Snowflakes were slowly floating down to the ground from the cold clouds that cover the blue sky. Small woodland animals were hibernating in their homes due to the cold weather that's present among them. Kids were playing in the snow having fun by riding sleds, building snowmen, and setting up snow ball fights with their friends. Adults were shoving away the snow from their homes with their shovel to prevent a snow blockage on their driveway to their garage.
People were setting warm colorful lights that consist of red, yellow, green, around their homes, top and bottom. People are decorating their homes with props such as reindeers, snowmen, and elves. In big cities such as Station Square, stores were being overflowing by late customer buyers who want to get the gift that their loved ones want for the holiday. Because snow in the air means holiday shopping and the thought of it all could stress a person out.
It's winter down on earth and everything was covered in snow or frost. Plants, streets, and homes were covered in snow. House windows and car windows were covered in frost that prevented anybody to see clearly through them with their eyes no matter how good one's vision is.
Most importantly, it was Christmas time on earth, the time of the year where people plan to spend a joyful day with their friends and family in peace and harmony and not have any worries.
No other person loves Christmas than the heroic hedgehog himself, Sonic the Hedgehog, a sixteen year old hedgehog with a cool attitude. Sonic loves Christmas, not for Christmas presents, Christmas food, and Christmas songs.
Sonic loves Christmas because it was a time that all of his friends don't have a busy schedule for the day and be able to come together to laugh and smile.
The blue blur was currently in his warm home, located in a nice grassy plain that was covered in snow. With him in his house is his spunky manx cat girlfriend, Tiara Boobowski, who was staying with him in his home. Tiara Boobowski, a girl that Sonic thinks is so beautiful for she makes him breakfast and folds his gloves sometimes. There's no end to her kindness. She's the only one to make Sonic laugh until it hurts. Her eyes shine, her teeth sparkle, and she watches all of Sonic's favorite tv shows.
The couple were currently putting up Christmas decorations outside and inside in the house. There was only a few days left before Christmas day arrives on the doorstep of Sonic's home. Sonic and Tiara were getting the Christmas decorations a bit late because Sonic's arch enemy, Dr. Eggman, kept on causing trouble that prevented them from decorating the house early. They were also planning a Christmas party that they are gonna hold together a few days from now with their friends.
Sonic was just done nailing in some Christmas socks near his chimney with a hammer. Christmas socks with names on them such his, Tiara, Tails, Knuckles, and Honey on the stocking.
Tiara was close to finish setting up the Christmas ornaments on the Christmas tree that she and Sonic picked together. The tree had funny and cute ornaments that looked almost like Tiara, Sonic and the rest of their friends, along with some Christmas lights wrapped around the tree. The only that prevented the tree from being a true Christmas tree was the lack Christmas presents under the tree and a nice star on top.
When Sonic and Tiara were done setting up the decoration around the house. The two climbed a ladder to reach the top of the Christmas tree and set the Christmas star together.
As the hedgehog and manx cat were setting up the Christmas star together. The two slowly gaze each other's eyes with loving looks for the two greatly love each other deeply and were getting lost in each other's eyes and were enjoying their time together for this joyful month that they are having together. Sonic could never get enough of Tiara's beautiful crystal blue eyes whenever he looks at them.
Sonic thought that Tiara's eyes were even more beautiful than the Christmas star they were putting together. It was like looking at a beautiful blue sky of a bright and sunny day that put Sonic at ease.
The two looked back at the beautiful Christmas star in their hands and gently placed it on the top of the tree together as the lovely couple they are. The two laughed as they climb down the ladder to examine their Christmas tree from a better angle.
Sonic scooted close to Tiara and wrap a arm around her waist as they examine their tree together. Admiring the beauty of the tree they decorated together as they lean their heads together and warm fuzzy vibe was going through their bodies.
The only thing that was missing now from the Christmas tree was a set of presents underneath the tree. Getting presents was the hardest part to complete the Christmas tree. Christmas shopping is tough for Sonic. Shopping is right up there as Sonic's toughest challenges against Eggman or any other foes he faced.
Sonic goes Christmas shopping every year and it really stresses himself out. Whenever Sonic looks at his shopping cart, he imagines his friends and family opening their presents and secretly thinking to himself that the presents he gave his friends and family are: 1. They are the wrong colors. 2. They are the wrong sizes. 3. Returning the gifts back after Christmas and never speak to him again.
It was a quirk of his that happens every year when Christmas time is here.
Luckily for Sonic, this year, he came prepare for he had a list of presents that his friends and family wanted this year. Sonic really paid attention to what his love ones wanted this year and was less stress than previous year. He manage to get his little fox brother, Tails, a brand new tool set that he needed since his regular ones were old and rusty and help him with his future inventions.
