Chapter Twelve: Wrong Place, Wrong Time

It was Monday at Green Hill High and everyone was coming off an awesome weekend, especially with Friday's dance in the books. Outside at the football field, Sonic and his friends were practicing as always when Silver spotted someone coming to the filed on crutches. Coach Hardhead also noticed Silver's expression and turned around to see his injured star quarterback Cyo approaching them on his new crutches.

"Well look who's back from the hospital, Cyo my boy." Coach Hardhead announced. Coach Hardhead gave the young lion a welcome back as the team applauded and whistled for their former star. After applauding the injured teammate, Cyo cleared so he can speak to his friends and teammates.

"You know guys, when I was laying in the hospital after my surgery; I just blamed myself for getting my ass injured. I'm too stubborn and hardheaded to tell people when I'm hurt." Cyo said.

"Don't blame yourself Cyo. It's football, shit happens." Sonic said to his friend.

"I know. I was just counting down the days until the season was over so that I'll be ready for the next one." Cyo said. Cyo just sighed until he felt Shadow patting his back in comfort, giving the lion much needed comfort. He took a deep breath before looking at all of his teammates with grit and determination in his eyes.

"I may not be able to play this season, but that doesn't mean I won't be involved damn it." Cyo began to speak. "I want to wish you damn Spartans the best of luck this season and hopefully bring home our very first state championship." Cyo stated. Sonic and the Spartans cheered and woofed in unison as Cyo placed his hand in the middle with everyone joining him.

"Spartans on three. One, Two, Three, Spartans!" Cyo shouted. The Spartans cheered and patted their injured friend; they will fight to bring the school's first championship. Coach Hardhead smiled at his team before looking down at his playbook; he had an incredible idea.

"Hey Cyo. Come here." Coach Hardhead said. Cyo limped on his crutches with Sonic and the team following him.

"What's up coach?" Cyo asked adjusting himself on his crutches.

"So you want to be involved with the team this season?" Coach Hardhead asked once again.

"That's right coach. I want to be with this team when we make the playoffs." Cyo stated. Coach Hardhead smiled before taking out a Spartans ball cap along with a playbook and placed the cap on the young lion.

"How would you like to be the best damn assistant coach for this team?" Coach Hardhead asked. Cyo was shocked to say the least; this was a big responsibility and he was given it on a silver platter. Cyo looked back to Sonic and the guys, each one giving him a determined and eager smile. Cyo had a big smile on his own face before turning back and making his decision.

"You don't even have to ask. I'm in." Cyo replied. Once again, Sonic and the team cheered and applauded for their new assistant coach. Cyo put on his ball cap and joined Coach Hardhead as the team returned to practice. The rest of the practice consisted of Cyo and Coach Hardhead calling potential plays for the Spartans to use in their next game.

"You know what Cyo, this could be the beginning of a great mentorship." Coach Hardhead said wrapping his arm around Cyo's shoulder.

"I have no problem with that." Cyo replied. It was now late in the afternoon and Sonic and his friends have finally finished practice. Coach Hardhead spoke with his team for one last time before sending his players home. Sonic and his friends entered the locker room and packed their bags and backpacks for the day.

"Man it's great to see Cyo back." Tails said taking off his sweatshirt.

"You said it, especially with him as our assistant coach." Knuckles replied removing his pads.

"This season is going be bad for the next shitheads on our schedule." Silver said putting on his basketball shorts.

"Heh shitheads." Hugo joked.

"Grow up dude." Carson joked while resting at his locker. Sonic and Shadow just chuckled before Cyo approached the blue hedgehog.

"Hey Sonic, can I talk to you?" Cyo asked. Sonic looked back at Shadow who just shrugged his shoulders and put on his running shoes.

"He doesn't look pissed." Shadow said as he started to pack his duffle bag. Sonic approached the injured lion and smiled at him.

"What's up Cyo? How's your rehab?" Sonic asked kindly.

"The doctors and trainers said I making great progress. They said I could be off these crutches within the next month or two." Cyo responded.

"That's great to hear man. So what did you want to talk about?" Sonic asked.

"I just want to give you a heads up. Just become I'm an assistant coach now doesn't mean you won't be listening to me." Cyo said. "I'm going to be calling some risky plays late in the game and I need you to pull them off. Do you understand?" Cyo asked. Sonic just gave the young long a blank expression before taking a breath and speaking up.

