New chapter!
I don't own Sonic the Hedgehog or the fairy tale.
Read, review, and enjoy!
Sonic stopped walking and crossed his arms as he surveyed the quaint little cottage he was in. It was definitely a nice place and he then grimaced as he heard a girly voice squeal, "Sonic!"
Clenching his teeth as he began to fight off Amy from ambushing him with a hug, Sonic replied with a forced smile, "Hi Amy. Nice to see you too."
"Isn't this great Sonic? Just you and me-" Amy started dreamily as she stopped attempting to hug him.
"Hey! What am I?" a familiar voice fumed. Amy and Sonic turned around to see Silver, clearly outraged by what the pink hedgehog said. "What about me?"
"Oops. Sorry Silver." Apologized Amy.
Crossing his arms as he glared at the pair, the psychic hedgehog grumbled, "Tsk. Yeah, right."
"Okay, from what I've seen…it's the three of us and then someone else lives here," Sonic began, "and I think it's time we moved out."
"Why would you say that?" retorted Silver.
"C'mon. We don't want to be one of those people who live with their parents or guardians or whatever all their lives. Let's go while the going's good." Sonic pointed out and Silver gave a debating look. He saw three bags packed and ready to go. "And I think they want us to leave too."
"I actually have to agree with Sonic," Silver agreed, "that's pretty good reasoning."
Looking at the blue hedgehog completely love-struck, Amy remarked, "Oh, but Sonic and I'll stay together."
"Heck no. We'll stay close, but it's each hedgehog for themselves." Sonic told her. He looked between Amy and Silver. "So, let's tell whoever we crash with we're checking out."
Nodding at the plan they established, the three hedgehogs grabbed the bags and went outside to see if they could find their roommate.
Searching outside the cottage, Amy, Silver, and Sonic saw Blaze at the flowerbed tending to bright yellow tulips and the three hedgehogs looked at each other before going to her. Seeing the three hedgehogs, Blaze stood up and looked between them and started, "So, you finally decided to take your bags and go?"
"Well, hi to you too." Responded Silver, slightly surprised at Blaze's attitude towards them.
"What's with the wanting to send us off so badly?" Sonic questioned and Blaze put a hand on her hip.
"You guys have been mooching off me and I'm getting annoyed with it. You don't pay for anything or help me at all, so I figure you guys can go make it yourselves," explained Blaze, "that's why I got your bags packed and I threw some rings and some food in for you guys."
"Okay, let's go!" exclaimed Amy and Silver nodded in agreement.
"Well, before you go…I got some advice. First, always stay together. Second, spend your rings on what you want, but be careful on how you spend them. Oh, and watch out for Dr. Eggman. I've heard he's lurking around in this fairy tale…and you know he wouldn't like nothing better than destroying hedgehogs." Advised Blaze and Amy and Silver waved good-bye before starting to walk away.
Seeing Blaze with some slight worry that Amy and Silver did not hear her advice, Sonic reassured, "Ah, no need to worry Blaze. We'll be fine. I'll keep an eye on them."
"C'mon Sonic! Hurry up!" they both heard Amy and Silver shout and Blaze and Sonic saw Amy and Silver waving for Sonic to hurry up before they looked back at each other.
Giving her a smile before waving good-bye, Sonic dashed after the other two hedgehogs and Blaze could not help, but give a small sigh and shake her head. "Oh, I do hope they'll take my advice and listen to it." She remarked to no one in particular before returning to tending to her flowers.
After a few hours, the three hedgehogs stopped walking and Amy and Silver sat down under a shady large oak tree while Sonic jumped into the branches and laid back in them to rest for a few minutes and eat whatever Blaze packed them. Opening their bags, they each pulled out a granola bar and an apple. "Well, at least she was kind enough to leave us with something." Sonic told them and took a bite from his apple.
"Boy, I could sit here for hours. I don't think I can walk another step!" Amy commented.
Ignoring what she said, Silver remarked, "This is the life huh?"
