I just noticed that I'm the only Silver/Tikal writer on fanfiction. Do the rest of you not see the beauty in the relationship? Someone from the past and someone from the future: They are as one in the present. (That was real dope right there.) Honestly, though, Silver and Tikal make a great couple. That's all. On with the story

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey, baby. How are you?" asked Mina from the other line in a soft voice.

"I'm great. I'm just missing you a lot," said Shadow.

Shadow was upstairs in his room. Alone. He hasn't talked to Mina since he arrived in Ocean Point, and after the 'incident', he really hasn't talked to any girl. It felt nice to hear a familiar, FEMALE voice. At least he knew that Mina was a female.

"Aww! That's so sweet, baby. Hopefully, we'll see each other tomorrow," said Mina.

It was the end of Spring Break. Tonight was the last night that they'd spend down here. Tomorrow morning, they would be on the road back to Station Square. The week had been very invigorating. All of the couples were growing closer. Despite all the temptations that each of them probably had, they remained faithful.

"I can't wait to see your smile," said Shadow.

Mina giggled on the other end. "Boy, you need to stop."

Just then, on Mina's side, Julie-Su and Sally walked into Mina's bedroom.

"Mina, will you hurry it up? We're late for yoga," said Julie-Su.

Mina let out a small groan. "I gotta go, baby, but I promise that I'm going to call you back when I get back."

"Okay. I love you."(Shadow meant that)

"I love you, too."

Shadow had Mina listed in his cell phone as 'Baby's Momma.' He closed his phone and put it up. Then, he lay back on his bed. Before he could close his eyes good, there was a knock on the door. Of course, it was Sonic and Amy. They didn't even wait for Shadow to say 'come in.' After knocking, they simply walked in.

"Hey, Shadow," greeted Sonic.

Shadow didn't respond.

"We're all about to go down to the Cascade skating rink and just hang out there. Are you coming?" asked Amy.

Shadow hesitated. Then, he responded. "Maybe later."

Sonic and Amy both shrugged. They didn't understand, but they didn't dare question him either. If Shadow didn't want to come, it was his loss. They both left Shadow there without saying another word.

Since all of the luggage was unpacked, there was enough room in one of the vehicles for everyone. They decided to take the Navigator over to Cascade. Knuckles drove.

Cascade was quite busy tonight. Then again, it was always busy. Cascade was the spot that every teen liked to kick back at. Not everyone even skated. Some people just hung out around the rink itself and watched the other skaters. Sonic and crew all got themselves skating tickets and headed over to the booth where you rent the skates. Knuckles, Rouge, Silver, and Tikal all got rollerblades while the rest of them used regular skates. After they had their skates, they headed for the floor. They all were practically good skaters. Sonic and Knuckles could glide gracefully across the floor without showing any signs of falling. Tails and Silver were a little shaky, but somehow kept their balance. The girls, of course, were natural skaters.

Silver was going too fast at one point and ran smack dab into the side railing. When he hit the railing, he caught onto it, however, and prevented himself from falling. The railing was hard; so it hurt for a few seconds. Silver closed his eyes and winced in pain. When he reopened his eyes, he saw a familiar face. Silver hopped off of the rink and skated over to a very large purple cat. He was sitting at a table by himself stuffing his face. Silver skates up to him and introduces himself.

"Hey, Big, this isn't an all-you-can-eat-buffet. You could go broke around here," said Silver.

Big turned around to see Silver standing over him with a smile on his face.

"Hey, Silver. It's been too long. Emerald High just hasn't been the same without you," said Big.

"I know. I feel the same way over there at Station Square without you," said Silver. "Is your sister around?"

Big pointed over to the place where you rent skates. Standing in line, Silver saw a purple, female feline. She was a brighter shade of purple and wore a white Armani outfit. After saying goodbye to Big, Silver skated his way over to where the cat stood. Silver crept up behind her and covered her eyes with his hands.

"Guess who?" said Silver.

The cat immediately started laughing. She was startled at first, but it became obvious after a second. Silver used to do it to her all the time. "Hey, Silver. It's been a while."

The purple cat reached up and got her skates.

"What have you been up to, Blaze?" asked Silver.

"College for the most part. How about you? I heard that you're a football star at your new high school," said Blaze.

"Well, I'm not all that, but I have managed to find some new friends. As a matter of fact, they are who I'm here with. I'll introduce you to them later," said Silver.

Tikal saw that Silver had left the floor, and decided to go search for him. After about a minute, she found him sitting down with Blaze. They were sitting awfully close, and Silver and she were smiling at each other. As quickly as she could, Tikal skated over to where they were.

"Hey, Silver, aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?" interrupted Tikal. She sat down on Silver's lap and gave a glare at Blaze.

"Uh, Blaze, this is my girlfriend, Tikal," said Silver. He felt in a tight spot because Blaze is his old flame. Silver knew better than to tell Tikal that he and Blaze used to date, but he was hoping that Blaze didn't say anything about it.

"Hey, Tikal. Silver and I are old friends. We were just catching up," said Blaze.