Sonic got his sister, Honey the Cat, a fighting red/black color gi that she could wear when she wants to train her fighting skills with him or her mentor/childhood friend, Candy. Sonic got Knuckles a small security device that will help guard the Master Emerald and help him get out more from Angel island so that Knuckles could have more time to hang with Sonic and the others instead of guarding the Master Emerald 24/7.
Despite having the best present for his friends, there was still a huge issue that Sonic was dealing. That of course was getting the perfect gift for his manx cat girlfriend, Tiara Boobowski, who he has been in a relationship for a long period of time and still keeping things strong since the day they met.
Sonic tried to figure out what his girlfriend would want from him, but couldn't as Tiara was really an enigma trying to find out what she wants. Did she want a beautiful dress? Did she want some jewelry? Would she kinda like a canary yellow? Did Tiara have too many scarves that she owns? Sonic could give Tiara a backpack and something to carry. There was so much pressure that it was breaking Sonic's heart that he might not have the perfect gift for his girlfriend Tiara on Christmas day.
Sonic was ready to wrap that perfect Christmas gift, but he hasn't found it yet. Because he has no clue what to give Tiara. Since it was Sonic's and Tiara's first Christmas together, it made Sonic more stressful to find a gift.
"Woe is me." Sonic thought to himself, hiding his sad face from Tiara as the two went to sit on the couch together and watch the fireplace burn up the wood to give them warmth inside the house.
Tiara caught Sonic's sadden face, "What's wrong Sonic? Is something bothering you?" She asked, worried for boyfriend.
Sonic snap out of his sadness and quickly answer her, "Oh umm...I was justing thinking that the presents that I got for everybody will please them." He said.
The manx cat shot a caring smile, "Oh relax Sonic. Everybody is gonna enjoy your presents for them. I know they will." She said, comforting her boyfriend by snuggling near him.
"Yeah, your right. They'll love them." Sonic smiled for Tiara.
Tiara pop her head up in excitement and got up from the couch, "Oh speaking of presents! Wait here!" Tiara said, running up the stairs of the house.
Sonic watched his girlfriend go up the stairs of his home and later come back down holding a wrapped Christmas present in her hands.
"Ta-da!" Tiara yelled, showing Sonic Christmas presents in her hands.
"What is it?" Sonic asked.
Tiara chortle at Sonic's reaction as she walked towards him, "Why, it's your Christmas present Sonic, from me. Don't you see the wrap paper with pictures of small chili dogs on it." She teased.
"You got me a Christmas present?" Sonic said, surprise.
"Yeah, it is Christmas. It's what you do after all." Tiara mocked her boyfriend. "I wanted to give you a Christmas gift for being the best boyfriend and giving me the time of my life whenever we go out together. I just want to show my appreciation to you. Not to mention, this my first Christmas with you and want this to be special." She said, blushing heavily.
Tiara then walked towards the Christmas tree and placed Sonic's Christmas gift under it. Sonic watched as Tiara placed the present under the tree, feeling even more uncomfortable that he still hasn't got a present for Tiara and yet she has a present for him.
Tiara smiled at Sonic's Christmas present as she dusted her glove hands and knew that Sonic was gonna love his present because it came from her.
"There that's one present under the tree. I say it's starting to look like a real Christmas tree." She said, proudly.
The manx cat looked at Sonic and gave him a teasing wink, "Now don't try to open your present before Christmas. It's a surprise you hear me."
Sonic chuckled, "Don't worry. I'll try my best to fight my urges." He teased back.
Tiara sat back on the couch with Sonic. With the talk about presents going through both their minds. Sonic thought this was a good opportunity to find out what Tiara wants for Christmas so he can get it for her. The blue hedgehog then laid his head on Tiara's lap, using her lap as a cushion for his head and to get a good look of her beautiful face from below.
Tiara smiled at Sonic, letting him rest his head on her lap as the two enjoy the warmth of the fireplace. Sonic put his arms behind his head and gave his usual smile that gives to everybody, trying to hide his secret plan to get the perfect gift for his girlfriend.
"So Tiara, what do you want me to get you for Christmas?" Sonic asked, looking up at his girlfriend.
Tiara just laughed at Sonic's question, "It's really simple what I want for Christmas." She giggled.
"What is it?" Sonic asked, really curious.
"What I want for Christmas is nothing." She said, giving a beaming smile.
"Say what now?" Sonic said, shocked.
"You heard me. I want nothing for Christmas." She laughed.
"You want nothing? How come? There's gotta be something that you want?" Sonic asked.
