Tails, the two-tailed fox, here. One day, we've been experiencing technical difficulties with our computers, and we stood by. This day (or so) was a story about how a special malware, disguising itself as a computer boosting software, destroyed everyone's PC games, especially what my crew and I had developed. No, I'm not referring to Sonic the Hedgehog, Knuckles the Echidna, Amy Rose, and Sticks the Jungle Badger, but rather another team consisting of some old friends of mine who I took to school. Anyway, we were then forced to play a blatant rip-off of our game, cruder than oil.
But before this incident had happened, it all started when my bandaged friends were simply playing volleyball, like in any other day in Bygone Island, just without me.
"Hey, Knuckles!" yelled Sonic, jumping before serving the ball. "Heads up!"
In response, the big red echidna hit the ball, literally using his head. "Good thing I have a hard head!" he moaned with his eyes rolling.
After watching the ball fly away, an unamused Amy replied, "How realistic, Knuckles. You must have sacrificed brain volume for a thicker skull."
He rubbed his head. "It's a double-edged sword, a curse and a blessing."
Sometime later, I got out of my workshop and visited my friends during their game. Bringing my laptop, I wanted to show them my game I've downloaded, mainly because Sonic and Knuckles are known for their Couch Potato Saturdays, where they spend hours playing video games. "Hey, guys! Check out this game! Some other friends and I developed it for quite some time!"
Sonic scoffed, "Look, if this is another educational or puzzle game you made or bought, like the last five you showed us, we're still not interested."
Yep. I remember showing all of those games like Brain World, 4096, Sevens, which inspired 4096, Construct-a-Chain, and of course, Too Wrong to Be Right (a critical thinking game), all in one day. At the post office:
"Check out Brain World!" I exclaimed, showing up with my laptop. "Doesn't this look like a cool game?"
"Pfft, not interested," replied the blue hedgehog, holding a pink envelope.
At Meh Burger, where we normally eat lunch:
"Check out 4096!" I exclaimed, showing up with my laptop again. "Maybe this one looks like a cool game?"
"Once again, not interested," replied the blue hedgehog, scarfing a chili dog.
At the library:
"Check out Sevens," I whispered, showing up with my laptop for the third time. "50 millions users bought it for a reason!"
"Shh-h-h!" shushed Amy, while reading a novel.
At Fennec Shopkeeper's market:
"Construct-a-Chain has received very positive reviews!" I exclaimed, showing up with my laptop for the fourth time, which resulted in my gang frowning even harder.
"Twice again, not interested," groaned Sonic.
"What kind of pinball moves in a path by itself!?" shrieked a frightened Sticks. "Do aliens make them?"
"No," I answered.
At the DangerCo. Deadly Equipment Warehouse:
"...Too Wrong to Be Right?" I suggested nervously, grinding my teeth and holding my cell phone.
My friends were really, really annoyed on that time. "TAILS! Stop it already!"
"I'm always too wrong to be right," muttered Knuckles, crossing his arms.
