Hyper Heroes: Chapter 03: Back to School
- 3rd person's POV -
A month has passed since Tobi became part of the Hyper Heroes' family. It's August 15th and now it's time to go back to school for them. Vector and Big work to gain money and pay everything. Cream and Charmy are both in second grade. Tails is in sixth grade, Storm is in eleventh grade and everybody else is in tenth grade, of course excluding Omega; he stays at home and cleans it; he's basically the maid. The Hyper Heroes know Tobi now and he knows them very well. They now know that Tobi's the leader of the elemental team: Team Arcana…
*Flashback*
"Wait a minute, if you're already the leader of another team, why did you want to be part of this team?" asked Sonic.
"If I tell you, then it wouldn't be fun," answered Tobi sarcastically.
*End flashback*
The Hyper Heroes decided to arrive at school at different hours for anybody to suspect a thing about their stay. Hyper Heroes and Team Arcana, big ones and small ones, go to the same school: Institute Kurnikova.
The uniform for boys is a white shirt with a black sac on it and also a red tie, black pants and black shoes. For girls, the upper part is the same. On the other hand instead of black pants, they wear squared-black skirts with red lines. Also, their footgear is the same, but with white tights.
"Well, guys, I'm ready to go" said the cobalt falcon "Who are the other three that will come with me now?"
"I will" said the childish black hedgehog raising his hand.
"Me too" answered the green hawk.
"And me" answered the azure hedgehog.
"Ok then, let's use the magic barrier" Falco said.
"The what?" Tobi asked in confusion.
"The magic barrier" Falco explained "It's a shield to have another identity; they will see us exactly how we are, but they won't know that we are the Hyper Heroes. If somebody knows that our both identities are the same person then the magic barrier wouldn't work obviously."
"Heheh, I've already told my team that you're the Hyper Heroes," said Tobi rubbing the back of his head "so they already know your both identities."
"No problem," said Falco "if it's your team then it's ok, but we'll still use it; we don't want other people to know us."
"Ok then, use it."
After the hyper ones used the barrier, thee four left the mansion and headed to school. After they arrived at school, they went inside and went to look for their schedules. Starting from 6:30 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. they have classes with only one lunch time of 30 minutes at 10:30 a.m. Each class lasts 55 minutes and 5 minutes between each class to go for their things at their lockers and shift classrooms.
"Alright, who goes first?" asked Falco.
"Sonic!" Tobi answered instantly pointing at Sonic.
"Why me?" Sonic yelled.
"Because I said so!"
"And who are you to tell me what to do?"
Stupid act alert…
"Sonic," Tobi said and then his voice sounded like if he was Darth Vader "I am your father!"
Sonic looked at Tobi with a face of annoyance and sarcastically said "No way, really? Well, I don't care, I won't go first"
"Alright, then Jet goes first!" said Tobi pointing at the green hawk.
Jet shrugged "I've got no problem with it" and then he grabbed a random schedule. He looked at it analyzing it "Hmm, I have English class as my first period" he said.
"Oh! Now it's my turn!" Tobi said joyfully. He grabbed a random schedule and then he saw the first class he had that day. He started to jump joyfully "Yay! I have Math class as my first period! Easy start!" Yes, Tobi may be stupid, but he's very intelligent at Math… who knows why. ._.
"Easy for you, isn't it?" said Sonic "Well, then I go next." He grabbed a random schedule like the other two and looked at it. "Hey, I have History as the first period."
"Then it's my turn" said Falco. After he grabbed the schedule he looked at it and shot a glance of annoyance at it. "Of all, it had to be Science?" he yelled "You've got tolerable classes and I've got Science?"
"Calm down Falco, it isn't that bad" said Tobi.
"For you!" he kept yelling, shoving Tobi lightly with his index finger for each syllable after that last sentence "I hate and suck at science!" The last shove a little harder.
Two girls were watching at their funny discussion. They seem to know Tobi. One of them was a dark blue dragon and had long dark hair; her hair's sustained with a red league, with a long ponytail that reaches her waist and she's got green eyes. The other girl is a white rabbit and she's got sky blue eyes.
"Hey, it's Tobi-kun!" said the dragon. You can easily say that she's a Japanese girl, because of the Japanese suffixes. "And he's with three of the Hyper Heroes."
"Yay! Let's say hello to them!" said the other joyful girl.
They walked towards the four guys. Falco is the same size as the dragon girl, so is Sonic. The rabbit is 2 centimeters smaller than those three, so is Jet. The smallest of them all was Tobi, 2 centimeters smaller than Jet and the rabbit girl.
