"Leo!" I called into the large Villa. I was staying in my cousins' Leo and Anastasia's mansion. I saw the lion's mane flash behind a cupboard. He looked at me and took a double take.

"Rose!" He called, running to me. He picked me up in his arms and hugged me. Last time he had seen me, he was going off to war and I was dying of the swine flu. Now I'm alive and healthy, and he's out of the war. He set me down. "You've gotten much bigger Rose…and heavier," he smirked. I slapped his arm. "And stronger," he winced and rubbed his arm.

"Well, I'm stuck with you for two months thanks to Dad." I rolled my emerald eyes. Dad had made an invention that made big money. He had to go present it in Hong Kong, making me have to stay with my cousins in Seattle. I missed my good old California, but it looks like I'm staying here for now.

"Is that little Rosebud in the kitchen?" A girl voice called from the back of the house. Anastasia walked out wearing sweatpants, a orange-sherbet color ruffled top, white and yellow converse. Her Aqua hair went to her hips in a high ponytail. Leo had Nicknamed her Rapunzel, and right after that he surprisingly fell in the backyard and broke his arm (Author's Note To Encharda: Is that what you mean with the power?)

"Didn't she grow, Rapunzel?" Anastasia crossed her arms around her chest and rolled her eyes.

"I have to say, you do look like a young woman." I had grown, but I didn't think that much. I hoped everyone else thought of me as older. "I would love to go with you two, but I have to finish the school's decorations." Anastasia walked off. She was 18 and just graduated, but they still kept her to help the school. I never really payed attention to what she said.

"You want something to eat before we leave." I shook my head no, then took in what he said.

"Where are we going," I asked as I bounced an apple between my petite hands. Leo was putting groceries away. He closed the fidge and looked at me.

"To enroll you in school. Today's Tuesday; just because you're in Seattle it doesn't mean you get to stay home." Amy moped and walked to the car with Leo. He had a pretty cool ride; A black Ferrari. We drove to the school, that was surprising to Amy.

It was amazing large, and split up in different colored buildings. She hopped out of the car and stared at it. She felt a strange pull coming frin the school. She shook her head and walked into the school with Leo.

A girl was walking down the hall. She looked at us and smiled madly. She ran over to Leo and made out with him; right in front of me. I gagged and they looked at me. The white hedgehog snarled at me.

"Amy, this is my girlfriend, Mystic." Mystic moved her fingers apathetically. She tugged on one of Leo's red hairs. "Why don't you go in the office, Amy and get signed in." I nodded and walked away, getting one more glance from Mystic. I walked into the office, being greeted by a tall snow lepord.

"You must be Amy Rose, Leo and Anastasia's cousin." I nodded an got handed a slip of paper. I walked to the restroom before I went to class.

I wore my favorite navy leggings with three bows cascading down the sides. I also wore a ruffled white dress shirt with a navy tie, and tan laced heeled boots. I had to admit I was cute. I tied my long hair into a high pony and walked to English class.

The teacher looked over when I walked into the room. He smiled as he looked me up and down. "Hello, Ms. Rose. Do you prefer Amy or Rose." I perfered Rose over Amy for some unknown reason. I sat down next to a rabbit with an orange halter top on and big brown eyes. I heard whispers behind me. I turned around.

There was a girl sitting with a group of other girls; A purple cat and a white bat. The girl had black fur and tan skin. Her long curly hair went to her bustline, and she had a small red rose in her hair. Her brown eyes were crisp circles of darkness. Her eyes glanced over at Amy many times during the rest of class. It made Amy feel like her life was in danger.

Class ended and Amy picked up her things. She heard black boots clomp behind her at her locker. "Hello, Pinky." Amy gasped silently, not being called that since she was little; She hated that nickname. "I'm talking to you." The hedgehog grabbed at her arm, causing a sharp pain in her shoulder. "I don't get a good feeling from you; probably because you're pink," she snarled.

"I don't want to cause trouble," Amy mumbled. The hedgehog put a hand on her hip and snickered.

"Well, in this school, you're gonna be a real troublemaker." Amy wondered what that meant; she was a perfect student and has never missed one day of school. She could never be bad. The hedgehog slammed Amy's locker, making Amy jump. "The name's Skye; don't wear it out." She winked and walked away, leaving Amy trembling.

"She's not the nicest girl," a voice mumbled. It was a new voice, making Amy turn her head to the rabbit she sat next to in class. "My name's Cream, and trust me, she makes your life a living hell." The way the girl said hell made her sound like she barely said the word. "Stay with me and you'll be fine…I mean if you want," the rabbit gave a second thought, blushing madly. Amy chuckled.

"Alright then, Cream. My name's Amy, in case you didn't know." They both smiled. "What's your next class," they both asked at the same time. "Acting and Improve." The laughed and walked to the class.
