Outside the coast of middle Africa, a hedgehog couple was struggling to escape a burning ship and the male red hedgehog was reeling down the lifeboat with his wife, a white hedgehog and five year old pink daughter. But then the rope that held the boat burst and the lifeboat with the female hedgehogs landed roughly in the water. The female hedgehog then saw her husband jump out from the boat and he crawls up on the lifeboat moments before the ship sank. Their daughter hugged him and her mother. Then they saw the coast of the African jungle and they paddled towards land. When they arrived they found some wreckage of the ship on the beach and they saw a large tree.

"That one daddy!" the pink hedgehog girl said. Her father smiled and ruffles her hair.

"Alright then. Let's build a home" her father said.

The hedgehog family began building together a treehouse made by parts from the ship and some tree parts. The young hedgehog girl was helping her parents giving them their tools. Later the tree house was finished.

But during the night, some leopards were sneaking in the jungle.

They came out from the bushes and saw the hedgehog family on a walk and the male hedgehog had a rifle with him for protection. The pink hedgehog girl was holding herself close to her mother.

"Don't worry Amy. We'll be safe" Amy's mother said.

"Mommy, I'm scared" Amy said.

"Don't worry Amy. We will always be with you within" Amy's mother said. But then four leopards jumped in front of them.

"Take cover!" Amy's father shouted and takes out his rifle, firing one shot at one of the leopards, killing it, but when he was gonna reload, one leopard knocked him down. But Amy's mother knocks the leopard aside with a branch.

"Amy RUN!" she tells her daughter.

"Mom! I won't leave you!" Amy cried.

"Amy! RUN NOW!" Amy's mother shouted.

Amy did what she was told to do as she runs to the open window.

Her parents did their best to survive but the danger was worse than the leopards, they were standing near the cliffs. Amy then watched in horror how close they are at the edge.

"MOM! DAD!!!" Amy screamed. Amy's mother looked back and then saw the fear in Amy's eyes. She was about to run to Amy when a leopard attacked her from behind. This made Amy's father so mad that he punched the leopard aside and hits it with his rifle. But before he could hit it again, another leopard lunges at him and his wife, taking them both down the cliff. They all fell into the water where hard rocks were underwater, killing them.

"NOOOOOOO!!!! MOM, DAD!!!!" Amy screamed, she saw her parents bodies float up with their eyes shut. The remaining leopard looked down the cliff at the loss of its comrades who also floated dead by the hard rocks that broke their necks. It then left the cliffs and a heartbroken and traumatized Amy.

"Mom.....Dad........no....." Amy's tears came out of her eyes in sadness.

(One Year Later)

Amy was now 6 years old and she has buried her parents' bodies long ago, she was still trying to recover from her trauma and she had a hard time living on her own as a six year old. She changed her clothing to animal fur skin clothing that she made last year when hunting animals for food.

She heads out the door of her treehouse to go get a drink of water where the elephants find to take a bath. She heads to the water and kneels down to have some fresh water to drink; she drinks right out from her palm. She notices how the elephant herd was having fun with their calves.

"They sure seem to have fun as always" she sighs deeply.

Then an orange/brown badger came behind her. She crawls up to Amy and sniffs her. Amy noticed her and falls back when she saw her.

"AAAH!" Amy screamed.

"AAAAH!!!" the badger screamed.

"Who are you?!" Amy asked the badger.

"Sticks, who are you?" Sticks asked.

"Uhh.....Amy" Amy hesitates a little, trying to calm herself down from freaking out.

"Are you new here? Where did you come from anyways? What exactly are you?" the wild badger girl asking too many questions.

"Uhh.....maybe. Uhh....nowhere. Uhhh....I'm a.....hedgehog" Amy said nervously.

"What kind of hedgehog?" Sticks asked.

"I don't know. Just a plain hedgehog I guess. Where are you from?" Amy asked.

"In the jungle. Living alone in my burrow and learning some survival skills" Sticks said.

"Oh, nice. I've been here for a year. I'm sure I came from somewhere but I don't quite remember. But would you like to be my friend. I've felt lonely" Amy tried to remember but then asks Sticks for friendship. The badger then hugged Amy.

"Of course I'll be your friend. Best friends forever!" Sticks cheered out loud. Amy giggled at having a friend at last.

"Okay, then let's play!" Amy cheered. They both jumped into the water to have some fun.

Sticks and Amy then played with the elephant herd by splashing water at them and they sprayed water at them with their trunks. The two girls laughed out loud for having so much fun.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHA! THIS IS FUN!" Amy laughed.

Later Sticks and Amy climbs up a tree but Amy had troubles to climb up and she almost fall when Sticks helps her up. Then Amy climbs upside down but the vine she was hanging on with a chameleon burst and she lands into bananas for the gorillas, Sticks was nearby and smiles nervously. They then bath with the hippos. Amy then cuts a tree after a rhino was sharpening its horn.

Later Amy and Sticks wrestled with each other.

"RAAAH!" Sticks growled and lunges.

"RAAAAH!!!" Amy attempted to wrestle her down but no success.

Sometime later Amy swings along with smaller monkeys and kept swinging until she drags a snake and lands in a puddle with crocodiles trying to eat her but they bite each other instead. Amy then made her own spear by tying a sharp stone onto it and she kneels down to get some fruits down, she threw the spear and it catches many fruits and hits a tree. A stork was walking in the water while Sticks and Amy waits to jump onto it and ride it. Then Amy threw the vine lasso around the beak and she rides on the stork along with Sticks, but the stork threw them over the branch and hits them repeatedly.

(10 Years Later)

A teenaged Amy swings to the elephants and jumps into the water where hippos were at the bottom. The hippo came up to the surface and Amy was on the hippo's snout and it wiggled its ears. Amy did the same by wiggling her ears too.

Amy and Sticks also helped the gorillas having termites by letting an elephant blow into the termite grounds, blowing all termites out from the holes.

At a rainy day, Amy tied some branches with leaves and gives both her and Sticks cover.

Another day Amy was dodging a snake until it could not reach her. Later, Amy was swinging in the trees above a group of gorillas and jumps between the trees to then land on a thick branch turning with a serious look on her face.
