Uhhhh, I've been falling behind with requests so much lately so I'm really sorry about this to those who continue to wait. On that note, massive shout out to Jowy Avilon for helping me out. You really are a life saver. Also, do you like the cover GummyGal did? I think she's an amazing artist and you should definitely check out her stuff.

Thanks for all of the awesome reviews! I own nothing.

Requested by Monkey D. Conan. I'm so sorry, I had to change the title slightly because it wouldn't fit.

Boom: Everything But Sniffing Each Other

The people of the village were just going about their normal, daily business. People shopped, people worked on the stores and people stopped to have friendly conversations with each other. The sun's rays were pleasantly warm on this spring's day and the trees were swaying in the slight breeze. Yes, just a normal day.

BOOM!

Everyone froze at the sudden sound of an explosion in the distance. They turned towards the sound to see a cloud of smoke rising from behind some trees. Everyone continued to stare for a few seconds before shrugging it off and continuing what they had previously been doing. Oh yes, just a normal day.

"Nice swing Amy." Sonic complimented the beaming pink hedgehog as they stood by the wreckage of Eggman's latest robot that smoke continued to drift out of.

"Thanks, I've been practicing." She smiled as she twirled her hammer around in her hand before resting it on the ground and casually leaning against it, blushing slightly as Sonic continued to watch her.

Tails, Knuckles and Sticks watched their interaction in silence from a few feet away. They watched how the two hedgehogs seemed to be unconsciously moving towards each other. How they spoke to each other as if they were the only two people in the world. Anyone with eyes could see what was going on here. They continued to watch as the pair of them started wandering off together as if no one else existed and as if nothing had just happened.

"Well, it seems those two have no time for us anymore." Knuckles noted.

"Yeah," Tails smirked, "I think we all know what's going on here."

"They don't like us anymore?" Knuckles responded.

"The government is controlling their minds to make them think they're the only ones that exist?" Sticks also chimed in.

Tails sighed in frustration. "No no. They're in love."

Knuckles sighed dreamily. "I too was in love once…with this wonderful sandwich I made one day…but I ate it." He added the last part sadly.

Tails rolled his eyes.

"Oh it's all starting to make sense now." Sticks smirked. "Spring is in the air and they've chosen each other as mates. It's no wonder they can't leave each other alone lately and keep spacing out around each other. Why, they're doing everything but sniffing each other!"

"Errr, I guess." Tails agreed. That's not quite how he would put it, but there was a lot of truth to what Sticks had said.

"We should set them up." Knuckles smirked and Sticks nodded in agreement.

"Or we could just let things progress naturally?" Tails suggested before he frowned and his ears drooped once he caught the expressions on their faces. "You guys just want to interfere don't you?"

A sudden wheezy cough from the pile of smoking metal caught their attention.

"Erm, pardon me," Eggman choked out before he pushed a piece of scrap metal off him. He heaved himself to his feet before brushing off the dirt from his clothes and began walking towards the gang. "But I couldn't help but overhear the little debate that you were having."

"I bet you couldn't" Tails frowned at their arch nemesis.

Eggman ignored his comment. "And I've decided to help you with getting Sonic and Amy together."

"You want to help us?" Knuckles folded his arms and glared at Eggman suspiciously.

"Don't listen to him!" Sticks shrieked as she crouched into a defensive position. "He's just going to betray us at the last minute like he always does!"

"Oh come on," Eggman moaned, "Why would I do such a thing?"

"Because you're Eggman," Tails responded in a bored tone, "It's what you do."

"Really? Is this the face of someone who would betray you?" Eggman smiled widely down at them and the three of them exchanged an unconvinced glance.

"What's in this for you?" Knuckles demanded.

"Because I can use her against Son – I mean…because they make such a lovely couple." Eggman's smile grew impossibly wider. "But seriously, even I'm getting tired of them not admitting their feelings for each other. Even I've noticed!"

Knuckles glanced at everyone seriously, "Ok, so we need to come up with a plan."

"I already have one." Eggman responded immediately, raising his hand in the air excitedly. "Pick me!"

Knuckles pointed at him. "Ah yes the ugly gentleman in the back with the weird moustache."

Eggman glared at him and growled out, "I'll pretend I didn't hear that," before he offered his plan in a determined tone. "Ok, so, one of you guys will steal Amy's hammer from her before leading her into the village centre. Then I'll appear with one of my robots and pretend to capture her and you guys need to put up a good performance without actually harming me. Sonic will no doubt appear and save her. Tails will set up a large sound system that will play romantic music and he will switch it on once Sonic has landed with Amy in his arms. In that moment, they'll have to kiss each other. Any questions?"

"Hmmm, this could actually work." Tails said, sounding slightly surprised.

"Which is the part where I come in again?" Knuckles asked, scratching his head in uncertainty.

Eggman clapped his hands together. "Then it's settled. What could go wrong?"

.

Sticks leaned against the wall of a store, whistling innocently to herself as Amy approached her. Amy looked slightly confused at her best friend's behaviour, but decided to shrug it off because after all, did Sticks ever act normal? She smiled and waved at the orange badger as she came closer.

"Hey Sticks." Amy greeted cheerfully.

"Huh? What? I wasn't doing anything." Sticks said quickly pushing herself off the wall and clasping her hands behind her back.

Amy looked startled at Sticks' reply as her eyes widened slightly before her expression turned to one of concern.

"Sticks, are you ok?"

"Sure." She replied. "Why wouldn't I be? Say Amy, do you mind if I take a look at your hammer for a second?"

"My hammer?" Amy repeated in confusion before summoning it. "Why?"

Sticks quickly snatched the weapon off her friend before laughing and bolting for the centre of the village.

