P.S. I dont own sonic or any others nor have I ever made money off of them yada yada yada

It was an average day in the mystic ruins as the Tornado 2 fires down the runway bound for station square. Tails had been planning this trip for months but never had the time for it, that being a trip to Randy's Automobile/Aviation shop where a crucial piece for the fuselage of his newest plane awaited him.

Upon arriving at the square, Tails engaged the thrusters and brought his plane down onto a landing strip designed especially for his air crafts courtesy of the city council as part of a thank you for his and the rest of the Sonic teams heroics.

Walking down the busy street, Tails makes his way towards Randy's as several people stop to shake his hand and admirers ask for his autograph. Finally making it to the front of the store, Tails enters and is greeted by a burly bear of a man with a laugh as bass as thunder.

"MILES PROWER! I thought I would never see you come in! how has my favorite mechanic been these past weeks?"

Smiling as he rubs the back of his neck Tails pulls the part number from his shirt pocket.

"I'm good Mr. Bowen, I was in the neighborhood and decided to come by and see if you had a part in, its for the fuselage of my new plane."

Slapping his hands together Randy's smile grows broader as he grabs a pencil and paper and signals to Tails that he's ready.

"The part number is 0274-JR-3572AV I'll need the wax seal and the titanium plating as well."

Studying the number and checking his books, Randy pointed towards the back end of the store as he stated,

"Head on down to the back and hang a right at the carbon fittings, take the stairs down and turn right and keep going till you find the fiberglass fuselage models (Don't touch), it will be the second isle down from them, OH! And if you pass the model 77 turbo thrusters you've gone too far."

As Tails nodded his thanks and made his way towards the back, he made a mental note to bring a pad and pencil next time he needed to get directions from Randy.

After making his way to the back and also making several wrong turns, Tails finally finds the isle with the part he needs. Quickly picking it up and studying it he mentally celebrates as he places it into a satchel and turned to leave when at that moment he felt a light tap on his shoulder. Turning to face the individual, Tails comes face to face with a female hedgehog with greased up coveralls and a bandana tying back her hair.

"I'm sorry to bother you but I was wondering if I could ask a question, you see, I am getting the same part for a model 7A fighter and, well I don't know if you would know but would you have any idea about using a galvanized coiling rather than metallic wafers?"

Taking a deep breath Tails lets loose on his knowledge of planes.

"Well you first have to take into thought the type of zinc you would want to use, while galvanized coating would be better to avoid corrosion and such it can also add unneeded wear to other parts, there are cons but I would say that with a fighter class plane any and all parts of the fuselage would be better equipped for it."

As the female hedgehog stood there taking in everything Tails had just said, Tails started rubbing the back of his neck as he just realized how much of a nerd he really was.

"I'm sorry, I tend to ramble like that sometimes, I mean sometimes even Sonic gets annoyed heh heh…"

Upon hearing this the girls ears perk up as she responds.

"Wait, you know Sonic the hedgehog? Then, are you his friend Tails the twin tailed Kitsune?"

Tails began to chuckle as the red began to show through the fur on his muzzle.

"Heh heh, well yeah, I'm his sidekick, but I'm far from a Kitsune heh, I'm just a regular fox with a birth defect…"

Seeing that Tails was now uncomfortable with talking about himself she quickly retaliates.

"Well I think their awesome! I mean your TAILS PROWER A boy genius! and not only that, you have twin tails! that's something that only you have and its something you can be proud of, its not a defect it's a blessing cause you can fly with them! How awesome is that?"

Perking up from hearing this, Tails raises his gaze to hers.

"You think their a blessing? gee, I guess I never thought of them that way before… heh heh I guess your right Ms… I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name."

Shock and awe mix as the girl puts her hands to her mouth as she allows a gasp to escape.

"Oh I'm sorry Tails, in all the conversation I haven't even mentioned my name, I'm Amanda, Amanda Rose.". As soon as she said this Tails ears perked up as a curious look spread over his face and he began to scrutinized her facial features.

"She does sorta look like her, but Amy never mentioned having a sister, well I guess it wont hurt to ask."

"Your not by chance related to an Amy rose, are you Amanda?" Clearly not expecting this question, Amanda lowers her voice as she slowly answers.

"Yes, she's… my sister, although she probably never told you about me… we had a falling out several years ago over our parents divorce, she hasn't spoken to me since."

As Tails listens he detects a hint of regret in her voice, adding to that he also notices her eyes starting to water.

"I'm sorry Amanda, I hadn't intended to touch a nerve." Amanda waved him off as she sighed.

"No its OK, I don't blame her for hating me, I was a horrid person back then…I wanted things my way and would do anything from lying to stealing to get what I wanted. My father always defended me saying that I was young and would grow out of it or it was someone else I was too innocent to even act that way. I milked it for everything I could before it eventually led to he and moms divorce.

He wouldn't see past my lies and mom knew better, seeing that she couldn't control me nor convince dad, she took Amy and left."

Tails and Amanda had walked over to a bench that was on display for sale as they talked, Tails becoming more and more interested in the story simply nodded and listened.

"Eventually custody came up and it was agreed that Amy would go with mom and I would stay with dad, they grew to hate each other and… I guess that hate grew on Amy."

