----- Hedgehog Kisses -----

I remember him siting on the floor in my room. He was so cute the way he cocked his head as
he stared into the floor-length mirror I had propped up. I'm guessing he thought his
reflection was another hedgehog because he tried to find it with his nose. He was such an
angel. And he was all mine.

I had yet to give him a name. Nothing seemed to fit. I tried all the names a six-year-old
girl could think of: Joe, Blacky, Spike, Red, Bob. Nothing worked. I watched as he ran up to
the mirror, almost slaming into it. He was a fast little bugger, I had to admit. And that's
how I came up with his original name: Sonic. He was Sonic the Hedgehog.

I remembered wanting to try it on him, so I called him. He came to me with out hestation,
surprisingly. I never knew one could train a hedgehog to come, but it was the way he came
that almost killed me with hysterics. He couldn't quite get a grip on the metal floor, so he
slipped and fell while paddling his way to me. I think that if one of my grandfather's
colegues had walked by my door just then, he could have sworn I had a real locomative in my
room.

Sonic slammed into my arms and immediatly started to lick my face. Hedgehog kisses are funny!
I couldn't stop the laughs, they tickled so much. It scared me when he suddenly lept out of
my arms. But when he started rolling across the floor, I couldn't wait to join in. Oh we
must have summersaulted for hours before the dinner announcement came through over the com.
Sonic cocked his head at the sound causing me to laugh. I picked him up and stuffed him into
my pocket before running to the cafeteria.

Author's Note: Hedgehog kisses do tickle by the way. Especially if your hedgehog happens to
know your tickle spot is on your feet. ~_~;

Please R/R! Flame it if you want! My room is cold so I can use the flames for something.
