I don't own Sonic the Hedgehog or Harvest Moon. I also don't own anything that belongs to someone else, including shows, songs, or turnips. Rated P.G.

Contains SonicAmy, TailsCream, KnuxRouge, Sally-bashing, characters and ideas from every official Sonic Universe (Sega, AoStH, SATAM, SU, Sonic Anime [aka Sonic the Movie], and SonicX)

Ok, welcome to this fanfic. What started off as a parody of Harvest Moon with Sonic characters became a story with a real plot. It starts off heavily based off of Harvest Moon: Back to Nature (PSOne), but becomes more Sonic based near the end.

And don't worry. This is one story I plan to write from start to end. I already wrote down the main plot in my notes, so this won't end up being abandoned like some fics (including one I wrote earlier.) On with the show!

Sonic the Hedgehog looked over what he inherited.  It was supposed to be a farm, but it looked like a jungle and some old buildings.

Sonic remembered visiting his Uncle Chuck here many years ago.  He was really young then.  He was notified that his Uncle went missing months ago, and that the farm was his.  He was no farmer, but he was sure that he could…

"Hey!  What do you think you're doing?!"

Sonic jumped out of his daydream and saw a rather large man at the gate.  "This is private property!  We're waiting for the old man's nephew to claim the farm, or we'll clear this dump out and put in a factory," the man bellowed.

"Sorry, no factory today. I'm Sonic. I'm Uncle Chucks' nephew."

The man looked shocked.  After he got over it, he examined the young hedgehog through his black glasses. "Is that so? Do you really think you can get anything to grow in this wasteland?"

"I'll give it a go, but just who are you?"

The man got a grin on his face. "I'm Dr. Eggman, the greatest mayor in the world!"

Sonic looked at him funny. "Ok, Eggman, I'll do my best to restore the…" he glanced at a sign near the entrance "the Freedom Farm!"

"Well, good luck then.  I'd give you the grand tour, but I've got some important business to attend to.  Enjoy your stay at Knothole Village!" Eggman then left.

Sonic checked his watch.  It was too late in the day to start working on the fields, so he decided to look around town.

His first stop was at the market.  A yellow squirrel was stocking the shelves.  "Oh, hello," he said when he noticed the blue hedgehog.

"Hi, I'm Sonic.  I just inherited the old farm and I need supplies."

The squirrel grinned. "You came to the right place. Name's Ray." He went over to a table with bags.  "These are the seeds you can grow.  We only have the ones that you can grow this time of year."

Sonic picked up some bags of turnips. As he paid for it, a girl came out of the back.  She was a bat wearing a jumpsuit and boots with hearts on the ends.

"Hey Ray, I'm going to the inn to get something to eat.  Did you want anything for dinner?" she said, then she saw Sonic. "Oh, we have a new customer!"

"This is Sonic.  He's running the old farm now.  Sonic, this is my sister Rouge," Ray said.

"Glad to hear it.  Business has been slow since Uncle Chuck disappeared," Rouge said.

"Wait, you call him Uncle?" Sonic asked.

"We all do," Ray said. "He always was so nice."

"Well, I gotta go. I want to get an early start tomorrow," Sonic said.   "See ya!"

Sonic ran home with the seeds in his arms. Along the road, he saw something brown.  He stopped to see what it was.

It turned out to be a person. A fox, to be more accurate. The fox was staring at the moon with a depressed look.

"Hey, are you OK?" Sonic asked him.

"I guess so," the fox said. "My name is Tails."

"Tails?  Why is that?"

Tails then got up.  It became evident that he had an extra tail behind him. He sighed. "I was born like this.  Most people think I'm a freak. I've never even had a friend."

"Don't think like that!" Sonic said. "Some people thought I was a freak too."

"Really? Why?"

Instead of answering, Sonic ran at top speed down the road to his farm, and came back with some cans of soda, all under five seconds. "I happen to be really fast. Here, have a drink."

Tails eyes got wide as he took the beverage. "That's incredible!"

"Yeah, and I'm sure you can find your tail as a huge advantage."

"Thank you.  But who are you?"

"My name is Sonic.  I'm restoring the old run-down farm."

"Cool. I'm staying at the inn, so I'm sure I'll see you around."

"Ok. Catch you later!" Sonic said, and he sped home.

Ok, that was short, and a bit bland, I admit, but the next one will be better. Go read it, I should have already finished it and uploaded it by now. R&R.
