Fanfic: Sonic BOOM! Stone Au chapter. 1

Sticks and stone

--read on Ao3 here--

(No warnings needed!! A baby can read this)

 "Is it just me or have Meh Burger toys been very random lately?"

Sonic complained as he pulled out a pair of knitting needles from the Meh Burger paper bag, he walked alongside his team through the village's streets.

They'd just come back from Meh Burger before any of them had finished their lunch, an annoying kid's birthday party two tables over spoiled their whole meal, two of the kids were fighting over a bowl of ice cream, fruitlessly, because it ended up flying in the air and ending up in Sonic and his team's food.

Of course, Dave didn't clean up or replace their food.

Tails caught up to Sonic. "More importantly, that's a very dangerous choking hazard," he points a claw at the "toy".

"Why did you order the kid's meal anyway?" Amy asked.

"I didn't. They got my order wrong, again, and I didn't feel like fighting Dave the intern...again." Sonic exhaled and looked around as if to figure out where he should put his newly acquired knitting needles, his eyes landed on Knuckles.

"Hey, Knucks, want these?" he extends his hand to the echidna.

"No, thanks, I don't like Asian food that much." he held up his hand in protest.

"Knuckles these are for yarn."

"I don't like eating yarn either."

"I think we should all start eating healthy food and start cutting off junk food, if you could even call Meh Burger food." the pink hedgehog muttered the last sentence, "I think some homemade meals and vegetables are in order if we want to maintain our health."

"yeah sure, but you're the only one of us that knows how to cook, and I don't have a stove." Sticks half-shrugged.

"Let me guess because the flames are actually chemicals that release pheromones that aliens can track from their home planet?" Tails asks the badger, unamused.

Sticks threw her hands up. "No! That's crazy! It's because the stove's gas would blow my cover and the underground serpents can sense it and find me!" the girl argued with her much more reasonable theory.

Sonic rolls his eyes, "Besides, who has the time to cook every single meal every day?"

Amy hums. "Yeah, I wish there was at least somewhere we could eat proper food at, for brunch or breakfast," she brought her hands together and sighed dreamily. "Somewhere classy! with a homey feeling and decor."

"Too bad Meh Burger is the only restaurant in this village," Knuckles scratches his head, "why is that anyway?"

"Well, our village isn't exactly the most...uh..." the fox trails off, trying to find the right word.

"Welcoming? Pleasant? Well known? Safe?" Sticks laid out those words, they're all accurate.

"Yeah, all of those."

"I don't think they got the memo." Sonic stops in his tracks and points at a building right between the hardware store and the laundromat, it was modern with a "classy" look as Amy wished a moment ago, right above its glass doors was a sign with a coffee bean drawing on it and the words "The Mean Bean"

They all looked intrigued at the new building, they stood there and stared, briefly blocking the road and annoying the passerbys, seriously guys move..

"Woah, that place looks nice! looks like that restaurant Amy ran for one day before it got destroyed by Eggman's robots."  Knuckles said in awe at the place.

However, the badger's ears went back and her snout scrunched up, her eyes narrowed in suspicion.

"I have a bad feeling about this place I'm telling ya!" 

"You said the same thing yesterday about a bathroom." Sonic sassed. 

"This is different! How could a shop just appear out of thin air like that!?"

"I was wondering the same thing, actually; I don't think a coffee shop that intricate could be built overnight." Tails added, putting a finger on his chin.

"Maybe the show creators don't have the budget for a construction montage." Amy thought out loud.

"I thought this was a fanfiction." knuckles chimed in.

Sticks groaned and growled, "I'm telling ya guys, it's a trap, and the government is behind it!" she waved her arms around manically, not helping her case at all.

"yeah how about we go inspect this "trap" and their coffee? Y'know to make sure nothing illegal is going on." Sonic suggested calmly, completely dismissing Sticks's concerns.

That would sound mean but this is another "the boy that cried "wolf"" situation, if they listen to every single insane accusation Sticks made up they'd all end up living in the stone age, then who would be the tech wizz? who would dox jerks on the internet?

You can decide who the last sentence applies to.

"I thought you didn't like coffee." The inventor tilted his head at his older brother.

He pats his younger brother's head. "Yeah, but I'm down to try anything new, besides, I'm sick of Meh Burger's radioactive soda."

"I don't think our legal team can handle more Meh Burger slander." worried Amy to herself.

After much banter, the team finally approached the shining glass doors of The Mean Bean coffee shop.

With Sticks being dragged by Knuckles.

Standing there wiping at the counter with a damp cloth was a man, ...a human, he had brown skin, probably middle aged, he had a name tag on his apron that said "Stone", he greeted them with a warm smile and a wave, he put the cloth away and stood straight behind the counter, waiting for the team to walk up to him and order.

The red hero leaned over to whisper in Sonic's ear "Dude, that guy's a human.", "yeah? so?" "I thought Eggman was the only human around."

Sonic scratched the back of his head "Well, not anymore, he looks very different from Eggman."

Amy leans over to whisper to Sonic as well "Not all humans look the same, Sonic."

"I know that but I mean he just looks so.. normal... nothing like eggman, he looks like just a guy."

"Just a guy? really Sonic, this again?"

"What? No! ugh nevermind, sorry Amy." He quickly shut himself up, not wanting any more lectures or classes about being sensitive.

"He kinda has a point though." Tails agreed, "But it is nice to meet a new human that doesn't plan on destroying us."

"That's what he wants you to think." Sticks growled, making direct eye contact with the barista.

The barista who can very clearly tell they were talking smack about him, his eyes kept going back and forth between them, the wall, the counter, and the very enraged boomerang wielding hero.

Kind of resembling a dog when someone is trying to record it.

Finally, the banter came to halt when Amy noticed how rude they were being, first impressions are very important after all.

"Hello! welcome to The Mean Bean coffee cafe, how may I help you?" Said the barista.

"Well firstly I'd like to point out out how beautiful your cafe is, Mr. Stone." Amy chirped, "um this is your cafe right?"

Stone nodded and his eyes crinkled "Yes it is, that's nice of you to say..Ms. Amy rose isn't it?"

Her eyebrow raised, "Yeah, you know me?"

"But of course, you're Hedgehog village's most beloved heroes."

"it's only heroes." Sonic smirked.

"You're sonic I'm assuming?"

The blue one puffed out his chest with pride, "The one and only."

"And you're Knuckles," he points at the echidna, "Tails," he points to the two-tailed fox,

"And.. Sticks." he hesitated a little to point at the brown and cocoa colored badger, in all honesty he was worried she'd she'd bite his finger right off, her scowl showed off her canines that would make that action easy.

Of course he knew who these people were, he knew everything he needed to about this village.

Everything.

"Of course you know all of our names.." Sticks grumbled, "And I bet that that's not all you know."

Stone's expression faltered for a moment, but quickly shook off the girl's comment.

"Say, I've heard of this "Eggman" fellow a lot, but I haven't seen him once.."

Sticks gripped her arm at the comment, why does he wanna see Eggman?!

"Not that I want to see him or anything.. just to be cautious." Stone stammered when he saw Sticks's death grip.

He needs to be more careful.

"Oh, Egghead? Yeah don't worry about it, knowing him he's probably planning an attack right now." Sonic grabbed a menu and started looking through it, "Geez, I didn't know there were that many kinds of coffee."

"Yeah...hey why does this bean shop smell like coffee?" puzzled knuckles.

".. because this is a coffee shop." replied Stone in disbelief at how ridiculous that question was.

Maybe his job here wasn't going to be that hard.

Not the barista job at least.

Tails gasped "woah these look so good." he said putting his hands on the clean glass.

That irked Stone a little, but no worries, the fox too cute to be mad at.

The other two joined Sonic in reading the menu, Sticks remained in her place, still glaring.

"So... would you like to order anything?" 

"Hmm.. what's in this stuff you call coffee, "Stone"" She does air quotations while saying the humans name.

"Well, Ms."Sticks"," The barista mimicked her air quotations with humor, "Each coffee is made differently, but to answer your question: Milk, coffee, water and sometimes sugar."

Sticks rubbed her chin, her glare didn't waver a one bit.

Everything was still for a moment, the badger kept glaring and the human accepted the challenge.

They remained like that for a moment because she stomped her foot and pointed an accusing claw at the man.

"I know what you are!" Sticks shrieked, freaking out her friend and Stone, and some of the other customers.

