Note: At the time of the story all the characters involved are adults. "Come on, come on, there must be something good around here!" Manic the hedgehog was rummaging through the drawers of his clothes. "I have to look my best for my special date with Donny!" It's been a few months since Manic met Donovan the raccoon and they started doing things together. So much has happened since then. They teamed up with Eggman, fought against the Acorn kingdom and became official boyfriends! There were battles and sometimes the heroes kicked each other's butts, but the dating part is the most important! "These are perfect!" Manic said with a slight blush on his cheeks and holding up what he had found as a trophy. Pink Dora the Explorer underoos with the hedgehog's name embroidered along with a small heart. Manic slid the underwear up his legs, feeling the comfortable embrace of the fabric on his bottom and gently caressing his small penis. The hedgehog approached the mirror and started doing various poses to see how the underoos fit him. Especially how they made his butt look. "Cute and round~ I'm sure Donny will love it so much he'll give me an occasional spank~" The hedgehog said shaking his butt and with a small boner. “He asked me what he wore… I guess I'll have to find out tonight~ hehehe~” Manic laughs like a smitten goof and proceeds to finish dressing. Manic came out of his room dressed in an open orange vest, a black T-shirt and loose purple pants. The hedgehog hated belts, they made everything tight and uncomfortable, so he never wore belts. So what if people can see the waistband of his underwear? That just shows that they were looking at him from the waist down with interest! But it's too late to have a piece of Manic the hedgehog! He has a handsome boyfriend now! Manic walked through the corridors of one of Eggman's large bases, passing several of the subordinate robots. The hedgehog can't wait to get back to his own base with Donovan, not only because of the robots that initially mistook him for Sonic, but also because of the other generals of the empire who were summoned for Dozen's meeting. Conquering Storm was scary. Battle Lord Kukku seemed ready to stab someone at any moment and fly away in his giant ship, though Speedy is kind of adorable at times. Lien-Da has such a long history of betrayal that it was best not to get close to her. And Ahklut is so cold and distant and intimidating. At least there were new faces in the Dozen that made things more enjoyable, it was even possible to socialize with some of them. "I will devour your soul and trample your shell to dust!" … Emphasis on some. Around the corner little Dark Gaia was pushing his forehead against Spike the porcupine's forehead. They were fighting, again. "It's not my fault you're so short that you're out of sight!" Spike says pushing against the little winged being. "Maybe if you stopped eating so much meat and sweets your butt wouldn't be so heavy and you could fly on your fairy wings!" "Good morning, Spike." Manic waved as he stepped aside, preferring not to get involved in this. The last thing the hedgehog saw was a cloud of purple smoke forming behind the porcupine and turning into one of the strange creatures under Dark Gaia's orders. “EEEK! WEDGIEEEEE!!” Spike's shriek filled the halls. And that was the last he heard of that fight. Manic walks into the base's cafeteria, mostly filled with Dozen henchmen or robots drinking oil. The hedgehog looks around looking for a handsome green raccoon, but stopping at a table where 3 jackals were having a little argument. Manic began to approach them, listening to part of what they speak. "Give it back to me! I want that! It's mine! It's my signature weapon! The essence of my character!” Paradox, the youngest of the group of jackals said pouting cutely as he held out his hand. Infinite, the leader of the bandit squad and a member of the Dozen, holds out a metal baton capable of giving electric shocks. “We already talked about this, that problem of yours cannot continue! You can do whatever you want in your room, but not on the battlefield! So you will continue to learn how to use a sword.” Paradox blushed brightly. “It's not like I did that on purpose! It will not happen again!" Supertask, the sub-leader calmly ate his breakfast while he shook his head. “Come on, boss, it's almost like you're trying to take my rifle away from me. Let the boy fight his way." Infinite uses one hand to push the staff away and with the other he holds the young jackal away, almost like an older brother would with his little brother. "You don't end up with your rifle in the-" "Hello!" Manic