City
1:30 p.m.
The Day Before Cinco de Mayo
In the midst of the unnamed city, Sonic and friends are helping the citizens set up for the upcoming Cinco de Mayo festival. Amy is dancing around happily as she helps put decorations in place.
Amy: "Oh, what a wonderful feeling! Setting up decorations and preparing all kinds of cultural meals with my friends for a citywide Cinco de Mayo festival!"
To her side, Blaze flips down off a ladder after setting up lights, Amy approaching to congratulate her.
Amy: "Blaze, your agility and acrobatics really come in handy for hanging up those lights!"
Blaze: "Thank you, Amy. My skills and wisdom are what carry us all."
Amy: "No problem!"
The pink hedgehog then turns to Knuckles whose hand framing objects in the meal prep tent.
Amy: "Knuckles, your preparation is wholly superb!"
Knuckles: "Don't mention it! My workout prep makes me a mean lean fighting machine!"
He flexes his muscles much to Amy's annoyance.
Amy: (annoyed) "Not what I meant, Knuckles!"
Knuckles: "Eh, I still need work!"
The echidna shrugs as Amy walks away towards Tails whose standing in the middle of a tent managing a remote control.
Amy: "Tails, how's setting up the chairs and other stuff going?"
Tails: "Everything's working great! My assistant worker bots are up and working just fine! They'll make it fast and easy for all of us!"
Nearby where they stand, a small infantry of crab-like worker bots is working to set up the chairs inside the tent.
Amy: "Now isn't that a bit lazy considering your wit and intellect?"
Tails: "It's a fine solution if I say so myself."
Amy: "As long as you're putting enough work into building and making them do the work, then I guess it's okay."
Tails smiles as Amy walks toward Sonic who's sitting out on a lone chair for some reason.
Amy: "Sonic, why are you seated all the way out here not helping us?"
Sonic: (unconcerned) "Who says I need to help? Besides, this isn't really my kind of party."
Amy: "If this isn't your kind of party, then why are you here? [facepalms] Oh, nevermind that stupid question. I'm just a little… high strung is all."
Sonic: "It's fine, Amy. I'm just chilling."
Amy: "Why on a day like today then?"
Sonic: "'Cause this stuff just isn't that cool."
Amy: "Not cool? Why not?"
Sonic: "I just don't see how taco salad, sombreros, and Mariachi bands are all that 'cool', it just... doesn't seem essential to my kind of culture. Cool to me is like chips and dip, baseball caps, and rock bands and stuff."
Clearly offended, Amy turns around and keeps her anger handicapped for the time being. She then turns back to face Sonic reassuringly.
Amy: "Sonic, I know you may not see this as your ideal kind of cool right now, but why not give it a try when the festival commences tomorrow?"
Sonic: (stretching) "Yawn! I just don't see the point. I'll either get bored or just straight up embarrass myself. Just save me all that and let me stay home to host my own party."
Amy: "Awww, but that would be no fun! (Plus it would also steal a lot of guests away.) Just feel free to join us and see what you think! You might end up loving it just as I do!"
In anticipation of his answer, Amy gives a starry-eyed expression while Sonic assumes a thinking position.
Sonic: "Fine, but when it comes time for my birthday, you owe me."
Amy: (punching air) "YES!"
Building top
1:35 p.m.
Using binoculars, Eggman is spying from afar on the festival being set up when suddenly he notices Tails' crab-like worker bots and takes notes. Orbot and Cubot are hovering next to him, eagerly anticipating what the doctor has in store.
Orbot: "Boss, are we playing a game of 'I spy with my little eye'?"
Cubot: (loudly) "Ooh! I wanna play! Let's see… I spy with my little eye… something… red and fat!"
Eggman: "You two, quiet! Better keep this one under wraps or my cover will be blown!"
Orbot: "Sorry, boss. It's not my fault!"
Cubot: "Is too! You made me talk in the first place!"
The two robots continue to bicker while Eggman sighs, annoyed.
Cinco de Mayo Festival
5:00 p.m.
The Day of Cinco de Mayo
Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Blaze are walking through the street in their best Hispanic attire. Amy and the others look around "oohing" and "awing" at their surroundings while Sonic rolls his eyes in dread.
Amy: "What a joyous occasion! The music, the culture, the food, everything! Who wants to try my specially made salsa at the snack booth?"
Taking the group's notice, Amy points over toward the snack booth where her salsa sits being enjoyed by humans eating chips with it.
Knuckles: "I'm all in!"
Tails: "Me too!"
