Chapter seven: too many friends
"People say that the first year of school is eventful, but this is just ridiculous!"
Sonic Tails and Knuckles walked through the halls of Tree hill high, Sonic talking animatedly about the past few months, "first, Julie-Su shows up, then you and Rouge get together, then the whole thing with that soul sucker, or whatever, and now I'm friend of fire, Rouge is friend of earth, Jet's my friend, and you're a king, which suddenly reminds me: we still have to find the Crystal Flower of the mountains… that is what it's call, right?"
"Yep," Knuckles nodded, "what's the clue again?"
"With whom I trust," Rouge came up from behind them, and slipped her hand into Knuckles', "I memorized it, but I still have no clue what it means, it could be anyone she knew."
"True," Julie-Su fell in step with them, "but she only truly trusted a few of them; trust is very important to the kingdoms."
"Hey guys," Jet cut in between Knuckles and Sonic and threw his arms around their necks, "what's we talking about?"
"The Crystal Flowers," Knuckles filled him in.
"Oo, goody," Jet laughed, "I think we have too many friends."
"You can never have too many friends," Sonic said indignantly, "though I don't think we're going to fit through this hallway in our present groping."
"Don't worry," Rouge said, "I have to go this way anyways," She indicated a different hallway, "see you later," she kissed Knuckles' cheek, and walked down the other hall.
"I have to go too," Julie-Su said, "bye."
"Ebony," Tails said quickly.
Julie-Su laughed, "Its evony Tails, with a V."
"I knew that," Tails said sheepishly.
Julie-Su laughed and ran down the hall as the bell rang.
"Well," Jet said, "Back-pedaling to his class, "see you a Vectors or wherever."
"See you," Sonic and Knuckles said in unison.
"JINX!" Sonic yelled happily, "now you owe me a soda.
Knuckles just rolled his eyes, "let's go before we're late."