Tiara just laughed, lean her head down, and gave Sonic a kiss on the cheek, "Sonic, it's really sweet that you want to give me a present for Christmas." She told the hedgehog.
"Curses, my plans are foiled." he said to himself in his head as Tiara kept talking.
"But I really don't want anything for Christmas and I really don't want you to stress yourself out to find the perfect gift for me. I know how much you hate Christmas shopping and I don't want you to go through all that just for me." Tiara said.
Tiara then gave a lovely to Sonic with her beautiful crystal eyes, "When I really think it about it. You gave me just about everything I need ever since we got together." She said.
"Like what?" Sonic asked.
"You gave me a place to stay while I'm away from my home island, Misty Peak. You gave me new amounts of friends such Honey and Blaze. You give me the best time of my life and never give me a dull moment in my life with the adventures and fun time we have together. You gave me a life that I never thought was possible outside my castle." Tiara said, rubbing the side of Sonic's blue spikes.
"Really, I can't thank you enough for that, Sonic. That's why I don't want anything from you because you already gave all you could give for me. Just having Christmas with you is enough for me." Tiara said, placing a hand on Sonic's cheek. "There's no other present that can match what you already gave me."
Sonic was at a lost of words by Tiara on how much he gave her. Sonic smiled back as ran his fingers through Tiara's soft brown hair that was tied in a ponytail by her mother's yellow bow. Sonic just sigh happily, feeling less stress that he doesn't have to get a gift for Tiara.
"Alright, if you say so. I'll give you the best "Nothing Gift" that you'll ever get for Christmas." Sonic said, teased and gave a wink.
Tiara laughed, "Good. That's what I want to hear from you." Tiara said, as she and Sonic laughed. "Now, let's just enjoy the warmth of the fireplace wait for Christmas to come while everybody else is Christmas shopping and killing each other." Tiara said as she and Sonic looked deeply into the fire together.
"How did I manage to get the most awesome girlfriend in the world. Not to mention the most beautiful one as well?" Sonic asked.
Tiara just shot a saucy smirk to him, "Face it Sonic, you just hit the jackpot." She said, putting her hands on her hips.
Even though Sonic doesn't have to get a present for Tiara. His heart was still desiring to give Tiara a present. Sonic knew he that the void in his heart wasn't going away no matter how much tries and it was badly aching as well.
His heart knew that there was a gift for Tiara he could give her and all he had to do was find it. Sonic just sigh as he placed his hand on his aching heart and looked at Tiara, who was looking at the fire in front of them with a warm beautiful smile.
"Bah Humbug." Sonic said to his aching heart.
The Next Day
On the next day over at Sonic's house. The blue hedgehog and manx cat were enjoying themselves a Christmas movie on the television. They sat near the fireplace once again only this time they wrapped themselves in a warm soft blanket together and drank eggnog.
After agreeing with Tiara to not get her anything for Christmas. Sonic can't help but try to give her the perfect gift for his aching heart was bothering him to do so.
Though it was bothering him. It wasn't enough for him to go out shopping for Tiara's gift since Tiara doesn't want him to go through all the trouble to her a gift.
Sonic had an arm around Tiara's shoulder as they snuggled together underneath the warm blanket. The blue blue reached out for his glass of eggnog with his free arm and drank it.
Once he was done drinking a sample of his eggnog. Sonic looked at Tiara, whose eyes were glue to the television screen for he something in mind that he wanted to ask his manx cat girlfriend.
"Hey Tiara?" Sonic spoke up.
Tiara broke out of her gaze from the television and looked at Sonic, "Yeah Sonic? What's up?" She spoke in a happy tone.
"Ever think about your father? Like what he's doing for Christmas since you're not there with him." Sonic asked.
"Well I told my father a week ago that I was spending Christmas with you and our friends. He was okay with it for the most part. As long as I send him a card and small gift to him. Which I did a week ago." She said, thinking back.
"What did you give him?" Sonic asked.
"I gave him a new pair of shoes, a new shirt, new pants, and a Christmas card wishing him a Merry Christmas with a picture of you and me together." Tiara said.
"Nice, I'm sure he'll love the present that his daughter got him." Sonic said, giving a thumbs up.
"Yeah, It's a shame that my dad can't spend Christmas with us. He'd love to be here with us." Tiara said.
"How come?" Sonic tilted his head.
"It gets very busy over at Misty Peak when Christmas comes. Too busy that my dad can't leave our castle or the island." she said, sadly.
Sonic snapped his fingers for he had an idea, "I know maybe next year we could have a Christmas party over at your home island with your dad." He said, trying to cheer up his girlfriend.
"What? Really?" Tiara said, surprised by Sonic's idea.
