Sharad took a sip of the water bottle Bunnie had given him as they had finished practicing their singing voice. He had never known the water would be good enough for hydrate.

"Feeling better?" Bunnie asked.

"Yeah... Never knew singing so long would make your throat a little sore."

"Well, it takes practice to make sure your singing voice is perfect. You don't just use your mouth to sing. You need to sing through your throat and stomach."

"Huh..."

"Let's take a break. We all deserve a break and I'm pretty sure Y/N is already giving them a break. We're going to do some games and other attractions those people had set up."

"Games?? Attractions?"

"Yeah, like playing basketball for example and you have to shoot it into the hoop and win the prize. You should try it. It'll be fun."

"Okay."

Sharad nodded and began to head off to everyone is indeed doing some activities as he looks around for any sign of his "wisps". He stopped to see Y/N and came over to her.

"Hey, Y/N. Have you seen my... wisps?"

"Oh, they're at Vanilla's house. I can take you there."

"That would be great."

Sharad and Y/N head off and he could see some Mobians laughing and smiling at one another. Seeing them happy makes him feel... something inside. He can't describe what it is, but it feels nice. He glances at Y/N to see her smiling fondly at the scenery around her. Before he knew it, they're now outside of Vanilla's house as Y/N knocked on the door. The door opened to reveal Vanilla as she smiles at them.

"Well, hello, Y/N! How's the rehearsal?"

"Doing great. Is Cream here?"

"Oh, yes! She's outside of the yard having picnic with her Chao and your friend's wisps."

"Can we see her? I was thinking of inviting to go join in the carnival to go play some games. We're having a break."

"That would be lovely! Oh, who's your new friend here?"

Vanilla glances at Sharad.

"I'm Sharad the Hedgehog." Sharad introduced himself.

"Hello! Nice to meet you!"

"You too, ma'am."

Vanilla faces Y/N.

"He's such a sweetheart."

"I wouldn't say that, but sure." Y/N joked, making Sharad playfully glare at her.

"Ha ha..."

"Come in, you two!"

Y/N and Sharad went inside through the living room to the door where it leads to the yard as they could see Cream, Chao, Wisps sitting on the blanket with cups, teapot and biscuits. Y/N opened the door and Cream and the others turned and smiled.

"Hi, Y/N! And Sharad!"

"I see you are getting along well with those wisps."

"Mhm! They sure love tea party! Even the biscuits! I taught them how to share, though."

"I'm sure you did." Y/N giggled.

"Would you like to join?"

"Actually, we were wondering if you and those cute guys to come to the carnival. There's going to be lots of games and prizes we gotta try."

Cream gasped and jumped up, eyes sparkling.

"Do I? Yes!"

"Chao-chao!!" Cheese and Chocola cheered.

The wisps squeaked in agreement, looking interested. Y/N's nose twitches and took a sniff.

"Something burning?"

Alarms were heard and they turned to see the oven being smoked as Vanilla quickly opened it and tried to put out the fire!

"Oh, dear! Where did I go wrong?!"

"Oh, no!" Cream gasped.

Y/N quickly came to the rescue.

"What happend?!"

"I don't know! I was sure I made the exact time!"

As Y/N helped Vanilla put out the fire, Cream turned to Sharad.

"While Ms. Y/N is helping mom, would you like to join in for a tea party for a moment?"

Sharad was surprised by this offer.

"Really? No one... has ever invited me before."

"You're a friend to the wisps since they know it. Anyone who's their friend is a friend of mine as well."

"Well... okay."

Sharad carefully sit down on the blanket in a criss-cross and face as Cream pour him a tea in a cup from the teapot. Sharad grabbed it and held it up. He looked inside the cup curiously, wondering what kind of tea she has given in. He was about to take a sip when she stopped.

"Ah-ah! You can't drink without a pinky. That's the most important way to drink."

Sharad did what he was told and held out a pinky whilst holding the handle of the cup.

"Now you can drink."

He slowly tilt the cup and took a small sip. His eyes widened.

"Wow. This taste good. What's in it?"

"That's my mom special one! It's royal milk tea!" Cream happily informed.

"Mmm."

"Try these biscuits. They're really good."

Sharad happily took a bite out of it and boy, he felt his cheeks turn pink just tasting something so delicious.

"Yum..."

"Mhm!"

