      Dr. Eggman begins to invent two new robots in a secret laboratory. According to the drawings, these will be robotic doubles of Varanda and her dog Buddy. He worked on the drawings for a long time, but finally invented those very robots that are copies of Varanda and her dog Buddy, who also began to bother him lately. The doctor is proud of his creation and laughs evilly.

      Winter has come and Christmas Day is almost here. Varanda managed to decorate a large Christmas tree that grew in the yard of her house. Buddy and Lucky helped her, bringing garlands and balls. Lastly, they hung a star on the top of the tree. Then Knuckles, Tails, Blaze, Silver, Vanilla, Cream, Amy, Rouge, Shadow and even Sonic himself came to visit her. A little later, Mighty and Ray came running late. She was most happy to see Sonic. Amy came with her corgi named Laika and looked at Varanda with great envy and malice, but she was sure that she could use her dog to lure Sonic and his love to her. The others greeted and hugged Varanda, and Sonic kissed Varanda on the cheeks, since he was a little shy in front of the others. After that, everyone else greeted and stroked the head of first Buddy, and then Lucky. Blaze squeezed Buddy the most, which he really liked. After that, Varanda allowed everyone to enter her house. — They’re all acting strangely. — said the kitten. — It’s normal, you’ll get used to it soon, Lucky. It happens every year around Christmas. — the dog explained to him. At this time, on the roof, the goose Gulpcoder was worried and panicking, talking to himself, looking at the tree: — Christmas!... How can they all be happy about this? Christmas is terrible! Christmas dinner!... Christmas dinner is death, and death is murder... So Christmas is murder!... There is nothing good about this... Christmas is bad! Christmas is a slaughter! Christmas is a sin! — then the goose, flying away, screams at the whole sky: — CHRISTMAS IS DEATH!!! While Varanda and the guests were sitting at the table and talking about their own, Buddy and Lucky were sitting under the table at this time and taking turns eating pieces of meat from under one common bowl. Buddy looked at Like, who was lying on Amy's lap and winked at him, so that he would start acting. The corgi winked back, jumped off the pink hedgehog's lap and went to Sonic's feet. He stood on his short hind legs and grabbed his blue knees with his front ones. Laika even started to whine on purpose and Sonic not only heard it, but also felt it. He lowered his head and saw a corgi, who even barked a couple of times. — Oh, hello, baby. — said the hedgehog and picked up the dog in his arms. — What's your name? And where did you come from? — Laika started to explain to him that Amy had once bought him, but Sonic did not understand him, because it seemed to him that he was barking. — Don't worry, we'll find your owner now. - he answered the corgi, continuing to hold him in his arms and got up from his chair. — Who lost a dog of the royal corgi breed? All the guests, including Varanda, looked questioningly at Sonic. Only Amy raised her hand and said: — He's mine! Sonic rolled his eyes and carried the dog back to his owner. Even Varanda rolled her eyes, smiling and looking at the ceiling. — "Oh, that Amy!" — Varanda and Sonic thought about her at the same time. Sonic had just approached Amy, and Buddy stood up and deliberately lay down under Sonic's feet. The hedgehog, not seeing Buddy, stumbled and almost fell, quickly ran to Amy. She quickly stood up and managed to catch him. — Be careful, Sonic. — she said and picked up her corgi. — Thank you. — She makes a tube of lips, intending to kiss him in gratitude, but Sonic moves away and slightly angrily addresses Varanda's dog, passing by him: — Buddy, what are you doing? I almost fell because of you. — Sonic, he just wanted to play. Or maybe he was curious. — Varanda justified her dog. — Let him not do that again. — the hedgehog asked and sat back down on his chair. — Plan A didn't work. — Laika whispered to Buddy. — Then we move on to plan B. — Buddy whispered to Laika and winked at Lucky. — You know what to do! — Yes, sir. — the kitten saluted and went to Sonic. He jumped on his lap. — Oh, Lucky! — the hedgehog took the kitten in his arms. — I'm glad to see you too. — suddenly the kitten accidentally, or maybe intentionally, let out a small stream of yellow water. Sonic lowered his head in disgust and saw that his crotch had become wet. — Eww! Lucky, don't they change your potty? — everyone looked at Sonic questioningly. Knuckles, like an idiot, began to laugh loudly at the hedgehog. Shadow just smiled, then turned away and covered his muzzle with his hand, so as not to show his quiet laughter. — It's not funny! — Varanda said sternly. Knuckles and Shadow fell silent, and Varanda took a dry napkin from the table and wiped the wet spot between Sonic's legs, which made his cheeks turn red. No, not from shame. — That's it. Everything can be fixed and no one needs to be scolded! — she said and picked up the kitten in her arms. Then she put him on the floor. — Lucky, don't do that again! — Okay. — the kitten replied and walked on, winking at Buddy, because he had completed his action. Buddy winked back and walked on too. — Sonic, would