Episode 7: First Day, Class One (Sonic)

The weekend quickly passed by for our two heroes. With the conditions of living with Applejack and her family, Sonic and Tails had done work around the Apple family's house. That's not to say it was perfect work. When they were mopping, Sonic kept getting his foot stuck in the bucket and slipping on the wet floor. Tails wounded up dropping some dishes when he was washing them since the Apple family didn't have a dish washer. And lastly, when Tails and Sonic were cleaning the bathroom, Sonic winded up finding one of Applejack's undergarments, which was followed by Applejack giving him a wallop to the head and a scolding from Tails. The weekend was short as the day had arrived, the day Sonic and Tails would officially start high school.

Sonic walked with Tails and Applejack to the building with dread as thoughts of long winded speeches and endless homework plagued his mind. The only positive thought he had was that Tails (Sonics genetic brother in this world) would help him though this. Still, Sonic hoped to find all the chaos emeralds soon so that that his "nightmare" could end.

Tails: Well, this is it Sonic, you ready?

Sonic: ...

Applejack: Why are ya so quiet? Still ashamed of yer, ahem, incident the other day?

Sonic refused to reply as the still lingering dread thoughts rolled around in his head.

Tails: I don't think he WANTS to talk right now. Let's just leave him be.

They finally entered the building and when they did, they were greeted by vice principle Luna. The three stopped in front of her abruptly with Applejack looking very confused.

Applejack: Vice principle, what in sam hills are ya doing out of your office at this hour in the morning?

Lune: I am here to give our two new transfer students the information they need for their first day here. Now run along Miss Applejack while I take care of business.

Applejack: Alright, Ah'll see you two later.

With that, Applejack took off. Luna the reached behind her back pocket and took out two sheets of paper which she handed to the two new students.

Luna: These papers hold all the information you need. Your locker number, the combination for it, your schedule, your classes, your periods, and your home room. Books have been provided and are waiting for you in your lockers. I recommend you get the appropriate book for each class you have next and leave the rest behind till you need to exchange books. Your first class is in fifteen minutes, I hope you have a good day.

With all that information loaded on them, Tails and Sonic looked at their schedules. Sonic wasn't excited to get started but Tails was unfazed.

Tails: It looks like my first class is advanced calculus, how about you Sonic?

Sonic: It's gym. Looks like I'm starting with something I ACTUALLY enjoy.

Tails noticed the annoyance in Sonics tone. He hated it, so he decided to give the situation a positive spin.

Tails: I know that you don't wanna be here Sonic (you made that fact more than obvious) but until we find all the chaos emeralds, we're going to haft to make the best of it. Beside, the emerald locater on my Miles... Phone still works.

Sonic perked up at the news he got.

Sonic: That means we will be out of here in a sonic second! Yes!

During Sonics little celebration, the bell rang, signaling that students only had five minutes till they were late for class. Tails caught this immediately and rushed off in a panic, but not without yelling something at Sonic as he ran.

Tails: I'llcatchyoulaterSonicwe'llsearchfortheemeraldslaterrightnowweneedtogettoclassbeforewearelaaaaaaaaaate.

Sonic, confused by Tails frantic yelling, decided he should get to gym class and dashed off.

A little later he arrived at the gym. "Looks like Knuckles tour wasn't a waste after all." Sonic thought. As he entered the gym, he saw several students all in uniform. Soon Sonic walked to the crowd but was the stopped by who appeared to be the coach. He was a male adult around the age range of 25 and 30. His skin was icy blue, his hair was dark blue, and his eyes were a light green.

"He practically looks like an older me" Sonic thought.

Coach S.: Hey there dude, what's up? I'm coach Soarin. You new here?

Sonic: Y-Y-Yes sir.

Coach S.: What your name kid?

Sonic: I'm Sonic, Sonic Prower.

Coach S.: Nice to meet you. You'd better get to the locker rooms and grab a uniform. No one exercises like that.

