My… 36th story? And… no, I'm not taking any OC's… sorry! Just read and enjoy…

And… if anyone knows a member of The Board of Education… please refrain from reading this near him/her… 'kay?

Ghost… belongs to ghost the hedgehog… Maxie belongs to Max Taylor… and Kai belongs to me! (duh!)

"Kai… we've been researching ever since school ended!" Shadow said.

"Well, we need a good grade! This is 50 percent of my final grade!" she screeched.

"You mean our final grade…" Ghost said.

Kai rolled her eyes and shook her head. "School ended at 2:30 PM… and it's only 5:45 PM…" she said. "So, stop whining!" she yelled at them.

They were in the middle of the library. Shadow was on the computer searching on the internet… while Ghost was reading a few of the many encyclopedias there were and Kai was watching the History channel.

"Damn! Why'd Rouge have to assign a history report? I'm not good with history! I'm not even from this time period!" Ghost said loudly.

"Well, it's a 10-page essay… and writing isn't my best subject!" Shadow whined.

"Shut up! I need this grade to pass!" Kai said.

"No you don't… Rouge favors you… you're the best writer in our class… and… you're a writing student tutor… remember?" Shadow asked her.

Kai sighed. "Fine…"

The library door opened up. Three other people came in… Knuckles, Sonic… and Max.

"No way! You got the same thing we got? We have to write about the… the…" Max stopped talking and shook her head. "Never mind…" she muttered.

"C'mon… just say it… we're going to present it anyway…" Knuckles said quietly.

Max sighed. She then mumbled something the other group couldn't hear.

"Say wha-?" Ghost asked.

Knuckles shook his head. "The reproductive system!"

Kai and Ghost jumped from the shock. "Oooookkkkaaayyy…" they said in unison.

"Well, we need a 10-page report on the history of… history!" Kai said.

Suddenly, the librarian walked in. "Okay, children… remember… the library will close in a few minutes… you have to leave…" she said nicely.

All six of them nodded. She left and they started going around the library, finding information for their projects.

"Why did Vector have to assign a project… right before spring vacation?" Knuckles asked.

Kai looked at the calendar, noticing that tomorrow would be the first day of their 7-day break.

A few minutes later, Kai typed up the last of the project and printed it out. She looked over it a few times before handing it over to her partners to see.

"Done! Finally! A 10-page report... in 4 1/2 hours!" she said.

Her group followed her out the library doors.

"Bye, Maxie!" Shadow called out.

The three started down the unlit hallways... only one light was lit after every 5 feet. When they got to the doors, Kai pulled and it didn't budge. The door was locked.

"Oh shit! They locked us in school!" Ghost yelled.

"But… there's no school for a whole week!" Shadow said.

Kai's mouth hung open. "No way... in school... alone... for a whole week?" she asked breatlessly.

Ghost, Shadow and Kai exchanged glances. "Nice..." Ghost whispered.

That's it for now… R+R!
