"Uh, meow...?" Sonic smiled sheepishly at the people.

"Hey, let them go!" You were held back by two male guys as they brought Sonic and Tails to the fire, preparing to toss them in.

"Pivonka, Pivonka, Pivonka!"

You glance around in shock as the Siberian folk were whispering to each other.

A random man sitting in a chair in front of the with a black robe stood up. "Pivonka!"

"Uh... Tails, what's a Pivonka?" Sonic asks nervously as the fox looked at his gadget.

"It's a Siberian custom to resolve disputes, if we win they'll let us go. But if we lose..." Tails were interrupted by the fire behind them bursting for a brief moment. You bit your lip anxiously. "Oh no..."

"Okay, we have to grab the map and get out of here—" Sonic says but stops with a groan remembering he didn't have the map. "Ugh, where's the map?"

"Oh no, I left it on the table, look!" Tails point to the piece of paper being taken by the same waitress you three offended, cleaning up tables and taking the plates and map off the place where you guys were seated before this whole dispute happened.

"Okay, so all we have to do is beat that guy and get our map back. Sounds easy enough." You summarized the situation reassuringly.

He took off his shirt and revealed a tattoo of himself in the same exact pose.

You cringed and look away at the sight, Sonic facepalmed and glanced at you and Tails. "What?"

Then, a band comes out as they play their instruments and the shirtless leader began to move like crazy with his henchmen joining him. Leaving the three of you confused as to what the heck was going on.

"Oh my god, it's a dance fight!" Sonic gaped at the realization.

Tails eying around the room. "Uh, Sonic. What do we do?!"

"We dance and get that map." The blue hedgehog simply explained to the fox.

"Here we go."

Yeah, this wasn't your best but that was because of the music.

Even Sonic and Tails were struggling with what kind of steps to do, the three of you constantly bumping into or hitting each other.

Sonic panted softly in exhaustion. "Okay, this is not going well. Channing Tatum makes it look so easy!" You couldn't help but chuckle lowly and smirk at the blue hedgehog.

Your eyes catch something
"Wait, Sonic, look!"

The map was on the foot of the leader.

"You want? Come get! Freaks!" The leader smirked evilly.

The entire crowd began to chant. "Freaks! Freaks! Freaks!" It did sting having this come from humans and yet you were one of them.

Sonic shook the yellow fox. "Tails, what's wrong? We need you!" He brought the poor boy out of his head.

"I can't do this, Sonic. I'm not brave like you or as confident as Y/N. My gadget got us into this mess, I lost your map, and now we're gonna get tossed into a fire!" Tails sighed sadly, you couldn't help but kneel down to his eye level and wrap an arm around the fox comfortingly.

"Hey, this isn't your fault, Tails. Don't worry, we'll think of something." You glance at your blue friend who was as nervous as you, hopefully, there'd be a way out of this mess.

Then Sonic gets an idea from spotting something. "Ah, new DJ comin' in!" Sonic zips away and takes his phone out and plugs it into the speakers. Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars was heard throughout the restaurant.

You stood there in confusion for a moment beside a remorseful Tails as Sonic came back. "Come on, guys. I got an idea." He muttered and started break dancing to the tune playing as the Siberian folk stared in silence. "They called us freaks, so let's get freaky." Sonic grins from ear to ear, holding his two gloved hands out for you and the young fox to take.

Your lips curl into a smile and wrap your hand in his despite how puzzled you were, you trusted Sonic and he's saved your life more than once already.

Tails was hesitant, staring at you two, standing as still as a tree.

"Just follow our moves, you'll be fine." The blue hedgehog reassures with a smile, you briefly place a hand on the yellow fox's shoulder and nod softly.

(Just imagine yourself doing The Just Dance version, while Sonic and Tails do their own moves! xxx)

Soon the three of you were busting moves on the dance floor as the Siberians were enjoying the performance.

The opponent leader and his companions were struggling as they lack dancing.

It was safe to say the competition was in the bag with the song choice being your winning run.

"All right, more backup dancers!" Sonic exclaimed as holographic forms of Tails appeared alongside him and Y/N.

"Nice moves, Y/N!" The hedgehog winked.

"Not so bad yourself, blue justice!" You smirked and continued dancing

You gaze up at the two boys flying around the room with copies of them from Tails' gadget. Grinning happily as you did more struts and poses.

"I love Pivonka!" Sonic cheered from above, making you laugh and continue break dancing.

"I'll be taking that!" Sonic goes over to the fallen man and grabs the map. Then the Siberian people surrounded you and carried your figures in victory.

————————————————

"You and Tails seem to be getting along really well..." you glance at the blue hedgehog on your left.

"I-i'm sorry for dragging you along on this, Y/N." Sonic stared at the wooden ground as the fireplace crackled softly.

A frown hovered your features. "Hey, it's not your fault." you started seriously. "I chose to be here... Just like how I chose to help you get to California and get your rings back with dad, while I nearly get myself killed or hurt in the process. I still push that aside and help you when I can."

"Well, we better hit the hay. We got a big day tomorrow with continuing our adventure to find Master Emerald."

"Goodnight, Sonic." You smile at him before lying down in front of Tails.

"Night, N/N." He yawns and lies on his side, curling up a little at the cold.

Then, the fox's tails sprung out and cover Sonic from the cold temperature.
