So I kinda just lost motivation for a month? or however long I didn't update this for. lol
perhaps it's that I found this fanfic I wrote 6 years ago... and I cringed to death... maybe
If the pronouns don't make sense it's cause I originally wrote the whole thing in first person and I decided to change it to third person so if something says "I" blah blah blah, it's supposed to be Silver.

"Espio!" a white hedgehog called out to the purple chameleon on the other side of the lab. "GET ME AN APRON AND A PAIR OF GOGGLES TOO BRO!"
"WHAT SILVER?!"
He groaned before opening his mouth again. "GOGGLES AND APRON!"
"OKAY!"
A sigh escaped the 5 quilled hedgehog's mouth as he continued filling in the long worksheet the teacher; Mr. Robotnik had given out earlier (A/N: Cliché Dr. Eggman is a science teacher in a Sonic high school AU moment). The purple chameleon walked over with a spare apron and a set of goggles, handing them to the hedgehog. He put the equipment on with another sigh and went to grab some beakers.
Silver was almost halfway there before he realized that he could have just used some powers he knew he had to get them. It was such a shame that he was unable to figure out how…
As he neared the cupboard where the glassware was stored, a blur of green could be seen rapidly making its way to the boy. Quickly jumping out of the way with sudden panic, he nearly knocked down a shelf full of textbooks and encyclopedias.
"HEY!" the students near the area where the green blur had passed by turned around to see Mr. Robotnik at the other side of the lab. "YOU CAN'T RUN IN THE LAB SCOURGE!"
The green hedgehog made a face at the bearded man across the room. "Whatever Gerald". (A/N: SIKE Y'all thought it was Eggman)
Silver got away from the bookshelf and growled at Scourge as he passed him, resisting the urge to punch him for almost making him fall with all the power vested in him. The green hedgehog growled at Silver as the white hedgehog raised a finger, the middle finger of course, which thank Chaos, the teacher didn't see. He sighed. This was going to be a long class. But Chaos he wanted to punch him.
(1 hour later)
Silver waved goodbye to Espio, plugging in a pair of earbuds to drown out the annoying ass voices of the 14 year old dipshits in the hallway. Why on Mobius did they have to put the science lab beside all the grade 9 classrooms? Fortunately for him though, half of the grade 9 class was on a field trip somewhere to the war memorial, leaving only half the normal amount of them little dipshits present. Thank chaos!
The white hedgehog strode down the hallway, stuffing his hands in the pockets of his oversized gray hoodie with an emotionless pout. He was already halfway to his locker upstairs before realizing that he had forgotten to hit play again when he inserted earbuds. Wow, so much for drowning out the noises of those 14 year old dipshits! Luckily by then, they had all dispersed, leaving the hallway noiseless.
"Fabian!"
That sweet, soft voice could be recognized anywhere. Don't get Silver wrong though, he didn't feel that way for her, nor would he ever, given that he saw her as a sister, but that was definitely a trademark of hers. If the male hedgehog didn't recognize the voice it would've been obvious that it was her, since he only allowed her to call me that. He turned around to the pink hedgehog calling out to me. "Sim Amelia?"
"Hi Silver!" a cream colored rabbit next to her waved to him.
"Hey Cream," he waved back at her with a smile and approached the 2. "Gente, onde almoçamos?"
"What?"
Oh right. The white hedgehog reminded himself that Cream didn't speak Portuguese. "Where are we eating?"
"Science lab?" Amy suggested.
Silver groaned. "Dude you could have just told me to wait there. I just fucking walked all the way to the other end of the school for nothing!"
Cream tugged on Amy's arm and pointed to a nearby door. "Let's just eat in the music room".
The pink hedgehog shook her head, reacting suspiciously fast to what Cream said. "Anywhere but there! Let's go to the science lab!" A couple of heads turned towards us at Amy's outburst.
Silver shot her an annoyed glare. "Fine Amy! Jeez..."
