THE PRANK: PT 3

XxXxXxXx

I lied about the wait. Sorry. I literally wrote this out while I was on break at work.

XxXxXxXx

Sonic turned the handle of the door and pushed it open. Before him was a metal desk and chairs, nothing else. Sitting behind the desk was Robotnik, with a large flyswatter in hand.

"I've been expecting you." Robotnik sneered.

Sonic gulped. "Really?" He held his flyswatter like a lightsaber.

"Let's make a deal." Robotnik continued. "If you win, you get to graduate along with all of the other seniors. If you lose, you will all be expelled!"

Sonic shrugged. "Either way, I win. I get to leave this place."

"You fool, you aren't thinking broad enough! If you get expelled now, you will never have a good career!" Robotnik bristled. "You'll have to be a fast food worker...forever."

Sonic shrugged again.

"I've wasted enough time!" Robotnik decided, jumping over the desk. "Let's duel!"

The two of them began an epic battle. Their flyswatters connected with the sound of cheap plastic straining as they attempted to...to do something. Maybe slice the other's head off? Flyswatters aren't that strong.

Robotnik performed a particularly nasty slash, breaking Sonic's 'weapon' off at the hilt.

"Aha, I've got you now, rodent." The principal sneered. "You and your little friends have no hope of a stable career now!"

"What are you gonna do with them? Don't make the rest of them suffer!" Sonic said heroically. "You have me, kill me instead!"

Robotnik shook his head. "I've actually got a better idea..."

The door opened and someone walked in. Sonic strained to see around Robotnik, finally gasping when he saw who it was.

"Cosmo?"

Cosmo avoided his eyes and instead said to Robotnik, "All of the troublemaking seniors are contained, sir."

"Good!" The evil principal grinned. "You have done well. How would you like to graduate a valedictorian?"

Cosmo nodded, but she didn't meet his eyes.

"Cosmo, no!" Sonic pleaded. "You're our last hope! Get out of here and free everyone!"

"Silence!" Robotnik shouted. He turned back to Cosmo again. "Make sure they do not escape."

"Yes, sir." Cosmo turned and left.

"...We're gonna die." Sonic wailed.

XxXxXxXx

"Cosmo, why?" Tails shouted through the gym doors. "Why would you do this?"

"I have to graduate at the top of my class!" Cosmo said from the other side. "It's the only way I'll get into the college I want!"

"There are other ways! Scholarships and grants!" Tails continued. "You don't have to be evil!"

"I'm sorry, Tails..." Cosmo sighed. "But I can't do that. Just stay in there and be quiet."

Tails let out a sob of heartbreak. Silver awkwardly patted his back. "It's ok, buddy. We can be forever alone together."

Tails took a moment to regain his manly composure and faced the crowded gym of panicky seniors. "Alright, everyone! We need a plan!"

No one calmed down. Silver took that moment to jump into the air and hover above the students, screaming very loudly, "EVERYONE, SHUT YOUR PIE HOLES!"

They did.

"Thank you! Now, we need a plan! Principal Robotnik has captured one of our fellow students! We need to save him and rid the school of this repressive regime! Who's with me?"

Most of the seniors nodded or muttered, "eh, sure. Whatever."

"Then let's get out of here!" Silver flew over toward an air conditioning vent and pulled it open.

Tails, Shadow, and Silver approached the vent, and one more person joined them.

"Blaze!" Silver gasped. "H-h-hi!"

"What are you stuttering for? Let's save the school!" Blaze declared, diving into the vent.

XxXxXxXx

"You can't make us all work in fast food places!" Sonic protested.

"I can try." Robotnik replied. "Your class doesn't have that much potential anyway."

Sonic gasped. "How...how DARE you! My best friend is dual enrolled and may end up skipping a year of college! How dare you say he doesn't have potential?!"

"He won't be able to pay to go to the state of the art college for the best of the best."

"You judge people by how much money they can spare on education?!" Sonic was appalled.

