Chapter 12: Give Robotnik Some Credit

Written by: KingSnow5092

Two months had passed and now it was December which means it was around Christmas time and all the kids were excited about the holidays weather it be Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or any other holiday each person celebrate they were getting excited and getting ready for the holidays around. Right now, the residents of South Island were at the Station Square Mall getting the gifts they need for their loved ones or for themselves even donating it charity to the mall Santa's ringing the bell nearby the pot for people to put money inside for charity. The kids were fighting over the gifts they wanted for their holidays even the adults were fighting as well in some stores but other stores had more peaceful people who got along and actually let another less fortunate get the gift either they want for themselves or their loved ones. Right now, there were two friends in particular who were walking down the walkways of the mall getting the gifts for their family and they were Sonic and Tailsko.

Sonic and Tailsko walked down the walkway of the mall looking for some gifts they want to give for their loved ones or themselves. "I can't believe that Christmas is just two weeks away I'm just so excited!" Tailsko said. "I know and pretty soon me and your family will be spending time together around the holidays at your uncle's house!" Sonic agreed. "You'll love my uncle Sonic believe or not he's a magician and a scientist which is where I got my idea of becoming the scientist like my uncle or even a pilot at the same time if possible." Tailsko told him. "That's cool! Wait until you tried my Uncle Chuck's chili dogs they are the best in town which is where I first ate my favorite food!" Sonic told her as he licked his lips in delight. "Cool!" Tailsko said.

As they walked down they stopped in front of the clothes store which is called "Stripes-ZZZ Zebra's" they peeked inside to see the store was slightly large with black and white striped walls, black and white checkered floor, two large dressing rooms one for boys and one for girls against the wall, clothes hangers with clothes on each side of the store, a red carpeted line leading up straight to the counter, a large brown counter with a cash register on it and a small box of cosmetics on it, a large door behind the counter for the worker's break room, and a clerk who was a female purple and white zebra sitting in the chair while filing her nails.

Sonic and Tailsko were about to walk inside when Amy, Cream, and Cheese walked out from the store with bags in their hands they nearly stopped in front of each other and were surprised that they nearly bumped into each other. "SONIC!" Amy squealed with delight as she dropped her bags she then hugged Sonic this caused Sonic to blush in embarrassment he didn't mind Amy hugging him but not in front of everyone else. Sonic returned the hug so he doesn't seem rude to Amy. "Nice to see you too Amy." Sonic said. She then let go fo Sonic and noticed him blushing. "Oh Sonic! You're so cute when you blush!" Amy said. "Amy! Please you're embarrassing me!" Sonic said. "Oh sorry." Amy giggled. "It's cool!" Sonic assured her.

"You really like Sonic don't you miss Amy?" Cream asked. Amy just shrugged her shoulders and blushed at those words. "Anyway, what are you doing here?" She asked. "Tailsko and I were just looking for some gifts for our parents." Sonic answered. "Oh that's very sweet of you two." Cream said. "Chao." Cheese said. "Thank you by the way you're so cute!" Tailsko said. Cream blushed as she giggled at Tailsko's complement. "Thanks." The rabbit said. The cream-colored rabbit then walked toward the orange vixen and held out her hand. "Hello my name is Cream the Rabbit miss Amy's best friend and this my pet chao Cheese." Cream introduced herself. "Chao." Cheese said as he bowed to her. "My name is Tailsko the Fox and this is my best friend Sonic." Tailsko told her as she shook her hand. "It's nice to meet you miss Tailsko but I already know mister Sonic's name." Cream said as she let go of Tailsko's hand. "Sorry." Tailsko said. "No problem." Cream said.

Cream felt Amy pulled her back away from the orange vixen. "Cream? What are you doing talking to that vixen?" Amy asked. The rabbit turned to her best friend and asked. "What do you mean miss Amy?" The pink hedgehog growled. "Don't you remember she tried to steal Sonic away from me!" Amy answered. "Hey! Sonic and I are just friends!" Tailsko corrected. "Yeah right!" Amy scoffed. "Amy! Calm down we are just friends!" Sonic assured her. "Sonic!" Amy shouted. But then the rabbit grabbed her from behind and glared at her. "That's it miss Amy! If you're going to act this way around Tailsko than I won't be your friend anymore!" Cream shouted. Amy was taken aback by this she never seen Cream this angry before except the time she tried to beat up Tailsko that is but this was even worse.

Amy did feel guilty for being a jerk to Tailsko when Cream was in front of her because she didn't want Cream to think that she was a bully she knew how Cream hates when she hurts someone because she believes that she's stealing Sonic away from her. Then she had an idea she'll be nice around Tailsko only when Cream is around them and be mean to her when Cream's not looking. "I suppose your right Cream I've had been mean to Tailsko too much I will never do that again, I promise." Amy told her as she had her fingers crossed behind her back. Cream turned back and smiled. at her. "Thank you miss Amy." Cream said. Amy and Cream hugged each other for a while then they let go. "I'm sorry I was so mean to you Tailsko." Amy said as she held her hand to shake it. "I forgive you Amy." Tailsko said.

Tailsko and Amy shook hands then they let go of each other Sonic smiled at this scene it looks like the war between Tailsko and Amy is over or so he thought. "We better get going miss Amy my mother will be worried about where I am if I don't arrive home on time." Cream told her. "I'll be right there I just have to talk to Sonic for a moment." Amy told her. "OK then." Cream said. "Bye miss Tailsko it was nice to meet you." Cream said. "Bye Cream it was nice to meet a new friend whose a girl." Tailsko said. Tailsko and Cream hugged each other to seal their friendship after a while they let go of each other then Cream and Cheese walked down the walkway of the mall. Tailsko walked into the store to find some clothes for her parents.

"What is it you want to talk to me about Amy?" Sonic asked. Amy smiled she then got out a small green credit card with security numbers, "Mobius Bank" written in gold letters, and "Rob O' Hedge" written in gold letters as well. "This is a credit card that my cousin Rob let me borrow of course he told me to only use for the gifts I need to buy for my family or friends of course what's better way to spend it than to spend it on gifts for you. Isn't that great?" Amy answered. "Wow, that's great Amy! But you might need to be careful about how much you spend on the credit card or you might get in trouble." Sonic said. Amy giggled as she closed her eyes, lifted her leg, and shook her card in the air. "Relax Sonic, I know what I'm doing thanks for your concern!" Amy assured.

"Well alright if you say so Amy." Sonic said, shrugging. Then the pink hedgehog kissed Sonic on his cheek and said. "See you around." She then skipped down the walkway while humming her own tune to catch up with Cream. Sonic blushed after she did that he then wiped off the kiss when Amy wasn't looking. 'That Amy she's a crazy girl but a nice girl as well.' Sonic thought as he shook his head and chuckled at his own thought. The blue hedgehog then walked into the store to find his best friend to see where she went.

Hours later, the duo walked up the counter where the zebra was Sonic had a long blue shirt and a pair of dark blue jeans for his father and a long purple shirt and a purple skirt for his mother while Tailsko had a long navy green shirt and blue jeans for her father and a long pink shirt and pink skirt for her mother they tapped on the counter to get the zebra's attention since there was no bell the zebra looked up to find two customers waiting for her. "Which one of you would like to pay first?" She asked. Tailsko raised her hand as if she was in a classroom Sonic let her go first since he was a gentleman and ladies always go first. Tailsko placed the items on the counter to which the clerk scanned for her and then the price came up on the cash register. "That will be $25 dollars please." The zebra clerk told her.

Tailsko got out the cash but she realized that she didn't have enough to pay for both dresses she was about to tell the clerk that she didn't have enough money when Sonic noticed this he grabbed her hand and whispered to her. "I'll pay for half." Tailsko nodded to him. Then the blue hedgehog placed his items on the counter to which the zebra clerk was surprised to see that it was Sonic standing before her. "Oh my! Sonic the Hedgehog! I've heard so much about you why you're the most popular kid in school!" The zebra gushed. Sonic blushed at the praise as he scratched the back of his head. "Thank you, my friend and I are together so we'll pay for half of these items." Sonic told her. "Very well!" The zebra said as she scanned the rest of the items and the cash register now said a different price.

