeah. She's gunna be fine. I'm gunna grab some bandages and an ice pack, O.K.?"
"Alrighty bro. I'll keep her company."
Tails went inside. His house was filled with gizmos and other things. "I need to tidy up sometime. My house is such a mess." He laughed. He grabbed an ice pack and some bandages and went back outside. When he looked over at Amy, he was in complete shock. Not only was Amy awake, but she was kissing Sonic! Tails couldn't speak. Sonic noticed Tails' face and broke the kiss. He walked over to him.
"Sorry to frighten ya bro. I guess I should have told you. Amy and I are dating." He said, rubbing the back of his head. "Uhh...yeah...when did this happen?"
Sonic just kind of let out an embarrassed laugh.
"Could I speak to you alone Sonic?" Tails asked. Sonic looked over at Amy and she nodded.
"Okay bud." They started to walk away from Amy. "I already know what you're gunna say, but let it out."
"Sonic, how long has this been going on, and why didn't you tell me?" Tails asked. Sonic sighed. He didn't know what to say.
"Well...we've only been going out for a couple of weeks now...and...I don't know how to put this..." Sonic stuttered. Tails crossed his arms and listened. "You know Tails...I didn't tell ya because...well...I thought you would be...a little jealous..."
This shocked Tails for the second time today. "Why would I be jealous? Amy and I are just friends."
"Well...you're older now and you're probably thinking about girls more."
Then it hit him. That's why he was thinking about Amy before when he was looking into her eyes. Sonic was right about that.
"Maybe you're right Sonic, but I KNOW I would never be jealous about Amy. Why would you even think that?"
"I don't know...just forget I said it."
"You're not getting off that easy this time. Why wouldn't you trust me? I thought we-"
"Tails! Look out!" Sonic stuck his arm out in front of Tails. He wasn't paying attention to where he was going and he almost walked off the edge of his runway into the ocean!
"Wow! Thanks Sonic. I guess I wasn't paying attention to where I was walking. Now, back to what I was talking about." Tails started.
"Tails, could you please give me a break? We all make mistakes sometime or another."
While they were talking, Robotnik was sneaking around. "Haha...and you've just made another mistake hedgehog."
Tailed smiled. "You're right Sonic. I guess I was a bit too-"
"Shhhhh! You hear that Tails?" Sonic said. His ears twitched.
"Hear what Sonic? I don't hear anything."
Sonic walked along the edge of the runway. "I hear a beeping sound, and it's getting faster. Kind of like a..." They looked at each other in horror.
"A BOMB!" They both yelled. And with that, the bomb went off. Tails was lucky enough to be blasted away from the edge of the runway, but Sonic wasn't so lucky. He fell off the edge, and was unconsciously plummeting to the ocean, and most likely his death.
Tails shook his head. "...Sonic? Sonic!" He gasped. The brave, little fox jumped off the runway and used his tails as a propeller to catch up to Sonic. Amy saw all of this from far away in shock.
"Oh my god...Tails...please catch him..." She whispered to herself.
Tails saw Sonic in sight. He reached his arm out to grab Sonic, and Sonic reached out his. After much effort, Tails managed to grab Sonic's hand.
"I gotcha!" Tails said, but Sonic's glove slipped off. So he tried again. Their fingers were about to touch, but Tails ran out of luck. Another bomb set in the cliff exploded and threw Tails off course. His body smashed against a rock at the bottom of the ledge, his arm taking all the damage, and he fell into the water.
"I failed you Sonic..." He said with tears starting up in his eyes. He searched around for Sonic, but saw nothing, but his glove floating in the water.
"T-This...this...this...this!" Tails couldn't finish the sentence. "This is all that's left of him!?"
Amy awaited their arrival back, walking back and forth nervously. Finally, she saw Tails fly over the edge of the cliff, with his back turned to her. She rushed towards him and saw the gash on his arm.
"T-Tails! What happened!? Where's Sonic!?" She turned him around, and saw Tails' face. I just showed no emotion at all. He just handed her Sonic's glove. Before anything else happened, Tails hugged her. That's when she knew what happened and broke out crying. Tails didn't know what to do. She probably wouldn't stop crying for a long time.
"Amy...it's all right...O.K. maybe it isn't...but...we have to look at the bright side." Tails said, trying his hardest to comfort her.
"What bright side!? Sonic's gone! That's all there is to it!" Amy screamed.
"Well...I'm still here." Tails started. "And if I wasn't, you'll be alone to take this in." He began. "I...I really hate to see you like this Amy, so please just stop crying." He rubbed her back. All of this talk wasn't working. Amy couldn't control herself. She probably couldn't stop crying herself if she truly tried. 'Only one thing left to try and I don't think she will take it very well...' Tails thought to himself. 'Here it goes...'
Tails put his lips up to Amy's, and kissed her. Her arms dropped, and her crying immediately stopped. Tails pulled back and his face was red. Amy was in shock and she didn't say anything. It was completely silent for several minutes. Tails finally broke the silence.
"Well..." He gulped. "Do you fell any better?" Amy still didn't say anything. She stood there in disbelief. Tails felt a little worried now.
'Now look what you've done you idiot! Tails thought to himself. 'That was the wrong move...'
