Hello and welcome to Sing for Me, My Dear! Yea… I'm not the best with titles, summaries… basically any writing which isn't the stories :L
If you are currently following me, and you're all like, "Hey, what about your Auslly and your MyMusic fics, traitor?!", then I'm all like, "Calm your tits, they're on their way. At some point." I apologize for the millionth time, but I am only 15, working on 16. I have schoolwork and the like, so during term time, finding time to write and write well, and this next year, from May – mid July 2014, it is highly likely I will not appear on this website full stop. I'm the lucky year to have all my exams at the end of my summer term this next year so, yea… fun times!
Anyway, I've been reading a lot of Shadamy recently, and even though I'm not sure how good it's going to be, I'm willing to try, because I love this ship soooo much! I'm gonna try and keep Shadow in character as much as possible, because I've found in a lot of fics that he does not act like himself at all :/ Also, disclaimer warning thingy: This will be written as if it was a musical. Lots of songs and stuff, but they won't be out of place, don't worry. You'll find out why soon, my little pretties! Anyway, enough babbling from me, onwards, to the land of FanFictions and happiness!
*P.S. If you would like me to use an OC of yours, PM it to me, please! I might use some, I might not. Depends how the story develops! I need OCs for Sonic and Espio to fall in love with, as well as Charmy maybe a little later on!
*P.P.S This might be extremely cheesy. However, it's what I'm best at writing!
*P.P.P.S There will be links posted next to names sometimes. If you remove the star from the link and go to it, secrets await! (clothing, looks etc.)
*P.P.P.P.S All the characters in this FanFic belong to SEGA, unless otherwise stated!
Enough talking on my part, here's the story! ROLL THE TAPE, AMY!
Amy: Yes, Ma'am! *Rolls tape*
Chapter 1: Making My Way
Running. She ran and ran from… what was it?
…
Who cares, she was running like hell from it, whatever it was! She turned a corner as she heard a voice shout her name:
"Amy!"
It was a dead end. She turned, scared for what was to come. Suddenly, a silhouette appeared. The dark figure shadowed Amy Rose. It turned and began to approach her, as she squealed and backed away.
"Shh, my Rose. I promise I won't harm you." It said calmly, whilst reaching out to caress her cheek. She flinched, but at the same time, didn't dare to move. Her breaths were shaken and her body tensed. "Please, believe me." It said, as it stepped into some light. She recognised his face, but only vaguely. All she knew was that he was friendly, and safe. She relaxed and let him come closer, by wrapping her arms around him. She smiled into the crook of his neck.
"I believe you." she whispered to him. She felt him smile too, and put his arms around her waist. They stayed like that for what seemed like hours upon end, but was only mere minutes. Then he spoke once more. "Hey, Rose?" She looked into his eyes.
"Guess what?" She nuzzled into his chest and smiled again.
"What?"
He lifted her chin and looked into her eyes, deepening the connection between them. Their noses touched, and Amy closed her eyes, wanting to savour the moment forever and she prepared for the sweet words to flow out from his mouth into her ear.
WAKE UP, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL MORNING!
"FUCK!" She pushed the hedgehog away from her. He was hardly moving, except for his face. The rest of his body had seized up against itself. His mouth moved robotically in time with the singing in the music, the rest of the music was coming from who knows where, as it echoed around the alley.
FEEL THE SUN SHINING FOR YOUR EYES! WAKE UP, IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!
She sighed as she realised what was happening. "Seriously? Now of all times?" She said to the robot of a boy standing in front of her, who didn't respond, except to continue with the music. "Fine, geez." She closed her eyes, rubbed them, and the inevitable happened.
She awoke to the sound of the morning radio being blared into her ears. She groaned, rolled over with her face on her pillow and lazily hit her radio alarm clock until the music turned down, which took a while. It continued to narrate the morning musically as she raised herself up from her bright bed and opened her curtains, making her wince from the sudden, bright autumn light.
"Bloody shitting hell." She cursed, and turned to leave, trudging towards the door.
After managing to walk into her bedroom door, fall over the carpet on the landing and then walk into the bathroom door as well, she eventually arrived at the mirror. She did the usual routine, put on her makeup, and left the room with the same, uninterested, sleeping facial expression, as she gracefully stomped to the stairs and practically fell down them, only to get up as if nothing had happened and depart for the cave of food called the Kitchen.