"Now it's 15 dollars since you're a popular kid I figured I discount the price for you." The zebra told him. Sonic and Tailsko smiled at this as they paid the zebra the cash, packed the items in recyclable bags, and handed it to them to which they took from her. "Thank you!" They both said as they walked out waving to her. "Thank you, come again!" The zebra said as she waved to them. After a while they sat down on the bench to check the items they got are legit. "Thank you for paying the rest Sonic but you didn't have to do that." Tailsko said. "You're welcome but I thought it would be the right thing to do since your low on money and all." Sonic told her. Tailsko smiled at the blue hedgehog for his kindness. "By the way what was Amy talking to you about when I was in the store?" She asked.

"She was telling me about how her cousin Rob let him borrow his credit card to buy the gifts she needs to buy for her loved ones but so far she's been using that card to buy gifts mostly for me." Sonic answered. Tailsko rolled her eyes. "She sure has a crush on you Sonic!" Tailsko joked. Sonic chuckled. "Tell me about it! I don't mind her buying gifts for me but she really needs to cool her jets!" Sonic said. "Well, I've already got one thing I've always wanted for Christmas!" Tailsko said. Sonic looked at her and asked. "What's that little sis?" Tailsko turned to him and pointed to him. "You silly! A best friend a girl would ever have!" She answered. Sonic blushed and said. "Thanks Tailsko."

Sonic and Tailsko hugged each other after she said that as they were hugging some of the passerbys were touched by this scene while some of them were disgusted by this scene because of the hedgehog and the fox being friends some of them don't like mixed species relationships like that. Sonic and Tailsko let go of each other, they grabbed their bags, and walked down the walkway back to their homes.

-Later that Night-

Amadeus, Rosemary, and Tailsko were at the table eating their dinner which was baked chicken legs and breast, mashed potatoes, and corn. Well, Amadeus and Rosemary were eating but Tailsko was eating slowly she had thought about what Sonic told her about Amy having a credit card she always wondered what it would be like to have a credit card of her own someday she seen her parents used the credit card to buy things often and maybe it was time to get her own credit card so that way Sonic, her parents, or her friends wouldn't waste money to buy the things she need. She looked up to her parents and tapped her glass of milk with her fork to get their attention to which her parents looked up to her.

"Mom, dad, can I ask you something?" Tailsko asked them. "Sure dear." Rosemary answered. "What is it?" Amadeus asked. Tailsko took a deep breath and began to speak. "Well, I've been thinking about getting my own credit card so I can buy the stuff I need in the future, the stuff I want, and to buy gifts for my friends and family since you two have credit cards I think I might be old enough to get my own credit card so would it be okay to have my own credit card please?" Tailsko explained to them. Amadeus and Rosemary looked at each other and then they looked at Tailsko. "No honey, you're too young to have a credit card yet." Rosemary answered. "Why not?" Tailsko asked.

"Credit cards are big responsibilities you're not old enough to have your own credit card yet besides you must have a bank sign you up for a credit card before you can use it and only adults can use credit cards because we know how to use them so sorry honey but the answer is no." Amadeus explained to her. Tailsko sighed in sadness when they told her that but then she had an idea maybe she would go back to the mall tomorrow, go to the bank, and sign up for her own credit card without her parents knowing she knew it was wrong but she was so desperate so she faked a smile and nodded to her parents. "OK, I understand." Tailsko said. "Good, now finish your dinner dear and do the dishes." Amadeus told her. Tailsko began to eat her dinner normally.

-The Next Day-

Decoe, Bocoe, and Bokkun were digging around the dumpster outside of the mall looking for leftover metal scraps for Robotnik to build more machines for his world conquering plans while Robotnik is standing outside of the dumpster watching them making sure they don't mess up big time. "Did you find anything yet?" Robotnik called out. Decoe and Bocoe poked their heads out from the dumpster and shook their heads at the human. "I found something!" Bokkun said chewing something in between speeches as he poked his head out of the dumpster. "Really? What did you find?" Robotnik asked. Bokkun held up a half-eaten cheeseburger in his hand. "A cheeseburger from McDoodle's!" Bokkun answered. Robotnik face-palmed and growled in frustration.

"You brainless bucket of bolts! I wanted metal scraps! Not scraps of food!" Robotnik shouted as he shook his fist at him. Bokkun gulped he then gobbled the rest of the cheeseburger before ducking back down into the dumpster continuing his work. Robotnik heard helicopter noises coming toward him he turned to find that it was Tailsko flying toward the mall he noticed that she was all alone without Sonic with her. Robotnik grinned in delight he had another idea. "Decoe, Bocoe, and Bokkun! Come out of there I have another idea!" Robotnik called out to them. Decoe, Bocoe, and Bokkun poked their heads out from the dumpster. "What is it Robotnik?" Decoe asked.

Tailsko walked down the hallway of the mall looking from left to right to see the place she was looking for once in a while she heard someone sneaking up behind her she stopped, turned around, but nobody was behind her, and continued to walk around. She finally found the place she was looking for she looked up to the large bank which said "Mobius Bank" in large green blocky letters. She walked into the bank unaware that Robotnik and his goons were following her this whole time they were sneaking up behind her so they can capture her to make her work for Robotnik. The bank was large with green walls, royal purple carpeted floor, four desks with computers on it, an ATM outside of the bank, a large door at the end of the bank where employees go to work, and a large desk at the end of the bank with business stuff on top, a phone, and the owner sitting in the large red swivel chair talking on the phone.

The owner was a male gold walrus with green eyes, short black hair, silver muzzle, two small white tusks, whiskers, wearing a blue business suit, a red tie, navy blue jeans, white gloves, a long gold flipper tail, and black shoes he was talking on the phone with his wife about dinner. Tailsko walked up to the red chair in front of the desk and sat down on it with her hands folded waiting for the walrus to finish talking on the phone she didn't want to be rude and interrupt the walrus with his conversation. Robotnik and his goons hid behind one of the desks so nobody can spot them. "What is she doing?" Decoe asked. Robotnik put his hand over Decoe's mouth and hushed him.

"Yes dear, fish sticks would be lovely for dinner with tartar sauce of course! Thank you dear goodbye!" The walrus said as he put down his phone he turned his head to find the young vixen sitting there with a smile on her face. The walrus turned his chair with a smile on his face, clasped his hands together, placed them on the desk, and closed his eyes. "Yes young lady is there something I can do for you?" The walrus asked. "Yes, I would like to sign up for my own credit card please." Tailsko answered. The walrus opened his eyes and was surprised to hear that from the child. "Oh, I'm sorry dear but you have to be 18 years or older to own a credit card I'm afraid that there's nothing that I can do for you if I did and I would lose my job so I'm sorry dear but I can't do that." The walrus said. Tailsko felt sad by this but she understood that the walrus could lose his job if he gave a credit card to a kid so she didn't want him to lose his job.

"Ok, thank you anyway happy holidays!" Tailsko said as she got up and walked out of the bank as she waved at him. "Happy Holidays!" The walrus called out as he waved her back he the went back to his work. Robotnik and his goons looked at each other to which Robotnik grinned in delight. "Guys, I have another idea!" Robotnik told them as he held one finger in the air. "Again?" Decoe asked as he scratched his head in confusion. Robotnik grabbed his robot goons causing them to yelp. "Whoa!"

Tailsko walked down the hallway of the mall she then stopped to see a large area where the kids were waiting in line to see Santa Claus himself! She had an idea that maybe Santa could get her a credit card for Christmas after all Santa has been known to give gifts for kids they wanted for Christmas if they were nice that is and Santa is magical so he would probably make her a credit card for kids to use. So she ran up toward the line and stopped in front of a kid in line waiting to see Santa. She noticed the area had red and green striped walls, the floor covered in cotton that looked like snow, large candy cane stands across the area, large different colored wrapped up present decorations in some areas, a gingerbread house stand with a door inside of it leading to the employee area, a large arch sign saying "Meet Santa" in red and green letters, a red and white carpeted line to stand in while waiting for Santa, and a large brown chair where Santa sits in.

