FYI: TWILIGHT IS AWESOME (even thoguh the movie kind of was... crappy compared to the books... but then again, they always are...)

Ah well, rather than listen to my b****ing and moaning, how about an update?

Enjoy!


At the Gym in school, everything was still running properly.

"So they are to play a different one of these games every day? And all I really have to do is yet this play button?" Little Quasar in her two foot tall humanoid form asked.

"Yep, and make sure that they follow the rules." XT said, as if to conclude something.

Quasar followed her dad as he walked towards the door, and fell face first again, she still couldn't walk.

"Oh yeah, and Quasar, see that green button on the grid? Row 98, column R? Press it, walk over to it and press it." (A/N: You will find that I stuff R98 into my stories a lot... lol...)

Quasar stumbled over to the grid and pressed the button lightly.

Instantly the room changed slightly, and a small pad in front of the monitor appeared.

"Now, without cheating by getting into the system, I want you to play that game, and I want you to get good at it. The moment you master every song, you will be able to walk like a pro. It won't take long, maybe more than an hour or so for you." XT left the room, waving to his daughter, and left the dimension with a tremendous boom. (A/N: XT's Exodus fromthis story for a long, long time, if he's coming back, I don't know... I want to have some fun with Quasar.)

Quasar looked out the door, and sighed, her daddy was gone, and might not be back for a long time.

So, what was the first thing on her mind?

"Learn to walk." She said, contrary to the modern belief, "THEN party." She smirked wickedly, and hobbled to the pad.

Four arrows, one was facing forward, one was facing left, one was facing downwards, and one was facing right, all in a circle.

Looking from the pad, Quasar looked up at the screen.

Dance Dance Revolution: DJ XJ's Grand Remix.

"Oh boy… dear old daddy did it again… well, better get this started…" Quasar carefully lifted her foot, and pressed it on the 'start' button on the pad.

After choosing one of the slower songs, Quasar started to play the game, trying, futilely, to play the level.

About half way through the slow song, the screen shook and the big letter of 'E' stood in front of an angry Quasar.

"Sorry mate, come back when you learn to dance." The smooth voice of the computer spoke.

Quasar looked at it, glaring.

"Again then!" Quasar growled, pressed the start button again, and the arrows on the screen started floating upwards, making Quasar move her feet to press the corresponding arrows.

This time, she passed, and her score was a 'D'.

Very proud of her score, she shouted at the computer.

"Look who knows how to move their feet moron!" She smirked, sticking out her metal tongue.

"My grandmother can dance better than you!" The computer responded, as if angry at her.

"WHAT?!" Quasar roared. "Again!"

After memorizing the song twice over, Quasar passed the song with an 'A' this time, and was very happy with it.

"Muhohoho! I beat you this time!" She spoke triumphantly, probably not realizing the computer's AI wasn't capable of hearing.

"You've played this before, haven't you?!" It complimented.

Quasar smiled.

"Yeah! That's right you sack of bolts! Eat it!" Quasar cackled.

Then she noticed something.

It was on easy.

"What? EASY?! THAT WAS EASY?!" Quasar switched the mode to intermediate, and chose another song, just to prove that she, not the computer, was the master.

Unfortunately for her, she got another 'E', and not only that, fell over in the song, resulting in the final 'Boo'.

The game taunted her as she played, and now, as she received her final grade on the song, another failure, it spoke again, with much, unnecessary volume.

"Better luck next time!" It spoke.

"You tease! Again you infernal contraption from hell!" Quasar screamed at it, hitting start again.

This continued all throughout the next, until she got a 'C' on the hardest mode, 'heavy', she could play.


Sarah and Stephen woke up in a strange position.

Apparently, Stephen liked to roll around in bed, and, seeing as he was in the same bed with Sarah, they found each other in an awkward position.

"Stephen!" Sarah yelped as she found the grey hedgehog spanned over her body, as if he were trying to pin her down.

"Hi Sarah!" Stephen said happily, not realizing exactly why what he was doing was wrong.

"Get off of me!" She pushed him off; luckily, he had little weight.

"What, Sarah?" Stephen asked, eyes bigger, about to cry.