you mind passing me the ketchup for the sandwiches?" Mighty asked. — Yeah, I'll be quick. — the hedgehog answered and wanted to get up, but Varanda got up earlier and, taking her friend by the shoulders, sat him back down, saying: — No, no, Sonic, sit. I'll take it myself. — Well, since you insist. — Sonic did not argue with her. Varanda took the ketchup herself and went to the table to Mighty. The friend, who was hiding under the table, came up to Cream and quietly took one of the two toy cars from her lap. Then the dog put the car on the floor so that Varanda would step on it and hide. He was hiding under the table and whistling, looking at the bottom of the table, as if he had nothing to do with it. The brown hedgehog stepped on the car and slipped on it. Unexpectedly, she fell to the floor and squeezed the ketchup in her fist so hard that the red substance from the tomatoes splashed on the pink hedgehog. — Oh-oh. — Laika got scared and managed to jump back onto the table. Ketchup got on Amy's skirt, which made her grit her teeth and widen her eyes. — Ah!... My skirt! - she says to herself in fear and looks at the ketchup stain. Amy looked angrily at Varanda, who was getting up. — You beast! — I'm so sorry, Amy. I didn't mean to do this. It happened by accident. — the brown hedgehog said fearfully, stretching out her arms. — They hit desperately for accidents. — Amy hissed and got up from her chair. Snapping her fingers, she summoned the piko-pico hammer. — I know you did it on purpose. I'll give punch to you now. — Miss Amy, don't! — Cream stood up for her older sister. — Girls, girls, calm down! — Sonic stood between Amy and Varanda, stretching out both hands towards each hedgehog. — Amy, Varanda apologized and said that she didn't do it on purpose. Don't be so angry with her! Then Lucky and Buddy ran out from under the chair at the same time, starting to play tag and they deliberately ran around Sonic's legs, which made the hedgehog confused and barely keep his balance. — Hey-hey-hey-hey, Buddy, Lucky, don't! Wait! Stop! No! — Sonic couldn't hold on and fell right on Amy, and she fell on her back. Lying down, Sonic and Amy first looked at each other questioningly. Rose blushed and smiled, and Sonic was only embarrassed. The corgi, who was standing on top of the table, looked at Sonic and Amy. He looks straight at Sonic and takes the pose of a hidden hunter who was getting ready to run. — A SMAILE PI-I-ILE!!! — Laika jumped off the table with a cheerful cry and began to fall in the shape of a bomb on Sonic's head, as if into a pool. According to the idea of ​​this plan of Buddy, Lucky and Laika, the corgi falls on Sonic's head, so that under its pressure he lowers his head down and touches his lips to Amy Rose's lips, so that they kiss. However, this is where everything goes wrong. Sonic suddenly began to see the whole world around him, as if in slow motion. He turned his head and saw that Laika was falling on him like a bomb. At the last moment, the hedgehog managed to move his head to the side and the corgi fell on his butt right on Amy's lips. The whole world around Sonic began to move at normal speed again, and Laika fell on Amy by mistake and she accidentally kissed her animal in one place. — Ouch! — Buddy's eyes bulged and he whispered in Lucky's ear. — We forgot about Sonic's super-speed ability. All the guests of Varanda began to point at Amy and laugh at her. Even Varanda and Sonic were quietly and uncontrollably laughing, covering their mouths with their hands, trying to calm down so as not to laugh. Only Vanilla and Cream weren't laughing, but only regretting what had happened to her. — Poor Amy! — they said at the same time. Amy was pleased to hear such regrets, so she quickly forgot about her anger at Sonic, Varanda and her corgi. — Okay. Let's see what awaits us on TV. — Ray said, taking out the remote and turning on the TV. At that moment, the news and the presenter were on it. — ...And they can disappear without a trace, according to weather forecasters. And now breaking news! They report that two new robots of Dr. Eggman are wandering the streets of the city, wreaking havoc on the streets of the city. According to witnesses, these two new robots look like the famous hedgehog named Varanda and her dog named Buddy. However, these are not the real Varanda and Buddy. You are seeing the recordings from security cameras and witnesses' cell phones right now on your screens. — How can you confuse me with Shadow, they are good at it. But when Varanda and Buddy's robot attacks, they immediately understand that it is not Varanda and Buddy? — Sonic was indignant. — Quiet! — Tails hissed, and the host continued. — How terrible that on the eve of the holiday these robots began to ruin everything. The police and the G.U.N. military can't stop these iron impostors. Some were disarmed and wounded, and some were simply scared and surrendered. But let's hope that the real Varanda or at least Sonic will show up at the last moment and stop these iron villains who call themselves Metal Varanda and Mecha Buddy. Buddy made a serious face after hearing this and ran to the exit. Varanda also ran after him. — VARANDA, BUDDY, WAIT!!! — Sonic ran after him. — BUT ME??? — Amy screamed, holding out her hand.

