Wow, people like my story. The hard part now is trying to keep it that way. Hopefully my later chapters can measure up. I'll just have to wait and see. I don't own any HM or Sonic characters, or Cha-Cha Slide (or is it Casper Slide?)

Sonic returned to his farm. Tails decided to come along. The first thing they noticed is the surface was bulging where the turnips were planted.

Sonic thought back to the book he was reading. "I think they're ready," he told Tails.

Sonic went over and grabbed the top of the turnip. With only a slight pull, the whole turnip came out. Sonic was surprised at how big and fresh it looked. He put it aside and pulled out another one. Pulling all these turnips reminded him of a video game he played as a kid…

"Hey Tails!" he said. "Do you see any Shyguys I can throw these at?"

Tails fell over laughing.

Soon, Sonic had pulled every turnip that was ready. He put them in the shipping bin. All except for the four biggest ones. He set those aside for something he was planning.

"Tails, could you water the rest of the plants while I tend to the animals?" he asked.

"Sure!" said Tails. Sonic gave him the soda can and Tails started to water the remaining plants.

Sonic noticed that Birdy had gotten bigger. He picked the chick up and noticed it got heavier too. He set it down and put some food out for it. It chirped happily and started eating.

Sonic then tended to Tornado and decided to let him run around in the field. Tails finished watering shortly thereafter.

"What are you going to do with those turnips?" Tails asked. They were walking down the road, each carrying two turnips.

"You'll see," Sonic said. They went into the inn.

"Hello Sonic, Tails," Vanilla said from behind the counter. "What can I do for you?"

"Could you cook a large meal? I brought some fresh vegetables from my farm."

Vanilla's eyes got big when she saw the turnips. "These are the best turnips I've seen! But why four of them? Did you plan on having a lot of people?"

"The whole town," Sonic said. "I want to celebrate my first harvest!"

"Sure thing. Everything should be ready by six," Vanilla said.

"Thank you. Let's go tell everyone, Tails." Sonic sped off with Tails following.

Vanilla started moving the turnips to the kitchen area. She was getting hungry just looking at them.

Sonic and Tails went around inviting everyone. They all said that they could come, except for Eggman and Snively, who had an "Important Meeting."

Their last stop was by the lake, where Amy and Cream were.

"Hey ladies. We're throwing a celebration at the inn tonight," Sonic said.

"What for?" Amy asked, interested.

"My first harvest," Sonic stated proudly.

"You should've seen them. Those turnips were huge!" Tails said.

"At the inn? My mom know about this, right?" Cream asked.

"Of course. She's going to be cooking the turnips," Sonic said.

"She might need my help. I'm gonna go."

"I'll come help out too," Tails said. They left, leaving Amy and Sonic alone.

"Feeling good, farmer Sonic?" she teased.

"Yup. Everything should be fine from here on out."

"So, you plan to stay? You're happy working on the farm?" Amy asked.

"Yes," Sonic said. "But not as happy as when I'm with you."

They stared at each other for a few seconds and then kissed.

Tails and Cream entered the kitchen and saw Vanilla choosing some family recipes that involved turnips. Cream's eyes got big when she saw the turnips. "You were right, Tails. They're giant!" She then turned to her mom. "Tails and I are here to help you cook, mom."

"Wonderful!" Vanilla said. She showed them the three recipes she chose to make. Each one had a photo of what the finished product looked like. "Here's what we're making."

When they saw the pictures, their mouths started to water and Tails stomach growled.

"Let's get started," Cream said.

Later that night, the inn was filled with people. Vanilla, Cream, and Tails only used three of the turnips, so they put the last one out on display for everyone to see.

Sonic had arrived a few hours ago to help with stuff like dishes and drinks. He was now greeting everyone. He recognized them all, except for three.

"Hi, I'm Sonic. I don't believe we met."

The first of the three was a large purple cat. "My name is Big. I'm a local fisherman."

The second one was a bee with flight goggles. "I'm Charmy. I run the wine villa next door. Try my wine sometime, it's great."

The third one was a purple chameleon. "I am Espio. I live alone in the forest, honing my ninja skills. I also am involved with construction, as the simplicity of carpentry balances my rigorous ninja training."

Sonic greeted more people, and was complimented on his large turnips. Vanilla, Cream, and Tails were also complimented on their fine cooking skills. Everybody loved the food.

"I'll play some music," Tails said after his second turnip sandwich. He took out his laptop and plugged the nearby stereo system into the headphone jack of the computer.

Sonic walked over. "Hey Tails, could you..." he whispered into Tails ear.

Tails smiled and searched his Mp3 collection. "No problem," he said.