"Cyo, you just called the plays and I'll make them happen." Sonic replied with a sly smile. Cyo gave the blue hedgehog his own sly smile and shook his hand. Cyo waved goodbye to his friends as his mom picked him and drove him back home. Sonic turned around to see Knuckles, Tails, Shadow, Silver, Carson, and Hugo looking back at him.

"You're going to need us to pull of those plays." Shadow said zipping up his duffle bag.

"Damn straight Shadow." Sonic said sitting back down to finish packing. Sonic and his friends had finished packing for the day and left the locker room. The seven boys walked outside the gym, only to stumble a remorseful looking Sally Acorn.

"Sally?" Sonic said in confusion.

"What the hell do you want?" Shadow asked in slight anger.

"I just want to talk to Sonic." Sally said in a remorseful tone. Sonic and the boys looked at each other in confusion; they were genuinely shocked by Sally's remorseful voice.

"For what?" Sonic asked.

"I just want to apologize for what I did at the dance Friday night." Sally stated. This was a shock for the boys; Sally Acorn was actually apologizing. Sonic looked back at his friends; they looked like they didn't truly believe the chipmunk. Sally noticed this and got down on her knees as she spoke once again.

"Please Sonic believe me. I'm truly am sorry for starting that fight, please forgive me." Sally begged with puppy eyes.

"I don't know Sonic. She is a crazy bitch after all." Carson stated with worriment.

"Yeah man. She even called our girlfriends worthless sluts." Hugo said out loud.

"She made my girlfriend cry Sonic. You can't trust her." Tails responded.

"Please tell me you not buying this apology?" Knuckles asked Sonic. Sonic looked back at Silver and Shadow for the answers; he really needed their word. Shadow and Silver looked at each other with worried expressions before turning back to Sonic.

"I'm not going to stop you Sonic. That's all I have to say." Silver said. Sonic then looked over to Shadow, who finally found his words and spoke to the blue hedgehog.

"In the end, it's your call man." Shadow said worriedly. Sonic then turned his attention back to Sally, who was still on her knees with puppy dog eyes. Sonic just closed his eyes and sighed before speaking to Sally again.

"How do I know you're not lying?" Sonic asked.

"If you want to know I'm not lying then meet me at the girls' locker room." Sally stated. Now Sonic was at crossroads; should he go meet Sally at the girls' locker room or leave with his friends. Before Shadow and the other boys could even say a word, Sonic let his mouth answer for him.

"Okay." Sonic said. Sonic just stared out in shock, where did that answer come from? Shadow and the boys were shocked that Sonic agreed to meet with Sally. The chipmunk just stood up and hugged Sonic in a tight embrace.

"Thank you. I'll see you there." Sally said. The chipmunk let Sonic go and ran off to the girls' locker, with an evil smile secretly coming to her face. Sonic turned back to Shadow and the boys, who were now really worried for the blue hedgehog.

"Uh…I guess I'll…see you guys later." Sonic stuttered. Just like that, Sonic tugged on his backpack and gym bag and walked to the girls' locker room. Once he was out of sight, Shadow and the boys looked at each other; feeling their guts fill with regret and fear. All six stood in the hallway in complete silence until Shadow finally spoke up.

"Maybe we should just leave." Shadow said to the group.

"Yeah…let's go." Tails said as well. Since no one else spoke up, Shadow and the boys went to the parking lot, entered their respective cars, and left the school. On the Northside of the school, Amy and the girls had just finished their after school tutoring and were making their way outside. Once outside, Amy the girls noticed that the boys were already gone except for Sonic.

"Huh, Sonic is still here." Amy said surprised.

"I guess he's still talking to the coach." Rouge said. "Come on Cream, I'll let my mom to take you home." Rouge stated to the young rabbit.

"Thank you Rouge." Cream happily replied. Right at that moment, Rouge's mom came, picked up her daughter and Cream, and drove away. The next car to show up was Blaze's mother, who honked her horn to signal her daughter.

"Let's go Perci and Sticks." Blaze happily said as she dashed off.

"Wait for us." Sticks said following the purple cat.

"Later girls." Perci said before following her friends. Amy and Nebula waved goodbye as Blaze's mother drove the girls home. As soon as the three girls were gone, Fiona came outside and smiled at the two hedgehogs.

"Hello Amy and Nebula." Fiona said.

