Hello my reviewers and welcome to the ninth chapter of Varsity Blues. This chapter will have Sonic and the Spartans advancing four games after their first win. The school dance is also coming up after the fifth game and Sonic asked to the dance by two ladies. Who will Sonic choose to go to the dance? That's enough of a summary, let's get on with the story!
Chapter Nine: Sonic's Crazy Day
Ever since the first game, Sonic has taken over as the starting quarterback for the Spartans and they have been riding a three game winning streak. The Spartans have outscored their opponents by 34 points and Sonic has lead the district in all passing categories. Shadow and the others have also dominated in their respective positions as well. It was now the fifth game of the season and the Spartans were down by a score against the visiting Wildcats late in the fourth quarter.
"Okay Sonic. We have enough time to at least send this game into overtime. We the defense to get the ball back." Coach Hardhead said to his new starting quarterback. It was fourth down and the Wildcats were punting the ball to run out the game clock and the Spartans had only one timeout left. Coach Hardhead has to use his final timeout to give his offense a chance to tie the game.
"Those freaking assholes are punting. If we don't block this punt, we're screwed." Sonic said pacing the sidelines.
"Have faith Sonic." Shadow said to the blue hedgehog. Tails, Carson, and Hugo were on the blocking team with a chance to block the game.
"How the hell are we going to block this punt?" Tails whispered to his two teammates. Carson was about to answer until Hugo spoke up to his two friends.
"I got this shit." Hugo whispered. Carson and Tails had no complaints and went into their positions to stop the play. Hugo got into his stance and as soon as the punt holder said hut, Hugo charged at the linemen. Hugo bone rushed through the linemen with Tails following by him. Two guards hit Hugo hard, but that gave enough time for Tails to block and for Carson to recover the ball.
"Yes!" Sonic and the offense cheered. Amy and her friends loudly cheered with the student body until they saw Hugo still down on the ground. The other team was off the field as Carson kneeled down to check on his best friend.
"Hugo? Hugo?" Carson asked worriedly. Tails also kneeled down by Hugo and saw the teal and purple hornet moving his hands a little.
"Trainer!" Tails shouted towards the sidelines. The Spartans' trainers quickly got to the field with Sonic, Knuckles, Shadow, and Silver following them. The trainers waved smelling salt at Hugo and the hornet took a big sniff and slowly opened his eyes.
"What the hell happened? Did we block the punt?" Hugo asked drowsily. Sonic and the others chuckled before the blue hedgehog spoke for them.
"Yeah Hugo. We recovered the punt." Sonic said. Hugo gave a drowsy smile before the trainer tested for his vital signs.
"How many fingers am I holding up?" The trainer asked holding up some fingers. Although his vision was a little blurry, Hugo was able to see the trainer's fingers and spoke back.
"Three." Hugo said correctly. The trainer nodded in response before Carson spoke to the trainer.
"We have to make sure." Carson said to the trainer. "Hugo, how many hornets does it take to say the word shit?" Carson asked his best friend.
"Well shit, one." Hugo answered. Sonic and his teammates chuckled in relief as Silver and Knuckles helped the hornet up to his feet.
"He's alright coach." Sonic said to Coach Hardhead. Amy, her friends, and the student body gave the hornet a standing ovation for his effort. Hugo was still feeling a little dizzy as he was taken off the field. Coach Hardhead asked the trainers to run more test on Hugo as Sonic and the offense took the field. The Wildcats were leading the Spartans 38-31 with thirty seconds left in the fourth quarter with the ball on the 50-yard line.
"Okay guys. One timeout left and we have travel 50 yards to the end zone." Sonic said in the huddle.
"Any bright ideas?" Shadow asked.
"Hell yeah. I got one. The Hail Mary!" Silver announced to the offense.
"Oh shit Silver. That's a big risk, especially with those cornerbacks already deflecting all ten of Sonic's pass attempts." Knuckles stated.
"I know, but we have no other choice. Hail Mary on one, ready and break!" Sonic said. The offense got on the line, with each cornerback guarding Knuckles and Silver. Coach Hardhead saw his team's formation and gripped his ball cap tightly.
"Please, let's the Hail Mary be successful." Coach Hardhead. Amy, Nebula, Rouge, Cream, Blaze, and Sticks held hands and prayed to God for the final play. The atmosphere was intense as Sonic began to countdown and the game clock winding down as well.
"Down…Set…Hut!" Sonic yelled. The offensive line allowed one linebacker to charge at the blue hedgehog.
"Oh shit!" Sonic aid dodging the linebacker. Another linebacker charged at Sonic, and the blue hedgehog lost his helmet dodging the sack. Using his famed speed, Sonic scrambled in the pocket and saw Silver being covered one on one.
Whoa!" Sonic said chucking the ball. Silver was running his route and turned just in time to see the ball and make a miraculous catch. The fans cheered as Silver broke two tackles and continued to run towards the end zone. Shadow was running next to Silver and made a huge block to finally get Silver to score the touchdown.
