"Are you okay?"
"Kinda, Better now."
"Look you don't have to tell Knuckles if-"
"I can do it, takes a bit though."
"Alright, see you on the other side, sis"
"Yeah Tails! You can do this!"
"Thanks, Amy."
Amy gives her a grin. Sonic just smirks, like usual. The more things change the more they stay the same. Speaking of change…. Telling knuckles is either going to be the hardest to the easiest. He has no idea what Knuckles believes in besides loathing Rouge and protecting the master emerald. She just breathes and hopes for the best. It'll probably be fine.
"Hey Tails!"
"Hey Knuckles."
"So, you gotta tell me something?"
"Yeah… just give me a moment."
"…………….…………………………………"
"Okay…" Tails breathes. Knuckles looks intrigued.
"I'm…. A girl."
"Elaborate, please"
"I was born a boy, but I feel more like a girl, so I'm a girl."
"Oh, okay"
"……………."
"…Anything else you wanted to tell me Tails?"
"No."
"…………………………"
"How did it go?"
"It was awkward, but more because he didn't understand it more than anything else."
"Alright…. Cool…. Sooo, who's next?"
"Ummmm, Amy? Suggestions?"
"I have a few, we could get the maybe harder ones out of the way, or the easy ones…. Which way do you want to go?"
"I have no idea"
"Why is this an easy one?"
"Rouge is very accepting, she owns a club Tails"
"…What does that mean?"
"So emotionally mature, yet so stagnant in normal everyday things. Never change Tails"
"But Sonic… I have."
"Not that silly! Just be yourself. She'll accept you, trust me."
"Alright, if you say so."
"Hello, little fox."
"Hey Rouge."
"What brings you here?"
"I have to tell you something."
"Foxy, relax, everyone and their mother has a crush on me."
"No, not that. Another thing."
"Oh! Color me surprised."
"Your still the same co-"
"What did you want to tell me?"
"Oh! Right… so something changed."
"Oh! Let me guess."
"Uhhh-"
"Did you get a piercing?"
"What? No!"
"Tattoo?"
"No!"
"Hmmmm, did you get a job or something boring like that? Like saving the world for the 500th time?"
"Well given how some people have reacted, it might be boring"
"Hmmmmmm. You're definitely an interesting one, little fox. This is tough."
"Yeah, sure."
"…………………………………………………"
"So are you gonna tell me?"
"Right! Sorry…."
"It's fine! Ha! …Are you okay?"
"Yeah, it'll just take a bit."
"Oh, okay."
"……………."
"Alright." Tails says and claps her hands together which gets the attention of Rouge.
"So, I'm a girl."
"Since when?"
"Oh! Um… since I figured it out?"
"Well if it helps, I always thought you were a bit feminine"
"Thanks! That actually means a lot!"
"Well, Tails. That certainly isn't boring. Also… if you need anything, come to me. I am open for all."
"Thanks, Rouge"
"Your welcome sweetie, plus, I do like girls too, probably more than men."
Rouge left with a wink going back to her management for club rouge. Tails left, very confused and very… um…. different. It was weird. He would have to figure out his sexuality later. But he seemed to like girls.
"So… how did it go?"
"Good…. Girls are….. extremely Pretty."
"Yeah they are!" Amy says and high fives Tails.
"Ha, you girls sure like your own gender" Sonic jokes.
"IT'S NOT OUR FAULT GIRLS ARE PRETTY!" The two yell at Sonic.
"Okay, okay, geez. It was a bad joke, fine"
"Sorry Sonic."
"Its fine Tails"
"I'm not sorry"
"Yeah Amy, I know"
"So…. Who to next?"
"Okay so how is this an easy one?"
"Let's be honest, Vector and Espio are together. They have a kid together. I would say pretty obviously but, you know."
"I thought everyone knew that."
"Oh you know, some people think it's just guys being pals, or something like that"
"What?"
"Tails, it doesn't matter. Go inside and tell them"
"If you're sure…"
"I'm sure about that!"
"Okay… geez… fine…. I mean are they even going to care that much?"
"The Chaotics are friends of mine and knuckles, trust me, they will care"
"…..okay"
"Hello, Tails… Sonic said you have something to tell us" Espio says.
"Yeah, Sonic thought that you guys should know, since your…. Close to him"
"That's true, we are very close to him and knuckles. But I believe we haven't really gotten to know each other."
"Your telling me." Charmy says.
"Ha! Yeah right esp- we barley know this guy!"
"Calm yourself Vector."
"Right sorry" The Crocodile apologizes.
"So do you have a terminal disease or something?"
"Charmy!"
"I was just askin"
"Well stop that, Tails please tell us."
"Oh, right, sorry. It usually takes a moment for me."
"Why?"
"Charmy!"
"Geez, sorry"
"My apologies, Tails. He's usually better behaved that this"
"Yeah right! He always causing trouble wherever he goes!"
"Vector can we pretend we're a normal family?"
"You know we ain't n-"
"Yeah I know, but can we at least let Tails Talk?"
"Yeah… okay, sorry. Tails, please speak"
"What is this a courtroom?"
"Charmy…."
"Do we have to put his hand on a Bible or-"
"Charmy!"
"Just asking"
"Stop asking!"
"Look." Tails interrupts.
"Right! Sorry Tails! parenting is hard"
"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?"
The room erupted into chaos. Great familial bonding happening. Tails looks on, terrified. But you can't look away from this spectacle. No matter how hard you try. What a nice family.
"Uh, hey guys?" The Chaotics stop what they are doing and look to Tails.
"Can I just say what I need to say?"
"Yes I assume, that's fair. Right you too?" Espio says through his clenched teeth
"Yup" "Yes"
"Alright… so…. I'm a girl"
"Haven't you always been a girl?"
"…Charmy…"
"Yeah wait, you were a boy this entire time? Wow we really don't know you! Hahaha right E-"
"Vector… Tails, we accept you changing with open arms… As you can see there isn't much of a change, at least with these two. But no matter what. We welcome you with open arms."
"Thanks guys"
"See I told you!"
"Two of them already thought I was a girl"
"But you still confessed to three people! At the same time!"
"Yeah… I did!"
"Soon enough the whole world will know!"
"Yea- wait"
"…Sonic"
"Yup everyone will know!"
"Oh no." Tails then goes to vomit.
"Okay… How about we take a break."