"Yeah, since your dad can't make it to the party. We could bring the party to him." Sonic said.
"Thanks Sonic, my dad would be thrilled about this." Tiara hugged Sonic.
"No problem, besides it would be boring if we keep having a Christmas party at the same place every year. Let's spice it up a little." Sonic winked at the manx cat.
As the two were done talking to each other. They turned their attention back to the Christmas movie that they were watching together.
They didn't care much about the movie for they were more focus on each other. They're attention was cut short when there was a knock on Sonic's front door.
The blue hedgehog got from the couch to answer his front door. Sonic reached for the doorknob and found two familiar faces behind the front door of his home.
Behind the door was his eight year old brother Tails and his fifteen year old sister Honey the Cat. Both fox and cat were wearing winter clothes such jackets and earmuffs to keep them warm.
"Tails! Honey!" Sonic said, happy to see his two siblings.
"Hey Sonic! Happy holidays!" Both yelled at the hedgehog and did a group hug.
Sonic laughed as he hugged Tails and Honey, "Good to see you guys here. Come right in." He said inviting the two in the house.
"Hey Tiara!" Both Tails and Honey said, when they laid their eyes on the manx cat on the couch.
"Hey you two, awesome that you're here with us." Tiara greeted back.
Sonic took notice of the boxes that Tails and Honey had in their arms that picked up from the ground before walking in the house.
"What's that you guys got there?" Sonic asked.
"These are our present for some of our friends for the Christmas party that your holding." Tails answered.
Sonic looked at the many presents that were in Tails' hands that almost over covered his face like a mask.
"I got presents for Marine, you, Honey, Tiara and Knuckles." Tails answered.
"What present did you get for Marine?" Sonic said, curious.
"Oh just some old gadgets and parts that I think Marine would love to build on her own." The fox answer.
"How about you Honey? Who did you get presents for?" Sonic asked the yellow cat.
"Oh you know, some presents for you, Tails, Tiara, and Knuckles." Honey said, looking at her mountain of presents.
A small blush then appeared on Honey's face, "And a special present for Mighty." Honey quietly said to herself, as she hid her blushing face from her brother Sonic when thought of her crush, Mighty the Armadillo was running in her head.
"Okay sweet, you guys could put your presents underneath the Christmas tree over there." Sonic said, pointing the direction.
Tails and Honey nodded their heads as they walked towards Sonic's Christmas tree and placed their presents underneath the tree alongside Sonic's and Tiara's presents for their friends.
"Well that's a load off my back." Tails said, stretching his tired arms.
"You said it Tails, my back is killing me." Honey said, cracking her aching back.
"So what were you two doing before we got here?" Tails asked.
"We're just watching a movie together and waiting for the day of the Christmas party to come." Sonic answered as all four of them sat on the couch together.
"I tell ya Sonic, I'm excited for the Christmas party. I can't wait to have fun with our friends." Honey said, getting giddy.
"Yeah we can't wait for the party as well." Tiara smiled.
"Oh by the way, Sonic. I want to tell you that Candy is coming over to the party from Armstone City to spend Christmas us. I hope you don't mind." Honey said.
Sonic smiled, "Not at all. Candy is more than welcome to spend Christmas with us. She is family to us after all."
"Thanks Sonic, Candy is gonna be happy to hear this." Honey said to her brother.
"Hey, is that eggnog?" Tails said, pointing at a carton of eggnog on Sonic's coffee table.
"Yeah it is and it's awesome. Want some?" Sonic offered.
"Yeah I would like a cup." Tails said, licking his lips.
"How about you Honey? Would you like some eggnog?" The hedgehog asked.
"Oh yeah! Fill me up with a cup please!" Honey said.
"Tiara would you mind filling them a cup." Sonic said.
"Not at all." Tiara said as she reached for the carton of eggnog, only to find the carton completely empty.
"Huh? Looks like me and Sonic drank all of the eggnog from this carton." Tiara said, shaking the carton.
"No worries, there should be more eggnog in the fridge." Sonic said.
"Okay then, I'll be back with more eggnog in a jiffy." Tiara said, getting up from the couch and headed straight to the kitchen to get more eggnog.
"So Sonic, I bet you have something very special gift for Tiara, don't you?" Honey said, giving a sly smile to her brother.
"Yeah Sonic, tell us what you got for her before she gets back with the eggnog." Tails said, wanting some details from his brother
Sonic rubbed the back of his head, "I actually got her nothing." He said, shocking his friends.
"What? But you're her boyfriend, Sonic." Honey said.
"Isn't like a thing for boyfriends to give their girlfriends a Christmas present?" Tails said, rubbing his chin as Sonic just rolled his eyes at his two siblings.
