Okay, Ladies and Gentlemen (and whatever the heck Rad Dudesman is), as promised, here is the finale to my one-shot collection, 'The Sonic the Hedgehog Holiday Trilogy'. This is called 'A Sonaze Christmas', so I'm sure even latroy6 on YouTube could figure out who the main characters are.

Rad Dudesman: I was picking on you and latroy6 in the style of a Comedy Central Roast. Please do not be offended.

A Sonaze Christmas

If there was one time of the year that the people on Mobius loved, it was definitely Christmas. The housed were all decorated. The trees were covered in lights. And Silver the Hedgehog and Amy Rose were in a tag-team snowball fight with Miles Prower, better known as 'Tails', and Cream the Rabbit. Cheese was acting as the referee. You could definitely hear so much joy and laughter going on that even Shadow the Hedgehog was having fun.

The only one not enjoying herself right now was Blaze the Cat, as she was Christmas shopping for everyone. She had a list of what everyone wanted for Christmas with everyone's name on it, except for Sonic and Rouge (amazingly enough). Normally Blaze wouldn't get Rouge anything anyway, but she felt generous enough to see if she couldn't find something to improve Club Rouge any. The place was in need of something nice and Blaze could definitely see some room for improvement. 'Okay, I got Cream a new doll, Knuckles an alarm system (A/N: Bet you can guess why), Marine a new wrench, Sonic's got Tails covered for the both of us, Silver a new history book, and Rouge some new neon lights,' she thought.

Speaking of Sonic, Blaze still didn't know what to get him. He didn't even put his name on the list, which made the pyro-cat sad. Her crush on the blue speed-demon was the second most important thing to her, next to the Sol Emeralds. If it weren't for her Emeralds, then she would be running around the world with Sonic and having a good time. But then again, there were her obligations as a princess. To sum it all up, Blaze was both in love with and envious of Sonic. She loved his freedom, and wished that she had some of it herself. One could say that she was happy and sad at the same time when she was either around or thinking about him.

"I guess I'll never know what to get him," she said, sighing in the process.

"Get who?" said a voice behind her. Blaze jumped to the ceiling when she heard the sound. Unfortunately, her acrophobia kicked in and she lost her grip on the ceiling. The cat felt herself being caught in someone's arms, so she opened one of her eyes and saw that it was Sonic holding her.

"S-Sonic!" she exclaimed blushing. Almost immediately, she jumped out of his arms and faced away, burying her face in her hands to hide her blush. In the meantime, Sonic took a look at what Blaze had bought.

"Well, you've got some handy gifts here, Blaze. The others ought to love them," said Sonic.

"Y-You really think so?"

"You bet. From what Marine had told me, she's needed a new wrench for a while. And this security system should give ol' Knuckles some free time from the Master Emerald." Sonic then looked at the book Blaze bought. "Who's the book for?" he asked as he picked it up.

"It's for Silver as a favor for Amy. With all of the time-traveling he does, she figured it would be best if he knew what he would be dealing with," Blaze explained as Sonic looked through the book.

"This is a pretty big book. Hey, did Amy even put her name on the list?" The question surprised Blaze as she remembered that Amy did indeed put her name on the list.

"As a matter of fact, she did. I just haven't got that far yet." The lilac cat looked at Amy's name on the list. "It says that she just wants clothes."

"Then I won't be able to help out there. I'm sorry, Blaze," said the cobalt hedgehog. That was one thing she liked about Sonic: he was generous to a fault, even if he did get a little cocky.

"It's okay, Sonic. What did you get the others?"

"I haven't gotten anything for Amy, Silver, Cream, or Marine yet. I believe I told you this, but I got Tails a tool chest as our joint gift for him. I also got Knuckles a new book of traps to try out and my gift for Rouge is a new dinette set for her house. I figured you had her nightclub covered." Blaze smiled and nodded. "I also got Knuckles another gift, but it's a gag gift. He tricked me into spending the night with Rouge."

"Didn't you fall for that trick last time?" Blaze asked.

"Actually, the one he did last month was tricking us into kissing. If you recall right, I had you run with a coconut in your hand after I had Tails tie Marine's leash around Knucklehead's ankle for payback," Sonic answered.

Blaze laughed at the memory of Knuckles being dragged along by Marine. "Yeah that was a lot of fun. So…did you do…'that'…with Rouge?"

"Huh? No I didn't. I just took a sleeping bag and let her have the bed. While Rouge is a very attractive woman, I don't like her as anything other than a friend." That put Blaze at ease. "Of course she and I do flirt with each other once in a while, but that's just for fun when she's taking a break from treasure-hunting and I'm not fighting 'Bad Santa'."

Blaze, of course, knew that Sonic was talking about Eggman. The two of them have been a thorn in each other's sides since long before she and the hedgehog met. "If I had to guess, Sonic, Knuckles is doing these things to you because of a possible crush Rouge has on you. He might be trying to help her out."

