Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Sonic the Hedgehog characters.
(A/N): If you're one of my fans of my other works, then you would have picked up the order how I write and update my chapters. I usual start with the first story and then the next and so on, but I'm just so wound up in this story that I just want to keep writing it. I don't know if it's because I'm starting high school or what, I just do. Sorry to anyone who was waiting for my next chapter of "The Real Faker"
"I can't believe we're going to be late for the game!" Amy exclaimed as she continued to drive to the school.
"It's not my fault that I couldn't find these two!" Arielle said as she pointed to the backseat where Nikki and James were sitting.
"It's not that hard to look outside." Nikki said as she looked outside the window. Spark was driving in front of Amy as they also tried to speed through the streets to get to the game.
"We're going to miss the first kick off!" Spark yelled.
"Calm down! We'll probably just miss the speeches and all the other stuff that no one cares about." Tails said from the backseat.
"You better be right. Knuckles and Shadow will be pissed if we don't make it for the beginning of the game." Sonic said as Spark pulled into the parking lot.
"What the hell took you guys so long!? They're about to start the game!" Midnight exclaimed as everybody got out of their cars.
"Don't worry, we're here now, let's go!" Static said as he walked up to Midnight and tried to calm her down, which he did. They walked into the stadium during the principal's speech. They walked up and sat in the front row to see their two friends play.
"Now let's bring out the California Mobius High Tornadoes!" The principal said as the entire football team busted through a banner that read "Tornadoes #1!" Everybody in the bleachers stood up and started cheering.
"Shadow! Knuckles! Shadow! Knuckles!" The guys started chanting as Amy smiled at waved at the black hedgehog wearing number 24. Shadow waved back and started to run to the side of the field to get prepared. Suddenly another team burst through another banner on the other side of the field.
"Give it up for the visiting team from Florida! The Florida Mobius High Wizards!" The principal said pointing to the other side of the field. The crowd full of students started to boo at the visiting team. After a few more minutes the game started. Shadow had the ball and looked around for an opening. Shadow threw it to a jack rabbit who gained some yardage before being taken down by a gorilla. Shadow again had the ball and passed it to a cheetah. The cheetah ran passed the other team's defense to score the first touchdown of the game. The students, alumni, and parents cheered as the offense ran back to the sidelines and the defense took to the field. The quarterback of the other team, who was a wolf, called hike as he received the ball and looked for the openings. Knuckles got passed the defense and sacked the wolf as the crowd erupted in cheers.
The game continued on with Shadow throwing two touchdowns and even running one in. Knuckles was able to sack the quarterback two more times and keep the offense back. Sadly the other team caught up and was only a field goal away from tying the game up. The score was now 28 to 25 with Tornadoes in the lead. Shadow passed the ball to a coyote before the coyote started to run down the field only to be taken down by a tiger. The ball flew out of his hands as the tiger caught the fumble. Shadow cursed before returning to the sidelines. Knuckles was able to stop them from reaching the end zone, but the Wizards were able to make it to field goal range and scored the field goal making the score even.
The fourth quarter was almost over as Shadow returned to the field. This was his last chance to try and win the game. Shadow called hike and was thrown the ball. He didn't spot any open players and saw a player on his team run up to him. Shadow faked the ball to him before taking off down the field with the ball. A hedgehog was running towards him, but Shadow ducked under the hedgehog and continued to run. Knuckles was right by him knocking every guy trying to tackle Shadow. Shadow saw the end zone approaching and began sprinting to it. However, Knuckles was taken down and Shadow saw a crocodile head for him. Shadow leaped through the air and landed in the end zone right about the time the crocodile tackled him. Everybody cheered for Shadow as Shadow got up from the ground and held the ball up in the air. The students stormed the field as the other players' ran onto the field.
"We won!" Midnight screamed as she wrapped her arms around Static's neck. Shadow and Knuckles were lifted into the air by their teammates and carried into the locker room. The principal soon came out after the losers left with their heads down.
"We did it!" The principal said raising his fist in the air as the crowd cheered. "Now, for the matter of Homecoming King and Queen, here is Rebecca Norrie to announce who won." The principal said as Rebecca walked towards the principal. Rebecca was the senior class spirit commissioner while Todd was the ASB spirit commissioner. Since Homecoming King and Queen was deemed a senior class priority, Rebecca got to announce the winners. The principal handed her the microphone and she smiled.
"You're hot!" Someone in the audience yelled. Sonic stood up and looked around the now sitting crowd with his jade eyes scanning through every person.
"Who the hell said that!?" Sonic yelled out as the guy lowered his head.