interrupts with a friendly smile. “But they are my favorite group of canines! Long time no see!" Infinite manages to make Paradox calm down in his seat. "We literally saw each other last night during and after the meeting with the doctor." The lead jackal keeps the staff in his pants pocket. "Humm... hi..." Paradox said pouting and crossing his arms. Supertask patted him on the head. Manic walks behind the jackals and places one hand on Infinite's shoulder and the other on Supertask's shoulder to surround the 3 canines. "What can I say? I like to see other bandits, it reminds me of home!” The hedgehog laughs lightly. "Hey, haven't you seen Donny by any chance?" Infinite pushes the hedgehog's hand away and went back to his breakfast. They don't share a room? lovebirds." Manic laughs once more, hilariously wiggling his hips. “He woke up early, I guess to prepare a surprise for me…since today is my birthday!” "Congratulations." Supertask said offering Manic a handshake. Paradox was still pouting him. "Too bad someone ruined your day by calling this meeting, you could say he stole your day!" He said looking at the boss of him. Infinite made a face. He hates seeing Paradox like this, he's like his little brother, so he had to make that problem end. “Anyway, no, we haven't seen the ringtail. And now we have other things to take care of.” Infinite got up from his seat, but something felt wrong. The jackal lightly patted the seat of his pants and blushed. Mani smiles. "Something's wrong?" "Any! Everything is fine!" Infinite said with his cheeks still red and then looked at his subordinates. “I'll see you with the rest of the squad in a minute. I must, huhhh… I forgot something in my room.” The jackal hurried out of the dining room, though he was walking strangely now. Paradox arched an eyebrow. "That was strange." “Forget about him for now. This is yours?" The green hedgehog says spinning the metal staff in his hand. The young jackal's eyes lit up with a smile. "My weapon! But how come you…” Manic laughs and hands Paradox the staff. “Don't worry about the details. Just be careful where you put this. Punch some hero's butt for me." "I'll punch the big butt of heroes!" Paradox said excitedly and ran off. Supertask finishes his breakfast and wipes himself clean with a napkin. "Thanks for that. However…” The jackal extends an open hand towards the hedgehog. "...I won't say anything, but return them." "Geez, what was it that gave me away?" Manic said with mock disappointment as he reached into his pocket. The hedgehog pulls out purple underoos with DuckTales drawings, on the waist you can read a name, Infinite. "When my boss patted his butt and blushed, it's not something he does just because." Supertask said as he took the underwear and put it in his pocket. "I'll think of something so he doesn't get suspicious or bothered." "Wow, you sound like a great wife!" Manic said with a mischievous laugh. "I'm his second in command, don't think the wrong things." The jackal said seriously, although his cheeks turned red. “If I see your boyfriend I will tell him that you are looking for him.” Was all he said before leaving. Manic waves his hand to say goodbye. And since he is in the cafeteria, I take the opportunity to have breakfast. "Maybe Donny will show up and we can have a nice breakfast together~" The hedgehog picked up some dishes from Eggman's little robot-made buffet, found a spot and began to eat, looking at the entrance to the cafeteria. Minutes passed, many people and robots came and went through that door, but no cute green raccoons. Manic was sitting playing with the broccoli on his plate. This was not the way he imagined starting his birthday. The hedgehog gets up energetically from his seat. "Sure! Donny wouldn't want us to have these things for breakfast! He must have gotten up early, cooked breakfast wearing nothing but a cute apron, and then went to my room!” Manic ran out of the cafeteria without noticing the strange looks around him. “There I come my cute raccoon!” Manic ran through the halls, passing several doors, robots, and a Spike hanging on a wedgie dressed only in his Zelda underoos. The hedgehog planted his feet, skidding to a stop in front of the door and practically hitting the unlock button. "Let's have breakfast in bed together!" Manic said entering the room. Almost everyone on the base could hear the sound of heavy banging, accompanied by what appeared to be a girl's screams, followed by the sound of high voltage crackling before hitting someone. The door to the room opened and Manic was kicked out. “NOT EVEN IN YOUR BEST DREAMS! HORNY HEDGEHOG