Chapter Text
The lair was peaceful. The kind of peace that only existed when everyone was asleep and hadn’t yet realized they’d been pranked.
Lightning, Twister, and Fists sat huddled together in their pillow nest, barely containing their giggles as they waited for the inevitable fallout. Eggman, who had long since given up trying to stop them, was seated off to the side with his morning coffee, watching like a tired, underpaid babysitter.
And then—
Sonic moved.
The first groggy stretch, the way his eyes blinked blearily open—Lightning was practically vibrating with excitement.
Sonic yawned, smacked his lips, and then—
“Oh, hey, Amy.”
Silence.
The trio exchanged glances.
Sonic, still mostly asleep, squinted in confusion before his brain finally caught up with the situation. His arm? Wrapped around Amy. Their faces? Way too close.
Amy stirred, letting out a sleepy hum as she nuzzled into Sonic’s chest.
Sonic short-circuited.
“—AHHHH!”
Amy jolted awake with a startled gasp. “What?! What’s happening?!”
Amy blinked, still drowsy. Then she realized where she was.
Her face went beet red. “AHH—”
WHAM!
Sonic went flying across the room.
Lightning, Twister, and Fists absolutely lost it.
Eggman sighed and took a sip of his coffee. “Saw that one coming.”
Elsewhere in the room, other chaos unfolded.
Tails groggily grabbed his wrench, ready to get to work—only for everything he “fixed” to immediately fall apart. “What is happening?! Am I cursed?!”
Knuckles cracked his knuckles dramatically, only to discover his hands were now encased in massive foam mitts. “WHO DID THIS? I CAN’T FEEL MY FINGERS.”
Sticks, having joined the prank planning, woke up completely fine and simply sat back to watch the mayhem with a proud grin.
Orbot and Cubot, upon activating, immediately started screaming.
“MY VOICE! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY VOICE?!”
“To be or not to be, that is the question…”
Eggman, still seated and sipping his coffee, finally sighed. “Well. At least my morning isn’t boring.”
Lightning wiped away a tear from laughing so hard. “Oh man, this was so worth waking up early for.”
Amy, still red-faced and embarrassed, glared at the trio. “I know it was you three.”
Twister grinned. “Us? Guilty? I’m offended by the accusation.”
Fist just shrugged “I have no clue on what you are talking about, Hedgehog”
Lightning, still trying to smother his laughter, waved a hand. “Okay, okay, but in our defense , that was hilarious.”
Sonic, groaning as he peeled himself off the wall, pointed dramatically at them. “You little gremlins are so getting payback-”
But as soon as he took a step he tripped onto a banana
Lightning smirked. “Oh yeah? I’d like to see you try.”
Eggman sighed again. “Oh great. Now they’re starting a prank war.”
Cubot, still speaking in an overly dramatic tone, clutched his chest. “A war… of mischief and deceit! ”
Eggman rolled his eyes. “Someone fix his voice box already.”
