During the whole week, Sticks taught Sonic and Knuckles how to survive in the wilderness. While it is true that Sonic has the best survival skills for surviveing villains, bad bots and monsters, Sticks has the best skills for staying alive in the wilderness since she'd used to live in the wild herself before she'd had to face Eggman when Sonic and her boom team came to her rescue and counted egg man and his robots.
When some his buzz bots were about to attack some of them from behind, Sticks joined the fight and when the boom team saw how great her fighting skills are, they agreed to take her in, teach her life in the village, how to fight Eggman's bots and even brought her a hut for her to live in.
Now she's teaching her two male friends on how to start fires, build traps, although Sonic doesn't actually need traps, but just in case after tails told them that there were goofing off making her reckon that it's the reason they couldn't even start a fire right while tails taught them how to build a tent. But Sticks didn't bother showing Sonic how to build his own shelter and hunt for food since he already knew how to do it remembering how quick he got a bucket of berries form gathering them from the trees in the meadows.
After the week of training, the entire boom team met at the same place at the meadows as before at 10:00am when they battled against each other in teams of twos. Sonic, knuckles, Amy and Sticks are all facing Tails standing in fount of them at the starting line.
"Okay, the same as last time when it's in teams, you four have four days to get to the finish. Now the rules. first of all, you're allowed to get help from other opponents, but only if you require it. Second, no cheating." Tails told everyone, piercing his eyes at Amy and Stick's bodies.
"After you lot come back, I'll be using a lie detector I've built myself to see rather or not you're cheating, one by one." Tails informed the components straitly.
Tails then lifted both his hands up. as the four opponents got on their marks and got set.
"GO!" Tails shouted as he moved his hands down.
All four of the opponents ran across the starting line pass Tails, everyone including Sonic going at a normal speed. They went on at about the same direction for four hours. For the first minute, they're were running and for every ten minutes for four hours they slowed down to hiking in the wilderness and continued running for one minute between the hiking. After four hours of running and hiking, they decided to stop for camp for the night.
Using his super speed, Sonic got ahead by gathering sticks from the forest floor, any that could be used to build a shelter and quickly found a place to rest for the night and and got started in building his hut from sticks. No not sticks the badger, wooden sticks. Then after he finished his hand made hut, he took a step back, admired what a fine job he did on building his own two person hut with sticks with two joints on each end of the sticks with sticks with no ends lined between them dug into the ground to make walls supporting sticks bundled together put on top of it to make a roof, complete with an entrance to it at the fontal side and sped off to find some food in the wilderness.
Meanwhile, Knuckles found himself an open space, like the one he shared with Sonic, but smaller but still wide enough for him to sleep and move around without his head hitting into tree branches. Then he went around the edges of the open space, searching for a big thick stick that's shaped like a till in ten minutes, managed to find one, picked it up, and head butted it into tee up north. then he looked downwards to the shadows of the trees branches.
"Two thirty I think." Knuckles told himself.
Then he rushed off out of the open space back into the woods to find anything he could use to start a fire.
Amy using her back pack, is gathering whatever that can be used as food from both the ground and fruit producing trees. So far she has three bananas, four wild mangos, two wild carrots and a wild mushroom, a kind that tails read to her in a book before that it's safe to eat in her opened back pack. Amy spotted two more mushrooms like that and approached to get when she suddenly head a zooming that startled her, a blue blur zoomed to warded her revealing to be Sonic.
"Hey Amy, you need some help?" Sonic offered Amy greet fully in a cocky manner.
Amy stared up towards Sonic in annoyance at him.
"No thank you Sonic, I'm fine." Amy answered Sonic rather annoyed but still in a calm manner, trying to keep her temper under control.
While she proceeded with her food hunting tusk and picked the two mushrooms off the ground, Sonic took his back pack off his back, puts it on the ground and opened it, revealing a bag full of picked wild fruit and veggies for Amy to see. In Sonic's back pack were wild carrots, wild mushrooms which are the same as Amy's picking, wild bananas and wild mangos. Amy mistakenly got a glimpse of food in Sonic's pack back. She looked up to Sonic in wonder, catching his arms crossed and a cocky grin on his face. She let out a sigh in frustration as she bowed her head down in that mood and then looked back up at him.
"Sonic, you know it's only going to be four days and would mind not hogging up all the wild food and be such a show off?" Amy reminded Sonic questionably.
"Yeah sure Amy and don't worry, Tails said we're allowed to help if needed. Now to be fair, you and Sticks pretty much left me with a wounded pride." Sonic told Amy.
Amy turned her head back left as she thought back on the look on Sonic's face when she and Sticks used that missile to beat him and Knuckles to the finish line after using it to get of it's luncher. Then she turned her head back and looked back up at Sonic again.
"Yeah I guess we've beaten you in an sort of an unfair way didn't we Sonic, I'm sorry." Amy apologised to Sonic.
"It's okay Ames I forgive both you and Sticks, Knuckles and I shouldn't have left you both for dead anyways, so we kind of deserved that." Sonic responded to Amy in forgiveness to her.
"You know Sonic, you should've grabbed Knuckles by the hand and used your super speed while me and Sticks rode that weapon." Amy pointed out to Sonic.
