Sonics POV
I admire my surroundings yet again as I finally reach my foxy friends workshop. He lives more towards the coast of green hill, which is surrounded by an army of palm trees, standing tall on top of the grainy sand, which invades every nook and cranny of the areas vast beaches. His workshop/house stands in the centre of it all, in contrast to the endless sands. It's made of a bright wood, and was built sturdy by the huts inhabitant; Tails. Tails is my best friend, and will do anything for me. I appreciate his kindness. The fluffy, cuddly looking fox has a kind personality, but don't let that fool you. He is a skilled inventor, who can even rival the genius of the Tyrannical, robot obsessed dictator, Doctor Robotnik.
"Knock knock!" I say through the peep hole, letting Tails know I'm there.
He shouts back "Doors open!" As I walk inside, I'm greeted with a room full of hammers, wrenches and other engineering equipment, as the owner of the house continues his labour.
"Still fixing the plane?" I ask, as I take a seat at a work bench.
"You bet!" He reply's, turning to look at me. "What else would I be doing?"
"I dunno! Just trying to spark a conversation." I say as he laughs.
"How's everything been since you left the resistance, sonic?" He asks me, a look of curiosity on his hairy face.
"Eh, beating up left over Badniks, fighting shadow, the usual. I saw Amy today actually, we had a chat about how stuff was going in the resistance, and all that. It's nice to be around her every now and again, even if she can get.. out of hand." I respond.
"Amy huh? Anything else happen?" Tails said with a grimace.
"Huh? What are you talking about- oh. I know what your saying you little cheeky thing!" I say, a laugh forming from my friends mouth.
"You know how I feel about Amy! She's just a really really really good friend!" I shout, a blush covering my face.
I can't let anyone know how I really feel about her. Something could happen!
"Sure Sonic, sure." Tails lets out, still chuckling about his last remark.
"How's work on the tornado been?" I ask, trying to change the subject from Amy, and segway into another conversation.
"Great actually! I gave it an extra turbine and fixed up the engine a bit! I also made It more aerodynamic in the wings and..."
I enjoy Tails and his company, but sometimes he has a tendency to blabber a little.
Nevertheless, I listened to him talk.
But I just couldn't focus.
"Sonic, your not listening." Tails says, bringing me back to reality. "Sorry Tails I zoned out and then I-"
I get cut off by Tails who, like he was reading my mind, asks me "Are you thinking about Amy?" I'm flabbergasted. How did he know what I was thinking? I belt out a fast, unconvincing denial, stating "I just.. didn't get enough sleep! Hahaha..."
Tails gives me a stern look. He was very perceptive for an eight year old.
"Look Sonic. I KNOW you like Amy. It's pretty obvious when looking at your body movements and patterns of speech. So let me give you some advice. Recently, their have been a team of so called 'love experts' who have been going around town. They are giving the ones who need it, relationship advice. I'd recommend you go to someone like them, because your shy butt is not going to be able to confess without help. Did you get all that? Because in my opinion, you need it. Not trying to be harsh, but how you react when Amy appears is not very ideal."
Tails was right. Most of the time I run away when I see her. The only reason I talked to her today was because SHE found ME. I couldn't run away and leave her feeling heartbroken like that! And she is my friend Right?
After that ted talk from Tails, My determination rose higher than before, and I was ready to find these 'love experts'
"So Tails, where will I find these supposed 'love experts?" I ask, ready to find these elusive figures of love.
"Take these posters, Sonic.They've been hanging them all over station square. I went there a few weeks ago and found these." He said as he handed me the the papers.
The paper looked like it was from a school project, and was not professionally done in the slightest. It had a png of a happy couple with the tag line 'Want to be like this happy couple? Come to our building today!' In comic sans.It had an address on it, and told to go to station square for the 'greatest advice for any love life.'
"Are you sure this is... official?" I asked Tails,after looking at the horribly made posters.
"Not really, but have you got any better ideas?" he shot back, convincing me to atleast give it a go.
"Wish me luck Tails!" I shout as I walk out the door.
Tails Waved to me with a smile on his face, before eventually retreating back into his hut to work on his project once more.
As I run to station square, I cant help but think about Amy, Tails, and the mysterious company that proclaim themselves "love experts." Why wouldn't I? It is the only thing my brain can think about, as I run to my destination. I hope these Romance professors are legit.
As I enter Station square, the tall, glistening skyscrapers cast a comically large shadow over me, as cars zoom past me. *God, Is this the fastest humans can go?* I think to myself, as I speed past the mechanical vehicles. As I cross the road, I see shocked civilians, staring at me in awe. Looks like not everyone remembers me. To them, it must be pretty weird to see an anthropomorphic Hedgehog running a mock throughout the city.
I stop at a burger place for a bite to eat. After finishing the juicy, tasty burger, I leave with a full stomach and many side eyes.
Eventually, I get to the disclosed location where I needed to be, and enter the suspicious building. It seems so shady I expect an eggman attack, but when I open the door, I see...
"Team Chaotix?!" I shout out loud.
