-Uminari City, Earth—
*"Welcome to Station Square" Sonic Adventure OST*

After the Airport disaster, the trio of aces had to go back home for the holidays. Sonic, Shadow, and Amy tagged along for extra training. Getting the trio of hedgehogs settled into Uminari wasn't too difficult. Shadow was to stay with Fate and her adopted mother Lindy, Amy was accepted into the Yagami household. And as for Sonic? Well…

-Midori-ya Café, Takamachi Residence-

"Everyone, this is Sonic the Hedgehog, he just enlisted in the TSAB Armed Forces as a cadet and I'm going to be training him" Nanoha announced to her family.

Her family consists of Shirō Takamachi, Nanoha's father who is the formal head of the family and ex-bodyguard, Momoko Takamachi who is Nanoha's mother, Kyouya Takamachi who is the eldest brother, and Miyuki Takamachi who's younger than Kyouya, but still the oldest sister in the family. Shirō is a man in his early 40s with light-brown hair and matching eyes. Momoko Takamchi is a woman in her 30s and bears the same eye and hair color as her youngest daughter. Kyouya has dark-brown hair and matching eyes. Miyuki has long black hair pulled into a long braid, and green eyes underneath her glasses. All of the Takamchi family were clothed civilly, as was their blue guest, Nanoha managed to convince him to put on a pink t-shirt, the hedgehog didn't seem bothered by it being pink, fact he kind of liked it, rather it being uncomfortable with his fur and quills, but he managed.

The blue hedgehog greeted the family with a fanged smile and a wave "Yo!" which got a mixed reaction from the family.

Shrio seemed to be the most calm among the family, he offered the hedgehog a hand "We'll be pleased to welcome you to our family Sonic"

Sonic shook his hand politely "Thank you, but you don't seem to be too surprised. Why is that?"

Momoko came close to her husband and answered the hedgehog "It isn't the first time Nanoha-chan brought home a stray, she has been very responsible, especially with her job."

Miyuki agreed, but Kyouya had a different thought in mind. He walked up to Sonic and gave him a serious look "Make sure you treat my younger sister right, she can take care of herself but she has pushed herself too much and was hospitalized."

Sonic gave a solemn nod, he was told about this by Vita on one of his first days as a cadet.

Miyuki requested "She is training you, but please keep an eye on her." The rest of the family agreed with the request.

The blue streak gave a serious nod "Right, I'll watch over her."

Nanoha didn't seem too happy "I'm fine, honest. You don't need him to watch over me."

Miyuki shook her head "Nanoha, you were always stubborn, we worry about you because we love you. Anyways, didn't you say when you came out that you were going on a trip with Fate, Hayate, Alisa and Suzuka?"

The youngest Takamachi pouted when Miyuki mentioned her stubbornness then recovered and grabbed Sonic by the arm "Yeah, we'll be back in a few days and in time for Christmas, it's been a while since I last saw them, come on, I'll go introduce you to them now then we can leave." and dragged the blue blur out of the house. Her family shared some laughs.

-Suzuka's Mansion-
*"Emerald Town" Sonic Battle OST*

Sonic and Nanoha soon met up with Fate and Shadow and Hayate(with her Wolkenritter in tow) and Amy at this huge mansion with limos, like over 5 stories, the works. Course this was just a meeting place, they met up with a purple haired girl and a blonde haired girl. The dirty-blonde looked to be the more energetic and excited one while the purple-haired appeared to be calm and kind.

"Alisa-chan, Suzuka-chan!" Nanoha greeted the duo. "Meet our new friends, they sort of dropped in while we were jogging a few months ago, and now they're part of the Bureau under our training"

The purplehead introduced herself "Tsukimura Suzuka, you can call me Suzuka though."

The dirty-blonde followed suit "Bannings Alisa, just call me Alisa."

"I'm Amy, Amy Rose" The pink hedgehog introduced herself in response

Shadow followed stoically "Shadow. Shadow the Hedgehog"

And finally Sonic "Hey! I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog! Nice to meet you!"He added in English, which got the attention of Alisa and the two just started an English conversation, the others listened, with sweatdrops.

