What You'd Never Suspect
Chapter Three: A plan
"Whew. That was easy," Sonic said, watching her run away.
"Just because she's gone NOW Sonic, doesn't mean a thing. You agreed to take her out for dinner, a movie, AND dessert."
".......****.
Tails grinned. "Watch your mouth, little guy," he mocked.
Sonic paid no heed to this. "Oh man..." He held his head. "What have I just gotten myself into?"
Tails, though two-tailed, was still a fox, and being a fox meant having all the slyness of one. Maybe, just maybe, he could weasel his way into getting what he wanted. "You know, Sonic, if you really don't want to go, I'll do it for you."
Sonic looked at his friend with shock. "You... You would do that... for me?"
"With pleasure!" (Oh crap. Did I just say that out loud?!)
Sonic grinned. "Thanks pal, but you don't deserve that kind of torture. Besides, I'M the on who agreed to take Amy out. I'll do it.
"Could I tag along?"
"I wish... but dates are for couples, which means two people."
"I meant follow you and spy."
"Come again?" The blue one did not completely follow.
"Well, I was going to see a movie tonight anyway, so maybe I could just follow you guys around from a distance to make sure everything goes okay."
"Better yet..." Sonic thought, "Could you be our chauffer?"
"Okay!"
"Great! Thanks, Tails."
"No prob. Now where am I going to meet you?"
"Huh?"
Tails slapped his forehead. "Don't tell me you don't know anything about dates."
"And you do?"
"I, uh... read stuff," He said nervously. "Now, where are you doing to take her?"
"Well, I'm not going to take her to some fancy place, but on the other hand, I can't be cheap, either..."
"How about Pepper's*"?
"Okay."
Tails made a mental note. "And what movie?"
"Eh... I dunno."
Tails nodded. "You're right. It doesn't matter what movie you go see."
Sonic raised an eyebrow in question. "Why not?"
"Because she'll probably have you pinned on the floor the entire time."
That caught Sonic's attention. "Any move, as long as it's something that'll hold her attention away from me."
"Alright. And dessert?"
"Uhm... let me think. Ice cream place, ice cream place.... I know! Neighborly's**!"
Tails grinned. "Then it's all set. I'll pick you and Amy up outside her apartment at 6:30.
"What? Why her place?"
Tails sighed. "Because that's what a gentlemen is supposed to do!"
Sonic glared. "But I'm not a gentleman! I'M A HEDGEHOG!"
Tails bit his lip and panted heavily. Man, Sonic could be so difficult to work with sometimes! "Alright then, forget it. Just meet her there, and I will pick you up," he ordered through gritted teeth. "Is that okay?"
"...Yeah, that'll work."
"Good. I'm going home." And with that, Tails turned back around and once again started a trek towards the train station.
Sonic groaned and started walking in the other direction, heading... somewhere. "I don't know if I can handle this dating stuff."
Tails overheard this comment and turned around, staring wistfully at Sonic. "Then next time, let me do it..." he whispered to himself. With yet another heavy sigh, he dragged himself into the station and headed home.