This, ladies and gentlemen, was the adorable Amelia Rose, aged 17. And on a good day, too. OK, so she wasn't exactly a morning person, but usually, after her morning dose of coffee and poptarts, she would become a cute, quirky and fun-loving hedgehog, which was exactly what she transformed into 10 minutes later. Smiling brightly, she ascended the stairs with not so even a hiccup of a mistake and got ready to get dressed for her first day of school. (Outfit: */amy_rose_is_here/set?id=94936643)
Once she was finished, she checked the time, and found she had more than enough time before her bus came for school, so she decided to check herself over again in the mirror. Smiling, she nodded at her reflection in satisfaction and turned on her heel, picked up her rucksack, looped her headphones around her neck, left the room and departed from the house, shouting goodbye to her loving parents, who did the same in return. Once her front door was closed, she placed her headphones over her ears and pressed play on her MPod, letting some random track ring through her ears, and before she knew it, she was singing along quietly.
Making my way downtown, walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound.
She smiled and waved at one of her neighbours, who was doing some early morning mowing at the time, and happily returned the gesture.
Staring blankly ahead, just making my way, making my way through the crowd.
She turned the corner to the bus stop, which was practically empty, except for a single rabbit, who was sitting reading the paper. Amy walked up and sat down on the other side of the bus stop bench, not wanting to disturb the middle aged woman from her reading matter.
And I need you. And I miss you. And now I wonder…
Amy continued to sing absent mindedly to herself, watching the cars go by as if they were shining stars in the sky. However, she didn't notice the rabbit sit up straighter at the sound of her voice, turn to look at the pink hedgehog and watch her intently, leaving the paper resting, folded up, on her lap.
If I could fall, into the sky
Do you think time, would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
If I could just hold you, tonight
The next song began to play into the hedgehog's ears, but even so, she could clearly hear the singular applause from the lone rabbit next to her. Amy lifted off her headphones and looked at the lady, smiling meekly. "Sorry to disturb you, I didn't know how loud I was singing!" The rabbit shook her head.
"No need to apologize, none at all. In fact, that was great, amazing even!" The woman said, smiling cheerfully. Amy felt a blush arise in her cheeks.
"Thank you! But I'm not that great. I'm alright at singing, I guess, but I only do it for fun!" Amy smiled at the rabbit again, but instead of ending the conversation there, the bunny turned to Amy and put her arms on her elbows.
"My dear, I hope you're joking, because if you're not, I won't believe you anyway. You are extremely talented." She continued to talk, as Amy look at her suspiously. The rabbit pulled away from the hedgehog and held out a hand. "I'm Vanilla, head-teacher of The Mobius Academy of the Arts."
And it was at that point that Amy's jaw dropped to the ground. THE HEAD TEACHER of her DREAM SCHOOL was here, TALKING TO HER. On the outside, Amy smiled pleasantly and shook Vanilla's hand. "Amelia Rose, but everyone calls me Amy, for short." Inwardly, she was screaming "HALLE-FUCKING-LUJUAH!" and jumping around like a looney. Anyway, back to reality.
"Amelia Rose, it's lovely to meet you." As she said those words, a double-decker bus began to approach, which Vanilla noticed. Since the bus read "TMAOTA", the abbreviation of the school's name, she got up and held out a hand to stop it. She then turned back to Amy with a smile.
"I would like you to come with me to the academy, my dear. I believe you deserve one of the open scholarships we are offering, but you'll still have to go through all the exams and such to get it. I just don't want your talent to go to waste."
Vanilla looked at the startled hedgehog, and continued with a gentle smile. "I'll alert your school of your absence and inform your parents too when we get there, if you'd like." She held a hand for Amy to come to her. Amy laughed a little and smiled to herself. This felt like her dreams come true! Which made her worry, so she pinched herself, making her squeal a little in pain. After firmly establishing that, yes, she was awake, and yes, her arm did hurt very much, she got up and walked to Vanilla and thanked her for her kind words, but a thought instantly came to mind as they watched the slowly approaching bus.
"Um… Miss?" The bus had almost reached the pair.
"Just call me Vanilla, dear."
"Oh… ok. But Mi- Vanilla, how will I get on? I mean, I don't have the right bus pass, or the change to pay for the fare…" Vanilla smiled down on the cute little hedgehog.
"Don't worry, I've got it covered." And with that, the doors opened and they stepped inside.
