Story 2: Emotionally Unstable Toaster

That feeling when you are not allowed to do something and you suddenly have a great urge to do it...

Sonic knew it too well. Tails had told him to not come near the toaster with a fork. However, he hadn't really told him why so the blue hero was left wondering why on Mobius wasn't a forkallowed near the toaster.

He would ask Tails if he was at home. He couldn't even call him, because the fox kid had left his phone in his workshop.

So, all Sonic was left to was to just sit at the kitchen table and stare at the toaster. It looked the same as when he had bought it, but the young genius had to already repair it once—yesterday, to be exact—and since then no forks were allowed near it.

But Sonic's curiosity was growing. He got up and took a fork from a drawer. He looked at the fork in his hand and then at the toaster. He shook his head. Tails was probably just making fun of him.

He extended his arm and poked the toaster with the fork.

Nothing.

The blue hedgehog shook his head. Of course, his bro was just making fun of—

A small bolt appeared appeared between the fork and toaster. Sonic immediately dropped the fork, jumping away from the toaster.

A pair of digital eyes appeared on the toaster and they looked right at Sonic. "Hello, there. What a beautiful girl you are! No need for coyness! Ask the question that is troubling you!"

"I'm a man..." the blue hedgehog said, but the machine obviously heard him wrong.

"You're asking who is the perfect man for you? I know the answer!" the toaster announced excitedly. "You should get someone who treats you well..."

"I surely wouldn't thought of that..."

"Someone strong..."

"I'm strong enough myself..."

"And kind..."

"You've just described me."

"You know...someone like me!"

"Yeah, sure—Wait, what?!" The blue hero stared in shock at the device. Did it just say what he thought it said?

"So, what do you say about that? Let's go on a date!" the toaster declared, his digital eyes shining with eagerness.

Sonic rubbed his neck nervously. Why was he even feeling nervous because of a toaster? "I'm sorry, you are...you are not really my type."

The toaster looked shocked. "What?! But why not?!"

The blue hero sighed. He had a feeling this will be a long conversation. "Well, you are not even organic—"

"I can change—"

"Buddy, I don't really think you can change that."

"You are right, it's pointless." The toaster looked defeated. "There is no reason to live!"

And then somehow the toaster managed to jump off the kitchen counter.

...

...

...

Which didn't affect it anyhow as it was only about two feet long fall.

"...And would you go on a date with me if I were organic?"

-O-

Tails walked into the kitchen, completely bewildered by the sight that was presented to him. "Alright, what is happening here?"

"I'm just helping a pal with his first heartbreak," Sonic answered, patting the weeping toaster on his 'back'.

The young genius looked worried. "Sonic, are you aware it'sjusta toaster?"

The toaster started to sob even louder. "Dude, you can't speak about Jerry like that! Jerry has feelings too!" Sonic hugged the toaster tightly to make it feel better, sending a scolding look towards the fox.

Tails decided to just leave the scene and pretend it never happened.

-O-

Jerry left the house a few days later, claiming 'he has to stand on his own'.

(It was a very tearful goodbye for Jerry and Sonic. Tails just decided he was glad the toaster was gone.)

AN: Hey, don't give me that look! I have warned you in the summary crazy stuff will be happening here.