WITH MICROPENIS!” Lien-Da yells before closing the door to his room again. Manic hit and dented one of the metal walls of the base. The hedgehog was pretty beat up, with a black eye, he was missing a couple of teeth, his clothes were damaged and singed, his completely soaked pants were hanging from his heels and he was having spasms due to the residual electricity coursing through his body. You could even see sparks in his stray hair, though the hedgehog was probably busy watching the birds circle once he fell off the wall. "...door...wrong...duhhhhhh..." Was all Manic could say before passing out and completely emptying his bladder into the hallway. --- A few hours in a recovery chamber later. Manic came out of the infirmary, wearing a bathrobe and a fluffy diaper with the Eggman symbol (Egocentrism) "Okay, bad start, but if I find Dony we can sneak out and go to the casino." The hedgehog says to himself as he walks with his hands behind his back, trying to hide the diaper from him. "It's good that there are these neutral places, seeing the Eggman symbol 24 hours a day is not good for your health." A walk with some teasing later, Manic walked into his room and breathed a sigh of relief as he stripped off his robe. Relaxation turned to embarrassment when the hedgehog saw that his diaper had a spreading yellow stain. Manic smiles nervously at the invisible camera and laughs nervously. "Hehehe... electric shocks... the aftermath..." He says covering his padded crotch and jiggling his butt nervously. The hedgehog recovered from embarrassment, took off his diaper and looked for new clothes to wear. As he did so, he thought that perhaps Donovan had gone ahead and that he would be waiting for him at the Mammoth Mogul casino bar. The raccoon made reservations in advance for them to have a table. Good food, drinks, music, robot waiters and gambling just a few meters away. Perfect for 2 mature adults to enjoy a special day. “Wait for me cute Donny! I'm coming for you!" Manic exclaims as he slips the new underwear on him. Purple underoos with rainbows, even his name was spelled that way. Fortunately his elegant suit was prepared and hung in the closet, however this turned out to be a challenge for the green hedgehog. Every time he tries to put on his pants, he ends up tripping and hitting his face against the wall or floor, lightly jolting his brain. It's not entirely his fault. Manic has never worn this type of clothing before, the closest thing has been when he slipped his hands into the pockets of snobbish men to steal his bulging wallets. So this is like watching a 3 year old trying to dress himself. Manic spent 20 minutes struggling to get his pants on, but finally he got it! Although the feeling of victory was short-lived, these pants have belts, so the hedgehog faced his enemy and wrapped it around his waist. “Huggh! Rich people are so weird, how can they like to dress like this all the time? Manic said to himself as he pulled on his button down shirt. At least he didn't have to fight this time. Same with the jacket, although it was too tight for the hedgehog's taste. Then Manic began to put on the bowtie, for the first time. A few minutes later the hedgehog came out of his room, his face slightly blue and sweating. "I'm coming... for you..." Manic walked down the hall, but he only took a few steps before he bumped into someone. The hedgehog landed on his butt. The good thing is that the bowtie came loose and fell to the ground allowing the hedgehog to breathe again. “Huh? Why are you dressed like that?" Cubot asked seeing Manic dressed elegantly. The hedgehog rubs his neck. "Oh, it's you." He stands up and picks up the bowtie, putting it in his pocket. "I'm going out for a few hours." "Huh, but you're supposed to report to Dr. Eggman." Orbot warned. Manic wipes the dust off his pants. "Yes Yes. I'll be back with Donny before the doc knows it. I'll take a breather for my birthday." The robot tilts its head slightly. “Your birthday you say? But ye-" Before Orbot could finish Manic pushed the robot's head down to jump over him. "As I said! I'll be back before Doctor Long Whiskers notices my absence!" Orbot adjusted his head and watched the green hedgehog run down the hall, then sighed. --- Manic borrowed a vehicle from the base's garage and drove to the Mammoth Mogul casino. The old mammoth was no longer an active villain, but he's also not on the side of justice or someone you want to carelessly take on. In this way the casino area and surroundings became a neutral zone between heroes and villains, nothing big could happen without Mogul allowing it. Manic parked the