A/N: So here it is, the long awaited Shadow/skirt chapter. It's in two parts, because I combined two chapters. It doesn't make any sense I'm warning you. Thank you for requesting to be in the Sonic College, I'll be sure to add you to the register. Well, here goes.

Ch8: Odd outfits

PART I: Manic Monday

"Instead of our normal lessons today, we will be rehearsing" the teacher announced.. "Signo go and get the costumes"

Signo went out and came back with a huge pile of clothes. "Signo will be helping you get into your costumes" the teacher ordered. "Who would you like first?"

"Well, the girls' stuff is over there – I'm sure they're capable of getting ready themselves; err, Miles Prower since he's top of the pile." Signo requested, the little fox stood up and followed her into the box room at the back of the classroom.

"Signo!" the teacher yelled "the Chorus?"

"Your desk!" She shouted back and went to see to Tails. When the twin tailed boy had reemerged – his normal t-shirt and tracksuit bottoms had been replaced with a flowing red dress tied round the waist with a strip of orange fabric.

"Ha!" Vector laughed mockingly.

"VECTOR!" Signo shouted from behind the door. Vector stopped laughing and trudged into the room. When he came out he was considerably happier. He was in a long white tail coat, black trousers, silver waistcoat and white top hat; he looked like a rather rich sleaze.

"Knuckles!" Signo yelled. Now, when he came out – he wasn't impressed. He was wearing a stripy grey dress, grey cardigan, a black and grey turban thingy with a bunch of gray hair sticking out complete with a grey beard and mustache.

The rest of the brothers, Zak, Funny, Stalker, Mousey, Flip, Jay, Spikey, and Rocky, apart from Sonic and Espio went in and came back out again.

"ESPIO!" Signo shouted and he went in the room and simply stood there idiotically. Signo glared at him. "You have to get undressed, coz there's no way I'm doing it for you."

"Oh" he said, taking off his t-shirt, jeans and completely irrelevant tie. Signo pulled him towards her so she could reach him, but his boxers fell down to his ankles; which then made Espio trip up and fall on top of the already shocked Signo.

"You two ok in here?" Sasha asked whilst opening the door. Her eyes widened as she saw Signo and Espio lying on the floor together. "I'll let you two sort it out yourself!" she shouted, slamming the door as she hurriedly got out. It was only until a few seconds later that Signo and Espio realized they were ling on the floor with Espio's boxers round his ankles.

Within five seconds they had realized, scrambled up, Espio had pulled up his boxers and those anime sweat drops had formed on their brows.

"Sorry" Signo blushed "I like your boxers, they blend in don't they?" 'Oh god, what a dumb comment' Signo thought, mentally kicking herself.

"Err, yeah" Espio blushed, he didn't think he would ever be discussing the color of his boxers with Signo – apart from in his stupid daydreams.

"Sorry" Signo blushed harder. "I just…" Espio smiled and she looked at him then looked down "oh, forget it". Espio grinned to himself. She put on his outfit: a bluish grey dress with a black waist tie and a turban hat thing that hung down the back of his head in black. Signo motioned for him to go. "Err, Shadow!" she yelled.

"What happened in there?" Vector whispered, but Espio had no time to answer; as he was dragged away by Kyra and Sasha. Vector followed them all into a quiet corner of the classroom.

"What the hell was happening in there Espio, I saw you two lying on the floor!" Sasha demanded.

"What did you do?" Kyra yelled.

"NOTHING!" Espio yelled back, desperately trying to hide his blush. "NOTHING HAPPENED!" then he stomped off.

"I think you best find out Vector" Kyra requested.

"His boxers were down" Sasha added sternly. But then something else caught her attention. And that something else was Shadow. He had come out with his costume on, which was a gold plate round his neck and shoulders encristed with blue jewels over a bare chest and a short toga like white skirt with gold trimmings. Now, this is Shadow the hedgehog - ultimate life form we're talking about. In a skirt. I don't think there's any need to tell you he wasn't all that comfortable. Now this skirt - the girls had taken a liking for it. it was quite tight and err, you can guess. Then Signo rushed out and dragged Shadow back into the room. When she shoved him out again he was Egyptian style blue eyeliner and a blue Elvis wig. (don't ask me how he got that on)

"HE'S GOT A BIG ONE!" Lilly yelled, as the girls crowded round him.

Sonic wandered into the room where Signo was waiting. "Ha! Poor Shadow!" Sonic chuckled.

"It's called getting my own back Sonic" Signo muttered under her breath.

"What did you say?" Sonic asked, turning to face her.

"Err, you have to wear one too" Signo said hurriedly.

"WHAT!" Sonic yelled.

"Not yet though, in the Potiphar and Pharoah scenes - at the moment you're wearing a cream dress " Signo explained. Sonic turned white. He slowly took off his pants and t-shirt and put on the dress. Signo tied the grey tie around Sonic's waist tightly. Then she got out the bright coat of many colors and put it in Sonic's arms. "Don't put it on yet, just carry it and give it to Knux".

Signo followed him out and everyone was ready in their costumes.

"Erm, Miss" Signosaid, whilst grinning at Shadow - who did not seem to mind his skirt now he knew Sasha liked it, for some reason unknown. "I have an idea for what we could start with..."

PART II: Practice Perfect

"And what would that be Signo?" the teacher asked.

"Should we start with the Song of the King?" Signo grinned.

"Yes" the teacher smiled "Maybe we should!" she turned round "Shadow - we are starting with your solo!"

Shadow went up onto the stage and stood on the platform. The music started. "Pharoah is in the building!" he yelled in his stupid accent, then he he started singing. "Well, I was wandering along, by the banks of the river - when seven fat cows came out of the Nile, ahaha." he sung into the gold and blue mic - he sounded exactly like he was suppost to, like na Elvis impersonator. " Oh yeah! And right behind them fine healthy animals came seven other cows, skinny and vile, ahaha! Well the thin cows ate the fat cows which I thought would do them good, ahah! But it didn't make them fatter like I thought a monster supper should, oh no! Because the thin ones were as thin as they had ever, ever been. This dream has got me baffled, hey Joseph, tell me what it means!" It carried on like that until it came to near the end. "Hey" girls screamed "Hey" some more girls screamed. "Hey, hey, Joseph won't you tell me what this crazy, crazy, crazy, crazydream really means? OOOOHHH YEAAHHHHHHHHH!" at this part Shadow started playing air guitar for some reason.

"Very well done Shadow!" the teacher congratulated, clapping. "Now we will run through the whole production - with me as the narrator since she isn't here"

"Oh no" Vector said. "She's a terrible singer".
