Me- Hello guys! Welcome to my very first story and my very first Sonic story!

Shadow- Goodie…

Tikal- Who's in this one?

Me- Well let's just say…a TikalxShadow.

Tikal- * arches eyebrow * Say what?

Shadow- Kill me now.

Me- * whacks Shadow * Be nice!

Shadow- * rolls eyes * Whatever…

Tikal- Oh well…Black-Onyx Lion does not own Sonic! All rights go to Sega.

Me- And by the way, Tikal may act a bit OOC cuz I've never seen Tikal before and I don't know what her character is like, so forgive me!

Shadow- And enjoy.

Normal POV

It was pretty much a normal day at the Hedgehog household.

Shadow and his step brother, Sonic, have to hurry to the bus so that they get to school on time.

So, you may be wondering why Sonic can't run to school, right? Well, he decided to walk for a change. Interesting, huh?

"Sonic, I wish we could run! The bus stop is two blocks away and Cream woke us up too late." Shadow hissed. (A/N: Cream is their step sister.)

Sonic sighed.

"Come on! You know how we have to run through that muddy dirt road! And also, I'm going on a date with Amy after school, so I can't get my clothes dirty." Sonic whined.

Shadow rolled his eyes.

"Ooooh…Sonic doesn't want to get dirty? That's a surprise." Shadow said sarcastically.

Sonic shot him a death glare.

"What? I want to look good for my girlfriend!" Sonic whined.

Shadow had a fake shocked expression on his face.

"Wow! That's so nice…" Shadow said sarcastically.

Sonic pouted.

"Well, it's not my fault!" he whined as they finally reached the bus stop.

The bus began to drive away.

"Wait!" both of them hollered.

The bus driver stopped and they both got on.

Sonic and Shadow sat down next to Silver.

"Man, you guys need to stop being late!" Silver complained.

"Look, Cream woke us up late and we had to rush. We could've ran to school, but Sonic said that 'he doesn't want to mess up his clothes.'" Shadow mocked what Sonic said.

Sonic growled while Silver laughed.

"Geez, you two are so adorable!" Silver said.

Shadow crossed his arms over his chest.

"Says you." he muttered.

The bus arrived at school.

As we got off the bus, Amy and Blaze ran up towards us.

"Guys, guess what?" Amy asked.

"What is it?" Sonic asked, wrapping his arms securely around her waist.

"There's a new student coming today." Blaze stated.

Shadow groaned.

"Another student? God, and I thought having Cosmo transfer to this school was more than enough." he muttered.

Blaze whacked him upside the head.

"Put the fire out, Shad. Did you eat too much chili peppers?" Blaze asked.

Shadow muttered something in Arabic as everyone laughed.

Shadow's had this serious crush on Blaze in second grade, but Blaze began dating Silver in sixth grade, so Shadow never got a chance to tell her how he felt about her. He eventually got over her.

"So, what's new with you guys?" Tails asked, hopping off his motorcycle.

"Nothing much." Blaze said simply.

"Except for the fact that there's a new student." Amy said.

"Are you trying to say that Cream has finally transferred to this school?" Tails asked, eyes bugging out.

We all sweat dropped.

Tails has been trying to convince his girlfriend to start attending this school, but she still wants to stay at the all girls academy that's in town.

"No, she has not. It's a different student." Silver said.

Tails frowned.

"Then who is it?" he asked.

Sonic shrugged.

"You just have to wait until we get to Social Studies. She has that class with us. Right, Shadow?" Sonic asked.

Shadow seemed to be staring into space, for he woke up out of his trance.

"What did you just say, Sonic?" he asked.

Sonic sighed.

"Never mind…" he muttered.


~ In Social Studies class ~


"Hello class! Today, we have a new student coming from Angel Island. So, welcome Tikal Nanami!" our teacher, Miss Hellosworth, said. (A/N: I made up a random last name for Tikal just because.)

The door opened and a cute light red echidna wearing a light blue over the shoulder top with rhinestone skinny jeans and brown ankle boots walked into the classroom.

Shadow stared at her, a blush appearing on his face.

Man, if beauty could kill, Shadow would've been in heaven by now.

"Is somebody in love?" Sonic whispered from behind Shadow.

Shadow growled.

"Shut up." he hissed between clenched teeth, the blush disappearing.

"Tikal, there's an empty spot next to Shadow. Would you like to sit there?" Miss Hellosworth asked.

"Sure! But, I'd like to know where Shadow sits." Tikal told her.

"Okay. Shadow, please raise your hand." Miss Hellosworth said.

I rose my hand.

Me and Tikal looked at each other as she walked over to me.

She sat down.

"Can I copy down the notes?" she asked as Miss Hellosworth resumed teaching.

I handed her my notes.

"Here." Shadow handed her his notebook.

"But, don't you have anything to write down your notes with?" Tikal asked.

Shadow shrugged.

"I'll just use my mind to copy down the new notes." Shadow said as he began to listen to the teacher.

Tikal giggled.

"What a sweetheart." she thought to herself.

But, Tikal's gonna change her mind once she sees what happens at lunch.


Me- Finally finished!

Shadow- I'm a bit OOC when I'm around Tikal…

Sonic- You're in love with Tikal, silly!

Shadow- Shut up, faker.

Tails- R&R, please! If you do, you get a virtual chocolate bar of your choice! If you don't like chocolate, you can have virtual cookies, as well!

Shadow- Don't we all love chocolate?

Tails- *sighs* Do you have to go back to sixth grade and learn about other people's likes and dislikes?

Shadow- *gawks* What the crap?

Tails- *smirks* I thought so…
