First of all, Tails is estimated to be somewhere between 13 and 15 in the most recent Sonic game (Lost World). This was according to an "ultimate Tails fan" I found on YouTube who said that, in Sonic Riders he was officially 12 in the "booklet". I didn't see this mentioned in the game or the instruction manual (could have been the stratergy guide or a foreign version of the instruction manual). I've asked him to confirm where he got this information and now I'm waiting for a response. Tails was only 8 way back in Heroes, but I doubt he's still that young do to significant maturity recently seen in his personallity and behavoir. His voice sounds a little older now too. If it does turn out that he was 12 in Riders, everyone will be able to stop saying he's 8. Even before Heroes, I thought he was way to mature to be 8 anyway, although they made him act younger and less mature in Heroes, along with a voice actore who sounded like Dora the Explorer. (Never. Again.) It was like they young-ified him and also changed his official age.

Anyway, back on topic....there was an Archie series called 25 Years Later (also titled X Years Later) Whether or not you consider it canon, it shows the closest thing we'll probably ever get to seeing the final and official relationships of the main characters, including Sonic, Tails and Knuckles.

I also consider it more acceptable and likely then some of the predictions I've come across in the fann fiction sections here. It is officially endorsed by Sega, afterall.