"Yeah!" Sonic shouted grabbing his helmet and running down the field. Knuckles and Shadow celebrated the touchdown with Silver as Coach Hardhead called his final timeout. Sonic looked up at the game clock, which showed ten seconds left in the fourth quarter.
"Alright Sonic, your call." Coach Hardhead said into his headset.
"Don't worry coach, I got this game." Sonic said. He called his offense to the huddle and whispered to them. Coach Hardhead only saw their heads moving and setting up at the goal line.
"I hope you know what you're doing Sonic." Coach Hardhead said to himself. Sonic got up to the line, looked at both Knuckles and Silver, and smirked to himself.
"Down, Set, Hut!" Sonic called. Sonic quickly threw the ball to Knuckles, who threw it back Shadow, and saw Sonic in the end zone. Shadow threw the ball and Sonic caught a diving catch for the successful two-point conversion. Amy and the entire student body cheered in excitement as time expired and the Spartans beat the Wildcats 39-38.
"Hell Yeah!" Sonic cheered as his friends dog-piled their quarterback. After celebrating the win, the Spartans entered their locker room for Coach Hardhead's post game speech.
"That was one hell of a win! Congrats to all of you." Coach Hardhead said. The team applauded for their hard work as Coach Hardhead grabbed the game ball.
"I was going to give this to Sonic, but now the game ball goes to that son of a bitch right there, Hugo "Charlotte" Hornet." Coach Hardhead said tossing the ball to Hugo. The team clapped as Hugo kissed the game ball and thanked his teammates. The team continued to applaud until Coach Hardhead spoke up again.
"Hugo gave us a scare. The trainers ran more test and Hugo has a mild concussion, meaning he will be out for the next game." Coach Hardhead announced.
"Don't worry coach, us Spartans will still kick some ass!" Carson said. The team shouted and cheered as Coach Hardhead wished his players a safe trip home. After showering and changing, Sonic and his friends exited the locker room to go to the parking lot. Amy and her friends were waiting for the boys in the parking lot.
"Hey ladies." Sonic said approaching the girls.
"You guys kicked ass tonight!" Nebula said giving her boyfriend a sweet rewarding kiss. Shadow returned the sweet kiss as Cream, Rouge, Sticks, Blaze, and Amy congratulated boys for an awesome win.
"You guys were great." Cream said to Tails.
"Thank you very much." Tails replied.
"How are you feeling Hugo?" Blaze asked.
"I have a mild concussion. I'll be sitting out the next game." Hugo said to the group.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Sticks said.
"Ah don't worry. Hugo deserves a nice break." Carson said with a smile. Hugo gave his best friend a noogie and smiled; he did need a nice break.
"Alright guys, let go home." Sonic announced. Carson and Hugo made their way to Carson's Ram with Sticks riding with them. Knuckles and Rouge got a ride with Tails and Cream in Tails' Hummer H2. Blaze, Shadow, and Nebula entered Silver's Chevelle and were the first ones to drive out of the parking lot.
"Can't catch me!" Silver shouted.
"Oh shit!" Carson said following the Chevelle out of the parking lot. Sonic and Amy quickly entered Sonic's Camaro and started it up; excited to join in on the fun.
"You're going kiss my ass in the dirt!" Tails laughed driving out of the lot.
"Not on my watch!" Sonic said following them. The four drivers had a fun time racing each other and giving the girls a few spooks along the way. All in all, both the boys and girls had a fun time driving back home and racing each other. Along the way, Sonic held Amy's hand to calm her down from the adrenaline; feeling their love growing every single day.
Monday
It was Monday and the students were coming from a happy weekend with the main focus on the Spartans continuing their winning streak. Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, Shadow, Silver, Carson, and Hugo were coming into the school to see the hallways full of flyers. Two female students just finished hanging up some flyers and moved on to next hallway of Green Hill Zone High.
"So what the hell is up with these flyers?" Knuckles asked.
"I don't know." Tails answered. Sonic grabbed a flyer off the wall and walked back towards his friends; reading the flyer.
"So what does it say Sonic?" Shadow asked.
"The school dance is this Friday. You may bring a date to the dance in order to get inside the gym." Sonic said reading the flyer out loud.
"Huh. I didn't think the annual dance would be this Friday." Silver said nonchalantly.
"So any of you are taking dates?" Hugo asked the boys.
"I'm not sure." Carson said.
"Why not?" Sonic asked the charmeleon.
"It's just I don't know if the girls, besides Nebula, would want to go to the dance with six football players. Girls want nice guys, not jocks." Carson stated. Sonic and the others nodded in agreement; they really thought the girls would say no to them.
"Yeah, but let see what happens today." Sonic said to his friends. Just like usual, the first bell ringed and the boys went to their first class period. Sonic was in his classroom doing his schoolwork when someone handed him a note; Sally's friend Fiona.
"Are you Sonic?" Fiona asked.
"Yes." Sonic answered.
"This note is from Sally." Fiona said before returning back to her classwork. Sonic was surprised by the note and opened it; it said for Sonic to meet with Sally after class. Sonic just gave Fiona a weird look before he crumpled up the note and return to his schoolwork. The second bell ringed and Sonic packed up his things and left the classroom; seeing Sally waiting for him outside.