"What changed you?" Tails asked. "I can tell for a fact that your not the same person that you once were." Amanda's frown turned into a weak grin as she raised her head and looked at Tails.

"Life happened. I fell into a bad group at school and I got involved in fight groups and such, I was top dog for a while heh, but that changed when I found out that my so called friends were just using me… I felt awful, it began to sink in then. All the people that I have used, that I have hurt just to get what I wanted. I never cared because I didn't know how bad it felt.

Dad always shielded me from consequence. And when he wasn't there I had to put up or shut up, and it got to where there were bigger people than me and they made sure I knew that several times."

"So you realized how others felt when you used them, what happened then?" asked the ever so curious kit.

"I ran away from my problems, daddy and I moved and I changed schools. I decided that I would start over, my life my rules, yeah I decided not to use anyone but I wasn't too ready to let go of me yet. Till one day I bit off more than I could chew, I had a boyfriend who was always at my side backing me up in fights and such, one night he decided that he wanted some payback… being raised in the south I was brought up with some morals even though most were washed away by my selfishness my innocence was mine. I wasn't ready to give it up."

At this Tails began to get angry, he had always hated people who treated women bad but those he hated more were rapists, and he could tell where this story was heading.

"I told him no several times and he forced me into a back street where he tried to… do things, but before anything happened I heard several voices two of which were loud and very very bass and one was mild and soft. The two loud ones were warning my… boyfriend not to take even one more look at me lest he die, and the soft spoken one at the same time was ordering him off me and to leave before he called the cops.

When I came into the light there was only the soft spoken guy left, he seemed concerned about me and was trying to make sure I was ok. I assured him I was but I wanted to know where the two big guys went to. He acted as if he didn't know what I was talking about and it wasn't till a while later that I found out why. Anyways he helped my calm down and sat there with talking with me for what seemed like hours until my dad came by, apparently he knew Jacob (the guy who helped me) and just before dad herded me into the car Jacob asked where I went to youth at. I had no idea what he was talking about, so he gave me a card with a address and time and said that it was a place where I could get free pizza and make REAL friends. Well I was in at the word pizza, little did I know that the place I was going was a church, see I was never raised in a religious family, my parents were decent but they weren't religious."

Taking all of this in, Tails cant believe the life story he is hearing, how by chance someone such as this could be real, however the likelihood of her making it all up were slim to none given Tails had been reading her very carefully since the conversation began, still, he was interested and continued listening.

"I had seen churches before, on TV and such and they seemed so…dull, but this place was amazing, I mean everything from the snack bar to the arcade area, I was amazed and the people, I mean wow, they were so nice, I met up with Jacob and was nervous at first but then, next thing I know I was in a group and was actually calling them friends!

The next thing to happen was the service, I was like ok here comes the boringness and once again I was proven wrong. As soon as the doors to the worship hall opened a sound wave of awesome music hit me, the bands playing were amazing! And they didn't use language or anything to get their point across, this was the night that my life changed, I wanted this, It was what I was searching for my whole life the thing to fill the void I created… and it wasn't just some silly religion, it was relationship, a relationship with a real forever friend. I was asked by several of my new friends if I wanted to come down and pray at the altar, I couldn't say no, I wouldn't pass a chance up to have even a piece of what they had.

And well. The rest is history as some say, I am what you see now because of that one night."

As Tails sat there in deep thought it was his turn to take everything in.

"So the change in your life is that you made real friends and found your faith? that's cool Amanda, it looks as though it really worked well. Have you ever thought about trying to reunite with Amy now that you have made the change?"

Once again Amanda breaks eye contact and turns away, obviously this was yet another unknown subject that needs to be taken care of.

"I'm sorry Amanda, I shouldn't have pried its none of my business."

Waving him off, Amanda collects his thoughts and began to chuckle.

"Believe it or not I have, I contacted her and tried to reconcile however, she would have none of it. She simply said that I didn't change and that I just wanted something, and that it was funny how I found a god to go to and wipe my past clean… for the longest time after that I believed her and I fell away from what I believed. It wasn't until I finally decided that it didn't matter what others thought about me that I finally chose to embrace my faith and trust in Christ. Although I have not tried to speak to her since."

Thinking on this for a moment, Tails has an idea and began to grin.

"What if I talked to her, here me out Amanda, I talk to her, she listens to me and I think I could get her to at least talk to you."

"You know, normally I wouldn't like the idea, but something tells me that you could actually do it."

Mentally Tails fist pumps as he nods his approval and hands Amanda his business card.

"Look, I have to get back to my shop and get this fitted but this is my number and address anytime you are ever in need of parts info gimme a call ok Amanda? And I'll look into talking to your sister."

Amanda smiles and take the card as she replies.

"Thanks Tails, I'm really glad we met earlier I was planning on just coming in tomorrow but something kept nagging at me to come today, I guess I'm glad I did heh heh."

"Well Amanda, I'm glad you decided to come in too, oh before I forget… who were the other two big guys that protected you?" asked Tails in a curious tone.

"Oh that was just my security." Amanda chuckled as she replied and bid Tails her farewell before leaving.

Well Guys Whatcha think? If your interested then keep reading and reviewing and I will be a happy camper!