Blaze: "What I wouldn't give to try your treats, Amy!"
Meanwhile, Sonic just slumps and accepts the fact that his friends are all trying it.
Sonic: (disinterested) "Fine, I guess I will."
Hoping to get him to perk up, Amy hits Sonic on the back in excitement.
Amy: "That's the spirit, Sonic! Keep that up and we'll have you enjoying Cinco de Mayo in no time!"
Sonic simply rolls his eyes and proceeds to take a chip, scoop some salsa in it, and eat it disinterestedly. Tails, Blaze, Knuckles, and Amy, on the other hand, are enjoying it along with everybody else.
Knuckles: "Mmm! This salsa is delicious!"
Amy: "Made it state of the art just as I know you all like it!"
Tails: "No wonder my mouth's jumping with joy! It's almost like somebody put Mexican Jumping Beans in this!"
Amy: "Funny you should say that, Tails, because that happens to be my secret ingredient!"
Hearing this, Tails takes a bottle of water and spits it out.
Tails: "Seriously?"
Amy: "Haha, just kidding! Those aren't even edible anyway!"
Tails: [awkward laugh] "Some trickster you are, Amy!"
Knuckles leans in toward Tails, curious to hear what he has to say.
Knuckles: "Where'd you get that water bottle you just pulled out of nowhere?"
Tails: "I carry it with me in case I ever need to do a spit take. I'd rather do that than spit out whatever it is I'm eating. There's less to clean up that way."
Knuckles: (sarcastically) "Right, I mean. Everyone knows how much of a messy eater you are!"
Unwilling to hear/see Tails' reaction, Knuckles turns to face the Mariachi band playing in the background. From there, he notices an unused pair of Maracas sitting on the ground.
Knuckles: "Hey, look! Maracas!"
The echidna speeds off to pick up the Maracas and join the band.
Knuckles: (to the band) "Ready? On three! One… Two…"
The band begins to play music in unison with one another, Knuckles joining in by shaking his Maracas, adding a bit of flavor to the song that impresses the audience.
Meanwhile, Sonic leans against the table, bored. Just then, Amy walks up to him.
Amy: "So then, how's the festival treating you, Sonic?"
Sonic: (disinterested) "It's good food, I'll give you that, but I really don't care for the music they have playing."
Amy: "Awww, cheer up, Sonic! Surely there must be something at the festival you'll enjoy! Just stick around a while and maybe you'll find it!"
Sonic: [sighs] "Okay, but I can't make any promises."
Amy: "Trust me when I say you'll soon find you love this culture so much you'll wish it would never go away!"
Later on, Sonic and co. come across some Mexican dancer dancing flashily in front of the crowd. Amy points to them enthusiastically, while Sonic folds his arms looking away much to her being crestfallen. Soon after, Amy is looking at some handmade artifacts, picking out which one she likes best and shows them all to Sonic. Sonic nods disapprovingly to which she sighs. Elsewhere, in the center of the festival, Tails is seen presenting his crab-like worker bot to those attending the festival before it turns to shoot up a series of fireworks out of its hide much to the audience's amazement. Sonic and Amy stand at a distance with Amy oohing, awing, and begging Sonic to come with her. For a change, he shrugs and joins her much to her excitement.
Meanwhile, inside Hedgehog Manor, Shadow watches the fireworks from his room in disgust wondering what Sonic must be up to.
Cinco de Mayo Festival
8:00 p.m.
Sonic and Amy are seated with their friends trying out a Mexican meal in the midst of the restaurant crowd. Amy is excited while Sonic eats slowly.
Amy: "See, Sonic? The Cinco de Mayo culture and such isn't so bad! [pushes his plate toward him] Come on, try your taco salad! It's like a chili dog, but richer!"
Sonic stares at his plate, still remaining somewhat shy about eating it. He pushes it away.
Sonic: [sigh] "I don't know, Amy. I'm not really that hungry and it doesn't really look that appetizing. What I wouldn't give for a chili dog right now."
Amy: "Hey now, Sonic, you liked the fireworks. Why not this?"
Sonic: "The fireworks were actually cool. Plus it was Tails' invention, which I always adore no matter the outcome."
Amy: "Just take a bite and then we can go do the Mexican Hat Dance over there!"
Eagerly, Amy turns Sonic to face the dance floor where a couple is finishing up their extravagantly romantic Mexican Hat Dance routine. Soon as they finish, the audience watching cheers and shouts.
Sonic: [sigh] "Fine, but this might be the only time I ever try taco salad."