Sarah stayed laying down in her bed, Stephen on the floor, with her hands at her mouth, blushing; Stephen was on top of her as she slept.

The first reaction she showed was anger, rising up she yelled at Stephen.

"What were you doing on top of me Stephen?!" She growled.

"I'm sorry… you were comfy." Stephen's eyes watered slightly, the water flowing off of his face this time, not getting absorbed.

Sarah's face was unfazed at his tears.

"Don't do it again. You shouldn't sleep on top of people, it is very bad."

"I'm sorry…" He held his legs and started sobbing, he wasn't a very emotionally stable person.

Sarah then felt compassion for him, and hopped out of bed, her jacket, unbeknownst to her, was off as she always had it when she woke up after sleeping in a bed.

"Hey Stephen, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled, it was wrong of me." She sat next to him, and patted his back.

Looking at her for a moment, his expression changed.

"What's that Sarah?" Pointing at the bra over her lightly furred chest.

"GAH! STEPHEN! DON'T LOOK AT THAT!" She jumped, and rushed to her bed, hiding herself.

Stephen started crying again.

"Stephen…" What am I ever going to do with you? "Sorry… I… it's just… that's a special part of a girl, and we don't want anyone looking there. It wasn't your fault… Now Stephen, can you please get out of the room so I can change?"

"Change what?"

"My clothes… Stephen, I don't want you to see me without my clothes on. It's kind of simple."

"Oh… sorry…" Stephen crawled out of the room, trying not to make eye contact with Sarah.

"I really kind of feel sorry for him…" Sarah said as she picked up her clothes, and hastily put them on to eat breakfast and go to school.


Time went by, and as Quasar had to deal with the first hour class, Brunis, Daisy, and Richard's hour, she was ready to make her new debut.

"Well class," Quasar said as she proudly walked in on two feet, if a bit awkwardly.

"Quasar?" Daisy asked, partially recognizing the taller version of the spider she once knew.

"That will be Ms. Q in the gym Daisy Prower." Quasar smirked. "Ok, today class, you shall be playing a game of basketball again."

The class groaned.

"Now why is this? Hmm… ok, I'll spice it up. We'll play it on double court, happier?"

"Wait, what?" Brunis asked, knowing that there was either half court or full court, not double.

Quasar grinned again.

"There will be on hoop, at that end," Quasar pointed, and the hoop appeared, "and one on that end," another hoop appeared.

"You will play in teams, four teams total, and two games will be played. However, once the ball is in the hands of the defensive team in their court, and then taken to the center… well… let's give a demonstration. Brunis, come here."

The hulking wolf came from the crowd and stood in the middle of the court.

"Now, take this ball, and take it to the center, you're the defensive, presently." Quasar bent over to pick up a ball, and fell over. "Frick!" Quasar complained, the class laughed at her. "Not funny." She grumbled, giving Brunis the ball.

He dribbled the white version of the basketball, and took it to the center of the field.

The second he did, everyone felt very strange.

"Whoa!" Instantly, everyone rose into the air, flipped over, and landed with a minor thud.

"And then you take it back to the hoop and shoot." Quasar said, she was on her face again, unable to have made the transition due to lack of balance.

"Quasar, why do you keep falling?" Daisy said, walking over to her friend to help her up; she never got the chance to help though.

"Don't touch me! I'm perfectly fine. Just a bit dizzy, that's all." Quasar snapped, something had made her very grumpy.

Daisy backed off, and went to Brunis's team.

"Split up! The game begins in 2 minutes. If anyone isn't on a team by then, I will force you onto a team.

Luckily, everyone found their place, and Quasar got up to start the game, headed off to a random wall, and, before she could get to the opening, she tripped again, and fell on her face, hat first, which, hurt her and gave her a bit of a shock.

"Hahahaha!" The kids laughed as she pulled herself inside the room.

"Damn kids…" She grumbled, tempted to just lock the gym with them inside it, but, didn't because her father wouldn't approve.

Kicking her feet back, she started the game, and let the kids play.

Pissed at them, she wasn't going to give penalties, if they beat themselves to death, well, that was their problem.


Brunis and Daisy, now on a team, faced off against Richard, and a few other kids in the gym, it wasn't hard beaten Richard, but he was more clever than he was strong, so the couple was careful around him.