She said nothing, only letting out a sigh of relief.
Que aconteceu de caramba?!
~~~
"Amy!" Cream continued nagging her on the whole way to the science lab. "What's wrong with the music room?"
The pink hedgehog glared at the rabbit. "Minha nossa Cream I literally just told you, I just don't want to eat in there!"
"You never had a problem eating there before Amy," the 5 quilled hedgehog noted.
"Can we just stop talking about that?" her irritated voice rung out once more.
"Sheesh okay..."
A long 5 minutes of a certain pink hedgehog's bitching later, the trio finally arrived back at the science lab. Although Silver wasn't too fond of the idea of seeing Mr. Robotnik walk by every 2 minutes nor was he too happy that he had just walked all the way to the other end of the school for nothing, it was better than hearing Amy's bitching, no offense to her.
"You know what?" Silver turned to the 2 girls beside him. "I've had enough of Mr. Robotnik for today. Can we please go somewhere else Amy?"
She rolled her eyes and glared at him. No.
Cream complied, setting her things down on a workbench and pushing the chemistry paraphernalia aside.
"Amelia..." the male hedgehog stared down a bit. "Você precisa me dizer o que aconteceu!"
"Fabian," she put her hands on his shoulders. "I know you care about me as if I am your sister but..." she looked towards her feet. "Não posso te dizer agora..."
He sighed. "Fine Amy, you need to tell me at some point. Like you said, you're like my little sister and…" he trailed off. "…It pains me to see you like this. De verdad. Me duele mucho".
She nodded, pulling a small tupperware out of her backpack. He took out a thermos from his bag and set it down next to Cream's things on the workbench.
Silver whispered a "fuck" as he accidentally poked himself with the fork he was looking for at the bottom of my bag, causing Amy to giggle.
He aggressively stabbed the fork into the spaghetti in my thermos and continued to pick at it, feeling a bit lazy to lift the fork up to my mouth and eat.
"Chill Silver!" she laughed. "What did the food do to you?"
"Oh shut up Amy!" he snarled back at his friend. "Or- or-" he paused to think for a bit. "I'm going to have to start teasing you about that blue hedgehog!"
"Blue hedgehog?" Cream turned to us, clearly super fucking clueless. Sorry Cream. "What about her brother?"
"You know what Cream how 'bout let's just not talk about this okay?"
The white hedgehog dragged his feet into his English class for the 5th time that week and trudged to the back of the room where he always sat, also where the only plug outlets in the class were located. The teacher was Chaos knows where and the rest of the class was nowhere to be found either, thank Chaos. he didn't really mind the teacher, even though he gave us 4 essays on the first week, but quite a large majority of the class were those kids. The ones with the chains, talk like they're from a ghetto or something even though they're not. Silver wasn't the only one that disliked (okay, maybe strongly hated) them. At least some people still have common sense.
He pulled his laptop out and plugged in his headphones, neglecting to pay attention to the environment around him, as he often did in class. Silver's stomach grumbled loudly, but he didn't really have an appetite. Fuck this english class with everything that can fuck for draining his ever dwindling energy.
"Silver?"
The video he was watching continued to play as he continued to ignore whoever was calling his name. Whenever someone in this class did that, something stupid happened. He had to learn that from Scourge the hard way after a mere 3 and a half days into the semester. Ugh he groaned, just thinking about him made his stomach twist.
"What do you want Scourge…" Silver replied with as low energy as he could possibly muster up.
"Dude! It's me!" the white hedgehog turned around and came face to face with the blue hedgehog he was teasing his best friend about an hour ago.
"Oh hi… it's Sonic is it?"
"Yeah… do you have like, a history with Scourge? You seemed pretty… annoyed," he noted.
"Oh," Silver turned back towards his laptop screen. Thank chaos Scourge dipped this block. "It's nothing..." he waved his hands around. "Sit down".
He pulled the chair next to me out from under the table and threw his stuff on the ground next to the table. "So… what do you think of the school, your classes, all that?"