"Look you guys. The reason why I don't have a gift for Tiara is because she said that I already gave her everything that she wants." Sonic said.
"Aw isn't that sweet of her. I never knew one of my cat pals could feel like that." Honey said.
"Well Tiara is also a princess, so what can't you give her." Tails shrugged his shoulders.
"Yeah and because of that. Tiara said she doesn't want me to get her anything for Christmas." Sonic stated.
"Ha!" Honey laughed in a mocking tone out loud by Sonic's statement.
"What's up with the laugh?" Sonic asked, raising a eye to the yellow cat.
"Isn't obvious? Tiara does want something from you." Honey said.
"What do you mean Honey?" Tails wonder where Honey was getting at.
"Whenever a girl tells her boyfriend that they don't want something from them. It means that they really do want something, but they don't know what they want from their boyfriend." Honey said.
"How do you even know that?" Sonic asked.
"Oh I don't know, maybe because I'm a girl myself." Honey pointing to herself.
"Are you sure? Tiara said she doesn't want anything from me and she was very straightforward about it." Sonic said.
"Trust me, Sonic. Tiara does want something from you, but she doesn't know what it is. So it's up to you to figure that out." Honey said
Honey then look at Tiara's present for Sonic that was under the tree alongside with some other presents.
"Besides, it looks like Tiara has a present for you. You don't want to be the only one in the relationship without a gift, especially since this your first Christmas together. You don't want to disappoint her." Honey said, looking straight into Sonic's eyes.
Sonic then swallowed his saliva through his throat as he grew nervous and scare at the thought of disappointing Tiara for their first Christmas together. He even started to sweat and shake in fear.
"Okay first thing tomorrow, I gotta go Christmas shopping to find the perfect gift for Tiara." Sonic said, getting nervous as he was tapping his feet.
"Why not now?" Tails asked.
"Because I promise Tiara to not get her anything and I don't want her to get suspicious about my actions. We planned today to just be with each other." Sonic said, drinking some leftover eggnog that he had in his cup, hoping it would calm him down.
Sonic looked at his sister Honey, "Sis, do you think you and Blaze could keep Tiara busy for the next day before the Christmas party as I tried to find her the perfect gift?"
Honey smiled, nodded her head, and gave a soldier salute, "You can count on me, brother! Me and Blaze will keep Tiara busy while you try to find her a gift. It's a good thing Blaze is here in this dimension and staying over at Cream's home for the holidays." She said.
"Want me to tag along?" Tails asked.
"Thanks for your concern for me, but you have your own Christmas plans to deal with." Sonic smiled at his little brother, "Besides, this is something I have to do on my own."
"Okay then, suit yourself." Tails shrugged his shoulder.
"Hey guys! I'm back with more eggnog. Sorry for the wait." Tiara said, coming in the living room with a silver tray holding a new carton of eggnog and clean cups.
Tiara softly put the silver tray on the coffee table and pour down some eggnog on two clean cups. Tiara picked up the cups of eggnog and offered them Tails and Honey.
"Here you are, enjoy your cups of eggnog." The manx cat said, giving Tails and Honey their cups.
"Thanks!" Both Tails and Honey said, grabbing their cups of eggnog and took small sips.
"So Tiara, what did you get Sonic for Christmas?" Honey asked, after drinking a bit of her eggnog.
"Oh you know. Something that he'll love. I don't want to ruin the surprise when he's around. He is the best boyfriend in the world after all. He deserves the best!" Tiara said, winking at both Tails and Honey.
"Not as much as my boyfriend, Mighty." Honey quietly said to herself, remarking Tiara's statement about Sonic being the best boyfriend.
"I'm so excited for the Christmas party! Aren't you was well, Sonic?" Tiara asked her boyfriend.
Sonic looked at Tiara's eye, only to see nothing but excitement those blues eyes of her's. A image of a sad and sobbing Tiara appeared in his head as he looked at her. Sonic looked over at Honey, who raised one of her eyes at him, telling him that Tiara does want something for Christmas from him.
Sonic swallowed his saliva and faked a smile for Tiara, "Yeah totally! Can't wait for the party." The nervous hedgehog said, rubbing the back of his head and took a sip of his eggnog nervously.
Starting tomorrow, Sonic is determined to find the best gift for Tiara that really suits her. No matter what, he won't stop and nothing will get in his way, not Eggman and not even crazy Christmas shoppers that will try to kill him for the best present.
"Bah Humbug." Sonic said to himself, for he was gonna face his toughest challenge yet.
Finding the perfect Christmas gift for Tiara Boobowski.
