 (This is just a little special I decided to whip up real fast, since I haven't updated and missed Halloween. Happy Holidays and stay safe!)


After a tiring explanation to the three Mobians how Thanksgiving works, you decided to get all the ingredients for a Thanksgiving dinner. Thanksgiving was two days away, and you wanted Sonic, Tails, Knuckles's first Thanksgiving to be the best. However, while you were away, Team Sonic, as you call them, decided to head down to a farm. Sonic was curious about meeting a Turkey for the first time since he's never seen one in person on Earth, and neither Tails and Knuckles for that matter.

"Are you sure we're allowed to do this, Sonic?" Tails asks with worry behind his tone.

"We'll be fine! I've stalked like this for a while." Sonic replies, sounding quite confident. Knuckles raises an eyebrow as he looks as his blue ally.

"..Stalking? But why do that in broad daylight?" The Echidna tilts his head slightly.

"And that sounds kinda creepy if you think about it-" Tails adds before getting cut off.

"It's not creepy unless you make it creepy." Sonic says flatly before looking at the farm. "Besides, I'm sure the people here has heard about us. I'm sure we'll be fine."

As the three of them observe the livestock of the farm, there were your usual. The cows, the sheep, a couple of goats, a few pigs, ducks, chickens. But one thing caught Sonic's eye..one of those "chickens" were a lot bigger than the rest.

"Whoa...look!" Sonic whisper shouts as he goes over near where the chickens are.

"That must be the Turkey [Y/N] was talking about." Tails replied as he watched the Turkey scratch at the ground and peck a couple of times.

"Be careful...it may be hostile..." Knuckles observes the Turkey with narrowed eyes. Meanwhile, Sonic got closer to the Turkey.

Suddenly, the Turkey shot its head up, and stared Sonic down, twitching its head in slightly different directions. Sonic felt his quills harden as the stood upwards.

"Sonic?" Tails asks with slight concern as he senses confrontation brewing.

"I'm good!" Sonic reassures.

'Relax....everything's fine...' Sonic talks to himself, 'You're face to face with a giant chicken with huge butt feathers...this should be fine, right? It's just a bird. Why am I worried?...But what if this thing eats Hedgehogs for breakfast...ahh who am I kidding? It can't be that dangerous.'

As Sonic approaches the Turkey, the bird grows tense.

"Hey there!" Sonic greets. "I'm Sonic! Sonic the-"

The bird suddenly flaps its wings and gobbles. Once it charges toward Sonic, he instantly zoomed away.

"Yikes! It's large, feisty, giant chicken with huge butt feathers that clearly doesn't like me!" Sonic yelps as he speeds out the pen.

"I think it's safe to say you have the slightest clue on how to deal with domestic fowl." Tails chuckles. Slightly embarrassed, the blue Hedgehog chuckles before looking back at the Turkey. 

"Maybe, but its still cool to look at, even though I could've had my tail pecked at." Sonic replied.

Meanwhile, Knuckles didn't approve of the Turkey trying to attack Sonic.

"You've made quite the mistake, Turkey! You dare attack the Hedgehog?" He approaches the bird with a scowl. The Turkey in question stares at Knuckles the same way it did Sonic.

"You'll pay!" Knuckles got ready to attack.

After about a couple of minutes. Knuckles comes back over the fence with his fur slightly out of place in some areas and some scratches.

"Turkey was a tough foe," Knuckles pounds his fists together, "But I have defended our honor!"

Sonic and Tails looked at each other before giggling.

"Thanks, Knux." Sonic chuckles.

"Come on you guys, let's head back home before [Y/N] worries about our whereabouts." Tails says. The other two nod as they make their way back home.

"Ah yes! The joy of family feasting! I am very curious about this...cranberry sauce!" Knuckles says.

"I'm looking forward to meatloaf....never tried it." Sonic replied.

"Guys...I have a thought. What if that Turkey is incredibly upset that its brethren are being eaten today?" Tails looks between Sonic and Knuckles.

"Hmm, a possibility." Knuckles said.

"Now that you mention it...I feel a little bad...Maybe we can convince [Y/N] to have a different Main course item other than a Turkey!" Sonic suggests.

"That's not a bad idea!" Tails adds.


As the three make way for home, the Turkey was busy pecking at a piece of Knuckles' pecked off quills...

***Happy Thanksgiving!***
