Chapter 6
Do You & Your Friend Wanna Hang Out?
Sonic and Amy have been playing the defensive drills with ease for one week. Their coaches discussed every defense they bring out and each of 'em attacked and executed well. For Coach Vanilla, she may wanna now think about putting Amy on the Varsity squad, but she has to see how she does it offensively. For Coach Chuck, well . . . that's a different story because he's Sonic's uncle and he knows how he plays; he also is thinking about putting Sonic on his Varsity squad, since he's a hard-working player. Same thing for Amy.
As one week of their defensive-drill was over, the girls and boys will all start to do some running and strengthening drills to get their stamina up and legs strong so they can get some extra wind for themselves when needed. This will also not increase their stamina, but their speed and agility while running up and down the court. Sonic and Amy, including the rest of the players, will be exhausted when this continues for one week, but it will be worth it because it teaches them, even if they already know it, to boost your stamina up.
-Girls' Practice Session-
Coach Vanilla told all the players to head outside at Warrior Field, the school's football stadium, to do some running at the stairs.
Each players, JV and Varsity, lined-up at certain areas of the stands to start the drill. Coach Vanilla told the girls they must do this drill for 5 minutes. The players got set, Coach Vanilla blew her whistle including starting the time on his stopwatch, and the players each sprint the stairs.
5 minutes later...
When the drill was complete, the girls stopped and each catching their breaths. some of the players bend down and put their hands on the knees and some put their hands behind their heads.
Coach Vanilla later told the girls the next running drill is they'll run around the track for 11 minutes.
The girls all agreed by not complaining as the girls all lined-up one another. Coach Vanilla set the time of 11 minutes on her stopwatch, telling the girls to get set, blew her whistle including starting the clock, and the players jogged.
11 minutes later...
Each of the girls finished their run as all of them now catching their breaths. After their running drill from outside, the girls all came back in gym to get ready for conditioning after they were outside at Warrior Field, the school's football stadium, at the stands running up and down the stairs as fast as they can. Coach Vanilla let her players get a water break first so she will later tell them what drill they'll do next.
After all the girls came back, they all gathered around Coach Vanilla at center court as the next conditioning-drill they'll do is running up and down the court in their own group; which means JV girls will run first, then Varsity girls will run next. By starting off at the baseline, running up and down the court - baseline to baseline, with time limits of 7 seconds going one baseline to another one time, 12 seconds going up and down two times, 18 seconds going up and down three times, 25 seconds going up and down five times, and 45 seconds going up and down seven times. Will it get the girls tired, yes. But it's worth it, and the girls know that.
The JV girls will go first as Amy and the rest of them lined-up on the baseline as Coach Rosemary put 7 seconds on the game clock. Coach Vanilla told the players to get set in a track-position that made Amy and Mina look at each other and smiled, and Coach Vanilla blew her whistle, the clock ran, and the girls sprinted as fast they can.
Amy and Mina were the first ones to reached the other side of the baseline with 3 seconds left as the rest of the girls reached the baseline after the horn went off. It shows the JV and Varsity players, including Coach Vanilla and Coach Rosemary, that they can run.
Coach Vanilla let them get a quick breather so they will get ready for the next drill.
Running Drills later...
After the JV girls finished their running drill, they went to get a water break. For Amy, she ran faster, including Mina, than most of her teammates; especially when tired. She did get tired, but quickly regain her stamina to continue the drill. It showed everybody in the gym, that she, including Mina, is fast; but not as fast as Sonic or Mina.
The Varsity girls later did their running drill and each of the players finished
After it was over, Coach Vanilla called the girls to come center-court as their practice will be ending. Coach Vanilla sounded off and the girls break as they are now heading to their locker room.
-Boys' Practice Session-
Just like what Coach Vanilla did, Coach Chuck told all the players to head outside at Warrior Field, the school's football stadium, to do some running at the stairs.
Each players, JV and Varsity, lined-up at certain areas of the stands to start the drill. Coach Vanilla told the girls they must do this drill for 5 minutes. The players got set, Coach Vanilla blew her whistle including starting the time on his stopwatch, and the players each sprint the stairs.
5 minutes later...
When the drill was complete, the boys stopped and each catching their breaths. some of the players bend down and put their hands on the knees and some put their hands behind their heads.
Coach Chuck later told the boys the next running drill is they'll run around the track for 11 minutes.
The boys all agreed by not complaining as the guys all lined-up one another. Coach Chuck set the time of 11 minutes on his stopwatch, telling them to get set, blew his whistle including starting the clock, and the players jogged.
11 minutes later...
Each of the boys finished their run as all of them now catching their breaths. After their running drill from outside, they went back to the gym to get ready for conditioning after they were outside at the football stadium at the stands running up and down the stairs as fast as they can.

