      The sun slowly went down, going to the mountains, hiding in the edges. Naga lay in the nest and read the morning newspaper with city news through a magnifying glass. Fiona at this time was still learning the lyrics to her song, which she herself had invented and composed for the play in Mobiustown, which she would sing. I still learned it by heart for a long time and tried to remember it. The snake puts the newspaper aside and takes out a large book with a list of to-dos for the day. — No, well, I still can’t go. All my days are packed and planned for several years in advance. So I don’t have time to go to someone for any holidays or competitions. Even today I have a busy day. — the naga opens the book and begins to read out loud the list of tasks for today. — At seven o'clock I feel sorry for myself. At seven ten, I feel sorry for Fiona. At seven twenty I stare into the abyss of a homeless pit until I get bored. At seven thirty night exercise before bed. At seven forty I solve the problem of world hunger. Don't tell anyone! At eight o'clock I have a screening of the film "Guardians 3: Evil from America." At nine thirty or nine forty dinner with Fiona before bed. Can't miss it again. At ten o'clock we play something. At ten thirty or eleven depending on the game time, Fiona and I go to bed on time. That's all. All business for today. Although, if there are snacks with food at that competition, then we could have a snack there, which means dinner and games before bed can be skipped or postponed until tomorrow, since tomorrow in general we do everything the same. You can also put off the idea of regretting and watching the abyss, and also put off watching the movie until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Is the film going anywhere? This means, in general, if I don’t suffer from bullshit and put off unnecessary things that don’t have to be done, then I can go to the iodine bath, and when we return, I can do the exercises right before bed at eleven o’clock. Well. It's decided! — with these words, he closes the book with such a crash that Fiona turned in his direction in fear. — But what will I wear? Should I not go with a bare tail? — But I always walk in front of you with my bare bottom, and without any clothes at all, and nothing! — explains the fox. — It does not count. You are my daughter. The same age, you might say. That’s why you’re not shy about your open spaces when I’m with you. Although if I were you, in front of other Mobians and people, I would still be ashamed to even go out into the street in this form. In general there! Until we find suitable clothes for you and me, you and I will not go anywhere. — Well, I personally don’t worry about that. I have something to wear. - the fox answers and goes to the closet, from where she takes out a leather jacket with long sleeves, spikes and chains. She also takes out black gloves with slits for the fingertips. Leather and long black boots, hip-length and with heels, like shoes. An earring with a silver skull on the right ear, a short black skirt and red long denim shorts. She also did not forget the white T-shirt with a creepy pumpkin face on the chest of the white T-shirt, which she put on at the bottom of the jacket and black glasses with black lenses in the shape of stars. Dressed like a Biker, a rocker and a metalhead, she also went to the mirror and painted her lips black with charcoal, and powdered her eyes and cheeks with ashes from a vase. — Well, okay! But what am I going to wear? — Scourge asks himself and one slightly stupid idea comes to his mind. He crawled into the kitchen and quickly removed the tablecloth from the table so that everything remained on the table. Naga actually pulled off a real French trick. Only he himself didn’t like it and he himself threw everything off the table with his own hands. Yes, and the chair itself was turned over and cursed. He put the blanket itself on his bottom in the area of his tail, as if he were wrapping himself in a towel after a shower or bath. So he looked at himself in the mirror and thought it would suit him. Only Fiona, looking at this, hit herself with a palm on her forehead and said: — Now I’ll die of shame! — This is not a skirt at all, but a kilt. — the naga was indignant and tore off a kind of kilt from himself, after which he threw it aside and went to look for new clothes. Then he found his old tuxedo from his childhood. More precisely, not hers, but her mother’s husband, whom she never found. This suit remained as a memory of his mother and family. Now it’s really too small for him, as he has grown up. — This makes me look fat already. — Don't worry about it! — Fiona takes the tuxedo from the snake and goes to the sewing machine, after which she decided to hem the suit herself. She altered a black blouse with buttons, a black tie and a white T-shirt to be fifty meters larger in length and made the tuxedo larger so that it would be the size of an adult foster dad. Scourge tried on the suit, looked at himself in it and immediately liked it. It even reminded me of his childhood. — O! That's it! It's decided! Now we'll definitely go. — Finally! — Fiona rejoiced, raising her hands up. So, without fur coats or warm clothes, they went down the mountain to the city. And at the bottom at this time, all the residents of Mobiustown, including Ice, Vanilla and Cream themselves, gathered next to Maria and waited for the announced winner, Scourge, to come down to them from the mountain and take part in competitions in addition to the reward. It's just that he's late. Even Mayor Knuckles himself was unhappy and angry. — Damn this Scourge and this Cream, and the days when they were both born. I would damn them at the same time. I had just managed to forget about this nasty snake, after I forbade everyone to talk