It wasn't like they were actually playing basketball, but rather challenging the other's wits. Brunis was forced, by his good nature, and pestering teammates, to play, but Richard wasn't, leaving him to get uneasily close to Daisy.

"Hello my Queen." Richard said, obviously pretending to play the game and 'cover' Daisy.

"Richard," Daisy sighed, "It's really pointless you know. I'm not going to like you much, you can never be more than a friend to me."

"Are you sure? We'll see." He snickered.

"What? You're going to hit me with another mind controlling chip? I'll never forgive you for that either." Daisy said, starting to run to another section of the court, logically placing herself on the court for the team.

Then, Brunis stole the ball from the other team, and ran off to center court.

Richard slyly tripped Daisy's foot, causing her to fall on him, and, when Brunis hit the center court, and gravity reversed, Richard was on top of her.

"Sorry, my Queen, that was my fault." He said, giving a faint kiss to her cheek.

"Get off of me!" Daisy pushed him, but he stubbornly refused to move, having her pinned.

"Get off of her Richard, or I WILL add another scar to your collection." Brunis threatened, making yet another score for their team.

"Thanks Brunis." Daisy blushed and walked nearer to him, seeking safety from Richard.

Richard, of course, followed.

The next time Brunis took the ball, and had gravity reverse, Richard was a tad more aggressive.

He tripped Daisy onto him, and also had himself land perfectly on her so he was feeling her up a bit.

"RICHARD!" Daisy yelped, a plea to Brunis.

Brunis took the ball that he was about to throw into the hoop, a heavy object at the right speed, and launched it like a bullet into Richard's side, causing him to fly backwards.

Lunging at him, Brunis roared.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! I told you to GET OFF!" Brunis knelt on top of him, holding a fist in the air, and watched the little frail kid tremble beneath him.

He glanced at Daisy, both of them, and Brunis lowered his hand.

"Not worth my time." He grumbled, and hopped off of him, leaving him to tremble for a little while longer. "But be warned, stay away from her during that pool party, for I will be going too, and I refuse to have my best friend molested when I can do something about it." Brunis walked over and kissed Daisy gently, letting her wrap her arms around him to hold herself up.

Richard glared at them from the ground, and sat there as the childish, yet angry voice of Ms. Q spoke on the speakers.

"Game over. Class demised." Quick, short, and simple, and the moment it was done, the gym flipped over, again, making Daisy crash onto Brunis, both still kissing and laughing at the same time.

"Ow! Daisy! You bit my tongue!" Brunis jolted up in shock.

"Want me to kiss it and make it better?" Daisy said like a little seductress.

Brunis only flashed a smile, and kissed her as they walked out of the gym.

Richard lay there, glaring at them.

"What are you staring at, rich boy?" Quasar said with spite, hobbling over to him to kick him out.

"Why didn't you do anything to stop him from hitting me?" He snapped back.

"In MY gym, school rules don't apply. If you want to fight, go ahead, fight, but if you get hurt, it is NOT my problem. If it weren't for my father, I would've just smashed these walls together with all of you inside it, so, shut up, you're lucky you only had to worry about Brunis. In this gym, well, I am more of a threat. So get out, and be warned. Here, I'm always watching you." Richard hopped to his feet and walked out as Quasar kept chanting "I'm watching you."


In Sarah's class, Stephen was hovering over the poor light blue hedgehog pestering her with questions.

"What is that?" Stephen pointed to the book Sarah was reading.

"A book." She said dully flipping a page on the bean bag chair she was on as the rest of the class did the same.

"What do you do with it?"

"You read it?"

"What's reading?"

"Oh boy… um… you see these little markings? They're letters. You put them together, and make words."

"Oh… how?"

"Um… I don't know! I learned this awhile ago, I don't remember how I know it."

"Can I read too?"

"No, this is my book Stephen, and besides, I like to read at a relatively fast pace, and you can't ever read yet, so, it wouldn't work." Sarah said, complaining as she turned another page.

Stephen walked away with a hint of anger.

A few yards away, he sat at a table grumpily, trying to read another book, but getting nowhere. He'd never been taught how to read before.