Egg-mobile in the casino's parking lot, jumped out and set off the alarm before heading to the entrance. A slightly inebriated panda man staggers along, stumbling and leaning on the vehicle. A tape with Eggman's voice began to play. "Caveat! Self-defense system activated!” This caused the drunken man to jump back. “You have 10 seconds to get away from the vehicle!” A missile launcher came out of the Egg-mobile and aimed at the man. “5…4…” "But you said it was 10 seconds!" The panda said now fully awake and alert. "I lied!" The tape said and laughed like Eggman for a second. "3…" The panda began to run while he sweat and something else drips. "Shit! Shit! Shit!" “2… 1… Fire!” The Egg-mobile fired a missile making the panda man fly into the air, then Eggman started laughing on the tape. This was only stopped when Manic disabled the defense system with the keys. "I have to remember to turn off this kind of thing." He said matter-of-factly and walked towards the main entrance. It's barely lunch time but you could see the casino was in full swing, even outside there is a long line of people waiting to get in. But that's not something the hedgehog cares about, Donovan made reservations for his birthday. Manic approached one of the doormen. "I am on the list." The rhino arches an eyebrow at the hedgehog. "Name?" “Donovan.” Manic said with a smile. "It can also be in Donny's name." The rhino checks the reservation list for that day. "There is no Donovan, there is no Donny either." "Huh?" The hedgehog was surprised. "Donovan Raccoon?" "You are not a raccoon." The rhino growled. "It's my boyfriend's name!" Manic said something annoying. "He must be here, a handsome raccoon, green fur, cute ears, big beautiful eyes, ring tail, and a mischievous di-" “No reservation, you have to line up like everyone else if you want to get in.” The rhino says pointing to the row to the right of him. “I have a reservation with my boyfriend!” Manic yelled stomping. "And I have a date with Mina Mongoose." The rhino said sarcastically as he rolled his eyes. "Now go to the line or get lost." "And what will you do if I don't want to move?" The hedgehog says defiantly. 5 seconds later Manic was thrown across the street, crashing into a dumpster. The lower half of the raccoon peeks out. A passerby even spanked him as he passed! Manic got out of the container, bought a drink and reluctantly joined the line. Minutes passed becoming an hour. The hedgehog had a full bladder and was doing the 'I don't want to wet my pants' dance, hopping from one foot to the other as he grabbed his crotch. Manic sticks his head out of the queue to see how far it is to get to the entrance. There were like 15 people in front of him and his bladder was trembling slightly. Manic tries to think of other things, but wherever he looks he finds something that reminds him of his predicament. A car wash with hoses, a street artist pretending to be a fountain, a commercial on a big screen for a tourist destination with waterfalls, people walking and drinking refreshments. There was even a plane with a banner that said 'Drink water!' “Oh! For the love of-!" Manic stomped in his frustration, causing him to lose control a bit and he felt a few drops escape, wetting his underwear. That did the trick. "Duuhhh~" The hedgehog gasps with his tongue hanging out with a face of relaxation, almost pleasure, when the floodgates open. A loud hiss was heard and people backed away as Manic's pants get soaked and a puddle under his feet begins to expand. “Yummy~” The hedgehog sighs in relief. "They watch! That big baby has no diaper!” A man scoffs loudly pointing at Manic and then starts laughing, along with the other people. Although some threw looks of disapproval and disgust. An older woman approaches, taking quick steps. "Pestle!" She spins her bag in the air and hits him in the face. Manic flew off with drool dripping, his tongue hanging out of his goofy smile and his eyes rolling seeing stars. The hedgehog caught up with some flying birds and began to fall. He fell on the clothesline in an alley, spinning several times, losing his clothes and coming back up. Manic was only in his, now drenched, purple underoos with rainbow patterns, he came with the birds but this time one of them took out a hammer and hit the hedgehog's head to send it to the ground. Manic fell back onto the clothesline, losing his underwear but getting the things that were hanging to cover his small penis before he fell. Manic fell face down, wearing a cloth diaper, a tight pink T-shirt with Sonic's face on it, and a baby blue bib with the words 'Prince for a day' on it. The hedgehog sat with a goofy grin, a couple of missing teeth. As a finishing touch to his ridiculous outfit the underoos fell on his head like a hat. Manic passed out in the alley for several minutes. When he woke up he staggered out and went back to the casino row, which was even bigger. The hedgehog crosses his arms in a pout, trying to ignore the laughter, jeers, and cameras commemorating his embarrassment. “…They're jealous because it's my birthday and I'm going to see my handsome boyfriend…” Manic muttered to himself trying to put aside the humiliation, but his red cheeks are proof that it wasn't working. 