"Sticks!" Amy scolded, "Leave him alone, I know you're paranoid but this is no excuse to accuse an innocent man of...what are you even accusing him of!?"

"He's a government agent! look at him!" 

Stone stood there like a deer in the headlights, he mustered up the most innocent expression he could.

"He's planning on taking control over the village! mark my words, this man is a government agent and he's here to control our minds!" the badger waved her arms around emphasizing her point.

All of her friends just stared.

unamused.

uncaring.

Then went back to what they were doing before Sticks's outburst.

Next up was a loud scream, and Sticks ran out the the restaurant as furious as ever.

 

She ran and ran, until her stamina ran out and she reached the forest.

"What now?..." she exhaled and sat and a nearby rock with her head in her hands. "I can't let that guy hurt my friends..."

She thought to herself, she couldn't let that guy roam around and putting other's lives in danger.

But at the same time she couldn't investigate him all on her own, if the agent's patience ran out he might kidnap her and make her work in a secret underground trees-that-are-actually-spy-cameras factory! 

Then their would be no one to keep an eye on the village, and her friends are all probably already mind controlled by the microchips in "Stone"'s food and coffee.

She'll need a sidekick.

Just at that moment a black and red bird flew into a nest on branch, the bird shimmied until it settled it's bed.

"I know just the guy.."

I hope u guys enjoyed this! writing isn't really my strong point so I appreciate constructive criticism, also Stone's characterisation is gonna be tough... sorry this was about sticks more than stone LOL the next one will be stone centric (with stobotnik obviously)

Kayce dutton x reader

Reader surprises kayce with lunch at his office

You're a Darn good Wife

Here's the first official request on the new All Yellowstone blog!!! 😁

Parking my red truck outside the Livestock department office I pushed the driver door open and closed after grabbing the lunch bag of burgers from the place down the street. Entering the building I stopped at the front desk seeing the familiar blonde sitting there named Amy. "What can I do for you, Mrs. Dutton?"

"Is my husband in his office by chance?" I asked her.

She shakes her head no with a half smile. "He's out with the sheriff right now. But he should be back before lunch is over."

"Alright. I'll wait in his office. But don't tell him I'm here." I told her, wanting it to be a surprise for when he comes back. She nodded in agreement, watching me head around the corner out of her line of sight.

Opening his office door, I sat down the bag on his desk, scanning my eyes over the disorderly pile of paperwork he had on it. Sitting out the sandwiches and fries before plopping down in the computer chair scrolling on my cell phone until I heard footsteps coming down the hallway. “Good afternoon, cowboy.” I chimed in seeing him walk inside the office with a bright smile on my face.

“Y/n, what are you doing here?” He dropped his jacket on the hook by the door, opening his arms for me.

I rushed forward flinging my arms around his neck chucking into his shoulder. He wrapped his arms tightly around my waist kissing my hair clearly suprised I was there during lunch. “I thought I’d suprised you with lunch from that burger place you like near Bozeman. Considering we barely see each other with you working here and me working on your father’s land since half of the cowboys are up at the Summer Camp.”

“Well I’m certainly not gonna complain about any visit that involves you.” Kayce barely broke the hug gently holding me with his hands on my waist.

My arms stayed around his neck where I sent him a grin. “You better not like my visits. I did agree to marry you even when you told me you had a kid with your ex wife.”

“Hey, you love Tate.” Kayce gasped slightly offended.

I gave him a half smile tilting my head to the side reassuring what I had said minutes ago. “I’m just messing with you. I really do love Tate and treat him like he’s my own kid until we have our own of course.”

“You want to have kids with me.” Kayce’s face brightened at the words that had came out of my mouth.

I responded to my husband. “Of course. I told you on our fourth date that I wanted marriage and kids.”

“I was waiting to ask if we should start trying for a baby and now that I know that. I think we could start right now if you’re up for it.” He bends down on his knees quickly picking me up by my thighs and I wrap my arms around little tighter around hi neck even though he wouldn’t drop me.

I squealed when he carries me over to his desk and he slides some of the papers onto the floor without a real care in the world except me and him in that moment. “Kayce! What about the burgers?”

“Oh don’t worry we’ll be eating them when we’re done.” He smirked at me, moving his fingers down to the bottom of my shirt shrugging it upward and tossing it onto the floor with his own.

I scanned my eyes over his chest feeling my face turning red till I realized the door was still opened. “Wait a second. We have sex with the door wide open. I don’t think your coworkers would like that too much.”

“See we’ve got nothing to worry about. Especially when you’re a darn good wife who looks damn good to me right now.” Kayce ran slamming it closed and locking the door behind him before he rushed back over to me. He stands as close to me as he can possibly get cupping my face in his hands pressing his lips down onto mine.

Threading my fingers into the fabric of dark tan dress shirt seconds before I quickly began undoing the buttons on it and finally launched it across the office. “You better not waste those burgers. Dutton. Otherwise I will you regret your decisions later down the road.” I told before he gently pushed me down onto the desk and he sat the bag of food on the ground.

“Don’t you worry, baby. Once I get you pregnant you won’t be too worried about whether or not we wasted some burgers or not.” He smirked down at me, hovering above me till I wrapped my arms around his neck bringing him back down for another kiss.

He moved one hand over my hip and his other was holding his body up a little so not all of his weight was on top of me. “I’ll hold you to that promise, Kayce.” I broke the kiss where he smiled down at me, reconnecting our lips together and we let ourselves get lost in the other person.

Comments really appreciated ❤️

B99 x reader - slightly twisted

Hello. Can I please request the Brooklyn 99 team X reader? Reader works with them and is very kind and friendly with everyone, but occasionally they would say something that scares everyone (including Rosa) For example, everyone is trying to figure out how to get a suspect in interrogation to talk, and out of the blue (Y/N) says "give me 10 minutes with a car battery, I'll make him talk". - Anon💜

Standing in the conference room, you weren’t really paying much attention to what was going on, but you did slightly pay attention to Rosa and Jake trying to figure out how to get their suspect to talk.

“You’ve already tried annoying him, it didn’t work idiot.” Rosa snapped.

“Well you threatening him didn’t work either!” Jake huffed.

You flicked through your paper work.

“Give me ten minutes with a car battery, I’ll make him talk.”

Rosa and Jake snapped their heads towards you, and you looked at them, giving them the sweetest smile they had ever seen.

Gathering your papers, you happily walked outside and they shared a look.

“They’re twisted…” Jake mumbled.

“Seriously twisted…” Rosa agreed.

You had a quiet personality, but you were ever so sweet, always smiling and willing to do anything to help.

But out of the blue, you would so something so disturbing or terrifying, it put everybody in the precinct on edge.

It wasn’t often you did it, but you always did it at the most unexpected times.

For the next hour you sat at your desk, the you got up to make coffee, walking into the break room where everybody else was sat.

You stared intensely at the coffee pot.

“What’re you doing?” Charles asked.

“Thinking.”

“About what?” He asked.

Everybody shouted at him, and you began to calmly pour your coffee.

“Nobody knows when they’re going to die, unless they’re murdered. Then there is one person who knew the exact time you died at, you wouldn’t even know that you’re dead, you would just be dead. We could all be dead right now.”

You sipped at your coffee, setting your cup on the table you walked to your fridge to get your lunch.

You pulled out two boxes and handed one to Jake before sitting down.

“I want you to speak to a psychiatrist.” Holt said.

You looked at him, tilting your head a little.

“Why?”

“You are very disturbed.”

“He’s right, some of the stuff you say is horrifying.” Terry nodded.

You looked the them all.

“You even scare Rosa.”

You turned to Rosa, and she shrugged a little bit.

“I thought I was disturbed.” She said.

You shrugged a bit, going back to eating your lunch, sharing some of your food for Scully and Hitchcock who were lingering nearby.

You sat inside your own head again.

“I want a burger.” You said.

“Go get one.” Amy said.

“Oh! Let us come!” Scully begged.

You agreed, walking with them to get a burger from around the corner before walking back.

Everybody was standing in the bullpen near the vulture as he tried to take the next case from someone.

“It was funny!” He laughed.

“It was a hearse! Don’t you have any respect?!” Amy snapped.

The man shrugged a little and you sat on your desk to watch them.

“What did he do?”

“I happened to laugh as a hearse went buy holding the victim, it doesn’t mean I don’t sympathise. I just don’t care.”