Will it get the guys tired, yes. But it's worth it, and the boys know that.
The JV boys will go first as Sonic and the rest of them lined-up on the baseline as Coach Locke put 7 seconds on the game clock. Coach Chuck told the players to get set in a track-position that made Sonic and Tails look at each other and smiled, and Coach Chuck blew his whistle, the clock ran, and the boys sprinted as fast they can.
Sonic was the first to reached to the other baseline with 3 seconds left as Tails finished with 2 seconds left to reached the other side of the baseline as the rest of the boys reached the baseline after the horn went off. It shows the JV and Varsity players, including Coach Locke but not Coach Chuck and Tails, that he can run.
Coach Chuck let them get a quick breather so they will get ready for the next drill.
Running Drills later...
After the JV boys finished their running drill, they went to get a water break. For Sonic, he ran faster than most of her teammates; especially when tired. He did get tired, but quickly regain his stamina to continue the drill. It showed everybody in the gym, that he is fast.

After it was over, Coach Chuck called the boys to come center-court as their practice will be ending. Coach Chuck sounded off and the boys break as they are now heading to their locker room.
-Next Day-
The alarm clocks of Sonic and Amy's goes off at 5:30 AM signaling them to wake up. They got up, turn their alarms off, and stretch their arms.
They got out of their beds and did their usual routines of watching TV, use the bathroom and brush their teeth, and pack their basketball stuff as well as their school supplies.
After the two hoopers packed the stuff they need for the day, they went to their closet to pick out a wardrobe for the day. Sonic picked out a blue and white fitted Hollister shirt, black loose-fit jeans, blue hooded-jacket, and black and blue Air Jordan Space Jam XII sneakers. For Amy she picked out a red US Polo T-Shirt, white skinny jeans, jean vest, and red and white Nike Air Max sneakers.
The two hoopers put their clothes on and watched some more television in their room. Next they grabbed their stuff and went to the kitchen and made themselves cereal for breakfast. When they were done, they look at the time as it shows 6:45 AM, signaling them it's time to head to their bus stop. The two each walked out of their house and walked to their assigned bus stop next to a stop sign.
The two hoopers each greeted each other when they arrived at their bus stop.
Amy starts a conversation to Sonic. "So Sonic, how was your practice?" She asks.
"It was alright. We really just ran like the whole practice." He answered.
"We did too." Amy said as she continues, "We first went outside to Warrior Field to run up and down the stairs, then we ran around the track 8 minutes, and lastly we went back to the gym to do some more running - up and down the court. My legs are sorta stiff from yesterday."
"Mines too." He said as he continues, "I like to run, really, but my legs are stiff from yesterday. I had to take a hot bubble-bath after practice to relax my leg muscles."
Amy agreed. For Sonic and Amy so far in their young basketball-lives, Coach Vanilla and Coach Chuck, Sonic's uncle, are the toughest coaches they've had. But they know they're good coaches and they both think they can make them get better to become better basketball players in the future. Which is Sonic and Amy's goal in their future.
Sonic asks Amy. "So Amy, what are you doing this weekend?"
Amy thought for a moment. ". . . I don't know. Usually I go to my friend's house and chill and stuff. Or play basketball a Green Hill Park. But all in all, I don't know."
As previously stated, Amy will either go to Cream's house to chill somewhat or go play ball at Green Hill Park to work on her game even more. When she gets bored, Amy will just pick up her basketball and play to do something. Sonic is like that too, especially when he's bored and has nothing to do but go to Tails' house and chill somewhat.
"Well," said Sonic, "me and my homeboy Tails are gonna go watch a movie at Station Square Cinemas. You and your friend Cream interested?"
Amy looked at him funny. "Are you asking me to go on a date with you?" She asked him.
Sonic kinda blush from Amy's question, but looked at her crazy and laughed. "What. No. If I was gonna ask you for a date, it would've been me and you only. I said that 'cause I figured you don't wanna get bored. That's all. Damn." He said.
Amy laugh of Sonic's answer. She later thought about it. ". . . Well . . . before I say yes, let me text Cream real quick," she said. Amy reached into her left pocket and pulled out her Samsung Galaxy S4 cell phone and text her friend Cream.
-At Cream and Tails' bus stop-
Cream is wearing a smoke gray T-Shirt, jean jacket, sky blue jeans, and grey flats and Tails is wearing a white tank top underneath his grey and blue Nike hoodie, gray baggy jogging pants with pockets, and all black Nike Air Max. They were having a conversation to each other until Cream felt her phone vibrated.
'Hm, it's probably either my mom or Amy,' Cream thought. She reached into her right pocket and pulled out her Android HTC touchscreen smartphone as she got a text message from Amy. It states,
From Amy: Sonic and his friend Tails are going to watch a movie this weekend. i didnt gave him a answer yet because i wanna know r u interested?