"Hey! You speak English too?" Alisa asked Sonic in English

"That's Right!" The blue streak answered again in English

"Wow! And fluently too, that's rare in Japan, usually even among us, I'm the one who scores the highest in it." Alisa seemed amazed

"I've travelled all over the earth, heh, I can probably do a few laps right now too. I've picked up on a language or two." Sonic responded, their conversation ended with a few more lines

After the two English-speakers were done they went into Suzuka's limo, driven by their head maid Noel K. Ehrlichkeit and her younger sister Farin, who is also Suzuka's personal maid. Noel is the taller maid with light purple hair cut short, while Farin has longer darker purple hair. The drive to the resort and condo that Suzuka's family rented out for the winter. And during the time the duo got to know the hedgehog's better.

"So where are you from anyway?" Alisa asked as she leaned against her seat facing the trio of hedgehogs.

"Well, Shadow was created aboard the Space Colony ARK, which floats in space around this planet. Amy, I'm not so sure about, no one asked until now. And as for me, Christmas Island, and as for the world, believe it or not, Earth." Sonic answered

"You're from Earth? Then why haven't we heard of you?" Suzuka asked, a bit shocked

"Well…. Most of my adventures were in isolated islands, the only creatures there were animals. Ever since Station Square though, my adventures have involved humans." The blue blur speculated.

"Station Square, wasn't that the city that was destroyed by that huge water beast we saw in the news?" Alisa asked, a bit intrigued by the hedgehog.

Sonic nodded, though he looked a bit sad "Yeah… So many lives were ruined that day, and the damage Perfect Chaos's wrath caused was irreversible."

"ARK… I've heard of it before, wasn't it created over fifty years ago? It was known as one of the most amazing feats of engineering, and didn't it also nearly crash with Earth?" Suzuka asked, her interest was due to her family being rich engineers, and she had already an interest in continuing that.

"Yes, the ARK, Professor Gerald created it to work on creating me, he built it so that his granddaughter Maria could live without her virus spreading. The ARK was to collide with Earth because the Professor programmed it to when he went insane from Maria's death on the ARK. Sonic and I used the power of the Chaos Emeralds to initiate Chaos Control and stop the ARK." Shadow confirmed

"Didn't someone fall from the ARK? Because I saw two yellow beings but one of them fell back to the planet after The ARK was stopped" Fate asked

"That was Shadow, he wasn't able to maintain his Super Form after Chaos Control, and somehow I was able to. What happened after that Shadow? Tails, Knuckles and I saw you a few months after that, but you didn't seem to remember us" Sonic asked his ebony rival.

"Eggman found me, and healed me, but it was only later that I found his true intentions were to clone me into an army. Omega saw to the factory's destruction aboard the Egg Fleet" Shadow replied

"Omega?" Nanoha asked

"E-123 codenamed: "Omega" The last of Eggman's E-series, I hear he tossed him out. When I saw him with Shadow and Rogue, another of Shadow's comrades, he wanted to destroy all of Eggy's robots because he was thrown out." Sonic answered leaning against the seat of the limo "Wow! This is a sweet ride! Talk about First Class travel!"

Suzuka giggled "Thanks, my family's been successful in engineering and I plan on continuing it."

The maids listened in from the front seat of the limo, in a matter of time they arrived at a winter condo owned by Suzuka's family, Suzuka explained that the condo has access to the local ski resort, and a wide hot springs spa, much to Hayate's enjoyment. They spent the rest of the day exploring the village of the resort as well as buying gear for skiing and snowboarding.