You took a bite of your burger and stared at the man, and the other looked at you.

“You shouldn’t laugh at something like that.”

“Oh I don’t want your philosophy lecture just give me the damn case.”

You looked back at your food, slapping Jakes hand as he tired to snatch it from you.

“One day you’ll day, and you’ll be in a hearse. You could die tomorrow, and you’ll be thrown in a hole and left to rot, bones turning to dust and bugs calling your body home.”

The whole floor went quiet.

“We all go to the same place when we die, in the ground to be worm food, so I don’t see why you act like you’re better, you’re not. You’re just another walking sack of worm feast.”

The vulture made a gagging noise, and he stepped away from you.

“Seriously, what’s wrong with you?” He asked.

You looked up at him.

Your smile turned into a sickening grin as your stared into his eyes.

“I like scaring people.”

“That’s not hot. I’m gone.”

He quickly left and you went back to eating.

“Disturbing but useful apparently.” Rosa said.

They all looked at you and shuddered a little bit as you began to hum a twisted song under your breath.

You were the most lethal member of the squad, you didn’t need guns to bring someone down, no.

You just needed to talk, and that would be enough to make anyone confess or turn themselves in, just to escape the pure twisted truth that you generally talked about.

You had no filter, no thought process, and an unlimited supply of strange and twisted information

Random Sonadow boom fanfic

On this episode, Team Sonic is seen eating at Meh burger. 

“Well, this is nice!”

Amy cheered. And she was Right, it has been nice.

Eggman hadn’t attacked for a few days, and it was overall a nice, sunny day, so it's been relaxing, although, in Sonic’s opinion, a bit boring.

Tails hummed and nodded; “Yeah! It’s been great! I’ve made so many improvements on different inventions and on the tornado!”

”I don’t trust it! He’s waiting for us to be off guard, and then when we’re least expecting it, WOOSH! Turns out, hes been working with aliens to take over the planet, and the alien invasion would start!-“

”I seriously doubt Eggman holds enough likable energy to even talk to one on good terms, let alone convince them to join him.”

Sonic interrupted Sticks' chant. Sticks immediately stood up.

”THAT'S WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO THINK!”

Everyone sighed at Stick’s shenanigans. Before another word could be spoken—

“Ha! Look at the idiotic rodents, cheerfully eating lunch! Not for long~!”

Ugh. Eggman. Everyone looked over as he released Some more crab bots. Sonic rolled his eyes as he stood up and destroyed one.

”Really, Egghead? Just haaaad to show up now? We were enjoying a meal without you.”

Sonic rolled his eyes. 

“Yeah! We were doing just fine with our cardboard made edibles without you here!”

Knuckles yelled out. Eggman laughed.

”Well, your cardboard is about to be recycled! Robots, attack!!!”

Eggman yelled as his minions went out to attack. Sonic scoffed as they all went into position. However, before they could even start fighting, a yellow streak went past, destroying 5 badniks that were in a line.

Sonic and his friends blinked and looked over to see Shadow, holding up wires of some of the badniks. Eggman gasped.

”S-Shadow!? I had no idea you’d be here-“

”Leave. Now.”

Shadow glared at Eggman.

”I was planning to buy some things today and dealing with the ruckus you were about to make is not on my list, so leave.”

Eggman gulped.

”Y-Yeah! Of course-uh-Shadow! Oh! By the way, we’re having a dinner this Friday at 8, was hoping you’d come around-“

”I will not attend.”

“Right, of course—well, bye!”

With that, Eggman went off, his robots retreating. Shadow sighed in annoyance while Team Sonic stared at Shadow in confusion.

Sticks growled and got into a fighting position. Sonic sighed.

”Soooo you're here, edgelord? What are you doing here this time? A fight again? Dude, I’m not in the mood to—“

”Silence, fool! I’m not here for you or any of your insignificant friends! I had already stated I am here to buy a few things.”

Shadow scoffed and crossed His arms in the Normal stance they nearly always saw him in. Sonic sighed. Seriously, what was with this guy? They rarely see him around. And since when did Shadow ever shop in hedgehog village? Would have thought he would buy stuff somewhere with more high quality things.

”If that’s the case, why did you ’help’ us?”

Amy asked, tilting her head a little bit.

Shadow growled and rolled his eyes, his ears lowering in a bit of annoyance.

”Don’t mistake that for ‘helping’ you! I merely only did so because I don’t want to shop while hearing noise from the ruckus you and Robotnik was about to cause. If I’m going to shop in this pathetic town, I at least want silence and to be unbothered.”

Shadow said strictly as he then began turning around. Sonic ran over to him. Normally, he wouldn’t even bother with shadow, heck, he would go back to eating. However, he ran over to Shadow (wasn’t that hard considering he wasn’t that far away), and stood in front of him, examining him.

’Wait, wait wait wait wait wait!”

Shadow groaned, his eyes rolling up in irritation before he looked back at Sonic, his ears twitching in annoyance.

”What is it now, hedgehog!?”

“I’ve NEVER seen you shop here before,”

Sonic said, poking Shadow’s side. Shadow stepped back, immediately looked even more irritated and Opened his mouth to yell-

“Yeah! How do we know you’re not going to implant some kind of mind control device when none of us are watching!? HOW DO WE KNOW YOUR NOT WORKING FOR ALIENS OR FOR THE GOVERNMENT!?!?”

Sticks shouted. Shadow growled.

”I work for no one! I am merely here just to shop, but if you so want to annoy me by your ridiculous claims, then I will gladly bring you all down to your place—“

”Hey now, we don't want a fight—Sticks stop that, we don’t want to cause anything.”

Tails said, chuckling nervously as Sticks looked to be ready to throw her boomerang. Tails quickly added on,

“Besides, if Shadow did want to do that, he would have done it by now! We barely see him!”

”Yeah, but that’s because he doesn’t get screen time.”

Sticks rebutted. Everyone muttered in agreement. Shadow rolled his eyes, growling, his ears going down in irritation. How dare they mention his near non-existent screen time!

”Enough of this, I’m leaving.”

”Hold on, we just want to know why you helped us.”

Knuckles said.

”Normally you just come and beat us up. And we want an answer!….woah, did I just remember what we were asking him previously?! Maybe my memory is getting better!”

Knuckles said in excitement before Shadow immediately glared at him.

“No, it's clearly getting worse since I already said I didn’t help you. I wanted to shop in peace, so I tore up Eggman’s robots and told him to leave and he went. That's it.” 

“Oh.”

Knuckles said in a deadpan voice. Shadow then went to get around Sonic. However, Sonic thought before quickly asking

“Why did Eggman listen to you anyways?”

”…Huh?”

”Why did Eggman listen to ya? I mean, sure, he finds you cool or whatever, but I doubt that’s the whole reason.”

Sonic clarified, placing his hands on his hips. Shadow glared at Sonic.

“I have no need to explain myself to you, hedgehog.”

”Come onnnn~, just say why and we’ll get out of your hair.”

Sonic snickered, determined to get his answer. Knuckles nodded and stepped forward.

”yeah, else we’ll decide that there’s something going on—“

”Like you two teaming up to give our locations to government agents!”

Sticks yelled, pointing at Shadow.

”THAT’S RIGHT, WE’RE ONTO YOU!”

Shadow scoffed, eyes narrowing in annoyance

”Ugh! Fine! If it gets you all to leave me alone without a fight…not that I couldn’t take you down. Just not in the mood too.”

Shadow scoffed. Sonic perked up and blinked.

”Wow, really? I thought you were always in the mood to fight.”

”It’s for plot convenience, Sonic. They took away my desire to fight for now. Not that it’ll last for long, but it's annoying.”

”Well, thank goodness for the author. I wasn’t in the mood to Fight. Now tell us!”

Sonic said with a smirk, placing his hands on his hips with a stuff-eating grin. Shadow rolled his eyes.

”Ugh. Fine. Me and Eggman are…related—“

“WHAT!?”

Team Sonic yelled out together. Sticks immediately threw down her boomerang and pointed at Eggman.

”I TOLD YOU EGGMAN WAS AN ALIEN! AND NOW WE KNOW HE’S RELATED TO AN ALIEN!”

”We all know Eggman’s human, and I doubt Shadow’s an alien, so let's not think of that.”

