Inspired by the drawing someone did and it gave me an idea. And also inspired by the old classic movie Bambi.

For over thousands of years, Earth was filled with life all around it. Awake by day and asleep by night. Sun and Moon has been around for thousands of years when man and mobian kind came around. Earth has season cycle that happens once a year when the Earth tilts when it gets seasons.
Four seasons known as Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. And four guardians has been keeping the balance of seasons for thousands of years. Keeping the Earth alive and making sure that the balance remains the same once a year.
Amy Rose the guardian of Spring, she watches over the plant life growing back from its long slumber.
Sonic the guardian of Summer, he watches over the life from any hottest disaster.
Shadow the guardian of Autumn, he turns trees into red to yellow color leaves.
Silver the guardian of Winter, he creates snow all around the area.
And two guardians that raises the sun and moon to create day and night. Blaze the guardian of the Sun, she makes sure that every life are awake at daytime. Nebula the guardian of the Moon, she makes sure that everyone gets a good night sleep. As long they are around, they need to keep life around on Earth for the future.
Without the guardians there's no balance of life for humanity.
(Sonic's POV)
Just doing my same job to create Summer in countries all around the world. And making sure there are no more tornadoes, thunderstorms, or mostly hurricanes. It's not easy to control heat wave. But my Summer powers need heat wave so that people can have summer breaks like family vacations.
And I do mean that they love to get a tan but it's risky for skin cancer though. But as soon summer is over it's all to Shadow but I still bring heat to warm countries.
Right now me and my guardians live at the clouds in the sky. It may look like heaven but it's not. It's like a place for gods to do their duties. Our place looks almost like a cloud city which I enjoy relaxing and watching over humanity.
I can now tell that Silver is so looking forward winter by the sight of the snow man he makes. And how he goes down to Earth and morphs into a deer to create snow all around and putting most animals into hibernation. He sure loves animals as much as I enjoy morphing into a dolphin to keep all the water a little cold for people to go swimming. While Amy just becomes a dove and spreads flowers at the fields at Spring and Shadow a bat when it's Autumn. It's like we have our own guardian animal that represents the symbol of seasons.
"Sonic? Reality to Sonic!" I was interrupted by my friend Amy snapping her fingers in front of my face.
"Huh? Oh sorry Amy" I snapped out.
"Day dreaming again Sonic?" Amy asked.
"No, just thinking in my head. Why? I already did my duty, checked all the list of countries that need Summer, and getting rid of nasty weather. Right now I'm just chillaxing on the fluffy cloud" I said with my cocky charm at her. I just love being funny to her.
"You're too funny Sonic" Amy smiled warmly at me.
"You know me Amy, I love pulling jokes" I said.
"It's like it never gets old on you" Amy playfully rolled her eyes.
"Nope, never. Because we are immortal. And let's say I'm always immature like a child" I smirked.
"Very cute and hilarious" Amy rolled her eyes.
I placed my hands behind my neck while having a break, "I hope you did your duties. Mine was hard work"
"I did Sonic, breathing life into the flora and waking animals from their winter sleep is my duty" Amy.
"And?" I wanted to hear more.
"And to bring Easter to the world. It just so weird Easter switches date every year but no matter. I enjoy the chocolate eggs" Amy said.
"Mmhmm. I see you paint pink eggs all the time" I said.
"Pink always mean love to me" Amy smirked.
"Just like you" I said.
Amy laid down next to me and folds her arms behind her head, "Blue for boys, pink for girls" Amy said.
"Yep. Say have you seen Shadow around?" I asked Amy.
"Not what I know" Amy said.
"He always likes being alone. I bet he's too nervous to talk to his crush" I chuckled.
"You suppose so?" Amy wondered.
"I know. He just act like he does not" I said.
"The only thing he likes is darkness and mostly Spanish. Nebula speaks English and Spanish" Amy said.
"That's why I noticed he's trying to make his first impression. That's totally out of character for him" I said, a little disappointed that our Shadow is becoming a little soft only for Nebula.
"Maybe he likes her. Just like our Silver likes Blaze" Amy said.
"Yeah, but Nebula is not much of a morning person. She's half-awake every day. And she would always go to the cafe to have a cappuccino" I said, feeling bad that Nebula's duties are much harder.
