Tails' Workshop, Kitchen

"So now you just put the bread into the toaster," Tails said. He was teaching Sticks how to make toast.

"This is the bread, right?" Sticks asked, holding up the bread.

"Correct," Tails said. Sticks put the bread in the toaster. Tails' watch started ringing.

"Arrh! What is that high-pitch?" Sticks asked, covering her ears.

"Sorry. It's just my friend calling me," Tails explained. He presses the screen. "Tails here."

"Hey Tails. Sonic here," Sonic said. "I've got Knuckles, Amy and Cream here to help me against the Egg Army in your Zone. You coming?"

"I would love to but…" Tails said. He looked at Sticks with the toaster. Sticks had her head over the toaster, looking into the machine. Suddenly, the toast came out, hitting her in the face. "Sticks needs some help with all this modern getting use to."

"I understand," Sonic said. "See you soon, buddy."

Other-side of Wood Zone

Sonic hung up on the call.

"So is Mr. Tails going to help us?" Cream asked.

"Sorry but no. He's too busy with his new friend," Sonic said.

"You would he would help, judging that we're saving his home," Knuckles said. "I'm leaving the Master Emerald for this!"

"When don't you leave the Master Emerald?" Amy asked. "And besides, I think it's great that Tails has a new friend he's helping. Of course, the expert of love I am, I can tell that Tails had a bit of a crush on his "Sticks" friend but is just shy to say his feelings, like a certain hedgehog I know." Amy leaned over to Sonic. Sonic sighed.

"Let's just stop the Egg Army, then let Amy help Tails with his shyness or whatever it is," Sonic said. He looked through the bushes to see the Egg Army. "Looks like they just got a shipment of Egg Fighters and Egg Launchers!"

"Correct, Hedgehog!" a voice came from behind him. Sonic turned around, only to see his friends tied up and that they were surrounded by Egg Soldiers and Egg Shooters. Clove and Cassia walked out of the crowd. Cassia pointed a gun at Amy.

"Stand down, Hedgehog," Clove said. "One wrong move and my sister's finger may just slip while on that trigger.

"I get trigger happy when I'm excited!" Cassia said. Sonic smiled. He boosted into all of the robots and soldier then kicked Cassia in the face, making her fall. While Clove was helping her up, Sonic untied his friends. They then ran back the way the came.

"Stupid hedgehog!" Cassia yelled. "Lemme at him!"

"No. Let them run." Clove smiled. "If they run away from Wood Zone, their not our problem but if they stay, they're just going to be cut up into tiny little pieces in this deforestation."

Tails' Workshop, Living Room

Tails sat in his armchair, watching as was trying to find a spot she liked. She stiffed every spot to check for traps or something, sat in all of them to which was the most comfortable. She walked over to Tails.

"Can I check that spot?" she asked. Tails stood up to let her sit there. She seemed to like that spot. Tails sat elsewhere.

"I was thinking that today, we would visit a small town near here…" Tails suggested. "Well, medium size town away."

"I don't know…" Sticks said, rubbing her arm.

"Come on. I promise that I won't let anyone hurt you," Tails said.

That night, Spagonia, Movie Rental

When Sticks entered, she didn't know what to think. She was scared of the tall buildings and all the people staring at her. But when night came, she came to love the all the lights and music that played around the town. Tails took Sticks into a Movie Rental Store. Tails explained to Sticks what a movie was and how a TV worked, since she didn't get it last time.

"I'll let you pick what movie you want us to watch tonight," Tails said. Sticks looked around the store, wondering what she should picked. There were so many categories. Action, Comedy, Sci-Fi, Kids. She then spotted the one category that she felt she had to pick a movie from. Romance. She didn't know why. She didn't even know what that word meant. She looked at what movies were available. One caught her eyes. It was called, "Chao in Space: Chao in Love." She picked it up and walked over to Tails to show.

"Ooooh! I haven't watched that one yet," Tails said. He and Sticks walked over to the counter to rent the movie. It was Dave the Intern at the counter.

"We would like to rent this, please," Tails gave the box to the Dave, who looked at it.

"Rubbing it in, are you, just because you have a girlfriend and I don't?" Dave asked.

"Girlfriend?" Tails asked, blushing.

"What does he mean by that?" Sticks asked. "I'm scared…" Sticks grabbed Tails arm.

"I'll grab the disk for this," Dave sighed. "When my boss finds out, that's going to be another job I'll be fired from…"

Outside the Rental Store

Tails and Sticks walked out with their movie in a plastic bag.

"What did he mean by girlfriend?" Sticks asked. Tails' face started going red.

"Well, you see, when a boy loves a girl and the girl loves them back, their considered boy and girlfriends," Tails explained. "That is called a relationship."

"And what does love mean?" Sticks asked.

"Love means… when you really like someone that much, you want to be with them for the rest of your life… when around that person, you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. And you want to hug and, even, kiss that person."

"Wow… love sounds great!" Sticks said.

"It sure does… but sometime, that person who you love doesn't love you back… and that really hurts if they don't…" Tails explained.

"Do they punch you?" Sticks asked, horrified.

"Not like that kind of hurting," Tails said. "Well… sometimes they slap you in the face and run off with another dimension version of your best friend. But I meant more emotionally. For example, you may be in a relationship but because your boy/girlfriend is part of an evil alien plant race that wants to destroy the world and they are the only member apart of it that is good but then he/she sacrifices his/herself to save everyone."

"Ok…" Sticks said, confused.

"Anyways," Tails said. "I have to go the University here to get a few things.

Spagonia University, Professor Pickles' Room

Tails and Stick walked in.

"Why are we here?" Sticks asked.

"The University promised me this room after Professor Pickles died so I could do research to help Sonic and the others," Tails said. "Well, I could do that back at my workshop but it doesn't have good Wi-Fi,"

"Who's this, Professor guy?" Sticks asked.

"He helped Sonic and I and bunch of times against Eggman and gave us info the creatures Eggman tried to control," Tails explained. "Sadly, when traveling to Holoska, Eggman shot down his plane…" Tails took a minute of silent. He then picked a radar off the desk and walked out. Sticks looked up. That explains the flowers near Pickles' picture.

Tails' Workshop

Tails and Sticks sat on the couch, together, watching the movie. The two sat close together. When they realized how close they were, they moved away from each other, blushing and laughing. They looked into each other's eyes as their faces got closer. Suddenly, an explosion happened on the movie, making the two jump. The two laughed it out.

Wood Zone, Egg Army Site

Clove and Cassia were talking to Eggman via wireless signal.

"We have cut down 25% of Wood Zone, sir," Clove said.

"Excellent! I'm sure my shipment of Egg Fighters helped with that," Eggman said.

"Of course, sir," Clove said.

"Yeah! They helped burn down the forest! However, one small problem…" Cassia said. "The hedgehog and his friends came to stop us! They retreated but now it's no longer a surprise for them to find our new shiny base!"

"No matter," Eggman said. "Our defenses will the surprise!"
