It had been a week since Sonic's last spanking, and the hedgehog was feeling rather proud of himself. However one day he feared that streak was coming to an abrupt end.

Against his better judgment, Eggman allowed Sonic to run outside in the fenced-in backyard. He had two rules, however: No climbing trees and no climbing over the fence. So what did Sonic do as soon as he was bored of just running around and Eggman was not looking? He climbed up the 20-foot pine in the corner of the yard, enjoying still being able to hop from branch-to-branch without his speed. He sat for awhile up in the tree, and soon he realized he had to come down soon.

Easier said than done, now that he could not simply bend the laws of physics by running down with his speed. And he was up way to high to jump without serious injury or death. He had two options now: Either he could yell for Eggman's help, or he could try and get down himself and hope Eggman would not notice he was up there. There were cons to both of those options as well.

If he called for Eggman to help, there would be no denying he had climbed the tree and he would be punished swiftly and harshly. If he tried to get down himself, there was a big possibility that he could fall and break something. Eggman would then still know he climbed the tree, but at least it would be awhile before he was punished. That is, IF he fell.

So Sonic decided to try and climb down. It went well for the first 5 feet down, but at that point it literally went downhill. Eggman came outside, and Sonic saw him before Eggman looked up at the frightened hedgehog.

"SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!"

His name being shouted coupled with the redness of rage in the doctor's face made Sonic so nervous he slipped on a branch and started to fall. Sonic closed his eyes tight and waited for impact.

There was a sort of impact, but it was quite different from what he was expecting. It was as if he was on a trampoline, going down and coming back up. He opened his eyes, and saw Eggman had caught him, and was now staring at him with a look of disappointment and extreme anger. Sonic gulped, the fear from falling and the fear of what was to come making it difficult to think.

Eggman carried Sonic to his room, and set him in the corner. Not saying a word, Eggman rummaged through the closet in the hallway, Sonic taking sideways glances to see what the mustachioed man was doing. When he saw Eggman pull out a switch, he gulped again, and put his face in his hands facing the intersecting walls. He really messed up this time. His tail quivered at the pain that was to come, as if he was already bracing himself for a surprise blow.

Eggman for his part calmed himself down. He knew he was way too angry to deal with his charge, so he simply sat on the edge of Sonic's bed and watched the hedgehog, mentally preparing himself for what he was about to do. This was going to be severe, but it would take meticulous planning for it to be effective and not brutal. Nodding to himself, he deemed himself and Sonic ready for the punishment to begin.

"Sonic, come here."

Sonic's head jerked up, and he squeaked. He turned slowly from the corner, still sitting, and said in a wavering tone.

"I'm-I'm good here, thanks."

That was not smart, to say the least. Eggman felt a bit of anger swell up again, and it showed on his face. He grit his teeth, and narrowed his eyes. Walking over to Sonic, the egg-shaped man lifted the hedgehog by the back of his neck and rewarded his remark with two swats, one on each cheek. Sonic gasped, and squirmed. After the smacking Eggman dragged Sonic over and stood him in between his knees.

"Sonic, look at me."

Sonic flinched, and hesitantly looked up at Eggman.

"What you did was VERY dangerous. And disobedient. You could have gotten yourself killed if I had not been there to catch you, and you DELIBERATELY climbed that tree after I said not to. It's safe to say you have earned every bit of the punishment you are about to get."

With that Eggman took Sonic's hands in his, and asked in a stern tone, "Now, what is our policy?"

"G-good he-hedgehogs…get r-r-rewards…n-na-na-naughty hedgehogs…g-get sp-spanked. I….I was a n-naughty hedgehog…for climbing a tree…when I was told not to…and…I'm gonna…..be sp-spanked…"

Eggman nodded and bent him over the side of the bed right next to him, and placed a stern hand on the small of Sonic's back. Raising the switch, Eggman sighed and let it fall.

CRACK!

"O-OWWWW! E-Eggman! T-too ha-hard!" Sonic immediately whined.

CRACK CRACK CRACK!

"OWW! OWWW! OWWWWWWW!"

Sonic started to squirm as the switching continued, but Eggman held him down firmly until his entire bottom was covered with red, stinging stripes. When Eggman finally put the switch down, Sonic was sobbing into his arms, clutching the blanket in his fists.

Eggman felt several yanks on his heartstrings, and immediately went to comfort Sonic. He lifted the hedgehog, and held him up to his chest, making sure his bottom did not touch anything. Sonic nuzzled himself into Eggman, seeking any kind of comfort he could get, even from his arch-nemesis.

Eggman sighed. The spanking was over and done with, but they had more of a ways to go.

R&R!
