YES! After months we finished this!
I procrastinated so long, I... uh... am now procrastinating on the author's note too. AHEM! Anyways, this is our first story for a series of oneshots. We adapted the characters into our own images of personification without going OOC. You will be able to tell when a different person starts writing because I use a lot of what we call the "Stephanie Meyer Technique" where we take one thing and stretch it into lots of detail. That's me. AO, on the other hand, is more short and sweet with TONs of grammar mistakes!
Hey! I'm not good with english!
... In a community of writers, you just disgraced yourself with that one sentence... But ANYWAYS... Uh... Oh yeah! you will especially know when I've started to write not only for the Meyer Technique, but because I will overstress (if that's even possible) Shadow's superior awesomeness.
Yeah... You really like Shadow...anyways I have a few things to say too! First things first sorry for the bad grammar thats the best I can do, second WE DO LIKE SHADMARIA, SILVAZE, AND SONAMY! As the story progresses we will eventually make those pairings come true, but for now this makes the story more interesting!
I almost cried when AO suggested Maria like Silver. I want SHADMARIA!
SORRY but you agree with me that this DOES make the story more interesting. Believe me I'm all in for Shadmaria too! Anyway enough of us talking on with the story! Wait! The disclaimer!
Oh yeah! DISCLAIMER: Although I wish I did (very badly), I do not own Shadow the Hedgehog (or in this case, Shadow the human).
Uh... What about the other characters?! sigh DISCLAIMER (AGAIN): we also do not own sonic or silver or sega in general. and just in case we don't own Stephanie Meyer either...
Or any other Sega characters that we mention! But we do own... uh... the stuff we didn't mention! If you want to know what that is, READ THE STORY!
Woah, Woah, WOAH! we need give the summary first!:
It's Silver's first day of high school and he really hopes that he doesn't stand out OR fit in, but with his clashing brothers, his bipolar disorder, and telekinesis, that's just not gona happen.
ENJOY THE STORY!
BEEP BEEP BEE- Silver used his telekinesis to not only turn off the alarm clock but to also pick it up, move it out to the hallway and throw it down the stairs.
"Shadow!" Silver heard his brother Sonic yell, "Do you want THAT to be your first impression of sch- OW!" An alarm clock just came out of nowhere and hit me in the back of the head!"
Silver heard Shadow snicker, then someone run up the stairs. Shadow walked into the doorway of Silver's room and simply said:
"Get your lazy a** out of bed before I kick you out," Then proceeded to walk out of the room to get his gun. Silver groaned as he got out of bed,
"Oh yeah, today is the first day of school" Silver thought, just as Sonic walked up the stairs.
"Silver! Quickly get up! I don't want you being late for your first day of high school! "Sonic told Silver, "Now where did I put my spandex?" Silver sighed as Sonic left to go get his "way-past-cool" spandexes.
"This is going to be a LONG year." Silver thought to himself.
After he got dressed, Silver walked down the stairs but stopped when he heard Sonic yell, "Shadow, you can't wear that leather jacket! People will think that you're uneducated!"
"Shut up you geek" Silver heard Shadow yell back
"OW!" Sonic yelped. Silver had not known what had just happened and frankly he didn't want to. However, he had no choice but to go to down to the kitchen, for that was where he ate food. Silver slowly walked to the kitchen dreading what he was about see.
"Oh well, it's not my problem if they are arguing- Oh God! I'm starting to think like Shadow!" Silver thought as he walked into the kitchen, and there was Shadow sitting at the kitchen table and there was Sonic holding an ice pack to his eye - which was now black and blue-while struggling to eat his blueberries, half an orange and a glass milk. Shadow ate nothing of course.
(A/N: This is where you start noticing the difference!)
Silver dragged his feet as he groggily made his way over to the pantry to seek out his box of corn flakes."So…" Sonic's high squeak of a voice ripped through the silence like Shadow's old pocket knife. "Am I gonna show my little bro the ladies on the bus or what?" Sonic asked with a failed compilation of seduction in his in his voice. Silver immediately compared him subliminally to a sixth grader trying to sound cool.
"Actually…" Silver strained his imagination for a worthy excuse. "I was gonna ride with… uh… Rick."
"Oh. You never told me about this 'Rick'." Sonic's facial expression was that of a cheerleader who found out her boyfriend met another girl. "Is he new to the neighborhood?"
"Uh, yeah."
"I don't think you should see him anymore. Sounds like a bad influence!"