"STICKS!" Amy yelled before chasing after her. "Is this your idea of a joke?!"

A few heads turned to stare at the two girls running through the village and Amy blushed slightly at the negative attention. Why was Sticks making a scene? Was she purposefully trying to embarrass her? Nothing was making any sense. Nevertheless, she continued to chase after her as she made her way to the village centre where four giant speakers were set up. Sticks continued running before Amy gasped in surprise as a giant robot suddenly stepped over one of the buildings, stopped in front of her and scooped her up into its strong metal gasp.

"Sticks!" Amy yelled in alarm before she heard the familiar evil laughter of Eggman. "Eggman!" She shouted at him in anger. "You put me down right now!"

"And why would I want to do that?" Eggman smirked from in between Orbot and Cubot as she struggled to break free of the robot's iron grip.

"Oh no!" Knuckles yelled in a flat tone. "Eggman has captured Amy. Is there anyone who can save her?" He then ran over and gently punched the robot in the leg.

"The robot appears to be indestructible!" Tails cried out in a melodramatic voice. "What ever will we do? Is there no one who can save her?"

Amy stared down at them all in confusion. Had everyone lost it? "Errr…guys…?"

Tails then ran over to the robot, acting as if he was going to attack before the robot swung its other arm around, hitting Tails painfully hard in the chest, sending him flying backwards and into a building. Tails gasped in surprised and clutched his chest in agony and frowned up at Eggman in confusion.

"Eggman, what are you doing?" Tails managed to choke out. "This wasn't part of the plan. You said no one would get hurt."

"Did I?" Eggman questioned and pretended to think for a moment. "No, I'm pretty sure I just told you not to hurt me."

The robot's grip on Amy grew painfully tighter and she gasped as the air was practically squeezed out of her. Tails, Knuckles and Sticks looked up in horror before the robot easily kicked Knuckles away who landed directly on top of a fruit stand.

"You jerk!" Tails yelled at Eggman in anger. "I knew this was a bad idea."

"What exactly is going on?!" Amy demanded in a slightly higher pitch voice as the robot continued to constrict around her, making it harder and harder for her to breathe.

"Eggface" A familiar voice suddenly yelled. "Are you causing trouble again?"

Everyone froze and turned to face Sonic who was stood in the centre of the street with a cocky smirk on his face and his arms folded. His quills blew slightly in the breeze and his friends sighed in relief at the sight of him. Eggman's smirk widened.

"Ah Sonic, we've been waiting for you." He snickered. "Are you going to come and save your girlfriend or what?"

Sonic didn't even have time to react as the robot suddenly jolted forward. Eggman's expression became startled and confused as the robot suddenly began moving around erratically. He tried as hard as he could to regain control, but is was to no avail.

"What's going on?" Eggman demanded before looking at Orbot and Cubot angrily. "You did test this robot didn't you?!"

"I cannot recall you ever issuing such a command." Orbot replied a little worriedly.

"Yeah," Cubot agreed, "And you didn't ask us either."

"I'll stop this thing!" Knuckles yelled before running towards the robot to punch it for real this time. However the robot kicked him again in its uncontrollable state, sending Knuckles flying back into the small DJ area Tails had set up to play the music. Slow romantic music began blaring throughout the area and Tails slapped a hand against his face as Knuckles sat up dizzily.

"Oooooh, pretty music." Knuckles said as his head spun before he collapsed back down again.

Sonic stared at the speakers in confusion before glaring determinedly at the robot. "Not exactly ideal battle music, but oh well. You're going down Eggman!"

Quickly bending down, Sonic curled into a ball and spindashed towards the robot. As usual he easily sliced through the middle, rendering the robot inactive as sparks flew out of it. The robot threw Amy out of its grip, sending her flying backwards. Sonic easily uncurled and caught her in his arms before he gracefully landed on the ground, still holding onto Amy bridal style as they both watched the robot. The lights on it went out before it slowly fell, its metal clanging as it hit the rocky ground.

Everyone stood around and watched in silence as the romantic music continued to blare. Eggman then growled and managed to wiggle his mech free before hovering in the air as he glared down at Sonic.

"Don't think this is the last you're going to see of me." He snapped, stomping his foot like a child. "I'll be back." He then began to turn around and fly away before he froze and flew back down to speak once again. "Errr before I leave, are you going to ask Amy out yet?" He asked with a slight tone of excitement.

"Just get out of here Egghead before I give you the same treatment!" Sonic threatened as he finally placed a blushing and uncomfortable looking Amy down.

Eggman sweated nervously before flying away with hesitation. "Going, going, gone."

Sonic sighed in annoyance before Tails and Knuckles limped over to them, closely followed by Sticks who still carried Amy's hammer in her hand. The badger smiled nervously before handing her hammer back to the pink hedgehog, who glared at her in irritation.

Sticks' smile dropped before she frowned at Sonic and Amy. "That's it!" She yelled. "I've had enough of this! Sonic, Amy, you obviously like each other so just get it over with and go on a date."

Sonic and Amy's eyes widened simultaneously and both blushed and exchanged an awkward glance. Sticks then turned and walked away proudly while Tails and Knuckles stared at her in shock before turning back to Sonic again, gasping in surprise when Sonic rubbed the back of his head while Amy's blush grew darker.

"So, Amy," Sonic cleared his throat nervously, "Do, I don't know, wanna get something to eat together?"

Amy gasped at his request, her blush refusing to fade before she smiled widely as she tried to contain her excitement. "Sure, I'd love to." She managed to squeak out her reply.

Sonic and Amy then both rolled their eyes as the crowd around them began to cheer.