Great! I don't want to answer this question… Silver thought. He continued to stare at his laptop screen, and mumbled a quick reply. "They're alright I guess".
The white hedgehog looked up and noticed that he had turned his head towards a small group at the other side of the classroom. "Those are the debate club kids… I don't know if it's them or those wannabe gangster kids with the Buddah playing a guitar pants that I ha-"
The blue hedgehog cut the other male off with a light chuckle. "They seem like an… interesting bunch".
"Oh sure they're interesting," Silver slammed his laptop shut and laughed back. "They turn everything they hear into an argument. I am pretty sure the word you were looking for was annoying".
"Nah," he lounged back on his chair. "I think I'll try talking to them. They seem alright".
"Do as you please," he flipped his laptop open again. "Just don't get pissed when you get destroyed by Sally Acorn". Silver gestured towards the auburn furred squirrel who stood on the table, probably yelling some outrageous political statement.
Silver noticed the blur of blue leave the corner of his eye. He sighed and went back to the word document in the other window and stared at the page for a while before he furiously tapped down a few words, ignoring the increasing sounds of the rest of the class trickling into the room.
Tap. Click. Tap. Click. He looked at the string of letters the screen before switching back to the window with the video.
"Actually…" a voice boomed out, interrupting him once again. "I've decided that your essays are due next week".
他媽的… I just furiously typed all that for nothing while I could have just… I don't know… done some other shit? Maybe work on that novel I was writing? Yep. I'm writing a novel… Don't know what it's going to be about yet though. Silver growled in frustration silently.
"Anyway class," he glanced up to the teacher, a tall blue hedgehog with a mustache and glasses. "I've decided that I'm just going to give you guys a work block today".
Thank Chaos. I guess I'll just watch a movie for the rest of the class.
"Fabian!"
Holy Chaos someone was mad. "What Eleanor?!" he yelled back to his adoptive sister. Lady you need to calm down. I just got home and you're already yelling at me?! What the hell!
"Silver! Where were you?! Why are you back so late!"
"Bunnie, you need to relax," he growled at the rabbit with a metal leg, putting extra emphasis on the last word. "I went grocery shopping".
She rolled her eyes. "Okay I am calm!" you don't sound calm sis. "Just tell me next time!"
"Yeah okay…" the hedgehog placed the bags down on the counter and began taking the different packages out. "What do you want for dinner?"
"Duuuuuude, I want a burger, and some fries".
Silver groaned. "Okay then, you better go get it yourself cause I sure as hell am not going out again!"
"Vai foder-se" Really Bunnie!?
"Back at you too sis…"
A growl emitted from my adoptive sister's room down the hall. "FINE I'll go get the food!"
"Bruh…"
"Come with me then," she nagged. "I don't know what you want".
"Fine," Silver rolled his eyes. Se aller a la merde. (A/N: Big brain moment)
"Fucking hell Bunnie, I even came here to get the food with you, why the hell are you still so pissed?" Silver complained to his sister, sliding into a dimly lit booth near the front of the room.
"Holy Chaos, Silver I-," Bunnie rolled her eyes as she got cut off. "Hello? Who is this?"
The white hedgehog picked a menu up and ran his eyes through the page. "What do you want Eleanor?"
She raised her finger up to her brother's face and continued yelling into the phone. "No! I already fucking said no!" she turned to him and quickly scanned the menu. "I want #15 with NO ONION!"
Silver stood up and began making his way towards the counter, but not before muttering a curse word under his breath at his sister while Bunnie continued screaming into her phone. "No, I don't want to go on a date with you! Was my answer earlier not clear?!"
He glared at her to be quiet before turning back to order the food. Holy Chaos she could get pretty crazy at times, and it drove him insane too, but no matter what, she was his sister, even if they were not biologically related. Their foster parents had both gone out to get milk or something so they HAD to have each other's backs.