Sonic did just that, still a little miffed about being called a kid despite his age. He came out later, wearing a blue and yellow outfit. It had "Wondercolts" written on the front and the back of the shirt which had a lightning design on it and a horse head emblazed on the front.

When he walked over to the rest of the students, he was greeted by a familiar, red headed, face.

Knuckles: Well look at who we have here.

Sonic: Hey Knuckles.

Knuckles: Are you ready for the hardest workout of your life?!

Sonic: You don't need to yell man, it's irritating.

Knuckles: Whoops, Sorry man. Still though, you ready or what?

Sonic: I'm always ready.

With that, Coach Soarin blew his whistle signaling all students to look in his direction. He then told everyone to stand in four rows of six.

Coach S.: Alright, today we're going to start off with stretching exercises before moving into today's lesson. Begin *blows whistle*

With that, the class begins stretching in various ways from the classic toe touches to trying to lift your leg behind your head. Sonic did fairly well but kept failing the leg behind your head stretch, as well as most of the cast. Only two people did it right, Knuckles, and a light blue skinned girl with rainbow hair. Sonic chuckled at the thought of rainbow hair, thinking it made the person look like a clown. After the stretches were done, the coach rallied everyone into two straight lines of twelve.

Coach S.: Alright, now that stretching is out of the way, our plan for today is the mile run.

Almost everyone in the class groaned signaling there dislike for this activity. Only Sonic and the rainbow haired girl hadn't groaned. Later, they were all on the schools track, which surrounded the soccer field Sonic and Tails crashed into a few days ago. Everyone got into a running stance as the coach came next to them. He began to countdown.

Coach S.: Three!

As Sonic stood ready, he noticed he was standing next to the rainbow haired girl. She was giving him a smirk, one only used when athletes wanted to challenge each other.

Coach S.: Two!

Sonic gave her the same smirk, as to show he accepted her challenge. They both narrowed their eyes at each other.

Coach S.: One! Go!

With that, every one took off, with Sonic and the rainbow haired girl already ten feet ahead of everyone else. The rest of the students or the coach couldn't believe what they were seeing. Someone was keeping up with Rainbow Dash, who is the fastest student in the whole school.

As Sonic and Dash kept racing, the lapped the others of the group a few times. Many of the students began muttering to themselves about what was going on. Knuckles thought that Sonic was some kind of alien since he was literally neck in neck with the captain of literally every sports team in school.

As Sonic and Dash neared the finish line, they both pushed themselves to go faster than the other. Soon enough, they crossed the finish line. They both cheered for themselves as both speedsters they believed they won.

Sonic/RD: OH YEAH! I won the race.

They both abruptly stopped there celebration and looked at each other. They talked at the same time.

Sonic/RD: No way! I've beaten you. No, I came in first. Stop copying me!

Soon enough before the fight got out of hand, Coach Soarin intervened in the two's argument before things could escalate.

Coach S.: Whoa, whoa guys. Settle down. It was a tie. You both came in first.

Sonic and Dash looked at each other, then at the coach, both with a confused look.

Dash: We did?

Coach S.: Yes you did, now stop your arguing before I have to send you to the office.

Sonic and Dash looked at each other again, this time with a more friendly look. They then grabbed each other's hands and shook.

Sonic: Hey, good race out there.

Dash: You're not bad yourself. The names Rainbow Dash but just call me Dash. I'm captain of every sport team here at Canterlot High. What's your name?

Sonic: I'm Sonic Prower. I'm the fastest where I'm from.

The two let go of each other's hands.

Dash: Really, well then we're going to have to race again if you say that your that fast.

Sonic: Well I was just holding back because there were other people on the track.

Dash: Same here, but also because you're obviously the new guy.

With that, the two let out a friendly laugh. Then Coach Soarin blew his whistle.

Coach S.: Alright everyone, let's hit the showers.

With that, the class regrouped and headed back into the building. "Maybe this place won't be so bad after all" Sonic thought to himself.