The wisps happily took a chow on another biscuits again while sharing the rest with Cream and Chocola. Sharad looks around the yard and to the sun, feeling himself spacing out. Cream noticed it and asked with concern.

"Something the matter, Mr. Sharad?"

Sharad quickly snap out of his gaze.

"Sorry. It's just... this world... it's nice. Though I question myself if anyone is willing to accept me. You ever think of that?"

Cream put a thoughtful look before facing him.

"Well, there's one thing I learned from both the book and Ms. Y/N is that it's the friends we meet along life's road who help us appreciate the journey."

This left him speechless as he sips his tea. Glancing to the side, he could see Y/N putting out the fire with the fire extinguisher. Vanilla looks relieved that the fire is now out whilst looking very apologetic. Y/N assured her that everything is okay. This made him think that Cream is right. He even noticed his Dark Arms taking a liking to this place. Sharad quickly look away, seeing Y/N heading over to them.

"Is everything okay, mom?" Cream asked.

"Oh, it's good. Thanks to dear Y/N for putting out the fire. Though, I'm not sure if I'll be able to bake another."

"Oh..."

"Don't worry. I called Vector to come and help you bake."

"Oh? Vector? How sweet!" Vanilla blushed a little.

"He's willing to help. He's kinda an expert of baking, for sometime..." Y/N said, mumbling the last part.

"Thank you again, Y/N."

Y/N turned to them and smiled, seeing Sharad having a good time with Cream.

"You ready for something fun?"

They nodded.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They're now in the Fazbear Entertainment where they can see lots of games, including food stands. First, they went to Monty's Gator Golf where they could see their friends. They began to have fun as Y/N taught Cream how to play golf with a club by swinging it in a perfect position. Sharad clumsily tried to swing his club, but it ended up slipping from his grasp and causing it to fall into the water. It was funny to watch. Y/N noticed people surrounding Monty as he did a perfect hole-in-one. She smirked and told them to watch as she goes over to Monty, who noticed her. She placed her ball on the floor and got into a position. Y/N swung her ball and it went into a hole perfectly without ever missing it. Everyone awed at that.

"Top that, alligator."

Monty smirked.

"Oh-ho! Looks like I found myself a match. But... do you really think you can beat me? This golf has my name all over it."

"Only one way to find out. Right here, right now."

Monty tilted up his glasses.

"Let's rock!"

After swing after swing, hole to hole to hole, they're right now tied as Monty went first.

"This time no one can beat this hard core."

He wags his tail for a moment whilst giving some girls a wink, causing tem to either faint, sigh dreamily, or squeal. He gave the ball a big swing, sending it flying towards the landslide as it went in and slide up even higher than ever. The ball flew towards Cream, who ducked, and Sharad, who quickly jumped over it. He gasps and looks down, seeing the ball gone and sighs in relief. The ball slid up the tree bark and swung itself from the branch, rolling around the well for a sec, to another tree branch again. This time a little harder as the branch flung it towards the Chao that's sitting on the branch. The Chao shrieked and quickly flew up, dodging the ball. Y/N was amazed by it, feeling a little nervous. Monty smirked at that as the ball flew towards Freddy, Chica, and Roxy. They yelped and ducked as the ball zoomed past them. Y/N jumped up, seeing the ball coming straight towards her. The ball went up to another tree as it slide through the branch to another tree as it went inside the hole and of it and rolls out from underneath. Finally, the ball is now rolling towards the final hole as everyone held their breathe. Just as the ball is now at the edge of the hole, the Chao came over and stopped the ball from getting into the hole and angrily stomped on it. This caused Monty to scream as everyone gasped at that. The Chao got its revenge and flew off. Y/N had to cover her mouth to stop herself from laughing.

"Did you see that?! Did you see that?!" Monty exclaimed in disbelief.

"I guess the Chao ruined your birdie." Y/N smirked.

"Oh yeah? How about you give it a try?" he sassed.

"Gladly."

Y/N places her ball down and got into position. She then raised her club and hit the ball, sending it flying. The ball bounces onto the rocks, sliding through the hole of the log, and bouncing across the bridge, dodging the gap below. It then rolls towards the tree bark and up to the branch as the branch flung the ball away. The ball hits towards the crystal glaciers as it bounces off to the other multiple times until it finally got out and slide up through another log then up to the highest tree before it landed on the tree branch and it flung it up higher than ever as it reached towards the hole. This made Monty feel nervous as the ball landed near the hole and began rolling towards the edge. Y/N crossed her fingers whilst Monty prayed that it won't go into the hole. The ball is now slightly to the edge and then it fell into the hole. Y/N cheered in victory whilst everyone else cheering the same. She did a little dance as Monty had his jaws agape. He then smiled and gave her a pat on the head.