"Hi, Tobi-kun!" greeted the dragon.
They stopped yelling to each other and they all looked at the same time at the girls. "Huh? Akira! Angie!" greeted Tobi joyfully "Long time no see!"
"Nice to see you again!" the girls answered.
Tobi walked to the girls' side so that the rabbit girl was on his right and the dragon girl was on his left. The three Arcana facing the three Hyper, "Hey guys, these two girls are part of Team Arcana" Tobi said and then pointed at his dragon friend with his left thumb "This is Akira Tatsuki the Dragon. She's an extremely powerful dragon. She is also from Japan and my best female friend."
"Hi!" greeted Akira.
Tobi then pointed at the rabbit girl with his other thumb "And this is Angie Frosty the Rabbit; she uses the ice element."
"Hi!" greeted Angie.
"Nice to meet you!" said Falco "I'm Falco Lombardi, this is Sonic the Hedgehog and he is Jet the Hawk" pointing at each character next to him with his index finger when he mentioned them.
"Hello!" greeted Sonic and Jet in unison.
"So, you're part of Team Arcana, huh?" asked Sonic.
"That's right" answered Akira "I'm the second most powerful member of the team, and Angie-chan is the fourth one."
Angie completed saying "I use the ice power and Akira's a powerful dragon power and also… we're super powerful."
"Heheh, yeah, I doubt that you are a weakling, cutie" said Jet.
"Are you talking to me?" asked Angie pointing at herself.
"Yeah, you" Jet continued "who else would I call cutie?"
Jet knows how to control the situation when it's about girls. He's handsome, kind and always maintains his relationships for a month, mostly because he doesn't find the kind of girl she likes. Our flirting hawk friend walked one step closer to Angie. "So, why are you blushing, eh?" he said.
"Let me try" Angie said shutting her eyes and trying not to see Jet's.
"Jet-san, can you excuse us for a moment?" Akira said grabbing Angie's arm and pulling her lightly to have privacy. Jet only muttered "Sure" while still having that little smirk of his.
Both girls were facing away from the guys. "What is it Akira?" Angie's voice low enough for Akira to hear clearly, but not the boys. They could hear less because they were talking about some other thing.
"That's what I want to know" Akira answered with the same volume "Why don't you talk to him normally?"
"Ok, I'll try."
Sonic appeared in front of them and asked with his eyes joyfully closed "Is there a problem?"
Both girls looked at Sonic and both answered in unison "No, nothing."
"Well, did you already get your schedules?" Tobi asked.
"Yes," answered Akira "my first class is science"
"Finally something good from that class" Falco said with his pupils at the upper corner of his eyes.
"Why?" Akira asked "You hate it?"
"I just can't understand that well, it's too confusing" he answered with his eyes shut, showing anger for that subject.
"Well, I'll help you to understand" Akira said.
"Thanks" answered the now relieved cobalt falcon.
"And what's your first class, Angie?" Jet asked, facing her and looking at her eyes, hoping that the answer was what he wanted.
"English" she answered. Jackpot for Jet! The answer he was hoping made him smirk "What a coincidence, my first class is English too!" Jet exclaimed joyfully then he half-closed his eyes, tilted his head to one side and muttered "I think this is destiny…"
"Heheh…" Angie blushed again.
Tobi pulled Jet's backpack, bringing Jet closer to him. "Um, Jet," he whispered to his ear "you're making Angie nervous"
"What did I do?"
"Just don't do it" Tobi answered "So, has anybody else arrived from Team Arcana?"
Akira thought for a moment and then answered "Dante-kun is also here, but he is doing another thing somewhere else."
"Then I'll go find him and at least say hello" said Tobi.
Tobi started to run through the halls and look for him. Sonic followed him at normal speed "I'll go with you."
Tobi and Sonic went to search for the other Arcana member, Dante, while Falco and Jet stayed with the girls. Akira told Falco that she is a very intelligent girl so he accepted her help. Jet kept flirting with Angie, making her more and more nervous. After a while of search, Tobi and Sonic finally found Dante. He's a green tall wolf with brown eyes. He's taller than Akira by 3 centimeters.
Dante could see from a distance that a black hedgehog was heading his way, accompanied with an azure one. "Tobi?" he asked to himself.
"Hi, Dante!" greeted Tobi "We finally found you. How are you doing?"
"I'm doing normal," answered Dante with not so much joy.
"Why with that mood?" Tobi asked.
