I started to fly, looking for Sonic, to tell him what I had realized, thinking it might make for a good conversation. Seeing him, I landed, and told him what I had been thinking about.

"Tails, you better not..."
"Sonic, you know me better than that."
"Yeah, but the thing is, I was hoping you'd never realize this."
"Why is that, Sonic?"

Sonic fell silent, and that told me why.



He didn't trust me.
"Sonic... I've been your friend forever. I wouldn't just eat you out of the blue."
(Bonus if you see what I did there.)