Santa was a male Causican-American human with blue eyes, pointy ears, red nose, red cheeks, white beard, heavy-set, wearing a long red suit with a white zipper in the middle, a red Santa hat with a white cotton ball on top and white stuffing on the bottom, green gloves, a black belt with a yellow square on it, and black boots on his feet. An elf who was a small male Causican-American human with green eyes, pointy ears, a pointy green hat, green suit, red gloves, a black belt, and curly black shoes was at the side of the chair. The kid was sitting on Santa's lap she was a female pink flamingo telling Santa what she wanted for Christmas once she was done Santa handed her a candy cane to who she took and thanked him she got off and ran down the line.

The elf was about to call out who was next in line but then Decoe who was disguised as an elf tapped on the elf's shoulder who which he turned and Decoe whispered something into the elf's ear after that the elf nodded he then ran up to Santa and whispered what Decoe had whispered to him after that Santa nodded. "I'll be right back kiddies! Mrs. Claus just called me she wanted to ask me what she wants to do about supper tonight but I'll have a replacement soon!" Santa announced to the kids. He then got up from his chair, walked with the elf toward the door, opened the door, both went inside, and closed the door behind them. Then the door opened again but this time it was Robotnik dressed as Santa and his goons dressed as elves.

Robotnik was dressed in a red suit which barely exposed his stomach, green gloves, black boots, wore a white fake beard, a red Santa hat, and painted his moustache white so nobody could recognize him. As for the robots they were dressed as elves they wore green suits, pointy green hats, red gloves, curly black shoes, and fake pointy ears. Bokkun's elf disguised fit him like a glove but Decoe and Bocoe's barely fitted at all their stomachs were exposed a bit but better than Robotnik's since they were robots and not human. Robotnik walked toward the chair and sat down on it with his robots standing side to side next to him. "Next in line Tailsko the Vixen!" Decoe called out. Tailsko's eyes widened with delight it was already her turn?

She jumped up into the air, twirled her tails, flew over the line, and landed into Robotnik's lap. The other four kids shook their fists and protested at this. "Hey no fair! I was next in line!" A male yellow lion shouted. "Yeah, me too!" A male tan camel agreed. "What's the idea of sending that freak over there!" A female pink rabbit asked. "Not fair at all!" A male red hawk shouted. "ENOUGH! This is a special needs kid and Santa always let the special needs kid go first!" Robotnik shouted to them. The kids fell silent realizing that what Santa said was right. "Oh yeah." They all said in unison. "Sorry I called you a freak." The rabbit called out. "That's okay!" Tailsko called back.

"Now then what would you like for Christmas little girl?" Robotnik asked. Tailsko smiled a biggest smile ever and said. "Well, Santa I know I'm too young to have one but this Christmas I want a credit card that kids can use." Robotnik smiled as he patted the orange vixen on the head. "Ho! Ho! Ho! Not to worry little girl I have a credit card that's just right for you just wait a minute while my elves fix that card now." Robotnik told her. Tailsko smiled and clapped her hands in excitement she was going to get her own credit card! She waited for a couple of hours until she heard a loud ding sound. "What was that?" She asked. "That's your credit card and it's ready to use we've already activated it for you all you have to do is to sign the card and a paper." Robotnik answered her.

Bokkun hovered toward Robotnik and Tailsko with a small square black box in his hands then landed on the human's lap as he knelt on one knee and held out the box to Tailsko and opened it for her as if he was proposing to her to marry him. The inside of the box revealed to be a small orange credit card with security numbers on it, a Mobius Bank sticker on above the numbers, and Melissa Tailsko Prower's name on it written in black letters. She was amazed by this it was her own credit card and Santa had already activated it for her she grabbed a card and looked at it for a while in awe. She could finally buy whatever she wanted and buy gifts for her friends and family.

Robotnik handed her a pen she then singed her name on the back of the card after that Robotnik held out a paper for her to sign as well she wrote her name on the paper and Robotnik rolled up the paper and put it in his pocket. "Alright young lady, you're all set! I hope you enjoy your card!" Robotnik told her. "I will thank you Santa!" Tailsko said. The vixen kissed the human on the cheek as a thank you. "You're welcome little girl have a nice day!" Robotnik said as he handed her a candy cane who which the vixen took from it, she jumped down from his lap, and flew away from the area. Robotnik then got up from the chair and stretched his legs "Alright kiddies! The real Santa is coming back to do the rest of you while this Santa takes a lunch break!" Robotnik called out to them.

The four of them walked toward the door, opened it, and went inside to tell Santa about their break after a while the real Santa and his elf opened the door, walked back to the area, Santa sat back down on his chair, and his elf stood next to him. "Sorry about that kiddies now with that out-of-the-way who's next in line?" The elf told the kids. "ME!" The lion roared with happiness as he raised his hand. "Alright come on down!" Santa told him motioning him to sit on his lap. The lion ran and jumped onto Santa's lap. "Now what do you want for Christmas little boy?" Santa asked. "I would like my own credit card please?" The lion asked him. Santa and the elf looked at each other in confusion as they both said. "Huh?"

Tailsko walked down the walkway of the mall looking for which store she can use her card with she looked and looked until she found the game store she and Sonic had been where they had the run in with her kindergarten bullies despite the run in with the bullies she still visit the game store and it was one of her favorite places to go. The game store was a large store with red carpeted floor, yellow walls, shelves filled with video games, separate shelves filled with video games and game consoles, a bargain bin filled with games for low prices, a TV screen with controllers to test out a new game coming out, nearby the exit, a large counter with plushies, gift cards, a bell to get the clerk's attention, a card scanner for paying cards, and a cash register on top of it, and behind the counter had a glass with game consoles and video games where you have to tell the clerk to get the games for you.

Tailsko walked around the store to see what games she can buy for Sonic she found three games that interested her: Tomato Hippo's Lost World, Tomato Hippo Mania, and Tomato Hippo Forces. She grabbed the games from the shelves, walked toward the counter, placed the items on the counter, and rang the bell. The clerk who was a male orange pig looked up from the gamer magazine he was reading to see the vixen standing there waiting for her items to be scanned. The pig grabbed the games and scanned them after that the cash register brought up the price. "That will be 30 dollars, miss." The pig said. Tailsko got out her card, swiped the card through the scanner, and it said. "APPROVED" in green letters. After that the clerk bagged the items, handed it to the fox, she took it, and walked out of the store thanking him. She was happy that her card had worked she took out her card again, kissed it, and put it back in her pocket.

"I love this card! I don't have to pay for anything again!" Tailsko cheered. Unknown to her, Robotnik and his robots were watching her they were out of their Santa and elves costumes and back to their regular clothes they were sitting on the bench with newspapers in their faces they lowered their papers to watch Tailsko walk away from the store. "Oh, that's what you think my little two-tailed friend pretty soon you will have to pay the piper!" Robotnik said in a low tone so nobody else was suspicious of him. Robotnik and his goons laughed evilly. Tailsko walked back to the clothes store she was with Sonic yesterday she looked at the sparkling blue dress that was just her size. "Wait until Sonic sees me in that dress!" Tailsko said to herself.

Tailsko ran into the store, grabbed the blue dress, and ran into the dressing room to try the new dress. She looked in the mirror while wearing the blue dress she twirled and spun until she got a bit dizzy she looked at herself and figured that it was a perfect dress for her to wear! She took off the dress, put her gloves, socks, and shoes back on, and walked out of the dressing room. She walked up to the counter, placed the dress on the counter, and the zebra took and scanned it across the scanner. "That will be 50 dollars please and you better have some money this time." The zebra said. Tailsko took out her card and said. "Charge it!"

The zebra was surprised by this and squealed in delight. "Oh the credit card! Of course, dear!" The zebra said, she swiped the card across the scanner and the scanner said. "Approved" again in green letters. The zebra packed the dress into the box and handed it to the vixen who which the vixen took from her. "Have a nice day!" The zebra said waving to her. "You too!" She said as she walked out of the store with a smile on her face. 'I think that's enough shopping for today I better head home before my parents wonder where I am.' Tailsko thought. She jumped up, twirled her two tails, and flew out of the store quick as a wink.