"You know… we're back to school" answered Dante.
"Haha, right" Tobi said rubbing the back of his head, "Hey, I want to introduce you to a Hyper Hero; this is Sonic the Hedgehog, a high-ranked member of the Hyper Heroes."
"Hi!" greeted Sonic "So you're Dante Waterier, which element do you control?"
"I can control water" answered Dante.
Sonic's fur shivered from down to up, like a scared little cat. "W-w-w-water?" the blue one stuttered.
"Um, yes; why are you acting like that?" Dante asked looking at Sonic's shivering.
"Excuse him, he's afraid of water" Tobi said teasing Sonic.
"I'm not afraid of it!" Sonic exclaimed. He crossed his arms over his chest and faced away "I just don't like it when it's wet."
Tobi face-slapped himself and said "Sonic, it's water, it's always wet"
"Maybe if we battle some day I would win" Dante presumed.
"In your dreams!" Sonic answered while pointing at the parrot boy with his fist.
Tobi looked around that many students were there. "Calm down you two, we must have a low profile" he said "We must not let each person here knows our real identity."
Many students were arriving, and also the Hyper Heroes. Everybody entered their first class. Some enjoyed things and some didn't.
[Science class]
Akira was explaining something to Falco about science, something that the teacher explained earlier. Falco couldn't understand anything, neither with the teacher's or Akira's explaining. When Akira looked at Falco's face, his pupils were circling all around his eye. "I'm getting dizzy" he said with a dizzied voice.
"I must admit it's difficult," Akira sighed "but you must at least try to understand"
"I try!" cartoonish teardrops were running through Falco's face.
[Meanwhile on the same class]
"I like Science class!" exclaimed a leopard. His fur is black with red leopard stains. He's shorter than Tobi, for about 2 centimeters. He's also got dark eyes.
"Really? Nice" answered Cosmo sweetly. She was next to that guy. "My name is Cosmo the Plant, by the way" she greeted "nice to meet you, Robert Inflame."
"Huh?" the leopard was impressed "How do you know?"
He wouldn't guess that she was part of the Hyper Heroes. Tobi didn't describe Cosmo to Robert. "Because I can see through the people's heart" answered Cosmo kindly "and I can tell if someone is lying or not. I also know that you're the fire element user of Team Arcana. I'm part of the Hyper Heroes, so don't worry that I know your identity…" She giggled a little and said "I also know that you're the second weakest one."
"Hey" Robert said annoyed.
[Math class]
The Math professor was explaining something and at the same time he was writing on the blackboard. He was giving his back to the students.
"This is boring…" moaned the ebony hedgehog. His head and arms were on the desk. Tobi was sitting next to him. He was being distracted because of Shadow's moaning.
"From all the Heroes, why did I have to take Math class with you?" said Tobi rubbing his temples with his gloved index fingers.
Shadow turned his head to look at Tobi. "I think I'm cursed to be with you"
"Yeah, you're the cursed one…" Tobi answered sarcastically.
[Meanwhile on the same class]
"Hey, you're a red echidna; that means you have to be from the Hyper Heroes" said a lion. He's got dark green eyes. His fur is dark-yellow and his mane is red. Also he's as tall as Tobi.
"How do you know?" the red echidna was surprised. Someone arriving out from nowhere telling the group you belong to, that would be suspicious.
"Because Tobi told me" he answered "My name is Carlos Earthen, user of the ground element of Team Arcana"
"Oh, yeah, you're the weakest one!" jeered Knuckles.
"Hey!"
[English class]
The teacher was (apparently) explaining something boring for almost every student there. Jet was getting very bored, like Angie. His left elbow was on the desk and he was supporting his jaw on his left hand. He was facing and looking at the front pretending to put attention. He moved his eyes to look at Angie, who was sitting next to him to his right. He could swear she was looking at him before he looked at her. He turned his head to face her and talk to her directly.
"Do you like this class?" he asked.
"Not much;" Angie answered giving a big yawn "the teacher is too boring."
He faced to the front again and said "We must then focus on this class to understand."
"I can only focus on you" muttered Angie. She tried to make her voice as low as possible for Jet not to hear what she said.
"What did you say?" he asked.
Angie's cheeks turned red, being embarrassed that the flirting hawk heard her. She stuttered "N-n-nothing at all!"
Jet shot another flirting look at her with his pupil on the corner of his eye. His eyes half-closed and his smirk made Angie blush even more. "Are you sure, cutie?" his voice sounded very smooth.
"I-I think so…" said the blushing bunny.