2 hours later Manic finally got to the front of the line. "Finally." The hedgehog headed for the door but a large hand blocked his path. "What the hell!?" The guard controlling the line, a large corpulent boar prevents Manic from passing. "Where do you think you are going?" “To the casino to meet my handsome boyfriend to celebrate my birthday!” Manic said tired of all the interruptions and impediments. "With those looks?" The boar makes a gesture pointing from head to toe at the hedgehog. "No way. You don't follow the dress code, not even close." Manic, fed up with everything, jumps holding on to the guard's shirt and started screaming spitting. “Listen to me well overdeveloped ham! Today is my day! There's a cute raccoon waiting for me inside this ridiculous casino! So move that huge sausage you call a butt or I'll kick it so bad you'll need surgery to get my boot out of there!" The hedgehog gasps heavily, catching his breath, but still looking annoyed. "What will you do now!? EHH!?” The camera panned far away, but there were sounds of heavy hitting, Manic's whining, and other sounds of an intense, one-sided fight. From what could be heard, the hedgehog was having a rough time until he was thrown at a stop sign, leaving a perfect impression of his face, before falling to the ground. Manic didn't pass out on the floor, no, no... some guys threw him in the dumpster a few minutes later. --- Hours passed and night came with the hedgehog still passed out in the container. Someone opened the container and carefully took Manic out. "Hey, sleeping beauty, it's time to wake up." The person said lightly patting the hedgehog's face. “Ummm…I don't want to go to the doctor…he makes fun of my little willy…” Manic mutters sleepily. A torrent of water hits the hedgehog's face causing him to fully wake up in an elated state. “GAAHHH! The infirmary is flooded!” Manic screamed before realizing where he was and who he was with. "Donny!" Donovan the raccoon was there holding a half-empty water bottle. "Yes that's me. It's good to see that you can recognize me." Manic rushed to hug the raccoon, he didn't even stand up so he was hugging his waist. “I've been looking for you all day! I wanted us to spend my birthday together but bad things always happened!” The hedgehog said crying lightly. Donovan pats the hedgehog's head to comfort him. "Oh, cute but silly Manic... Of course we'll spend some quality time on your birthday... tomorrow..." The hedgehog's ears perked up, then he stiffened, pulling away from the raccoon slightly and looking at him with wide eyes. "... What?" Donovan can't help but laugh lightly. “Manic… your birthday is tomorrow.” He strokes the hedgehog's head tenderly. "You don't think I'd schedule your birthday with a boring meeting with Dr. Eggman on the same day, do you?" Donovan laughs a bit, then smiles. "I was with the doctor early in the morning to have all the day of your birthday free, I have several plans for tomorrow!" Manic had a twitch in his eye, you could almost see his sanity snap like a rope. The hedgehog suddenly stood up with a lost look and a derpy grin. “PARTY PARTY~! MOVING THE BOTTY BOTTY ALL DAY~!” Manic sang while he shook his fists and wiggled his butt for a few seconds. Then he passed out. This time he was caught by his boyfriend and picked up. Donovan checked that Manic was only sleeping. The raccoon shakes his head slightly. “What am I going to do with you… I guess keep you close to take care of you, my pretty loser.” Donovan gently kisses Manic before starting to walk to the Egg-mobile. "Let's go back to the base, I'll try to convince Eggman not to send you to the spanking room for leaving like that with one of his vehicles." Manic didn't respond, unless you count the cute snores from him as he clings to his boyfriend's chest. A better day is waiting for Manic tomorrow. After all, tomorrow really is his birthday! ----- HAPPY ALMOST BIRTHDAY @SDCharm!! I know this month has been quite difficult for you with all the things that have happened.
