A young, teenage, spectrum hair colored girl could be seen glancing at a clock on the wall in her English 11 class.
"Just two more minutes..." Rainbow Dash thought to herself.
Every teenager knows what it feels like to sit in a classroom with only two minutes on the clock. It's always ages in school, but as soon as you walk out those double doors to freedom, two minutes seems like thirty seconds.
Rainbow glanced at her essay to see that she had three out of four pages done. Now only if she could remember to do it over the weekend, she is in the clear.
Dash lightly shut her notebook and glanced at the clock one last time.
"Fifty seconds..."
"Ms. Dash?" A female voice sternly said across the room.
Rainbow held her breath as she looked eye to eye with Mrs. Evergreen.
"Why is your notebook shut?" Mrs. Evergreen demanded.
Rainbow glanced down at her notebook and then back to the teacher.
"Uh..."
"Ah... Don't give me that excuse. Open it." The teacher spat as Rainbow did as told sinking in her seat a little from the side glances her female classmates gave her. Being in an all girl private school, it's better to try and keep the drama to a minimum.
DING DING DING DING DING
All the students sighed of relief as they hurriedly gathered their things and piled out the door.
Rainbow followed suit with everyone else and tried to blend with the crowd until...
"Eh hm."
Rainbow halted in her tracks as the teacher motioned the poor girl to her desk.
Dash dragged her feet toward her until she was inches from the woman's working station.
"Rainbow...you are barely getting by in my class, you have a D+." The teacher nagged. "If you don't do well on your essay, you might fail this semester." Mrs. Evergreen stated as Rainbow finally looked at the elder woman.
"You are a very bright young woman Rainbow, you just have to put more effort in your school work."
Dash nodded to the teacher until Mrs. Evergreen dismissed her. The young teenage girl sped walked out the door and sighed out of relief. Most of the students have already left the school, leaving her in the back, alone in the hallway.
Rainbow continued her speed walk to her locker, putting in her combo and not hesitating to swing the door open. She grabbed her duffle bag and opened it up to see her soccer uniform inside.
"We are so gonna beat them this time!" Dash thought to herself as she put her notebook in her bag and hurried down the hallway toward the exit.
Once Rainbow made it out the door, she noticed one of her friends nearby.
"Well howdy there Rainbow Dash!" Applejack called from the sidewalk in front of the school, along with Rarity and Twilight.
"Hey guys!" Dash greeted as she walked up to them.
"Are you ready for tonight?" Twilight asked as they made their way down the street.
"Hmph, I was born ready for this. We are so gonna woop some tail tonight!" The hyped up athlete boasted, pumping her fists in the air.
"I'm sure y'all do great sugarcube." Applejack complimented. "Sucks I won't be able to make this one though."
"What? Why not?!" Dash asked.
"Cause I got some things I need to take care of at the farm." Applejack explained.
"Don't worry Rainbow..." Twilight started. "Fluttershy, Pinkie, and I will be there." She stated looking toward Rarity, who had her head buried into a newspaper article. "What about you Rarity?"
The fashionista hesitated to answer until she poked her head out from behind the newspaper. "Uh, I'm sorry what was that?"
"Are you gonna make to Rainbow's soccer game?" Applejack pressed, crossing her arms.
"Oh why of course darling!" Rarity expressed. "I'm sorry, I wasn't following the conversation. I was reading an article about the vigilante."
Rainbow's eyes lit up as she heard the last word and swiped the paper out of Rarity's hands. "Oh, oh, what did he do this time!?" Dash ranted searching through the paper. "Did he stop a robbery?! Catch a criminal during a chase?! Save a kitten!?"
Rarity took her newspaper back and cleared her throat. "Actually, the article I was reading stated that he has caught more criminals this month than the EMC police department."
"Ain't no suprise there." Applejack smirked.
"Well duh, of course he has." Dash exclaimed. "He moves faster than the speed of sound!" She explained, making Twilight roll her eyes.
"Just because youheard that he can do that doesn't make it true." Twilight insisted.
"Well how else do you think he gets from one side of town to the other?" Rainbow asked.
"I'm sure there is a logical explaination of it Rainbow." Twilight sighed.
Rarity frowned at Twilight's sorrow expression. "What's wrong Twilight?" She asked.
Twilight sighed again. "It's just... Shiny has been all stressed out about that guy for a while now. I hate seeing him like that. He said that him, and multiple other officers have ran into the vigilante, but don't ever get more than a glimpse of him."
"Now I would also find that kind of frustrating, but come on, he's just trying to help!" Rainbow said causing Twilight to shrug.
The group of friends finally made it to the sports park and Rainbow parted ways to the Soccer/Football/Baseball park.
"We'll see you later tonight darling!" Rarity called out as Rainbow replied with a wave.
"Well, I'll see you guys at the game." Twilight said taking a different road away from her friends.
"Where are you heading off to?" Applejack asked.
"Oh I'm meeting a friend in Emerald City! I'll talk to you guys later!" Twilight called to them as she fiddled with change she had in her pockets for a bus ride.
Near Emerald City.
A blue hair teenage boy could be seen in his Geometry class, twirling his pencil between his fingers as he listened to his teacher, Mr. Wake's lecture.