Sonic tries a bite of his taco salad and chews it thoroughly to make sure he likes it, which he does after a couple seconds.
Sonic: (chewing) "...Maybe that's… not bad! Could use a little bit more of a kick, but I might give it another bite."
Suddenly, a device Tails has been carrying beeps on the table alerting him to something wrong as he looks at it and grins.
Tails: "Oh no… [he turns to face his friends] Sorry, guys. My worker bots on the premise seem to be acting up a little. I'm… gonna go check on them for a bit. You all enjoy your food!"
Hurriedly, Tails gets up and runs away while everyone stares at him.
Knuckles: (waving) "Don't forget, we still have the Mexican Hat Dance here in a bit!"
Somewhat enthused, Sonic turns to Amy.
Sonic: "So… about that taco salad-"
Amy puts her hand to Sonic's mouth shushing him.
Amy: "Save that thought for later! Right now it's our turn to try out the Mexican Hat Dance!"
Amy pulls Sonic out of his chair and rushes him over to the dance floor.
Sonic: "WHOA!"
Ever so enthusiastically, Amy stands facing Sonic as she applies the hat to him.
Sonic: (uncomfortable) "Amy, I don't know about this. I don't even know this dance and I'm not even sure this makes me look that cool either."
Amy: "Just follow my lead and you should be fine!"
Sonic: "What?!"
The first note of the Mexican Hat Dance music commences, forcing Amy to begin the routine and she steps near to Sonic who awkwardly holds her by his side.
Sonic: (whispers awkwardly) "Is it supposed to be this romantic?"
Amy: "Yes! Now hush up and dance!"
The notes begins to play as Amy dances to the side, Sonic awkwardly following on the opposite side of her.
Amy: "Tap your feet, Sonic! The audience loves a good tap dancer!"
Sonic: "Er-okay…"
Ever so awkwardly, Sonic begins tapping his feet out of sync with the song, looking embarrassed about doing this up in front of everybody.
Sonic: "Are you sure this is really appropriate?"
Amy: "Yes! Now hold me!"
Sonic: "Wait, what?!"
Awkwardly, Sonic passes by Amy as he holds her, closely touching his nose to her's.
Sonic: (desperate) "I really don't know about this!"
The audience begins clapping to the song as Sonic and Amy continue to dance to it, Amy remaining perfect in her steps whilst Sonic could care less if he's doing it right. During the part where they get closer to one another, Sonic accidentally steps on Amy's foot as she yelps over him not knowing what he's doing.
Sonic: "Sorry!"
While spinning around, Sonic accidentally bumps his hat into the nearest patron walking passed him and brushes against them much to their annoyance.
Sonic: "My bad!"
Sonic continues to dance awkwardly, becoming flustered about all the people staring at him as he accidentally backs into Amy.
Amy: "Watch it!"
Sonic: "My fault! I really don't know what I'm doing!"
The excited crowd becomes to ecstatic to a point where many of them raise their drinks carelessly, one in particular causing the contents of his glass to pour out onto the dance floor near where Sonic's dancing. The floor suddenly full of water and ice, Sonic incidentally slips on it and tumbles. Everyone gasps at the sight of the fallen Sonic as the music stops.
Amy: "I'm really sorry, Sonic! Let's help you up!"
Amy reaches to help Sonic up as he rejects her offer by pushing her hand aside.
Sonic: (angry) "I think you've done enough!"
Amy: (shocked) "What?"
Sonic: (annoyed) "First you force me to come to this stupid festival, then you make me watch stupid dances, look at stupid artifacts, try stupid food, and now you make me try this stupid dance without any prior knowledge?"
Everyone gasps.
Sonic: (shrieking) "This culture just isn't cool! I quit!"
Sonic throws his hat onto the floor, brushing past Amy as she gawks at him speeding off.
Soon after, Tails runs back to the scene and walks over to Amy.
Tails: "Hey, Amy! What'd I miss?"
Amy: (welling up) "Sonic just called this festival stupid and uncool… And I… I just…"
Amy breaks down crying as Tails tends to him.
Building top
8:15 p.m.
Ever so sneakily, Eggman continues to watch Sonic speeding off toward the city limits through binoculars from the same building top he was on before.
Eggman: "How convenient. Sonic's leaving the festival just as I had planned to activate the override chip in Tails' worker bots he left sitting around the place after setting up!"
Orbot: "But, boss, when did anyone ever see you implanting override chips in those robots as of yet?"
Eggman: "Well, Orbot, I'm much sneakier than one may think!"
