Chapter 10: The Sixth Day; the Morning

A week passed since Yorkie's birthday bash, and pretty much everything was quiet after that. I still remained hopelessly in love with Wonder and Zeena, Yorkie had love issues of her own while running against Pauline for the vice president, Anna is still trying to get Ace to be her boyfriend but he is too shy about it, Michael has been real social lately with his friends, and Sheri and Will were still being themselves. As the first week of school finally passed over, it was time to finally get down to the second week of school.

The problem was…

The minute anyone saw the school, they would know something was indeed wrong. Police cars littered the front of the school as well as hazmat vehicles; something was definitely amiss.

"Everyone please remain calm and go home please," Vector said over his megaphone. "School will be closed down for the day until further notice." An outburst of complaints and questions soon erupted within the crowd. Toadsworth grabbed the megaphone. "Students and parents, I know you all may have questions you all wished to be answered but all we can say is that the school has been infested with a toxic gas and…" More outbursts were heard causing Toadsworth and Vector to become flustered. "Children please…"

Unlike the general population, I don't see what the big deal was. I love to have reasons to skip school.

Yorkie stepped out the crowd, getting tired of being pushed around in the crowd. She caught sight of Anna, Ace, Sheri, and Will in the distance. "Hi guys!"

"Hey Yorkie," all four of them replied.

"Doesn't this suck?" Sheri decided to start a conversation.

"No kidding," Ace said. "I wanted to learn today so very badly." Everyone had a good laugh at that remark, even Ace himself couldn't hide how ridiculously funny it was.

"Come on guys," Will said. "Maybe we can go and do something? You want to come with us, Yorkie?"

"Maybe later, but thanks anyway."

"Okay, we'll probably be at the mall then." As Sheri, Ace, and Will walked in some direction, Yorkie walked off and soon met up with Wonder and Zeena.

"Hey you two, what's up? I mean besides the school shutting down for the day and all."

"Nothing much," Wonder confessed. "Just wondering what to do now."

"Just thinking," Zeena also confessed.

"Do you guys want to go and hang out in the mall or something?"

With nothing else better to do, Wonder and Zeena just shrugged and walked with Yorkie over to Coconut Mall.

"Wow Sheri, that's so awesome! I wish Espio could teach me that!"

"Maybe," Sheri rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. "But it really isn't all that amazing…"

"Nonsense," Wonder exclaimed. "Having the ability to disappear like that is so amazing!"

"I have to admit, that was pretty impressive." The group came face-to-face with two hedgehogs, one in blue and one in jet black and crimson red. They had trays of food in their hands and it was the black hedgehog that was talking to Sheri.

"Really?" Sheri asked blushing.

"Yes definitely," he said. "I think you pulled it off quite well."

"I thought Espio was the only one who could do that though," the blue one mentioned.

"Well he did teach me that… If you cared to know."

"Really now?" The blue one said, "He must see something in you then. He never teaches anyone his ninja skills to just anybody." The blue hedgehog suddenly seemed shocked, "Oh yeah, I forgot to mention: My name is Sonic; Sonic the Hedgehog. And this is one of my pals: Shadow the Hedgehog."

"Pleasure to meet you," Shadow greeted to everyone, but he seemed to be focused on Sheri more.

"Well… Uh… My name is Sheri and these are also my friends: Will, Ace, Anna, Wonder, Zeena, and Yorkie." For a long moment, it seemed that all Shadow and Sheri did was avoid eye contact until Sonic determined that their food would get cold if they didn't hurry up and sit down at their table. Shadow reluctantly agreed and gave one final nod to everyone and looked at Sheri one more time as he followed Sonic to the table with their other friends. Sheri flopped right in her chair and felt like she was going to faint; Will nudged her playfully. "Someone has gone love-struck?"

Immediately, Sheri sat up in her seat and took and defensive position. "No!"

"Alright Sheri, calm down! I was just asking… Although I know the truth and so do they." Will motioned to everyone else at the table as they all smiled and nodded, meaning that they knew all too well. Sheri just sighed in defeat, unable to defend herself much longer. "I can't hide anything from you all."

"We are all friends here," Yorkie assured. "And as the good friends we are, we are going to help you!" If there was one thing Yorkie had, it would be that Yorkie was a sucker for romance.

"Hey, is that Michael over there," Zeena calmly stated as she took a sip of her soda. No doubt, Michael was also traveling inside the mall with his friends as well as new ones. Michael spotted the group and Yorkie beckoned him to come over.

"Hey everyone," he said with a tone of some tiredness. "What's up?"

"Nothing," Yorkie assured. "Just wanted to say hi is all."

"You sound tired," Wonder speculated. "Are you alright?"

"Just exploring dungeons and stuff; we're going to explore a distant island called Marine Resort."

"Yep," Nuzleaf piped, who just suddenly appeared. "Rumors have it that gummies galore are there! If there are any, I hope I can guzzle down either a grass or black gummi!"

"How are you going to get there though?" Will asked, he himself been to Marine Resort and it was a pretty nice place for water Pokemon as it is.

"I know Surf," said the confident Rhydon, who also just showed up. "I can get us there in no time."

"But aren't you weak against the water?"

"He is," Michael explained quickly. "I would have asked Christopher, but I haven't seen him all morning."

It seemed like Wonder was about to ask Michael something, but a blond haired boy ran up to the group. "Michael, are you ready to go now?"

"Yeah Lucas, we can go now… Hold on, did you find your brother yet?"

The boy named Lucas shook his head and gave a sad look. "Unfortunately not."

Kirlia seemed a little upset, being the emotion Pokemon she too could feel the sadness in him. "Cheer up Lucas, let us go to Marine Resort and see if he's there or not."

"It couldn't hurt to try, I guess." Michael and his friends said their goodbyes to Yorkie and the crew before they left their view.

"Maybe we should go do something," Anna finally stated.

"But what?" Ace mused.

"Sports?" Yorkie and Wonder suggested. The rest of the group shook their heads.

"The beach then?" Sheri and Will suggested. The group took a moment or two and decided on a no.

"A party then?" That suggestion came from a newcomer of the table, it happened to be Daisy.

"A party? Where at?" Yorkie asked. Yorkie loved parties.

"Peach's Castle," Daisy said excitedly. "Everyone's invited!"

How much fail can I do in one chapter? I feel like I should do more work on these chapters, but if I do that then I would just be making a whole new story and I really do not want to do that. :P

I swear I messed up Shadow big time. It's kind of hard trying to keep the character intact especially when I can't see said hedgehog involving himself in a romantic relationship. But it's what Sheri wants, so Sheri gets. That's the magic of HSD. :P

Ciao!