Silver pulled his phone out and began to play on it, so as to avoid periodically glancing across the booth at his pissed off adoptive sister, which would have done nothing but add to her frustration and anger. Nobody wanted to deal with a pissed off sibling. When the gaming got boring, he stuffed his phone back into his pocket, turning his attention to the ticking of the clock hanging on the wall opposite him. Imagine how bored you would have to be to be staring at a fucking clock. The food obviously wasn't going to come in the blink of an eye. That shit took time. He had already gone through all the games he had on his phone, and there was no way he would be willing to download that alien murder mystery game that all the kids at school were playing called A... he forgot the name, but it was irrelevant to him.
Just as the white hedgehog was about to turn to the rabbit sitting on the other corner of the booth, as he had run out of things to do while waiting for his and his sister's food to arrive, potentially pissing her off again, the ringing of his phone became his saving grace. He glanced down at the rectangular screen with a green and a red button to check who was calling. Amy. Smiling, he lightly tapped the green button and held the device up to his ear. "Hello?"
"Oh, hi Fabian!" the cheerful voice of his friend rang out.
"Hello Amelia," he replied using her full name. "Have you eaten yet?"
Before Amy could answer, another fainter voice, but definitely a scream, was heard in the background. "Vem lavar a louça!"
Amy chuckled. "Well, there's your answer Silver. What about you? Have you eaten yet?"
Silver grunted. "My sister wanted a burger so we're at the joint around the corner. I'm still waiting for the food".
The white hedgehog glanced towards the counter to see that the waiter was walking towards their table with 2 burgers as the sound of the tap running became audible. "Never mind, the food is here".
"Is it alright if I call you later Silv? It's kind of inconvenient for me to be doing the dishes and holding my phone at the same time".
"Uh..." he paused for a moment. "Yeah sure. I have one quick thing to ask you though".
"Oh ok," the nervousness could be heard in the female's voice. "What is it that you want to ask me?"
"The music room".
The other end of the phone became so silent you could hear a pin drop. Amy let out a sigh after a long minute of staying silent. "A minha mãe tá aqui agora. Vou te falar mais tarde".
The white hedgehog took a bite of his burger and let out a quiet growl in annoyance. "If it's something that happened to you, I think it would be best if Cream heard it too".
"Yeah..." the pink hedgehog on the other end stuttered. "Até mais tarde".
"Bye Amy," he clicked the red button on the screen and placed the screen side down on the table.
The hedgehog and the rabbit ate in silence once they both hung up their phones, not wishing to disturb one another and/or to piss the other sibling off without the intention to do so... maybe. Bunnie had quite the tendency to get pissed at Silver for no reason at all and sometimes, vice versa, but it was mostly her that got angry.
Bunnie sat in the corner by the wall, flipping through a novel, occasionally reaching to the plate in front of her for a fry or a bite of the burger. Silver on the other hand, had already finished his food and took out a Rubik's Cube, mindlessly pushing the different colored sides around. He concentrated, not on the puzzle in his hand, but instead thinking about the last time he actually sat down and had a proper meal instead of just grabbing a slice of toast or a fruit from the kitchen counter before flopping down on the couch like he did normally.
Silver tried even harder to remember the last time he shared a meal with his sister. Although they would always be home at the same time, they rarely even ate at the same time let alone the same thing. The only time they would dine together would be if something happened with one of them or if it was a holiday. The white hedgehog turned his head towards his sister, who was still reading that same novel she had been reading, with the intent to steal one of the fries on her plate.
"Bunnie?"
Silver quickly pulled his hand back to avoid a telling off from his sister before turning his head in all directions to find the source of the voice.
Bunnie looked up too and her emerald eyes came locked on the auburn furred squirrel at the other end of the table. "Oh, hi Sally!"
"Is that Silver?" Sally leaned forward and peered up to the face of the 5 quilled white hedgehog in the booth.