***

      Metal Varanda, who looked like Varanda, but without a mouth and with scary eyes, claws and a jet rocket on her back. She was covered in sharp spikes. Iron Dog looked like Buddy, but with sharp and scary teeth. The eyes were scary and shot lasers that caused fire. Metal Varanda easily lifted the red car and turned it upside down. Then she kicked a fire hydrant with her right foot, causing it to fly far away. Mecha Buddy ran up and bit off a traffic light pole with his iron teeth, causing it to fall on the road. After that, both robots ran on. — What are you doing, iron impostor!? — someone from the crowd of people shouted. — Get them out of here! — pleaded another. — Call the President! — shouted a child. — We should have called for backup! — said one of the wounded soldiers. At that moment, Sonic ran up with Varanda in his arms. — Here they are! — said the hedgehog. Metal Varanda and Mecha Buddy turned to the hedgehogs. — So you’re the ones causing trouble? — Sonic pulled the real Varanda to her feet. — How low did Eggman stoop to create a robotic double of me? — the real Varanda asked sternly. Metal Varanda grinned and answered in a metallic voice: — Dr. Eggman had enough to worry about with Sonic, when suddenly two splinters appeared in his life. You and your stupid dog. That’s why he created us, so that we would destroy you both. — Is that so? — the real Varanda gets angry. — I won't let you hurt her! — Sonic stood up for Varanda, standing in front of Varanda. — We are not your equal. Fight your double! — Metal Varanda answers, and Metal Sonic appears from the sky. — Well, blue fake, are you ready to die? — Metal Sonic threatened. Sonic and Varanda get into fighting stances against their doubles, who also get into fighting stances. At this point, Buddy came running and growled at the robotic dog, who growled at Buddy. — You plagiarists violate our copyrights and do not respect us. — Buddy said, and his robotic double only stupidly made "Woof woof woof." and said nothing. — Apparently you don't speak dog language, you're just teasing. You're just a stupid robot, not a smart dog like me. — The robo-dog didn't like these words. He got angry and ran first to attack and tried to bite Buddy, but the dog managed to jump aside and jumped on the robot, turning him over on his back. — Attack! — Sonic commands and runs first. He and Metal Sonic stand close to each other, try to hit each other with their fists and defend themselves with hand blocks. Metal Varanda attacks the real Varanda with his hands and feet, trying to injure her with his spikes, and the real Varanda jumps back and dodges the double's attacks. — You're too fast and dangerous. Apparently Eggman created you so dangerous specifically to finish me off. He must hate me more than Sonic. — Varanda suggested and, dodging each blow, decided to mock him a little: — In that case, the second me, let your creator know that I love him too. — I hope you're not being serious. — Sonic jokingly replies and accidentally gets hit in the nose by Metal Sonic. — OUCH!!! They're very serious! — Be careful, Sonic! Buddy, you too. — Varanda asked and, standing on her feet, leaned her back, like Neo from The Matrix. Before her eyes, a sharp, spiked leg flew past her as if in slow motion, and by luck, one of its spikes almost touched her eyes. Mecha Buddy pushed the real Buddy aside with his paws and pounced on him from above, trying to bite. The dog turned his muzzle away and was indignant: — Ugh! Do you even brush your teeth? But the robo-dog only mimicked him, making a "Woof woof woof". Buddy noticed a weak spot in the robot's neck, where there weren't enough protective armor plates. Tilting his head to the side, he bit the wires with his teeth and started pulling. An electric current formed, which hit Buddy a little. The robo-dog overheated, started smoking and fell. Buddy threw her aside. The dog ran to help his mistress. He jumped on Metal Varanda's back, catching himself on her iron-hard long hair. — Get off me, you dirty, flea-bitten creature! — the robotic Varanda snapped and tried to shake the dog off herself. The real Varanda got angry at her robot double. — HEY, DON'T YOU DARE INSULT MY FAVORITE DOG!!! — She screamed and while Metal Varanda was distracted by the dog, the real Varanda ducked and tried to grab her robot double by the leg so as not to hurt herself. Metal Sonic at this time almost defeated the real Sonic, knocking him to the ground. The blue robot began to approach threateningly. Varanda grabbed Metal Varanda by the leg, began to spin around herself and threw him at Metal Sonic. She flew and crashed. Metal Sonic crashed into the wall and was damaged by Metal Varanda's spikes. Metal Sonic began to spark and turned off. The real Varanda ran up to Sonic and extended her hand to help him up. — Surrender, tin can. — Buddy growled at Metal Varanda, and she