Later that morning Sonic found Knuckles and Shadow just right about kill each other in the hallway.

"What's up with you pushing me into the pool this morning?!"

Shadow smirked and put his hands in his pockets. "I wanted to know what would happen if your bolts got wet. It was for science."

Knuckles clenched his fists. "Like Hell it was!" He pushed the vampire, sending him staggering back.

Shadow got the message. "Ok, so you wanna go, right now?!" His eyes started to glow red.

"Guys! No! Can we please not to this now?!" Sonic got in between the two and kept them from hurting each other.

"Sonic, get out of the way!" Knuckles shouted.

"No! You two need to chill! Shadow, you shouldn't have done that! Knuckles, you're not dead!"

Both of them looked at the werewolf.

"You're lucky Sonic was here to save your ass Knuckles, because I would have mopped the floor with you right clean." Shadow threatened and started to walk away.

"Are you running away?" Knuckles asked. "Wow."

"I'm not running away! I'm just letting you live!"

"Stop!" The blue werewolf repeated.

Knuckles growled and pushed Sonic away. "I could have handled that…" He started to walk away also.

Sonic sighed. "What am I going to do with them?"

"Sonic!" Amy's voice came ringing through the hallway. Sonic turned around so he wouldn't be spooked when she came up behind him.

"Sonic, I have something to ask you!" Amy asked as she walked toward him.

Sonic scratched his neck. "Uhh…What is it Amy?"

The pink vampire smiled and held up a flyer for the dance. "I just wanted to know if you're going to go to the dance this Halloween, and if you're talking a certain someone."

Sonic suddenly got nervous. The moment the dance was announced he knew this was coming.

"Amy, I don't plan on going just yet. I have basketball to practice for that day…"

Amy frowned. "Sonic, how do you know that? Halloween is three weeks away. You're just making excuses! Are you going to take me to the dance or not?!" Her eyes started to glow a bright red.

Sonic knew to choose his words carefully as they could determine his physical fate for the next few weeks.

"What I meant was, I don't know if I have Basketball practice on Halloween, and if I don't I will think about going."

"You'll think about going?" Amy asked.

"Yes, I will." He answered.

The pink vampire suddenly went from scary to normal, cute and bubbly, her eyes changed back to green. "Okay! I'll see you later my handsome wolfy. Gotta go to class~" She skipped away from him down the hallway.

Sonic watched her go. She might be different from other vampires, being cute and sunny, but she still had her scary side. It was a good thing that she wasn't allowed to bring her giant hammer with her or else there would be really big issues on campus.

After everyone's second morning class it was finally lunchtime at around midnight. Kids flooded into the cafeteria to ensure they got a seat at the tables they wanted to sit at. Sonic, Tails Shadow, Silver and Amy sat at a table all together and were talking.

"So how are you and Blaze doing with the decorations and stuff Silver?" Sonic asked the zombie hedgehog who was poking at his cafeteria glop.

"It's going well, it's just I really want to ask her to the Halloween Dance but…"

"But what?" The blue werewolf asked.

Silver made a weird noise. "It's because I'm a total chicken. I get way too nervous, and whenever I have time to tell her and courage I always get interrupted by something." He said quietly.

Amy took the silver hedgehog's hand. "Just tell yourself that you can do it."

"But what if she says no?"

"Silver, you're a sweet guy. If she says no I'm sure that there's another girl who wants to go to the dance with you."

"Well, it's possible…Thank you Amy." The hedgehog smiled as best he could with his slacking jaw.

"You're welcome Silver." The pink hedgehog went back to her lunch.

"Yeah Silver, you'll find someone eventually, or you could be like Shadow here and lie about it all the time." Sonic added while pointing his thumb at Shadow who was eating a blood brownie.

The black and red hedgehog glared at the werewolf. "Hey!" He said with brownie still in his mouth. He swallowed his bite and continued talking. "I'm not lying! I do have a girlfriend!"

"Then what's her name?" Sonic asked.

"Well, I'm going out with…" He tried to think of someone. "Uhh…"

"Any day Shadow."

The ghost wolf from before floated past without any food, because ghosts don't eat, to a round table that had no one sitting at it. That gave Shadow an idea.

"I'm going out with her over there." He pointed to the ghost wolf and the rest of the table just looked at him.

