Plot
One day, Sonic and Knuckles are about to do a wheelbarrow race with Tails being the one to keep the time. When the race finishes, Sonic asks Tails how they did, but the fox does not answer. Back in town, Dr. Eggman is at the post office asking Leroy the Turtle why his package is late. After signing a note, Eggman sends one of his robots to attack. Sonic tries to perform an attack with Tails, but it does not work. When Eggman departs, Sonic asks Tails what is wrong with him, and as it turns out, Tails is having a crush on a pretty fox girl named Zooey.

However, Tails needs help on trying to handle this, so he goes to his teammates for advice. First of all, Sonic tells him at his shack to play it cool, and he demonstrates with Comedy Chimp dressed as a female. The next time Tails sees Zooey, he tries to play it cool, but he trips and falls, and the plan does not work. Next, Knuckles suggests that Tails be manly and work out. At Meh Burger, Tails orders some steak and comments on the table's design, however, this plan fails as well. Tails goes to Amy at her house next, and the two watch a romantic movie. Tails then goes to Zooey's house and serenades her while she is watching from her window. However, Tails struggles to find the right words for his monologue, and Zooey does not listen. The last hope is Sticks, and she says in her burrow that Tails should do a tribal dating dance. He uses feathers to perform the dance, but Zooey thinks he looks silly.

Eggman's package has finally arrived, and it happens to be a Background Music Generator - a device that lets him create background music to make his attacks more exciting. While trying it out, Eggman summons his robots to attack the village, and Zooey is captured by Giant Robot. Tails quickly gets into his plane to rescue her. When the rest of Team Sonic arrives, Tails waves them off, saying that he can do this by himself. He fires at Giant Robot's arm with his Unbolterizer, and as Zooey falls to the ground, he uses the Enerbeam to save her. After taking care of the robot, Zooey thanks Tails for rescuing her, and then kisses him. Cutting Tails some slack, Eggman plays some romantic background music as the two hold hands while Eggman has his device create a heart-shaped iris out effect around the couple.
