Me: I do not own anything, Sega and Sonic Team owns it. This is just a story I thought of in my sleep, so just remember, the closet you get to romance is a few blushes and what not…

Chapter 1

Blaze: First Day of School

"Are you sure about this, Blaze?" my best friend, Honey the Cat, asked, standing next to me. I had the wild and crazy idea of us going off into the forest before school this morning, but she didn't seem to crazy about it…

"Yeah I'm sure Honey…I just want to do it. I just want to see what it feels like to do something your not supposed to do for once…" I answered and took a few steps forward. "But if you don't want too, you don't have to come." But she insisted.

She always did that, when something got on my nerves she'd do it so I wouldn't be as mad. But when we got into the forest, she wasn't as tense. I could tell, because she actually had a smile on her face.

"So this is what a forest is like!" she exclaimed, and began running around. "I'm sorry if I was scared at first Blaze. I was just worried we'd get attacked by-"

"Wild wolves. I know Honey, you've said it a million times." I told her, and climbed a tree.

"B-blaze. I don't think you should be up there like that." Honey warned. "You might fall and get hurt!" I scoffed at her. She was always so worried about. Then why did she hang out with me? I never did dare to say it out loud, because it would break her heart, although it was true…

"Honey! Stop being a worrywart. I'm just fine!" I cried, and continued to clime the tree.

"I'm no worrywart! It's just that we don't want your brand new school clothes to get dirty!" She corrected me. I sighed and rolled my eyes.

"Honey, I couldn't care less about these stupid clothes my mom made me were! I don't even want to go to school today!" She did have a point though. My mom would be angry if I came home with dirt all over my clothes. But that didn't mean I wasn't going to have fun. "I'm a cat, I always land on my feet." I told her that obvious fact. Not just because I'm a cat, because I'm very graceful.

"Whatever…Hey Blaze, I'm…I'm heading back it's getting kind of late and being late isn't exactly how I want to start my first day of school." I sighed and jumped down.

"Let's just go and get this over with then." I groaned and walked off. I knew what was going on in her mind. She saw I was angry, and she wanted me to feel better. But I paid no mind when she started calling my name. I didn't feel like hearing her speech about how we could come back later after our homework and all that. I just kept walking and ignored everything she said.

As we neared the school, there was a strange feeling in my stomach.

"Blaze…Are you…scared of the new school year?" she asked me.

'Scared?' I thought. If she meant nervous, than yes. But I wasn't scared.

"Blaze?" I realized I hadn't answered the question, and she really wanted to know.

"No. No I'm not and you shouldn't be either." I said. And left it at that. When I opened the school door, Honey stopped dead in her tracks.

"I can't do it Blaze…I know I'm not the kind of person to be nervous like this and your not the kind of person who takes it but…I'm not going in there."

"Your worrying to much. Let's just go and see what it's like before we decide not to go, alright? And what's that saying you always told me last Summer? Don't knock it till you try it?" And with that, I dragged her into our 5th Grade homeroom class.

I sat next to Honey and we shared a little conversation. The whole class had introduced themselves, and I saw some really interesting people, like that kid named Jet. He was really cool, and he was good in sports. Then there were some regular kids, like the girl Amy. She liked arts and this kid named Sonic, who I really didn't know.

"I like that Knuckles kid." was the simple statement that came out of Honey's mouth. I just looked at her in shock.

'Honey? A crush?' She seemed much to tomboyish to have a crush. But then again, she wasn't the only tomboy here. Yet I didn't have a crush. It was strange how fate worked on us two. Honey was my best friend and although we had much in common, we had so many things that made us different, it didn't balance.

Honey liked girls cloths when I didn't. She liked boy bands when I didn't. Her favorite color is pink when mine is purple. She has a thing for guys who are strong while I don't have a thing for anybody. Whatever I thought was fun yet it was dangerous, Honey thought it could get us killed or even worse, in much trouble. And the biggest thing of all, she has a crush on a boy and I didn't. But anyways, other than all of that happening, it was pretty boring. The teacher, Miss Evince let us talk for the rest of the period so she was pretty cool. I made a new friend named Sonic, who was probably the girl Amy kept drooling over. I also found out Sonic was the coolest kid in town, and had many fan girls. He had a lot to talk about so while Honey made friends with Knuckles and Amy, I talked to him most of the time.

He told me about how he was on the track team for the past few years at this school, how he could hit a baseball so far it would take a month to find, and how he was great in certain subjects but not in others.

"So, what do you think of this place? Did you know, that this school goes up from 3rd all the way to 7th? And that there's a kid that's supposed to be in 4th grade but he's so smart he's a grade below us?" Sonic rambled. I laughed at him and thought for a second.

"I like this place so far, and all the people pretty nice! And I didn't know any of that stuff because I just got here!" I told him. He gave me a smile, and some music began to play from his book bag.

"One moment please." He said, and reached out a cell phone. "Hello? Oh hey Shade! Yeah I'm fine, just meeting a new friend named Blaze, and she's really cool and all!"

It felt really strange that he was already telling his friends about me. He must've been really trustworthy if he could do that and he just met me.

"Sonic!" Amy yelled, and pushed me half way out of my chair. "Who are you talking too?"

"Sorry, I've got to go. Yeah see you at lunch too, Shade." Sonic said, and looked at Amy. "Yes?"

"What did Shade want?" Amy asked.

"Nothing just wanted to say hi!" Sonic said in defense. Truly, I didn't know how he put up with such an annoying and rude yahoo like herself…And I had just heard about the girl.

"Why are you seeing her at lunch?"

"Amy, for the last time, Shade is not my girlfriend, and neither are you! I'm just introducing Blaze and Honey to some of our friends alright?" He said, and I gave her a small wave.

"So are you his girlfriend? Because your sadly mistaken if you think so! I'm his girlfriend which means, he already taken! Got that Bake or whatever your name is?"

"It's Blaze, and get out of my face. You have no right to come up here, knock me out of my chair and invade Sonic's business not to mention his personal space." I said. She glared at me, and the opened her mouth. Thankfully, the bell for first period rang, and I was out of there in a second. But not without Sonic and Honey tagging along with me.

"That was really cool how you stood up to Amy like that in there. Most kids would be to scared to even look her in the eye! But you didn't have to!" Sonic said.

"It wasn't for you. It was for me. She can't just get up in a person's face like that, and think she can just step all over that person. Especially if that person's me." I told him.

"Blaze is a little hard to get to know at first, Sonic. She doesn't really open up to anybody until she fully trusts you." Honey explained.

"It's okay. I think we'll be just fine in the future, without anymore interruptions from Miss Rose." Sonic said. They smiled at me, and I couldn't help but smile back at them. They both gained my trust, and I just met Sonic.

"You know, you should really get some Amy repellant. Maybe that would help." I suggested, and we all laughed.

'Hm. Maybe this year is going to go better than me and Honey thought…And maybe Sonic could even join us, so then we'd have even more fun than with two.' I thought, and I could tell from the look on Honey's face, she was thinking it too.

And she wasn't just interested in Knuckles anymore…