It seemed that the driver of the bus, a crocodile that went by the name of Vector, wasn't as terribly strict as every other bus driver in Mobius, and with Vanilla's consent, gladly let the pink hedgehog board the bus.
She was currently sat upstairs on the bus, as the school staff sat downstairs and the students were upstairs. Her headphones covered her ears as some rock song blasted out. She was near the back, so she could see most of the bus. It was about half full, with a variety of people sitting around in front of her.
Near the front, was a cream rabbit and a purple cat, who had stared at Amy as she came upstairs and sat down, and then went on to be in a deep conversation with the blue hedgehog and the orange two-tailed fox in the seats behind them ever since.
Back a few seats were a bee and a purple chameleon, the bee happily chatting whilst the chameleon sat quietly, ignoring the buzzing creature, as he sat with his head resting on his hand, looking out of the window.
There were others, but, they didn't really catch the pink hedgehog's attention that much. She just closed her eyes from that point and immersed herself in her music until she felt the bus stop. She opened her eyes to see where they were, but they obviously weren't at the school yet.
Only one student boarded. A black and red hedgehog, with sharp, malicious, almost blood-thirsty and murderously scary red eyes came up the stairs. He wore dark clothing all over; a leather jacket, a grey top from some rock band and black trousers with studs on. Amy was about to close her eyes again, when his gaze caught her eye. She looked up to see him staring right at her, with an emotionless look on his face.
She looked around for someone who he might be looking at instead of her, but there was no one.
She slowly sunk into her seat and lowered her head, muttering a continuous stream of swear words under her breath, trying to avoid catching his attention any more than she had already, and it seemed to work, because when she looked up again, seconds later, he was no longer there. She sighed a breath of relief, and looked out of the window on her right as the world went by. She hoped not to see the hedgehog again, he looked like a walking nightmare to her, to put it in the nicest way possible.
In the next minutes, she saw the amount of housing dissipate, as the thickness of the nature surrounding the bus increased. For a few minutes, all she could see for miles were trees, until they reached a clearing:
The Academy looked just like she had seen on the website, grand and amazing. It was a large, wide, open clearing, with the rustic building standing firmly in the middle. Flags lined the road with the school's crest, a pair of dramatic masks, with two microphones horizontally underneath, and two paint brushes across the top. She was in awe of the beauty of the area, and was engulfed by it. So much so, that she hardly noticed the bus come to a stop, and almost all of the students clamber off the bus, until someone tapped her on the shoulder.
She turned to see the dark hedgehog standing over her. He said something, but she didn't hear. She removed her headphones and put them looping round her neck again. "Pardon?" she asked politely.
The hedgehog sighed angrily and repeated his words to the ignorant newbie. "I said, you have to get off the bus." She blinked twice, shivered at the sound of his low, dark voice, then looked around. Only just noticing the absence of everyone else, she quickly rose up from her seat, cursed under her breath and ran off of the bus to try and find Vanilla once more, who was waiting for her at the entrance to the bus, smiling warmly, and the head teacher walked her to the school's office to register. The dark hedgehog watched her from the bus window, and then swiftly departed as well. Entering the school's courtyard, he sat at one of the bench placed around and pulled a book out from his bag and began to read, praying to God above that there wouldn't be more stupidity to come in the near future.
Amy had spent most of the glorious morning cooped up inside the Academy's front office, as administration was sorted and her parents were contacted, who gave the all clear, as well as her school.
Sitting in one of the plush seats, Amy sighed contently to herself. She really wasn't dreaming, or hallucinating, or anything! This was actually happening… she really was at The Mobius Academy of the Arts! Well, she wasn't officially attending yet, but she was close to that!
Vanilla had one of the receptionists explain the scholarship entry process. The man was slightly overweight and balding, with a large moustache flying out of his nose. Apparently, according to his name tag, he was called 'Ivo'.
"So, Miss Rose, to apply for the scholarship, you must fill in…" he turned in his chair, rummaged through some files, found a clipboard and a pen and gave her the papers. "… these forms, and since your parents gave consent over the phone for you to apply…" he picked up a stamp and… well, stamped the form where it said 'Parent/Carer Signature'.
"Ok, anything el-"
"You have a three day induction period, where you will attend classes as a normal student. The subjects you will learn will be the four you apply for, along with the mandatory English, Mathematics, General Science and Social Studies. Your subject selection is on page 2."
"Than-"
"You will join a tutor group. The group you join will depend on what you choose subject-wise and your personality, which will depicted by the quiz on page 4. Please answer all the questions truthfully, it's for your own good after all."
