One day, Phoenix brought home a new friend named Theodore Tinker. Phoenix was excited to introduce Theodore to his other friend, Tails. However, Tails was a bit suspicious about Theodore.

Theodore looked eerily similar to the evil Dr. Eggman, which raised Tails' eyebrows. He decided to keep a close eye on the new kid.

While Phoenix and Theodore were engrossed in a video game, Tails managed to snatch a strand of Theodore's hair. He planned to run a quick DNA analysis on it.

After scanning the hair, Tails was shocked. The DNA was a perfect match for Dr. Eggman's. Tails couldn't believe what he was seeing.

He also found traces of the same youth water that Sonic had fallen into a decade ago. This water had turned Sonic into a baby and erased all his memories.

Sonic had to grow up all over again, forgetting his speedy past and adopting a new name, Phoenix. Tails wondered if the same had happened to Eggman.

Tails hypothesized that Eggman must have taken a dip in the youth water recently. But unlike Sonic, Eggman had not turned into a baby.

This was probably because Eggman hadn't been submerged in the water for as long as Sonic. So, he was now Phoenix's age with no recollection of his past.

However, Eggman still retained his intellect, unlike Sonic who had lost his memories and his speed. Theodore, or rather, Eggman, had been fixing everything around the house.

Tails recalled that Eggman had once assumed an alter ego named Mr. Tinker after suffering from amnesia. Theodore seemed like a younger version of this Mr. Tinker.

As Tails was absorbed in his thoughts, Phoenix approached him. He asked Tails if Theodore could spend the night at their place. Tails nodded, seeing no harm in it.

That night, Tails kept a close watch on Theodore. He noticed that Theodore seemed to enjoy his time with Phoenix, just like any other kid.

Theodore was unaware of his past. He was just a regular kid who liked to fix things and play video games. Tails began to question his initial suspicions.

However, there was still the undeniable fact that Theodore's DNA matched Dr. Eggman's. Tails had to be sure before he could let his guard down.

After a few days, Tails noticed Theodore's affinity for machines. He was not just good at fixing things but also at creating new gadgets.

This was a trait that reminded Tails of Dr. Eggman. But unlike Eggman, Theodore used his skills for good, not evil.

Over time, Tails began to see Theodore not as a potential threat but as a friend. He admired Theodore's intelligence and his helpful nature.

Theodore, on the other hand, looked up to Tails. He admired Tails' flying ability and his knack for inventing. The two of them started spending more time together.

They shared their knowledge of machines and gadgets, and soon, they were working on projects together. Their bond grew stronger with each passing day.

Phoenix was happy to see his two friends getting along. He enjoyed watching them work together and create amazing things.

Even though Theodore had no memories of his past, he was creating new ones with Phoenix and Tails. He was happy and content.

As for Tails, he no longer saw Theodore as Dr. Eggman. He saw him as Theodore Tinker, a friend and a fellow inventor.

Tails kept the DNA results a secret. He didn't want to burden Theodore with a past that wasn't his anymore. After all, Theodore was just a kid, like them.

In the end, it didn't matter where Theodore came from. What mattered was who he had become. Theodore Tinker was a friend, a helper, and a part of their family.

Theodore, Phoenix, and Tails became inseparable. They spent their days playing video games, inventing new gadgets, and making unforgettable memories.

Tails learned a valuable lesson through this experience. People are not defined by their past, but by their actions and the kind of person they choose to be.

And Theodore chose to be a kind, helpful, and intelligent person. He was not Dr. Eggman. He was Theodore Tinker, and that's all that mattered.

Despite the mystery surrounding Theodore's past, one thing was clear. He was a friend, and he was loved. And that was all that mattered to Phoenix and Tails.

So, they continued their adventures with their new friend, Theodore Tinker. Their bond grew stronger with each passing day, creating a friendship that was truly special.

And though Theodore's past was shrouded in mystery, his future was bright and full of possibilities. Just like Phoenix and Tails, he was ready to face whatever came their way.

After all, they were a team. A team of friends who were ready to explore the world, one adventure at a time. And that's exactly what they did.

They faced challenges, solved mysteries, and had fun along the way. Together, they proved that friendship was more powerful than any mystery or any past.

And so, the story of Phoenix, Tails, and the mysterious Mr. Tinker continued. Full of adventures, friendship, and lots of fun. After all, that's what being a kid is all about.

No matter where they came from or what their past was, they were kids. Kids who were ready to explore, learn, and most importantly, have fun. And that's exactly what they did.

So here's to Phoenix, Tails, and Theodore Tinker. Three friends who proved that friendship knows no bounds. And their story? Well, it's just getting started.