about it and mention it, and I had just forgotten about how he almost killed me and hurt me, leaving a lump for life, when this eared and ruined everything for me. If this bastard definitely doesn’t come and I nominate myself as the winner, then I’ll talk to her very seriously tomorrow morning. — the mayor said to himself, menacingly holding onto the stage curtains and looking at Cream herself unnoticed. Eggman approaches Knuckles and calms him down by massaging his shoulders. — Calm down, mayor. You are still the mayor of the city. Not everyone should always dance to your tune. Sometimes even you must be able to realize your mistakes and respect the people. These are their own and general elections. — Thank you, Eggman. What would I do without you? — the echidna smiles. — It’s not for nothing that I decided to make friends with you after the one whose name you forbade to be named left. By the way, he's late for some reason. Knuckles smiled sarcastically at what he heard. He was unnoticed and very glad that this slippery one would not come. He stands on the podium and says: — Well. It looks like our winner never came. It looks like the award will go to someone else. — Who cares? — the mayor and all the city residents turned around at the sound and saw the greenest half-hedgehog, half-snake in a tuxedo, standing with his right elbow leaning on the roof of one of the houses. Next to him stood a smiling, maliciously red fox, with his arms folded on his chest. — Here he is! — says Cream. —I knew he would come. — Who's with him? Vanilla asks when she sees Fiona. Scourge crawled up to the crowd of residents and they moved away warily, allowing him to pass to the mayor's office. Naga walked around them and noticed among the frightened not only the joyful Cream, but also the echidna Shade, who waved at him in greeting and smacked her lips. — Hello, Shade. — Scourge himself smiled at her. He also drew attention to Sonic and Shadow, who were also happy to see him. Scourge looked at them a little thoughtfully and crawled to the podium, thinking about the brothers: “I thought you died a long time ago... Like mom!... I feel sorry for her!” — Excuse me, but who are you? — Tikal asks the fox. — I... I'm his daughter. Fiona replies, pointing her finger at Scourge. — Call me Fiona! — Fiona? — Whisper was surprised. — This monster had a Mobian child who grew up and lives with him? — Eggman asks. — I knew that there was still something good in him. — Shadow is proud. — Wasn’t it obvious? — Sonic asks him. — This is dad. — says Mephiles. Scourge stands on the podium and pushes Knuckles aside with the middle of his tail, like a hip. The mayor was pushed onto a pile of snow and fell face-first into a cow dung. From what she saw, Amy Rose breaks the fourth wall and, smiling, looks at the viewer, saying: — Bad people always fall face down in the dirt. A typical element of any comedy. At this moment, you and I throw all our heads back at the same time and laugh out loud. Ready? Rouge and Blaze come out from both corners of the screens, grab the hedgehog by the shoulders, also smile at the viewer and answer: — Ready! After that, the three of them raise their heads up and laugh loudly at the same time: — HA-HA-HA-HA-HA HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!! Knuckles gets up from the mud and, after spitting, shouts: — WHAT'S SO FUNNY??? Scourge jabbed his claw at the microphone a couple of times and began his speech: — So. Residents of Mobiustown, I want to express my personal gratitude to you for choosing me as the New Year's king for the night. But mostly I express my gratitude to this rabbit who called me here. Me and my daughter Fiona, who also really wanted to come down to you and also share the fun at your stupid competition. Well, in short! Where's my prize? Eggman approaches the podium, handing the mayor a raft so that he can wipe the dirt off his face. The mayor's assistant addresses the snake: — You will receive a reward, but only later. Now you are our New Year's king, which means you... And your... Daughter... First you will take part in fun games with the people and food tasting. — “Tastings? What do you mean, will they give you something to eat?” — Scourge thought and smiled slyly. — Okay! I agree. — Will they let me perform on stage and perform my music with a song? — asks Fiona. — You offend me. — Knuckles answers. — Bring our winner a crown and cape! — he orders the people. Sonic and Shadow came out first and were not at all afraid of their little big brother, while the others approached him a little warily. Sonic and Shadow put Scourge on a purple sweater, which they themselves knitted for him in a couple of minutes at super speed, knowing in advance his large size when he came to them. On the chest of the sweater there was a large sewn Christmas tree and the inscription “I love the New Year.” He didn’t want to offend his older little brothers by refusing and immediately put on the sweater, even though he didn’t like it because of the inscription. — Place him on a funny throne! — the she-wolf points out and, together with her sister the lemur, carries a funny throne on sticks along with Amy, who easily carried both sticks in both hands, already a strong woman. — What kind of funny throne is this?