Later at home, Tailsko ran up to her room and hid the gifts under her bed so her parents won't ask where she got the money to buy such things. She jumped on her bed and laid down to relax a bit before dinner. "I've finally got my own credit card just think about how much I can get with my card, hell, I can even get my own house for that matter!" Tailsko whispered. She closed her eyes as she had a day-dream.

-Tailsko's Day Dream-

A large orange mansion with many cars, stairs, butlers, a large pool, lawn chairs around the pool, and sun shining down on the mansion. Tailsko was laying on the chair wearing a blue bikini swimsuit while Sonic was laying next to her wearing an orange swimsuit. "This is such a nice place to live with you Tailsko." Sonic said. "It sure is all thanks to my credit card I could afford whatever I want with just one swipe!" Tailsko agreed. She then grabbed a small bell and rang it. Darkheart dressed in a black suit and wearing a shock collar around his neck walked up to the two of them. "Yes Tailsko, you rang?" Darkheart asked. "Drinks please one for me and one for my best friend Sonic!" Tailsko answered as she snapped her fingers at him.

"Bah! You can forget..." Darkheart began but was cut off as he was shocked by the collar and sparked a bit then he twitched after that and ran to the get the drinks. Darkheart came back with two glasses of cola on the plate. Tailsko grabbed the drinks and handed one to Sonic. He took a glass and thanked her. "That will be all Darkheart!" Tailsko said waving him off. The eagle bowed and ran away in fear. Sonic and Tailsko clinked their glasses and began to drink.

-End of Tailsko's Day Dream-

Tailsko was still daydreaming about drinking cola as she was holding nothing in her hand and sucking on the air as she did she heard her mother's voice called out to her. "Melissa? What are you doing?" She opened her eyes and sat up from her bed to see her mother with a confused look on her face. Tailsko blushed in embarrassment after she realized what she was doing. "I was just daydreaming about being on a warm beach while drinking some cola trying to think warm." Tailsko lied. Rosemary smiled and nodded. "OK honey, that's fine but you better wash up for dinner it will be ready soon." Rosemary said. The older vixen walked down the hallway to finish making supper. Tailsko sighed in relief and guilt. She felt bad lying to her parents but she didn't want them to know about her credit card not yet anyway.

Tailsko took out her credit card, lifted up her pillow, picked up her book, opened the book, placed the card inside of the book, closed the book, and placed the items back to their original positions. She then got up from her bed and walked into the bathroom to wash up for dinner.

-The Next Day-

The school hallway was filled with kids talking about what they're doing this holiday season some of them were talking about how excited they were that Santa is coming to see them very soon and they told their friends about what they told Santa what they wanted for Christmas this year. Sonic and Knuckles were at the their lockers putting away their stuff they didn't need right now before they get to class while talking about what they're doing during Winter Break and Christmas day. "What are you up to this Christmas, Knux?" Sonic asked as he put away his coat into his locker. "My grandfather and I are visiting my parents during the holiday break it's been a while since I've last seen them." Knuckles answered. "That's nice." Sonic said. "What about you, Sonic?" Knuckles asked.

"My family and I are going to visit Tailsko's uncle Merlin's house during the holiday we figured since we're such good friends with each other why not spend the holidays together even better my uncle Chuck lives next door to Merlin they're practically neighbors and my uncle makes the best chili dogs in the universe!" Sonic answered. "That's very nice you get to spend some time with your girlfriend." Knuckles teased as he chuckled. Sonic's cheeks burned red after he said that he turned and glared at the echidna. "She's not my girlfriend she's my best friend who happens to be a girl!" Sonic shouted as he banged his fist on the locker. Knuckles was taken aback by this and said. "Whoa, easy there I was only kidding."

Sonic giggled as he calmed down and said. "Gotcha! I knew you were only kidding Knuckles." The echidna giggled as well and said. "You got me good there Sonic!" The both of them laughed but then they heard a whistle they stopped and turned to find the amazing sight before them. Tailsko was standing in front of them wearing a sparkling blue dress with her hands outstretched from side to side. "What do you boys think about my new dress?" Tailsko asked. Sonic and Knuckles were amazed by her new dress Knuckles thought she looked pretty while Sonic taught she looked cute in that dress and even sexy. "You look great!" Knuckles said. "I'll say you look so cute in that dress." Sonic said.

Tailsko blushed at their praises. "Thank you boys." She said giggling. "But where did you get the money to buy such a dress like that?" Sonic asked. "Well..." She began but was cut off by the bell ringing for first period. "I'll tell you later at lunch right now we better get to class before we get expelled." Tailsko told them. Sonic and Knuckles nodded their heads then they quickly put away their things and headed straight to class Tailsko quickly put her things away as well in the locker, locked her locker, and quickly ran to class.

-At Lunch-

Sonic and Tailsko were in line waiting to get their lunch this time without her father behind her as they were waiting in line she heard some of the male students behind her talking about her dress and how sexy she looked she didn't mind the praises but she was starting to get embarrassed by too much attention drawing to her she even heard some of the female students telling how ugly she looked in that dress but she didn't pay any attention to those insults she knew they were just jealous of her dress. After a while when it was her turn she told the lunch lady that she wanted some pepperoni pizza, steamed carrots, and apple sauce on the side.

The same purple hippo lunch lady filled her plate with the meal she wanted and handed it to her. "Thank you." She said. "You're welcome, nice dress by the way." The hippo said. Tailsko curtsied at her before dragging her tray at the end of the line where the drinks and desserts were. She grabbed a slice of chocolate cake and a can of Pepsi before walking to the end of the line and paid for her lunch. Tailsko sat down in her usual sat where she sat next to Sonic. They began to eat their lunch. When they were nearly done eating Sonic decided to ask Tailsko the same question again. "Now, can you tell us where you got the money to buy such a dress?" Sonic asked. Tailsko nodded. She pulled out her credit card from her pocket and shown it to the boys.

Sonic and Knuckles were amazed by this they've never seen any kid with a credit card before well except for Sonic when Amy shown him Rob's credit card but he hasn't seen a kid with their own credit card before. "That's amazing Tailsko? Where did you get that credit card?" Sonic asked. "Well, you wouldn't believe me if I told you but it was none other than Santa at the mall he gave me my own credit card because he told me that I was a special needs kid!" Tailsko explained to them. "Cool!" Sonic and Knuckles said giving her a thumbs up. "WHAT?!" Amy's voice shouted from behind. The boys and Tailsko turned to find Amy standing there with an angry and jealous look on her face. "You got your own credit card and bought your own dress!" Amy shouted.

"Of course I did Amy!' Tailsko said. "No fair! How dare you dress more pretty than me and in front of Sonic!" Amy shouted as she shook her fists at her. "Whoa chill, Amy! Sonic and I are just good friends there's no need to be jealous of me." Tailsko assured her gesturing her to calm down. Amy just huffed in anger and turned away from her. "Oh please! I use Rob's credit card to buy more dresses to look prettier than you then we'll see who's more pretty!" Amy shouted. She then stomped away in the fury as the other students scooted away from her so she doesn't hit them by mistake. Tailsko shook her hand and sighed. "That Amy needs to take a chill pill." She said. "Don't worry about her I'm sure she'll calm down later on and I got Knuckles was a hot head." Sonic assured her.

"I'll say..." Knuckles began but realized what Sonic had just said. "HEY!" Knuckles shouted. The echidna got close to the hedgehog's face with his fist in the air about ready to hit Sonic who gulped nervously but then Tailsko got in between them and pushed them away of each other while looking back and forth at them. "OK boys, why don't we just finish our lunch before we get in more trouble, hm?" Tailsko warned them in a sing-song voice. Sonic and Knuckles both blushed when they realized they were making the scene and they sat back down at their table and finished their lunch.

Later that day...

