Sorry it took so long to update this chapter again, but I'm finally finished with my Kung Fu Panda fic, "Skywalker's Climb." Anyways, this is a bonding chapter between Tails and my OC character, Blitz. Hopefully, you guys will enjoy it.

Chapter 8: Talking with Tails

Later in the afternoon, Tails is hanging around the backyard of Cream's house, working on his planes, just fixing around and stuff. Then, Blitz came in and he is very surprised with what he saw, Tails fixing planes.

He gasped silently and he saw him using a screwdriver and other tools to fix his little plane. He crept silently without getting noticed, but Tails actually heard Blitz's footsteps and didn't want to look behind. He asked, "Came to help?"

Blitz froze himself and asked, "How'd you know it was me?"

"I can actually see you through my plane." Tails answered.

Blitz chuckled and said, "Figures. So, you actually work well with planes?"

"Of course. I've been involved with fixing planes with Sonic. He's the one that helps me fix every plane that needs tinkering and whatever fixing it needs, he'll always call me and ask me to fix it."

"Wow. That's cool." he said, and then he froze and saw that the little fox is so small and young to fix something like this. He asked, "And you're only....seven?"

"I'm eight."

Blitz looked up in shock and said, "Glad I asked."

"You actually don't think eight year olds should do something like this?"

"Well, I always thought they would be playing with planes and also just, pretend fixing planes and stuff like that."

"That may be true, but I bet you don't see them getting involved with them in an early age."

"Okay, how old were you when you started?"

"I got started when I was about five or six."

"What?! Are you serious, dude?"

"Completely."

"That's incredible! I always thought they wouldn't get involved until they were at least, like 18 or something."

"Well, that's my life. I'm a plane mechanic. It's kinda complicated, but at least it gives me a lot of time and it's really fun."

Blitz kinda understood a little and then, he kinda noticed that everyone calls him Tails all the time, which he slightly doesn't get. He was curious to know the story behind the nickname. He asked, "Can I ask you something?"

"I'm all ears."

"Why do your friends call you 'Tails'?"

He looked at Blitz with an embarassing look and asked, "What kind of question is that?"

"The kind that wants to be answered, like what's the story behind it? Is it a nickname or just your birth name?"

"Well, my birth name is actually Miles Prower. Although, it's a cool name, I've been born with only two tails. It's crazy, but when I was younger, I used to get teased a lot because of my two tails. After I met Sonic, he seems to be cool with the fact that I have two tails, and he actually gave me a nickname and he starts calling me 'Tails', which I gradually liked and the name stuck. So, throughout my life, my friends always calls me 'Tails', instead of Miles Prower. Even though I do like my birth name, it kinda gets boring for a while when people refer to just call me 'Miles'. So, I stuck with Tails and for the first time, I stuck with that nickname and it's actually better."

Blitz nodded his head and then, Tails looked at him with embarassment and chuckled softly and held his head and told him, "Sorry about that. I sometimes never stop talking."

"Hey, that's cool. I'm actually used to it now."

"But other than that, you want to know the reason I have two tails?"

"Kinda." he answered, nervously.

Tails sets his tools down, walks over to the center and then, he starts propelling his two tails, like a propellor and then, flies up towards the air. It surprised Blitz in million different ways and he couldn't believe what he saw. He chuckled a little and realized that it's actually a good thing.

When he got back down to the ground, Blitz stood there, amazed. He came close to him and asked, "You okay?"

"Yeah. Let me see if I have this right, you use your tails to fly around or something." Blitz said.

"Yep, that's pretty much me."

"Incredible."

"I think I need to check on this one and then, also with the Blue Typhoon."

Blitz stood there surprised and asked, "Normally, this would be against my curiousity, but what in the same hill is this 'Blue Typhoon'?"

"I'll show you. I'm almost done with this anyway."

10 seconds later...

"Okay, I'll walk you through the Blue Typhoon." Tails said.

"Wow, that was quick."

They were halfway through the other side of his place and then, they stopped at a garage. Blitz looked confused and asked, "Why am I standing at a garage?"

"What's behind this garage is really cool." Tails replied.

He held a little remote control and then, he pressed the button and the garage door opens up and by the time it's all the way up, Blitz's mouth suddenly hit the floor. He gasped silently and said, "Dang...."

"This is the Blue Typhoon."

He looked at this huge ship with propellors and several other gadgets that seems to look like a battle ship with wings. Blitz asked, "How did you guys...."

"Well, this thing brings back memories. We used this thing to defeat the Metarex."

"The meta-who?"

"The metarex are a bunch of evil robots that went over and took over every ounce of the world and they stole some planet eggs in every planet. This thing has been used in outer space and we've been in every planet to take them down and also bring back the chaos emeralds." Tails explained.

"Wow, this thing sure has a lot of history."

"Yeah, we've had some good memories there."

Then, Tails turned around and sees a picture of a green flower-like girl that really seems to be his liking. He sighs softly and holds on to it, just to reminisce some memories. Blitz turned around and asked, "You okay?"

Tails quickly turned around and saw Blitz looking kinda concerned and replies, "I'm fine."

"What's that you got holding?"

Tails then handed the picture to Blitz and saw the person there. He asked, "Who is that?"

"That's Cosmo. She's been a good friend of ours and helped us to defeat the Metarex. I know it seems kinda corny, but I used to have a little crush on her, even though I didn't want to admit it."

"So, she's like more than a friend to you?"

"Yeah. She's really special to me and I wish I would've taken the time to just say how I feel about her."

Blitz smiled a little and said, "You dog. My understanding is that you were falling for her."

Tails sighed and said, "I don't want to admit it, even though I'm only eight, but it was just a crush."

"What happened to her?"

He knew that he was still remembering that fateful moment where he pressed that button to fire at the planet to get Cosmo's clan back by destroying the Dark Oak planet and sacrifice Cosmo's life and that memory was the only one that isn't gonna be erased. He looked at him and said, "She died."

Blitz didn't know how to reply to that and said, "I'm sorry to hear that. Why did she die?"

"I'm not sure if I can tell you that."

He nodded his head and said, "I see. Well, you need any help fixing this plane? I mean, it's a huge plane."

"Yeah, I kinda do."

"Cool with me. This is the first time to work on something mechanical, but at least I'm with a little guy that knows everything about fixing planes."

Tails chuckled to himself and Blitz did the same and they went around to fix the Blue Typhoon together. At that point, Blitz felt like he's starting to bond with Tails for the first time and just talking and getting to know each other. Looks as if it'll be going really well with him being a normal teenager and everything.

Little reminiscing moment, right. Well, I have seen the 77th episode of Sonic X on YouTube, which is cool. I'm not sure which is cooler, the Japanese version or American version. I like the American version better. Hopefully, I'll get to see the whole episode when it comes on the CW 4Kids. Anyways, I'll be continuing more of this fic and I'm committed to finish it. Stay tuned for the next chapter! It'll be awesome! :)