Sonic walked over to Amy, who had finished eating her turnip salad. Tails started to play some slow dance music.

"May I have this dance?" Sonic asked Amy. She smiled and took his hand. Everyone cleared out the center of the room, and they started to slow dance. Soon, Cream and Tails joined them, as well as Knuckles and Rouge, and a few other couples.

Sally sat in the corner, eating. She saw Sonic dancing with Amy and started to sob. The people around her got annoyed and moved away from her in disgust.

It was nearly 10 when people started to leave. "Don't forget that your merchandise will be ready tomorrow," Shadow said to Sonic and Tails.

After everyone else left, Amy started bringing dishes to the back while Sonic swept the floor.

"That was fun!" Amy said.

"Yeah, except when I played the Cha-Cha Slide," Tails said. He had played that song, and the whole room started dancing to it. At least, until the point in the song where everyone stomped. When they did, the floor began to creek ominously, sounding like it was going to break. Everyone got too scared to continue.

"We should have this every year!" Cream said.

"Yeah, our own Harvest Festival," Sonic said.

Soon, they finished cleaning and went home and to sleep.

The next day, Sonic woke up to the sound of knocking on the door. "Delivery!" He heard Mighty say. Sonic opened the door and signed for the package.

"What is it?" he asked.

"It just says O.S. on the box," Mighty said.

"Oh, the operating system! Thanks! What do I owe you?"

"Actually…" Mighty started. He then handed Sonic some money in an envelope. "I was in a hurry to get to the party at the inn yesterday that I forgot to leave the money. I took out the cost of your order already."

Sonic looked in the envelope. It was almost as much as he made from all those bamboo shoots on the day he met Amy.

"Thanks," he said.

Sonic finished his other chores when Tails stopped by.

"Hey Sonic!" He called. "Ready to go to the blacksmith?"

"I'm ready," Sonic replied. The two left and went to the blacksmith, which just opened.

"Here you go," Shadow said as he handed Sonic the watering can. It looked brand new.

"And here's your necklace," Gerald said to Tails. It had all the jewels that Tails found mounted on a gold chain, with the red emerald in the center, kind of like a pendant.

Sonic and Tails each paid them for their great work. Tails put the necklace in his pocket. "I'm going to wrap it later," he said.

"Oh yeah, I got the operating system for Omochao in the mail today."

"Cool, stop by later and we can install it," Tails said.

Tails went back to his room at the inn, while Sonic went back to the farm. He tested his watering can and found out it could water a wide range. Satisfied, he picked up the package with the operating system and ran off to the inn.

When he got there, Tails already had Omochao on one of the tables with his computer hooked up to it.

"Do you think it'll work?" Sonic asked, handing the package to Tails.

"I'm sure it will. It will reformat and be just like from the factory. Then I'll restore the memories I downloaded before."

Tails opened the package and put the disc in his laptop drive. It only took about five minutes to finish the process. Tails then pressed the on switch on Omochao.

"Where am I? Who am I?" it asked.

"Just a second…" Tails said, and then started restoring the memory.

"There, done," he said.

"Sonic," Omochao said. "Did you find out the current price of chicken?"

Sonic laughed. "We've got some catching up to do."

The next couple weeks started to go by quick. Sonic now had three chickens by incubating the eggs that Birdy laid. He named the new ones Cluck and Peck.

Tornado was getting bigger and faster. Sometimes Sonic would race around the farm with him. They both enjoyed running in the fresh air.

With the upgraded watering can, Sonic started growing more plants at a time. Anything he grew was always an amazing size.

Cream's birthday was fun, and they had cake at the inn. She loved the necklace from Tails. They were becoming closer.

Amy and Sonic started to get closer too. They sometimes sat by the lake, or went for walks on the beach.

Then came the day of the Goddess Festival. Sonic did his chores fairly quick. He was cleaning himself up when he heard a knock at the door.

There stood Amy. She was wearing a long white gown and sandals. "How do I look?"

"I don't know," Sonic said. "It needs something."

"Really? Like what?"

Sonic reached into his rucksack and pulled out a white box.

"Here you go," he said, smiling.

Amy opened it and found a beautiful necklace and earrings. The necklace was kind of like the one Tails gave to Cream, except it had a green emerald.

"This is a present for you. It's also to make up for missing your birthday last month."

Amy looked at the jewelry. "It's beautiful…"she said. Then she thought for a second. "Hey, you only got here at the beginning of this month! You weren't even living here on my birthday! "

"Better late than never," Sonic said with a smirk.

Amy put on the jewelry and looked in a mirror. "Ready?" she asked.

"Let's go!" Sonic said.
