**Guess what? Middle skool time!**

Star and Jennifer headed to their bus stop, tired and lifeless. Star suddenly screamed at Jennifer.

"I still don't understand why we have to go to school! We saved the future for crying out Fucking loud!" she ranted. Star was the daughter of Silver the hedgehog and Blaze the Cat. Jennifer, a wolf with wings and Star's best friend, rolled her eyes at the complaining cat.

Star looked over at the bus stop next to them. A golden, three-tailed fox got on, nervously.

"And Sabrina's all on her own! The poor, helpless fox, she won't last a day!" Star shouted. Jennifer sighed.

"If it means stopping Eggman once and for all, then it's worth all the bullies and boring teachers. But, at least we're in the same classes, right?" Jennifer tried to cheer her friend up. Star just sighed.

"Same classes my ass. We have only got two periods together, my feathery friend, lunch and 6th period!" She argued. Jennifer looked at the class schedule, only to find out that her friend was right.

"Well, on the bright side, Forest is there too," Jennifer giggled. Star blushed and gave her an angry glare.

"Look, Jennifer. I may have a crush on the guy, but…" she trailed off as a slim, green hedgehog walked to the bus stop.

"Hi guys," he greeted unexcitfully. Star blushed even more and smiled.

"Jennifer…how many classes do I have with him?" Star whispered into the hybrid's ear. Jennifer smirked.

"Face it, you do like him…" she whispered back, looking at the schedule. Luckily, Forest was too tired to pay attention to the girls' conversation.

"You have…Advisory, 1st, 2nd, 5th and 6th period with Forest, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th period with me, and 6th period with Sabrina," Jennifer explained. Star smiled. "Well, school might not be so bad after all!" the blue cat exclaimed. Just then, the school bus finally arrived. All three teens got on, while everyone stared at the new students. An orange hedgehog with a black jacket smirked.

"You need a place to sit?" he asked. Star smiled and sat with him. The orange hedgehog smiled back, trying hard not to drool. "My name's Sean. Sean the hedgehog," he greeted. Star turned to him. She smiled back.

"My name's Star the Cat. I'm Silver and Blaze's daughter. Nice to meet you, Sean," she answered. Sean acted shocked.

"Silver and Blaze's daughter, huh? Well, you learn somethin' new every day!" he laughed. Star giggled, then turned to Forest, who was staring off into space. He then noticed a red hedgehog with a blue jacket around his waist and he was wearing black jeans. Forest smiled.

"Hey…" he greeted. The red hedgehog took his eyes away from his book, and stared at the green hedgehog, who was smiling. The hedgehog looked around the bus, seeing if there was anybody beside him or behind him.

"A-are you talking…to me?" he asked nervously. Forest nodded. "My name's Forest. What's yours?" The green hedgehog asked. The red hedgehog stared at him for a while.

"J…Jeremy…" the red hedgehog finally muttered. Forest smiled. He looked around and saw that nobody was within two seats of him.

"Where are your friends?" Forest asked. Jeremy sighed and looked down, sadness in his eyes. That was the thing; he had no friends. Forest realized why he put his head down. The green hedgehog smiled and asked,

"Do you need a friend?"

Jeremy put his head up in shock. Forest was serious. Jeremy started to smile with him. He accepted and smiled even wider. Jennifer called for a group meeting.

"So, why are we going to middle school again?" Star asked. Jennifer sighed. "We all know that Eggman is on the loose once again. He has hiked his way up to secretary in this school, and tricked all the other teachers. We know what he wants, and apparently, it's Star. Even though we don't have the necklace, Iblis is still a part of her. There is still a chance, with the help of her; he could release him into the world. Star; try to figure out what Eggman wants with the students. Forest, blend in and analyze Eggman's office every once in a while and see what you can find. I'll find any evidence of Eggman's evil plans. Everybody got it?" Jennifer asked. The two teens nodded. Jennifer sighed.

"One last thing: Don't use your powers,"