"Excuse me?" Silver sat up, his white gloves beginning to look teal against his now glowing skin.
"Alright, alright. Let's break up the catfight, girls." Shadow mocked, having just put on his iconic teasing smirk. Silver shot a dirty look toward Sonic.
"I'll just ride with Tails." The nerd muttered despite his previous enthusiasm. The brothers all looked at each other.
"Well?" Shadow asked as he shattered the silence.
"We're going to be late if we don't leave now." Silver stated, pointing out the blindingly obvious.
They all trudged through the hallway with their backpacks. Shadow's a cunning black with his favorite gun, "Lucky", tucked into a compartment that Sonic had sewn. The teen was wearing a black leather jacket with matching leather pants. His black biker gloves screamed, "I ride a motorcycle!" at passersby.
Silver wore a simple cotton shirt of gray under a medium-light blue jacket that he constantly left open. His common blue jeans were predictable, and he dressed freely, not wanting to stand out or blend in. His outfit was painfully average. He was not.
Sonic wore a brown plaid sweater vest under lime green spandex with deep blue shorts. He claimed he was creating a positive message by appearing "cool but well-dressed". Oh, Sonic. Sonic,
Sonic,
Sonic.
Shadow brushed out the door ahead of his younger brothers. He was seventeen, a senior. Sonic was sixteen, a junior, and Silver, a freshman of only fourteen. Despite the age difference, Silver often acted as the elder of the three. Sonic called Tails and caught him just in time as his best friend was leaving the neighborhood. He swung by and picked the geek up. Meanwhile, Silver hauled his backpack full of supplies off to the bus stop.
Shadow made it to school first. He pushed open the yellow double doors of the main entrance and was greeted by the gust of swirling wind it brought with it. It played with his thick black hair as he made his entrance, beckoning to schoolgirls everywhere as he walked by. He seductively flashed his perfectly white teeth every few seconds, capturing the longing gazes of his admirers. He was the school bad boy.
Sonic took his turn at bat as Shadow leaned against a locker to talk to Maria. The gales that the doorway produced were violent and awkward in Sonic's hair and face. He struggled to keep his hair nice and gelled back. It was short but could get messy if he wasn't careful, which, of course, he always was. He tried to flash his teeth, following his older brother's footsteps, but it didn't work and girls glared at him in disgust. His confidence remained unscathed though, and he trudged along heroically for the similar nerds of the school.
Finally, Silver entered. A sigh of relief escaped his lips as he walked up to the school's entrance. He had finally escaped the ogling gazes of girls on the bus. It was just embarrassing. He just couldn't comprehend why Shadow liked that self-conscious form of popularity, but it didn't matter anymore; time to make an entrance. Shadow had explained how important it was for friends and stuff, well, his exact words were "It's, as Sonic would say, 'vital' for you to make a high school start-of-the-year entrance to get yourself some babes, popularity points, friends, and babes. Oh, did I mention babes?" Silver chuckled to himself. How hard could making an entrance be?
He pushed the doors open and his long, shoulder length silver fluff blew back in the heat of the moment. It was as if every girl in the school had turned and gone, "who's that?" He smiled sheepishly at a girl he passed. She seemed to be his age and had golden hair that was about the same length as his. She saw him, froze, and stood there, gaping at him in all his beauty with her mouth wide open. It was a cute scene, until the guy she had been previously talking to turned around. It was Shadow. So that's the famous Maria Robotnik he always talked about.
Crap.
He could hear her say in a sweet soprano voice, "Is that your brother? He's so cute!"
Silver immediately knew this meant trouble. Shadow would be pissed if Maria had a crush on his little brother. Silver was in for a long, bumpy ride. He recoiled as he watched Shadow's black and red hair sweep around in a half second to glare at him. It was a cold, hard baring of his teeth and just screamed "Get. Away."
Realizing he'd just crossed into his brother's territory, Silver turned on his heel in the other direction. It was a relief his locker was a little farther down the hall.
Later…
Shadow and company were just hanging at their lockers, killing time until fourth period, when the loudspeaker suddenly kicked on. "Shadow Rodriguez, report to the principal's office immediately."
Rouge Valentine, the "most popular girl in school" according to herself, giggled at Shadow's unexpected last name. A bad move toward the guy she secretly liked.