"Survival of the fittest." Robotnik sneered.

"This education system is horribly flawed!" Sonic shouted. "I'm going to lead the revolution! Viva la revolution!"

"Shut up." Robotnik growled.

A soft banging sound came from above them. They turned their attention up at the air conditioner vent, where the sounds seemed to be coming from.

"What is going on up there?" Sonic asked himself.

"Ow! Quit pushing!" The vent said.

"I'm not trying to!" The vent replied to itself.

"Those horrid seniors! They've escaped!" Robotnik hissed.

It was at that second that the vent broke, sending four people crashing onto Sonic.

"Sorry!" Tails said.

"Ow! I can't feel my face!" Silver whined.

"Get your finger out of my nose!" Shadow growled.

"There he is! Get him!" Blaze sprang up and pointed to Robotnik, brandishing a beaten up flyswatter.

Robotnik and Blaze began a fierce fight while the others converged together to make a plan.

"What should we do?" Tails asked.

"Uh...help Blaze?" Silver pointed.

"Nah, she's got it." Sonic said. "We can escape while Robotnik's distracted! If we don't leave soon, he'll force us to work at fast food joints and raise college tuition costs!"

"Oh, no!" Tails cried. "Hurry! Let's get out!"

"We can't leave Blaze!" Silver protested.

"She was a brave soul, but she chose to fight." Shadow said.

"WE CAN'T LEAVE B—"

It was at that moment that the door was burst open. Robotnik and Blaze stopped their fierce battle to see what all the commotion was about.

"Mr. Robotnik, I can't help you anymore!" Cosmo was standing in the entrance, looking furious. "I will not help you as you make us fail life!"

Standing next to her was Big, the security guard. He was holding handcuffs and a badge. "I was sent in as a secret cop! I have all the evidence I need!"

"Evidence of what?" Robotnik looked worried.

"Evidence that you are a horrible person!" Big snapped the cuffs on Robotnik's wrists.

"Cosmo!" Tails squeaked. "You saw reason!"

Cosmo sighed. "Yeah...sorry, Tails. I'll have to start looking for scholarships, then."

Big led Robotnik out of the room, leaving the seniors.

"We did it." Shadow nodded. "That was one hell of a prank."

"It was scary." Silver whispered. He turned his gaze to Blaze, who was snapping Robotnik's flyswatter over her knee. "Blaze?"

"What is it, Silver?" She asked.

"Uh...um..." Silver stuttered. "Y-y-you were r-really brave..."

"You too." Blaze agreed. "We make a good team, don't we?"

"Y-yeah?" Silver's eyes lit up. "Wanna go a-and watch a m-movie s-s-sometime?"

She shrugged. "Sure, I guess."

Silver gave an unmanly squeal and floated up to the roof doing flips in the air. Shadow facepalmed and walked out of the room, closely followed by Sonic, Cosmo and Tails.

"So, what now?" Tails asked.

"What do you mean?" Shadow asked.

"Do we get a new principal? Do we just go home?"

"Who cares?" Shadow continued on his way. "It's our last year of school. I don't care anymore."

XxXxXxXx

I'm really sorry about the really long wait. But here's the last chapter!

I hope you enjoyed my lame attempt at doing the romances.

Please leave a review!

Hasta la Vista, Readers!

BONUS:

"Let's get pizza." Sonic said.

"Why?" Shadow asked.

"Because we can." Sonic walked up to the pizza place's door and pulled it open. "I really want a pizza with lots of cheese and stuff."

"You're paying for it." Shadow sighed.

Sonic happily walked into the pizza place. "I want food!" he said loudly.

A large and evil looking man approached the cash register, glaring daggers at the hedgehog. "Sonic."

Sonic gulped. "Robotnik...fancy meeting you here, in a fast food pizza joint. How's it going? Any plans to take over the school again? I want a pizza with extra cheese."

"Coming right up." Robotnik growled.