[Meanwhile on the same class]
"Why do we have to take classes of a language we actually talk?" yelled a panda girl. She's got brown eyes, and she's as tall as Akira. Also, she has noticeable feminine eyelashes.
Espio, who was next to her, heard her little yelling. "We are learning how to speak it and write it perfectly with any kind of mistakes" he answered "At least that's what I think."
"Oh well" she gave up. She analyzed the person that answered her, who was sitting in front of her. She smirked a little and said "You're Espio from the Hyper Heroes, right?"
Espio opened his eyes wide and turned around. "SHH! I don't want to be discovered!" he said while having his index finger vertically on his lips.
"Don't worry" she answered "I'm Daisy Electro, electric elemental user of Team Arcana."
"I've heard of you" he said while trying to remember what Tobi told him "You're, if I'm correct, at seventh place."
"Well, yeah, but I'm still powerful!" she answered crossing her arms.
"I'd like to see how powerful you are then" he said.
[French class]
The teacher here, she's a French teacher. Her French accent is very noticeable. She was explaining some grammar rule about her language, but Amy just couldn't pay attention.
"Oh," Amy suspired "where could Sonic be right now?"
"You should pay attention," answered a black cat. She's almost as tall as Dante; 1 cm smaller. Her eyes are dark and thin like a normal cat. "Learning a language isn't easy" she continued.
"But I just can't stop thinking about Sonic" Amy answered "By the way, my name is Amy; Amy Rose."
"My name is Karina Psyche" she answered.
"Karina… Psyche?" she asked trying to remember something "Aren't you part of Team Arcana?"
"You must be part of the Hyper Heroes" she answered, knowing her identity, according what Tobi told her. "Yes, I'm part of Team Arcana."
"Yeah; so, which element do you use?"
"I'm a psychic" she answered "By the way, I don't like language classes, tell me about this Sonic" all her attention was paid on Amy.
[Meanwhile on the same class]
"Hi" greeted a kitsune girl "You must be Blaze." That cute white kitsune with hazel eyes is as tall as Angie.
"Yes, I am" answered Blaze. She didn't recognize the girl at first so she asked "And you are…?"
"My name is Yuki Kamikaze," answered the girl whose name we now known "wind user member of Team Arcana" and also her identity.
"You risk that identity of yours," answered Blaze seriously, almost scolding her "you're lucky that I know of Team Arcana"
"Tobi-kun told us about each one of you" she answered "so I decided to tell you"
"Well, nice to meet you!" answered Blaze "I'm sure we're going to be good friends."
Both girls shook hands and after that Blaze asked "By the way, why do you say those words after each name?"
"Japanese policy"
"Oh, so you're from Japan" Blaze confirmed.
[History class]
At this class, the teacher was giving a small synthesis of everything seen last year. Many were ignoring this, but some were paying attention. Some…
"We are at the same class," said Sonic to his new water user rival "what a coincidence, isn't it?"
"Yeah," answered Dante "I can take advantage and teach you how to not be afraid of water"
"For the last time," Sonic prepared to exclaim "I'm not afraid of water!"
"Mr. Sonic, please keep silent" scolded the teacher.
"Sorry, professor" he answered. Dante couldn't hold his laughter. Fortunately (for Dante) the professor didn't hear, but Sonic was looking at him in annoyance.
[Meanwhile on the same class]
"So, you are the swordsman of Team Arcana," suspected our pacific white hedgehog friend "June Falchion, right?"
"Yes" answered this June. He's a tall guy, as tall as Dante. He's got eyes that are as blue as the sky. He is a penguin, one with a strong body and yellow eyebrows, orange beak and fur like any other penguin. "And you're at third place of the Hyper Heroes" he suspected "Silver the Hedgehog, right?"
"Yes" Silver answered "I like you; you suspect as much as me."
"I must know my opponent before confronting it, don't you think so?"
"Heh, you're right…"
The bell rang after the first class and many students were on many hallways. Some Hyper Heroes met others and also Team Arcana members.
[Falco, Tobi & Shadow]
"So, how was your first class, guys?" asked Falco.
"Terrible!" Tobi yelled "Shadow didn't stop complaining about the class!"
"It's not my fault that I don't like Math" answered the black and red hedgehog.
"You don't like anything…" Falco sighed.
[Yuki & Angie]
"Hi, twinnie!" greeted Yuki to her very close friend Angie.
"Hi, twinnie!" Angie greeted back.
"How was your first class?"