”THAT'S WHAT HE WANTS YOU THINK, AMY! THAT'S WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO THINK!”

They then decided to ignore Sticks.

Knuckles paused, looking confused

”…so…Eggman’s a hedgehog?”

“No, you ignorant buffoon!”

Shadow scoffed, growling in annoyance.

”I was admitted into his family, hence I’m…a part of his family. My last name is still Robotnik, so…”

”Wow…you're adopted?”

Sonic snickered. Shadow growled, his ears pinning down in frustration, maybe even a bit of embarrassment.

”Shut it, hedgehog!”

”Never!”

“So, what ‘family’ role do you play for Eggman?”

Tails curiously asked, stepping forward. Shadow took a Deep breath.

”…it could be ‘cousin’, however a more accurate one would be his uncle.”

Team Sonic paused. His uncle? Isn’t Shadow, like, Sonic’s age?

Sonic hummed.

”Uncle? Aren’t you, like, the same age as me?“

”I am.”

”…Then how are you Eggman’s uncle?”

Sonic asked, staring at Shadow with squinting eyes. Tails sighed

”Sonic, younger kids can be adopted by old people. If he was adopted by Eggman’s grandfather, then it would make him Eggman’s uncle.”

Tails explained. Shadow hummed…it wasn’t what happened, but it was more complicated if he said the truth, not like they ever need to know the truth. Knuckles looked to the sky

”Oh yeah! That makes way more sense than time travel!”

Knuckles said aloud. Amy looked at him with confusion on her face

”Where did you get time travel from?”

”I thought he was from the past and came here.”

Shadow hummed at Knuckles statement. Not entirely wrong, but…

”Wait! So, you’re Eggman’s uncle? Is that why he listens to you?”

Tails asked. Shadow raised a brow

”Yes, I just said that.”

”Just wanted to clarify it. So…is that the only reason he listens and wants you to join him? Because your family?”

Tails asked. Shadow groaned. This was taking WAY longer than he wanted, however plot convince made him want to explain, so he talked

”Although I’m sure it's part of it, it's also because he finds me cool and amazing, as he should. He believes I am very strong and can help him. He also referred to me as the….’cool uncle’ at some point, whatever that means.”

”You? The ‘cool uncle’? Puh-lease! I doubt you could ever be that cool!”

Sonic rolled his eyes. Shadow growled, crossing his arms with a glare.

”Way cooler than you, I can assure. Unfortunately, that ‘coolness’ is what motivates him to always bother me when I want to be left alone!”

Shadow huffed. Sonic hummed and seemed to think for a bit before he smirked

”Sooooo~, if you're Egghead’s uncle, does that mean whoever you date would be his step uncle?”

Shadow blinked, unsure of where this was going.

”…I suppose.”

”Annnnnnd by definition, It would mean he would have to Listen to them? For family’s sake?”

”I guess? Where are you going with—“

”Date me.”

….

Silence was all that was heard. The rest of team Sonic stared at Sonic with shocked (Tails had a mix of disgust in there) faces. Sonic just held his smirk.

When Shadow finally processed it, he blushed before punching Sonic. FINALLY! He has escaped plot convenience!

“Ack-!”, Sonic yelped as he tumbled and fell to the ground. Shadow growled, his ears down in embarrassment as he glared at Sonic, his arms in a position as if he was about to send another punch to Sonic.

”What!? What the hell!?”

Shadow yelled.

”Are we allowed to say that?” called Knuckles in the distance.

Sonic, stubborn as ever, just stood up with a smirk.

”Hey! Hear me out—“

Sonic managed to block an oncoming punch from Shadow

”Ack-C’mon! Just for a week!”

”Why would I—“

”To mess with Egghead! If I became your ‘boyfriend’, then he would have to listen to me! And that would be HILARIOUS!”

”Why would I ever—“

”Who knows, maybe he’ll be soooo angry with you afterwards, he’ll leave you alone for a while!”

“…”

Shadow paused. Annoy….Eggman? Admittedly, he never thought of doing something Eggman hated to get him to leave Shadow alone, and dating Eggman’s arch-nemesis, someone who Shadow ALSO hated, seemed a bit far-fetched…however, it might give him the peace and quiet he had been hoping for for so long….

Shadow hummed, pausing, stepping his foot up and down, his hand on his chin. 

Sonic blinked. Wait, was he actually thinking about—

“Deal.”

There was a silence that followed afterwards. Sonic blinked slowly, processing the fact that Shadow had ACTUALLY agreed. He kinda just expected to get thrown into the store across the street.

Amy looked shocked, yet a bit of hurt and jealousy was on her face. Knuckles looked confused (per usual), Tails was staring back and forth between Sonic and Shadow, as if both surprised that Shadow actually accepted and disgusted with Sonic for even suggesting it. 

Sticks broke the silence a moment later.

”That is an imposter! Shadow would NEVER agree to date someone like Sonic!”

She shouted. Sonic scoffed and crossed his arms, slightly insulted.

”Rude…”

”How DARE you even try to Insinuate that I am a fake. I am the Shadow, the ultimate life form, not some imposter impersonating myself, when there is no need since I am ALL of me! And for your information, I’m not dating him because I like him. Who could like this fool who can’t even make a simple shelf!”

Sonic’s ears went down in irritation at Shadow’s insult.

“Double rude.”

”The only reason I am agreeing is simply because I want a break from Ivo pestering me. Perhaps if I…’date’ his worst enemy for a short time, he’ll try to avoid me. That is all.”

Shadow stated, crossing his arms. Sonic lightly rolled his eyes. Shadow hummed, satisfied with the silence, so he turned around and began walking away

”Now, I will go back to shopping, as you fools have wasted enough of my time.”

Shadow walked towards a building. Sonic rolled his eyes, grumbling

”See ya Tomorrow, ‘babe’.”

”You are not calling me that.”

…….

The next day, while team sonic was returning to meh burger (again, because where else are they supposed to eat?), Sonic noticed a certain hedgehog who happened to be standing there. 

Shadow was standing in front of the mini stairs to meh burger, crossing his arms and standing still. Sonic blinked, running over, stopping in front of him with a curious blank expression, looking Shadow up and down.

”…You actually came?”

”What makes you think I would stand out here for you?”

”Because I doubt you’d eat at Meh burger.”

”….Tch.”

Shadow looked away, annoyed.

”If you want to know, I’m here to wait for Eggman.”

”Huh-Why?”

”He attacks everyday and I was going to tell him that we’re dating…it’s good you showed up. Makes it more believable.”

“…So in other words, you WERE waiting for me.”

”No.”

Before Sonic could respond, Eggman flew in.

”Ha! Prepare yourself, rodents, for my brand new—shadow? Uhhhh….what are you doing here? This is like, the second day you’ve appeared. You normally only get one day.”

Eggman said, looking confused. Shadow looked up at Eggman with his normal scowl.

“About time you showed up, Eggman. I have important news to Share With you.“

”Oh! Important news? From you!? Of course! What is it?”

Eggman asked. Obviously, he thought it was something around the aspect of Shadow thinking about joining him. Shadow took a deep breath.

”Now…It may be hard for you to hear this but—“

”Wait—Are you joining Sonic’s team!?“

”Wha—No! I would never join that pathetic group of unbearable peasants!”

Shadow growled at Eggman’s immediate assumption. Team Sonic looked at Shadow with a glare.

‘Good job at acting like we’re dating.’, Sonic thought as he rolled his eyes. Eggman seemed to sigh of relief.

“Oh thank God! I Was about to have a panic attack! Well then, what is it?”

Shadow took a deep breath.

”I…Sonic and I….well…”

Shadow began but couldn’t seem to finish it. As if even saying it was too much. Shadow took a deep breath, preparing himself to tell Eggman the news when he felt a hand wrap around his waist. Shadow ears lowered and he turned to see Sonic, who had put his hand on Shadow in a nonchalant manner. Shadow was about to punch him but—

“Me and Shads are in a relationship.”

Sonic said in a smug voice. Shadow blinked as he reminded himself he had to pretend to date this hedgehog. Shadow looked down at Sonic’s hand before looking back up to Eggman, who’s face was shocked. 

“WHAT!? You mean to tell me that you two are-“

”living the good life? Yeah~, we are~”

Sonic snickered. Eggman glared at Sonic before paying his attention towards Shadow.

”Shadow, is this true!?”

“….yes—“

”Wha-but I thought you hated Sonic too!”