The school bell rang and all of the kids ran out of the school excited that school was over for the day. Sonic and Tailsko walked down the road to where the mall was to have some fun do a little shopping and even have a snack they invited Knuckles to come with them but he declined because his grandfather needed help with the snow in front of his yard since Knuckles was strong he was perfect for a job so he promised them that he'll come some other time. Sonic and Tailsko were walking down the road when they heard footsteps from behind them they figured that it was must be some kids going to the same mall they were going to or going back home in the direction they were walking right now but then the vixen felt something wet hit the back of her head.

"Hey! Who threw that snowball!" Tailsko cried out as she turned around and gasped in horror when she saw who it was Sonic turned around too also saw who it was as well! Darkheart, Slick, and Turbo were standing there with evil grins on their faces as usual. Darkheart held a snowball in his hand. "I thought I might give you a snow job, Tailsko!" Darkheart said. "Darkheart! What's the big idea of throwing the snow ball at Tailsko?" Sonic growled. "You stay out of this hedgehog this doesn't concern you!" Darkheart shouted. "It does when it involves my best friend!" Sonic shouted back. The purple eagle felt burned by that remark. "Oh! He's got you there Darkheart!" Slick said, elbowing him. Darkheart slapped the red iguana in the face causing to recoil in fear. Turbo ducked his head into his shell.

"I see you got a new dress there Tailsko you look lovely in that dress!" Darkheart said as he walked up to her. "Thank you I used my credit card to buy this dress." Tailsko said. "Credit card?" Darkheart asked. "This might sound silly but Santa in the mall actually give me a credit card for Christmas." Tailsko explained. Darkheart grinned at this he knew Santa could do anything for kids so maybe if he used Tailsko to make her take him to Santa and he might kidnap Santa and forced him to make him any gift he wanted. Darkheart wrapped his arm around Tailsko who felt uncomfortable by the eagle's touch and he got close to her face. "Tell you want Tailsko why don't you take me to the big fat man and make him the offer he can't refuse." Darkheart told her.

"I'll never take you to Santa you don't deserve any present this year except for a lump of coal! You just want all the presents for yourself!" Tailsko growled at him. The eagle grabbed the vixen by her chest as he growled at her. "You will take me to him or so help me I will rape you until your butt hurts!" Darkheart threatened. The vixen felt scared at the moment. Sonic saw what was going on but then he had an idea that might get Tailsko out of it he grabbed some snow, rolled it up into the ball, and threw it at Darkheart. Darkheart felt something wet hit the back of his head causing him to let go of Tailsko as Tailsko tumbled backwards but caught herself by grabbing the top of the wooden fence which lucky for her wasn't sharp at all to hurt her fingers. "OUCH!" Darkheart yelped as he rubbed his back.

Darkheart quickly turned his head and glared at Slick and Turbo who looked confused at the eagle as if saying 'what did we do?'. Darkheart grabbed a stick as he motioned them to come to him but the iguana and turtle ran away from him after that the eagle flew after his goons to hurt them bad. Darkheart thought Slick and Turbo threw a snowball at him and now he wants to hurt them for revenge. Sonic chuckled as he came from the tree he hid behind his plan was to throw a snowball at Darkheart and make him think that it was his goons who did it and it worked. Tailsko chuckled as well. "Are you okay?" Sonic asked. "I'm fine! Looks like Darkheart will get a lump of coal this year." Tailsko said. "You said little sis!" Sonic agreed. Tailsko wrapped her arms around Sonic and hugged him to which Sonic wrapped his arms around Tailsko and hugged her back. Sonic and Tailsko hugged each other for a while after that they let go of each other and continued their walk down to the mall.

-At the Mall-

Sonic and Tailsko were that the book store with blue walls, green carpeted floor, large shelves filled with books along the walls, medium-sized shelves filled with books as well in the middle of the store, a small wooden box filled with kids books at the kids section, a comic book area with comic books on each shelf, a large reading area with beanbag chairs with rainbow-colored walls, and rainbow-colored floor, and a large counter with a cash register, a stand filled with pens, and the clerk who was a male elderly Causican-American human with gray hair, bushy gray eyebrows covering his eyes, a large nose, wrinkles, short ears, wearing a brown suit and brown pants, a red bow tie, white shirt inside of his suit, wrinkly hands, and brown shoes named Professor Pickle sitting in a brown chair.

Professor Pickle was also the librarian at Green Hill Elementary School he was a good friend of Tailsko and Sonic they both like reading and science as well. He worked at the book store as his part-time job during the holidays sometimes when another librarian wasn't available during the holidays he also works at the school as well. Sonic and Tailsko was looking for books for their uncle the vixen was looking for a science book for Merlin while Sonic is looking for a cook book for Chuck. They managed to find the books they were looking for then they walked up the counter and placed the books on the counter to pay for them. "Ah Sonic would you like to buy this book?" Pickle asked. Sonic nodded. The man scanned the book and told him the price Sonic handed him the cash and took the book from the man.

Tailsko walked up to the man and placed the book on the counter. "Ah Tailsko, my favorite customer who always loves books as much as I do and that's a pretty dress you're wearing right now." Pickle said with a smile on his face. Tailsko blushed as she turned away from him. "Don't make me blush, Pickle." Tailsko said giggling. "Would you like to buy this book?" Pickle asked. Tailsko nodded. The man scanned the book and told her the price. Tailsko got out her card, swiped it across the card scanner, and it said. "Approved" in green letters on the scanner. The man handed the book back to Tailsko to which she took from him. "Thank you." Tailsko said. "You're welcome, come back soon." Pickle said waving to her. "Oh I will!" Tailsko said winking to him. The duo walked out from the store.

"My uncle will love this book thanks to my card!" Tailsko said happily. "You need to be careful not to go overboard with that card Tailsko no telling what would happen if you overuse it." Sonic warned her as he wagged his finger at her. Tailsko pinched Sonic's cheek. "Oh Sonic, you don't need to worry about me all the time I know what I'm doing besides I won't spend too much on the card!" Tailsko assured him. Little did Tailsko know is how wrong she is about what she had just said. During the few more days at the mall she used her card for a lot of things like a box of pencils, a calculator, a bag of mint candy, make-up kits, educational video games, and many more items too many to count while Robotnik watched from far away with a smile on his face she hid her items under her bed so her parents won't noticed anything. Amy also spend a lot on Rob's card like many shoes, cans of chili, hot dog wieners, hot dog buns, fit watch, and many more items too many to count.

7 Days Later...

It was winter break for the students for the week and Saturday was Christmas day to which all the kids were excited about Saturday mornings are great but Christmas Saturday mornings are even more exciting for kids Saturday and Christmas mixed together is two fun for the price of one! How exciting is that for the kids? It was just like a dream come true to everyone but little did anyone know is that for Tailsko her dream will become a nightmare for her pretty soon when a certain human will be paying her a visit pretty soon and it's not Santa Claus it will be a day she'll never forget. On the Monday afternoon all the kids were doing what they love to do during the winter break some of them were staying home playing video games, playing outside in the snow, spending time with their family, or going to the mall having fun with their friends and family getting some stuff they forgot to get for their family, friends, or themselves for Christmas or just having fun at the mall.

Right now Sonic, Tailsko, and Knuckles were at the mall having fun together they've already got the gifts for their family and friends now they're at the mall just having fun together and maybe get some lunch or a snack. The trio was at the book store reading books about their favorite things. Sonic and Tailsko were sitting next to each other in beanbag chairs reading books while Knuckles was sitting across from them in a beanbag chair as well. Knuckles was reading a book about athletes doing sports events, Sonic was reading a comic book about super heroes, and Tailsko was reading a book about a professor making a formula where he changes into an evil monster it was one of her favorite books to read.

Tailsko wasn't wearing her dress right now she hid the dress under he bed at home she didn't want her parents to become suspicious. She was wearing her usual "clothing" she was naked except she was also wearing her gloves, socks, and shoes. Sonic and Knuckles closed their books, they got up from their chairs, and stretched their arms from sitting down for so long. "I think it's about time we head home there, Sonic." Knuckles said. "I couldn't agree more Knux." Sonic said he then turned to the vixen who was still reading her book not even paying attention to what the boys had said. "Yo Tailsko, are you ready girl?" Sonic asked. "Just a second I'm almost done." Tailsko said as she held out her finger to them. Sonic and Knuckles waited for a while to let her finish reading the book.