Cubot: "Do it, boss!"
Clutching a switch in his hand, Eggman presses the button atop it as it beeps.
Cinco de Mayo Festival
8:16 p.m.
Amy, Tails, Knuckles, and Blaze are seen walking through the dying festival crowd, Amy looking rather sad from her previous encounter.
Blaze: "Cheer up, Amy. If you know Sonic well enough, he always comes back around."
Amy: (sad) "I don't know, Blaze. Tonight was my one chance to show Sonic what all I'm into and I feel like I blew it."
Blaze: (calm) "Shhh, none of it was your fault. He just blew a short fuse was all. I'd give it time is all."
Suddenly, Tails' worker bot tracker begins to beep like crazy, alerting him to pick it up.
Tails: "My worker bot readings are off the charts! They must be going haywire!"
Nearby stands one of the worker bots bolted with electric charges as it takes off flying proceeding to fire lasers toward everyone standing nearby. The crowd scatters in horror as it flies along the street ahead.
Tails: "Whoa! That wasn't supposed to happen! What's going on?"
The crowd screams as the lone worker bot is joined by several others flying and wreaking destruction. Before he can get into a defensive stance, Tails is swooped up by one of his own worker bots as he accidentally drops the device he was carrying. The robot then flies him up near the top of a building.
Tails: "Hey! Take it easy!"
From its inner compartments, the robots rolls out a ticking time bomb that's set to explode Tails in a matter of minutes.
Back on the ground, Knuckles stands in a defensive stance, swiping several punches at the oncoming reprogrammed worker bots, but is unable to land any hits on them. Soon after, he, too, gets scooped up by one of them and struggles to break free as it threatens to explode him. Being the only ones left, Amy and Blaze have drawn their weapons/defenses in an effort to ward off the havoc-causing robots.
Amy: "Me and you, Blaze?"
Blaze: "Until the end!"
Amy takes several swings at the worker bots as they fly by, but misses all of them and shrugs. Blaze, on the other hand, aims a bunch of her fire shots toward the haywire worker bots, but they are just too fast for her to land a shot on. Suddenly, Amy is whisked out of her position and brought to a high area followed by Blaze as the two of them struggle to break free before they are dropped.
Amy: "I'm gonna feel bad for asking this, but… Sonic! We need you!"
Hedgehog Manor
8:25 p.m.
Having ran all the way home, Sonic turns around to notice explosions setting off in the distance. Feeling upset, he decides to turn back to help his friends.
Cinco de Mayo Festival
8:27 p.m.
Amy, Blaze, Tails, and Knuckles remain suspended in the air, each of them clinging for dear life to their overturned worker bots despite the imminent threat of being dropped/exploded.
Amy: "How are we ever going to reach Sonic like this?"
Tails: "I dropped my communicator down there. If only I could just reach for it somehow…"
From where she hovers restrained, Blaze spots a blue blur running in the distance.
Blaze: "All is good, guys! Help is on the way!"
Sonic is running through the crowd of people when a swarm of worker bots turns to attack him, pointing their laser cannons directly at him. The hedgehog looks over his shoulder to witness this and proceeds to jump soon as they fire onto the ground on which he stands. He then streaks several Homing Attacks across them causing them to fall to the ground intact. Turning around, Sonic smirks and swipes across his nose before running ahead into the chaos. Turning up, Sonic stops and notices all his friends all suspended in the air.
Sonic: "Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Blaze!"
Hearing his voice, Amy and the others look down from where they're hovering.
Amy: "Sonic, you came for us!"
Sonic: "Oh my gosh, guys, I am so sorry!"
Amy: "Save the apologies for later! Focus on getting us down now!"
Sonic: "Will do!"
Sonic speeds off, proceeding to jump onto a nearby flying worker bot. Taking control of its antennas, Sonic turns the robot to direct it upward toward where his friends are and flies nearest to them. Sonic then holds out a hand to Tails and Knuckles whose imminent threats are bombs.
Sonic: "Tails, Knuckles! Grab on!"
Tails then holds out a hand and grabs onto Sonic, freeing him from the robot's restraints as Knuckles does the same with Tails' foot. The two of them fly and glide back to safety on the ground whilst Sonic turns around and notices the bots launching their bombs at him. In retaliation, Sonic rolls into a ball and deflects the bombs sending them flying into the sky where they explode. Not looking at the explosion, Sonic lands on top a nearby building and smirks.
From the ground, Tails and Knuckles are staring up at Blaze and Amy who are still being held captive by the robots.