— the snake did not understand and turned to the rabbit. — You didn’t talk about the throne!” — I myself didn’t know how this competition was held. I am only eight years old, and this holiday is held once every ten years. — Cream explained. — And please, Mr. Scourge, don’t argue! — Okay, okay, just this time and only for you! Scourge assured, raising his right index finger. Naga sat down on the throne itself, like a small and cramped chair, and they dragged him along to the large tree. They circled him around, rejoiced, shouted and clapped for him. — The time has come and the King of the New Year has taken his place on the amusing throne. — Knuckles says into the microphone on the podium with a bad mood. He was clearly not happy and wanted to be on this throne himself. — The first task of the King of the New Year is to determine which is the best and most delicious pudding in Mobiustown. — Eggman says through the microphone. At first the naga didn’t want to, but since he put off dinner, he decided that it would be better to try anyway, and get enough of it. Everyone fed him their pudding from a spoon, but he immediately swallowed it without chewing it and rated everyone low, although in fact absolutely all the puddings were tasty. — So! Nasty! Nasty! M-m-m, this is not at all what we need! No! No! Horror! Ugh! Disgusting! Outrageous! What a nightmare! Oh! Ugh! Nasty! No! No! When it was Vanilla's turn to make pudding from the salad, Scourge only decided to feel sorry for her, realizing that it was Cream's mother. Tried it and said: — O! But this is the most delicious! Ice, Vanilla and Cream immediately broke the silence and began to dance on the spot with joy, not believing their ears that for the first time in their lives they had now won thanks to Scourge. The others were a little upset that the naga rated their puddings negatively, but it was fun for that. — New Year's dance! — says Eggman and everyone stands up one after another, taking each one by the hips and walking one after another, like trains and carriages. Scourge crawled ahead of everyone and behind him was held by the tip of his tail by Fiona, who was held by Tangle, and that by Whisper, and so on. Scourge pretended to check his watch and wanted to leave. — Oh! What time is it already? That's it, it's time for me to return home! Seriously, guys! Oh, okay! — Resigned, he also began to stretch his arms to the sides to the beat of the music. — Competition for the best cupcake! — says Eggman, and everyone now gave half of it to Fiona herself for tasting, so that she too would be full. Scourge himself asked them to do this. Each of them tried their own cupcake. Scourge assessed it negatively as usual, although in fact it was delicious, and Fiona, on the contrary, endlessly praised all the cupcakes. And Vanilla’s only cupcake, which she treated the fox to, she rated as the most delicious of all and nothing more. The poor family, thanks to the help of the Nagas, again won the victory in preparing the most delicious food for tasting. Scourge was then offered a taste of chocolate fudge and sweets, which the rabbit family unfortunately did not prepare. So this time we did without them. While they were tasting cookies, Cream brought the only raisin cookies they had ever made. Scourge, as always appreciating everything delicious, pretended to be disgusted by all the others, except for the rabbits' raisin cookies, which he also rated positively. Ice and Vanilla almost cried with joy. The mayor presented them with the third golden order as a prize + and a warrant for chocolate fudge and sweets, since there was no winner found, because everyone was disgusting in Scourge’s opinion. Fiona at this time finally fulfilled her dream, played her music on the drums and performed her song that she composed. In the end, everyone loved and praised her, rejoicing in her song and music. By that time, Scourge was already full and holding his full belly, and he asked Fiona to temporarily relieve him so that she could finally taste the fried chicken, duck or other bird that each family fried for the holiday. Even the rabbits had only one piece of meat, and Fiona also felt sorry only for them, rating their piece of meat the best. The rabbits and the rabbit won again, and the fox was also already full and almost fat. Then there was the sack jumping competition, where riders have to jump in sacks to a line. Scourge and Fiona also participated, but Scourge himself, thanks to his height, overtook everyone in jumping and jumped first to the finish line, rejoicing in his victory. Echidna Shade clapped her hands at what she saw and almost screamed with joy. They began to hold Scourge in their arms and rock him, and he cheerfully shouted: — I AM THE BEST!!! I AM THE BEST!!! When he was again carried around on the amusing throne, the naga, for the first time again feeling as if he were a child, was attracted to society, and began to pretend that he respected everyone and gave air kisses to everyone. Scourge was sent back to the podium, where he wrapped his tail like an arm around the mayor's shoulder. He took the microphone in his hands and said: — And so... The very night that we have all been waiting for has come. — Yes, my gift! — Naga reminded. — And as always, the New Year’s king receives the gift first. — says the mayor and Eggman hands the naga a box. He opens it in delight, not knowing what is there, and suddenly his joy gives way to despair. He takes out a long garland with multi-colored light bulbs from the box, and the mayor finishes: — He received a garland as a gift. Now, if he wants, he can decorate his Christmas tree at home with it and it will glow with beautiful lights. Everyone started applauding. Even Cream, Vanilla and Ice were happy. And Fiona herself was proud of her daddy, but not Scourge himself. The snake-hedgehog was very angry, tightly clutching the garland in his hands. He was very angry. Memories of childhood from the past came flooding back before his eyes, when he was bullied and ridiculed, when Knuckles wrapped himself in such a garland, like a Christmas tree. — And now a little gift for my woman, whom I have loved all my life. — says the mayor and approaches Shade the echidna, kneeling in front of her and handing her a box with a ring inside. — Shade May, I ask you to become Mrs. Zehidna! The new mayor of Mobiustown.