Eggman yelled with an accusatory voice. Shadow shrugged.

”fifty-fifty.”

”Fifty-fift—I Can’t believe this!”

Eggman shouted. Sonic snickered.

”Well, you better start, Eggman! Since I’m your new step-uncle!”

Urbot and Cubot gasped while Eggman looked offended.

”Wait-who told you that!?”

”Who else?”

Sonic smirked and motioned to Shadow. Shadow let out a sigh. Eggman growled.

”Shadowwww! Why would you tell him!?”

”Hmph.”

”…Well, it doesn't matter! Afterall, you only become related to me at marriage, which I doubt you two are at that stage, so HA!”

Eggman laughed as he pointed at Sonic. Sonic hummed, putting his free hand on his chin as if thinking, before looking to Shadow with a smug smirk.

“How about we let your dear ‘uncle’ decide that~”

Shadow rolled his eyes, his arms still crossed over his chest. He looked to Sonic’s smug face, then to Eggman’s pleading one. Shadow looked to Sonic and then back to Eggman. Then back to Sonic. Then to Eggman.

”….Yes, he’s your step-uncle.”

”WHAT!?”

”HA! In your face, Eggman!”

Sonic snickered and pointed to Eggman. Eggman growled.

”I-you—“

”That means I’m in charge!”

”What-no it doesn’t!? I’ll destroy—“

”Listen to your uncle, Ivo.”

Shadow interrupted. Amy, Knuckles, Tails and Sticks collectively gasped at Shadow’s words. Sonic paused, then looked to Shadow. He was joining in with this!? And here Sonic thought he’d have to do it all.

Eggman looked shocked and somewhat betrayed.

”What—but he isn’t—“

”Ivo.”

Shadow glared at Eggman, giving him a typical ‘do I look like I’m kidding’ face. Eggman gulped before he sulked into his chair.

”Yes Shadow…”

”Good. By the way, we’re coming to that family dinner on Friday.”

Shadow stated with a factual voice. Sonic blinked. Wow, he was really going in full on this.

Eggman stared before standing up again

”WHAT DO YOU MEAN ’WE’RE’!?”

”I said what I mean, Ivo. Sonic is invited since he is also your uncle.”

”Wha-but he—“

”Ivo.”

Shadow glared once more. Eggman growled before sighing and sitting back to sulk in his flying seat.

”Yes Shadow…”

”Good. Don’t make me regret deciding to come. Now get out of my—…I mean, OUR sights.”

Shadow demanded. Eggman sighed.

”…Minions, retreat…”

And with that, Eggman disappeared. As soon as Eggman left, Sonic burst out laughing, falling onto the floor.

”Hahaha! Oh my—oh my gosh! Ahahahaha!!! He totally fell for it!”

Sonic then got up and looked to Shadow

”I’m surprised you joined in with it! I thought I would have had to do all the talking!”

”Be fortunate I joined in, hedgehog. Otherwise, you could not have convinced him.”

Shadow stated, looking away with an annoyed expression. Sonic just snickered. Tails ran over and looked to Sonic, joining the conversation

”It seems like it worked! Though, now you have to attend a family Dinner on Friday.”

Sonic slowly looked to Tails, as if realizing he was supposed to go to a dinner event with Eggman.

”….”

Sonic then looked to Shadow

”REALLY!? Did you HAVE to accept the invite!”

Shadow raised an eye at Sonic’s shouting, looking confused.

”…I thought it would elevate that we were dating, as going to a family dinner and introducing you as ‘my boyfriend’, is a relatively important thing to do, so I thought it would have convinced Ivo that we were dating.”

Shadow explained. Sonic groaned, his ears and tail drooping in annoyance

”Yeah but—but now I actually have to go to an event—an event with EGGMAN!”

”It's not like it's too important. It’s just a family dinner.”

”Yeah, but have you ever BEEN to one of those!?”

”….Yes…?”

”….Right, but STILL!!!”

Sonic complained as he yelled. Shadow rolled his eyes.

”You are such an over dramatic child. It’s not that bad.”

”Is it!? IS IT REALLY!?”

Sonic yelled. Shadow narrowed his eyes, about to escalate things when Amy stormed over

“Sonic, it was YOUR idea to do this to prank Eggman! The least you can do is follow through! And besides, Shadow is putting aside his hatred of attending Eggman’s events for you! You HAVE to do this!”

Amy commended, which just earned more groaning from Sonic.

”Ughhh! Fiiiineeeee!”

Sonic huffed. Amy smiled.

”Good! Now why don’t we find some suitable clothes for this?”

“Wha—its just a family dinner! It’s not like its anything fancy.”

Sonic crossed his arms and looked away. It earned a scoff from Shadow, who walked over.

”It may not be anything fancy, but I swear if you don’t wear at least a jacket, I’ll kill you.”

”Wha-really? You actually care about this stuff?”

”yes. Be fortunate I’m not forcing you to wear pants.”

Sonic sighed. This was horrible….he was thankful that he didn’t have to wear pants though.

Shadow glared at Sonic.

“You better meet me here when it’s time.”

“Yeah yeah…”

Sonic sighed as Shadow teleported away.

………��

Yeah, it was supposed to be longer but I lacked motivation to continue it so here it is.

Washed Ashore; Chapter 1 - Villain Blues

Platonic Sonic Boom x Ex-Villain!Reader.

Washed Ashore Masterlist

Yet another boring day of lying down on the warm sand of a beach begins with a gorgeous sunset, like they always do. One would think living on a what is practically a paradise island would be, well, paradise, but after the first two weeks the repeating patterns have already grown rather dull. In the end, all there is to do was watch the swooshing waves wash away small rocks and sticks from the shore. 

Maybe the waves are washing away your life as well. 

With a sigh you sit up in the sand, restlessly drawing patterns into the ground with your foot. Various different schemes emerge from the depths of your brilliant, strategical mind, yet a nagging voice from another corner reminds you of the consequences putting the plans into motion would have. Your eyes narrow and the leg drawing patterns into the sand comes to a halt as your resolve shakes. As much as you would like to remain civilized to keep your friends, there is simply nothing you can do, and if you have to sit here for a second longer, you will probably explode. 

However, the moment you shoot up to stand and to scramble to your evil lair, (which the uncultured would refer to as a basement) you nearly run straight into a combination of shades of pink. You skid against the sand and deflate. "Hi, Amy..."  

"Hello, (Name)!" She greets with a cheerful smile before crossing her arms, a smug expression overtaking her face. "That sudden burst of energy you got over there was just a bit strange... you weren't planning on doing anything mischievous or evil, were you?" 

You let out an exasperated sigh. "Yeah, so? You caught me in the act. But how is it my fault when there's absolutely nothing to do here?" 

"There's plenty to do here!" Amy counts the things that come to mind on her fingers. "Playing beach ball, taking care of flowers, knitting, baking, eating at Meh Burger- okay, maybe it's not responsible of me to recommend that- swimming, surfing-" 

"Okay, okay, okay!" You wave your hands in front of your face to get her to stop. "I get your point. But the problem is, I've already done all of those things!" 

"Well, then you know what stuff you like the best and can choose from those!" 

"Yeah, but none of them bring me the same amount of entertainment as coming up with evil plots!" You cannot fight off the smallest, most childish pout from rising to your face. 

"Are you sure? Knitting be very engaging in the right company-" 

"You mean company that doesn't laugh at me when I fail at cross-stitching?" You deadpan. 

"Okay, maybe that was a bit rude of me, but you looked so adorably frustrated then!" Amy interlaces her fingers, fawning at the memory.

"And you gotta remember, that was right after you'd decided to redeem yourself, so you looking cute instead of threatening was totally new to us!" 

Your lips twist into a frown. "Just rub it in, why don't you... no one will respect me anymore..." 

"That's not true!" 

"Yes, it is! Instead of cowering and running away in fear, people just boo nowadays! I should just become a villain again to make them REGRET-" 

"(Name)! Remember your anger management exercises!" 

You glare at her at first for interrupting you, but eventually just sigh at her pleading face and breathe like she instructed you to do. Like practiced, you take deep breath in through the mouth, which you hold at the top before letting it out through the nose. 

"Alright, there we go! That's perfect," she praises, "you were the best student my meditation class!" 

"And the only one..." 

