At the same time, Sally arrives to the dance as well, looking start some trouble with Amy and the girls. I want to thank everyone for the reviews, it's really appreciated. Anyways, let's go on with the story.
Chapter Ten: The School Dance
The day has finally arrived; it's Friday which means the school dance is tonight. Students were getting ready for the dance with their respective dates. In one particular home, Sonic was putting on the finishing touches on his outfit. The blue hedgehog was dressed in nice navy blue jeans, a crisp clean white dress shirt, and navy blue blazer, and his outfit was complete with a navy blue tie and navy blue Vans sneakers.
"Damn, I look good." Sonic said looking himself in the mirror. His mother Aleena came up the stairs and smiled as her son finished checking himself out.
"Aren't you looking so handsome." Aleena complimented. Sonic smiled as Aleena approached to straighten his blazer and tie.
"Big night tonight." Aleena said.
"Yeah. This is my first dance at my new school." Sonic announced.
"You have nothing to worry about." Aleena said finally straightening his outfit. "Just go to the school, have a great time, and most importantly; treat Amy like a true lady." Aleena smiled.
"You know I will mom." Sonic said with his own smile. Mother and son gave each other a nice, warm hug before Sonic went back to his mirror to spray some cologne. After that, Sonic grabbed his car keys and left his home to his Camaro outside. Sonic waved goodbye to his mother before starting up his Camaro and driving out to pick up Amy.
"It's show time!" Sonic said with slight nervousness. Sonic arrived to Amy's home in record time, parked his car, and knocked on the front door. He was kindly greeted by Amy's mother, who let him inside her home.
"Hey Mrs. Rose. Is Amy ready?" Sonic asked politely.
"Yes she is ready. Amy, Sonic's here." Mrs. Rose announced up the stairs.
"I'll be down." Amy replied. Soon, Amy down the stairs and Sonic was stunned by her outfit. Amy wore a beautiful scarlet red dress that went down to her knees with a matching pair of scarlet red Converse sneakers. She also had on a light shade of red eye shadow and blush, pink lip gloss, and her hair was styled in waves and bangs. Sonic stood up and made his way to the beautiful pink hedgehog, who was feeling nervous about her outfit.
"Wow Amy! You look fantastic!" Sonic said with a big smile.
"Really?" Amy asked with her nervousness slipping away.
"Absolutely! I never seen a more beautiful girl in my life." Sonic complimented once again.
"Thank you." Amy said feeling much more relaxed.
"There is one thing missing." Sonic said.
"What?" Amy asked. Sonic pulled out a beautiful, lavender rose from behind his back and placed it in Amy's hair. Amy gasped in happiness as Sonic placed the rose in her hair and smiled.
"Perfect!" Sonic said.
"Oh Sonic, it's beautiful. I love it." Amy said.
"Hey, I want my date to look her absolute best for the dance." Sonic replied. Mrs. Rose placed her hand over her lips and smiled; she loved how Sonic treated her daughter like a true gentleman.
"Okay you two. I want to take some pictures before you leave." Mrs. Rose stated. Sonic and Amy stood in the living room as Mrs. Rose pulled out her camera. Sonic placed his arm around Amy's waist and Amy held Sonic's right hand as Mrs. Rose took the pictures. The two hedgehogs gave small smiles as Mrs. Rose took a dozen photos before coming to a stop.
"Oh you two look so cute together." Mrs. Rose said.
"Mom!" Amy said in slight embarrassment. Sonic just chuckled as he held Amy's hand and walked her to the front door.
"Don't worry Mrs. Rose, I'll have her home by midnight." Sonic stated.
"I'll keep your word Sonic." Mrs. Rose jokingly replied.
"Are you ready to go Amy?" Sonic said holding his elbow out.
"Yes I am." Amy said accepting the gesture. Sonic walked and opened the passenger side of the door before entering the driver's seat. Amy waved goodbye to her mother as Sonic started his Camaro and drove to the school. The two secret crushes arrived to Green Hill Zone High in record time as Sonic opened the passenger's side.
"After you Amy." Sonic offered.
"Thank you." Amy accepted. The two hedgehogs held hands as the entered the school's gym, feeling their heart rates increase. The gym was full of students dancing on the dance floor, talking at their tables, and eating at the food table. Amy smiled in aw; this was the first time she came to the dance without Scourge. Sonic and Amy walked around the dance floor to see the new couple of Silver and Blaze.
"Hey guys. Glad you can make it." Silver announced as the pair approached them.
"I wouldn't miss this kickass dance." Sonic said to Silver. The silver-furred hedgehog was dressed in crisp, sliver-grey jeans, a black dress shirt, his own silver-grey blazer, and silver/grey/white Vans sneakers. Amy was amazed by the dress Blaze was wearing; it was a deep shade of purple complete with a matching pair of heels. Her hair was done in curls and she had on a deep shade of purple eye liner and wore red lipstick.
