Tails had parked the Mach II in an alleyway to avoid suspicion. This, of
course, allowed him to not only have enough time to sit quietly and do
nothing, but he also had plenty of time to count all five hundred and fifty
eight bricks on one wall.
He sighed. Waiting for his friends shouldn't be this boring!
Tails looked at Mach II dashboard in front of him. If he configured the layout a bit...Maybe added something here...or there...
Ideas bursting into his head, Tails got to work. The nearby garbage bins were enough for spare parts and tools, even though most of what he got his hands on were pretty shot. However, with a little genius and a lot of work, he got everything together.
Tails couldn't help but wonder who was throwing away all these parts. It seemed to him that, even though they looked shot, they were in pretty good condition...And the tools, too. They were pretty good, except for a screwdriver he found. It was bent in an awkward angle for a screwdriver to be usable. Tails was able to use it, nonetheless.
With pride, Tails stepped back to marvel at his work. Of course, to the naked eye, it was completely unchanged. Tails calmly walked over and, with hands trembling from excitement, pushed an added button on the dashboard.
Joy overfilled his body as the Tornado Mach II pulled, twisted and turned into a whole new vehicle; a Sonic-blue convertible with his very own trademark on both car doors. Tails giggled in joy at the works of his own genius and climbed inside.
He sighed. The seat was too low for him to drive!
Once again he climbed out, pondering the current situation. Maybe if he...no, that won't work...What about...? Nope. Failure waiting to happen...
Tails started digging through the local dumpster to find the parts he needed. Why where the pieces in such good, yet disguised, shape?
Oh well. He had to finish before Sonic got there! Sonic would be so surprised!
Tails continued to work with a huge smile on his face. He knew Knuckles would be back with Sonic and Shadow soon, so he had to hurry.
"Yo, Tails? You there?"
Whoops! They were back sooner than he thought!
"I'm under here!" he called from under the convertible.
"What did you do to the Tornado?!" Knuckles exclaimed, lifting Sonic to put him in the back seat while Shadow crawled over on his own side.
"I converted it!" Tails giggled as he climbed out. "I wanted it to be a surprise!"
"Well, you got the surprise part!" Sonic smiled. "I'm lovin' it!"
"I thought you would!" Tails beamed. "I worked really hard, too! I'm just kinda surprised that all the spare parts I could find were really good shape, although they looked shot..."
"Don't worry about it," Sonic answered. "I just wanna know one thing."
"Déjà vu."
"Shut up, Shadow. When I get better, can I drive?"
He sighed. Waiting for his friends shouldn't be this boring!
