In Westopolis lived the ebony Shadow the Hedgehog resting peacefully when his cursed alarm clock rang waking both him and his wife Rouge the Bat up.

"Ugh! Another morning." Shadow groaned seeing his wife giggle.

"Stop complaining. Is this how the Ultimate Lifeform acts when its the beginning of the week?" Rouge asked.

"A morning of cranky bats, hedgehogs, and a hybrid of a hedgehog and bat yes." Shadow answered as Rouge rolled her eyes and kissed his forehead lovingly.

"Well Shadow I'm sorry to make your morning worst, but it's your turn to wake up the kids." Rouge said.

"Why not you?" Shadow groaned pulling the covers over his head.

"You're acting like the kids and yes you do. I can't because my bar drinkers don't like their bartender late like last week." Rouge said as Shadow groaned louder and got out of bed and went a turtle's pace to first bedroom.

The room was decorated like a princess-type theme with boy band posters, a queen sized bed, a computer, and other expensive stuff.

"Crystal wake up." Shadow said shaking the white bat.

"Daddy it's six in the morning. Could I sleep in?" Crystal whined.

"It's your first year in 11th grade and you're going to waste it on beauty sleep?" Shadow asked Crystal finally got up. Crystal was a white bat with Shadow's ruby eyes.

"Fine, but if one of my sisters gets the shower first I'm not going." Crystal spat walking out.

The next room was different from Crystal's completely. It was decorated goth-like with bunch of books, potions, and notebooks on a table and some creep stuff hanging from the ceiling.

"Topaz wake up," Shadow said shaking the black bat as she put the covers over her head and turned making her back face Shadow.

"Five more hours." Topaz muttered.

"Topaz get up! I'm giving you till the count of three or I'll drag you to school in your PJs." Shadow warned as Topaz sat up and got out of bed. Topaz was a black bat with dark red eyes.

"Another failed spell?" Shadow asked.

"I don't want to talk about it." Topaz said as she left the room.

The next room was different from the other two. It was decorated light purple with over 60 torphies, certificates, and awards on three shelves.

"Ruby time to wake up," Shadow said noticing the bed empty, "Ruby?"

"Dad winners are up before the time limit." Ruby muttered walking in the room. Ruby was a red bat with Rouge's aqua eyes.

"Well I don't have to worry about a big brawl this morning then." Shadow said as the two heard screaming in the hall.

"Get out Crystal! I need to go!" Topaz snapped.

"I just got in!" Crystal snapped.

"I'll restate that. Not as big as usual." Shadow said walking out the room into the boys' part of the hall.

In the first room was similar like Topaz's without the books and creepy things hanging from the ceiling and a lot of clothes on the floor.

"Nathan wake up." Shadow said shaking the black and white hedgehog.

"Dad it's six something in the morning. I'm tired." Nathan groaned.

"Just wake up Nathan or I'll force you up." Shadow warned as Nathan groaned and got up. Nathan was a black hedgehog with white stripes and Rouge's aqua eyes.

"Okay I'm up." Nathan said.

"Get ready. I don't know when the girls will stop arguing." Shadow said Nathan left.

In the next room it was exactly the same as Nathan's, but with a basketball on the floor, a basketball hoop, and other sport related stuff.

"Elijah wake up." Shadow ordered shaking the white and red hedgehog.

"Come on dad. It's too early," Elijah groaned as Shadow took the covers off, "Okay I'm up."

"Good." Shadow said as Elijah got up. Elijah was a white hedgehog with red stripes with Shadow's ruby eyes.

"Do I have to go to school?" Elijah whined.

"Yes you do." Shadow said as Elijah groan and left.

In the last room it was decorated like an ordinary 4-year-old's bedroom.

"Midnight, buddy, wake up." Shadow said as the little Shadow look alike yawned and got up.

"Good morning Daddy." Midnight said yawning. Midnight looked exactly like a little replica of Shadow.

"Time to get ready for preschool." Shadow said picking up Midnight.

"Okay." Midnight yawned as the two left the room.

In the kitchen Rouge was making breakfast as Shadow and Midnight came in.

"Morning Mommy." Midnight said as Rouge kissed his forehead.

"Morning baby," Rouge said as Shadow sat him down, "I see you got the kids up without a problem."

"No. The same as every school day." Shadow said as the others came down soon after.

"What happened to your eyes Topaz? Bad spell?" Elijah joked as Topaz narrowed her eyes and telepathically sprayed syrup all over Elijah's face.

"Shut up Elijah!" Topaz snapped.

"Man I just took a shower!" Elijah complained.

"I'm so sorry Elijah. You could always take another." Topaz said sickly innocent.

"Topaz what did I say about doing telekinesis at the kitchen table?" Rouge spat giving Topaz an icy glare.

"Sorry." Topaz said.

"I better go. Here's your lunches." Rouge said handing the five older kids brown paper bags and left.

"You guys better get to school as well." Shadow said as the five older kids left.

"Come on Daddy we gotta go!" Midnight shouted tugging on Shadow's pants leg.

"Coming, coming." Shadow said as he and Midnight left.

Sorry if the first chapter stunk, other chapters will be better. If you like I'll be happy and continue if you don't I'll be sad and still continue anyway. Please review