-The Next Day-

Everyone woke up bright and early, and got ready for some action on the slopes. In a matter of minutes everyone was ready. Sonic, Shadow, and Amy grabbed boards that fit them. Sonic used a blue and light blue trimmed snowboard, Shadow had a grey, black and red snowboard, and Amy had a hot pink and red board. Sonic wore a sky-blue jacket with red trims. Amy had a hot pink outfit to match her board. Shadow had a grey jacket to match his board. Alisa dressed up in a yellow jacket black pants and black helmet outfit and had a yellow board. Suzuka grabbed pair of purple skis and poles, and wore a purple jacket, black pants, and light purple helmet. Nanoha decided to try snowboarding, even though she's never done it once in her life, she rented a pink and white board with a matching white, pink and blue trimmed outfit. Fate played it a little bit safe by trying out skiing, black skis and poles, and a black and yellow ski outfit to match. Hayate also grabbed skis, her outfit being white and black with matching skis and poles. The Wolkenritter seemed uninterested in the skiing itself, but nonetheless grabbed skis of their own with outfits and went to watch Hayate. When everyone was ready they boarded the lift and went up to the mountain

-Ski Resort—
*"White Acropolis ~Snowy Peak" Sonic (2006) OST*

Nanoha was visibly having the biggest trouble, when she tried to go down a small run she fell face forward into the snow. For a few minutes everyone watched and sweatdropped as she kept getting back up but falling face first again. Sonic, being the nice guy he is, rode down to her and helped her up, course they were like only 5 meters downhill.

"Are you alright?" Sonic asked the white-clad newbish boarder.

"I'm fine, Sonic" Nanoha pouted.

"Here let me show you, balance yourself and let the board guide itself, only suggest to it where to go by leaning" The blue streak giggled and rode down half the run in an experienced way, slowly so that Nanoha could watch. Nanoha, being a quick learner, followed suit, finding that albeit it's a little difficult because Sonic had a different stance (him is normal left-foot forward, Nanoha is right foot forward goofy stance) she manages to actually stay balanced until she reaches the hedgehog, who gave her a fanged grin.

"There you go! All right! Everyone lets have some fun now" The hedgehog took off, Nanoha and the others followed suit down for the first run. They arrived at a 4-person express ski-lift. Suzuka, Sonic, Shadow and Nanoha took the first lift; Amy, Hayate, Alisa and Fate took the second right behind them; and the Wolkenritter all fit on the lift behind them. As they rode Suzuka informed about the good places to go. After their warmup and lift ride they got to another run, this one having a blue square difficulty (medium for those who don't ski). This run had bumps and jumps for those adventurous.

Sonic went first, followed by the others; he rode and drifted at a medium pace, at the first leap he caught air "Oookaaaay!" he cheered as he performed a spin and grab combo in air. Nanoha followed suit still learning the ropes but with Sonic's help she manages to get the hang of it quick, at her jump she performed a grab and twist but barely stuck her landing and almost fell. Fate followed suit on her skis, at her leap she played it safe with a simple tuck but it proves effective with her landing. Suzuka was behind her and at her turn performed a 360. Alisa was after with a nosegrab, and landed with a great balance. Shadow performed a fast twirl and Amy followed with a grab and spin. Hayate played it safe on her skis and skipped it, the Wolkenritter followed suit. After a few more jumps and turns they reached the lift again and rode up. Following Suzuka's suggestions the group managed to ski/board all over the mountain hitting all the great places. Eventually at around noon time they called it for lunch.

-Condo -
*insert: "Welcome to Station Square"*

Everyone had a nice lunch and talked about their adventures. Sonic and Amy shared great details about their friends, even having a laugh about Knuckles's gullibility. Later that night the girls and hedgehogs decided to relax in a hot springs spa that was indoors and came with her resort.

-Hot Springs Spa-
*Insert: "Having Fun" Sonic Battle*

Sonic and Shadow discarded their gloves, shoes and socks to the side of the mixed bathing area. Soon the other girls came out, all in bathing suits, some more revealing than others, but that's beside the point. Everyone hopped in and relaxed. Sonic was at peace because while he can't swim, in shallow waters he's fine. Course there wasn't all nice and peaceful relaxation here, there had to be some form of "excitement", a particular brunette wanted to make sure of that.