Tailsko then closed her book, got up from the chair, stretched her arms, and looked at the boys. "OK, I'm ready let's go." Tailsko told them. The trio walked to the front of the store but Tailsko stopped in front of the counter and placed the book on it. "I like to buy this book please." Tailsko said. "Alright." Pickle said. The man grabbed the book, scanned it, and told her the price. Tailsko got out her card and swiped it across the card scanner but as she did there was a loud buzz as the card scanner said "Declined Zero Funds Available" in red letters. Tailsko was confused by this she looked at her card she must've swiped it too fast. So she swiped the card again but it said the same thing with a loud buzz. "What the?" Tailsko said.

Sonic and Knuckles walked up to the orange vixen wondering what was going on. "What's wrong, Tailsko?" Sonic asked. "My card getting declined!" Tailsko exclaimed holding up her card. The man looked at the scanner to see what it had said. "Oh dear, I'm sorry miss Tailsko but you don't have any money left on that card." Pickle told her. Tailsko gasped in horror when she heard that it couldn't be true this was her first credit card and she was out of money already? "I'm out of money but how?" Tailsko asked. "Well, credit cards have limits for owners who use them you see when you have a credit card you are borrowing money from banks and when you go over the limit you can't use the credit card anymore which means you have to pay back the money you owe the bank." Pickle explained.

Tailsko blushed in shame now it she knew what her parents and that walrus owner at the bank meant no wonder kids weren't allowed to have credit cards yet and this was the reason. She felt so stupid for wanting the credit card of her own she should've waited until she was older to get her own credit card and now she was in big trouble she didn't have enough money to pay the bank back. But it got worse when the certain human and his robots came inside the book store. "Oh dear! It's Robotnik!" Pickle exclaimed as he ducked underneath his counter. The other animals screamed when they saw Robotnik they quickly ran out of the emergency exit in the back of the store to avoid him and his robots.

Tailsko looked up to find that Robotnik was standing there with an evil grinning face and his arms crossed he was also dressed as Santa he was wearing the same suit from two weeks ago but his beard was slightly off his face and his moustache was no longer white and his robots were not dressed in elves costumers any longer. "Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas Tailsko! I'm glad you enjoyed the credit card I gave you because that will be the last time you used it and you owe me a lot of money!" Robotnik said grinning at her. Tailsko looked at her card to see that the Mobius Bank sticker was peeling off her card she peeled off the sticker to show that it was fake and underneath the sticker was named "Eggman Empire Bank" written in black letters with a Robotnik face logo on it next to the letters.

Tailsko gasped in horror as she dropped the card on the floor."That's right the bank you borrowed money from is from my bank Eggman Empire Bank the future bank where all your money belongs to me once I take over this planet I'll have my bank hand out credit cards to people who foolishly spends it on useless stuff they don't need until they go over their limit until they pay back me back the money they owe me!" Robotnik explained. Tailsko sweated as she shook with fear she looked down at her card she began to grow angry she grabbed the card, picked up the pair of scissors, and cut the card into tiny pieces and threw them into the trash can.

Robotnik laughed at this as he shook his finger at her. "I'm afraid cutting up that card won't help you out you still owe me $10,000 dollars in debt plus tax that makes 12,000 dollars!" Robotnik told her. Tailsko gasped at the price she owed Robotnik. "But that's not fair! I don't have that much money!" Tailsko told him. "You're right but another way you could pay me back is to work for me until you turn old!" Robotnik told her. Tailsko gulped in fear. Sonic stood next to her and placed his hands on her shoulders. "Listen here Rob-butt-nik! There's no way we're going let you make Tailsko your slave! You used her to use a credit card so she can go over her debt so you can make her your own slave!" Sonic shouted at him. Robotnik just shrugged as he grinned and said. "That's the way the ball bounces."

Robotnik then snapped his fingers making Decoe, Bocoe, and Bokkun stand next to him in the army pose. "OK boys, bring me that slave!" He ordered. Decoe, Bocoe, and Bokkun began to advance toward the fox but luckily Knuckles jumped in front of them. "Hey! Remember me?" Knuckles asked as he cracked his knuckles at them. The robots screamed and they jumped behind the counter where Pickle was to hide from the echidna. Decoe, Bocoe, and Bokkun laid down as they covered their heads like Pickle was doing right now. "Do you mind this is my hiding spot." Pickle said to them. "Oh, pardon us!" They said to the man. They jumped out from their hiding spot but as they did they accidentally bumped into Robotnik causing him to fall over on to the floor.

"Come on boys, now our chance let's go!" Tailsko said as she grabbed Sonic and Knuckles, jumped up into the air, twirled her tails, and flew over the villains and out of the store. Robotnik pushed the robots off of them as they flew into the counter and crashed into it. Robotnik got up and dusted himself off. "Come on! We can't let them get away!" Robotnik barked to them. The robots got up and saluted to their creator. Robotnik and his goons ran out of the store as well and chased after that three animals.

-Tailsko's House-

Rosemary was making Tailsko's bed while humming when she noticed some bags under the bed she wondered what the bags were doing under the vixen's bed so she knelt on the floor, lifted the covers up from under the bed, pulled the bags out of the bed, and looked at them. She pulled the items out of the bags and was surprised to see how much stuff her daughter had in the bags she wondered where she got them then a small piece of paper fell out from the bag. The adult vixen picked up the paper and read it. She was shocked to see that it was the receipt for the items she bought and how she paid for them. She couldn't believe that her daughter had bought these items with a credit card she was about to tell her husband when he ran into the bedroom with a shock look on his face.

"Honey! Did you see this bill from the credit card company named Eggman Empire Bank?" Amadeus asked as he held up a huge pile of papers stapled together with prices and the total of the price on the bill of the company. "Bill?" Rosemary asked. She looked at the bill and was shocked to see that the total price was 12,000 dollars! "Oh my goodness! I found the receipt for the items she bought as well!" Rosemary told him. Amadeus dropped the bill in shock. "Has she ordered the credit card without our permission?" Amadeus asked angrily. "She must have!" Rosemary said angry as well. "When she gets home we are going to have a serious talk about this!" Amadeus said. Then they heard lasers being shot outside of their windows which got their attention they ran toward the windows and looked outside.

They were shocked to see Sonic, Tailsko, and Knuckles running away from Robotnik and his robots while Robotnik was shooting lasers at them with his laser gun. "You owe me 12,000 dollars, Tailsko!" Robotnik shouted to her. Amadeus and Rosemary looked at each other then they ran downstairs, toward the door, and opened the door as they motioned the kids to come inside to which they did and Amadeus slammed the door just in time as Robotnik slammed into the door causing him to fall back onto his robots. "OW!" Robotnik screamed as he held his nose. "I think it's time for Robontik to go on the diet!" Decoe said. "Yes a very long diet!" Bocoe agreed. "I heard that!" Robotnik shouted. Decoe and Bocoe covered their mouths to silent themselves.

Sonic, Tailsko, and Knuckles sighed in relief they were safe from Robotnik but they were not safe from Amadeus and Rosemary at least for Tailsko she wasn't safe from them. "Melissa Tailsko Prower you would please explain to us what's going on here?" Amadeus demanded. Tailsko gulped in fear as Sonic and Knuckles both muttered under their breaths. "Uh oh.". After they went upstairs to Tailsko's bedroom Sonic, Tailsko, Knuckles, Amadeus, and Rosemary sat on Tailsko's bed while Tailsko explained what was going on to her parents when she was finished they were surprised to have heard how she got a credit card. "Well, that's explains everything." Amadeus said. "It most certainly does!" Rosemary agreed.