"Not bad, kid. You definitely surprised me. Here. Congratulations."

Monty handed her something that shocked her, while feeling ecstatic. It was a Montgomery Gator Figure.

"Wow! I always wanted to get this, but they were sold out! Thank you!"

"You're welcome."

"Shall we go to some more games to play?" Freddy suggested with a smile.

Everyone agreed as they head to other attractions to play like Roxy Raceway, Bonnie Bowl, Pie-Eating Contest, Tug-Of-War, etc. Not before eating their lunch, of course. Eclipse was really enjoying it as well as the Dark Arms, whilst getting along with everyone else. Y/N was glad that he's having a good time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They're now at the place that made Y/N pure excited. Fazer Blast.

"Oh-ho-ho!! Yes!" Y/N grinned slyly.

"I know that look, sis. Bringing back any memories?" Sonic asked, grinning.

"Oh, yeah! You better be ready for it. I've been waiting for this for a long time. This time I won't go easy on you or any of you."

This made Sally playfully scoff.

"You call that going easy?"

"Just... shut up and let's get on with this!"

"Bring it!"

"Heh. Already fighting?"

That voice made Sharad and Y/N froze. They slowly turned to see Shadow, Rouge, and Omega.

"Hiya, sweetie!" Rouge waved, wearing her Roxy T-shirt and drinking her pink slushie.

"H-Hi, Rouge! Shadow! Omega! I didn't know you guys would be here!" Y/N nervously smiled, standing next to Sharad protectively.

"We just thought of taking a break. We also heard about you making a show. Is that true?"

"Yes!"

Y/N noticed Shadow is wearing a Monty cap on his head with a star glasses on top of it. This couldn't help but make her smile smugly.

"Shadow. Are you... a fan of Monty too?"

This made him froze and quickly looked away.

"N-No. Rouge forced me to wear it."

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? YOU SPECIFICALLY TOLD US HOW MUCH YOU LIKE THAT GATOR AND ADMIT THAT HE'S COOL. NOT TO MENTION AT HOW GREAT HE PLAYS HIS GUITAR. I MEAN, I'M A FAN OF FREDDY MYSELF. SEE?" Omega stated, exposing Shadow while also wearing a Freddy themed bear eared hat.

Shadow's face turned red and slammed his elbow against Omega's chest, which unfazed him.

"Shut up, Omega!"

"He's not wrong~" Rouge snickered.

This made Y/N giggle at how cute Shadow is when he's embarrassed. Sharad snickered, feeling in ease to see him like that. Shadow noticed him and furrowed his eyebrow.

"Who's that?"

"Oh, this is my friend Sharad. He's new in town, so be nice to him. He's also a good sport. We're going to play Fazer Blast. Wanna join?"

"Sure. Looks fun." Rouge nodded.

"Why not? I might even beat you and your brother." Shadow shrugged before smirking.

"Is that a challenge, sir?" Y/N asked, going into his face.

Shadow leans in for him to be near her face.

"Did I stutter?"

Sonic comes in between them.

"Save it for when we actually get into the lazer tag. Plus, I'm pretty sure I'm going to beat the both of you."

"We'll see about that, Faker."

"May the best team win."

Everyone then head inside. Sharad comes near her and whispers.

"Are you sure it's a good idea to bring... them along? What if they noticed something off about me and my Dark Arms?"

He gestured to his wisps, who're looking a little uneasy when seeing the Dark Team.

"Don't worry. I promise you. Everything will be fine. For now, just forget about it and have fun, okay?"

"Okay..."

"Oh, and don't think I will be holding back on you. So you better be prepared."

This made Sharad feel a little nervous about this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before he knew it, everyone's all geared up and ready. Once the light turns green, the teams fan out.

"Alright, Team Roxy, listen up. It is beyond go time." Shadow said.

"Let us go out there, okay, and do your best. Now, I believe in you." Y/N said to her Team Monty.

"This is it, 'cause we have something they don't have." Sonic said to Team Freddy.