Knuckles: "Well, this isn't looking too good. How are we gonna save Blaze and Amy ourselves?"
Tails: "Well, how else, Knuckles? You and I can both fly and you can climb!"
Knuckles: "Oh, right! So then how about a strategy?"
Tails: "We'll just have to make it up as we go. Come on!"
Tails takes off forcing Knuckles to grab onto his legs along for the ride. After Tails carries him a certain height, Knuckles jumps off and grabs onto a nearby building, positioning himself behind the robot that's carrying Blaze as it scans its surroundings. Suddenly, the robot's radar picks up a blip behind him signaling him to turn around and notice Knuckles the last second before its camera goes out. Knuckles then tackles the worker bot as it accidentally drops Blaze thus forcing Tails into action when he swoops low to catch her in his arms.
Blaze: "As much as I dislike relying on others, I am grateful for your aid, Tails."
Tails: (giggles) "No worries!"
Above them, Knuckles continues to wrestle with the blind robot, directing it in different directions until it collides with the bot that's holding Amy. Most alarmingly, Amy is dropped and closes her eyes as she falls toward the ground until a blue blur that is Sonic swoops in and saves her. Amy opens her eyes and finds, much to her relief, that Sonic caught her, breaking her fall as they land on the ground.
Amy: "Thanks, Sonic!"
Sonic: "Don't mention it! You okay?"
Amy: "Never better!"
Having dealt with the robot, Knuckles lands in front of them, his arms stretched out in a T-pose.
Knuckles: "Nothing like a little robot wrestling to warm this guy up!"
Sonic: "Couldn't agree more, Knux! But why are they all acting up this way? And how do we convert them back?"
To everyone's surprise, the worker bots begin converging to the same location nearby where Sonic and the rest stand.
Tails: "What? What's this?"
To the least of their surprises, Eggman hovers in to set himself on top the tower of worker bots standing before them.
Eggman: "Guess who just decided to crash this pest-ridden party!"
All: (annoyed) "It's Eggman. Of course!"
Sonic: "You just can't go quiet, not even for a holiday! Can you?"
Eggman lets out a bellowing evil laugh, effectively silencing all who watch before him.
Eggman: "How observant of you, Sonic! All I'm doing is simply converting Tails' worker bots into an armored mech resembling my image so that I could create ashes of this city upon which I will build the Eggman Empire!"
Sonic: "A nice dream, Egghead! But you can't even think of a name for this one?"
Eggman awkwardly assumes a thinking position.
Eggman: "Well-er-not this time. Not when my plan is so obvious it doesn't even take naming it for you to know what I'm up to!"
Tails: "Wow! For you even that's low, Eggman!"
Eggman: (growls) "Silence! Not only am I planning to obliterate everything in sight, but, once I've made quick work of this city, not even the cultured mess that is Cinco de Mayo will remain once I've created "Eggman Day" in its place!"
Amy: "How absurd! Eggman, if you only knew how special the culture is surrounding Cinco de Mayo then surely you would understand the meaning of how dear it is to those who celebrate it! If you take that away, you won't like what you get!"
Eggman: "Who cares, Missy? As soon as I own the world, there will be nothing stopping me from obliterating all cultures everywhere! Everything will be cool and smart for a change!"
Hearing this, Sonic's face turns from concerned to serious. His words sound almost exactly like his when he last stormed out of the festival, hurting his friends, especially Amy. Knowing this could be him, he simply can't bear to listen any longer.
Sonic: "Listen, Eggman! If you don't shut that big mouth of yours, I'm gonna make quick work of that robot like I always do! Because this here's a culture worth saving an preserving for years to come!"
Eggman: "Less arguing, more fighting! TAKE THIS!"
Eggman raises a leg of the robot, its shadow appearing over the group as they are forced to scatter in different directions. Eggman then morph's the robot's hands into machine gun-like lasers and proceeds to fire towards Sonic and Blaze who are running away together. From beside him, Orbot roots for Eggman rather avidly.
Orbot: "Yes, boss! Strike them down! Become more powerful than you can imagine!"
Eggman slaps Orbot, commanding him to shut up.
Eggman: "Quiet or its your turn to get lasered!"
Outside, Eggman continues to fire onto Sonic and Blaze until he turns to notice Tails, Knuckles, and Amy hammering away at his leg.
Eggman: "What?! Stay out of my way!"
Eggman controls the robot to swipe them all away prompting everyone, but Tails to hop out of the way. Tails is blown back to where his control device landed and looks to the side to notice it lying there still intact.
Tails: "Bingo! My remote!"
