Hey there, Sonic fans. :) Here is my third Sonic story. My first two ones mainly focused on Tails, but this one focuses on our favourite blue hedgehog - doing a certain job that you probably wouldn't expect him to do. :P Find out how he manages it and enjoy. :)

Disclaimer: I don't own Sonic the Hedgehog. It belongs to SEGA and Team Sonic.

Early morning light was shining down on the village where Sonic and his friends lived, as the sun began to slowly rise over Mobius. The only sounds to be heard were a gentle breeze and leaves rustling in the trees.

Many of Sonic's friends were still in bed, fast asleep. Tails was dreaming of being the greatest inventor in the history of the Universe, Amy was dreaming of being in a jacuzzi with Sonic and Cream was dreaming of eating a giant ice cream. Everybody who was fast asleep was dreaming of something they badly wanted, which could only ever happen to them in their dreams.

But not everybody was fast asleep.

Sonic came speeding through the sleeping village, which was no long sleeping, as he wasn't sleeping, when in fact, he should have been sleeping. All throughout the night, he had been fighting against Eggman, who had come up with yet another not-so-ingenious scheme to take over Mobius. Not surprisingly, Sonic had defeated Eggman, but was still feeling as smug as he always did whenever he defeated Eggman.

Sonic stopped at his house and opened the front door - to find three envelopes lying on the floor, all addressed to him. Surprised that the postman had arrived at his house before he had, Sonic stepped into the house, picked the envelopes up and grinned. "It's probably more fan mail."

Kicking the front door shut behind him, Sonic walked into the lounge. He left the envelope's on the coffee table, then walked into the kitchen to make some coffee, which he had drunk a lot of during the night before, so as to stay awake when he went out to fight Eggman.

Soon, Sonic was sitting on the couch, drinking coffee from his favourite mug (a teddy bear one) and was watching a show on the television, which was aimed at little kids and was about a father teaching his son and the audience lessons about life. They got on Sonic's nerves and made him want to punch them. He was only watching them, because he couldn't find anything better on.

Sonic tore his eyes away from the awful rubbish that was on his screen and looked at the three envelopes on the table. Grinning, he picked one of them up and looked at it. "Let's see what my fans have to say to me. It's probably just the same as all the other letters from fans I always get. It's probably just another guy, saying he wants to be like me, or some girl, saying she wants to marry me."

Sonic's smug grin widened. "But it's understandable. Everyone loves me; Sonic the Hedgehog."

Sonic tore open the top of the envelope, pulled out the sheet of paper that was inside - and was shocked to discover that it was a bill. He looked at it with an expression that looked as if he had been given a letter that warned him that chili dogs were being discontinued. "What the-?! A bill?! Why have I been given a bill?!"

Tossing the bill over his shoulder, Sonic snatched up the second envelope. Seething in anger, he tore open the top of it, yanked out the sheet of paper inside - and was more shocked the discover that it was another bill. Throwing it to the ground, he picked up the last envelope and tore it open - only to find that it was another bill.

Sonic held the last bill up in front of him and looked over it in horror. He could not believe it was addressed to him. "What are these people thinking?! Sending me bills?! I'm Sonic the Hedgehog! I shouldn't have to pay bills!"

Sonic's ears perked up as he heard the child on the television speak in a whiny voice to his father. "So, Daddy, one day, I will have to pay bills."

"Yes, Jimmy," replied the father, smiling cheerily. Sonic tore his eyes away from the bill and looked at the father, who was grinning at the camera. "Remember, kids, you too will have to pay bills in the future."

"SHUT UP!!!" Sonic yelled in anger at the man on the television. He picked up an apple from the fruit bowl on the coffee table and angrily hurled it at the television. The apple soared across the room and hit the screen, sending the television falling backwards off the table it was standing and crashing to the floor, smashing to pieces.

"Oh, great," groaned Sonic huffily. "Now I have to pay for a new TV, not just bills."

Sonic held up the bill and ran his eyes over the text that was written. Whoever had sent it, along with the others, was asking for a large sum of money. At the bottom, it read:

FAILURE TO PAY BY JUNE 26TH WILL RESULT IN EVICTION FROM HOUSE

Sonic sighed sulkily. "This is how these people thank me for saving Mobius from Eggman's schemes? Why do I even bother to save this planet?" Sonic then hit himself on the forehead. "Oh, of course! To laugh in Eggman's face. That's why."

Sonic's shoulders sagged as he read over the bill again. "I don't have any money to pay for these bills. People should be awarding me money for saving this planet, not asking me for money."

Sonic thought for a moment, then he grinned widely. "Of course! Tails will surely give me some money to pay these bills. After all, I am his best bud, so he'll do anything to help me. I love that guy - as a best bud, of course!"

Still holding onto the bill, Sonic stood up, gather up the other two bills, which he had thrown to the floor, then walked over to the telephone, which was sitting on a small table in the corner of the room, picked up the receiver and dialed Tails' number.

Sonic held the receiver to his ear and listened, feeling confident Tails would give him enough money to pay the bills (and maybe a bit extra).

After four rings, Sonic heard Tails answer in a groggy voice. "What?!"

"Oh," remarked Sonic. "That's a nice way to greet your best friend, Tails."

"Well, Sonic," Tails snapped angrily. "I was just about to be handed a certificate for being the greatest inventor in the history of the Universe."

"In your dreams, Tails." Sonic then went into a laughing fit over his own joke, which wasn't that funny. "Now snap back into reality."

"Well, what is it you want?" sighed Tails with a yawn.

"Well, I'm in trouble-"

"You are?!" Tails cried out in panic. "What's happened, Sonic?! Has Eggman put you in trouble?!"

"No, Tails," yelled Sonic, trying to be heard about Tails. "But some money-obsessed freak has: they've sent me bills!"

"Oh?" Tails finally calmed down, but sounded confused. "Well, that's pretty normal, Sonic."

"Normal?!" Sonic hollered angrily. "Tails, people should not be sending bills to Sonic the Hedgehog! Besides, I don't have any money. Soooo...I was wondering..."

"What?"

"Can you give me some money?"

"No."

"WHAT?!" Sonic screamed in horror, as though Tails had just confessed he had decided to discontinued chili dogs. "But, Tails, we're best friends!"

"I know. But I have my own bills to pay, Sonic."

"But how I am I gonna pay these bills without money?! They'll evict me if I don't!"

"Simple," replied Tails calmly. "Get a job."

"What?"

"Get a job!"

"Where am I gonna get a job from?"

"There's a pizza house in town called 'Pizza's Pizzas'. It's low on staff. Just go there and you'll get a job there."

Before Sonic could reply, Tails hung up. Sonic frowned and put the receiver down. He thought for a moment. "A pizza house? Hmm, I suppose that will help me defeat my new enemies; the bills. I guess I'll go for it."

Sonic smiled and walked into the kitchen to make some more coffee.

So Sonic is gonna go ahead for this job! :P Will it go well or not? Find out in the next chapter. :)

I was gonna make this story a one shot, but since it takes place over the course of a few days, I decided to make it a into chapters story. However, it'll only be about three chapters. So don't expect a really long exciting story. Just a short story, which is about Sonic doing a new job, with some humour on the way.

Hope you've enjoyed this first chapter. :)