"I had no idea that the credit card works that way I thought the credit card was just like a gift card but better." Tailsko said. Amadeus sighed as he shook his head in sadness. "Melissa, credit cards don't work like that you see when you have a credit card you're borrowing money from the bank and after you use the credit card you have to pay back the money you owe the bank like such as when we let you borrow money from us and you spend it on something you always find the way to pay us back the money you owe us right?" Amadeus explained. Tailsko nodded. "Well, that's the way credit cards work your borrowing money from the bank and you have to find the way to pay the money back somehow and when you pay the money back you're good to go but if you don't then you get into a lot of trouble like they could take away your credit card, take away the items you bought, or worse they would banned you from the bank because you broke your promise to them by not paying them back and even banned you from other banks as well if possible. Now do you see why we can't let you have a credit card?" Amadeus explained some more.

Tailsko nodded her head at him she felt guilty for not listening to her father or the walrus bank owner she was glad that she didn't use the credit card from their bank or otherwise it would've been worse! "I'm so sorry I didn't know that how credit cards work." Tailsko said as she felt tears in her eyes. Amadeus and Rosemary looked at Tailsko they realized that she didn't mean any harm they felt a bit guilty as well they should've told her how credit cards work in the first place. Amadeus wrapped his arms around his daughter and pulled her into the hug she accepted his embrace and hugged him back. "It's okay sweetheart, we should've told you how credit cards work in the first place." Amadeus said softly as he rubbed her back. Rosemary rubbed her daughter's hair as well.

Tailsko then had an idea. "Wait! Maybe if I return all of this stuff to the mall and maybe I won't be in so much debt!" Tailsko suggested. "That's a good idea Tailsko if you return all of this stuff then you won't be in so much debt!" Amadeus agreed. "Leave that to me!" Sonic said as he pointed to himself. Sonic grabbed all the items that Tailsko had purchased, ran out of the house, down to the mall, returned all the stuff that Tailsko had purchased with a receipt of course, ran out of the mall, and ran back home with a large wad of cash in his hand. "Done!" Sonic said. "Wow! You really are the fastest blue hedgehog around Tailsko's really lucky to have a friend like you." Rosemary said, smiling. Sonic blushed at this and said. "Glad I could help.."

The blue hedgehog handed the orange vixen the money she owed Robotnik and put it in her pocket and just in time too because the loud crash was heard causing everyone to jump back in horror to see Robotnik and his robots standing there with evil looks on their faces. "Time to pay up Tailsko or be my slave for eternity." Robotnik demanded as he held out a plasma gun at her. Tailsko pulled out the cash and held it out to Robotnik. "Here it is, Robuttnik!" Tailsko said. Robotnik's jaw dropped to the ground in shock. "But-but-but that's impossible! There's no way you could make money that fast!" Robotnik exclaimed. "Not unless if you had Sonic with you that is!" Knuckles pointed out as he pointed to Sonic. "That's right egghead! I returned all the stuff that Tailsko bought with her credit card and got cash back from it to pay you off!" Sonic said with a grin on his face.

Robotnik growled in anger as he face-palmed in frustration but sighed in defeat. "Alright fine! The deal is a deal!" Robotnik moaned as he walked over to the vixen, snatched the money from her, examined it to make sure it was real once he knew it was he put it away into his pocket. "Your debt has been paid off, yayaya, you're free to go!" Robotnik moaned. Amadeus then got up and slammed the man against the wall. "Now listen here Robotnik if you ever hurt my daughter or trick her into doing something like that again! I swear I'll hunt you down, kill you, and mount to my wall! I happened to be a war veteran and I know how to use military stuff if you ever come into my house again you better pray for deliverance you got that?" Amadeus growled at the man.

Robotnik nodded his head in fear as he sweated like a pig he was. "Good!" Amadeus said as he let go of the man. "Now get the fuck out of my house!" Amadeus barked. Robotnik and his goons quickly ran downstairs, out of the door, and down to the street back to his fortress. Amadeus smiled as he dusted his hands off in a job well done. "Way to go, dad!" Tailsko cheered. Amadeus bowed at his daughter's praise. Sonic and Knuckles clapped as well. "I'm very sorry about what I did I guess this means I'm punished right?" Tailsko asked. The parents shook their heads at her. "We'll let it go this time since it wasn't her fault and it's Christmas." Amadeus told her. "Really?" Tailsko asked. They both nodded her head at her. "But if this happens again then we'll have to punish you." Rosemary warned her. Tailsko nodded as she hugged her parents as they returned the hug as well. It was a very nice moment for them.

Meanwhile, Robotnik and his robots running outside down to his fortress when a puff of blue smoke appeared before them causing them to skid to the halt but as they did they collided into each other and toppled over into the snow. Robotnik got up and spat out some snow then he looked up to find Santa standing over them with an angry look on his face. "Ho! Ho! Ho! Robotnik you've been a naughty man this year!" Santa said. Robotnik and his robots gasped in horror it was Santa himself. "Santa?" Robotnik said in shock. "That's right! I know you what you did to Tailsko and her friends this year and you've been very naughty boy! Because of that I've had a special punishment for you and your robots!" Santa said as he waved his hand into the air causing him and the villains disappeared into a blue cloud of smoke.

-Chirstmas Day-

It was finally Christmas day all of the kids were up early to open their presents that Santa gave to them last night they were spending time with their family and friends, visiting family, playing in the snow, or many more things they usually do around the holidays. Sonic, Tailsko, Jules, Bernie, Amadeus, and Rosemary were at Merlin's house celebrating the holidays together with Sonic's uncle Chuck as well. Merlin's house was a large two-story purple mansion with some windows on top and some on the bottom, a roof was blue with stars, a porch was purple with stars as well, and a front door was purple as well. The family was gathering around upstairs in the large room which was a party room where they celebrate the holidays or have parties there.

The party room was large with purple walls, blue carpeted floor with white stars, a large purple sofa with white stars, a large TV and a game console on a wooden stand, below the stand were DVDs of shows and movies with video games as well which was near the end of the room, a large brown table with food on top of it which was chili dogs, chicken legs, mashed potatoes, peas, gravy, Christmas cookies, star-shaped cookies, brownies, chocolate bars, soda, water, fruit juice, and many more good things, also has paper plates and cups as well, a large play area which had a warm red wall, rainbow-colored carpeted floor, a large box of toys, and a fence around it so kids don't wander around in dangerous areas, and a bookcase filled with books with a large purple chair to sit down and read on.

Amadeus, Rosemary, Jules, and Bernie were standing at the table talking about what's been going on in life. Amadeus was dressed in a black tuxedo with a red and green tie on his neck, Rosemary was dressed in a long purple dress while wearing blue eyeshadow and red lipstick as well, Jules was wearing a blue tuxedo with green tie around his neck, and Bernie was wearing a long red dress wearing pink eyeshadow and pink lipstick as well. Chuck and Merlin were talking about what books they read in the past days and they got along very well and became good friends to which Sonic and Tailsko were right about.

Merlin was a male elderly orange fox with light blue eyes, orange pointy ears, a black nose, white muzzle/inner-fur, a white beard, white eyebrows, wearing a blue robe around his body and feet like a onesie, and an orange tail he was Tailsko's uncle and Chuck was a male elderly blue hedgehog with blue eyes, blue pointy ears, a black nose, peach muzzle/inner-fur, white gloves, a white moustache, white eyebrows, peach arms, a short blue tail, and maroon shoes he was Sonic's uncle he looked like Sonic but was older than him. "So you make chili dogs for the living, eh, Chuck?" Merlin asked. "I sure do and you should see Sonic he gulps them down like a vacuum cleaner." Chuck answered as he giggled at the thought of his nephew doing so. Merlin chuckled at this.

"You should see my niece she reads books like there's no tomorrow no matter what we do around her she never gets distracted while reading any book!" Merlin said, laughing. "Wow, we sure have amazing nieces and nephews." Chuck said chuckling a bit. "I'll say by the way where are they anyway?" Merlin asked as he looked around. "There in the play area playing as usual!" Chuck answered pointing to the play area. The elderly fox turned to see his niece and nephew playing with each other. "It's so nice to see my niece having a friend the sad thing is nobody wanted to be your friend because of her two tails they always call her a freak and bully her a lot but thanks to your nephew Sonic she has a friend now to play with." Merlin said. "It sure is! Who knows maybe one day they might get married!" Chuck joked as he laughed Merlin laughed as well at the joke.

