Sonic Boom!

Tails' Crush

Penny, Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, Sticks, and Amy stood near the post office, watching Eggman talk to Leroy. Eggman grumbled at Leroy in annoyance. "I was in my evil lair all day, waiting for that package. I had to take a two-minute shower. Two minutes! And when I get out, there's a note on my front door saying I missed the delivery and I need to pick it up here! Why couldn't you just leave the thing instead of leaving the note?!"

"Because we require a signature," Leroy told him.

Eggman grumbled, took out a piece of paper, and signed it, showing it to him.

"So, can I have it?"

Leroy nodded and looked at Eggman. "Mmm-hmm. I just need the note left at your residence."

"But... I just signed for it!"

"You only have to sign for it at home. To pick it up here, you need the note that we left. Why are you complicating this, sir? It's a very simple policy."

Eggman grumbled, completely fed up with Leroy. "I have a simple policy, too. Decimator Bot, engage!"

A loud rumbling was heard, and Decimator Bot popped up and grabbed Leroy. Leroy glanced at the audience with an unamused expression. "Thuggery will not get you your package any sooner, sir."

Tails suddenly flew up, ready for action. Sonic smirked at him. "Tails, initiate Speeding Swing Surprise!"

Tails flew towards Sonic, and Sonic jumped through the air, holding his arms out to catch the glowing ray that was supposed to be lowered to him by now. However, Sonic fell in the watermelon bucket with an oof.

Amy ran at Decimator Bot and launched several attacks and Decimator Bot threw Leroy, who was luckily caught by Sticks. Sonic knocked Decimator Bot to the ground and smirked at Knuckles. "How bout' another wheelbarrow race?"

Knuckles toppled the robot like a wheelbarrow and rolled it out, laughing.

Eggman growled in annoyance. "Grrr! You haven't seen the last of me! I'll be back... with that note!" He vowed and ran off.

Sonic frowned, walking up to Tails. "Dude, what happened out there? You never miss a cue!"

Tails didn't answer, he only stared ahead with a dreamy look in his eyes. Penny glanced over at the watermelon cart where Zooey, a young yellow fox girl stood, replacing the watermelon that Sonic knocked over by accident. Zooey turned around with a smile. "Hey, Tails!"

Tails blushed. "Oh, I was going to say hi, but..." He started to use his twin tails to lift him in the air. "See you later!"

Sonic grabbed his leg with a chuckle and pulled him down. "Oh, I see what's going on here!"

"Tails has been hypnotized by man-eating tomato people?" Sticks asked.

"Orrr...Sticks, think about it this way..." Penny grinned. "Tails has a crush on Zooey!"

Tails turned to Penny, looking embarrassed. "What? Who? Zooey? No, Sticks was right. Definitely the tomato thing."

"Tails is in LOVE!" Penny cooed. "THAT IS SO ADORABLE! YOU ARE SO ADORABLE!"

"I AM NOT ADORABLE!" Tails snapped at Penny. "I-I'm serious and formidable!"

"AAAWWWW!" Penny and Sticks cooed.

"I just... don't know how to talk to her is all." Tails said, giving Zooey a dreamy yet sad look. Sonic placed a hand on Tails' shoulder. "Don't worry, pal! You're about to be enrolled in the Sonic school of impressin' the ladies!"