"Alri-"
"Page 3 is for you to write about any experience you have with the arts and any specific talents such as being able to play an instrument or the like. I think that's everything. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me, otherwise, proceed."
It look Amy about an hour to fill in the sheets, since they were very detailed, but also a bit strange. As well as that, she tended to lose her attention and end up watching the regular students pass the windows.
Page 2 was difficult, not for any reason except for the fact she had to choose 4 subjects out of the 15 offered, which were:
Drama/Acting - Performing Arts - Modern Dance - Traditional Dance - Classical Band - Rock Band - Music - Music Technology - History of Music - Production of the Arts - Singing - Classical Choir - Acapella (Female/Male) - Acapella (Unisex) - Modern Art - Traditional Art
She couldn't play any instruments except some piano, so that ruled out a few subjects, and she couldn't exactly draw, per say, unless stickmen counted, so that was off of the list as well. History was… yuck. She loved technology and all things electrical, so the production options were high on her list. She was better at singing than acting, but that could be improved. After deliberating with herself of absolutely AGES, she chose:
Performing Arts - Rock Band - Production of the Arts - Singing
Pleased with her options, she moved on. Page 3 she didn't write much for, which she hoped wouldn't lessen her chances of getting in. She hadn't had the chance to perform in public before, since her old school, St. Bradley's, didn't really care about the Arts.
Page 4 was by far the weirdest quiz she had ever partaken in. It started off with normal-enough questions, like "What's your favourite colour?" and "What do you like to do on a day out with your friends?" but slowly and gradually, they became weirder. She thought back to the last few questions. "When was the last time you went to the toilet?", "Why do you think the sky is blue?" and, this question was the strangest, "How many bunnies do you think are in the pineapple?" She tried her best, but in all honesty, she was clueless for half of it.
She handed back the papers to Ivo and went to go sit down again, but he spoke before she could move an inch:
"Any questions?"
There had been a thought stuck in her mind for a while now.
"How many scholarships are there?"
Ivo looked up.
"Only 2."
Amy gulped, and dreaded her next question.
"How many people are applying for them?"
"About… 30."
The pink hedgehog thought she would faint. She knew the school was very popular among those interested in the Arts, but this… was pressurising. Only 2 out of 30 people would get the scholarship. She wasn't that great, and she hardly had any experience! How in the HELL would she get in?!
"Of course, though, they did all of the induction days and exams at the end of the last term, so you won't see any of them around, as the students awarded with the scholarships join us a week after everyone else, for administrative reasons." Ivo bent down so she was face to face with Amy. "You do realise how talented you are, right?" Amy looked at him with a questioning look. "I know I haven't heard or seen you perform before, but Vanilla wouldn't hold up the scholarship process for just anyone you know." He smiled and stood up straighter, whilst Amy thought over what he had said. "Well, I must sort out your results."
She nodded as a thank you to Ivo and sat down again, whilst he processed her results.
After 20 minutes of patient waiting, Ivo left his desk and approached her again, holding many items in his hands.
"The subjects you chose fit perfectly into your timetable, which is here," he handed her a sheet of paper, "and this is your mentor group, since you chose those subjects, and your quiz showed that you were a clumsy, innocent girl with an attitude and a wild imagination."
"Hey!"
He smiled at her obvious match to her personality result. "You filled it in, not me. Anyway, your group is called Marilyn Munroe, like all the other groups, which are named after famous singers, actors and artists alike. The room is 23B, meaning it's the second room from the right, on the third floor in block B. All of the rooms are named as such. Your mentor is Wave, she's a singing teacher, but she's a bit strict. Nevertheless, you'll be alright. Here is you temporary bus pass, so you can to school everyday," he gave her a small card, " And, here are your keys," he said, holding it up.
"One is for your locker, the number of which is engraved on it, and the other is for the room 23B, so you have access to it at all times. As you can see, you also get a free keyring, which reads your name and is decorated as you would like it. Yours is a pink rose that reads Amy underneath." Amy smiled at the picture as she looked at it. "As well as looking pretty, it's also your source of identification." He turned the keyring over to find a picture of herself with her name next to it and a barcode underneath it.
"What's the barcode for?"
"Glad you asked. It's for registration. There are scanners outside of all of the rooms in the school. Before you can enter, even if you have the key, you must scan your barcode to be let it. It's the same for your locker. It's for security, and it helps the staff keep track of you at all times. Try not to lose it and keep it safe." He gave her the keyring then went to leave the room.
