Hi everyone, I am starting off with a clean slate! A fresh start! I you have followed you should have known that I ended my unfinished story "The Silver Lining." So, here's the story on why I ended it:

So, a while back I red "It started in the cafeteria" I was like, 'Hey, think ideas amazing', so, after a little while, with our realizing it, I basically copied her. I AM SO SORRY, so, I didn't realize this. After a while, I went on hiatus, and I realized this wasn't finished, so I proceeded to do so. Then I read over this "it started in the cafeteria" and realized, shoot I just copied her. So, I ended it off. I meant for that story to be a practice for another ORIGINAL story. The time is now, welcome to…

Shining Silver, Burning Bright

Yes, this is another Silver story, yes, it's another high school one, but it's different, I SWEAR! I have been writing a rough draft, so this time, I won't run into a writer's block (hopefully)

This is based on real life experiences, stories, and my imagination. I tried to pour my heart in this, I want people to see, "Hey, he has really strong opinions," or something. The title was called this based on "Shining Gold" a song I wrote, the next lyric goes, "Burning bright," you get it now.

So, yes, this is how you (or in this case, Silver), you're potential is yet to be unlocked, early or late, it doesn't matter.

So I give to you:

(once again)

Shining Silver, Burning Bright

"C'mon Silvs! We got a nine hour flight ahead of us!"

I groaned, and stretched out of bed. Sonic, my older brother, was at the door, tapping his foot to the floor.

"Ugh…" I moaned and slammed the door. Today was the day we'd fly across the country, to Chaos Arts School for the Gifted. It combined both middle and high school, and today, I was finally accepted of course, but today, I would start there as a Freshman.

It was sad though, I would miss my room. I took a final look at it. My room had a light brown wall, with several book shelves, and bed with different shades of green stripes. There was matching green bean bag by the bookshelves. It smelled of rosemary, and it felt like home.

As I reminisced over my room, I realized I would need something to do on the plane. I took a big fat one, "Little Women."

"Silver! If you don't get out in five minutes, I will kick your face so hard, it'll look like Oprah Winfrey sat on it!"

Ah… Shadow, he's my other older brother. He and I are adopted.

I dismissed my thoughts, and pulled on some clothes. I decided on some sunglasses, a dark grey T-shirt that said "Living La Vida Loca" across the top chest, and some dark khaki's.

Quickly, I grabbed the book, and rushed out of my room.

"Finally!" The cobalt hedgehog said. Sonic, snarky, sarcastic, Sophomore. He's the jock at my school, and all the girls love him. Today, he was sporting athletic shorts, and a white short-sleeved tee.

"Yeah, Mom want's to see us!" Shadow snarled. Ah… Shadow, the interesting one. He had six quills, like Sonic, but the four on the side were pointed up. He was a coal color, with red streaks, and a white tuft of fur on his chest, like me. That's pure coincidence, though. Shadow, was wearing a muscle shirt, with long black jeans, with a silver chain around the right pocket.

I nodded, and leaped down the stairs, but my brothers reached there first.

See, my brothers are special.

Sonic, is the fastest thing alive, he can run at, get this, supersonic speeds!

Shadow… is different, to say the least. He is the second fastest thing alive, and can use a special rare jewel called a Chaos Emerald, to teleport, and other things.

Unfortunately, a Chaos Emerald hasn't been found in exactly 6 years, 2 months, 3 days, 19 minutes, 9 seconds, and 1 millisecond. AN: Thumbs up for who understands those numbers! First reply with the correct answer gets a shout out. Yes, Shadow keeps track.

At least he still has speed…?

"Oh…" Mom said, sweetly, "My baby boy!"

Mom hugged me tight. Today, she was a wearing a yellow dress with purple flowers that matched her purple quills, and the dress matched the blonde tuft in her hair, too. She smelled like lavender.

Shadow snickered, and Mom chastised him.

Gently, I pushed her away, and Mom smiled with tears in her eyes.

"Mom, we'll be fine… I'll take care of Silver," Sonic assured.

Shadow scratched his ear, "Yes, we will."

Mom smiled, and turned around trying to say something, and she found the words, "Oh, don't forget to take your bipolar pills."

"Yeeeeeees Mom," I groaned.

Sonic and Shadow raced out the door, and it was still dark outside at three in the morning. Though, the airport was only 15 minutes away, but the runway pointed away from us, so the planes were bothersome.

Mom looked at me firmly, "Silver. It was hard getting you in. You may not think you're special like your brothers…"

I shuffled my foot on the floor.

"You are, don't worry. I have a feeling you'll discover what makes you special very soon."

That was the straw that broke the camel's back, for not even close to the first time ever, I cried.

Mom smiled and lifted my head, "I love you, Silver."

"I love you, Mom."

And, with one last motherly embrace, I left my home.

First chapter good? So, if you read my author's note, whoever get's the first correct answer get's a shout out. Also, whoever gives me the first full-fledged review, will indeed get a shootout, as well.

Over and Out