"Um, look at him" Angie said while pointing at Jet by facing him. Jet was talking to Silver, so he didn't notice when Yuki and Angie saw him… or did he?
"What's wrong?" Yuki asked.
"He's was sitting next to me at that class! He's so cool!"
"I think I expected that answer, and you can't talk to him?"
[Silver & Jet]
"Hey, Jet!" greeted Silver to his hawk friend.
"Silver?" Jet answered "What was your first class?"
"History class" answered Silver and then he looked at Angie. Silver knew the green lady-killer hawk flirted with Angie earlier. How? He read Jet's mind. "Why were you flirting with that girl?" he asked.
"She's from Team Arcana and I think she's beautiful, don't you think so?" Jet answered.
"That explains everything coming from you" answered Silver instantly, knowing Jet's usual intentions with girls.
[Knuckles, Carlos, Rouge & Akira]
"I'm starting to hate Math class" Knuckles yelled. He didn't understand much at Math… as he usually doesn't understand many things.
"You're a knucklehead" stated Carlos.
"Hey!" exclaimed Akira, protecting Knuckles' stupidity "Don't talk to him like that!" after that last word, a punch landed on Carlos' head.
"Ow!"
"But he's right" Rouge supported Carlos. Like always, she scoffs Knuckles at any way possible and she's a fan of the "Knuckles Annoying Club" (does this even exist?) and also Sonic shares this like with Rouge.
"Hey! Do you want me to punch you like I did with him?" Akira challenged Rouge.
"Do you wish to fight me?"
"I can take you down if I wish to!"
"Girls, girls, calm down already" Knuckles said, trying to calm down the two burning girls… literally.
[June & Tobi]
"So, Tobi, are you enjoying your new home?" asked June to his closest friend.
"Yeah" Tobi answered with a sigh. "I just don't want you to worry much about me, June, you're like my brother and I'm afraid that my darkness goes wild."
"Don't worry. But to tell the truth, it's different without you around. I miss you a lot."
"Same here" Tobi sighed again, looking down. He raised his head with a cheerful smile and said "But knowing you, you'll find another way to entertain yourself, and also you can visit me anytime!"
"I will little brother" he answered smirking "I will."
[Dante, Daisy & Cosmo]
"I had fun! What about you?" Dante asked to the panda.
"Well, I met a ninja Hyper Hero" answered Daisy.
"I annoyed one, hahahah!" Dante laughed.
"It's not funny to make people angry" said Cosmo.
"Come on, I just joked with Sonic. It's different to joke with someone than making him angry" said Dante.
"Fortunately, he was Sonic, but be careful if you do that to Shadow…"
"How is he? In attitude I mean," asked Daisy.
"Totally serious and he doesn't stand a joke…" answered Cosmo.
[Robert & Espio]
"So, you're from the Hyper Heroes?" Robert suspected. He made his voice sound loudly on purpose, without shouting.
"Shut up! I don't like people to know who I am!" Espio got that crystal clear for Robert, even though, he still insisted. "Hey, everybody!" Robert shouted, "He's-"
A hand on Robert's mouth was placed to interrupt him, followed by hitting a nervous point with Espio's index and middle fingers from his other hand, like a ninja. Robert fell unconscious; fortunately, Espio woke him up after 5 seconds without anybody to notice his faint. "Shut the hell up" Espio warned. Robert nodded a little intimidated.
The bell rang again. The Hyper Heroes and Team Arcana continued to have their classes, until they reached lunch time for a pause. They conversed again, but this time with bigger groups.
"Hey, guys! Can we sit here?" June talked for both Akira and him. Shadow, Tobi and Falco were sitting on a table for 6 people, with only two sides, 3 on one and 3 on the other. Tobi was sitting on one side and Shadow and Falco were in front of him. June and Akira were just behind Tobi when June asked.
"Whatever…" muttered Shadow.
"Wow, you're cold" June expressed himself, making Shadow look at him madly.
"Sure guys, you can sit here" answered Falco "Shadow, behave yourself."
"What if I don't want to?"
Both guys sit with Tobi, with him at the middle. They were conversing, calmly, except for Shadow, until he let out a big moan, fed up with the others' voice.
"Shaaaadoow" Falco scolded.
"Why are you so like that, Shadow?" asked Akira.
"I won't tell you."
"Come on, we'll keep it a secret" Akira said, shoving Shadow's knee a little with her foot.
"Shut up" he groaned "I won't tell you, period."
"Man, you don't have to be like that" Tobi said.
"I can be however I want."