"Wait!"
"Yes, Miss Rose?"
"I don't know where I'm going…"
"Hold on a second."
Ivo went behind his desk for a minute, and as he did, Amy began to put her things into her bag, except her timetable, which she looked at for a while. The receptionist tapped on the keyboard, clicked a few times, then-
"Can Sonic the Hedgehog report to the front office immediately?"
There was a gust of wind, and then a blue hedgehog was standing in the middle of the room. He wore blue ripped jeans, a white ripped t shirt and bright red and white shoes. Amy sat there in awe of what had just happened. He turned to her with a cocky smile. "Hey, I'm Sonic! And you are?" he said, holding out a hand.
"Amy, Amy Rose." She took his hand.
"Well, Amy Rose, it's very nice to meet you." He winked, shook her hand, and then pulled her up out of her seat with a jolt, so they were nose to nose. Amy took in a deep breath and released it. She was not good when it came to people invading her personal space, so she politely took back her hand and stepped back a few steps. She smiled at him sheepishly, "Sorry, Sonic, I-I'm not good with-"
"No worries, Amy, just smile. It's not a problem." He replied, giving her a thumbs up. It was in that moment that Ivo returned.
"Ah, good, you're already here Sonic." Sonic nodded to him and saluted teasingly, squeezed a giggle out of Amy.
"Aye, aye, sir!"
"I understand it's halfway through lessons at the moment, but since Amy here is new, would you care to show her around, and then you can go back to your mentor room and wait there until your mentor arrives, since you two are in the same group."
"Sounds good to me!" Sonic smiled at Amy. "You ready to go?" Amy nodded at him and thanked Ivo, but was promptly pulled out of the room by Sonic.
The courtyard was painfully quiet as Sonic and Amy walked through it, much to Sonic's despair, since he wanted to go FAST, but Amy could go much faster, and wouldn't really be able to take anything in if they ran around. Amy wanted to fill the silence, but didn't really know what to say, so she said nothing at all. The silence ended up being broken by Sonic as they walked through some double doors, exiting the courtyard.
"This is the A Block. There's only a few rooms per floor here because they are all performing studios, as Block A is the drama and performance block of the school." He walked up to the nearest studio and put his ear against it, listening for any students to see whether or not they could go in. As he did that, he continued to speak. "The studios are usually left unlocked so students can go in whenever they want, so they can practice when they need to." Amy looked at the doors of the studio, and walked around it's perimeter, but it had no windows.
"Sonic?"
"Yea?"
"Why aren't there any windows?"
Sonic looked away and knocked on the door. After not receiving a response, he picked up his keys, which were attached to his trousers by a chain and scanned the keyring, which was a picture of him winking with a big thumbs up, and read Sonic along the bottom. Amy followed him into the room, only to be pushed out again. "Dude! Get off!"
"Scan your keyring then!" He got off of her and crossed his arms, tapping his foot. After much rummaging, she found the keyring and scanned it, and then Sonic let her go in. "You need to keep that closer reach, I thought I was gonna die of boredom at that rate!" Sonic huffed and walked further into the room. "Here we are!"
The studio was large, but at the same time, not too big. The floor was made of some rubbery plastic and the walls were painted black. There were windows, it seemed, but only on the ceiling. Amy looked up at them to seem leaves hanging over and flower petals dotted on the glass. "To answer your question before, there aren't windows where you can see them, because it lets the performers have some privacy. As much as people like performing here, some of the best are extremely shy."
Amy loved this place already. It seemed like a dream school; loads of stuff had been thought of by the staff when the building was constructed. Sonic and Amy were sitting in the room 23B, as Sonic tapped his fingers impatiently and Amy thought back on the tour.
After leaving the studio and A Block, they went to C Block, missing out B Block, since that was where their room was. C Block the Block for Artistry, and there was no end to the inspiration possible there, with amazing paintings and sketches lining the walls, and the endless greenery shown outside the huge windows lining the sides of the classrooms.
D Block containing all things electronical, with endless amounts of computers, recording booths and production equipment.
E Block was the dancing block, so there were only 3 studios, but they were very big, each with mirrors on two walls and a bar looping around the whole room except near the doors.
F Block was for the Musicians. All of the rooms were soundproofed and there were a few recording booths as well.