"I love your dress Blaze." Amy happily said.
"Thank you. I made this myself." Blaze stated.
"Well I have to admit Blaze, you look stunning and Silver is one very lucky bastard." Sonic said.
"Yes I am." Siler said. Just then, the lovely couple of Shadow and Nebula came into the gym in their formal outfits. Shadow was dressed in a white, crisp dress shirt, a black suit vest, black dress pants, and black dress shoes. Nebula had on Shadow's suit jacket, but she still showed off her silk violet-blue dress and matching heels. She decided to wear no makeup because she, like Amy and her friends, are naturally beautiful.
"What's up Sonic? How are you liking your first dance here at Green Hill High?" Shadow asked.
"It's really awesome! You guys know how to lit a dance." Sonic said.
"Amy, you and Blaze look fantastic!" Nebula announced.
"Thank you." Amy and Nebula said in unison.
"Come on everyone, let's go to Tails and the others." Sonic said spotting the twin-tailed fox at a table. The three couples walked over to see Tails at the table with his date Cream and Knuckles and Rouge. Tails' outfit consisted of crisp black pants, a white dress shirt with a yellow vest, a yellow tie, and yellow Converse sneakers. Cream's dress was just like Amy's with the exception of the color and her low-top Converse sneakers; the dress and her shoes were lime green.
"Hey guys." Tails greeted the three couples.
"How great is this dance?" Cream said in excitement. Knuckles was dressed in the same style as Sonic; except his jeans and blazer were charcoal grey, his dress shirt was red, he had no tie on, and he wore a pair of low-top red/charcoal grey Adidas sneakers. Rouge was dressed in a sexy, magenta dress that sparkled and matching high heels. She had on the same light blue eye shadow and pink lipstick; she loved her usual makeup.
"Well shit Knuckles. You have one of the sexist girls as your date." Silver complimented taking a seat across from them.
"And I love that dress Rouge." Blaze said.
"Well when your date is a sexy white bat, who have to look your sharpest." Knuckles said.
"Plus, I want my date to be penalized for holding my dress all night." Rouge said seductively. Shadow and Nebula sat down next to Silver and Blaze while the couple of Sonic and Amy took the seats next to Tails and Cream. The DJ finished playing the last dance track as the students returned to their tables. Sonic checked all the students and spotted Carson and Sticks walking up to their table.
"Hey Carson. How was the dancing?" Knuckles asked teasingly.
"Man I'm beat. I need a nice break." Carson replied. The young charmeleon had on black dress pants, a red dress shirt with a black tie, a black dress suit, and all black Nike Air Force sneakers. Carson also had on a black fedora with a red stripe around it; completing his outfit. Since her date Carson wore black, Sticks joined him with a sexy black dress and matching heels.
"I loved Carson wearing black. He looks really sexy." Sticks said with a small blush.
"And you Sticks look incredibly beautiful in black as well." Carson replied.
"You are one lucky son of a bitch Carson." Shadow said.
"Well what about Sonic? He has one stunningly beautiful date." Tails stated. Amy just blushed as Sonic smiled and wrapped his arm around her waist.
"In the end, we all have stunningly beautiful dates!" Sonic announced. The group couldn't agree more; they were all here to have an incredible time. Cream looked around and noticed their last friend was missing, the loveable pain in the ass hornet.
"Where is Hugo?" Cream asked kindly.
"I haven't seen him." Rouge replied.
"Where is your best friend Carson?" Silver asked.
"Oh he's here. Look." Carson said pointing over to the dance floor. Sonic and the group looked over to see the DJ booth; the DJ was Hugo. The hornet was dressed in black dress pants, a purple tie, a crisp teal dress shirt, and black Vans sneakers. Hugo was having the time of his life at the DJ booth spinning records and happily taking requests.
"Huh? Hugo a DJ?" Tails said with a raised eyebrow.
"He didn't come here with a date. I feel bad for him." Cream said.
"He really didn't come with a date Carson?" Amy asked the charmeleon.
"Well actually, when he came here a girl asked him to be his date." Carson responded.
"Right here at the dance. That's ironic." Shadow said with a chuckle.
"Not really. So who is his date?" Nebula asked.
"She's standing right next to him." Carson said pointing back to his best friend. Indeed, Hugo was jamming out with a beautiful girl next to him. She was a light purple bandicoot in a stunning teal dress and matching heels to go along with Hugo's outfit. She also had on long white gloves that go up her arms and she wore her hair in bangs and a ponytail. Although she was unknown to Sonic, Amy and the gang recognized who was Hugo's date.
"Oh my god. Perci asked out Hugo." Amy said happily.