"Shadow!" Falco scolded again "Be nice!"
"Hmm" Shadow faced away.
Falco face slapped himself and shook his head, almost tired of scolding him about his attitude too many times "What am I going to do with you?"
"We're just trying to be nice" Tobi said crossing his arms on his chest.
"Well, I don't want you to be nice with me" Shadow said.
"Why?"
"Because I said so!" Shadow shouted, hitting the table with his fist.
"Shadow!" Falco scolded… again.
"Fine, fine…" Shadow gave up and he laid his arms and head on the table, moving his food so that he had some space.
"Phew, and you live with him?" June asked.
"Fortunately, he's not my roommate" Tobi sighed.
"And unfortunately, he's MY roommate" Falco said.
"That's bad luck" June's commentary made Shadow's ears move pointing at June. After a little while he moved back his ears and fell asleep while the others kept conversing.
Then Yuki arrived, with 4 backpacks. They were the guys'. The backpacks were inside their locked lockers and they were surprised that Yuki had them, except for Shadow, since he wasn't seeing or hearing anything.
"Hey, whose backpacks are these?" Yuki asked lifting the backpacks to show them.
"Hey! They're ours!" said June, Tobi and Falco in unison.
"Oh, really?" Yuki grinned "Then go and get them!" She threw the backpacks towards the door, with the help of her wind, to throw them outside the cafeteria.
"H-hey!" the three guys yelled in unison again and went to look for their backpacks. Yuki looked at Shadow and raised an eyebrow, surprised that the other three's yelling didn't wake him up. While they were gone, Yuki took out a bottle of very hot sauce; it even had a 'danger' sign on in.
"What are you doing?" Akira asked "And how did you get their backpacks?"
"I'll tell you later" Yuki answered "I don't have time right now"
Yuki started to empty the bottle of sauce on the guys' food, except for Shadow's, one third on each. Akira giggled, while looking at Yuki doing her evil work, and taking out a new bottle of not so spicy sauce. Yuki introduced few drops to the guys' drinks and shook them to mix it. "Don't say anything, I'll tell ya later," Yuki said almost giggling to Akira while heading to the row to get her food.
The boys returned with their backpacks and they were heading back to their table; they even picked up Shadow's backpack. They were very prepared to assault Yuki with questions of how the heck she got their backpacks. They saw that she was on the row, so they waited until she returned.
"Do you know why and, or how Yuki got our backpacks?" asked June.
"Nope, I don't" Akira answered followed by a giggle.
Shadow was still asleep and he didn't notice a thing. Tobi was very hungry and took a bite of is chili dog. Just when he felt the spicy reaction, he opened his eyes wide and spit out the food and quickly drank his apple juice. His face was turning red and then he spit out flames shouting, burning his food. After releasing his fire, he kept his tongue out of his mouth. "What the heck happened to my food?" his yelling was barely understandable with his tongue out.
June was having almost the same problem, except that he wasn't exaggerating too much. He was the second to bite his food. He was used to spiciness, besides that he endures a lot of things because of the intense exercise he does… but that wasn't enough to stand the spiciness of Yuki's bottle. At least he didn't spit fire.
Falco saw the reaction of those two and instead of biting his food, he touched it with his tongue. The only touch was enough to feel the burning power of Yuki's sauce. Falco didn't dare to bite his food that day.
Akira giggled to each reaction, without revealing that Yuki was the cause of the spicy food. The lazy hedgehog kept sleeping. What kind of heavy dream is he having? Nobody knows.
Yuki saw Tobi's and June's reaction and she laughed a lot, proud that her little joke worked with Tobi both of them. Also, seeing Falco reject his own food was hilarious. She looked for her twin and she saw she was sitting with Dante, Daisy and Espio. She went to that table and sit next to Angie without asking. Angie was at the middle of one side, having Daisy in front of her. Sitting next to Daisy; Dante and Espio were.
"We thought about it" Espio said.
"About what?" Dante asked looking at Espio with confusion.
"About letting you know where our home is."
"Yay! We can visit Tobi again!" Angie exclaimed closing her eyes joyfully.
"Yeah, exactly" said Espio "Besides, I think you can come and battle us. We'll show you that we're better."
"Hahaha!" Yuki laughed "We're not weak, you know. Like if I'm getting defeated by a pink chameleon, haha!"
"My skin is not pink!" Espio yelled "It's magenta!"
"Yeah, yeah" Yuki laughed.
"You said you wanted to see how strong I was?" Daisy said "Then you'll see me. Just tell us when."