"Good evening Tornadoes! We all know why I'm here, so without further ado your Homecoming King is…Knuckles the Echidna!" Rebecca said as everybody cheered. Knuckles came out from the locker room still in his football gear. Rebecca placed a crown on his head as she grabbed the mic again. "Good game Knuckles and congratulations!" Rebecca said as Knuckles nodded and walked to the side waiting for Homecoming Queen to be announced. Rouge was on the side biting her nails. Since Knuckles won Homecoming King she has to be Queen. "Your Homecoming Queen is…Luna Moon?" Everybody cheered as Karen stood shocked. Rouge looked over to Luna who was sitting next to Reese with the same expression as Karen. Luna looked over to Rouge and expressed her apologies. Rouge smiled and mouthed its ok and told her to go. Luna got up and made her way to the center of the field.
"How could I win? I wasn't nominated." Luna whispered as she looked at Rebecca.
"Apparently you were. I guess you didn't even bother to care." Rebecca said as she place a crown on Luna. Luna turned around and smiled to the crowd as she made her way next to Knuckles. They hooked arms and posed for the yearbook and walked over to their friends.
"Congratulations Luna!" Amy said as she hugged her friend.
"Thanks Amy, I'm sorry, Rouge." Luna said looking at Rouge.
"Hey, it doesn't matter. As long as Karen didn't win, I'm cool." Rouge said as she hugged Luna.
"I guess that means you're going out with the Homecoming Queen, Reese." Sonic said as he nudged him.
"I don't care if she's Queen or not, I love her no matter what." Reese said as he wrapped his arm around Luna and kissed her on the forehead.
"Well, what are we waiting for? We have a party to get to!" Midnight said as everybody cheered and headed for their cars.
"I'm so happy you won the game. I told you that you'd be the best on the team." Amy said as she and Shadow held hands. Shadow and Knuckles had left after Knuckles' crowning and showered and dressed.
"I wouldn't have won without my team." Shadow said.
"That's damn right!" Knuckles said as he got hit on the head by Rouge.
"You're ruining their moment." Rouge whispered to Knuckles as he became quiet.
"Anyways, it doesn't matter, all I cared about was you." Amy said as she leaned her head on Shadow's shoulder.
"Can you two love birds stop for one second so we can get a move on?" Sonic asked from his car. Shadow rolled his eyes and got on his motorcycle and helped Amy on.
"To the party!" Static yelled as everybody drove off. They soon arrived at Reese's mansion where a bunch of kids were standing outside waiting for Reese to show up. They all started cheering for Reese like he was a celebrity as he stepped out of his car. He opened the door and everybody poured in and the DJ Reese hired started to play music and everybody started dancing.
"They're faster than I am." Sonic said as he walked through the party. Jerry then hopped over the bar and started serving drinks to the party guests.
"Do you do this at every party?" Tails asked.
"Yeah, it's a hobby of mine." Jerry said pouring a drink for Tails.
"You got to dance at this party and I think I know who with." James said as he looked at Alchemy. Jerry blushed and gave James his drink.
"James don't even think about it!" Jerry said as James shrugged his shoulders
"I'm just saying you can't stay here forever and it's obvious you two like each other." James said as he leaned against the bar.
"She doesn't like me! You're stupid for even thinking that!" Jerry said as he continued to make drinks.
"Whatever, but you can't hide forever." James said as he walked away from Jerry. Reese was walking around saying hey to everybody passing by as he held Luna's hand.
"You want to dance?" Reese said as he went outside to the dance floor. Luna looked up to him and smiled as she remembered the song that was playing was their song. Reese didn't care that it wasn't traditional party music; he had separate dance areas for a reason. Luna wrapped her arms around Reese's neck and rested her head on his chest. Reese put his hands on her hips and started a swaying motion as they enjoyed each other's presence.
"I can't believe you remember our song." Luna said as they continued to dance.
"I couldn't forget it even if I wanted too." Reese said.
"Let's not think about that anymore, we're together now, and that's all that matters." Luna said as she put her hand on Reese's face. Reese smiled and let some space come between them as he looked at Luna who was confused.
"You're right Luna, and I never want to be away from you again…" Reese said as he looked into Luna's crystal blue eyes. He got down on one knee and pulled out a small black box. Luna gasped as people started to stare. "Luna Aqua Moon, will you marry me?" Reese asked opening the box to reveal a square diamond with smaller diamonds surrounding it. Luna gasped and her mouth hung open as her eyes widened. Reese was proposing to her!? The love of her life was on one knee with a beautiful ring in his hands saying he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her!? She couldn't believe it. She was in total shock as she continued to look at the ring and Reese. Luna smiled and got down on her knees as tears started to spill from her eyes.
