Thank god! Finally. As I remember, last year I wanted to get Grammarly but the downloading took way too long which nearly drained my battery percentage for 20 minutes. This is why I couldn't get Grammarly and had to do it without it. But now with the help from my trusted friend from Twitter, she gave me the courage to try again, and finally, the downloading took 3 minutes to complete and I have finally got Grammarly so those annoying outsiders don't annoy me with 'improve your grammar' every day. It is just annoying, pressurizing, and nearly way too far to bash.
Even if I wanted to correct all my fan stories, I'll just have to do Royal High School story instead. Think of it like my stories with grammar issues are last year. This year, Royal High School will be different and improved. The old me with grammar issues are in the past. Now with Grammarly, I can finally try it on new upcoming fan stories for the future. Right now I fixed the previous chapters with Grammarly.
So far, Grammarly only works with fanfiction site, Wattpad, and other sites, except Deviantart because my friend and I guessed that it's because of the Eclipse layout.
Remember, NEVER pressure people like me to improve something that we are not ready for. All it takes is patience or maybe years for us to come around. But if you're not patient and you do something way too far to destroy them, there is no future for them. So please don't use brutal force to force them. Because eventually they'll never trust you nor take your advice again. How long did it finally take for me to improve? Over a year.
(Sonic's POV)
I was face-chatting with Sally on my iPad in my dorm room while Amy is at the other building downstairs at the spa and salon area hanging out with the girls.
"So far it's nice to see my old friends again. They missed me a lot for 7 years. Hell, even Shadow missed me so badly." I said to her on my iPad and she giggled a bit.
"Shadow of all people? Sounds like he couldn't find a new rival." Sally said.
"Yeah. I thought he hates my guts but I guess he admits that no one is like me and he can never replace me." I chuckled.
"That's Shadow for you. Your friends missed you a lot. Ever since my father transferred me to a new school, I wanted you to attend my old school so nothing happens to my classmates getting tormented by Scourge and Fiona. I tried telling mom to expel them but she won't listen to anyone. I hoped one day she listens to you if something happened." Sally said.
"I can see why we broke up so we can have a different life. I'm not upset but I respect your life, Sal. I just hope you're okay if someone else is my new girl sooner or later." I said though I feel worried if I'm doing the right thing.
"I don't mind as long as you make her happy. I might find someone for me too." Sally smiled.
"Thanks, Sal. But still, I just hope one day a new guy makes you happy. You know I want you to be happy." I said with concern.
"I understand Sonic. I'm proud of you so far." Sally said.
"Thanks. Anyways, the guys are waiting for me. I'll talk to you later. Hopefully, I'll find a way to stop Scourge and Fiona from making everyone feel tortured and miserable." I said.
"Good luck Sonic," Sally said before hanging up.
"Okay, time to get my body relaxed," I said to myself.

I arrived at the spa to see Tails and Knuckles at the spa while Shadow and Silver are getting a massage by female humans.
"Sooooo good." Silver groaned.
"Hey boys. I'm happy to see you feeling relaxed without me." I said and removed my robe to join in the spa.
"Yeah, whatever." Shadow briefly looks up.
"It's great for you to join us." Tails said.
"Man, where have you all been in my life?" I asked in a cocky tone.
"Further than you could have known," Shadow replied sarcastically.
"Sounds like you miss me as your only rival." I laughed.
"Maybe." He rolls his eyes.
I snickered at how difficult it is for him to be honest by admitting the truth. I relaxed a bit in the spa while talking to my pals; they sure have grown so fast since the last time we saw each other. I do remember Tails solving math quickly, he sure is a smart guy. Knuckles is always the gullible echidna but he has fists and muscles that make him solve the situations by brutal force.
"So Shadow, I hear you need me as your Basketball Captain. Why not yourself as one? You do have ways to get big boys' attention with your scary glare." I asked while warming up in the bubbling warm spa.
"Because you know more about using strategies in basketball than I do" Shadow said.