First young Amy Rose, this little pink hedgehog was merely laying back enjoying her bath, off in one of her dreams about her blue idol. She was interrupted when she felt two human hands fondling her chest and the familiar voice of Hayate "Ooh, small, but you have something there." She blushed and shrieked in surprise, which alerted herself to the others relaxing. Shadow didn't seem affected at all; he was purely stoic and emotionless. Sonic had an interesting reaction, he just stood there speechless. Nanoha and the others were not so much surprised, they were used to the antics of the brunette.

"H-hey! W-what are you doing ? Let go!" Amy blushed and turned to face Hayate. The brunette only giggled and continued, however, what she wasn't expecting, was karma in the form of Alisa Bannings, to strike! The brunette found herself groped by the dirty-blonde-head.

"Well, Hayate-chan, you could have seen this coming." Alisa giggled and continued her work, which caused Hayate to release a blushing Amy from her grasp.

Sonic's reactions were rather amusing, he was speechless and sputtering. Soon all the girls he came with were on a skinship spree. Even Amy couldn't resist after giving in. And the blue hedgehog's expression just kept getting funnier.

"Hey, you know, we shouldn't be the only ones having fun here." Hayate said and pointed to Sonic

"You know Sonic, I wouldn't mind if you groped me like that" Amy said dreamily and the other girls with the exception of the Wolkenritter approached and cornered him.

"What! No way! Oy! Let me go! Oy! Oy!" Sonic tried to protest but soon found himself grabbed by the arms by Nanoha, who giggled "Not a chance, Sonic, you're going to be living with girls for a while, you might as well get used to the antics." Nanoha "guided" the hedgehog's hands and showed him how these girls have "Fun" in a hot spring. For at least 20 minutes the girls each took their turn teasing the little blue hedgehog. His ebony rival just sighed and turned away from the commotion, as funny as it was to see Sonic being teased, Shadow had no interest in their antics. Eventually it mellowed out to just relaxing in the large tub. After eating dinner they all slept for the night, for the next day was to be a shopping trip and fun in the snow.

-The Next Day—
*Insert: "Holy Summit (Arena)" Sonic Battle OST*

Everyone woke up to snow outside of the condo, the girls and hedgehogs all went outside to play. Shadow and the Wolkenritter aside from Vita merely watched as the girls divided into teams for a snowball fight. Sonic, Nanoha, Suzuka and Vita for Team A; Hayate, Amy, Alisa and Fate for Team B. Team A started when Sonic made snowballs at mach pace and flung them at the other team, who dodged half and got pelted by the others. Fate and Alisa teamed up for a double combination of flinging snow, not wanting to be outdone by the blue streak, this combination got some success as the other team was nailed by them. Suzuka also took a few shots, which all hit and actually stung a little bit, Sonic wondered if her abilities were superhuman with the feats she was showing during this. Hayate tried her own hand and tossed a few snowballs with Amy helping, more hits and misses around everywhere. Nanoha and Vita finally got the last toss with a powerful combination of throwing, which nailed everyone. In the end the participants laughed and went inside for breakfast. After the breakfast the group went into the village for some more shopping and to spend the day.

-Village-
*Insert: "Welcome to Station Square" Sonic Adventure OST*

First stop in this village was a shop for souvenirs and clothing for the holidays, Sonic was persuaded to buy a red Santa Clause holiday hat and matching jacket. Under Hayate's "suggestions" the girls bought holiday outfits of their own, albeit these ones were inclined to reveal certain features they had. Shadow unfortunately had no interest and didn't buy anything. Soon after their shopping they went to a small restaurant for lunch. Then there was the skating rink, everyone had a lot of fun aside from Shadow once again who didn't appear interested and only leisurely skated, while the others had fun and enjoyed themselves. After an eventful shopping trip they returned to the condo for a nice party and dinner for the holiday celebrations, course the girls were in the outfits they bought per Hayate's idea.

The next day everyone returned home, Nanoha and Sonic went back to her house and celebrated Christmas with her family, a nice heartwarming dinner and celebration of the spirit of the holidays. They toasted to new beginnings and hopes for new adventures