"Yes." Luna said letting out a watery laugh. Reese smiled brightly before sweeping her up into his arms. Everybody around them cheered as Reese slipped the ring onto her finger. Reese caressed her back lovingly as she continued to cry from sheer joy.
"I promise I'll never leave you." Reese whispered in her ear before kissing her. Amy was by the bar talking to Alchemy, when Static and Midnight came up to them.
"Did you guys hear?" Static asked excitedly.
"Hear what?" Alchemy said looking at the excited sophomores.
"Reese proposed to Luna!" Midnight exclaimed jumping up and down.
"What!? Are you serious!?" Amy asked jumping up from her seat.
"How come he never told anyone?" Alchemy asked.
"Isn't it obvious? He probably knew we tell her." Midnight said Amy and Alchemy. Suddenly Sean Kingston's Rum and Raybans began to play throughout the house. "Oo! I love this song! Static you want to dance?" Midnight asked excitedly. Static blushed and nodded and Midnight pulled them out on the dance floor.
"They're so cute!" Amy said as she watched them dance.
"I'm starting to agree with Tails that we talk too much of other couples. Especially when they're freaking." Alchemy said with a grimace.
"Now that I think of it, me too."Amy said before she turned around. Amy and Alchemy walked down the hall before Amy felt a tap on her shoulder. Amy turned around to see Shadow standing behind her.
"You want to dance?" Shadow asked as he held his hand out.
"No, maybe later." Amy said as Shadow let his hand fall slowly. "I'm just kidding! I'd love too." Amy said as she grabbed Shadow's hand. Alchemy sat at the bar as she watched her friends dance to the music. The song changed to Love U Betta by Neon Hitch and Alchemy sighed. She really wanted to dance but had no one to dance with. Jerry looked at her from across the room and argued with himself.
'Do it! James says she likes you and you like her. It's just a dance it's not like you're asking her out. But what if she thinks that and rejects me? She'll never want to talk to me again! Shut up! Get your ass over there and ask her to dance!' Jerry sighed and started walking over to her, but then he saw Romeo come up to her.
"Hey Alchemy, how have you been?" Romeo said leaning on the bar.
"I'm sorry, I got to go." Alchemy said as she got off her bar stool but got stopped by Romeo.
"No need to be shy, I just want to talk to you." Romeo said. Jerry started to get angry as he saw Romeo hit on Alchemy.
"I'm sorry, but I really got to go." Alchemy said as she started to walk away.
"Come on, we can have a lot of fun together." Romeo said as he grabbed her wrist. This sent Jerry over the edge. He quickly stomped over there and punched Romeo in the face sending him to the ground.
"Stay away from her!" Jerry yelled as he looked at Romeo on the ground. Some people started to crowd around as they watch the fight commence. Romeo got off the floor and tackled Jerry down and pinned his arms down.
"What does it matter to you?! You don't even like her and if you did you're too much of a pussy to do anything about!" Romeo spat as he punched Jerry across the face.
"Shut the fuck up!" Jerry exclaimed as he kicked Romeo off him before he punched him in the stomach. Soon Shadow and Static came behind Jerry. "Stay back, I don't need help." Jerry said as he watched Romeo recover from the hard blow. Jerry charged Romeo and put him in a tight headlock. Romeo tried to break free from the airtight grip, but it was useless. "If I ever see you hit on her again, you'll be dealing with me." Jerry said as he threw Romeo over the bar. People started cheering, but quickly went back to dancing. Shadow and Static gave a Jerry a pat on the back and went back dancing with Amy and Midnight. Alchemy walked up to Jerry, who only glanced at her.
"Thank you Jericho." Alchemy said sweetly. Jerry turned to face her and smiled. Alchemy blushed, she always liked Jerry's smile. Jerry turned himself so his body would be facing her.
"Do you want to dance?" Jerry said as he looked into Alchemy's deep brown eyes. She smiled and nodded which made Jerry sigh in relief. Jerry smiled and led her to the dance floor. On the other side of the party Silver, Blaze, Tails and Cream were hanging out.
"Hey, where's Todd?" Cream asked as she noticed the hedgehog was gone. Suddenly she heard a bunch of people cheering, laughing, and screaming. Everybody turned their heads and saw Todd streaking across the yard.
"Tornadoes bitches!" Todd screamed as he ran through the yard completely naked.
