"Man, sure is boring." Sonic said to himself, he was in his drama class that was assigned on his schedule. It wouldn't be so bad if the class wasn't complete Zombies.
"It feels like anyone could sneeze and someone would hear it echo." Sonic said placing his head in his hand. He sighed in boredom.
"What's the matter big blue?" Sonic looked up and seen Rarity.
"Oh, hey Rares. You in this class too" he said. She nodded.
"Of course I am darling, my dream is to become a famous designer and to hopefully become a movie star on the side." She said.
"Well it's good to have dreams, I hope yours come true." Sonic said. She smiled.
"That's very sweet Sonic, thank you." She said. "Do you have any dreams?"
"Do I have dreams? Uh, I don't think I have any." Sonic said as he began to think a little bit. "The only thing I lived by was serving justice to those who need it, to protect what mattered, and what I cared about." Rarity smiled.
"Also my friends, they are my strength and I am theirs." Sonic said recalling all his memories of their adventures.
"Keep that attitude up and you're gonna make all the girls swoon over you." Rarity said to him. Sonic blushed a bit scratching his head.
"Eh hehehe, well aside from that. What do you usually do in this class?" Sonic asked her. Rarity crossed her legs.
"Well usually we're given a script and a partner to practice and act out practice plays or musicals. Sometimes romance ones and occasionally murder mysteries." Rarity said.
"Hm, so when do you get these so called scripts." Sonic said. Rarity looked at the boy
"Usually Luna comes up with the scripts in her office, and hands them out later on in the week." She said. "We should be getting one here soon. She should almost be done with the one she's working on now."
"Luna? Who's that." Sonic asked.
"The principal's younger sister, she's also the Vice President of the school." Rarity told him.
"Celestia's sister?" Sonic said, "I hope she's nicer than her infamous sister."
"Well, what do you do in the meantime." Sonic said. "It must be pretty boring waiting for that script."
"It is quite bothersome isn't it. Luckily we do whatever we want until it's done." Rarity said taking her hand and twirling it in her hair.
"Anything you want to?" Sonic said in confusion. Rarity then gained a toothy grin and a look in her eye. She leaned toward Sonic and was inches from his face.
"Yes darling, Anything…" She said as sonic got really nervous and blushed a red crimson as she leaned in batting her eyelashes. Sonic could smell the sweet perfume that came off of her. Sonic's eyes were wide as pinpricks and he could feel his whole body sweat.
"Uh...uh...l-like what…" Sonic managed to get out.
"Like seeing the look on your face. Hahaha." Rarity laughed as she backed away from the boy who just slid a little in his seat like his life had flashed before his eyes before regaining composure with a slight blush on his face.
"Hey!" Sonic said as he furrowed a brow.
"Sorry darling but it was just too good to pass up." Rarity said as she giggled at the flustered teen. Sonic put on a pouting face.
"That's just not right, teasing a guy like that." Sonic said. Rarity picked another chance to tease the boy.
"Oh, so you do want a kiss don't you." She said with her eyelids lowered. Sonic again became flustered.
"Cut it out. What is there to do to pass the time." Sonic said. Rarity giggled again.
"Well why not tic tac toe." Rarity said holding a piece of paper.
"Beats waiting around here for something to happen." Sonic said.
For a couple of minutes Rarity and sonic played tic tac toe until the door was heard.
"Alright class." Sonic looked back at the door to see the teacher of their class. Luna. She had a hair color that looked liked you were staring into the cosmos.
"That must be Luna." Sonic said to himself. She started to walk by and had a stack of papers in her hand too.
"I just finished your assignments for the week,this is a two person project so I will assign you a partner by placing these scripts between you. Each one is different, so you never know what you'll get." She then started walking by desk and placing the papers in between students.
"Wonder what kind they are?" Sonic said as he watched her walk through. She then handed a paper to Sonic and kept walking.
"Well, well." Sonic looked up at Rarity. "Looks like we're partners big blue."
"Hehe guess we are." Sonic said.
"So what type of play are we acting out?" She asked. Sonic then proceeds to look through it, he just stopped after reaching one page of the script.
"Huh?" Sonic says with a questioned look on his face.