"What the hell do you want Fiona?" Amy angrily asked.

"I just want to let you know that something is going to happen at the girls' locker room." Fiona said. Amy felt a slight shiver go down her spine; what was Fiona talking about anyway. Meanwhile, Nebula felt a deep feeling in her gut; as if something was wrong about this news.

"What?" Amy asked in worriment. Fiona just smiled before walking away and spoke on last time.

"If you don't believe me, just come with me and I'll show you." Fiona replied, secretly hiding her smirk. Amy just felt her legs move on their own and followed Fiona to the girls' locker room, leaving Nebula in the dust. Nebula just stood in her place; feeling that bad feeling grow until she finally made a decision.

"I have to find out." Nebula said. She quietly and secretly followed the two girls down to the girls' locker room. When he arrived, Sonic saw that Sally was nowhere to be seen at all. He looked over until he saw the door to the girls' locker room was slightly open. He slowly placed his hand on the handle; deep in his own thoughts before pushing the door open.

"Hello?" Sonic asked entering. Unknown to him, Nebula was secretly watching him from the outside window. Sonic slowly entered the locker room; it was really quiet in here.

"Sally?" Sonic asked out loud. Suddenly, the door slammed shut from behind Sonic. The blue hedgehog quickly turned around to see Sally in nothing but her bra and panties.

"Hello Sonic." Sally said seductively.

"What the hell?" Sonic asked shocked. Before he could answer, Sally quickly slammed Sonic at the locker and began to kiss down his neck.

"Do you like my kisses?" Sally said kissing down his neck. Sonic was desperately trying to push Sally off while Nebula gasped at the sight. She couldn't believe it; Sally lied to him just to get in his pants.

"Get off of me!" Sonic said desperately trying to get Sally off.

"You know you want me." Sally said now trying to undo his pants.

"Sally no! Stop!" Sonic said scared. Nebula covered her mouth to cover her own sobs; her closest friend was tricked and there was nothing she could. Then the worst thing happened, the door busted opened; revealing Fiona and a shocked Amy. Sonic saw Amy and finally realized what happened; Sally tricked just to break Amy's heart.

"Amy! It's not what it looks like!" Sonic said finally pushing off Sally.

"It does Amy. Sonic loves and wants me!" Sally evilly smirked. Amy felt tears of anguish wielding up in her eyes; she couldn't get the vision out of her mind. Sonic quickly ran up to Amy, feeling his own tears coming to his eyes.

"Amy please believe me! It's not what…" Sonic couldn't finish as Amy slapped him hard. Nebula watched the entire scene unfold; she was feeling regret for not stopping her best friend. She didn't care about Sally right now, all she cared about was Sonic; he needed help now. Amy walked back, no longer holding in her tears of anguish.

"I trusted you Sonic and you betray me!" Amy cried in anguish.

"Please Amy. Believe me." Sonic begged with his own tears falling from his eyes. Amy looked at the broken blue hedgehog one last time and ran away crying. Sonic ran after Amy as Sally and Fiona evilly smiled and high-fived each other.

"We did it." Sally said. Nebula just looked away, held up her knees, and cried in sadness for her friends. Sonic after Amy until she was gone out the school and back to her home. Sonic just slumped to his knees and cried; he broke Amy's heart and he had nothing to do with it.

"I'm sorry Amy." Sonic cried. Sonic shut his eyes closed and cursed in anger to himself; he should have listened to his friend.

"Shit, shit, shit! I'm so stupid!" Sonic cursed at himself. He just cried and cried until he felt a comforting hand on his shoulder. Sonic stopped crying to look up and see Nebula with a few tears in her eyes. She kneeled down at Sonic and finally spoke to him.

"I'm sorry Sonic. You didn't know. I saw everything, it's not your fault." Nebula said to him. "I should have stopped Amy from going." Nebula cried. She hugged Sonic tightly as the blue hedgehog let a few tears fall form his eyes again.

"Amy." Sonic said quietly. Inside Sonic, his heart was aching in pain and he finally realized what he was feeling. He, Sonic the Hedgehog, was in love with Amy Rose; the most beautiful rose of all. Amy trusted him with all her heart and he repaired her by falling for Sally's trap and breaking her heart unintentionally. Nebula continued to hug Sonic tightly as she spoke to the broken hedgehog again.

"I'm here." Nebula said; he's never alone.
