So while I could give you a longer intro about how I got to this point I'll just give you the bullet point version: 1. Boyfriend got me into Sonic stuff. 2. I've been playing some of the games with the boyfriend. 3. Watched Sonic Boom the TV show now and again 4. Has a love/hate relationship with the franchise in general. 5. Taking up writing fanfic again to get my old fanfic audience back and to get more serious about writing in general again!

So this fanfic is basically what would happen if I wrote an episode for Sonic Boom the TV show. And I should probably state my sort of policy I have when it comes to Sonic related stuff...

BEFORE WE BEGIN: While this story does involve a popular pairing (that being SonAmy) I will not be writing any graphic material involving furry fetishism... It's not my thing... The farthest sex involving these furry little critters will go in any of my fics is that it'll either be heavily implied or hinted at happening/having happened off screen, sex might/will be referred to as "mating", and a bonus is that you'll get loads of weird animal trivia (because from 1am to 4am I suddenly turn into the Ultimate Zooligist/Animal Breeder)

And with this fanfic in particular – it's intended to be a comedy, if it's sexy to you, you do you and I hope you enjoy it though it's not my main goal...

I should also apologize ahead of time for characters being a little out of character every now and again as well just because um... *cough* the title *cough*...

I also need to apologize for Sticks... I love this cute little feral badger, I think she's a nice addition to the cast and I love the fact she's feral, a little bit crazy and aware of the fourth wall moreso than other characters. But because she's a relatively new character and I'm pretty new to this fandom myself, I apologize ahead of time if I make her seem out of character or if I write her as a bit too feral and more animal-like. And in the past I know my breaking the fourth wall has gotten a bit obnoxious... But don't worry, I'll keep it restricted to MOSTLY Sticks with occasional jabs at the fourth wall from other characters (almost everyone takes jabs at the fourth wall in the show, but Sticks seems to have the most awareness of it overall)

Sorry Chapter 1 comes with disclaimers – new to fandom, I want to make a good impression. I haven't done the fanfic thing in a few years...

But if you're ok with all that and are interested in what I have to offer, keep on reading. Now presenting my first Sonic fanfic of any kind:

Mating Season

The Unnamed Village hadn't been subjected to one of Eggman's schemes for a while. Everything was peaceful, mundane and lacing in action and excitement even moreso than that one episode where Eggman went back to college to actually become a doctor by getting his doctorate.

Perhaps due in part to the lack of have an egghead to crack, Sticks – the badger – found herself home alone and setting up traps, convinced and determined to set up even more ways to defend herself should Eggman show up again. She had convinced herself that his absence was all apart of some plan (which may or may not be caused or influenced by mole men or the Illuminati or both).

Said plan most likely involved leaving the Unnamed Village in a state of undisturbed peace. From there the badger's mind would wander from idea to idea.

She thought about Eggman gaining control over a creature made of fire and another creature made of shadows and using their combined powers to burn the town until nothing was left...

No... That could never happen!

Then her mind wandered further – imagining Eggman gaining control over a creature made of water and having that chaotic beast drown the town and all of it's inhabitants...

No... Not quite right...

Surely Eggman's absence was due to him contacting aliens from another planet and he gained an upper hand – able to manipulate them with some fort of horn that he could use to suppress them and their alien abilities...

Still no...

The badger worried herself silly.

And before she could pester the author of this fanfic about their use of breaking the fourth wall, she decided to drop the issue and go to the beach for a swim and to stake the place out should Eggman or any of his robots be taking a beach day there...

It was a scenic and perfect looking day though she found she was the only one there... Instinctively feeling like it was far too quiet and far too empty she crept slowly to the ocean should anyone be watching. And once at the water she hunched over, searching the shore for any sea shells – preferably sharp ones, good for making spear heads and arrowheads and impromptou stabby things should an agent of the Illuminati or a mole man sneak up behind her.

"Hey... it pays to be paranoid" she said with a wink and a nod to the audience as well as the author who enjoyed the meta humor to an almost nauseating degree...

While scouring the sand for shells and piling up her finds in a near little pile on her left she heard footsteps through the grass running back and forth. Whoever was out there seemed content on hiding in the grass... and daring to look back, the badger saw a tuft of pink fur and quills scurrying about through the tall grass.

"Amy, what in blazes are you doing?"

A small yelp in surprise confirmed it was the pink hedgehog who came out of the grass holding a bundle of what looked like dry grass, driftwood and assorted textiles...

