Chapter 3: You Can't Handle the Truth
I had set myself up for disaster. Sonic was knocking at my door, Amy would be there soon and, most importantly, I was a girl! Thinking fast, I looked around the room for something to hide my appearance. The only thing I could find was a bath robe I had used yesterday.
"Tails? Are you home, bro?" I heard Sonic say.
"Just one minute, Sonic!" I said. "I'm…uh…in the shower!"
"Tails, are you okay, buddy? Your voice sounds weird."
Then, I put on the bath robe and opened the door. "What's up, Sonic?" I said, disguising my voice.
"Whoa, Tails!" Sonic said, sounding surprised. "Looks like your invention worked, huh? You look taller!"
At that moment, I realized something important; not only was I a girl, but I was older, too! If I wanted to make it out of here with my dignity, I had to tell Sonic the truth.
"Well, it sort of worked…" I said in my new voice. "Come in for a second, Sonic. I need to tell you something."
"Um…okay?" said Sonic, looking confused.
Sonic and I walked into my workshop and I closed the door behind us. Sonic, still with a confused look on his face, asked, "Okay, Tails, what do want to tell me?"
"First, just promise me you won't freak out, okay?"
"Okay, I promise. So, what is it?"
At that moment, I pulled off my bath robe, revealing my female form. Sonic just stood there and stared in shock for seemed like 20 minutes. Then, as I knew he would, he freaked out.
"TAILS? IS THAT YOU? WHAT THE HELL?"
"You said you wouldn't freak out…" I said.
"What would you expect?" he said with concern. "My little bro is now my sis! How'd you think I would react?"
At that point, I realized I had screwed up horribly. Not knowing what else to do, my hormones kicked in and I started crying.
"I'm sorry, Sonic!" I said with a sob. "I know you told me to never test my inventions on myself, but I did anyway! I really screwed this time and…and…"
At that point, I was too sad for words. I fell to the floor on my knees, bawling my eyes out over my screw-up.
Then, I felt a warm embrace around me. When I opened my eyes, I saw Sonic hugging me, trying to calm me down like a friend would.
"It's okay, Tails…" Sonic said. "We'll make it through this, just like we always have, okay?"
"…Okay…Thank you…"
After I calmed down, we got up off the ground and I told Sonic about the situation.
"Wow. So there's really nothing you can do?" Sonic asked.
"Yeah, but Amy will be here soon. You should get outta here before-"
Suddenly, a voice screamed, "SOOOOONIIIIIIC!"
"Oh crap…I'm so dead…"