Somehow, this bothered him greatly.

Grudgingly, throughout the rest of the day, Stephen managed, trying, without any gain, to read his small, ten paged book.


Later that night, after dinner in the Rose family, Stephen, upon emptying his plate quickly began to walk unsurely to Sonic.

"Mr. Rose," he begged attention in a more mature manner. Sonic was impressed, to say the least.

"Yes Stephen?" Sonic replied, making sure Sarah was in bed.

"Can you teach me to read?"

"I'm not so sure I'm the one to teach you Stephen, I even have trouble doing that sometimes… but, maybe Tails next door could help you. I'll walk you there if you need me to."

"Ok, but I'm good alone." Stephen said, walking towards the door.


Tails was sitting on his couch peacefully, stroking the fine green hair of his beloved wife as he watched Brian trudge off to bed.

Smiling, he glanced at the muffled silence of his surrogate daughter's room, and grinned.

"What do you think they're doing?" Cosmo asked, noting Tails' grin.

"Well, nothing any engaged couple shouldn't be doing, I'm sure." It was obvious he both assumed they were doing something specific though.

Then, a light tapping on their doorstep was heard.

The older kitsune hopped off of the couch and buzzed through the air to the door.

"I got it." He replied, opening to see the small, grey hedgehog standing at his doorstep with a small book in his hands.

"Mr. uh…" Stephen thought for a moment, "Prower, could you teach me to read?"

Tails was taken aback by this simple gesture.

"Um… sure Stephen, I'll teach you the basics…" Tails opened the door a bit wider, allowing the small, strange animal into his homestead.

Stephen took a seat on the couch next to the fair and radiant Cosmo as Tails dashed off to get something.

"Reading? You want to read Stephen?" Cosmo asked Stephen, making him blush a bit.

She was much prettier than Ms. Riley.

"Y-yes." Stephen stuttered, not making eye contact with Cosmo.

Cosmo immediately saw this, and sighed with a smile.

"Ok Stephen," Tails said, rushing a huge dry erase board into the room on wheels, "the basics of reading, is basically understanding what letters are, and what they look like, and what sounds they make. For example, and to start off, this is the letter 'A'." Tails said, drawing the character as neatly as he could. "It can be at any size, and can also look like this," as he drew the lower case version of it. "The letter 'A' has a lot of different ways that it can be pronounced, such as ah, a, and uh."

And so, over the course of the next few hours, Stephen was taught the fundamental basics of reading and understanding letters.

By the time he made it back into bed, he was so tired he didn't even attempt to read his book.


However, where Stephen was tired, Quasar was energetic.

With a face of angered determination, she stared mindlessly into the screen of DDR again, mastering all of the songs, again, on the absolute hardest mode.

Her feet were blurs, and there were times when she would have to glance down to make sure she knew what she was doing.

After this however, she stopped, and took a few steps off of the pad, and fell on her face again.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" She yelled to no one.

More aggravated than she'd ever been, she typed in a program into the computer, and walked out into the gym floor.

The whole room was covered in tiles, and all were flashing in faint colors.

She knew her game, they'd flash, and she'd have to tap them; all of them flashing to the beat of a song. It was similar to her father's DDR, but no screen visible.

Standing in the middle of her own arena, the song started, and she sang with it. (A/N: Song: Senorita By: Jenny Rom.)

"Tell me, if it's gonna be the same old story. You can't play with me this time, so take me. Cos' I wanna be your senorita." Quasar chanted with her feet fluttering across the room too quick to see.

"Don't go! Can't you see that I'm so hot for your love? Boy you gotta get the chance to try me. I'll be just for you la mas bonita." Quasar sang, almost angrily.

A bit more singing and dancing, and the lights just kept coming, making Quasar lead across the room at times, and didn't give her time to relax.

"I'll be your dancin' flower, dancin' flower, dancin', I'll be your dancin' senorita."

It seemed like the song went onwards throughout the night.

One this was for certain, Quasar was never tripping again.


So yeah, Quasar is a grumpy, envious person, of everyone who has something she doesn't. Whether that is love, or the ability to walk, or a friend, she will get jealous. But, when she's happy, she'll be as crazy as XT will, I promise.

More coming soon...