"What?" Shadow asked in irritation, "My brothers and I are adopted, okay?" With that, he stomped down the hall. It wasn't a shock to him that he was going to the principal's office. It had been four years since he last made it through the first day without finding trouble. He could tell why his mom preferred Silver over him.
"Hello, Mr. Rodriguez." The principal greeted him with a hint of annoyance as Shadow sat in the chair across from the wide wooden desk.
"It's Shadow."
"Mr. Rodriguez-"
"Shadow"
"Shadow, do you know Ms. Hansel, the freshman English teacher in room 104?"
"Not really."
"Well she couldn't help but notice that you parked your motorcycle in her 'teachers only' reserved parking space."
"You don't know it's mine."
"The license plate says 'CHK MGNET'."
Shadow smirked. "Okay, that's definitely me." He leaned back, put his feet up on the desk, and rested his interlocked hands behind his head. "So, what're you gonna do with me?"
"Well Shadow, since that's the first offense of the year, I'm just going to give you two days of deten-" the principal was suddenly cut off by a faint boom! coming from down the hallway. The principal stood up from his chair and said something in teacher code through his walky-talky. "We're dismissed. Carry on." The principle said to Shadow, as if disappointed.
"Yes!" Shadow pulled a wicked sneer and ran from the office to seek out the unusual sound.
Sure enough, Shadow ran up to Silver and found him in the center of a bunch of unconscious jocks. "What happened?" He asked with a smirk and some pride for his little brother.
"Well, uh…" Silver scratched his head, hand invisible in his fluffy white hair.
FLASHBACK
Knuckles and the other jocks were goofing off in the hallway, rating girls and messing with freshman. Suddenly, Knuckles spotted something he particularly liked. "Hey guys, I bet I can score with that white-haired chick over there!"
"Ha! I bet she'll reject you before you even open your mouth!" One of the jocks said.
"Oh yeah?" Knuckles replies smugly as he makes his way over to the girl facing her locker, "Hey Babe I don't think you know me yet but –" Silver turned around to face Knuckles.
Knuckles realized at that point that he was hitting on a fellow guy. "Oh my God I'm so sorry, I thought you were a GIRL!"
"It's okay," Silver admitted, "It's happened before…"
"Man I'm sorry. Are we cool?"
"Yeah su-"
One of the jocks walked up behind knuckles. "Hey Knuckles, who is this?"
"Uh I don't actually know…" Knuckles responded.
"What's your name New Kid?" The jock asked.
"Silver Rodriguez." Silver replied.
"Wait, you're SHADOW'S BRO?!" The redhead exclaimed.
"Yeah." Silver stated simply.
"I don't see it, Shadow's the ultimate bad boy and you're like a pretty boy!"
"Keep calling me Pretty Boy and you'll soon see it…" Silver dared.
The jock gave a teasing look. "Oh you don't like it? Huh PRETTY BOY? Or should we just call you Girlie Boy?"
"That's it you're dead!" Silver screamed as he began to glow with a neon blue aura. Without hesitation, he slammed every jock into the lockers like a shockwave, except for Knuckles, who he spared. Knuckles just stared and stared. "Um, yeah. I have telekinesis and I'm kinda bipolar…"
Knuckles closed his mouth, took a deep breath, then said "Okay I understand the bipolar but how on Earth did you get telekinesis?"
"That," Silver replied, "Is information I won't share."
"Okay, whatever." Knuckles responded.
"Wait, so you're not freaked out by my telekinesis?"
"You're obviously a freshman here," Knuckles explained, "but let me tell you something. This school is friggin' messed up man, telekinesis is just another thing to add to the long a** list of weird things."
END FLASHBACK
"Jeez, I just wanted to know what happened to the jocks! I didn't want all the background crap. You could've just said 'I used my kicka** power to beat them up." Shadow complained after hearing Silver's painfully long story.
"Well excuse me for trying to share!" Silver whined.
Shadow looked at the ground, then back up at his little brother. "You-" His sentence was cut off by the bell. "See ya, I have to go ditch class now." With that, he turned and started to leave.
"Wait! What about these guys?" Silver asked, motioning to the jocks.
"Eh, just leave 'em, they'll wake up eventually, and if they don't… Well I never did like them anyways."
When Shadow was out of view, Silver took one last look at the jocks, then hurried to music class, wondering why Knuckles didn't help them out in the first place.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
When Silver reached his music class, the teacher complained, "Mr. Rodriguez, I know this is your first day but that's no excuse for being late."
"Sorry," Silver apologized, "But I ran into a situation in the hall."