"Don't sweat the details!" She slams a hand on your back and unintentionally knocks the wind out of your lungs. "Anyway! Even if you don't think there are any non-evil or -destructive things that are fun, I'll help you find something that sets your heart on fire!" 

"My heart only burns for arson and destruction of private property." You examine your fingernails like a diva, throughly unconvinced. Then you yelp at a sudden tug forward. 

Amy grabbed your hand to pull you with her as she runs. "You'll see! By the end of the day, we'll definitely have found something even you find entertaining!" 

You hold back a groan and roll your eyes, this is going to be yet another long day. 

And you are right, the day is shaping out to be unreasonably long. Hours upon hours have passed since Amy dragged you into trying new things, and all you gain from it is aching ears from playing the trumpet and a sore body from running among other physical activities. Yet even after all of that effort, not one activity sparks any sense of achievement or joy within you like villainy did. 

"Okay, so competitive dog grooming was a bust too, but we still haven't tried cheese rolling or trampoline wall dancing! We could also try soap carving! Maybe even extreme ironing..." Amy's rambling fades out in your ears as you sigh. 

With hands shoved into your pockets, you drag your feet behind her. Her desire to help may warm your chest, but that does not shake away the empty feeling of being a lost cause. Each failed attempt at finding enjoyment within hobbies considered acceptable convinces you further that the villain life is the only kind you are suited for living. You were a natural since the very beginning of your career with the schemes, the menacing laughs, the taunts and the revenge plots, mostly made against- 

"Oh, hey! Look at this!" Amy's squeal snaps you out of your thoughts. "Sonic is taking sidekick applications! How amazing is that!" 

"Uh, didn't he already have a sidekick or something..?" 

"Oh, I'm sure Tails is fine with this! They're best friends, of course Sonic wouldn't do anything that would upset him!" She snatches the poster off from the tree. "And hey, maybe you should apply too!" 

"Why?" 

"Well, it could help you and Sonic get closer together as friends! You'd also get more accustomed to hero work, since it is pretty different from villain stuff. But!" Amy turns to face you dramatically. "It also has a lot of action, just like villainy!" 

"I don't know, Amy. I'm not really feeling up to it," you mutter, "you can go, but I'm taking a break from all this stuff. My neck is still sore from falling off that trapeze." 

"That's okay! Just come talk to me if you get any ideas or feel like doing anything!" Amy smiles with determination. "In the meantime, I'm gonna go and ace that job interview!" 

She runs off to her house to get prepared, leaving you standing alone in the sand. With a breath you sit down in the sand again, back to square one, exactly where you started the day. You try to draw patterns but cannot come up with any ideas. After that you dabble in the forbidden hobby of evil schemes again, but even that leaves you with a sour taste in your mouth. All you really can do is sigh and wonder if it is an attitude problem on your part. 

Maybe if you put more energy in, you could have actually found something enjoyable. The entire day you let yourself get dragged with the mindset that you possibly could not like any of those hobbies as much as you enjoyed being a villain. Even if you found something good, that probably would have prevented you from enjoying it anyway. And even though you did not find anything, you could have at least tried to have fun for Amy's sake. She tried so hard to create a fun experience for you, only for you to actively disregard all of her efforts. 

You let go of your arms, which you had gripped in your frustration, and stand up. I should go apologise for being such a buzzkill. 

The rational assumption to make is that she is getting interviewed. However, what you walk into is an otherwise empty shack, with the exception of three people staring at you expectantly. 

"Congratulations!" Sonic rushes to shake your hand. "You're in!" 

"I- what? I didn't apply-" 

"Yeah, consider yourself lucky. We're employing a new policy that whoever walks in through the door next gets the spot!" 

"Uhm, actually..." a beaver walks in through the door. "...it's whomever, and since I walked in through this door now, doesn't that mean I also get the job?" 

"Uh, sorry buddy, but it was whomever first walks in through the door. There's only three spots available, so yeah..." Sonic trails off, feigning an apologetic tone. 

"Aw..." the beaver deflates. "Well, actually, I still need to ask you if you validate parking-" 

"Okay, the rules are simple!" Sonic is quick to cut him off. "To the canyon!" 

Sonic proceeds to not explain the rules until all four of you have arrived at the ledge he decided to stand on top of. You made a point of dragging your feet because you do not even want to be there. 

"Really, (Name)?" Sonic deadpans. "Making all of us wait like this? You really are a villain!" 

Your eye twitches and a strained grin rises to your lips. "Oh, we're doing this now? For a hero, you're rather rude. What if I was having a bad day? What if that was my last straw and I went back to villainy, undoing the months, years of progress you worked so hard for to make me redeem-" 

"Okay, point taken." Sonic waves his hands in surrender. "But seriously, you could've walked faster!" 

"I didn't even want to be here, my dude. I'm gonna walk as slow as I feel like walking." 

"Ugh. I should've accepted that beaver guy instead..." 

"You called?" The beaver with a red bow tie pops out of a nearby bush. 

"Wait, where did you even come from?! Why are you here?" Sonic questions. 

"I still needed to ask about parking-" 

"Ugh, nevermind. Let's just get started already." Sonic facepalms and waves off the beaver who slumps again, dejected. 

"Alright, being my sidekick is no easy task. This competition will test your strength, stamina and endurance. The winner will be whoever-" 

"Actually, it's-" 

"Yeah, yeah, whomever makes it through all of the unimaginable hardships and brings me the red flag I planted atop the incredibly dangerous but inaccurately named Mount Safety," Sonic finishes. 

"Now go." He points at the obstacle course with a deep frown, clearly just as done with this as you are with him. But regardless, the competition begins. 

All three of candidates, Tails, Eggman and you, kick off your boards to slide down the hill. Yours is an older model you stole years ago (not that the gang needs to know that) but it still works like a charm as you zoom through the course. The fastest route was easy to spot based on the way the course was laid out in the familiar jungle. Even though you do not feel any need to take this seriously, it is because of that your chances of victory are high regardless. But perhaps you should paid more attention. 

If you were not busy thinking about the events from earlier, you would have noticed the ball of swirling blades headed towards you sooner. As the slicing sound draws near, you jump off of the board and land neatly on your feet. Your trusted board, however, crashes straight into a tree. The blades on the other hand fly somewhere deeper into the forest. 

You approach the broken pieces with a frown and pick one up solemnly. It was outdated, sure, but you preferred the shape to the newer models and the way it curved around obstacles. 

Sonic appears next to you in a blur. "You doing alright?" 

"Yeah, my board just broke." You hold up a shattered piece of it. 

"Something fishy's going on. Tails is already going to check it out." Sonic taps his foot on the ground in an unusually nervous manner. 

Given how urgent it seems to him, you make a decision. "You should go without me. You know I can't keep up with you on foot." 

A proud smirk rises to his lips as he gets ready to speed off. 

"And wipe that smug grin off your face, that didn't mean anything." You glare at him. 

"Oh, sure, it didn't, snookums!" Sonic dashes off, leaving you burning with agitation at stupid reoccurring nickname. You take a deep breath to cool down and march back home with your broken board. 

It took less time than you wished for you to arrive at the beach. You toss the broken pieces into your bag and drift to the shore. There is a part of you that wants to scream from how annoying and stupid everything is. You are only seconds away from sitting down on the sand to sulk for the third time in that day, a moment away from screaming when someone cuts you off. 

"Hey! (Name)! I figured something out!" Amy rushes to you and pulls you up by your bicep. "Come with me!" 

"How'd the... sidekick thing work out for you?" You ask, even though you know she did not get the part. 

"Oh, it was a breeze! I was just a better fit for a different employer!" She giggles. "At least Knuckles can appreciate a singing and juggling pizza man!" She sings in an overly upbeat tone and juggles three balls. 

"Okay, that's nice, Amy." You hold down a cringe at the display, but she seems happy at least. "But what did you figure out?" 

"A cure for your boredom, of course!" She grabs your hands and pulls you with her again as she ran. 

Moments later, you arrive at her hut. She swings the door open with confidence and steps in, looking proud of herself. "So! While you were away doing something, I multitasked both getting hired as a sidekick, and figuring out what would make your life less miserable! And then in a stroke of genius, I remembered what you are really known for!" 

"And what would that be?" The smallest of smiles graces your features. 

"For being a strategist! Making good plans, elaborate heists, ambushes and all that!" She throws her hands up to enunciate her point, only to drop them down with a deadpan glare. "Seriously, those ambushes were extremely annoying to deal with." 