"I'm sorry Sticks. I've been... Busy..." Said Amy, wiping sweat off her brow. She tried keeping her usual happy and calm composure but inside she was panicking, a total nervous wreck who didn't want to get caught. And even though she was simply collecting materials from nature – which was innocent enough – her intentions and reasons for her sudden interest in foraging were fueled by... other natural thoughts...

"What's with the drywood? You adding an extention onto your house?" Sticks asked, Amy sitting down next to her and her little pile of weaponized sea shells.

"I've been building something on my own... Well, more like renovating I guess... Getting rid of old furniture, getting new furniture, I've even been building some actually!"

"Impressive. How'd you manage that?"

"I hammer pretty well."

"Are you sure you're Amy?" Sticks had to ask, watching her friend put her little bundle aside and taking off her shoes to wet her feet in the water.

"I'm just going through a bit of a phase."

"Aaaand... What kinda phase are we talkin about? I've never even seen you assemble your own make-up table!" Sticks taunted. "Heck, the only thing I've seen you put together is those curtains you hung up because Sonic didn't wanna go textile shopping with you and somehow Knuckled got knocked out cold with a curtain rod to the face..."

Amy giggled. "I'm just sort of doing this for me..."

"You know if you're renovating or building or whatever, I can help you fix up the place. We get some traps by the front door, line the window with barbed wire, put some fire ants in the rose bushes..."

But even though the hedger offered to help Amy with renovations free of charge the hedgehog shook her head to decline. "If you put traps in my house if might backfire and hurt the urchins."

"Urchins?" Sea urchins came to Stick's mind... But what in the world did Amy want with sea urchins?

But rather than answering, Amy blushed a bit and picked up her things. "It's nothing honestly... Like I said, I'm just going through a phase."

And sticks, while a bit miffed started to put two and two together, dropping the subject. Patting Amy on the back she asked "So about your renovations... You think seashells could tie the place together?"

And so both girls went back to Amy's place with as much driftwood and seashells they could both carry.

And once Sticks saw the inside of Amy's house and witnessed her wild renovating, her suspicions were confirmed as what used to be a quaint, neat and normal house was now a mess of nature with grass all over the floor and crawling along the walls to the point of covering the bottoms of the windows – the tops of which had pieces of driftwood hammered into the wall to cover them up.

Knowing full-well what was going on with Amy, there was apart of Sticks that was still shocked by the sudden change in character... This place was looking more like a shelter for when the mole men and technicolor aliens started attacking.

"When you said renovations I thought you meant changing the curtains or painting the walls, not building a bunker... And if you need a bunker you could've hid in mine..." Sticks slowly backed away, trying not to trip on loose chunks of grass stuck together with mud and clay.

Amy didn't even seem to acknowledge Sticks being there, just unfolding various textiles and holing them up to the windows. "Urchins need a good place to live. I'm also wondering whether I should change these curtains. I'm considering a cobalt blue or a bubblegum pink what do you think?"

But Amy's question would never be answered as Sticks bolted out of there as soon as possible. Running to her bunker perhaps even faster than Sonic, she locked all the doors and windows, gathered all of her emergency rations and inhaled, exhaled, inhaled again and asked:

"Really? We're doing this?" She waited for a moment but got no response. "I mean... We don't even have regular seasons of this show. We've had a frozen pond next to a desert! There's no sense of setting! No sense of time! I don't even know when I was born! So really?! We're doing this?!"

And much to Stick's surprise she heard a shy voice reply with:

"Yeah, but it's honestly just for comedy, so don't expect straight up porn..."

End of chapter 1

Keep in mind, while this won't be pornographic at all, chapters after this one are going to be about the closest thing I can get to writing porn without it actually being porn... It's very funny... Remember: this is mainly a comedy. On the side however: you can also get animal trivia!

To clarify just one more thing before the meat of the fanfic really begins, the main pairing is SonAmy not only because I like the two together, but also because they seem to be the only hedgehogs in Sonic Boom. I have no idea what direction they'll take Shadow in or if he'll come back and as much as I love Silver, I doubt they'll do anything actually interesting with his character again – poor baby. I don't know if I'll bring the other male hedgehogs in. If the show gives me more of an idea on what they'll do with Shadow and if they EVER bring Silver back, I might include them...

Only real animal trivia for this chapter is that "urchin" is a term that can be used for a baby hedgehog. There will be more animal trivia further down...

Next chapter: If you really wanna see Sonic fawn over Amy, prepare to die of SonAmy overdose with the bonus of getting animal trivia to backup your ship. Granted he will be out of character to some extent... Knuckles too, but he's a bucket of lost potential in this iteration of the character...
