As the months passed by, Sonic found that he liked this mechanical stuff. He spent most of his free time at Tails Workshop, either helping Tails or working on his own little projects. Tails pretended to enjoy working with Sonic, but he really didn't like the situation. Sonic seemed to know more about fixing and building as he did. At times, he felt like he was the one helping Sonic. Sonic even expanded the seating on the Tornado to four without affecting its speed. Tails had tried to do that many times before without success.
Amy's birthday was coming up, and Sonic decided to build her a present. Tails suggested that they have a surprise birthday party, and Sonic agreed. They got together with their other friends (except Amy of course) and planned it all out.
Amy was sure surprised with the party. Everyone was having a good time, even Sonic. Working with all that mechanical stuff improved his patience, so he didn't feel like running off at the first sign of boredom. Tails was having a good time and forgot about his troubles. At least, until the time for presents came.
She opened all her presents except for Sonic's, leaving that for last. She got stuff including a hammer polisher from Tails, a brush from Cream, and cubic zirconium earrings from Rouge.
"What, were you expecting real gems?" Rouge stated when Knuckles questioned her gift choice.
"Now let's see what my Sonniku got me!" Amy exclaimed. She opened the large box to find two smaller boxes: one blue and one orange.
"Open the blue one first, Amy," said Sonic. Amy did and got a plastic Sonic figure, about the size of a Chao. It was greatly detailed, showing days of delicate work.
"It's great, I love it!" Amy squeeled.
"And that's not all," Sonic said, grinning. "Let me show you."
Amy gave the figure to Sonic. He then turned the arms so they were facing up, and placed it on the floor. He then opened the orange box and took out a remote control, like those used for RC cars.
"What's that for?" Shadow asked.
"Watch," Sonic replied. He started operating the controls. Everyone expected the Sonic figure to run around, jump or something.
Instead, out of the orange box came another figure of the same scale as the Sonic one. It was a figure of Tails, flying through the air using it's two plastic tails. Sonic piloted the Tails figure over the Sonic figure, and had it descend. When it got close enough, the Sonic figure grabbed the hands of the Tails figure, and Sonic flew the two around the room over the surprised faces.
"How did you make it grab the other's hands?" Amy asked.
"I bet it was using magnets," Rouge said.
"Correct!" Sonic beamed.
"Better watch out, Tails. Sonic might build a replacement for you," Knuckles said, patting Tails on the back.
Everyone laughed at this. Tails also laughed at this, but he was forcing himself to. He didn't feel like laughing. He felt like breaking down and crying. He felt like he wanted to die.