"Why, thank you! Only the best for my arch enemies." You bow with a grin. 

Amy sighs but continues. "So, I figured, that what game a strategist could like better than..." 

She turns around dramatically before revealing a pink game board. "A TURN-BASED STRATEGY GAME!" 

"Amy, I'm standing right next to you, you don't need to scream." You rub your aching ears. Amy grins sheepishly and mutters an apology.

"But, a strategy game?" You tilt your head. 

"Yes! A strategy game!" Amy lights up upon noticing the small spark of intrigue in your eyes. "It's a very sophisticated battle game that requires strategy, cunning and merciless aggression!" 

"Intriguing..." you mutter in thought, "...what's it called?" 

"It's called... Fuzzy Puppies!" She exclaims cheerfully in spite of the nervous quiver in her tone.

"Would you like to give it a try?" She asks while holding the board out, a hopeful glimmer in her eye. 

"...Sure." you shrug, but intently eye the rules written on the back of the box. 

And in moments, the pink board is laid out on the table. Both you and Amy have three puppies in front of you, ready to be played with. 

"The goal is to eliminate all of your opponent's puppies from the board," Amy explains, "each puppy has its own unique abilities!" 

"Like Charlene Sharpey, for example, has a bark that can scare a smaller dog off the table!" She holds up the mentioned piece. 

You nod before pointing back to the box. "What's up those hats?" 

"Oh, they're accessories that can give the puppies new abilities! Those are for more experienced players though. We should start off simple so you learn the rules." 

"Okay, then." 

"So! This one is called Warrior Beagle." She picks up the dog. "Usually it works well as counter for Pugnacious Pug, with a couple of rare exceptions."

Amy sets the piece down and picks up a grey dog. "Those exceptions can be dealt with by having Slobbering Sheep Dog also in your party! His ability is to mark his territory, which easily eliminates almost all, even the fiercest opponents!" 

It takes a while for her to explain the rules, but you sit by patiently and absorb the information like a sponge. The moment the game starts, you have a plan prepared and ask for the combination of dogs best suited for it. However, it is your lack of experience that leads to your downfall. 

"Huh? What do you mean I can't attack Goldie the Retriever?" 

"Goldie is currently digging a hole. He's underground and Warrior Beagle can't reach him," Amy explains.

"Also, it's my turn now." She moves a piece and knocks down one of your dogs. 

"Hey-" 

"Charlene Sharpey lets out an ear piercing bark. Pugnacious Pug has sensitive hearing and rushes away from the battlefield." 

"My whole plan depended on that..." you grumble and move your last piece. 

"Goldie the Retriever emerges from underground. The earth collapses underneath Warrior Beagle. You have no puppies left, I win!" Amy smiles proudly. 

Your eyes narrow and you whip out a notebook from your bag. Scribbles and hastily written thoughts are quick to fill the latest available page. 

Amy watches from the side, a bit confused. "Uh, (Name)? What are you exactly-" 

"I demand a rematch!" You point your pencil at her as aggressively as possible. "But I'm writing something down first!" 

"A new plan?" 

"Yes! I'm perfecting my strategy until I'm incapable of losing!" 

"That's gonna take a while." She crosses her arms smugly. "Not to brag but I have been playing for a rather long time!" 

"There wouldn't be a point in playing against someone who sucks." You chuck your notebook away. "Now,  back to business! This time, the game's mine!" 

The day fades into night as several rounds of the game pass by. After each round you passionately scribble away new observations, using trial and error to form new ideas. Even though Amy is just as enthusiastic about the game as you are, she is by now yawning consistently because of how late it is getting. 

"(Name), I'm glad you're having fun, but..." she yawns again in the middle of the sentence, "...maybe now would be a reasonable time to go to bed. It's almost midnight." 

"But I don't feel like sleeping. There's plans to hatch." You never even lift your face away from the paper. 

"Is this how you operated back when you were a villain, too?" 

"Yes. Evil doesn't sleep. Neither do I as its servant." 

"You mean former servant, right?" 

"Er, yeah. Sorry, old habits." 

"It's fine! But you really should get some more sleep. Not getting enough has some pretty bad consequences." 

"Sure, sure." 

Amy sighs but then smiles tiredly. "Well, at least it looks like you liked the game." 

"Obviously," you chuckle, "you said it yourself, strategy stuff is my thing." 

"I really don't get why didn't you suggest this game to me as the first idea." You say while still writing down notes with no pause. "Instead of making me crack my neck on a trapeze and all that." 

"Uh, well, you know..." she hesitates for a moment, scratching the back of her neck. "I was a bit worried you'd make fun of me..."

"I know the others would." Amy crosses her arms with a frown. 

"People always do that." You sketch out Goldie the Retriever before pulling the pencil away. "Whether or not you let them ruin the things you love is up to you." 

"Hm, I guess you're right," Amy hums, "but still, I'd prefer to avoid the unnecessary teasing if possible. I love all of my friends but if they're given something to poke fun at, they can get unbearably annoying." 

"That makes sense, too." 

"Yep. But we can keep playing together!" She claps her hands together in excitement. "Gosh, I'm so happy I finally have someone to play with! I've been a fan of this game for so long but it's tough to find others who like it!" 

"Well, aren't you lucky! I've already come up with thirty-six different strategies I'm planning on throwing your way." 

"Bring it on, (Surname)!"

August 21- 31 2023

This is just how I'd draw Silver, Tails, and Blaze (with a cameo of Amy and Cream)

I've been contemplating Silver's design for a good while, I wanted to draw him with freckles, but since he has fur instead of skin, that wouldn't make a lot of sense (I realize now that animals can have spots on them, so you can expect more freckled designs >:D). Then it hit me, he has Chaos Energy! Just have the freckles be a marking of his Chaos Abilities!

I made him the Guardian of the Time Stones, since it makes obvious sense. You have a time traveller, and a means of time travel, so why are the two not used together??

He's wearing pants because (head canon time >:)) back when Humans and Mobians first interacted, some Mobians mixed their culture in with Humans. That includes wearing entire outfits, living in houses, and having human sounding first and last names. Over the 200 years and since this is a post apocalypse wasteland, it's safer to wear clothes than to not. Though some Mobians still don't wear shirts because it is extremely uncomfortable for them because of extra fur and quills/ spikes.

(+Bonus image of Silver eating a burger because he probably never got to have good food in his 'bad future')

Tails! As Tails grows to a teen, he gets more brown patterns on his fur, the one drawn here is when he's 8. I love the idea of Tails having 2 different colored tails and having them create an effect when he flies with them.

I swapped his oversized gloves with fitting ones, but he has a section of it blue as a reminder of the blue wrist straps Sonic gave him to help make the oversized ones fit him. He also wears socks that matches Sonic fur color (because brothers)

His Miles Electric also goes through a lot of changes. The Miles Electric goes through upgrades depending on what console you can play the game on. In lore reason: it's because he's constantly upgrading the machine. So when he first starts making the Miles Electric (although it is very basic compared to what it is today, only being used as a Chaos Emerald Tracker), it looked like a Game Gear, and in Frontiers: it looks like a Nintendo Switch for example. :)

Blaze was always going to be fun to draw. I made her outfit more fit to be active in (since it's gotta be uncomfortable running in heels and a coat). I like the idea of when she's extremely focused or using strong emotions, her ponytail and tail tip will catch on fire. I replaced the fuzzy material at the end of her gloves with gold bracelets and more jewelry (I'm sorry).

I made the gem on her forehead also a pattern on her arms because I think it'd be a nice touch, and a way to add red-ish pink to more of her character instead of pretty much just on her face.

(+ Amy and Cream :D)

I saw a YouTube post from Harriyanna Hook that you can edit any character in The Amazing World of Gumball and they would fit in perfectly, so I put Ami in Joyful Burger.

5 (possibly) underrated things I always remember about Sonic Boom:

1. Amy is the only member of Team Sonic that can cook, and when everyone else tried, it was purple-ish slop

2. Meh Burgers are vegan, and are made of shredded newspaper and library paste. Sonic is also the only one paying full price.