"What kind of situation?" the teacher asked.
"Uh…" Silver looked around the classroom and spotted a girl holding a pencil. "An emergency pencil sharpening situation."
"Nice try." The teacher responded, "but lucky for you, your brother Sonic gave me a note that said, let's see here…" The teacher brought a crumpled piece of notebook paper out of his pocket. "'My brother Silver is good at singing, but of course not NEARLY as good as me, I think you should let 'him join your chorus, because it would help him get into a good college. I'm sorry that I can't join even though I KNOW that I would look way past cool up on those bleachers, but I can't because my parents told me I would take all the attention away from the other kids, and of course they are right so Silver's the best I got, sorry again. Well gotta juice! ~ Sonic Rodriguez'"
"Yep, that's definitely Sonic." Silver responded to the strange letter, holding his head.
"Yes, well since this is coming from the student who can't sing 'Mary had a Little Lamb'well, even with auto tune, you are going to have to prove yourself. Please sing any song in front of the class.
"And this will get me out of trouble?" Silver asked.
"Indeed." The teacher answered.
"Well, I guess I have no choice then." Silver responded. He took a deep breath and began to sing his favorite song, "Dreams of an Absolution".
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Meanwhile, a certain bad boy we all know was sitting behind the school, on the phone with his mom.
"Yeah, school is fine Mom. Yes, being a senior, I will DEFINITELY tease Sonic. Ow, Mom! Watch the eardrums! Where am I? Uhhhhh…Lunch? Oh, I didn't really notice it was 8:30 A.M.!...Am I ditching? No!...Then what am I doing? Uhhh, there's the bell I gotta go!...Well if you didn't hear the bell you must be going deaf! I dunno, probably from all that YELLING!" Shadow hung up the phone and heard footsteps walking toward him, but realized there was no place to hide. A teacher walks over to him.
"Aha! I knew you were here!"
"Okay, ya cought me!" Shadow laughed, his hands up like a criminal, "Do your worst!"
"Come with me." The teacher ordered, dragging him to the principal's office.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Sonic was listening to the teacher intensely and wrote down a billion notes. "And so the-" The teacher was interrupted by the bell.
"Whew!" All the students said in relief.
"Aaaaaawwwwww! Oh well this will give me a chance to- what does Shadow call it again? Oh yes 'score' with Amy!" Sonic told himself.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Amy was standing in front of her locker talking to Maria. "And yesterday Shadow said 'Outta my way.' To me! EEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKK!"
Maria sighed. "Ugh, why do you like Shadow so much?!"
"What do you mean?" Amy asked, "He's the baddest boy around, it's so hot!"
"That's what I mean!" Maria said, irritated, "There's nothing worse than a bad boy…Although his brother is kinda cute…"
Amy gasped. "You like Silver?"
"I never said th-"
"C'mon we're friends, you can tell me!" Amy said excitedly.
"Okay maybe just a tiny crush…"
"EEK!" Amy squealed, We SO have to go on a double date together! Shadow and me, you and Silver, it will be SO GREAT!" Amy continued to ramble about how amazing Shadow is while Sonic walks over. "And Shadow also-"
"Good morning, Amy!" Sonic enthused.
"Oh, good morning Sonic." Amy responded, already bored.
"So, I was wondering if you'd like oto go to the school basketball game! I have an extra ticket and I was wondering if you would like to go with me!"
"Sorry," Amy replied, "But as the captain of the junior cheerleading squad I have to cheer for them.
"Oh, okay." Sonic replied, then walked away glumly to find Shadow and Silver.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Shadow was being lectured by the principle. AGAIN. "I told you a thousand times," The principle said as he repeated his everyday lecture. "You can't skip class but you don't listen! I'm sorry, Mr. Rodriguez-"
"Shadow." Shadow interrupted.
"Okay, Shadow I'm afraid that I'll have to give you deten-" Suddenly the principle was interrupted by a gigantic boom coming from the gym. "Ugh…We're excused. Go calm your brother down…"
"Yes! Shadow said to himself as he jumped from his seat and ran toward the gym.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Silver was looking at the unconscious jocks when Shadow came in.
"What happened this time? Shadow asked.
"Well…" Silver looked at the ground.
"No, wait. Let me tell the entire thing. I'm assuming you took them out with your telekinesis." Shadow said.
"Fine I won't tell you…" Silver said softly.
