Tails in: Big Hero 6

Scene 2: School

[Invigorating music starts up and SONIC staples a flyer for a student showcase over TAILS' bot-fighting flyer. SONIC turns to TAILS, who is sitting in his black swivel chair, a leaning on a hand propped up by his elbow on one of the arms of the chair, examining the flyer closely. Unlike usual, SONIC is actually not wearing his cap this time.]

SONIC: Every year, school has a student showcase. 

[Using hand gestures, still holding the stapler.] 

You come up with something that blows Eggman away, you're in. 

[He walks past TAILS to get to his bed, TAILS following SONIC's direction by turning around in the chair.] 

But, it's gotta be great.

TAILS: [turns back around in his chair to look at the flyer again, smiling] Trust me. It will be. 

[He stretches hands, cracking knuckles while pushing away from his body. TAILS proceeds to pull out a drawer to the beat of the music, revealing several spiral notebooks, a screwdriver, and a couple of golden rings. He is then seen grabbing a mechanical pencil from a small red cup with all sorts of pencils, pens, and even a red Sharpie marker inside. His tails swish to the beat and rest on either arm of the chair, and he twirls the mechanical pencil between his fingers, clicking the top to release a little bit of lead, narrowing his eyes in concentration. He grins, then flips the notebook open, but as he nears the lead to touch the paper, the music turns down and suddenly, TAILS is seen at a desk full of crumpled-up paper, where the sun filters orange light, implying that it is evening, and TAILS is banging his head against the desk, his tails sticking up, alert.]

Nothing. No ideas. Useless, empty brain!

SONIC: [on his bed, reading a book, not taking its eyes off of it, cap still off. He turns a page as he talks.] Wow. Washed up at fourteen. 

[He shakes his head] 

So sad.

TAILS: [leans back into his chair, wrapping his tails around him for comfort, staring at nothing in despair.] I've got nothing! 

[He extends his hands for emphasis, tails raising a bit with his rising emotion] 

I'm done! I'm never getting in! 

[He presses a hand to his forehead, giving up]

SONIC: [suddenly right there, turning TAILS' chair around with his hand, then stops it when TAILS is facing him, holding the chair's arms.] Hey. I'm not giving up on you.

[SONIC grabs TAILS by the feet and swings him around. Fortunately, TAILS doesn't hit anything or knock anything over and hurt himself, but when TAILS nearly hits a desk, he yelps and struggles to get free from SONIC's grip, although failing, and gives his older brother a harsh glare.]

TAILS: What're you doing?!

SONIC: [jumping around and moving so TAILS' legs are hanging from his shoulders, but bending his head forward to avoid hurting him] Shake things up! Use that big brain of yours to think your way out!

TAILS: [hanging upside-down, tails and arms dangling] What?!

SONIC: [off-screen] Look for a new angle!

TAILS: Ugh! 

[After lifting himself to try and look at his brother, he spreads his arms in resignation and falls back down, then finds Omochao upside-down on his desk. He turns to look at it at a different angle, and one of Omochao's limbs falls off, revealing the same red blocks TAILS had used to defeat ZAVOK. He gasps and is suddenly hit with inspiration.]