began to tease him: — Bow-woof-woof. Bow-woof-woof. Shut up, stupid dog! — Are you talking to me? — the dog asked through his teeth. — Did you call him a stupid dog? — asked Varanda. — Are you talking to me? — repeated Buddy, getting even angrier. — You shouldn’t have said that! — said Sonic. — ARE YOU TALKING TO ME??? — the dog screamed. — You’re finished! — the real Varanda told her double. — TREAT ME LIKE A SMART OR GOOD DOG!!! — Buddy screamed through his teeth, and Metal Varanda imitated his barking: — WOOF-WOOF-WOOF-WOOF-WOOF-WOOF-WOOF-WOOF-WOOF-WOOF!!! SHUT UP, YOU CUNT!!! The real Varanda and Sonic widened their eyes and gasped. Buddy got even angrier and ran at Metal Varanda with a scream. He began to run around the robot's body like a bullet, not touching a single spike and biting her armored sheets with his teeth. Metal Varanda twitched in convulsions and could not shake the dog off herself. The real Varanda picked up a large stone and, sneaking up on her robot double, knocked out the robot's head with one blow. The neck began to spark. The robot raised his hands, trying to feel for his head, but not finding it, fell to the floor and fell off. Buddy stopped and caught his breath. Metal Varanda's head fell to the floor and also switched off. — Well done, Buddy, a good dog. — the hedgehog praises her dog and strokes his head. He was very pleased with these words and actions. Sonic approaches the headless robot double of Varanda and, putting his hand inside, takes out several gears, one of which is shaped like a ring that can be put on a finger. After examining it, the hedgehog thought and said: — Maybe this is not a ring, but I think it will do as a ring. After all, the main thing is not the gift itself, but the soul and heart of the person who will try to present his gift. — he said and winked at Varanda. After that, he knelt down in front of the hedgehog. — My dear Varanda. You were very brave and courageous today. Just like your smart dog, who can't do without you. I always liked you very much and at first I saw you as my best friend, but gradually and even now I am starting to change my attitude towards you for the better. Now I know that you won’t get lost even on your own and will always be able to stand up for yourself, even when I’m not around. And I want to ask you just one question. — While Sonic was kneeling and telling his speech, Varanda listened to him attentively and was a little scared. Sonic hands her a gear instead of a ring and says: — I understand that this is not an engagement ring, but... Varanda, will you be... My... Wife? The hedgehog didn’t expect this, but she was so happy that she even gasped. — What a coincidence, Sonic! I was also going to propose to you the other day this year and next year, but I was afraid that you would refuse me. — Varanda explained and opened her ring box. Inside, however, instead of a real engagement ring with a diamond, there was an iron ring made by Tails with a pink heart. The hedgehog was a little modest, and Sonic, not expecting this, also gasped. — Well, I understand that it is not an engagement ring either, but... — she did not have time to finish, as Sonic approached, grabbed her, bent her down to the ground, as if dancing a waltz, and they finally kissed each other right on the lips in front of Buddy. He did not even know whether to be happy about this or upset that his nightmares would come true. — NO-O-O!!! — the three heard Amy scream in the distance and were distracted by her. She was angry and breathing through her teeth. - This is not fair! Sonic should have kissed me! He should have proposed to me! He is mine! Mine-mine-mine-mine-mine-mine-mine-mine-mine-mine! — she repeated, jumping and stomping on the spot. Then she looks at her corgi. — IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT, DIRTY MUTT!!! — Laika's eyes widened from what he heard. He couldn't believe that his owner had treated him like that. Even Buddy was shocked by what he heard. Amy continued to yell at her dog and even threw snow at her and kicked her. — IF IT WERE NOT FOR YOU, I WOULD HAVE GOT A KISS FROM SONIC AND HE WOULD HAVE BEEN MY HUSBAND!!! I HATE YOU!!! GET OUT OF HERE!!! I DON'T WANT TO SEE OR HEAR YOU ANYMORE!!! GET OUT!!! GET OUT!!! The corgi started to cry and ran away. Buddy was shocked by this hedgehog's outrage. For a moment he even imagined what would have happened if Sonic hadn't managed to dodge and kissed Amy according to his and Laika's plan? Maybe Varanda would have gotten just as angry at him and kicked him out of their own shared home? Nevertheless, he now felt sorry for Laika because Amy had treated him like that and kicked him out. But he could have been in Laika's place. Be that as it may, Buddy ran after Laika. — Buddy, where are you going? Come back! — the owner called her dog and even whistled slightly, but Buddy this time ignored Varanda's