Sonic X: Romancing the Squirrel
As I can't go on holiday this year for reasons I'd rather not go into, I'm completely and utterly bored stiff. And as there's still time before my new stories are up, I decided to write up another Sonic story for the meagre handful of people here who ever bother to read them.
Mac frowned as he thought long and hard about his predicament. He said nothing, and did nothing. He simply sat in the cold, dark recesses of the cave, as he recalled the events of the day.
A nomad by nature, Shada the Hedgehog had been on the move since Mac had first met her, and so had they done for the first part of the day. As they walked along the unspoiled dirt tracks that snaked across Fembius, they had bypassed a small cluster of houses, each with its own quaint, little garden.
"Knithole Village," Shada had explained in that same terse, unemotional voice she often used. "It's full of Sonica's friends, if you must know,"
The two travellers had intended to bypass the village by walking in an arc around it, but before they had gone barely a hundred yards, Shada stopped in her tracks, gazing levelly at the figures before her.
Fembius - as its name infers - is a world where the genders of the "main" universe are swapped around, thus the Fembius equivalent of Sonic the Hedgehog was a firm-breasted vigilante by the name of Sonica. Accompanying her were Nails the Echidna, a pink-furred male hedgehog by the name of Andy Rose, and a muscular fruitbat by the name of Roger the Bat.
"Shada," Sonica narrowed her eyes suspiciously at the newcomer.
"Sonica," Shada returned, equally repulsed by the other's presence. "Lose a contact lens?"
"Is it any of your business?" the blue hedgehog countered firmly, her gloved hands resting on her waist. "Besides, you can talk! Taking your boyfriend out for a stroll in the woods?"
The comment made the red squirrel back up a little. It was common knowledge on Fembius that Mac O'Damia was the only person Shada tolerated, but not once did it occur to the innocent off-worlder that Shada might hold feelings for him.
"B-B-Boyfriend?" he stammered nervously.
"He's not my boyfriend!" Shada snapped angrily, her gleaming, white teeth gnashing furiously. "What about you and Andy Rose?! You two aren't exactly subtle lovers, are you?"
The remark cut deep. Andy Rose was completely smitten about Sonica (another well-known fact on Fembius), but Sonica often kept him at arm's length, largely out of embarrassment.
"You see, Sonica, my love?" Andy perked up. His voice was surprisingly camp for a Casanova like him. "Even Shada knows we are meant to be!" Sonica did not respond immediately, as Andy was now hugging Sonica so tight that the blue hedgehog was struggling to breathe.
"Y'know, Shada," now it was Nails's turn to speak. "Boyfriend or not, you've got a good taste in guys," During Andy Rose's little speech, the echidna had glided gently over the frightened squirrel, her high-heels brushing silently against the grass, and was teasing Mac's chest with her soft, silken paws.
It had all ended there. In the next movement, Shada had whisked the trapped squirrel from the grasp of the red-furred seductress, and disappeared into a nearby cluster of trees, leaving the others to their remarks.
And now, the two were taking refuge in a dank cave close to a river that split the forest in two. Shada had since gone to sleep, and Mac had been left to his thoughts. He turned his head to look at the hedgehog as she slept peacefully.
Could Shada ever truly hold feelings for him?
Then again, did it really matter?
Rising from his seat in the middle of the cave, Mac moved quietly over to the slumbering Shada, fast asleep and oblivious to the squirrel's movements.
"Goodnight, Shada," Mac whispered softly. "Sweet dreams," Then, on the spur of the moment, Mac leaned down and gave Shada a gentle peck on the cheek, before lurching back up in shock at what he had done.
But as the squirrel fumbled to get to sleep, a smile formed on Shada's sleeping face...
FIN?

So, the only way I could see around was to make Andy a little bit camp, though not enough to make him seem homosexual.