Shadow looked through Silver's fresh pile of unconscious jocks. "Oh good, you beat up Luke. I think Maria like him."
Suddenly Sonic walked up to Shadow and Silver and saw the unconscious jocks. "HOLY EGGPLANT WHAT HAPPENED?"
"What?" Silver and Shadow asked at the same time.
"Just tell me!" Sonic shouted.
"Well…" Silver replied, beginning his story.
"I hate you Sonic…" Shadow said as the flashback started.
FLASHBACK
Everyone clapped as Silver finished singing. "That was amazing!" The teacher exclaimed, PLEASE JOIN CHORUS!"
"Uh, I guess I can…" Silver said in his usual gentle voice.
"Wonderful! The teacher said, "Okay class, you are all excused, but Silver, I'll need you to meet me in the gym. There are some forms I need you to fill out and I ran out of the stack I kept in the hallway.
"Okay…" Silver said as he left the classroom.
"Hey Silver, I thought you were really good back there." A girl said.
"Uh thanks, I guess…" He replied.
The girl twirled her hair alluringly. "So, would you like to go out sometime?"
"Uh, no thanks." Silver responded simply.
"I knew you'd say yes to the most popular – wait, what?"
"Sorry," Silver admitted, "But I'm not really interested.
"That's okay," The girl said in reply, "I'll change your mind." She walked away and Silver continued on his way to his next class. The rest of the day went by pretty fast, before he knew it Silver was on his way to the gym room to meet his new Chorus teacher.
"Here you go." The teacher said, handing Silver the forms as he stepped through the open doorway. Silver signed the forms and handed them back to the teacher. "Perfect. Bye Silver!" The teacher said happily as with a wave as he walked past the teen and left. Before Silver could leave behind the music teacher, the same girl he saw earlier walked through the doorway toward him.
"Hey, I thought about what you said earlier and decided to give you a second chance." The girl told him.
"Sorry again, but I told you no!" Silver answered, frustrated. Suddenly a jock walked into the gym with some of his friends.
"Hey is this guy bothering you?" The jock asked.
The girl looked at Silver, and then the jock. "Yes, first he asked me out and when I said no he tried to kiss me!"
"What?!" Silver shouted in disbelief.
The jock looked at him angrily. "So first you make fun of me, and now you're trying to steal my girlfriend?"
Silver stared at him in utter shock. "This is your girlfriend? Wow, you make a perfect match, but I didn't ask her out, it was the other way around and I never tried to kiss her!"
"So now you're calling me a liar! I'm gonna have to teach you a lesson, Pretty Boy!"
"DIE!" Silver screamed, bashing the jocks into the wall again. The girl just screamed and ran away.
END FLASHBACK
"…And that's what happened." Silver finished, looking to his brothers for feedback.
"Are you crazy?" Sonic asked frantically, "This could affect your chances of getting into a good college!" He looked down at his watch. "Oh no! My soap opera is coming on soon! Gotta juice!" Sonic quickly left, leaving Silver and Shadow alone.
"Some girl tried to hit on you? That's my bro!" Shadow said with a snicker, patting his little brother on the back.
"Yeah, but that girl caused me to get bullied again! High school sucks!"
Shadow nodded his head. "Well, you're gonna have to get used to it. Let's go home."
"I gotta clean the blood off the floor. I'll meet you there." Silver replied.
"Whatever." Shadow left the gym for their home. Meanwhile, Silver walked toward a door that had some dark red stains on it, but to his surprise, a pretty girl in a light brown pony tail and a basketball uniform walked out, holding her shiny orange ball. He didn't see her at first and they bumped into each other. The girl dropped her basketball.
"That's alright." The girl responds when Silver bends over to pick up the ball. "Hey wait, are you Silver Rodriguez?"
"Yeah I am," Silver replied, "And you are?"
"Call me Blaze." The girl said, I'm a freshman here.
"So am I." Silver said, "Uh, how do you know me?"
"Well, there's a rumor going around that you're beating people up, and that you're like, pretty or something." She looked at the jocks, then back at Silver. "I see the rumor's true."
"Well, I gotta go to basketball practice, see you around!" Shortly after, the girl ran off.
Silver just stared as Blaze ran away, blushing. He took out his phone and set up a text message to Shadow. He wrote, "mayB high skool wont B so bad after all".
To Be Continued…
Why is Shadow a bad boy? Who were his real parents? Where did he get lucky from? All those questions will be answered in Elurigh High 2: Shadows Past!