A new song came on the loudspeakers.

"I like this song. Silver, come dance with me. It was nice meeting you, Blaze," said Tikal. She got off his lap and led him away from Blaze. Tikal had never heard this song before, but it was better than to have someone push up on her boyfriend. She was not having that.

Silver was back onto the rink floor in a matter of seconds. He waved to Blaze from there, without Tikal seeing it of course. Blaze finished lacing up her skates and joined the rest of them on the floor.

After the song that Tikal 'liked' went off, Blaze intruded.

"Mind if I cut in?" she asked.

She skated up to Silver, grabbed him by the hands and skated off with him.

Tikal scoffed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sonic and Amy were skating together enjoying themselves.

"Sonic, I have to run to the bathroom. I'll be back," she said. She gave Sonic a quick kiss on the lips before skating off.

Sonic took that time to catch a breather. He got off the rink, went over to a stool, and sat down. As soon as he sat down, he was met with a familiar voice.

"Hello, Sonic. It's nice to see you again."

The sky blue hedgehog known as Alison sat down next to Sonic on the other stool.

"How are things going?" he asked.

"They aren't going to well. I need help doing something. Would you mind helping me?" she asked.

"Well, it all depends. What is it that you need help with exactly?"

She grabbed Sonic's hand. "C'mon. I'll show ya."

Amy was still in the bathroom when Alison led Sonic out of Cascade and into the parking lot. She never let go of Sonic's arm. When they reached the parking lot, Alison stopped in front of a black Subaru.

"Well, what is it that you wanted to show me?" asked Sonic.

Alison quickly stood in front of Sonic and whispered, "I want to show you a good time."

Sonic raised an eyebrow at this. Before he could say anything, Alison placed her lips on Sonic's. The kiss actually felt good. She definitely used more tongue than Amy. Still, Amy was his girlfriend, and he knew that he was betraying her. Sonic eased Alison off of him.

"Are you ready for more?" asked Alison.

She started undressing and tried to place another kiss on Sonic, but he put his finger in front of her lips.

"I can't do this. It's wrong," said Sonic.

"What's the matter? Don't you like me?" asked Alison.

"That's not the point. I have a girlfriend. It's wrong of me to do this with you," said Sonic.

"Why? Nobody has to know," said Alison.

"Alison, you're a total sleaze. At first, I thought that you were decent to some degree, but after this sudden advance on me, I can see your true colors. I'm sorry, but I don't want anymore to do with you. Goodbye.

Sonic left Alison standing out there in front of the Subaru. He could have sworn that he heard tears.

"Why are all the good guys taken?" Alison whispered to herself.

Sonic went back inside to find his beautiful rose standing on the floor. She was probably waiting on him to come back. He felt like a heel for making her wait. He headed back to the floor. Amy had a worried expression on her face.

"Where have you been?" she asked when she saw him.

"I stepped outside for some fresh air. I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."

"That's okay, Sonic. I forgive you," she said.

"I love you, Amy," said Sonic.

"And I love my Sonikku as well," she replied.

"Sonikku?"

"It's my new nickname for you. I promise that I won't call you that in front of other people. It'll be our little secret," she said.

Sonic smiled at her. She was his angel.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Knuckles took Rouge over to the concession stand. She wanted a shake. Knuckles went up and bought his girl a shake and some nachos for him.

"That'll be $4.25," said the employee.

Knuckles politely paid the girl and got his change. It took a minute, but the shake and nachos finally came.

Suddenly, a crowd started gathering around as it had on the beach. The guys already knew who they were.

"It's those show-offs again," said Knuckles.

"Who?" asked Rouge.

"It's just a bunch of creeps that the other guys and I met on the beach. They think that they're some type of extreme sports experts or something," said Knuckles.

The crowd formed a hole and the Babylon Rogues escaped through the gap. They started skating at high speeds around the rink. Then, they started performing tricks on the skates. Storm ducked down, and Galeon did a back handspring over Storm's head. Jet jumped on the side railing and started grinding around the rink. Wave did a 360 turn into the air and landed with finesse. Everyone started clapping and cheering.

When Jet jumped off the railing, he landed near Sonic and Amy. He immediately recognized Sonic.

"Well, well, well, look who it isn't," teased Jet.

Sonic just started at Jet. There wasn't a smile on his face.

"Are you still mad that I'm better than you?" asked Jet with a smirk.

Sonic turned to skate away from Jet.

"Leave me alone, Jet," he said.

Jet skated backwards so that he was face to face with Sonic as he skated.

"I see that you have a girlfriend. She's not bad. I don't know what she's doing with a loser like you, though."

Sonic had had enough. He pushed Jet. Since they were on skates, Jet went back a good distance.

"I told you to leave me alone!!"

Jet skated back over to Sonic and pushed him back. Sonic flew into the railing. Sonic bounced back and sucker punched Jet in the beak. Jet grabbed Sonic by the waist and tackled him to the ground. Then, it turned into a brawl. Sonic and Jet were going at on the floor. A huge crowd gathered around to watch the fight. The crowd was so dense that security could not get through.

