Don't get your Tails in a twist
"Miles, lunch is ready!" His father called out to the yellow fox as he finished sketching his latest idea with the paper and pencil kit he got last week.
"I'll be out in a second dad!" The two tailed fox responded, putting the final touches onto the idea as he came out, two sandwiches on the table as his father poured him a glass of milk.
"I swear if I didn't call you out for food, you would be in there all day." His father teased, putting away the carton as Tails dug in.
"Hey, I have good ideas." The younger boy argued, the young boy's fangs digging into the tomato, lettuce and ham in the sandwich.
A 'hero' sandwich, they called it. Though the young fox would find it hard to disagree as he was mezmerised by the nice taste of the small sub.
"Just make sure to put your plate in the sink when your done, I need to take care of some work." His father told him, the boy nodding as he drank his milk.
'Have to get big and strong, just like Harry and Lloyd.' He thought with a sigh, he didn't really like thinking of the two bullies, but the fact was both were far bigger and stronger than he was, even if they were only two years older than him.
He had too eat his meat and veg if he wanted too catch up too them...
The thought of mean and meaner left a bitter aftertaste in his mouth, putting away his plate like his dad asked him to(although he still had a hard time reaching up) as he decided too go out for a walk.
Hopefully the boy could work on his dads plane after school tomorrow, the fox able to dodge most of his classes due too his intelligence, but he still had to go to some of them for attendance.
Looking at the town, the boy smiled as he saw everyone was starting to recover from Robotnik's attack. Sure things had changed, but not all those changes were bad.
Unfortunately, some of the changes very much were bad...
Particularly, two fox's that seemed to enjoy making his life far less happy....
"Well if it isn't the freak." Harry the older of the fox duo spoke, giving a fanged grin as he stomped in his juniors path.
"Didn't we tell you to go back to your Island Mutey?" Lloyd, the smaller, but just as nasty, member of the two spoke, cracking his knuckles as he looked at the younger fox with his 'friend'.
"Guys, c'mon, I just wanna go for a walk." He begged, not wanting this too turn into another bullying session as his tails unconsciously wrapped around each other in fear...
"Oh, so now he thinks he can decide what we should do?" Lloyd spoke to Harry, both frowning as they glared at the younger fox.
"Maybe we should teach him too respect his betters." Harry suggested, giving a toothy grin as they both made their way up to the trembling fox.
Who quickly felt it was his cue too run... if they hadn't grabbed onto both his tails before he could flee.
"Ow, stop, that hurts!" he cried out, feeling them pulling with sneering laughter as their grip didn't loosen, if anything, only getting tighter.
"Oh you should be thanking us, we're gonna help you." Harry spoke up, pulling tighter with a dark grin on his face.
"Yeah, after this, you won't be an ugly two tailed weirdo anymore." Lloyd spoke, putting his foot on the younger boy's but as as he began too push him back.
"Just a no tailed fox." Harry finished, the two pulling as Miles felt tears pricking from the pain, his two tails right about snap off if they kept this up....
Right before a blue gust of wind broke their hold on him, the boy quickly rushing off as he jumped into the bushes to hide as he turned around.
The burst of speed ending as a famous Super fast Blue Hedgehog appeared, the Hero of the Island giving a glare too the two foxes as gave them both a stern glare.
"Hey, you just ruined our fun!" Lloyd called out in anger, Harry likewise glaring at the hedgehog, who only glared back at the both of them.
"Fun? You call bullying people younger than you fun?" Sonic the Hedgehog asked with an angry look on his face, one hand balled into a fist as the two foxes glared back.
"Yeah, that twerp was our play toy, and now you just ruined that for us." Lloyd spoke again, giving a scowl full of teeth as they both stepped forward.
And while that might have worked in intimidating a younger person, Sonic was not only much older than both of them, but he had dealt with far scarier things than two rude jerks.
"Oh, so you think its fun to hurt others, hmm?" He asked, dashing up close to them as he placed his fingers on Lloyd's ear "Would it be fun if I pulled your ears?" He asked, giving a light tug as the younger fox scowled.
"Maybe It would be fun if pulled your tail off?" He shot to Harry, gripping onto the boy's tail as he yelped "Hey, let go!" He protested, pulling them both as he gave them a glare.
"Not so funny when your on the receiving end of harassment?" He responded, getting some tears from the two as he kept pulling.
For all that they thought themselves as mighty as Tigers, they folded like Paper when someone stronger appeared...
"WE'RE SORRY!!!" They both cried out, which finally got the blue hedgehog too let go as they bowed. "Good, now don't let me catch you doing that too anyone again, we clear?" He spoke, getting a nod from the two foxes as they ran off.
"... You can come out now kiddo, they won't bother you again." The Blue hedgehog called out to the yellow fox, who hesitantly made his way out of the bushes.
"T-thanks mister... " He shyly responded, getting a chuckle from the older Mobian as he crouched down next to the younger guy, giving him a headrub.
"If those two or anyone else are bothering you about your tails again, just let old Sonic the Hedgehog know and I'll send em packing." He reassured the younger kid, getting a giggle from him as he stood back up.
"Well, I gotta go, those badnik's won't destroy themselves... probably." He remarked, before rushing off
"Wait!" Miles called out, two seconds too late as the Hedgehog was already almost out of the Zone as he lowered his hand. "I didn't get too give him my name... " He remarked, bummed out but happier now that his bullies would finally leave him alone.

Back in his room, Miles Prower worked on the schematics for the Airplane as the poster he saw before was now hung up on his bedside.
Tomorrow, he was going to go out and meet his hero, no matter what it took.
"Miles, Dinner is ready!" His father called out as he smiled, putting away the plane designs before passing through his other notes.
"Just a second dad." He spoke, taking the old idea he made for himself, and with a shake of his head, he threw it into the bin.
Looking back, it wasn't really that great of an idea, and the fox was unsure of why he wanted to do it in the first place.
After all, if two tails made him an outcast, what would Nine of them do?