"Okay, I'll ask Falco when. In fact, I think he was going to invite you anyway."
Angie was being more silent that usual; in fact, she's almost never silent. She was playing with her own food with the fork, not depressed, but thoughtful. Yuki saw her unusual attitude and asked "What's wrong, Angie-chan?"
"I don't know," Angie muttered "I think I like Jet."
"Why?"
"He's blue-eyed and he's handsome!" Angie exclaimed "I always wanted a blue-eyed boy!"
"Um, Angie" Espio muttered.
"Yeah?"
"Turn around."
"Wha-?" Angie said while turning around, stopping her speech when seeing a male green figure behind her with a plate of food and his eyes joyfully closed, also with a smirk on his face.
"Can I sit here, cutie?" Jet asked, referring Angie as cutie again. Angie blushed after Jet asked that question.
"Jet! I, uh, sure!" Angie said, half-stuttering keeping that pinky color on her cheeks.
"Thanks" answered Jet. He sat next to Angie.
"So, what were you talking about?" Jet asked, not only to Angie but to the others.
"About letting them come to the Hyper Mansion" answered Espio.
"And Falco accepted?" said Jet "Wow, that was fast."
"They know our secret anyway."
"Well, that means you can visit me, right Angie?" asked Jet flirtingly.
"In fact I'll visit Tobi, not you" answered Angie.
"Hahah, yeah you're right, sorry!" apologized Jet, rubbing the back of his head.
Meanwhile on another table, Amy was sitting with her new friend, Karina and with Sonic. Amy was at the middle of one side and Sonic was next to her, Amy hugging Sonic's arm, and Karina was at the other side of Amy. Blaze and Silver then arrived.
"Hey, guys!" greeted Silver for his friend and himself.
"Hi!" responded the other three.
"Can we sit here?" Blaze asked.
"Sure!" answered Karina.
Silver and Blaze sat on the other side of the table. Silver just said "So, what's up?" to start a conversation "How was your day so far?"
"Nothing, same as ever" Sonic sighed "Like always just here…" Sonic's next words were moaned, looking at Amy with an annoyed expression "…with Amy."
"Yeah!" Amy's grip over Sonic's hand went tighter. Sonic didn't just hate it, that grip was hurting a lot, because Amy was hugging the arm with all her strength. "Amy, knock it off!" Sonic yelled, trying to push away Amy from him, lightly at first. His face was completely showing discomfort of Amy.
"Come on, she likes you" Karina said.
"She scares me!" Sonic pushed Amy with more force, but she, just didn't let him go.
"But you love me!" Amy squealed. Sonic, hearing this was completely fed up with it, and just pushed Amy away much harder and finally got free. Sonic's answer was given after that "No!" and he started to run at sonic speed out of the cafeteria. Fortunately, nobody saw him.
"Awww" Amy moaned, very sad, after all, Sonic ran away from her again. Karina was trying to support her friend, palming her back to come up with a supporting speech. "He'll come to you one day, Amy" she said.
"Please help me, Karina!" Amy begged.
"Uh, um, ok I'll try…"
"Amy, you can't force people to do thing they don't want to!" Blaze said.
"Don't worry, it's ok!" said Karina "I really like her, so I'll help her. We have many things in common."
"Just like me and Blaze!" said Silver "We're both analytic." Silver put his arm around his friend's neck. "Right, Blaze?" he said.
"Yeah, but please, let me go, Silver" demanded Blaze. "Oh come on, you like it when I do this!" Silver answered and pulled Blaze closer, to start brushing her head with his knuckles lightly, only to joke a little, showing a joyful closed-eyes expression. Silver was just joking with her, like he does many times.
"Stop it, Silver!" Blaze said almost giggling.
Now on another table, Wave was looking for someone to sit with.
"Hi, guys!" greeted Wave to her sit friends: Cosmo and Knuckles, sitting with 2 other Arcana members.
"Hi!" answered Cosmo. Wave sat next to Cosmo who was in the middle and Knuckles was next to Cosmo, too. Wave saw 2 Arcana members in front of her without even knowing they were from Team Arcana.
"New company, huh?" Wave said "My name is Wave the Swallow, and you are?"
"My name is Robert and he's Carlos" said Robert pointing at Carlos when he mentioned his name.
"They're the weakest of Team Arcana" Knuckles jeered.
"Hey!" both Arcana members yelled in unison.
"Ha-ha! You're funny!" Wave laughed.
"Really?" Carlos asked "Just like that you know we're funny?"