"I'll say it's definitely a nice place," replied Sonic as he sat up on the branches and finished his apple, "but you two better speed it up. We have to keep going. We still gotta find somewhere to build our house."
"What's with you? You usually just wanna take time to enjoy life." Questioned Amy and Sonic jumped down before he tossed the apple core over his shoulder into the bushes.
"Yeah, but something tells me that my role in the story is to be the Nagging One," Sonic shrugged as he pulled his bag out of the tree and leaned against it, "so we better get going you two."
Sighing in annoyance, the other two hedgehogs quickly finished eating before getting to their feet and the trio of hedgehogs continued their journey.
The three hedgehogs made slow progress in their journey. In every town they stopped in, Amy and Silver spent their rings on material goods and snacks while Sonic, although he was extremely tempted by some of the things he saw, refused to spend his rings like a drunken sailor. While Sonic stopped to help an old lady get her pet out of a tall tree, Amy and Silver continued walking and went through a forest. Stopping on the other side, they saw a dark figure half hidden in the bushes and it appeared they were looking for something. Realizing who the figure was, Amy and Silver exclaimed, "Shadow!"
Seeing the duo running towards him, Shadow scowled as he stood up and groaned, "Oh…great…this is exactly what I don't need."
"What are you doing here?" questioned Amy.
Crossing his arms, Shadow scoffed, "Hmph. Obviously, I'm not playing a role in these ridiculous stories!" He quickly glanced around the edge of the forest before looking back at the two hedgehogs. "Where's Sonic?"
"Right here." Sonic answered as he jogged out of the forest to the other three hedgehogs and Shadow flipped his middle finger at the blue hedgehog as he let out a string of obscene words before skating out of sight. "What was that for?"
Already used to the scene of Shadow and his attitude of the whole situation they were in, Amy and Silver surveyed the area and Amy stated, "This is the perfect place to build our house!"
"Yeah! It's exactly where we want it!" agreed Silver and Sonic raised an eyebrow as he crossed his arms.
"Uh, no it isn't. This is too close to the kinda place Eggman would be lurking in." Sonic pointed out and Amy and Silver burst out laughing.
"Who's afraid of Dr. Eggman?" Amy and Silver teased in unison and Sonic scowled in disapproval.
"No, I'm just being smart." Sonic hotly responded.
"Oh, c'mon! Don't be such a sissy! We've walked all day and there's no sign of Dr. Eggman anywhere!" Silver told Sonic and Sonic clenched his teeth.
"Guys. I'm serious. This is exactly the kinda place Eggman would be hiding out!" repeated Sonic.
"Well, we're not leaving!" Amy told Sonic and Silver nodded in agreement.
"Okay, fine. You wanna stay here…you can stay here...I'm gonna go find somewhere sensible to build MY house!" Sonic firmly skated before storming away in frustration from the attitude the other two hedgehogs had to him.
"Gee, I wonder what his problem is." wondered Amy and Silver shrugged as a response.
A short while later, Sonic jogged back to Amy and Silver and informed, "I'm gonna go into town to buy some bricks and stuff for my house. You can do the same if you come with me."
"We can't! We have no rings!" replied Silver. "Amy spent all of hers on ice cream and tarot cards while I spent mine on comic books and video games!"
"Besides, it's way too much work to go building a brick house." Amy added and Sonic shook his head at them before making his way towards town to buy his building supplies.
Leaving town pushing a large wheelbarrow full of bricks, cement, and other supplies for building his brick house, Sonic stopped as he looked at the edge of the forest where Amy and Silver were going to build their houses and sighed. "Hmm. I should probably stick close to them and make sure nothing bad happens to them." He decided and rolled his purchases to a place a fair distance away from the forest, but not far away enough to not be able to see Amy and Silver.
Looking at the spot he picked again to be certain it was the right spot, Sonic started searching through the wheelbarrow. Pulling out a piece of paper and a pencil and beginning to sketch out the blueprint of his fortress, which he decided sounded cooler than a house, Sonic heard noises from behind him and turned around to see Amy holding a pile of straw and Silver a pile of sticks. "Uh, why are you two carrying sticks and straw?" interrogated Sonic.