Knuckles saw what was happening and rushed over to the crowd. Rouge, however, got stopped by a familiar hand, but Knuckles did not see that. He was heading over to help Sonic. Silver and Tails, too, were heading over to the crowd. The crowd was so thick that Knuckles, Silver, Tails, or security could not get through yet. They had to force their way through.

Jet and Sonic were still fighting. Jet, at the moment, had an advantage, but Sonic quickly recovered and forced Jet down. Then, Sonic started pounding away at Jet. Sonic managed to cause Jet's eye to bleed. At that moment, Sonic was ambushed from behind by Storm and Galeon. The two birds threw Sonic off of Jet and both started beating the crap out of Sonic. Amy could only watch as the two birds smashed Sonic. Thankfully, the security team came through. Two of them grabbed Storm, and one grabbed Galeon. Sonic slowly rose to his feet, but just stood there. Sonic had blood in his mouth and a knot on his head. Jet was still on the floor, holding his eye. The security slowly pushed Storm and Galeon out the door. Next, they came back and got Sonic and Jet and escorted them out.

"Sonic, we'll be out there in a minute," said Knuckles.

Knuckles went back over to find Rouge. She was not alone. That same bat from the juice bar was trying again to put the moves on Rouge.

"I already told you that I'm not interested in you," said Rouge.

"What? You prefer that piece of shit over me?" he asked.

Knuckles was at his wit's end. He was already a little steamed over the Sonic incident. Now, this guy was trying to hit on his girl after he warned him. This wasn't about to be pretty.

Knuckles walked up into the bat's face.

"What's wrong with you? Are you retarded?" asked Knuckles. It was obvious that he was mad.

"I know that you did not just call Magic retarded," said the bat.

"You've got to be hard of learning if you're still talking to my girl after I deliberately told you not to. Which one are you? Are you stupid, simple or slow?" asked Knuckles.

"Who're you calling slow?" He took a swing at Knuckles. Knuckles dodged the punch, grabbed Magic by his shirt, and slammed him headfirst into the wall. Security rushed over to the scene.

"You don't have to show me. I know my way out," said Knuckles, walking past the security without paying them any attention.

Magic lay in the corner, holding his head. He let out a big groan that signaled defeat.

Rouge stood over Magic and mocked him.

"Somebody just got their ass kicked. Bad!" she snickered at him before heading out the door.

What a night!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tails and Cream came out last. They had brought everyone's shoes. Obviously, there was so much commotion inside that everyone forgot that they were still wearing Cascade's skates. Everyone started changing their shoes. They just tossed the skates on the ground and left. Blaze had come with them.

"Wow, Silver. I had a great time tonight, even though it was cut short. Would you mind walking me to my car?" asked Blaze.

"Sure." Silver looked back and saw Tikal's disapproving expression. "Do you mind walking with me, Tikal?"

Tikal's expression changed to a smirk as she followed Blaze and Silver over to her car. Blaze's car was a black Lotus.

"I know you're heading back to Station Square in the morning, but it was still nice seeing you again," said Blaze. She gave Silver a hug. Tikal rolled her eyes.

"It was nice meeting you, Tikal. You're very lucky to have a guy like Silver," she said.

"I know," said Tikal coldly.

Blaze got into her car and closed the door. Big was already waiting there. He had three sandwiches in each hand that were wrapped in paper. He got into the passenger's side. The whole car wobbled as the obese purple cat squeezed himself into Blaze's car.

"What a bitch!" said Blaze as she drove off. Tikal turned her back to the car as it passed her.

"What a sleaze!" said Tikal.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They made it to the beach house at 1:00 P.M. Shadow was still awake. He was watching Comic View on B.E.T. with a bottle of Grey Goose in his hand. (For those of you who don't know, Grey Goose is vodka.) When they all walked in, he immediately noticed Sonic.

"Sonic, you look beat the fuck up. I knew that I missed sssomething," teased Shadow with slurred speech.

"Shut up, Shadow," said Sonic as he walked up the stairs. "I'm going to take a shower and head to bed."

Shadow cracked up laughing at Sonic. He was dead drunk. Knuckles came out of the kitchen a few minutes later with a glass. Everyone was staring at him.

"What?" he asked. "It's been a long night, and I need a little night cap."

"I'm still glad that you hit that Magic guy. The guy needed a tic-tac like Michael Vick needed Johnnie Cochran," said Rouge.

"You can't really blame him though. You're just too sexy for these guys to resist," said Knuckles.

Rouge smiled at Knuckles' charm. To her, it was sweet.

At about 2:15, everyone was asleep. They'd never forget the people they met in Ocean Point. Despite all the mishaps that occurred, they all agreed that this was a great Spring Break. Now that Spring Break is at an end, it's time to head back home and walk the halls of Station Square High.

A/N: Sorry Taiream fans for not including much of them. I'll do my best to give more on them in the later chapters. Oh yes, there's more.
