[A/N - All the street names in this chapter (with exception to East Main) I made up at the spur of the moment, so if they happen to match some near where you live, it was coincidence; I am NOT stalking you.]
What You'd Never Suspect
Chapter Two: Fed Up
*Creak Creak Creak BOING!*
"Oh great. What happened THIS time?" Tails stopped tightening the bolt of the wire cap when he noticed that the brake pad fell out of place. "ARGH! That's the third ****ing time!"
"Watch your mouth, little guy."
Tails covered his mouth in shame. "Oops. Hi Sonic..."
Sonic just grinned. "Having trouble, I see."
The fox pointed accusingly at his plane. "It won't let me fix it!"
"Let me give you a hand..." Sonic leaned into the hood. "First of all, what are you doing?"
"Replacing the brake pads."
"Brakes? What would you need brakes for?"
Tails rolled his eyes. Sonic was more of a speed freak than he thought. "For stopping, duh."
"Oh. Right." He crawled under the plane. "Something that's okay to do when you don't have Amy Rose on your tail."
"But I WANT Amy Rose on my tails..." Tails mumbled softly to himself.
"What was that?"
"Oh nothing. Just commenting on how I have to brush the fur on my tails." (Oh yeah, that was smooth.)
It was convincing enough for Sonic, though. "Alright, whetever. Hand me a wrench."
"What size?"
"Ah... 6."
He did so, and a few minutes later Sonic crawled out from under the Tornado. "Alright, that should do it."
"Great! Uhm... what was I doing wrong?"
Sonic wiped some grease off of the wrench. "You were tighening the wrong wire. The one you wanted was a little further back, out of your reach."
"Oh." Tails dropped his ears.
"It's no problem, though. Maybe being this dirty will keep Amy away from me for a while." He handed the wrench to Tails.
"I wouldn't count on it..." Tails remarked as the put the tool away.
"Yeah, I know, but a hedgehog can wish, right?" Sonic rubbed his neck. "On second thought, I can't say I'm thrilled about being covered in car oil..."
"You go ahead and wash up. I'll wait for you at the train station."

Amy hopped out of her apartment building and made her way around the corner. "Today's the day!" She told herself. "I just know I'll run into Sonic and he'll want to take me out!"
---
"Ready Tails?"
"Ready Sonic!"
"GO!"
The two made their way around Station Square, in and out of alleys, side streets, and even over mailboxs. All was part of Sonic's daily course to keep in shape when Buttnik wasn't up to something.
But it wasn't a race. Just a way for Sonic and Tails to share some quality time as buds. All down East Main, from the corner of Melroth all the way down to Seeme.
As they passed by Wolknut Boulevarde, Tails did a quick check to see what streets they'd be passing next. Pleso, Wootet, Wessen, Plaine, and then Hiko. After Hiko, they'd reach the shore. (Wait.. Pleso, Wootet, Wessen... Wessen. What about Wessen seems familiar?)
They sped by Felrose, the street in which Amy's apartment was on.
Tails gasped and checked his watch. 2:46.
"SONIC! LOOK OUT!"
"For what, bro?" He asked, looking over his shoulder. "There aren't any ca----OOOF!"
"WaaaAAAAAHHHHHH!!" cried out a high pitched voice.
Sonic stumbled around dizzily. "Since when were street poles pink....?"
"They're not. It's MEEE!!" Amy Rose jumped on Sonic from behind. "Gotcha'!
Tails winced. "NOW do you know what I mean?"
Sonic nodded in pain. "Yes."
Amy hugged her hedgehog hero. "Oh, Sonic! You were right on time, like always. And I'm so glad I caught you today."
"ALL RIGHT!!!" Sonic roared, escaping from Amy's Hug of Death. "I'm sick of this. WHAT do you want from me!?"
Unfazed by his sudden outburst, Amy listed what she wanted from Sonic. "Dinner, a movie, and dessert."
"And if I agree to your demands, you'll stop nagging me about it?"
"Maybe."
"Good enough." Sonic closed his eyes and sighed. If there was a chance she'd get off his back, he'd take it.
Amy's eyes became as bright as stars. "Sonic... y-you mean...?"
Calmed down, he sighed again and looked directly at the girl. "Yes, Amy. I mean I'll go out with you for one night, and one night ONLY."
Judging by the look on her face, one night was more then enough. "Oh jeeze... oh my... oh g-g-great! Oh Sonic, THANK YOU! I swear you won't regret it! You can pick me up at 6:30, okay! Bye!" She blew him a kiss and ran home.
