Sonic Boom - Selfish Needs

Hey, guys. How’s it going with Sonic Boom? If you like this show, then I’m OK with that. For me, however, it’s a completely different story. I would be lying if I said that I really, really like this show. Now here’s what I’m about to tell you: I have been putting a lot of thought into this since I viewed the Brodown Showdown episode, and one of the things that caught my attention was the start of this episode. Amy receives a Most Selfless Award that she had nominated herself for, which is pretty selfish if you ask me. No one is angry with her for what she did, and I doubt that they ever will be. Plus, she wins a trophy in the end.

So I came up with an idea to make an Amy based episode called ‘Selfish Needs’ and how it could probably work. Let’s begin, shall we? The episode starts off with Amy hearing about a competition for a Most Selfless Award, which can only be awarded to the most selfless people. Amy gets excited over this and enters a room where anyone can nominate anyone except themselves. Amy ponders this and writes down a name on a piece of paper. A few weeks later, Amy (at home) receives a Most Selfless Award and leaps for joy.

Sonic and Knuckles show up and ask her what happened, she tells them the good news but she doesn’t explain how it happened. The boys then decide to let Tails and Sticks know about this, Tails is happy for Amy and Sticks is ecstatic about the news. Amy wanders around town hearing about the villagers’ confusion about how she won the award. She is filled with nerves but manages to calm herself down.

Sometime later, at Amy’s house, Team Sonic is already dressed to go to an award hall to cheer on and support Amy for her selfless acts. Sticks and Tails congratulate her for her success (as they never had a chance to do so earlier) and Team Sonic is ready to leave, but before Tails leaves with them, he checks his computer to research the competition for the Most Selfless Award and discovers a shocking secret.

On their way to the award hall, Team Sonic is still praising Amy for her success. All goes well until Tails asks her how she was able to win the award when no one voted for her. Team Sonic is confused about Tails’ behaviour, and Tails tells them what he knows: Amy nominated herself! This devastates and angers the team, scolding her for her selfish needs. Amy explains why she did such a thing. Team Sonic can’t believe that Amy did something like that, and Amy is angry and upset with the team for not supporting her.

During the ceremony, Amy is ridden with guilt and remorse for what she did. And when she is announced as the winner, she hesitantly walks onto the stage to receive her reward. Amy confesses what she did, and everyone is shocked. She explains herself and apologises for being selfish, before giving her reward to the real winner, another woman. With tears in her eyes, she runs off, with Team Sonic following her. As soon as they catch up with Amy, outside the award hall, they tell her about their expectations (that she was going to take the award and pretend that nothing happened) before announcing how proud they are of her, for selflessly giving the reward to someone who truly deserved it.

Some of you guys might not like this story, but that’s all I could come up with. Also, in case you're wondering how the voting system works in my idea, my subconscious came up with the idea that in order to win, you would have to perform as many selfless acts as you can. 

What do I mean by this? Well, let's say someone voted for you and wrote down three selfless things about you, then another person votes and writes down six selfless things about you; that adds up to nine selfless acts. 
To put it simply, the more selfless acts you perform, the better the chances you have at winning. No matter how many people voted for you. Just one of those 'silly cartoon logic' kind of things.

So, how was the story for you guys? Be sure to let me know in the comments (Google+) what you think of it. 

Thank you guys for reading, and take care.