At the play area, Sonic and Tailsko were on the floor playing with two plushies in their hands one plushie was a hedgehog while the other was a fox plushie. "Oh no Sonic look it's Dr. Egghead he's coming this way!" Tailsko said in a playful voice. Then Tailsko grabbed an egg with a face plushie and hovered it toward the two plushies. "Ha! Ha! Ha! It is me Dr. Egghead! I'm here to take over the world!" Tailsko said in a mocking Robotnik voice. "That's what you think Robotnik!" Sonic said in a playful voice. Then Sonic threw the hedgehog plushie at the egg plushie to which Tailsko let go causing it to fly toward the toy box. Then Sonic and Tailsko keep on hitting the egg plushie with their plushies making punching noises then they finally stopped. "Horray! We did it! We saved the world from Dr. Egghead!" Tailsko cheered.

Sonic and Tailsko stood up and cheered loudly. "What are you two doing?" Merlin asked as he chuckled walking toward the two along with Chuck. "We were just playing uncle Merlin about me and Sonic saving the world from the evil Dr. Egghead." Tailsko answered. "Well, that's very nice but you two are standing under something right now." Merlin said. Sonic and Tailsko looked up to see that it was a mistletoe hanging above them not a real one but a plastic one. Sonic and Tailsko looked at each other as they blushed as turned away bashfully they both know what someone has to do while they're under the mistletoe. Merlin and Chuck chuckled at this. "You put us up to his didn't you?" Sonic asked. "Maybe?" Chuck said.

Sonic and Tailsko just shrugged then they hugged each other and then they kissed each other under the mistletoe. After a while they let go of each other and glared at their uncle with playful anger. "Now maybe you two should kiss?" Tailsko said. Merlin and Chuck look at each other in fear and then they waved at them as they ran off to join the other adults. Sonic and Tailsko giggled at this as they turned to each other and smiled. "Merry Christmas Sonic." Tailsko said. "Merry Christmas Tailsko." Sonic said. Sonic and Tailsko hugged each other and kissed again without anyone interrupting them. It was a wonderful Christmas for everyone that day well except for the villains and Amy Rose of course what happened to them? Well, let's see shall we?

-Darkheart's House-

"A lump of coal!" Darkheart shouted as he looked into his hand holding a lump of coal. Slick and Turbo got some coals in their hands as well. "Maybe we should've been nice to Tailsko this year!" Slick said. "Yeah, maybe we should've." Turbo agreed. "Silence you fools!" Darkheart shouted at the iguana and the turtle. Darkheart was about to throw coal the two when he heard someone cleared his throat. The bullies turned to find Soar standing there with an angry look on his face. "Did you forget to shovel the snow, Darkheart?" Soar asked. "Why no? Why do you ask?" Darkheart asked. Soar lifted up his shirt to reveal a bruise on his stomach. "Ouch!" Slick and Turbo said in unison.

Soar grabbed a shovel and threw it at Darkheart causing Darkheart fall over onto the floor with a oof! "Get shoveling now!" Soar commanded. Darkheart and his goons saluted to the older eagle and ran out of the door and into the snow to do their job.

-Amy's House-

Amy growled in anger at the lump of coal she got for Christmas. "The lump of coal? I got a lump of coal for Christmas!" Amy growled in anger as she held a lump of coal in her hand. "Well Amy, that's what you get when you used my credit card without my permission." Rob said as he came out from the kitchen with a cup of cocoa in his hand. Amy frowned in sadness and looked at Rob. "Yeah, I'm very sorry Rob I guess I got carried away of using your card a lot." Amy said bowing her head in shame. Rob smiled as he knelt down to her level and patter head on the head. "Don't worry Amy since it's Christmas I'm willing to forgive you." Rob said. Amy looked up and smiled. "Really?" Amy asked. Rob nodded as he handed her a cup of cocoa she took it and sipped it. She put it down on the table and hugged her cousin.

"Thank you Rob!" Amy said. Rob returned the hug and said. "You're welcome."

-At the North Pole-

Santa made Robotnik and his goons work for him until next year to teach him the lesson about being nice to everyone around the world especially to Tailsko and her friends. Right now, Robotnik was in the workshop mopping the floor after the party the elves had celebrated for their successful toy making this year. "Grr, stupid Santa! Next year I'm going to disguised myself as the Easter Bunny!" Robotnik mumbled under his breath as he mopped the floor. He heard someone cleared his throat he turned to find Santa with an angry look on his face, arms crossed, and tapping his foot on the floor. "Less talking, more mopping!" Santa ordered as pointed to him.

"Yes sir!" Robotnik said as he saluted to him he then mopped even faster than before while Decoe, Bocoe, and Bokkun cleaned the bathroom floor. Decoe and Bocoe were sad but Bokkun was happy to be working at the North Pole. "Cheer up guys at least we're working where Santa lives!" Bokkun told the guys. Decoe and Bocoe just waved him off. Then they heard the knock to which they looked up to find the head elf with a stern look on his face. It was a male Causican-American elf with blue eyes, pointy ears, a round nose, pointy green hat, heavy-set, a brown beard, green suit with yellow buttons, red gloves, and red shoes. "Alright you bucket of bolts! It's time to clean the reindeer stables look out for Rudolph he made a big poop this year!" The head elf said.

Decoe, Bocoe, and Bokkun looked at the readers, placed their hands on their cheeks, and screamed. "AAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

The End of Chapter 12. Well, a happy end for everyone except for Darkheart, Slick, Turbo, Amy Rose, Robotnik, Decoe, Bocoe, and Bokkun that is! I hoped you all had a Merry Christmas last year and a happy New Year, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, or any other holiday you celebrated. I hope you all had some Happy Holidays! Looks like Robotnik and his goons are working for Santa now after they tried to trick Tailsko into giving her a credit card and make her his slave and now he's the slave to Santa at least until next year and Darkheart and his goons get a lumps of coal for their naughty behavior. Serves them right for being naughty this year. Sonic and Tailsko kissed under the mistletoe which is very cute of them and they make a great couple if you're a fan of SonicxTailsko that is.

Well, anyways that was a Christmas chapter! In the next chapter: Sonic found a new stand in town which was a chili dog stand who is run by his Uncle Chuck! Sonic loves the stand so much that he goes there on weekends for lunch to eat everyday but being careful not to eat too much that is he was happy to have chili dogs as much as he could. Until one day Sonic found out that Chuck is closing his stand because of his age and Robotnik is buying the stand from him which makes him angry and has to find the way to save the stand. How will Sonic save the stand? Stay tuned and find out!

Fun Fact #1: At the end of the story where Decoe, Bocoe, and Bokkun screamed while holding their faces is similar to Kevin from Home Alone movies screaming at the camera while holding their faces they something goes wrong. Even more funny when Kevin puts on some aftershave in the bathroom and screams after putting it on while showing the outside of the house. It's just so funny!

Fun Fact #2: Stripes-ZZZ Zebra's is the parody name of the JC Penny's store.

Fun Fact #3: The head elf at the end of this story is reference to the Head Elf from Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer from Rankin-Bass movies.

Fun Fact #4: McDoodle's is the parody name of McDonald's restaurant.

Fun Fact #5: Tomato Hippo is the game from the Sonic Boom cartoon series and three games that Tailsko bought with her card are parodies of Sonic Lost World, Sonic Mania, and Sonic Forces. I thought it would be funny to add the reference to this story. Merlin Prower is Tails' uncle from Sonic comics and Chuck is from Satam Sonic but in this story he's not robotized by Robotnik he's his normal self in this story! Also Sonic returning the stuff to the mall after Tailsko used up her credit card and bringing back the money is cartoon logic since it can't happen in real life but since it's the cartoon and someone returns the stuff and got the money back from it in cartoons anything is possible.

Fun Fact #6: The book that Tailsko was reading was a reference to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Read and Review please! NO FLAMES ALLOWED! Thank you, Merry Christmas to all and to all the good night.