"What is it?" She said as she took the paper from him. She started reading until she saw what he was talking about.
"We have to write a musical?"
After a few moments they were let out of class.
Sonic and Rarity both walked out of class thinking
"So we have to write our own song for the project, the question is what should we write about?" Sonic said.
"Well practice in my dorm room later, Since Rainbow is always at the track working on her running it'll give us time to brainstorm the project." Rarity told him.
"Alright, I'll have to make an excuse for pinkie. You know how clingy She is." Sonic said.
"Believe me I know, I can't get her to stay still long enough for me to take her measures when I do dresses." She said laughing.
"Alright Rarity, catch ya later." Sonic said as he ran down the hallway leaving Rarity in a gust of wind.
"I sometimes wish he wouldn't do that." She said trying to hold her skirt down.
Meanwhile somewhere else…
"Tails!" Tails turned around to see Twilight calling his name and waving. Tails waved back as she went up to him.
"Oh hey Twilight, what's up." He said, Twilight walked beside him and made their way down the hall.
"Nothing really much, what about you?" She asked the Kitsune boy. Tails looked behind him and noticed those three girls he met before were following him.
"Well I got a small problem." He said, "these girls keep following me around. I don't know what for though."
"Three girls?" Twilight looked behind him and noticed he was right, she recognized them straight away.
"Oh you mean Aj, Rarity's and Rainbows sisters, they're part of the newspaper club. They try to get big news instead of trying to find ordinary news. In this case they must mean your biplane that you built a while back." Twilight told him.
"I mean I knew they wanted to talk to me about that, but it's just kinda stalkerish if you ask me." Tails said sweat dropping.
"don't be afraid to talk to them they are really nice once you get to know them." She said. Tails looked back still uneasy with them following.
"Applebloom why are we stalking Tails again?" Scootaloo asked.
"Yeah, why are we following him, isn't it a bit extreme to hunt him down like this." Sweetie belle said.
"I'm not stopping til I get a scoop and right now Tails is the most interesting scoop we've got right now." Applebloom said.
"Are you sure it's that? Or maybe it's Love at first sight." Scootaloo joked,she then received a bonk on the head and a giggle from sweetie belle.
Meanwhile in Animal care…
"Ok Everyone take your seats." A teacher said, Sonic zoomed in right before the door closed and whistled in his chair like nothing happened.
"Almost late again I see." Sonic looked beside him and seen Fluttershy who smiled at his presence. Sonic just smiled back.
"Hey Flutters, what's up." Sonic said.
"nothing much, just waiting til the teacher tells us what we're doing." She said. "What about you? Anything exciting happen today?"
Sonic thought about what he did earlier this morning but the only thing that came to his mind was the project for drama class.
"Well, other than a project I gotta do,but that's it." Sonic answered.
"Alright students, listen up. I've got a little pet project for you all no pun intended." The teacher began to say. Sonic attention was then caught and he listened. After a few times of him ignoring his teacher Fluttershy gave him a mini lecture and she made him feel a little bad about himself for doing so and he apologized for his behavior.
"Today I am going to let you all choose an animal out of room next over and you're going to take care of it this weekend for a grade. I'll be able to judge how well you do by the animal's condition." She explained to them.
"Follow me into the next room to pick a animal and I will give you the necessary resources." She said as she went into the next room and the students followed not long behind her. After entering the next room Sonic and Fluttershy walked up to the rest of the class.
"Wonder what kind of animals there are flutters." Sonic asked.
"I have no idea, they change them every year so it could be anything." She said.
"Oh, wonder if they have a hedgehog." Sonic said hoping that was the case.
"Now class I want you to go around the room and select the animal you wish to take care of." The students parted and looked around at the animals displayed in their cages.
"Wow, there's all kinds of animals. Mouse, cat, birds, fish, and even.." Sonic trailed off as he saw something skitter around in a cage. He looked closer and tried to see what was moving, after a few moments a small creature came into view he was the most adorable thing Sonic saw.
"Yo Teach! What this guy." Sonic said to the teacher as she saw what he was looking at.
"Oh, him. Why that's a hedgehog it took us a great deal to find since they are Extremely shy creatures in the wild.