"I knew she had feelings for the hornet." Nebula stated.
"Can I ask who's Perci?" Sonic asked his friends.
"Well since you're knew here, Perci is the head cheerleader for the Spartans." Shadow said for the group. Realization came upon Sonic's face; he's seen her on the sidelines at all the games.
"Oh yeah. Shit, I must be rude for not introducing myself." Sonic said.
"Ah don't feel like an asshole. You haven't met her during your first days of school." Silver said. Hugo and Perci took a much need break and walked over to Sonic and the gang.
"Hey guys. You all know Perci." Hugo said showing off his date. Amy, Shadow, and the others happily greeted the head cheerleader before she met Sonic face to face.
"Perci, this is my new friend Sonic. Sonic, this is Perci." Hugo said introducing the pair.
"It's nice to finally meet our new starting quarterback." Perci said extending her hand.
"Nice to meet you Perci. You, like all the girls at this table, are very beautiful." Sonic said shaking Perci's hand.
"Thank you very much." Perci said accepting the compliment. Knuckles, Tails, Shadow, Silver, and Carson all stood up from their seats.
"Alright ladies, we'll be right back to get you food and drinks." Shadow announced.
"Are you two coming?" Tails asked Sonic and Hugo.
"Sure. You want anything to drink Amy?" Sonic asked Amy.
"Fruit punch please." Amy replied.
"Alright, let's go." Sonic said. The seven boys went to the food table and punch bowl while their respective dates happily talked. The boys reached the food table to see it full with chicken alfredo, dinner rolls, mini sandwiches, and delicious salad. The seven boys relaxed by the table to see their dates talking to each other.
"Man, we sure are glad that we came to the dance." Knuckles said to the boys.
"Yeah. Come on, we have to feed our ladies." Carson said grabbing his and Sticks plates.
"Right behind man." Hugo replied grabbing his and Perci's plates. Sonic was waiting in line for his plates when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around to see Sally Acorn, who was dressed in a light blue dress that was rather revealing and showed a low cleavage.
"Hello Sonic." Sally said seductively.
"Oh…uh…hi Sally." Sonic said weirdly. He was feeling uncomfortable again, especially by the way Sally was dressed.
"So you came to the dance just for me." Sally said taking his hand.
"No I didn't. I already have a date." Sonic said taking his hand away. Shadow and the other boys saw Sally as well and walked behind Sonic.
"Look Sally. Like Sonic said, he already has a date." Shadow said.
"Yeah, sorry to bust your bubble." Hugo said as well.
"Oh really, and who was the dumb bitch that came here with you?" Sally asked Sonic. At the moment, Amy and the other girls came to check on the boys.
"Hey Sonic, what's taking so…" Amy stopped talking once she saw Sally.
"Sally, this is my date Amy." Sonic stated gabbing Amy's hand. Sally just laughed at the pair before she spoke again.
"This bitch is your date. How pathetic." Sally laughed.
"What did you say?" Rouge asked in slight anger.
"You heard me you slut. Amy's a pathetic bitch." Sally said with her hands on her hips. Rouge was about to attack Sally, but was stopped by Knuckles and the rest of the boys.
"Easy Rouge." Knuckles said holding his date back.
"Calm your girl down Knuckles." Tails said.
"Whatever! Come on Sonic, let's dance." Sally said grabbing Sonic's hand. Sonic pulled his hand and gently grabbed Amy's hand again.
"Sorry Sally. I already have a date." Sonic said. Just like that, Sonic and his friends grabbed their plates and drinks and walked back to their table. Sally huffed in anger and tossed her drink into the punch bowl.
"Oh that bitch Amy. I will have my Sonic, and Amy will not stop me." Sally said walking onto the dance floor. Back at their table, Sonic and the gang sat down to enjoy their delicious meal. Amy was picking her food at first, and Sonic saw how sad she looked. Sonic gently rubbed his thumb over Amy's hand in comfort and gave her a warm smile.
"I don't care about Sally. I'm here for you and only you Amy." Sonic said encouragingly. Amy looked into Sonic's emerald eyes and saw that he was indeed telling the truth. She no longer felt sad and smiled at her date; she had complete trust in the blue hedgehog.
"Thank you Sonic." Amy replied. Shadow and the others smiled at the couple until Sticks spoke to Amy.
"Are you going to eat your plate?" Sticks asked. Sonic and Amy just chuckled and joined their friends in enjoying their meal. Once they finished their meal, Sonic and his friends talked at their table until Hugo and Perci returned back to the DJ booth. Hugo put on his DJ headphones and spoke into the microphone.
"Let's dance!" Hugo announced. Soon, students entered the dance floor with their dates as Hugo played the next track. Sonic stood up and held his hand out for Amy with a smile.
"Let's dance." Sonic said. Amy just smiled at her date.