"My eyes!" Silver said as he covered his eyes.
"It burns!" Tails said covering his eyes. Cream and Blaze giggled as they turned their heads the other direction. Todd ran back into the house and the girls heard more screaming and cheering.
"Is it over?" Silver asked as he peeked through his fingers.
"Yeah, I think we're safe." Tails sighed in relief as he put his hands down.
"Why are you guys so freaked out?" Blaze asked as Cream giggled.
"I don't want to see my friend's wang flaying around!" Silver exclaimed as Blaze and Cream laughed.
"Cream, can I talk for you a second." Tails asked when the laughter settled down.
"Ok." Cream said. They both got up and walked away from Silver and Blaze.
"What does he need to talk to her about?" Blaze asked as she watched the two walk away.
"I don't know. But Blaze, I need to talk to you too." Silver said as Blaze whipped her head around.
"About what?" Blaze asked as Silver blushed before exhaling lightly.
"I know we've been friends forever and I know that I care about you. It's just lately, who am I kidding? I always had feelings for you, but I'm just realizing them now. What I'm basically saying is," Silver as turned to look at Blaze. "Will you go out with me?" Silver asked. Blaze smiled softly and took Silver's hand into her.
"As long as you never streak." Blaze said as Silver chuckled lightly and hugged her. Tails heart was racing one hundred miles a minute. Cream was clueless to what Tails was about to do.
"Cream I like you!" Tails blurted out and then covered his mouth. Such a smooth delivery. Cream's hazel eyes widened as they looked at Tails.
"What?" Cream asked trying to figure out what he was saying. Tails sighed and looked down blushing.
"I said I liked you, and I really do ever. I've liked you since I met you." Tails said looking at her with his ocean blue eyes.
"I like you too." Cream said smiling.
"Oh thank God!" Tails said putting his hand to his heart like he just survived a heart attack. Cream giggled as Tails held her hand walked back into the house. Meanwhile Nikki was upstairs in Reese's older brother's room since she didn't really like to be at parties. She was looking outside and sitting on the window seal with her knees against her chest. She heard the door opening and turned to see who was entering the room and hoping it wasn't a couple trying to hookup. James walked in and she smiled at him.
"What are you doing in here?" James asked as he leaned against the window.
"I'm not a big party person. I get a little annoyed with all the noise and people after a while." Nikki said looking up at James.
"I do too, did you hear Reese proposing to Luna." James asked crossing his arms.
"Yeah, it was right before I asked Reese if I could come up here." Nikki said smiling.
"I was looking for you downstairs and that's how I found out they were engaged." James said as Nikki looked up at him confused.
"You were looking for me?" Nikki asked as James blushed and mentally slapped himself for saying that.
"Uh, yeah I wanted to ask you to dance." James said. James never lied he always thought honesty was the best policy.
"Really?" Nikki asked.
"Yeah." James said looking down.
"Well you found me and the party still isn't over." Nikki said as James looked up smiling. James led her back downstairs and passed Elijah and Arielle.
"Has your brother told Alchemy he likes her yet?" Arielle asked as they sat on the staircase.
"Not yet, but he's improving." Elijah said as he rested his arms on his knees.
"Yeah saying 'hi' is a major step for anyone." Arielle said sarcastically as she leaned against the wall.
"All I know is that he beat up Romeo for hitting on her and finally asked her to dance." Elijah said closing his eyes.
"What about you? I never see you trying to get at the girl you like." Arielle said as Elijah's eyes shot open.
"I don't like anyone." Elijah said leaning forward.
"Yeah and I'm the Queen of England. C'mon, everybody likes someone, especially in high school." Arielle said as she sat next to him.
"Well I guess I'm an exception." Elijah said.
"Just tell me. I'm not going to say anything. Is it someone I know?" Arielle said as she looked at him. He only nodded and Arielle smiled at her progress of him admitting he liked someone. "Do I like her?" She asked as he nodded again "Is she at the party?" She asked as he nodded and he looked at her with his golden eyes. "What kind of Mobian is she?" Arielle asked. Elijah looked at her and instantly knew she'd figure out who it was when he answered her question. He sighed and thought it's better to say it now than never.
"She's a wolf." Elijah said. Arielle started to think about it and then gasped when she figured out who it was.
"You like me?" Arielle asked looking at Elijah in disbelief. Elijah blushed and nodded his head. She smiled and hugged him tightly as he looked at her confused. "I like you too." Arielle whispered as Elijah smiled and hugged her back. All of a sudden they heard chants indicating a fight before hearing Spark's yell.