" I want him." Sonic said as he looked at the little guy.
"Very well Sonic, just take him out of the cage and put him in one of these. She said holding a portable cage. The cage sent the hedgehog in a panic and it hid from view.
"No way, I'm not putting him in there. I bet the little guy like freedom to roam around." Sonic said as he reached for the hedgehog showing him his hand.
"come on little guy, I won't put you in there I promise." Sonic told the little pincushion as it neared it's hand sniffing it. The Hedgehog climbed up his arm and made its way to his shoulder.
"Hehe, you're an awesome little guy." Sonic said as it started sniffing him.
"so that's your choice, alright then I'll get the food for you." The teacher said as she went to get supplies.
"Yo Flutters What animal did you get?" Sonic asked as he went over to the girl who turned to smile at Sonic.
"An old friend." She said as a tiny bunny hopped on top of her head.
"This is Angel bunny, he was the very first thing I took care of in this class, we became best friends and bonded." She told him as the bunny started to rub on her.
"Wow that's Awesome Flutters!" Sonic said. Fluttershy smiled. She liked the nickname he gave her.
"So what Animal did you get Sonic." She asked him. She was answered by a little creature that started running around his shoulders. She saw the tiny little hedgehog.
"Oh wow, it's so cute." She said as she looked at it as it rubbed on Sonic affectionately. "She must really like you."
"She? You mean you can tell if it's a girl or boy." Sonic said.
"Yes, Animals act a certain way around different types of gender, much like Angel bunny is a boy, he tends to like females better. So the way your hedgehog is rubbing you with so much affection it must be a girl." Fluttershy said giving a quick explanation.
"Huh? Wow, never thought of it like that." Sonic said placing his hand under his chin.
"Alright you two here's their food." The teacher said giving the two the food.
"Thank you." They both said taking the food in hand.
"Well now that you picked your pets to take care of let's go back into class and I'll tell you when and how to feed them." The teacher said as the class started to follow them back in.
After explaining to each student how to take care of the pets the Bell rang and it was now free period. They were free to roam about the school.
"Ah, alright what to do now?" Sonic said, placing his hand under his chin and scratching as the little hedgehog was in the crook of his neck.
"Hey Sonic." Sonic turned his head to see Fluttershy coming up next to him.
"I was wondering, I-I-if you liked t-t-to um…" she stuttered with a slight blush on her face.
"Since it's a f-f-free period, I-I-if y-you li-liked to take a w-w-walk w-with m-me." Fluttershy was trying her hardest to form the sentence.
"Sure, sounds fun." Sonic said. Fluttershy perked up a little with a smile.
"O-ok. Let's g-go" She said. Sonic nodded and they both walked down the halls.
Meanwhile…
"Hey Aj, where ya going?" Knuckles said as he saw AJ heading down the halls.
"Oh hey Knuckles, I'm getting ready to head to my grandma's farm, sweet apple acres." She said as the redhead came towards her, "it's the weekend and I am going to see them, I just have to get Applebloom and we're going to help out the farm while we're there."
"Oh, I see. Would ya mind if I came too, I can help with that." Knuckles said. Applejack nodded.
"Sure the more the merrier, grandma would like the extra help." Applejack answered with a smile.
"Ok, so you need to go get Applebloom? Is she your relative." He said.
"Yeah, she's ma little sister." She said. "She is the newspaper club so she's probably wandering the halls."
"Right, let's start looking." Knuckles said as they looked throughout the halls.
Back with Sonic…
"Ah, the air feels so good. I could get used to this kind of weather. Not to mention there's been no sign of trouble so far." Sonic began to think to himself.
"Sonic?" Fluttershy called his name, he looked in her direction.
"Hm. what is it?"
"What made you choose a hedgehog?" She asked as she looked at the little critter sitting on Sonic's shoulder. Sonic smiled at the hedgehog near his neck.
"I don't know, i just feel a connection between them and me, like we have spiritual connection with each other." Sonic said as he scratched the hedgehogs neck.
"I see, you must really like animals." She said.
"Yeah, you could say i grew up around animals." Sonic told her.
"Wow, that sounds so fun. I wish i could've been like when i was younger." Fluttershy told him.