"This is what we're gonna build our houses from." Silver answered.
Sonic pointed out, "You do know that Egghead could take that out easily, right?"
"We're not afraid of Dr. Eggman!" Amy stated. "And we're gonna go for a walk when we're done."
Watching the two hedgehogs as they tramped away, Sonic shook his head and looked back at his work as he sighed, "Oh, those poor hedgehogs. They are completely clueless."
Amy and Silver quite enjoyed their small walk. They played a few games of hide-and-seek, ate berries, picked flowers, made fun of Sonic and his paranoia about Eggman and now decided it was time to go to their houses for the night. As they continued their way out of the woods, Eggman smiled as he watched them and slightly laughed. "Oh, my Ultra Strong Wind Generator will be perfect for obliterating those hedgehogs!" Eggman thought to himself and quickly snuck away into his base in the woods.
Putting the last shingle of the roof on, Sonic jumped down and admired his work, full of pride at what he accomplished. Sure he worked hard, non-stop, and late into the evening, but seeing his fortress complete was worth it. Although, he did not have any supplies left; he used it to build some furniture. Walking into his fortress and locking the door, he went to the cupboard and searched for something to eat. He froze in place as he heard Eggman's evil laugh and gave an uneasy look. "That sounds like Eggman and if that is him…he knows we're here. I hope that Amy and Silver are okay." Sonic thought to himself and put a set of headphones on and turned up the music to drone out the noise as he continued to search for food.
The next morning, Amy and Silver invited themselves over to his fortress and insisted Sonic made them breakfasts and unfortunately, he did not have the heart to tell them to get lost. Digging through the cupboard to find something to feed all three of them, Sonic told Amy and Silver, "Well, I'm glad you two are okay. I heard Egghead laughing last night and he sounded pretty close by."
Seeing Amy because extremely worried from what the cobalt hedgehog said, Silver scolded, "Oh, way to go Sonic. You've upset Amy!"
Turning around to give his rebuttal, the azure hedgehog watched as the other two hedgehogs stormed out of his fortress and Sonic shrugged before he remarked, "Well, I guess that's one way to get rid of unwanted company."
Amy stomped into her straw house, still slightly upset about what Sonic had said about Eggman being around. Hearing a noise of something charging up outside, she peeked out the window and gave a small yelp as she saw Eggman holding a device that looked like a giant fan. Ducking out of sight, Amy heard a knock on the door and Eggman request, "Little hedgehog, little hedgehog, let me come in."
"Oh, there is no way I am answering that…but I guess I don't really have much of a choice. Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin!" Amy responded and she heard Eggman start to laugh.
"Then my creation will huff, and it'll puff, and it'll blow your house down!" laughed Eggman and she heard something begin to blow.
"Leave me alone!" Amy demanded and got ready to make a dash away if she had to.
"Do you really think your little feeble house can stop me?" roared Eggman with laughter.
Feeling a huge gust blow, Amy gave a small cry of surprise as her straw house blew apart. Setting down his Ultra Strong Wind Generator, Eggman watched the straw as it fluttered to the ground and by the time it all settled, Amy was racing to Silver's house of sticks.
"Hohoho! Now I'll have two hedgehogs to obliterate!" Eggman cackled as he picked up his creation and strutted after the pink hedgehog.
Silver was in his stick house, still angry with Sonic about upsetting Amy when he heard someone frantically bang on the door. Opening it, he saw Amy and she dove into Silver's house and Silver slammed the door shut as he saw Eggman coming their way. "Little hedgehog, little hedgehog, let me come in." they heard Eggman call as he knocked on the door.
"There is no way I'm answering that!" stated Silver and the two hedgehogs looked at each other.
"You have to. I had to, so you have to." Amy pointed out and Silver shook his head.
"Oh, fine. Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin!" Silver yelled back at Eggman and the pair edged towards a window in the back of the house as they heard something charging up as the setting got higher.