"Define my strategies," I asked in a teasing way to annoy him, even if he looks relaxed while getting his back massaged.
"Let him be, Sonic. Least we guys need to chill for a while." Knuckles said.
"You know me as the cocky hedgehog that likes to tease anyone. It makes me laugh and laughing helps me stimulate my fast-beating heart." I snickered but he's right.
"Right." Knuckles nodded.
"And they say laughter is the best medicine." Tails said.
"Everyone needs a laugh in their life." I chuckled.
"Yeah. You could've been a jester and king at the same time one day. Well, entertain yourself." Tails laughed.
"Perhaps but I am the king of the wind and speed. That's my ego." I said, shutting my eyes to relax.
(Amy's POV)
The girls and I are getting our nails painted and our faces creamed up along with cut-up cucumbers for our eyes. I just simply watch the girls while waiting for the cream on my face to be done in maybe less than an hour.
"Thanks for letting me hang out with you, girls. I never got to hang out with anyone except with Hex. She likes to suntan a lot to keep her body temperature stabilized because she's a cobra." Nebula said, applying purple nail paint on her nails.
"Well, you know coldblooded creatures need to warm up unlike us," Rouge said.
"Speaking of warming up, I hope tomorrow is a gorgeous sunny day." Cream said, getting her toenails painted in orange.
"I sure hope so," I said while my toenails are painted red.
Hex came out of her suntan bed wearing a robe and joined us by sitting on one of the salon chairs to get her face creamed up and with cut-up pickles to cover her eyes.
"So, how are you ladies doing? You all feel relaxed." Hex said as she applies green cream on her face.
"Just the normal chatting and stuff," I said.
"Alright. I've just warmed my body up." Hex said.
"You wish to be a mammal with a warm-blooded body?" Nebula asked as she finished applying her nail coat.
"Well, I would love to." Hex replied.
"You're my best friend, Hex. I like you just the way you are." Nebula said.
"Thanks" Hex smiled.
I laid back and thought about Sonic. I wonder why Sally wanted him to be free as the wind. I mean she did tell us her stories of being with Sonic. But ever since her father transferred her to a different school, she gave me a promotion to be cheerleader captain. I'm gonna miss her very much.
"So, Amy. Since Sonic is back, do you think he might move on with you?" Blaze asked, brushing her tail.
"Ummmm…. I don't know." I shyly said.
"Come on, our little Rose. You've been all lovey since you were young. You like him so much." Rouge said, getting her wings massaged by massagers while waiting for the cream face to dry while having cut up cucumbers on her eyes.
"Well, I sure was clingy as a little kid. Often chased him and squealed his name in Japanese." I said, thinking of my past. I'm just glad Sonic does not hate me for giving him tight hugs those days.
"Say, Nebula. You and Shadow are getting along well as roommates. Has Shadow ever been dark and arrogant to you?" I asked.
"Well, he just wants to be left alone but does not mind if I talk to him." Nebula said.
"He never talks to anyone but himself. What made him feel interested in you?" Rouge asked.
"He and I probably have something in common with our lives, I guess. Like trust issues for example." Nebula shrugged.
"Fair point, hon. Shadow always has trust issues all the time. He prefers to trust himself to handle problems. He and I used to go on adventures but he likes to do things his way instead of teamwork." Rouge said.
"He must know that working alone can result in his defeat," I said.
"That's why I let him be, hon," Rouge said.
"He should be happy having friends," I said.
"I can tell he's happy in his way behind his glare. But he just likes to be what he is the same way I am too. Sometimes emotional scars are like having something to be forced to live with." Nebula said.
"Indeed." I nodded.
"I have been thinking. Silver has no place in sports but he told me he wanted to help us out with cheerleading. What do you think, guys?" Blaze asked, applying magenta nail paint on her nails.
"Blaze are you sure?" I asked.
"What does he know about that?" Cream asked.
"I know he's naive but he likes to see people happy and help us out. As Nebula said, anyone has a way to boost school spirit. It's all about equality." Blaze said.
"Then let us give him a go," Rouge said.
