Knothole High

*Welcome to the RL zone! This world is a bit more... Realistic compared to the prime zone, the hero work that Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends takes a backseat, as Sonic only fights Robotnik when he attacks New Mobotropolis. New Mobotropolis is the city Sonic and his friends live in, it is more of an urban city than anything, similar to our world's San Francisco California, or New York City, New York. The mayor is Maximillian Acorn. Be aware... Things arent always what they seem in the RL zone.*

Chapter 1

62391 Speed Street, the house of Sonic the Hedgehog and his Uncle Chuck. The sun rose over the skyline of the city of New Mobotropolis, but it didn't shine into the curtain-covered window of the room of a blue hedgehog who lay in his bed in nothing but boxer shorts and a tank top... His covers awry and his quills a mess, he was suddenly awakened by the sound of his alarm clock, which he promptly picked up, set to snooze, and attempted to go back to sleep... Then he saw the time; 7:43 "Oh NO!" Sonic was suddenly wide awake and out of bed, he quickly grabbed his grey-blue v-neck shirt and a pair of jeans and put them on.

He tightened his belt around his thin waist, threw his door open, and dashed downstairs.

"Hey Sonny, what's the rush kiddo?" His Uncle Chuck asked as Sonic grabbed a can of Beast Energy Drink from the refridgerator and made his way toward the door. "Sorry Unc... I'm gonna be late for school... Again..." Sonic opened his front door and attempted to run down the driveway.

"Sonic! What did we say about you running to school boy?"

Chuck asked. Sonic walked backwards and answered, "I promise I won't blow anything up this time! I'm gonna be late, love ya bye!" Sonic ran out into the street and put on the juice, blowing the trees in his yard with gale-force wind. Chuck smiled, shook his head and walked inside.

Knothole High School, a place where Mobians and Humans go to school together. A red echidna Mobian closed his locker and looked at his watch as the five-minute bell rang.

"Late again Sonic? Ugh... I'm gonna kill that hedgehog..."

Said Knuckles Echidna as he threw his hand in the air. He began walking toward his classroom. A familiar face stood in the doorway as he neared it, the face of the current class president and his girl best friend smiled at him, Sally Acorn.

"Hey Knuckles!" Sally said, hugging Knuckles. He returned the hug, but didn't smile much. Sally was a tad shorter than the echidna, who was actually very big for his age and species.

"Are you alright red?"

"No."

"Why's that?"

Knuckles groaned and looked at his watch.

"My lab partner and future dead best friend is gonna be late as usual... AND cost me my project grade..."

Sally grinned her amazingly perfect smile, and grabbed his hand.

"I can pull a few strings Knuckie, c'mon, hopefully he hasn't been caught by the hall monitor."

Knuckles was surprised, but smiled a bit and followed his friend downstairs.

Sonic made it to school... Late...

"7:51? Seriously? I can't run three miles in six minutes? I'm slowing down..." Sonic snuck along the hallway to his first period class... Hoping that the school's 'Hall Moronitor' didn't catch him.

"Stop right zere!" Sonic facepalmed... Speak of the devil.

"Hey Ant... What do you want?" Sonic asked, turning around. The Hall Moron... Er-Monitor.. Was Antoine d'Coolette, the foreign exchange student. A coyote with a spiffy outfit, and a lame haircut. "You are late again I see, zis time I will be throwing ze reader at you 'edgehog!"

"The Book 'twan..."

"Whatevair..." Antoine began writing up a detention slip for the hedgehog, when suddenly they heard a feminine voice from behind Antoine.

"Antoine! Get to the principal's office, principal Prower wants to see you, something about a promotion!"

Antoine turned around in a flash, "Oui! Zey are finally recognizing ma talents!" Antoine ran off, completely forgetting about Sonic.

Sonic saw two mobians, one who had been speaking to Antoine, and the other who Sonic knew very well.

"Of course Sonic would get caught by the french fry, fastest feet on mobius and he can't avoid a hall monitor."

Said Knuckles the Echidna, Sonic's best friend and neighbor.

The two Mobians walked up to Sonic.

"Thanks, I can't do detention today. Uh, Sally right?" He said, pointing to the girl next to Knuckles who had saved him from the hall moronitor.

"Yeah, and you must be Sonic." She said with a smile.

"You're lucky Sally here saved your pelt! If Principal Prower wouldn't chew you out for being late, then I would have!." Knuckles said, slapping Sonic on the back. The hedgehog groaned a little in pain, Knuckles had heavy arms, lined with muscle.

"Yeah yeah yeah, I got the research and everythin' else Red, I'm lucky your best friend's supergirl."

It was true, Sally wad the Student Body President, Head Cheerleader, Editor of the School newspaper, honor student, captain of the girl's swim team, an all-around super-preppy girl. Sonic never really knew her too well, Knuckles dated her for a week, but that's pretty much all he cared to know. She was a pretty girl, blue eyes, brown fur, auburn hair, a well-shaped body. She seemed too perfect, almost every guy in the school was after her. All but Sonic, he never saw her as 'The Great Sally Acorn' like everyone else did, she was just another kid with better grades than him, and there were a lot of those.

He could understand why she had the drive to excell, her father was the mayor, her brother was the greatest student of all time in Knothole High, and her mother was a famous psychologist, currently traveling the world.

"Thanks Sally, for the save, I'll see ya later Knux. " with that and a wave, Sonic jogged upstairs to his first class.

When Sonic was out of earshot, Sally turned to Knuckles. "So he's your best friend huh?" Knuckles nodded, "Yeah, we've known each other since we were little kids."

Sally looked back into the direction Sonic left.

"I saw Sonic's file in the principal's office during a meeting... It's huge!" Sally said to Knuckles.

"That's Sonic, that kid must hold the record for most times sent to the Principal's Office. He's a first-class troublemaker. I think he spends more time in detention than anywhere else!" Knuckles walked back towards their first period class, Sally followed. Knuckles had hoped to get a laugh out of her, but she just looked intrigued... "Huh... Isn't he on the Basketball, Football, and Track teams?" she asked, Knuckled smiled. "When his Grade Point Average isn't killing him, yeah. He's captain of all three, and the best athlete Knothole high's ever had! He's better than your brother ever was!"

Sally gave him a 'yeah right' look.

"Sure he is..."

"No it's true! He broke Elias' record for most three-pointers in a single game, he ran a mile in three minutes with BRICKS on his shoes, AND he's been MVP Quarterback for three years running! I should know, I'm his left tackle!" Knuckles laughed, Sally shoved his shoulder lightly.

"No way! Nobody's THAT good!" Knuckles looked at her and grinned.

"Sally my friend, you obviously haven't met Sonic M. Hedgehog."

Sally looked behind her as Sonic made it up those stairs...

"I would like to, very much..."