"Then my creation will huff, and it'll puff, and it'll blow your house down!" Eggman cackled.
Amy and Silver bounded out the window as they felt a gust harder than before hit the house, blowing it apart into pieces. Once again setting down his device, Eggman waited until everything settled and clenched his teeth in anger as he saw Amy and Silver bolting towards Sonic's brick fortress. "You won't get away from me!" bellowed Eggman and picked up his Ultra Strong Wind Generator as he rushed after the two hedgehogs.
Sonic heard cries for help and opened the door just in time for Amy and Silver to dash in. Seeing Eggman, Sonic gave a slightly surprised look before smirking as he slammed the door shut and locked it. Taking out a small remote, Sonic looked at the two frightened hedgehogs and reassured, "Don't worry. I'm a lot smarter than Egghead."
Hitting the single red button on the device, the windows and doors became barricaded with sturdy metal bars on the inside. "Now I'll have three hedgehogs to obliterate!" the three hedgehogs heard Eggman laugh. There was a knock on the door. "Little hedgehog, little hedgehog, let me come in."
"I really can't believe I'm saying this, but not by the hair of my chinny chin chin!" Sonic shouted back and they heard a charging noise as Eggman's Ultra Strong Wind Generator got turned up to the highest setting.
"Then my creation will huff, and it'll puff, and it'll blow your house down!" Eggman cried and the three hedgehogs heard a gust of wind even heavier than the other two repeatedly hit Sonic's brick fortress and the fortress stayed strong.
Soon, there was silence and Sonic gave a suspicious look. Hearing the noise of someone tramping on the roof, Silver exclaimed, "What the heck is he doing on the roof? Trying to break his neck?"
"He's gonna try to get in through the chimney." Sonic stated.
"Hohoho! I've got you now!" Amy, Silver, and Sonic heard Eggman shout with laughter.
"Oh no! What are we going to do now?" cried Amy.
"Don't worry. I got an idea." Sonic told her and he hit the button on the remote, causing the barricades to disappear and he opened the door.
"What?" Amy questioned and Sonic went to the fireplace.
"If Egghead likes hot baths…" Sonic began as he started a fire that grew quickly. He filled a large pot of water and dragged it on top of the roaring fire before looking at Amy and Silver with a huge smile on his face. "He's not gonna like them anymore!"
Watching the water as it began to bubble and hiss, the hedgehogs heard Eggman as he lowered himself into the chimney and the snap of a brick coming loose, causing the evil genius to plummet down into the boiling water. "!" howled Eggman. "Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!"
Jumping off the pot, Eggman took off out the door, clutching his scalded rear end and Amy, Silver, and Sonic laughed as they watched Eggman race away. Looking at Sonic, Amy and Silver cheered, "You did it!"
"That was amazing!" continued Silver.
"You're a hero!" Amy added and Sonic smiled.
"True to both of them, but it's because we stuck together…somewhat. And I hope you guys learned how to be careful with spending rings now." Sonic told the pair and Amy and Silver nodded. Hearing a dinging noise, Amy, Silver, and Sonic saw the elevator doors were opened and bolted through them before they slid shut.
Sliding to a stop in the elevator as the doors shut and the elevator began to move, Amy, Silver, and Sonic looked at Blaze, Knuckles, Rouge, and Tails and Sonic grinned, "You shoulda seen me in that fairy tale! I totally kicked Eggloser's butt with what I did to him!" He did a short break dancing routine in honor of his victory. "I rocked!"
"Well, it's a good thing this elevator is bigger than it looks so you can do your break dancing." Tails commented and Sonic smiled.
Feeling a slight shift as the elevator halted to a stop, the doors opened, and the trapped group went through the doors into the next fairy tale.
My comments:
Silver spending his rings on comic books and video games: I don't know what material goods he'd spend money on, so I just picked that.
Sonic and his Fortress: My, Sonic's quite the Handyman.
Okay, that's all for that chapter. Hope you liked it and please review!
