In the last version of this story there was another semi-plot before this one but it seemed to center around Liz and that isn't really the point of this story so in this version it has been skipped. Hence the chapter numbers are all screwed up.

Chapter 23- School Uniforms

It was Monday morning and everyone had their new uniforms on and were standing in the living room feeling miserable. Except Liz who was still in her room.

The girls' uniforms consisted of a white blouse, a plaid skirt, stockings, and those ugly black dress shoes that strap over your foot… ugh! That's just wrong! Oh well, the boys' uniforms consisted of a white dress shirt, a black tie, and black pants with black dress shoes… DEAR GOD! THIS IS JUST WRONG! Oh well. Anyway, they all stood there complaining, especially the boys because they never wore clothes and complained about being hot and itchy.

Hannah was screaming about having to wear a skirt and Amy was upset that she could no longer sport her new gothic look at school.

Then they heard a door slam and Liz came sliding down the banister and landed in the living room and struck a pose showing off her uniform, "Well, what do you think?" she asked.

They all stared at her… not only was this type of behavior strange for her… but she was also wearing a boy's uniform. And not only that, but the sleeves of the shirt were pulled up, she had a red ribbon tied around her ponytail, she had wristbands on, and her shirt front was… partially unbuttoned on the top… which was also very strange for her.

Nobody said anything for awhile, then Sonic screamed, "AH! IT BURNS!" and ran from the room.

"Liz… you do know that's a boy's uniform right?" Shadow asked.

"Of course I do, stupid!" Liz said, dropping her pose.

"And you do realize that you look like… well… a…" Tails stuttered.

"You look like a slut." Rouge finished.

"That's the point you idiots!" Liz said angrily, "I'm going to show those idiots at the school board that just because you make us wear uniforms doesn't mean they can stop us from dressing inappropriately!"

"By yourself? They'll just suspend you." Rouge said.

"Oh contraire, I have followers. Many, many followers. Why do you think I was online all last night?" Liz asked.

"Actually we didn't notice." Hannah said.

"Well, I was IMing and emailing people to tell them and most of them replied and said they were in." Liz said.

"Did she button up her shirt yet?" Sonic called from the kitchen.

Shadow got an evil grin on his face, "Yep!" he called.

Sonic looked into the living room and screamed again and ran out, "DAMN YOU SHADOW!" he shouted.

Shadow started laughing.

"Whatever." Liz said grabbing her backpack which was suddenly there, "Lets go!"

They all went out to the bus stop and Sonic had his hands over his eyes.

As they got on the bus they realized just how many people Liz had spoken to.

Almost everyone had their uniforms screwed up in one way or another. (one of the boys was even wearing a girl uniform) (A/N: One boy in my school actually wore a skirt one day. It was hilarious!)

Liz smiled and went to the back and sat with Komodo and Mel (Dana was not on their bus) who were glad she was back to normal and were all wearing boy uniforms too.

Sonic and the others sat at the front of the bus staring at other people's outfits.

"Are we the only ones not in on this?" Amy asked.

Sonic shrugged, "Hopefully. The more people the sooner we won't have to wear these uniforms."

Shadow came up behind Sonic and pointed to the back of the bus where Liz and her friends were sitting, "LOOK! PANCAKES!" he shouted.

Sonic looked back drooling but then screamed, "DAMMIT SHADOW! STOP DOING THAT!"

Homeroom…

Liz, Komodo, Mel, and Dana were all sitting at the front of the class so the teacher would see what they did with their uniforms.

The teacher came in and saw the girls, "Girls, why are you wearing boy's uniforms?" she asked.

"Because we can." Liz explained standing up, "According to the letter you sent us with the new dress code, we had to order a uniform. Not a uniform designed for a specific gender. It also didn't say how we had to wear it."

"Well…" the teacher stammered, but she realized Liz was right, "…you ladies should have used more judgment. What is so wrong with the girls' uniforms?"

"Liz –insert middle name- -insert last name- does not wear skirts." Liz said folding her arms across her chest.

"Well… you'll be hearing from the principle about this!" the teacher said storming over to her desk. Then she looked around at the class and realized just how many kids were wearing their uniforms differently.

The teacher stared for a moment, "This is unacceptable!" she cried, then she ran from the room and to the principle's office.

Sonic sat in the back with his hands covering his eyes and mumbling swear words.