commands and ran after Laika to help him. While Sonic and Varanda scolded Amy and tried to shame her, Buddy ran after Laika to a dark alley, where the corgi stood in a corner between trash cans and whined from resentment. — Laika! — Hello, Buddy. — the corgi, despite the resentment and sad look, was still glad to see Buddy. The latter, looking at this sad sight, said: — Sorry, Laika. It's all my fault. — No, Buddy. From the very beginning, with my dog's feeling, I suspected that this owner did not really love me and was somehow suspicious. What a fool I was to think that she supposedly loved me. — said the corgi and continued to cry. — What should I do now? I was just bought and kept at home for four months, and now I have become a homeless stray dog ​​and will die of hunger. What will happen to me now? Varanda's dog thought and remembered his wild friend from the forest. — Don't cry, Laika. I know how to help you, or rather who will help you. — Who? — asked Laika. — Come with me! — answered Buddy and Laika followed him. He had nothing more to lose anyway. *** Both dogs came to the forest. The corgi stopped and was afraid, because he had never been in the forest and besides, Amy always forbade him to go there, frightening him by saying that terrible dog-eating monsters supposedly lived there. Buddy raised his head and howled like a wolf, although he was not even half a wolf. In response, a wolf howl was heard and from the forest came the wolf himself, named Togo. — Hello, Buddy. Laika? Is that you? — Togo asked. — Togo? — the corgi could not believe his eyes. The half-wolf and the dog smiled and came up to hug each other, standing on their hind legs, as if they had not seen each other for ages. — Togo, how old are you? — We haven't seen each other for four months since we bought you. And I, Lesha, and Morgun ran away and went to live here in the forest. — the half-wolf explained. — I'm also glad to see you again. Did your owner let you go for a walk? Laika lowered his head in sadness and Buddy explained everything himself: — The owner hated him and drove him away. She doesn't want to see or hear him anymore. — Really? — Togo was surprised and realized that he had pressed a sore spot with his question. — I knew that not all owners are so kind and caring. Oh well, Laika. Come with me. Now you will be a wild dog, like me. — Well, I don’t know. What if they eat me in the forest? I may not be adapted to life in the wild. — the corgi explained. — Don’t be afraid! The main thing is to always stay close to me. I will teach you how to hunt, how to properly get food, how to survive, live and other things to live in the forest. — Togo answered. Laika looked questioningly at the wolf’s floor and, realizing that he had nowhere to go and nothing more to lose anyway, decided to go with him. — Let’s go. I’ll show you how we live here. Togo and Laika went into the forest, and Buddy watched them and went back home. At that moment, the goose Gulpcoder passed by him. — Hello, Gulpcoder. You also decided to go to the forest after all. — Yeah, I have nowhere else to go anyway. I'll be eaten anyway, because it's Christmas. A goose can't live in such conditions. I'd rather move away from here for a few weeks until this stupid Christmas holiday is over, and then I'll come back. Goodbye, Buddy. — the goose replied and followed the two dogs into the forest, singing: — Doodle-doodle-doo. — See you later, Gulpcoder. It was nice to wake up with you in the morning. — the dog said goodbye and continued walking home. On the way, he saw Amy, all in tears, walking slowly and crying. Apparently, Sonic and Varanda scolded her severely for doing this to Laika. However, Buddy didn't care, he smiled and thought: — "Okay. She deserved it!" After Buddy came home, and there Sonic and Varanda were already telling the other guests about their engagement and saying that tomorrow they would get married. These words made Buddy a little nervous. He didn’t know what would happen next and how he would live? The only thing that consoled him was that he had helped Laika. After all, his fate would now be different and he would become a wild forest dog. In principle, this could be symbolic, because wolves were the ancestors of most dogs that ancient people tamed.

The next day

      The wedding between Sonic and Varanda began. Not only did all the friends and acquaintances come. Buddy and Lucky came too. Even Togo, Laika, Lesha and Morgun came to the wedding at Buddy’s invitation. Even the chipmunks themselves came. Everyone except Buddy was happy to see how the owner of Buddy and Lucky was getting married and that they would now have two owners. Only Buddy was still worried about himself and his future, remembering the words of those two chipmunks. — I pronounce you husband and wife. — said the priest, and Sonic and Varanda kissed each other on the lips, in front of everyone.