Sonic sighed to himself, glancing at the clock.
"Just two more minutes of this crap." He thought to himself.
Sonic glanced to his buddy Miles, or Tails, the nickname Sonic gave him when they were younger since he always pretended to be a fox. Anyway, Tails was scribbling down notes in his notebook as Mr. Wake continued his lecture.
"I'm gonna need to borrow those later." Sonic thought to himself as he started to feel the sleepiness he never fufilled last night start to take its toll until something hit his chest and land on his desk.
Sonic quietly unwrapped the ball of notebook paper and read...
"Are you going to the game tonight?"
Before Sonic could even think of a reply...
"Eh hm... Sonic, is that a note in your hands?" Mr. Wake demanded as the blue haired boy crumbled the note up and tossed it in the trash can across the room.
"What note?" Sonic asked with an innocent look on his face. His question making some of his classmates snicker and giggle.
The teacher glared at the boy, but eventually continued his lesson.
"As I was saying class, the bla bla is a very precise, and delicate way of bla bla..."
DING DING DING DING
The teacher sighed and said the magical word that began everyone's weekend.
"Dismissed." The class piled out the door, Sonic being the first and avoiding the teacher's glare.
Sonic walked down the hallway while fishing his pockets to find his locker key. Once found, he was already at his locker, allowing him to unlock, and open it.
Sonic tossed his book in the locker and pulled out his blue skateboard. Not hesitating to drop it below him and he also grabbed a soda he left in there, piping it open and started to roll down the hallway.
As he strolled down the hall, a group of girls were giggling at him and waved as he went by. Sonic winked at them and waved back, but continued down the hall.
Before he was able to get to the doors to freedom, the principal walked out of his office causing Sonic to hop off his skateboard and pick it up.
"Sonic, I better not see that again." The Principal warned.
Sonic saluted him with his soda in his hand and opened the doors to outside. "You got it boss." He smirked.
Once outside, he dropped his skateboard again and rolled toward some stairs, leaping just over them and started down the sidewalk.
The boy saw his two friends ahead of him, so he swerved around student after student until he caught them.
"What, you guys trying to leave me or something?" Sonic teased getting their attention.
Knuckles, Sonic's other friend, had a huge smile on his face, putting Tails into a headlock as he spoke.
"Hey Sonic, did you hear the big news?" Knuckles asked as Tails struggled to break free. "Ol Tails here has a date tonight.
"No kidding." Sonic chuckled rolling in front of the two, but still facing them while he to a swig of his soda. "Whose the lucky lady?"
"It's not...like that." Tails struggled finally breaking from knuckles hold. "It's just a get together honest."
"Oh come on Tails, you don't have to lie to us." Knuckles pushed even further.
"It's really not like that!" Tails insisted. "I just met this girl at a science convention, and we just shared similar thoughts."
"So...What your saying is...it's a date." Sonic asked as knuckles started laughing and Tails sighed.
"Fine, it's almost like a...date." Tails said crossing his arms.
"Oh, come on buddy." Sonic said wrapping has arm around his little bro while rolling beside him. "We're just giving you a hard time is all."
"You got that right." Tails mumbled as Sonic chuckled some more.
"Wait, your still gonna make it to the football game tonight right?" Knuckles asked.
"Well heck ya I am!" Tails cheered. "I wouldn't miss that in a million years."
"Cool, what about you Sonic? Youdid get my note right?" Knuckles chuckled.
Sonic rolled his eyes. "Yea yea, I got it, and I don't know if I'll be able to go or not. Depends on how the rest of the day goes." Sonic replied.
"Come on Sonic, give it a break will ya? You can't do this every day you know." Knuckles said.
Sonic just shook his head. "It's not that easy knux." He replied.
"Knuckles is right Sonic." Tails joined. "You need to give your mentality a break. Doing this everyday will make you go mad!"
The three stopped in front of a parking lot as they continued their conversation.
"You guys, it's hard to give it a break knowing that there are people's lives depending on you. I know that if I stop, then I'll watch the news one day and see something I could've prevented." Sonic explained as Knuckles put a hand on his shoulder.
"Sonic, people die. You can't always save them all no matter how fast you go." Knuckles told the blue boy as he seemed in deep thought.
Tails walked up to them and patted Sonic on the shoulder and kept making his way down sidewalk.
"I need to get going, see you guys tonight." Tails said.
Knuckles stepped over a small wooden fence that separated the sidewalk from the parking lot and stepped on the side step of his Ford F250 diesel pickup (early 2000 model)
"Hey you need a ride?!" Knuckles called out to him.
"No, I'm ok, it's not that far from here!" Tails called back.
"Suit yourself." Knuckles replied. "What about you Sonic?"
"No, I...need some time to think." Sonic said pointing his skateboard toward the street, where an alleyway stood on the other side.
"Hey Sonic!" The red haired teen called to the blue, getting his attention. "For once in your life, think about your own well being for once would ya?!"
Sonic turned back toward the road and started skating across it. "Yea, ill think about it." He said.
Knuckles sat down in his truck and started the engine, watching his friend head into the alleyway. A car passed by and when it did, the blue boy ...
was gone.