Bruh. "No, it's Shadow," he replied as seriously as possible before hearing the chipmunk stifle a chuckle. "Well, hello to you Sally," he grumbled.
"Hi to you too Silver," she replied before she slid down in the booth opposite to Silver, next to Bunnie and began chatting. About what, that was irrelevant to Silver. He was still waiting for his friend's call. Also, he could really care less about what his sister and her friend were talking about.
The white hedgehog pulled out his phone again, obviously bored out after turning the Rubik's cube for the past 10 minutes. He paused for a brief moment, staring blankly at the ceiling before he turned his head towards the entrance of the diner at the jingling of the bells when the door opened.
He tapped the green circle on the screen. "Hello Amy? You wanted to talk?"
"Oh yeah," that same slight nervousness and unease in her voice could be felt through the phone. "Hang on, give me a moment. I'm going to my room".
Silver sighed and took a sip of his drink. "Take your time". The hurried footsteps of his friend blasted through the speaker along with the laughter of a young child and more quieter footsteps.
Amy's loud panting rang through the phone. "Woo I'm here".
"Speak".
"Oh right!" she suddenly burst out. "Before I forget, what was I going to say again?"
Silver mentally facepalmed. "Beats me. You should have remembered".
"Heh," Amy chuckled. "Right! I remember now! On the 23rd of December, or whenever, I am planning to have a get together so uh, are you down to come?"
"Of course!" Silver's mood brightened. "Who else is going to be there?"
"Hmm," the pink hedgehog went silent to think for a moment. "Well, my mom and my brother of course".
The white hedgehog chuckled before commenting "no shit sherlock," bringing out a laugh from Amy as well.
"Anyway," she stopped giggling. "You, Cream, Big, Sticks, and maybe Sonic?" her voice got a little high pitched at the end of her sentence. "I haven't talked to anyone besides you and Cream about it yet though".
Silver smirked. "I see what you are planning. That is quite big brain of you. Actually, that is extremely big brain of you to do that".
"Vai foder-se".
"I love you too, no homo of course".
A growl emitted across the speaker. "I. Am. Not. Doing. Anything!" she deliberately put extra emphasis on the last word.
Silver rolled his eyes and reached across the table to steal one of Bunnie's fries which for whatever reason, she still had not finished even though they had already been in the restaurant for almost an hour at this point. Before he could get to them though, she harshly swatted his hand away, earning her an annoyed but soft whimper from her brother. "Anyways... besides doing that, what else are you up to right now?"
"Well," the other end of the line went silent for a moment once more. "Not much actually. We just finished dinner and I just did the dishes. Mr. Nack didn't give us any homework and my other classes are all electives so I'm just chilling, listening to music. Oh my gosh that reminds me! Did you listen to Cardi B's new song yet? What was it called?"
"Who is Cardi B?" Silver raised an eyebrow. "I surely would have heard of them considering I listen to pretty much every type of music there is".
"Never mind. She isn't uh..." she trailed off. "Let's just say that she doesn't have as much popularity here in Mobius as she has where she is from".
As Amy was replying to his question, the 5 quilled white hedgehog was trying to find out who this 'Cardi B' was that his friend was so hyped up about. He typed the name into his phone, only to get an error saying there were not results. Weird.
"Yeah..."
"Anyway, the other day I found out that Shadow has a little brother!"
"That's interesting..." Silver nodded. "How come we never knew before?"
"I don't know. I found out by chance. Apparently, he lives in-" Amy was cut off by another faint voice.
"Vem aqui Amelia! Can you clean up the flower petals in the hallway por favor?"
"Sorry Silver I have to go again!"
"Oh yeah... that's fine. Just text me okay? I'm pretty much always free... except when I'm sleeping and when I'm not free of course".
Amy chuckled. "Alright loser. Talk to you later. My mom seems quite pissed about the flower petals. I better go now before my ass gets whipped!" she added, a little too cheerfully sounding to Silver.
"Bye Amy..."
*Lenny face*