From a distance, Blaze fires a bunch of fireballs at Eggman's robot all of which are deflected by swipes of his hand. Eggman then returns fire at Blaze who backflips out of the way. Little does Eggman see Sonic running up the building adjacent to him as he leaps off the wall and onto his arm. Once he makes contact, however, Eggman notices.
Eggman: "What?! Get off me!"
For a moment, Eggman wiggles his arm in an effort to throw Sonic off, but Sonic clings on for dear life until he's done. Once he's finished shaking, Sonic rolls his way up the rest of the arm and makes contact with Eggman's cockpit, knocking the robot back.
Eggman: "Ow!"
Eggman's robot collides with a building nearby, the robot then bending over to clutch the back of its swollen head. Lashing out, Eggman prepares to fire another round of lasers when, suddenly, Knuckles swoops in, knocking the robot's trajectory away from where Sonic's running. The robot thrown off, Knuckles lands on the ground next to Sonic and the two nod at each other in approval. Sonic then grabs a hold of Knuckles' hand and the echidna throws him up toward Eggman's cockpit where he lands a couple of Homing Attacks before leaping off to land on the building.
Eggman: "A nice maneuver, Sonic, but these robots serve as protective armor to my cockpit. You cannot hope to damage it on your own!"
Suddenly, a robot covering Eggman's cockpit begins to break off and reform on its own.
Eggman: (confused) "What?!"
The robot begins to fly away.
Eggman: "No wait! Come back!"
As Sonic, Amy, Knuckles, and Blaze watch, one by one, each and every worker bot begins to separate itself from the mold they built around Eggman, flying or crawling down from where they were stationed.
Eggman: (desperate) "Why is this happening?! NO! My beautiful mech centerpiece!"
On the ground, Tails is now holding his communicator and fiddling with several buttons and switches to make the worker bots listen to his command. Like before, Eggman notices and is shocked.
Eggman: "Tails?!"
Orbot: "But, of course, it was the Fox Boy!"
Cubot: "I mean who else could it be, really?"
With a smirk on his face, Tails now finds himself surrounded by worker bots facing Eggman as he hovers mechless ahead of them.
Tails: "Good thing I programmed this little anti-Eggman override key into my worker bots in case I needed to use it."
Tails then fiddles with one more switch and points at Eggman.
Tails: "Worker bots, run this fat man out of town!"
Shocked and frightened, Eggman holds up a hand in protest.
Eggman: "What? N-no, STOP!"
Cubot: "Forget it, boss! It looks like we have no other choice, but to… RUN!"
Eggman turns his hovercraft around and flies the other way with Orbot and Cubot following just ahead of the worker bots that are now flying them towards the city limits.
Eggman: "CURSE YOU, TEAM SONIC!"
From where he stands, his friends surrounding him, Sonic holds up a fist in excitement over Eggman's defeat. Behind them the crowd begins to emerge from their hiding places.
Sonic: "That should teach you to mess with my little bro's machines over here!"
Tails: "You tell him, Sonic!"
Sonic: "Well, if it weren't for your brains (and, frankly enough, my brawn) we wouldn't have stood a chance against this one. Thanks, Tails!"
Tails: (giggles) "Don't mention it!"
Sonic and Tails fist bump. Sonic then turns to Amy standing nearby.
Sonic: "Hey, listen. I wanna say I'm sorry for losing my cool earlier. I hope you can forgive me."
Amy: [lays a hand on his shoulder] "Forgiveness in whole, Sonic. It would have taken too long for me to train anyone else… besides you, I mean."
Sonic: "Well, whatever that means, I must say you were right; this culture is something to be appreciated by many, especially those of Hispanic origin. And were it not for Eggman vowing to get rid of it himself, I never would have seen the value of appreciating something that could potentially disappear with time. So, thanks, Amy… for opening me up to something new and cool!"
Happy as could be, Amy sheds a tear down her eyelash.
Amy: (sad happy) "Thanks, Sonic! Those are the most… genuine words I've ever heard you speak! You're just so… Sweet!"
Ever so happily, Amy leaps into Sonic's arm as he revolts back in shock.
Sonic: "Don't mention it, Amy."
Sonic sinks into Amy's embrace, returning her hug. Tails and Blaze, who are standing right beside them, both react in awe of the scene unfolding before them.
Meanwhile, Knuckles is in the background on the dance floor from earlier attempting to do the Mexican Hat Dance all by himself.
Knuckles: "Anybody wanna be my partner?! It's a little hard to dance by myself!"