"We have Sharad." Knuckles said, looking at Sharad, who looks surprised.

"Me?"

"You're pretty good at stuff, right? You must be a good aimer."

"I mean, I am..."

"I want you all to take a shot. No hesitation. Understand?" Shadow said, looking serious.

"Now, what are we?" Y/N asked.

"Team Monty!"

She gestured to her ear, as if she's hearing it right.

"I'm so sorry, I can't hear you. What are we?"

"Team Freddy!"

"What are we gonna do?!"

"Destroy."

"Yes."

"Now hands in!"

"Helmets on."

"On three. One, two, three:...."

Everyone cheered.

"Let's go!"

Wearing the protective gear, the teams run into the walls with their laser guns. Sharad tucks and rolls and hides behind the wall as blasts was heard. Shadow ducks down behind the far wall while guarding the flag. Team Monty and Team Roxy fire at each other as the blasts goes on and each of the team got hit while protecting or stealing each other's flags. Almost Monty, Roxy, and Freddy Teams are tied for catching two flags and just need one more. Sharad and Y/N both hide behind the walls. Separately, they each check their ammo. Sharad peers around at a hunting blind. Y/N walks up from the ground near the tall structure where she can see the last flag. Shadow notices her and fires her. Y/N quickly hides back into the wall.

"You're going down. Three."

"Two." Sharad counted.

"One!"

From opposite directions, Sharad and Y/N run toward the hunting blind and hide behind it. They immediately noticed each other and aimed their fazer blaster at each other.

"Huh!"

"Whoa!"

"Why aren't you shooting me?"

"Why aren't you shooting me?"

"We're surrounded. If we reload and shoot each other then Shadow wins." Sharad warned.

"Okay. What are you proposing?" Y/N asked.

Sharad stares at her.

"Temporary truce?"

Y/N stares back.

"Okay."

She lowers her blaster.

"Let's Mr. and Mrs. Smith this thing."

"Yes! Yes!" Sharad grinned until it was dropped. "What is that again?"

"What? You know, it's like a movie. Like Mr... No?"

Sharad shook his head, not knowing what she's talking about. She almost forgot that he doesn't anything about the world yet, especially movies he's never watched.

"Just follow my lead, okay?"

"Yeah, here you go."

Sharad hands her his blaster.

"No, Sharad, that's yours too. You're gonna shoot both."

"Oh!"

"Okay."

They each hold two blasters from the fallen team that were out. Team Roxy surround the barricade.

"On the count of three. One, two, three!"

Sharad and Y/N emerge from behind the hunting blind and fire at the Roxy Team. They stand back to back and take down the opposing team. Glimpses alternate between the Team Roxy going down. Shadow taking cover behind the wall and Sharad and Y/N firing. Once all the teams are down, Sharad and Y/N rush over and fire upon Shadow, before he could try and stop them. His armored chest glowed red as he's now out.

"Really? Two against one? Not fair."

Y/N glances at the red flag and smirks. She turns to Sharad, who's busy snickering at Shadow's defeat, and shoots him.

"Huh?!" Sharad yelped and looked down, seeing his armored chest glowing red as well.

He looks at her in disbelief.

"Wow. That is so wrong."

"I told you, Sharad, I'm competitive."

Y/N heads off and takes the last flag. The timer runs out as Team Monty are the winner. The team cheered for Y/N for winning as they head off to get Y/N a prize. Sharad shook his head in amusement and looked down at Shadow. He held out his hand.

"Looks like we're both losers today."

Shadow smiles a little and took his head as Sharad helped him up.

"Well, I kinda expected it."

Everyone are now out of the Fazer Blast as Y/N comes out with her prizes. A golden fazer blaster and a space-themed Monty plushie.

"Looks like I'm the Queen of the Lazer Tag, Sonic."

"Alright, sis. You don't have to rub it in." he chuckled.

"You won fair and square." Sally smiled, patting her back.

"Yeah, I did!"

"Well, we've had fun. See you all later. We look forward to seeing your show, Y/N!" Rouge said.

"Okay! See ya, guys!"

Shadow gives Y/N a smile and then nods at Sharad before walking away to follow his team.

"I think I earned his respect, Y/N. Is that a good thing?" Sharad asked.

"I'm sure it is."

After all the fun attractions, the fun time is now over as everyone head back home for a nice beauty rest.
