Party (Tails x Zooey)

.
"Happy birthday!" Tails smiled in slight surprise as confetti rained down on him when he entered the room. And then he spotted the banner on the other side of the room, saying in bold bright letters 'Happy 10th birthday Tails!' and smiled even wider. Sonic and Zooey immediately came up to him – he could see all his other friends scattered throughout the room – and Sonic bumped fists with him, saying,
"Happy 10th, buddy!"
"Thanks!" said Tails cheerfully. -He wasn't about to admit that he had forgotten his own birthday.
"Happy birthday!" Said Zooey too, and Tails hugged her.
"Thanks, Zooey." She smiled at him, and then she dragged him over to a table. She put a plate in his hands, and proceeded to cover it with sweets. Amy and Sticks then strolled over to congratulate him, both of them bubbly and excited. Amy hugged him, while Sticks told him to 'watch out for the numpties', and then they both went away again, waving at him with their drinks.
Tails vaguely wondered if he should be concerned or not, about the contents of that beverage. Zooey then tugged at his arm, and he looked up, of course. Zooey smiled at him adorably, and then she held up a brownie. "Open your mouth!" she said, and Tails realised somewhat mortifyingly that she wanted to feed him that pastry.
Though as long as no one watched – he opened his mouth. She giggled, and proceeded to feed him three more brownies…
Someone had just put on some music – Sonic, suspected Tails – when the floor suddenly began shaking. They all startled in alarm, and it didn't take long before Sonic shouted, "It's Eggman!"
Of course.
Zooey let out a sob, and said, "And I planned this to be perfect!" She started crying. Robots emerged. Everyone stared at Tails with something akin to 'oh shit' as his fur then promptly switched to black, purple aura starting to well out from him…
And then he moved. A blow of wind swept through the room, and they barely had time to blink before all the robots save for Friendbot promptly exploded. And left was Eggman, staring dazedly at the mess as Tails then started walking towards him, deliberately slowly, purple energy swirling around him…
They all acted. Sonic and Friendbot leapt forward, Eggman backed away, while Zooey rushed to Tails' side. She took hold of his arm, and as he whipped around she quickly smashed their mouths together in a kiss. The effect was instant, as his eyes widened in surprise and all the black in his appearance just… disappeared. Like when the sun breaks through the clouds.
Eggman looked ready to escape this place for forever, but whether it was in fear or because of how sappy it had become, Tails didn't know. In any case, he was happy to just hold on to Zooey as Sonic and Friendbot took care of Eggman, the others having salvaged the cake to continue celebrating…
And not much got destroyed anyway, so it was alright.
