Commander-Ookami: Alright, here's my Sonic the Hedgehog fanfic. This story will take place from the Archie universe and not in the game or anime. Please give me your comments, reviews, or suggestions once you've read it and I'll update soon.

Note: I do not own Sonic the Hedgehog or the characters from the series, they belong to Sega Games or Archie Comics. I only own the OC characters of this story, Drew and John.

It was a autumn afternoon, with a warm breeze flowing through the crisp air, and the skies were growing darker and darker as daylight was fading. There lies a Suburb, with houses ranging from one to two stories, and each house was setting on their porch lights. However, these were quite different from most normal houses you'd see in suburbs. Each house had bared their own kind of strange forms of twisted decorations that would change them from becoming appealing to become ugly and scary. These decorations were ranged from amputated body parts, skeleton bones hanging down by thread, large and small sized tombstones rising from the earth in mounds, and even with infestations of disgusting creatures. There were many forms of decorations that were put together to make the neighborhood houses different from one another. However, there was one piece of decoration that all the houses had. On their porches, or sitting next to their front steps, were large orange melons that bore creases from their stems from the top to the bottom. They were pumpkins and as each of the local residents were coming out of their houses, they each carried a match or a small lighter, they had removed the tops from the pumpkins to insert a flame on a small candle that were placed inside them. As the candles were lit, the pumpkins came to life with glowing scary faces or figures that were cut into their orange bodies. These were called Jack-o-lanterns, and they were being lit as traditional pieces for the special occasion set on that day and night, known as Halloween.

As every adult and child of the suburb were preparing themselves, for either 'trick or treating' or for handing out candy, most others were preparing themselves for other events for that night. One of which was a teenage boy of 17 named Drew Cyborge. He was currently reading a comic book, the latest issue of Sonic the Hedgehog, as he was dressed in his costume and waiting for something. While he was doing this however, he was able to hear the sound of the house doorbell ringing, and a pair of familiar voices talking from the second floor of the two story house. located at the edge of a cul-de-sac.

"Hello? Oh, hello John, nice costume." said a woman's voice.

"Thanks Mrs. Cyborge, I'm here for Drew" said the voice of a young man, who's name is John.

"He's still upstairs, you can go up and check on him if you want."

"I will, thank you." John replied as he made his way up the stairs to his friends room.

John comes to the Cyborge house often, so he knew his way around. Both Drew and John have ben friend for a long time, and they often hang out at each others houses. As John reached the door to Drew's bedroom, he could see a teenage boy of the same age as him on the bed reading a comic of some kind.

"Dude, let's go, we've got a party to get to. Put the nerd book down and lets go." John said to his friend while noticing that his friend was currently lazing around when they had to get moving.

"Alright, alright, I was just waiting for you to show up." Drew said as he noticed his friend coming into his room. "And this is a comic book. Not a nerd book!"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever dude. Let's go!" John said in response to Drew and repeating that they had somewhere they had to go.

As Drew got up from his position on his bed, and placed his comic book down on top of a large stack of Sonic the Hedgehog comics, both he and John managed to get a good look at each others appearance in their costumes. Both were giving each other a look of curiosity and questioning.

"Um, Drew, what are you suppose to be?" John asked as he responded first ask his friend about his costume. "Are you some kind of soldier or something?"

Drew was a tanned skin boy with brown mid-length hair and eyes. He was dressed in a green turtleneck sweater with a field gray military tunic, which had been altered and shredded at the bottom portion of the tunic, draped over his shoulders as a sort of cape and given a patch and armband of some unknown symbol on the unused sleeves. He was also wearing tan colored pants with a sort of military utility belt and black east German boots laced with metal bands and a pair of leg shackles. He was also sporting a pair of brown leather gloves with some kind of metal gauntlet attached to his left arm.

"I'm dressed as a Waysider." Drew answered to Johns question.

John gave no response as he didn't understand what Drew was talking about.

"One of the characters of Lost Planet 2." Drew explained further.

John still gave no response as he still didn't understand.

"It's from a video game!" Drew exasperated to make his explanation simpler for John to understand.

"Oh, why didn't you just say so." John replied as he finally understood what Drew was dressed as. John doesn't really play video games, he'd rather play sports than be interested in such things. "But why would you dress like that?"

"Well, I was going to go to the next gaming convention like this, and thought I could also use it for Halloween." Drew said to help understand why he chose that costume. "Besides, I could ask you the same question. Are you some kind of hippie?"

John was a dark skin boy with black hair, formed into dreadlocks that reached down to his neck, and had green eyes. He was dressed In a brown poncho, underneath was a red t-shirt, with a pair of blue bell bottom pants and brown strap sandals. He was also wearing a red bandanna wrapped around his head into a band that covered his forehead from his dreadlocks, with a pair of purple granny glasses and a silver peace pendant around his neck over the poncho.

"Yeah, I'm a hippie. But unlike the stuff you'd get from the stores, this costume is made up from the authentic stuff!" John exclaimed as he explains his explains his costume. "Ya see, my grandparents were hippies when they were younger, so they said I could use their clothes for my costume. So not only am I wearing actual hippie clothes, I'm a descendant of actual hippies. Which sort of makes me a hippie, ya know?"

"Yeah, sure, OK." Drew said with a bit of skepticism in his voice. "Anyway, let's not waste time here, let get going to the party."

John nodded and headed back downstairs. Both Drew and John had been invited to a special Halloween party being held at another friends house. In fact, most of thier high school had been invited and are attending, so it was going to be a major party not to miss. But just as Drew was about to fallow John back down stairs, he had remembered something.

"Whoa! Almost forgot my hat!" Drew said to himself as he went back into his room.

As he looked over his room to find his Waysider hat, Drew had spotted his dyed red M34 field cap next to his pile of Sonic the Hedgehog comics. When he tried to pick it up, he had knocked down the comic book stack down in the process.

"Wha? Oh-no!" Drew exclaimed as he realized his little mistake and attempted to pile them back in order. "I'll have to re-organize my comics again! But that would take too much time! Eh, I'll deal with it when I get back."

Drew then put his cap on his head and rushed out of the room while slamming his door behind him to catch up with John. It was as soon as he left, that a eerie light began to glow from beneath the messy pile of comics.
