V.B... not only Shadow, Ghost, and Kai are trapped... so are Knuckles, Sonic and Maxie...

Ghost... have you read my review for the story 'The Year of Chaos and Madness'? You should...

Shadow sat in the office, his usual seat when he got in trouble... but, this time, he sat in the most important chair there was... the principal's. He stared outside the huge glass windows of the main office. It was 10:45 PM and they were still trapped in. At least that he was comfy... he touched the button of the P.A. System.

"Kai, did you find a way out?" he asked casually.

Kai... and Ghost... and Maxie... and Knuckles... and no Sonic!

"I can't believe teachers keep this in the teachers' lounge!" Knuckles said. He held a can of beer in his hand. In the other, he held his report.

"You didn't? Me and Kai always sneak here after school to do this!" Ghost said.

Kai then elbowed him. "Only on certain days..." she added.

"Yeah... whatever... Sonic! Did you find a way out yet?" Knuckles yelled down the hallway.

Sonic was using a torch to break the door down... with no hope whatsoever.

Kai and Max shrugged. "Want us to read our 10-page report to you guys?" Kai asked.

Knuckles nodded. "Okay... Ghost, you do it..." Kai muttered.

A smile formed on Ghost's face. "But... you typed it..." he mumbled.

Kai sighed. "Fine... here... the history of history started many, many years ago... people were not born yet... and this went on for ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and-"

15 whole minutes later...

"And ever and ever and ever until now... the end!" she said happily.

Knuckles and Max raised an eyebrow. "You realize you said the words 'and ever' for more than 9 whole pages?" Knuckles asked.

Kai and Ghost rolled their eyes. "Lemme see you do better..." Ghost said.

Knuckles took a deep breath and started reading their report. "How are newborns born? A stork? A gust of wind? Have you ever yet to notice that the paternal figure has helped with his own share of the bargain? The mater-" he was cut off by a snoring noise.

Maxie and Knuckles took their eyes off the paper to look at Ghost and Kai. The two were asleep, on the comfortable couches of the teachers' lounge. Max's left eye started twitching.

"Hey... they're both on the same couch... laying down next to each other..." Max whispered to Knuckles.

"So?"

"And... notice, Ghost's arms are around her..."

Kai was sleeping soundly with Ghost holding onto her tightly.

"Maybe he thinks it's his stuffed toy... I've seen him in bed with the thing..." Knuckles remembered.

Flashback... a night over at Ghost's place...

"Hey, Ghost? You still awake?" Knuckles asked.

Knuckles opened the door, it was dark but there was enough light to see Ghost holding a stuffed flamingo while he was sucking his thumb.

Knuckles raised an eyebrow and slowly closed the door.

End flashback...(I just HAD to... sorry, Ghost!)

"Hey... let's put permanent marker all over their faces!" Max said.

"No! I got a better idea! Let's put permanent marker... everywhere!" Knuckles said, holding 5 permanent markers in each hand.

He and Max laughed evilly. Suddenly, someone threw a brick at them and told them to shut the fuck up.

The two opened up all the markers and walked over to where the two lovebirds slept. They cackled silently.

Mwuhahaha! (cough... heh, heh...) Anyway, what do you think?

New game Shadow the Hedgehog coming out in late October or early/mid-November! (must get! Kick Sonic's ass with Eggman and the Black Arms!)