3. Orbit and Cubot willingly eat marshmallows, despite knowing that it’ll mess with their circuitry

4. Sonic canonically owns glasses, but never wears them (and whether they’re real or fake is up to interpretation).

5. Eggman wasn’t a doctor, and the entirety of Hedgehog Village had a musical number to spread the word.

Remember the episode “Two Good To Be True”? How there’s an alternate universe where Knuckles and Sonic are sort of switched, Dave’s a good, smart guy, and Eggman’s color is actually green? I decided to make some headcanons and ideas for it!

To be honest, this is partially for the 6 people who always like these kinds of posts of mine, which I appreciate. You guys are sweet!

•Sonic is dumb, sure, but he’s surprisingly knowledgeable about first aid, a bit of cooking, and the basics of wilderness survival. He mostly knows it because he looks after Tails.

•This Knuckles lives in a treehouse. I can’t explain why, I just think it’d be fitting.

•Both Sonic and Tails live in a house built inside a cave, and Sonic has a hammock inside and outside.

•Dave does his best to make sure Meh Burger’s food isn’t a health hazard and works on his inventions in his spare time.

•Dave’s mother disapproves of him being a hero instead of a villain and they’ve fought about it before. The fights are slowly getting more frequent. Dave is considering the possibility of moving out, and he’s told Knuckles and Amy about this. They both plan to support their friend every step of the way, whatever he chooses.

•Dave tries to insist that his friends don’t have to pay, but knowing how bad the pay sometimes is for him, the group will sometimes put money in the tip jar or on the table and run. Basically the good version of eating and leaving without paying. (Sonic: *whispering* Quick, Tails! While he’s not looking! / Tails: *puts a ten dollar bill in the tip jar* / Sonic: *picks him up and runs* Come on!) I like to think that they were both stifling some giggles, and when Sonic runs, Tails lets it out and it’s this really wholesome scene.

•Tails is obsessed with airplanes. He likes all of Dave’s inventions, but airplanes hold a special place in his heart. Sonic takes him to the library every week to either reread the books he’s already read about them or check out any new ones.

•Knuckles grew up on Bygone Island.

•Tails and Sonic both washed up on the shore one day. (It was a nightmare when they woke up because they both thought they were in danger and panicked.)

•Knuckles looks down on Sonic a little, and not in an ill-intended way?? He just makes comments sometimes. For example, what he said in the beginning of Two Good To Be True: “Now, if you’ll excuse me, the grownups have a job to do.”

•This Sonic simply has to keep at least some of his sass, okay? I really liked that part of his character.

•Tails sometimes figures out the flaws in Dave’s inventions. He’s crazy smart for his age, and Sonic’s proud of him for it.

•Sonic, like Original Boom Knuckles, does have his moments where he says something sensible and smart. Example— Knuckles: Wow, Sonic! I expected you to have more trouble with leg exercises. / Sonic: Knuckles, I run, hit, and kick at the speed of sound. If my legs weren’t strong, they’d be broken to the point where they might as well be amputated a long time ago. / Knuckles: …You make a fair point.

•Instead of Shadow, the “rival” in the story is Rouge. The reason is largely unknown, but my guess is because she keeps stealing stuff. (I wonder when they’ll notice the pattern of the things she’s stealing…)

•Yes, like in the episode, it seems pretty likely that Amy x Knuckles will be a thing. And honestly, I can see them being a pretty healthy relationship. Don’t get me wrong, Rouge and Knuckles being shipped in this AU would be interesting, but I think the main one is going to be Knuckles and Amy.

•Knuckles has Phasmophobia, and there’s definitely a Halloween episode or story of him trying to face this fear. Sonic dresses up as a ghost to try to help, but the costume wasn’t convincing enough to instill any true terror.

•Knuckles is unfortunately a “hit first, ask later” when someone’s causing trouble. Sonic is the opposite, he tries to reason and ask the trouble maker about their motives, usually by disguising it as a joke or jab at the enemy.

•As for Shadow… Well, I guess you guys would have to wait and see, huh?

World Meeting (pt. 1)

England: *Enters the meeting room* Right, I want to address a particular Tweet as today’s meeting topic…

*All Nations stop what they’re doing to look at England*

England: Just last week, I read a Tweet from a *specific* individual, talking shit about my food.

*All Nations groan, America snickers to himself*

England: *Narrows eyes at America*, I’ll have you know, my ‘Pie and Mash’ is a good, hardy meal and a British classic!

America: *Stands from his desk with a cheeky grin* Come on dude, don’t tell me you actually look forward to eating dry ass meat pies covered in nuclear green gravy and a side of wall paste~. *He laughs mischievously*

England: WHY YOU CHEEKY BAST-

France: *Clears his throat* Mon amie~, I’m forced to agree with America…unfortunately.”

England: *Snaps his head towards France* WHAT!? Says you, you snail sucker! Your food is overrated and overly complicated to make.

France: *Clutches pearls* Sacré bleu, you heathen! At least my food is desired for and doesn't make people fat, no~?!

*America and England both glare at France*

America: Excuse me bro...?

*Germany stands up and places hands on table*

Germany: Now's not the time to talk about frivolous topics as such. The three of you, sit down und shut up!

America: Hmph, says you. You think it's perfectly okay to eat boiled sausages with boiled potatoes and noodles with no seasonings.

*Germany gasps and gets taken a back*

Germany: DON'T TALK SCHEISSE ABOUT MY FOOD, YOU LARD COVERED ARSCHLOCH!

France: And no, covering everything in mustard or paprika doesn't count~.

*Germany is fuming like a hot baked potato*

England: Hehe~. Now you know how I feel in this situation, you bland Kraut!

America: HAHA! And your beer tastes terrible~.

*Everyone deadass looks at America*

America: What?

Russia: That's some bold words coming from you, Америка~. Germany's beer is pretty good, your beer tastes like man pissed into bottle before closing it.

America: HEY! At least my food is well seasoned and diverse...

China: Yeah right, your shit is just our stuff but with too much sugar and salt.

*All Nations nod their head in agreement*

America: No it isn't! I just like lots of flavor....

*England looks over at America's Stanley cup on his desk*

England: I bet that coffee cup is filled to the BRIM with pure sugar and syrups, you fat ass.

America: Nah dude, it's filled with my *:･ﾟ✧special sauce*:･ﾟ✧.

*America opens up his giant cup filled with sauce*

America: It's a combination of ranch, hot sauce, chicken tender sauce, tangy BBQ sauce, ketchup, mustard, mayo, bacon bits, chipotle, sour cream, sweet n' sour and chili sauce~.

*Everyone looks in horror at America's concoction*

England: What in the ACTUAL FUCK AMERICA ?! Why do you have a huge ass cup of JUST SAUCE?!

America: To quench my thirst, of course!

*Everyone's jaw drops in disgust, some start to gag*

Russia: I should have bombed you when I had chance...

America: Nah, I'm just playing! It's for my chicken tenders.

*America pulls out a box of fast food chicken tenders out of coat pocket*

Germany: WHY DO YOU HAVE THAT WITH YOU?!

America: It's my snackies :3c , this is the sauce I use for everything! Like tacos, burgers, pizza...

*North Italy faint after hearing 'pizza'. South Italy gasps and tends to his brother.*

South Italy: You sick fuck, you always fuck up our beloved pizza and pasta!

America: Wha- no I don't!

South Italy: You are the bastard that put pineapple on pizza and fucked it all-a up!

America: Actually, that's Canada's invention...

South Italy: WHAT?!

*Everyone looks at Canada*

Canada: ...damn it. It's really not that bad, honestly.

South Italy: You're just as bad as your brother!

Canada: Fair...

*America gets on the desk and stands on it*

America: How about we once and for all decide who has the best food in the world and that person can talk all the shit they want about other countries food!

*All Nations agrees to the motion, except for Germany*

Germany: Gott in Himmel... *facepalms*

Remembered I had a boom!werehog au and thought

Y'know what I think boom!sonic could've just been a werehog the whole time. Like it's a family curse or something. And throughout the show he's just hiding it the whole time. He only turns on full moons so he can just. Go into the woods and hide once a month and since he's already a bit of a weirdo loner ppl don't think much of it

Actually him being a werehog is why his arms are blue and why he's taller than other sonics. And he wears all that sports tape to cover the darker patches of fur on his arms and legs

And why he eats so much at meh burger even tho the food is shit. I mean we never see any other food establishments except amy's I think? Might be misremembering it's been a while but while that might be the main reason everyone eats there sonic specifically does it bc he craves meat

He's secretly been doggy this whole time and no one knew