Sonic nodded to Amy's point in agreement. than he uncrossed his arms, grabbed his back pack, closed it and puts it back on his back. Then he looked down at Amy.
"I'll be taken the taking the stuff back to store by the berries then I'll be scarpering the woods for stuff to make a fire. I'll see you soon Ames." Sonic announced to Amy before speeding off in his super speed, almost creating a Sonic boom.
Amy chuckled as she shock her head in disbelief. She's supersede that Sonic still as the same normal level of intelligence aside from his risen ago. it must be because he'd been spending more time with Tails than with Knuckles. She would have to thank Tails for that. Amy went back to food hunting and found another ten of the same kind of wild mushrooms and seven wild carrots and went contiuned on her hunt for food.
Meanwhile with Sticks, she's already pitched up her tent based on remembering how Amy taught her on how to pitch it up. Now she's returning to her own camp sight, dragging her back pack to the middle of her camp site cause she had it filled with food picked from the wild trees and ground and dead leaves, rocks and sticks to make a fire, which made it heavy form the rocks. About half a foot from the middle of her camp site, She stopped dragging her back pack, wiped the sweat from her blow, quickly opened up her bag and took out the rock and out them into a circle, added the leaves and sticks to make up her fire place and used up the two together by rubbing one on the other as hard as she could till the hard rubbing made a spark. The spark spread onto the leaves and sticks as Sticks quickly dropped the two sticks into the fire before it made contact with her ungloved hands. Then she sat down, letting the heat of the fire warm her up, grabbed out a wild banana from her back, peeled it and started eating eat as she thought back of the other three opponents.
"I do hope Sonic, Knuckles and Amy remember how i taught them to build a fire. Especially knuckles cause he's a lot harder to teach than Amy. no wonder him and Sonic didn't do so well. I wonder how different it would be if it were Sonic and knuckles instead?" Sticks thought to herself as she went on chewing on her bit of wild banana.
back with Sonic, his sitting by his camp fire eating a plate of wild mushrooms and red berries as he enjoys the warmth the camp fire's giving him to warm him up in the chilly night.
"Man Tails is right. It does pay to train for it." Sonic said to himself as he grabbed another handful of berries from his plate.
As he wolfed them down, a rustling noise was heard from the trees and bushes behind him. Startled, Sonic instantly turned his head round to where the noise came from. He put his plate of food aside and turned the rest of himself to the direction he head it from as he got up on his feet in attack mode while also swallowing the berries, ready to attack rather it's egg man, one of his badnick's, or some kind of monster. The rustle of the leaves grew loader as Sonic's ears perked up in tense. As a final rustling of the trees and bushes occurred, out of the woods into Sonic's own camp site revealed to be Amy, somehow laughing as Sonic brought down his arms and legs out of the attack mode as his ears perked down slightly and puts his gloved hands on his hips as he looked at Amy relieved, but also annoyed to the fact that it's her.
"I'm just kidding Sonic, it's just me." Amy told Sonic laughing.
Sonic turned back and returned to where he was sitting before by the fire.
"What the heck Amy? You gave me a fright girl." Sonic told Amy off as he sat back down and invited Amy to sit next to him.
"Sorry about that Sonic." Amy apologised to Sonic as she walked up next to Sonic and sat down next to him.
Sonic grabbed a plate, puts some wild carrots and mushrooms on it and gives them =Amy who received it with a thanks.
"So Ames, how'd the food hunting go?" Sonic asked her as she looked at her.
"It went great, I got a bag filed with as much food as yours." Amy answered Sonic.
Sonic gave Amy a thumbs up in remark. Then he and Amy ate all the foods on their plates and spent an hour talking. Afterwards, Sonic Amy sang a couple of Songs while dancing around Sonic's camp fire and sat back down by the fire again.
Sonic and Amy stared at each other seduce fully. then Sonic leaned towards her most of the way and Amy leaned her face forward toads his and pressed her lips against his. Sonic and Amy then wrapped their arms around each other in a hugging mode as they made out. Sonic rubbed his hands up and down Amy's back to give her extra warmth as Amy did the same to him to return the favour. After thirty seconds of making out, Sonic and Amy brook the kiss and starred at each other lovingly.
"Sonic, I'm sorry for the way me and Sticks mocked you and Knuckles." Amy apologised to Sonic.
"Oh don't be Ames. You and Sticks trained for it, me and Knuckles didn't but goofed off the whole week instead. probably why you both out did us in setting up camp." Sonic told Amy.
Amy nodded her head to Sonic in agreement. Then she got her arms off Sonic, got up grabbed out a touch from the right fount pocket of her beautiful white dress and swathed it on before looking back right and downwards at Sonic as he looked up right and upwards to her.
"I gotta got back to my camp site. And thanks for the new compass. Goodnight Sonic." Amy said to Sonic.
"Goodnight Amy and be careful out there." Sonic said back to Amy.
As Amy started her way back, Sonic puts out the fore with the water he collected from the river earlier before the sun went down, closed his back pack, picked it up and went to his hand made hut for sleep tonight.
"Well so much for spending the night with my favourite girl. Oh well." Sonic said to himself as he placed the pack back next to his sleeping spot and crawled inside.