"Hello Sonic." Sally said in a seductive voice.
"Can I help you?" Sonic asked with a raised eyebrow. Suddenly, Sally slammed Sonic at a locker and started to rub his chest. Sonic was scared and shocked about the sudden events; feeling extremely uncomfortable.
"What the hell?" Sonic asked shocked.
"Please be my date to the dance. I'll treat you like a man." Sally asked still rubbing her hands on his chest.
"What the hell is a matter with you?" Sonic asked now scared.
"I'll treat like a real man, just be my date." Sally said seductively again. Luckily for Sonic, Shadow and Silver saw the crazy events unfold and rescued their blue friend.
"Sally, get off of him." Silver said pulling off Sally. Once she was off, Shadow and Silver quickly left to their next class; leaving Sally huffing in anger again.
"I hate those bastards for taking my Sonic away from me." Sally huffed. She stomped in anger and left to her next class. Sonic sighed in relief as Shadow and Silver took him away from the sex-crazed chipmunk.
"Are you alright?" Shadow asked.
"Never better. Thanks guys." Sonic said.
"That bitch is freaking crazy. I'm just glad we helped you on time." Silver said. Thankfully for Sonic, he didn't see Sally for the rest of the day. It was now lunchtime and Sonic had just finished his meal with Shadow and Silver. The three hedgehogs threw their lunches away and made their out into the courtyard. The trio met up with Knuckles, Tails, Carson, and Hugo at their usual table.
"What's up guys?" Knuckles said as the trio approached.
"We heard what happened. That Sally is one horny bitch." Tails said.
"You said it perfectly little buddy." Sonic said taking a seat next to Tails.
"At least Shadow and Silver saved Sonic." Carson stated while drinking his Monster.
"Again, thanks guys." Sonic said.
"No problem Sonic." Silver replied. The seven boys just sat at their table until Amy and he girls came out into the courtyard. Unknown to Sonic and the boys, Amy and the girls, except Nebula, were very nervous for some reason when they reached the boys. Tails was the first to see the girls acting all nervous and spoke up to his friends.
"Hey guys. Is it me or are the girls acting nervously." Tails announced. Sonic and the others saw the girls as well and were surprised too.
"Huh. I wonder what's eating them?" Hugo said. Amy, Cream, Rouge, Blaze, and Sticks stopped in front of the boys, shaking in slight fear.
"What's wrong girls?" Shadow asked. Amy and the others stayed nervous until Sticks was the first to speak up.
"Carson. I was wondering if you go with me to the dance?" Sticks said blushing. Sonic and the boys just smiled at the girls; so that was what they were all nervous about today.
"Is that why you are all nervous today?" Sonic asked. The girls just nodded and felt their blushes growing in nervousness. Carson just smiled and stand up to talk to Sticks; the nervous feral badger.
"I would love to be your date Sticks." Carson said kissing Sticks' hand. Sticks happily squealed and gave Carson a tight hug; feeling very happy he said yes. Sonic and the boys clapped at the pair before Tails looked over to Cream kicking the dirt.
"Tails…" Cream didn't finish as Tails spoke up.
"You don't have to ask Cream. Of course I'll go to the dance with you." Tails said smiling. Cream happily jumped up and down in complete excitement as Tails said yes. The next one to ask was Blaze, who looked like a nervous wreck as she spoke to Silver.
"Silver, will you go with me to the dance?" Blaze asked. Silver's response was gently lifting Blaze's head and gave her a sweet, loving kiss. Blaze was shocked at first but succumbed to the kiss and happily returned it. The two continued to kiss until air became necessary and slowly broke their kiss. Blaze dreamily opened her eyes to see Silver smiling and finally speaking up.
"I would love to take my new girlfriend to the dance." Silver announced. Blaze rested her head on his chest and sighed dreamily; she was now Silver's girlfriend. Sonic and the gang clapped in happiness for the new couple as Rouge approached Knuckles.
"So what do you say hot stuff?" Rouge asked Knuckles. Knuckles response was pulling a rose from the garden nearby and giving it to Rouge.
"Absolutely. I'm going to show off my hot, sexy date at the dance." Knuckles announced to the nearby crowd. Some of the boys wailed in sadness as Knuckles got one of the hottest girls in school to be his date. Nebula looked over at her boyfriend Shadow and gave him a sexy smirk.
"So do you want to go to the dance Shadow?" Nebula asked kindly.
"You know I can't say no to my girlfriend. Besides, I don't have shit to do on that night anyway. Plus, I wanted to get out of the house." Shadow said giving Nebula a short, sweet kiss. Finally, Sonic looked over at Amy, who rubbed her arm nervously before speaking to the blue hedgehog.
"I heard Sally asked you to the dance. Do you want to go with her to the dance?" Amy asked with a slight hint of sadness. Sonic gently held Amy's hand and smiled at the pink hedgehog; he knew who he wanted to take to the dance.
"No, because I want you to be my date." Sonic said. Amy happily gasped before hugging the blue hedgehog.
"Thank you." Amy said. This is going to be an awesome dance!