G Block was for the remaining, mandatory subjects, so the rooms were quite simple, but at the same time, maintained the high quality show all around.
After all that, they had looped back to B Block, the block for singing. The base floor had 3 large rooms which had brilliant acoustics for voice. The second floor looked like a smaller, simpler version of D Block, with a few recording booths and sound boards. The third floor, the one the two were currently on now, had rooms with a traditional set up, like G Block. Amy looked around the room again and sighed in happiness.
The bell rung, and gradually, students began whizzing past the classroom door, all going to their separate groups. Amy sat up a bit straighter, willing herself to make a good impression on her new classmates, whereas Sonic continued to sit in his slumped position, not really caring.
The first to walk in the room was the same rabbit from the bus this morning. She wore a cute little light purple dress, which stopped just above her knees and flowed nicely. She also wore some cute, light blue flats and a large pendant necklace. Her eyes linked with Amy's and a great smile spread across her face at the sight of the new girl. The bunny walked swiftly towards the hedgehog and spoke. "Hi! I'm Cream! I see you're new here?"
Amy returned the beaming smile, "Yes, I am! I'm Amy Rose!"
Cream went round the desk and slid into the seat next to Amy's. "Nice to meet you, Amy!"
"You too!" Amy grinned and pulled out her timetable, "So, what lessons do you ha-"
Amy was interrupted by the sound of high heels approaching their desk.
"Oh my! Who's your new friend here Cream? Is she as stupid as you?"
Amy looked up to see a brown squirrel in skimpy clothing sneering down at them. Amy also saw Cream curl into herself in self-defence, and this made her new friend very annoyed. With her hands in fists on her desk, she pushed herself up out of her seat, so she was eye to eye with the sluttish furball. "Excuse you! Who gave you permission to talk to Cream like that?"
The girl glared and snarled back at Amy, "Excuse you! I do as I please here, I don't need permission from anyone to do anything, especially not some scraggly bitch like you, so sit your fat ass down."
Amy wanted so badly to tackle that bitch to the ground, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw Sonic stand up and sigh. "Sally, calm down, don't bother the new girl."
Sally smiled a bittersweet grin and spoke in a treacle voice, "Oh, honey, I wasn't doing any harm, I was just asking her name!"
"Her name is Amy Rose. Now, Sally, please go sit down before I have to do something about you." Amy looked past Sally's fat head to see a purple bird, who she guessed was the teacher, Wave, standing at the front of the classroom. Amy sat down, but continued to glare at Sally until the slut sat down next to Sonic. Wave then walked and sat by the desk at the front and began rapidly typing at her keyboard.
"Thank you." She looked to Cream, where the squeaky whisper had come from, and smiled gently.
"No problem Cream, you don't deserve to be spoken to like that anyway. I'm just hoping she's got the message." Cream nodded and smiled, then looked to the front. During the commotion, Amy didn't notice the rest of the group come in. There were only about 8 or 9 of them there, but she didn't mind. Some of them she recognised from the bus journey, like the bee sat near the front, and the two tailed fox who sat on the other side of Sonic. Then there were some, like the red echidna that sat behind Sonic, and-
"Hello! I'm Big! And this is Froggy!"
Amy looked on the other side of Cream, and, indeed, there was Big and a little frog sitting on his desk. She wondered how it was possible for him to be allowed to have a pet with him in school, nonetheless, a frog, but she let it slide. "Hi Big, I'm Amy!"
Big gave her a big smile, and then continued to play with Froggy. Amy looked at Cream questioningly.
"Oh, don't worry about him. He's really nice and a good listener, just a little absent-minded, y'know?" Amy nodded, and went to look at her timetable again.
"So, as I was saying before we were so rudely interrupted, what lessons do you have?"
She looked up at Cream, to find her in a state of dreamland. Amy followed the rabbit eyesight and saw that it hit the back of the orange fox's head. She smiled at the sight and let the rabbit dream for a bit, before nudging her, making Cream shake her head and "wake up".
"So, who's your lover boy over there then?"
"Sorry?" Cream questioned, feigning ignorance. Amy giggled to herself before speaking again.
"It's obvious Cream! You have a total crush on the fox over ther-mmPH!" Cream covered Amy's mouth with one hand and then spoke;
"Amy! Don't talk so loud! He might hear!" Amy giggled into her new friend's hand because of how cute she was when she was shy. She carefully removed Cream's hand before speaking again.