"No, you're only funny when you get mad" Cosmo jeered.
"Hey!" both Arcana members yelled again.
"Ha-ha! See?"
Then, Rouge came to sit between the two Arcana.
"Hi, sweethearts!" she greeted, in fact, to everyone.
"Hi, Rouge!" greeted Cosmo.
The glamorous bat looked at the two guys at next to her. "So, who are these two lovely guys?" Rouge asked expecting to the two of them blush, but only Robert did a little. The other one likes to be with girls, somewhat like Jet, but he would be with many at the same time, and Jet never cheats to anybody. Carlos smirked a little, both guys still looking at the front.
"My name is Carlos and his name is Robert" Carlos answered for both of them.
Rouge smirked and then, giving a bite to her apple. "Nice to meet you! My name is Rouge, member of the Hyper Heroes, and stronger than that red echidna you have in front of you."
"Don't start, Rouge…" said Knuckles.
"Are you really stronger than Knuckles?" said Carlos "Hah! You've got to be kidding me!"
Rouge detected some challenge there. "You've got that urge to battle?" she said while looking at him out the corner of her eyes. "I can't wait until I face one of you, that's all" Carlos answered, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
"Then you'll face me!" Knuckles said pointing at himself with his thumb. "No way, knucklehead," Rouge answered almost before instantly Knuckles finished that phrase; when he said 'me' she started her speech. "I'm stronger than you so I'll get to face him first"
"Well, that depends on how they challenge us, bat!" Knuckles yelled. Wave face-slapped herself. 'Here they go again' she thought.
After lunch time, they still had four more classes and they were gone. After the classes, it was time to go. Tobi gathered all the Team Arcana members to talk with them with Falco. Falco invited all of them to come to the Hyper Mansion to face them in a battle and see which team is stronger. They accepted that challenge. Everybody was looking forward to it, it seemed. After that, each Arcana member went home.
"Alright guys, see you tomorrow!" Tobi told to his Arcana members, waving his hand.
"Bye! Take care!" every Arcana member said to their leader and they all left. The Hyper Heroes took different ways to go home. Sonic took a different route along with Silver, of course, to avoid Amy.
"Silver, if you were me, what would you do about Amy?" Sonic asked.
"I would give up already" Silver answered. You could slightly notice a jeering laugh on that phrase.
"That's not an option!" Sonic's head size increased while shouting those words to Silver. The white hedgehog couldn't help but to laugh.
"Sonic!" a not far away voice said "Wait for me!"
Sonic turned his head and identified that voice as Amy. "How did she-?" the poor hedgehog was wrapped by Rose's arms, interrupting his doubt. "How lucky of us, Shadow told me that you took this route!" Amy squealed "Now we can go home together."
Sonic couldn't do anything but to lower his eyelids in annoyance and thinking very hard 'I'll kill you Shadow!'
"Ha-ha, so, what are the other options then?" Silver laughed.
"Shut up, Silver!" Sonic yelled.
Meanwhile on another route, Falco and Tobi were conversing about Team Arcana.
"Your team members are very good guys," Falco said "you must feel proud to be their leader."
"I'm not a good leader," Tobi said "but yes, I'm proud to be their leader." He looked up to the sky, thinking about them. "They chose me to be their leader, and as many times I said 'no', they still chose me."
Falco laughed a little. "And why 'Team Arcana'?" he asked.
"The name?" asked Tobi "Do you know the Arcana?"
"Nope" Falco answered.
"Well, me neither" Tobi said, rubbing the back of his head being a little ashamed of not knowing about his own team. "But Akira can explain it you. It doesn't matter how many times she explains that to me; I always forget of it, but I know I'm the Fool Arcana."
Falco chuckled a little, knowing that the pure name was perfectly fit for Tobi. "Hey, don't laugh!" Tobi yelled, but that made Falco laugh more. "Sorry, but it's really funny!" Falco could barely say that phrase, he couldn't hold his laughter, but he stopped sooner than Tobi thought. "By the way, I never asked you; why 'Hyper Heroes'?" Tobi asked.
"Because I use the Hyper and I'm the leader, and the 'Heroes' was added by Sonic" Falco said.
"Oh, that explains everything."
And when they arrived home, Tobi started to think which opponents his teammates should have. Tobi's the most powerful and he fought Falco, though with incomplete power, but on that month he stayed with the Hyper Heroes, he fought Falco more times and they all ended as a tie. Second place against second place and so would be perfect, so he decided the battles, but because of the weakness of one, 3 battles will be shifted.