(Shadow's POV)
My work is done. I checked all the list of countries that need the season of autumn. Now I just need a cappuccino at the cafe to stay awake and work on my impression for the guardian of the Moon. I better hope she's there right now. I promised her I'll be there; most of the times she's always a little tired to talk and mostly cranky from her lack of sleep.
I found her at the cafe having 3 cups of cappuccino. Man, she's a wreck. I hope she's not in a bad mood and I hate to see her lack of sleep causing side effects on her.
"So...tired..." She slumps her head on the table.
"Hey Nebula. How's your night?" I asked her.
"Rough as usual. Barely got any sleep" Nebula moans sluggishly, "I'm always awake by night but I'm only half awake by day. As a guardian it's my duty to give humanity a good night's sleep" She said.
"Damn. Summers the days are longer than during winter" I referred to the differences between summer time and winter time.
"Yup, summer is long days and short nights. Winter is the opposite" Nebula said while sipping her cappuccino.
"Indeed" I nodded and ordered a decaf coffee.
"I'm guessing your job is mostly hard" She said.
"Sometimes but I do get tired. Autumn season is mostly short for the next 2 or 3 months in countries. And after that, Silver's turn to create winter" I said, grabbing a cup of decaf coffee.
"You know how he feels when it's Christmas, he just enjoys watching the cheering children getting their presents. Well at least the good ones" Nebula said.
"Indeed but my autumn season there's always Halloween" I said.
"My favorite event" Nebula said.
"And why is that?" I asked.
"Because Halloween always starts at night. And night comes from my duties" Nebula said but I noticed she looks very tired. Those dark circles underneath her eyes look very dark. I need to do something for her before her lack of sleep causes dangerous situations in her life.
"You really need to sleep now" I said.
"Why should I? All of you guys are awake by day. And mostly awake by night. I really need a break from my job but I can't. The other side of the planet needs night, which I already did but our side needs it too" She yawned and too tired to lie down but I carried her in my arms.
"I insist you need a nap" I carried her away, "I hate to see your lack of sleep giving you side effects. It's very dangerous for your life you know" I said.
I took her to her cloud temple of Moon where she controls night. I have to admit her place is beautiful with the constellation on the ceiling and her bed with the shape of a crescent moon. I gently placed her down on the bed, "Get some rest, I'll be back" I said to her.
(Silver's POV)
Man, chilly day for me. I checked out everything on my list of countries that needed snow and winter season. Russia, Chile, and the Northeast of America were just too easy.
I've just decided to make some ice sculpture which I love doing my break. Winter sure is fun for me and humanity. My cloud temple is very chilly and snowy but the cold air never bothers me. It's like being at the mountain of Himalayas. Yeah, right after autumn comes, I come next.
I wonder how Blaze is doing right now. She sure is busy lately. But she sure loves raising the sun, making sure that everyone is awake during the day, and creating a beautiful day on the side of the planet.
Perhaps I should go see her soon or something. Her temple is so relaxing with the golden shape of the sun and designs to make it represent day time. I remember when she and I watched people having fun at the beach in the sky.
And she really seems to like me. But sometimes she likes how naive and childish I am. It's what I do to keep the fun going.
Right now I'm visiting her temple to see if she's doing okay. When I arrived, I saw her laying on a sun bed having a tan, "And how's my favorite feline friend doing?" I teased with a smirk.
"Purrfect I'd say" Blaze got up and took her sunglasses off.
"Don't forget. The other side of the planet will be morning in a few hours. I hope you're not fighting fire with fire. Literally" I said.
"Nah, just chilling out" Blaze said.
"Chilling is my middle name" I teased her and used my winter powers to create an ice cream for my kitty, "Vanilla ice cream?"
"Thanks" Blaze accepted it and I made one for myself.
"I hope the sun didn't give you sunburn all day. I would be worried" I said while having my ice cream.
"Nah, if I do my skin would be too bleached" Blaze said, "And I hope you didn't catch a cold" She teased me.
"Sometimes but my sneezes are like blizzards" I joked.
"Hilarious" She playfully rolled her eyes.