Sonic looked behind him at the ghost. "You're going out with Kristina? Since when?"

Shadow folded his arms. "Since last Tuesday." He lied.

Sonic blew air out of his nose. "But I thought you hated wolves?"

Shadow looked at him like he was stupid. "No, I don't hate wolves, I'm not fond of werewolves, but I hate you."

"Then why do you sit with us every day? " Amy asked.

He didn't respond to that question.

Sonic had enough of this. "If you two are together than why don't you go talk to her?"

Shadow got up from the table. "Maybe I will."

"Good, now go." Sonic replied.

Shadow bared his fangs at him and proceeded to go over to the table where Kristina was sitting by herself reading comic books about a hedgehog teen that had contracted spider powers from a radioactive spider bite. He sat down next to her and peered over his glasses at what she was reading.

"What are you reading?" He asked.

The female ghost that now had shapeshifted into a crimson hedgehog wearing black skinny jeans, a black t-shirt, black boots and a black rose choker looked up from her comic in surprise that he was talking to her. "What?"

"What are you reading?" Shadow repeated.

She looked down at her comic book to double check for some reason and answered.

"The Amazing Spider-Hog."

Shadow nodded. "Neat."

Kristina looked back at the table where Sonic and the others were watching. "Why did you come over here?" She asked.

The vampire hedgehog smiled. "Well, I wanted to know if you would like to go out, with me."

The crimson ghost started to blush if it was possible. "You're asking me out? Why?"

The male hedgehog looked around before answering. "Don't tell the others this, but I think you're very pretty with that crimson hair of yours." He wasn't lying her short, but curved quills were beautiful to some, for Shadow, it reminded him of blood. "Can I touch it?"

"No, but you can look at it." She answered.

Shadow nodded. "And your awfully kind, not like this douche." He pointed to himself and laughed.

That comment on himself made the ghost chuckle. "But how do I know this isn't some dare?"

Shadow leaned in. "What if I proved it by talking you over there." He pointed to the table where Sonic and the others were sitting.

"…Okay?"

"Great." Shadow got up and they both went over to Sonic and them's table. "Hey guys, look at this."

"Oh, so you have got a girlfriend." Sonic commented very sarcastically.

"Yep."

"And we guess this means that you're going to the Halloween Dance now?" Amy asked.

"We don't HAVE to." Shadow replied. "It all depends on whether she wants to go or not."

"I don't have any plans to." Kristina said quietly.

"See?" Shadow added.

"This isn't some dare, is it?" She asked them.

"Nope. Not at all." Sonic answered. "Shadow wanted to do it."

Shadow nodded. "Out of all the girls I could have chosen and I chose YOU. You should feel special."

If Kris could blush she would have been blushing. "Why thank you."

The vampire smiled. "You're welcome."

"Well Lunch is almost over." Sonic commented on the time. We should get going." He got up and threw his trash away and headed out the door, the others, except Shadow, followed him. Shadow and Kris walked out of the cafeteria together. Shadow rubbed his jaw.

"My face hurts from all that smiling, Satan bless!"

"Then don't if it hurts," Kris replied. "I don't smile a whole lot either, I just look tired and sad all the time, mostly because I am."

Shadow looked at her. "Well we have a lot in common then. What class do you have next?"

"Chemistry."

"With who?"

"Mr. Wallaby"

"Oh, him, I had him last year."

"I hate Chemistry."

"Me too."

Shadow adjusted his backpack on his back. "Well, see ya later."

Kris waved to him as he left her. "Bye." The crimson hedgehog started to float off to her next class when she was stopped by Amy.

"Can I talk to you for a sec?" She asked.

Kris nodded. "Sure Amy, what is it?"

Amy took her to a corner of the lunchroom and leaned in close to talk to her. "I just wanted to tell you that, if he hurts you, I will hurt him for you."

Kris looked at her, unsure of her words. "Amy, you won't physically hurt him, right?"

Amy didn't answer her directly. "Well nobody is saying I won't but, us girls have to stick together. Kay?"

Kris slowly nodded. "Okay…"

"Good." Amy started to smile again. "Com'on we need to get to class, walk with me."

The two hedgehogs went out of the lunchroom and went to their next class.