"OK Cream, I'll be quieter, but I still want to know his name!" She looked at Cream expectantly, and Cream looked away silently. "Oh, come on! We're friends aren't we?" Cream looked at Amy and nodded, but stayed silent. "Do you want me to do this the hard way?" Amy smirked at her and raised her eyebrows. The rabbit shook her head violently and Amy felt victorious. "OK, so tell me his name!" Cream started to shake her head, but before she could move away, Amy began to tickle her all over! Cream kept trying to hold in the giggles, but it was becoming more and more difficult by the second for her to keep quiet. "Tell me his name!" Cream continued to try and resist, but eventually gave in by nodding her head. Amy stopped and waited for the rabbit's answer. After catching her breath, she spoke.
"It's Ta-AILS!" Cream cupped her mouth and sunk into her chair, blushing immensely. She had gotten hiccups from the tickling, and that made her hiccup out his name. Amy looked over to the fox, and sure enough, he turned his head around at the sound of his name, but shrugged his shoulders after a while and turned back around to talk to Sonic. Cream hiccupped again and Amy patted her back.
"Sorry, Cream. But he didn't know it was you, he's not looking anymore!"
Slowly, Cream raised herself up from her seat and sighed. "It wasn't your fault, Amy, don't worry!" she said with a small smile, which Amy returned.
"Alright Class! Eyes this way, please!" Everyone swivelled their head to look at Wave at the front. "I'm sure I'm not the first to say this, but welcome back to Moby's! There isn't much to say today, unless anyone has any problems?" She looked around the silent room and nodded her head slightly. "Good. Alright, we have an induction student joining us today, and she'll be with us for the next 3 days, so I hope you all make friends with her." Wave motioned towards Amy, telling her to stand up and introduce herself.
"Hi everyone, I'm Amy Rose." There were individual greetings that came from the room from everyone except Sally the squirrel slut, who was spending her precious time filing her nails, but Amy didn't care about her anyway.
Wave motioned for Amy to sit and then continued speaking. "OK, everyone, from left to right I want you to say your names so Amy can learn them." She pointed at Tails, who was the furthest on the left.
"I'm Miles Prower, but everyone calls me Tails!"
Wave pointed at Sonic. "Well, you know me already, but I'm Sonic the Hedgehog!"
Wave pointed at the echidna. "Knuckles."
Wave pointed at Sally slut-face. "Sally Acorn." The sickly sweet voice made Amy want to vomit all over the girl's too-tight tube top.
Wave pointed at the bee. "Charmy!" She smiled at the bee's enthusiasm.
She pointed at Cream and Big and they said their names, and Amy thought that was everyone, until Wave pointed behind Big. Amy turned to see who it was, but the back of the room wasn't that well lit. That dark voice, the same voice from the bus, spoke up from the shaded corner of the room.
"Shadow."
Amy continued to look at the darkness until those blood red eyes suddenly appeared and stared right into hers, daring her to look for longer, which she just couldn't do, she was scared out of her skin. She quickly twisted her head back to the front in one swift movement as the teacher finished speaking and wished the class a good year. The bell rung out through the room and the students all began to leave, all except Amy. Cream was already standing, and turned to see her friend sat down in total confusion.
"Amy?" Amy looked up.
"Hmm?"
"We've got to go." Amy nodded slowly and got up from her seat, feeling a slight déjà vu from what had happened that same morning on the bus. She hung her backpack on her shoulder and walked out with Cream. She was still holding her timetable and looked at it again. Cream saw it as well and squealed a little. "Oh, Amy, we have Singing and Performing Arts together! But right now…" She looked at her own timetable, "I have History of Music and you have Rock Band. I can take you there if you want, since we're both in F Block, ok?" Amy smiled and was about to follow Cream when she heard a noise behind her.
"Hmph."
She turned around to see Shadow glaring at her. It was then that she noticed she and Cream were standing in the middle of the hallway, and in the way of the dark hedgehog. Amy tried to swiftly move out of the way, but accidently walked right into another pink hedgehog, who glared at her as well. She whimpered out an apology and blushed slightly in embarrassment as both of the angry hedgehogs passed, and Cream took her arm.
"Don't worry about them, Amy. Shadow's like that with everyone and that pink hedgehog was Sonia. She's just as bad as Sally. Probably doesn't help that they're best friends." Cream stuck out her tongue and winked. Amy smiled meekly, a bit more reassured and let Cream lead her to her first real lesson at Moby's!