"What do you mean? What was your childhood like." Sonic asked, she looked in his direction and then forward ahead of her.
"Well, growing up, i never really made any friends because of how shy i was to everyone. Even if there was a animal around i would slowly move away from it and not acknowledge them in any way. It was just how i was." She told him.
"That sounds like it was hard growing up." Sonic said.
"It was, until I met Rainbow." She said.
"You mean skittles."
"Yeah, she helped me out of my shell and helped me open up more, the more we were around each other, the better our friendship grew. She would push me to move forward and never give up." Fluttershy told him. "In fact you remind me of her."
"Huh? How so?" Sonic said.
"Your personalities are the same, your both fast, you care about those around you, and your willing to protect the people you care for no matter what." She said.
"Hm, you hit the nail on the head with that." Sonic said. "Never give up til it's over, no matter where you go, your friends will always be by your side."
"You can even count on me to be there." He said.
"Right, Thank You Sonic." Fluttershy said with a smile.
"Bing bong ding dong"
"Looks like that was the bell, well I got somewhere to be so I'll see you later Flutters." Sonic said as he dashed off.
"Hmm." She sighed hearing his words in her head.
"You can even count on me to be there."
"Ah, oh I better hurry home." She said as she walked away.
Meanwhile…
"How long are they gonna keep this up?" Tails said as he kept seeing the trio follow him.
"They are seriously giving me stalker vibes. Now I know how sonic felt with Amy." He said to himself.
"Applebloom, how long are you gonna do this for, if you keep this up he's gonna put a restraining order on us." Scootaloo said.
"I'm growing rather tired of chasing this poor boy as well, he barely even knows us. I don't know about you but I'm leaving have fun." Sweetie belle said as she walked away.
"Yeah, I'm going to agree with sweetie. Good luck Applebloom." Scootaloo said as she left as well.
"Fine, I'll do this by myself if I have to, who needs you two." She said as She kept her pursuit on the young boy.
"Ugh, I have to lose her, this is annoying." Tails said as he neared the corner he ran for it, Applebloom saw and gave chase.
"Oh no you don't." She said as she neared the corner of the hall she jumped out from behind trying to catch the young man only to see the blue blur.
"Whoa! Easy, what's going on?" Sonic said as he questioned the young girl.
"Your brother Tails, where did he go?" She said as she looked around.
"Huh? How should I know, last I saw him was at lunch." Sonic told her.
"Aw man, I lost him." She said as She sighed.
"Applebloom!" Applebloom heard her name and turned around to see her big sister along with the redhead kid she tried to interview before.
"Yo! Knux, Hey AJ." Sonic greeted the two.
"What's shaking Sonic, other than those legs." Applejack said.
"Ah nothing really, getting ready to head back to the dorms, what about you guys." Sonic asked.
"Well me and Applebloom are going to go to granny's farm this weekend and your friend Knuckles is coming along to help us." Applejack told him.
"Oh is he now." Sonic said with a sly smirk on his face, he then nudged the boy.
"Way to go Knuckles." Sonic teased. Knuckles just elbow Sonic and that was enough for sonic to back off.
"Well, I hope you can keep knucklehead under control, just make sure he doesn't lose his temper." He said. Applejack just laughed
"I'll be sure to keep that in mind." She said, "Anyways, come on Applebloom, let's go"
"Man, and I was so close too." She said to herself as she went with the two leaving Sonic with his locker.
"Ok bud, coast is clear. Come on out." Sonic said as he opened up his locker and the small boy stepped out.
"Oh, thanks Sonic." He said.
"Why are you hiding from Applebloom?" Sonic asked.
"She's been stalking me all day trying to get me for her newspaper club." He told him.
"Is that it, bud listen, you may have avoided her today, but she's gonna come back with stronger fire than ever the more you hide." Sonic told him.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Tails said.
"Now I know you feel when Amy chased you around." Tails said.
"Yeah, maybe next time when they are after you just get it over with and outta of the way." Sonic said.
"Ok, I'll try. Thanks sonic." The boy said as he hugged his brother and ran off back the hallway.
"Alright time to head over to Rarity's." Sonic said as he grabbed the papers and boosted off.
