Never Expecting This

Chapter 62

          Tails seemed a little more cheerful now that you were taking him everywhere. You heard the young fox chuckle and giggle with a large smile plastered on his face. T-Pup would leap and skip in delight beside you. Even though he was silent, the dog's happiness was clear to see. The adorable pup loved watching his creator smile and have fun. You enjoyed helping the kid for two reasons: First, you loved Tails. He was like a little brother to you, and you hated seeing him in distress. Secondly, you had flashbacks of the little kids you would babysit back home. Their childish antics and devious stunts could be annoying at times, but you still missed the little rugrats.

Soon, you skidded into the kitchen. Antoine would usually play the role of cook in the kitchen while wearing his famous "Kiss the Cook" apron and matching chef's hat. Today was much different. The kitchen was bare of any kind of life, and the still quiet was very unsettling. You wished the other freedom fighters would help full the room with good company, but they were still snoring and sleeping in their rooms. You would just have to fill the room with enough laughter to destroy the creepy air around you.

You helped Tails sit on a stool by the kitchen island. T-Pup hopped into the chair beside his creator as you explored the fridge. Your eyes scanned from one shelf to the next, but nothing seemed appetizing to you. You hummed to yourself in thought as wished for a delicious idea to pop into your mind. You saw cold chili dogs in plastic containers, a couple packages of different meats, several bags of fruits and vegetables, small packages of cheese, margarine, and butter, two cartons of eggs, and bottled drinks along with condiments on the door shelves.

How did Antoine cook incredible meals with such a bare fridge? You sighed in defeat as you began closing the fridge. Suddenly, a light bulb went of in your brain, and you grabbed the ingredients you needed for your dish. Eggs, cheese, ham, and butter sat on the counter, and you began grabbing water, a frying pan, plates, and a spatula. Tails looked like he was trying to piece the puzzle together and figure out what you were cooking. As you started the stove and began creating the dish, the fox understood your plan.

The delicious smell filled the room as you placed the food on two plates. The ham and cheese omelets looked perfect, except one was slightly Brown on one side. You took the imperfect dish for yourself while passing the other one to the adorable genius. He thanked you with a large smile, and you gratefully accepted it with a light grin and a "you're welcome." The two of you began to devour the homemade meal while chatting and passing laughs.
​​​​​​
You felt slightly guilty for eating food in front of poor T-Pup. You couldn't give him normal food due to his mechanical parts, though. The robot dog would make whimpering faces with his tail motionless. His small ears would fall flat as he begged with pleading eyes. You could feel your heart shatter as you continued to eat your food. You felt like the scum ofMobius as you tried to satisfy the Android with pets and pats. Sadly, your little friend continued to pout silently.

​​​​ Luckily, Tails couldn't stand the heavy feeling either. You didn't know where, but the young fox pulled out small robotic treats shaped like dog bones. They were probably designed for his canine companion. He gave his friend one of the small snacks, and after devouring the treat, T-Pup's eyes shimmered and glowed with happiness. You giggled at the adorable dog as you finished your breakfast.

"Watch this, (Y/N)," Tails said with a smile filled with excitement.

You stared in wonder and happiness as the young fox balanced one of the electronic eats on T-Pup's nose. The small robot stuck his tongue out as he stabilized his treat. You giggled and awed when watching the adorable trick. Who knew you would get a dinner and a show? Tails have his robotic pal the "okay," and the small animal tossed the treat off his nose and into his tongue. T-Pup's eyes glowed once again as his tail wagged in happiness.

"That's adorable!!" You exclaimed, rubbing the robot's head in amazement. "What other tricks does he know?"

"T-Pup knows a few, but I still need to teach him more," Tails answered as he have his pet another bone. "I made him to he like a normal dog, beside the potty training stage. I wanted to experience having a real pet, so I decided that instead of programming tricks, I would train him. T-Pup can do loads of other things, too. It makes him very useful on missions and on the Sky Patrol."

"Aww, he's stylish and functional!!" You stated as you placed the dog on your lap. The dog barked silently as you pet his back.

​​​​​~~~Time Skip brought to you by: Cream the Rabbit and Cheese the Chao. They are "Bad to the Bunny."~~~

The two of you spent the rest of the morning goofing around. You hit the Zen Garden and made drawings in the sand, found some board games, and Tails taught you some tricks in chess. He was a wizard at the game!!! You couldn't win a single game, and the fox was going easy on you and was suffering from a concussion. At least you learned a thing or two from a master. Soon, your allies and teammates began to awaken from their beauty sleep and eat breakfast.

Cream finished her food as fast as she could to help you serve. The young rabbit would make the drinks while you cooked. You did have an "over the stove chef" watching and criticizing your every move, but Antoine was always serious about cooking. After grabbing the butter instead of margarine, the French coyote decided to "help" with prepare the food. You leaned against the fridge and grabbed ingredients listed off by the swordsman as he garbed himself in his apron and hat. You held back your snickers and giggles by covering your mouth with your hands.

Breakfast was almost over, but there was one member that hadn't woken up yet: Sonic. The suspense was killing you, but you assumed he was sleeping longer in a crash. Your plan was still resting in the sole of the hedgehog's shoe, and you couldn't wait for your revenge to awaken in a burst of energy. You decided to head down to his room to check out the progress.