Before Cream will text Amy back, she ask Tails, "Mr. Tails. Are you and Sonic going to see a movie this weekend?"
The reason Cream said "Mister (Mr.) Tails" to Tails, is because she is taught from her mom/coach, Coach Vanilla, to always be polite to everyone.
"Yeah?" Tails answered with concerned. "You must got a text from Amy about what you said?" He asks as Cream nodded. "You're interested going?" He asked her, the reason he didn't ask her to come, until now, because he thought he and Sonic are just going by themselves.
"Sure I'll come." Cream answered as she continues, "It'll be nice to hangout with you and your friend Mr. Sonic."
Tails smiled as Cream text back Amy...
-Sonic and Amy's bus-
Sonic and Amy are now on the bus listening to their music from their phones. Amy was currently listening to her favorite artist Fergie of the song titled 'London Bridge', but was cut off when she received a text message from Cream. She figured it was her anyway as she looked at her text message as it reads,
From Cream: Sure i'll come what movie r we seeing?
Amy raised her eyebrow of not knowing what movie they're seeing because Sonic didn't tell her. She first text her back,
Hold on real quick...
As Amy look to her left at Sonic and sees him listening to his favorite artist Rich Kidz of the song titled: 'Caution'. She tap his right shoulder, Sonic felt the touch from his shoulder knowing it was Amy because they're always on the bus first, look to his right at Amy as she asks him.
"Cream text me yes, but what movie are we seeing?"
Sonic thought about it for a moment. ". . . Some . . . action movie that's good."
Amy smirked and shrugged her right shoulder signaling a yes to Sonic; luckily he took it. Amy text Cream back...
-At Cream and Tails' bus stop-
The bus Sonic and Amy ride on, which is bus number 774, is now 5 minutes away of picking up Tails and Cream. Cream felt her phone vibrate from her left pocket. She pulled the phone out from her pocket and sees she got a text message from Amy as it stated,
From Amy: He said sum action movie that's good.
Cream text her back,
Okay.
She put her phone back in her pocket and look at Tails.
"Hey Mr. Tails." She said as Tails got her attention, "What action movie you and Sonic wanna see?"
Just like Sonic, Tails don't know either of what action movie he want to see either. "I don't know," he said.
Then Cream thought of a perfect action movie to see. ". . . Oh I know. How about The Three Musketeers. That movie seems to be entertaining?"
Tails thought about it, and agreed. "Sure I guess." Then smiled.
Their bus 774, the bus Sonic and Amy are on, came to their bus stop as their bus driver open the double-doors to let Cream and Tails in. When they got in the bus, they each sat next to their friends.
Cream looked at Sonic and told him, "Hey Mr. Sonic. Do you wanna see The Three Musketeers?"
Sonic thought about it and smiled. ". . . Sure I guess," he said.
Next Amy ask a question. "Hey are you[Sonic] or Tails are gonna pick us up to go to the movies?"
Sonic answered, "I will. I have a license and my own car."
Amy was relieved from Sonic's answer, but wonders why he doesn't drive his own car to school. "Hey Sonic, how come you don't drive your car to school?"
"'Cause I ride with Coach Chuck, whose my uncle, when our practice is over. So there's no need to drive my car to school. Now If we don't have practice, I'll drive to the school, or when his car is at the shop I use my car for a different reason." He answered as Amy agreed of what he said.
Sonic got his car in October, as well as his license. From what he said, he really didn't need to use his car to drive to the school, unless he needs to, wants to or something else. He knows his uncle works and coaches at Knothole High, so whats the point of using your car to drive to the school if you don't need to?
The bus made more stops along the way as the gang later arrived at their school as they got off and went to the cafeteria eat and chat. Then school bell rings as class is about to start and the four hoopers each went to their assigned classes.
End of Chapter 6
The two next chapter I'm working on now will be Sonic and Amy's date and a full scrimmage of Sonic and Amy of their own practice. To show how good they are offensively as well as the rest of the players both JV and Varsity. The next chapter after the up-comming chapter of Sonic and Amy's scrimmage maybe long or separate for Sonic on one chapter and Amy on the other chapter.
Also this is for you readers out their, if you remember/know Lupe the Wolf from Sonic the Hedgehog SatAM series and Archie Comics, you know who she is. I was thinking to myself that 'I should've made her the girls' Varsity head coach instead of Vanilla'. Because Vanilla in the Sonic series is not hard-nose or anything that I put on for her in this story. Lupe is like that.
So in your opinion, Review me or Private Message(PM) me of what you think. Should I put Lupe as the head coach of the girls or not?
Until then, this is SelfMadeHooper seeing y'all on the next chapter.
