Later that night, behind Tails's workshop, a terrified Tails was backed up against the wall by an angry pink hedgehog. Snarling, Amy brandished a scandalous photograph of Sonic in her left hand, and with her right hand, she slammed the wall next to Tails's head.
"Did you know about this, Tails?!" Amy demanded to know.
Tails's gaze darted from the photograph back to Amy's terrifying visage. Her face was all twisted up with rage. But Tails had never seen the photo before. It just showed some girl kissing Sonic while he was asleep (or maybe dead, because that happened to him sometimes). "K-Know about what? I don't understand the question!"
"You know what I'm talking about! Did you know that sick blue hedgehog is into this kind of thing?! What is wrong with him?! It's just not right! He's got a cute girl like me, so he shouldn't be so perverted!"
"O-Oh, that…" Tails averted his gaze. "W-Well, I guess I kind of knew…"
"You knew?!" Amy slapped her hand against the wall a couple of times, making Tails wince and scaring the heck out of him. "Why didn't you tell me! I thought we were friends! How could you, Tails?!"
"I-I'm sorry! I was a bit worried about you, but I didn't really know what to say… Plus, it's Sonic's life, so I wasn't sure if it was any of my business… And you know, it's kind of hard to talk about."
Amy's anger lessened by a degree as she considered Tails's words. But her intense, scrutinizing gaze now said whether she forgave Tails depended on how he responded next. "How long, Tails? How long has this been going on? How long has Sonic been into girls like this?!"
"I-I'm not sure… There was that Sara girl before. But I was so busy trying to show Sonic my new bodyboard… Also, I had a really bad cold that day that made it so I could barely speak, so I was really out of it, so I kind of didn't realize there was anything weird going on until after it was all over…"
"So he's always been into those kinds of girls?!" Amy was so stunned she took a step back.
"If it makes you feel any better Amy, Sara was part cat, so I thought it might be less weird?"
"It doesn't make me feel better! If she's part cat, she should go date Big instead of my Sonic! Oooh, Sonic! Why?! Why won't you love me?!"
"I'm sorry, Amy…" With a sympathetic look, Tails shrugged. "I-I don't know, maybe Sonic is just—"
"Waahhhh!" Tears flooded down Amy's cheeks as she turned around and dashed away. As she went, she took a potshot at Tails's waterwheel with her hammer, and chipped off a bit of it.
"Amy!" Tails called after her, but it was no use. He buried his face in his hands. "Ohhh… What am I supposed to do?" With a sigh, he spun his tails in a circle and flew after her, to try his best to comfort her in her time of grief, and to make sure she didn't do any more property damage.
