Yay! This story is beginning! I need some help for character ideas, so I'll accept some OC's. Thanks! Please read and review!


Oh no! I'm going to be late! Sonic thought as he raced to school. He had woke up late after someone had broken into his house to prank him, AGAIN. All he wanted to do was check out Spead High School grounds. It was his first day of high school, and he was going to be late!

Just as he thought he wouldn't make it, his "friend", Shadow, raced up in his illegally modified motorcycle. He called it Dark Rider 2.0. It could go faster than either the two hedgehogs could run. The only problem was at that speed, it over heated. "Jump on. I might as well take your lazy ass the rest of the way," Shadow said as he prepared to race the rest of the way.

"Nah, I'm good with letting the wind rush past me as I run freely." Sonic said with a grin. Without saying another word, Shadow left him in the dust. Sheesh, he's could have said bye at least. Sonic thought as he ran the rest of the way.

When he finally arrived, he raced down the hall to his 1st class period, English. He had almost made it when the tardy bell rang. No! So close! He thought as he ran through. Inside he found Shadow already seated. Amy sat next to an empty chair. When she saw him, she gestured wildly to the seat next to her. Looking around, he saw only one other chair. It was in front of a kid who must have moved here during the break.

He was average in height, with a small scar next to his right eye. He wore a belt on him with sheaths for a dagger. On his chest there was a nametag that said "Hi, my name is Dagger". The wolf had a childish grin on his face as though guessing what Sonic knew. If he sat next to Amy, he would be tormented all year long, but if he sat in front of the kid named Dagger… Sonic shuddered at the thought of what he might do.

After a bit of contemplating, he sat in front of Dagger. Almost immediately, he felt a spit wad on his neck. Great, all I wanted was a spit wad. Sonic thought sarcastically. Looking over at Shadow, he seemed to be laughing. He couldn't have set this up, could he? Sonic felt so confused right now.

After an hour of a long, drawn out speech from Mr. Oobliangoh and numerous tricks from Dagger, including confetti raining down on him at one point, the bell finally rang, dismissing the class. The first thing Sonic did was find Shadow after class. "Alright, you set that up, didn't ya?" Sonic began.

"What? The confetti or the "Kick My Ass" sign on your back?" Shadow said as he walked to his next class. "The sign was totally my joke," He carried on, oblivious to Sonic as he tried to reach the sign on his back. He laughed as he walked into his next class, science.

"Damn you, Shadow!" Sonic shouted after him. He sighed. He still hadn't gotten used to Shadow.

He had met him over 5 years ago when they were on summer break. Even then, he was still a jerk. Sonic had been racing along with the wind when Shadow streaked up to him. It would have been fun actually racing with someone if it wasn't for what happened next. All Sonic knew was that one moment, he was running, and the next, he was falling. He just knew that Shadow was responsible for him tripping. Instead of getting mad though, he felt it would be a good challenge for him to rival this cheater.

Sonic walked the rest of the way to math. The rest of the day was pretty quiet until after school. He was walking home when he heard a shout. Oh no! Who was that? Sonic thought as he raced to the sound.

When he got there, he saw an icy blue Mobian cat. She reminded Sonic of someone, but he wasn't sure who. She was surrounded by 3 giant Mobians. The first was snowy white husky. She was growling at the little cat that stared defiantly back. The second was obviously the leader. He was a lavender gorilla. He was grinning wickedly as though he enjoyed this sort of thing. The third was an albino chameleon. He was the smallest of the trio, yet there was a curious and deadly air about him. Before Sonic could react, the leader aimed a deadly blow at the cat's face. She dodged it with ease.

Now the husky decided to join in the brawl. The little cat continued to dodge every blow thrown by the duo. As Sonic watched this unique display of grace, he never noticed that the albino chameleon had disappeared.

This went on for a while until an invisible force seemed to grab the little she-cat. Holding her was none other than that albino chameleon. The small cat gave a grin, and then the trio froze, literally. The little cat slipped free from their grasp and walked off as though nothing had happened. Sonic now knew who this cat reminded him of. Blaze! How could he not have noticed!

Sonic ran up to her. She turned around so fast that it stopped Sonic in his tracks. "What do you want?" She asked her voice cold.

Sonic replied, "That was awesome! They were just going at you, and you were just dodging everything! What's your name by the way?" She just looked at him like he was crazy and stalked off.

Over her shoulder, she called, "My name is Cage! Now leave me alone!" Sonic shrugged off her coldness to him and raced home.

When he got home, he was shocked. His house had been robbed of everything. Discarded items lay about. The only thing Sonic had to identify the thief was a note. It said: Thanks! See you at school! It was signed off simply The Thief.