"Oh yeah, real subtle. Knuckles had better make a New Year's resolution to cut that out. Like I said, I like Rouge, but only as a friend. Now about your Christmas list." That had embarrassed Blaze, as she had forgotten her list.

A while later, Sonic and Blaze came out of the clothing store with Sonic carrying bags of clothes that Blaze had bought. Sonic had sensed that something was wrong with his close friend. "Hey, Blaze, what's the matter? You seem like something's biting you in the tail," he asked.

She sighed. "Sonic, I believe you know this, but I can't figure out what you want for Christmas since you haven't put your name on the list. Why is that? Is it because you don't want anything from me?" she asked.

"Blaze, that's not true. It's not that I don't want anything from you. It's that I don't want anything at all. If you get me anything, I appreciate it. If you don't, I won't be sad over it."

"But, Sonic…" she began before he interrupted her.

"Take the neon lights you got for Rouge's nightclub. Rouge didn't have her name on the list either, and yet you were kind enough to get her something anyways. If that's not a good thought, then I don't know what is. Remember, Blaze, that it's the thought that counts." Blaze took what Sonic said into consideration. Up until now, she hadn't really thought about that. She then realized that that was the reason Sonic and Rouge hadn't put their names on the list.

Sonic looked above Blaze's head and saw a mistletoe hanging over her head. Since Blaze was lost in thought, he took the opportunity to steal her first kiss. Blaze was shocked, but happy at the same time. She was glad her first kiss was from the blue hedgehog she loved so much, and around Christmastime to boot. Sadly, they needed to breathe, so they broke the kiss. "What…what was that for?" she asked, beet-red and smiling.

Sonic smiled back and pointed at the mistletoe above her head. She smiled, knowing that Sonic also did it out of love. "Merry Christmas, Blaze. If you're interested, I'll give you the rest of my present to you later tonight."

"Then I guess we'll be each other's Christmas gifts, Sonic. Merry Christmas, Love," she said.

On Christmas Day, the Mobians gathered around the tree. Cream got some dolls from Sonic, Blaze, and Amy, as well as flowers from Tails (they've been dating since after Thanksgiving). Tails got the tool chest from Sonic and Blaze and a kiss on the mouth from Cream. Amy got clothes and boots from everyone (they knew that since she was dating Silver, she'd try to impress him). Knuckles got his book of traps from Sonic and Tails and the security system from Blaze. In addition to that, there was another gift he got just from Sonic.

Tails and the others knew exactly what that was so they turned away and covered their ears. Once Knuckles opened it, a bomb went off. It was a small explosion, so only Knuckles was affected, covered all in black. "GRRRR! SONIC!" He exclaimed.

Rouge opened her gifts (starting with the one from Sonic) and was amazed at the dinette set. She then opened Blaze's gift to her and was overjoyed. She knew her nightclub needed some more neon lighting in it. Rouge looked around and noticed that Sonic and Blaze weren't there, so she snuck off to find them. The two speedsters were just getting out of his house when Rouge found them. The white bat surprised them with a hug and kissed Sonic's cheek. "Merry Christmas, you two," she said.

"Merry Christmas, Rouge," they both said. Rouge smiled at both of them before taking them to where the others were.

Tails was the first to see them. "Hey, guys, look! It's Sonic and Blaze!" he exclaimed. The kids ran up and hugged the two. "Thanks for the presents, you guys. We really appreciate it." Cream and Marine nodded their heads.

"It's no problem, Tails," Sonic said before redirecting his attention to Knuckles, who was still ticked off about the bomb. "How'd you like the joke gift, Knucklehead?" he asked the red echidna. "That was payback for the prank from the other day."

"I figured as much. Just so you know, Sonic, I'm going to keep doing those until you get the memo," Knuckles said.

"Trust me, I've already got that memo a while ago. Take a look. That's from Rouge." Sonic was pointing at the lipstick mark on his cheek where Rouge kissed him.

"What about your gift from Blaze?"

"I am his gift. And he's mine," Blaze answered.

"Well in my opinion, it's about time," Cream said. From Tails and Marine, Sonic and Blaze each got some treadmills for running (with Tails having to fix up Marine's). Cream gave them each a Christmas-theme flower crown. Amy and Silver gave them some Winter gear. And Knuckles gave them a pair of binoculars, should they see trouble happening.

"Thanks, guys. We really appreciate it," said Blaze. Everyone cheered for the two heroes before breaking out in song. The song was 'We Wish You a Merry Christmas'.

THE END

I hope you guys enjoyed reading the trilogy as much as I enjoyed writing it. I also hope you enjoyed the minor roasting I did on Rad Dudesman and latroy6. I've been watching a few Comedy Central Roasts, namely Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy, and Gilbert Gottfried's part on David Hasselhoff. But I digress, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
