"I don't think asking him about it would be a good idea." Sonic warned the ghost hedgehog.

Kris turned around. "Why not?"

Sonic walked her inside. "Just trust me. It would be better if you didn't.

The hedgehog nodded. "All right. I won't…"

Sonic and Kris both went to their homerooms. Sonic sighed and went into his homeroom classroom. He went straight to his seat to find Storm sitting in his seat.

"Ah, excuse me? Storm, you're in my seat." Sonic informed the albatross. The gray bird looked over at the blue werehog.

"Hm?"

"You're in my seat." Sonic repeated.

Storm turned to him. "Who said this was your seat?"

Sonic began putting his stuff down. "Well I don't think you know this but I kinda claimed that seat a long time ago."

"Sonic, we're not five. We don't have to have assigned seating, but I'm sure the Elementary School will still accept you." Jet told him from next to Storm.

Sonic rolled his eyes. "Jet will you PLEASE tell him to get out of my desk."

"Nope."

BRRRIIINNNGGGG

Sonic let out a groan as the bell rang as the last of the students in his homeroom entered the classroom and the teacher entered from outside in the hall. Sonic didn't notice and was still standing up when the teacher caught him up out of a chair.

"Sonic, take your seat!"

Sonic looked over at the hyena. "I can't! He's in my seat!"

"Well then find a place to sit, we have to take roll."

The werehog looked around to try and find an open desk but there were no desks left for him to sit at.

"Sir there's no seats left."

The male hyena sighed. "Well then, you're going to have to stand for roll." He got up with a clipboard and started calling names out.

Sonic just stood there glaring at the Rogues with his arms folded.

Tonight, was actually the night Shadow had Home Economics as opposed to the night before. He had got his classes mixed up. That night they were working on sewing and were making pillows. The black and red hedgehog sat with a roll of measuring tape draped over his shoulders at a sewing machine, examining a piece of thread.

"Now I just gotta get this through…" He said to himself

He inserted the thread into the sewing machine and was about to turn it on when he was interrupted.

"Hi Shadow, good evening!"

"AUGHH!" The hedgehog jumped and cut his finger. "Amy don't do that!"

The pink hedgehog stood beside him with a smile on her face. "So what is your pillow going to look like?" She asked.

Shadow moved his hands to show her his pillow so far. It looked like a bat. "It's a bat pillow, I'm going to sew on buttons for the eyes and add extra stitching for the mouth." He told her.

"That's really cute Shadow." A voice from out of nowhere said.

"What the-?" Shadow looked around for the source of the voice.

Kris appeared on the other side of the table and laughed. "Did I get you?" She asked him. "I said that's really cute."

Shadow slumped his shoulders and looked at his sewing machine. "Oh, I forgot you were in this class."

Kris got up and walked closer to him. "Is there a problem with that?"

"Well," Shadow answered. "If I ever wanted to make anything specifically for you it would be hard for me to keep it a secret so it would be a surprise, for one thing."

Kris started smiling. "Awww! Really?"

"I said if."

It was no use saying that because both girls were now talking about how sweet of a vampire he was.

"Guys shouldn't you be working on your own projects?" Shadow asked them both. He looked back at his sewing machine.

"We're done for the day." They both answered and continued talking. "So have you been seeing all the cool decorations the council has been putting up around the school?" Amy asked Kris.

"I've seen them, and I guess they're fun, for what they're doing." She answered.

"Well, Silver and Blaze, I think are doing awesome with them. The school looks so spooky now."

"As opposed to how "spooky" it looks in general?"

"Well, it's more, Halloween-ish now. Is that a better word for it?"

"I would say. "

"Hey, did you know that Silver totally wants to take Blaze to the dance?" Amy asked.

"Oh Dark Lord not the dance again…" Shadow complained while stitching his fabric together.

The pink vampire turned to him and gave him a nasty look. "Nobody was talking to you, and I'll have you know that Sonic is taking me to the dance."

"I'm sure he is." Shadow said sarcastically.

"Shut up! He is! He told me he was."

"Did he? Or did you threaten him?"

Amy hissed at him and looked back at Kris. "Sonic is taking me. You and Shadow should go to. It would be fun."

Kris morphed into her wolf form. "I don't know if I want to go."

"You should!"

"It's alright Kris, I don't want to go either." Shadow answered.

"But you SHOULD It would be a great way for you two to get out." The pink hedgehog replied. "You two are so introverted. I think you both would be happier if you socialized more."

"Amy, do you know what introvert means? We're both much happier being by ourselves and doing quiet things." Shadow asked her.

Amy looked at the two of them. "You two are so depressing, you're perfect for each other."

"Why thank you Amy." Shadow said with a hint of annoyance in his voice. "Like people haven't told me I'm depressed before. I know!"

Amy hopped up from the table. "I said you were DEPRESSING not that you're DEPRESSED."

"Why don't you go work on your pillow?!" Shadow told her loudly.

"Shadow! No yelling in the classroom." The Home Economics teacher said. "Amy, stop bothering him and go sit at your desk."

Amy huffed and went back to her table for the rest of the class. When class got out she met Sonic in the hall.

"Oh Sonic!" She said while leaning against her locker. "I have a question for you!"

Sonic walked over to her slowly. "What Amy?"

"Do you think Shadow and Kris are depressing?"

He looked around to make sure neither of them were around before answering. "Well, yeah, but why are you asking me that?"

Amy stopped leaning on her locker. "Because I think they need a little help being social. Will you help me?"

"Amy, you can't force someone to be social."

"Of course I can!"

"Amy I'm sure your vampire persuasion thing doesn't work on other vampires." Sonic yawned and did the combination for his locker.

"I have other methods." She replied.

"Yeah?" Sonic asked as he got out his English textbook. "Why don't you just leave them alone?"

"Because I want them to be happy!" Amy suddenly hugged Sonic from behind. "I want everyone to be happy!"

Sonic looked at her. "You're so different from the other vampires here."

Amy released him from the hug. "I know! And I'm glad I am. They need a little sunny disposition in their unlives, and to stop being so hateful and gloomy. Living forever doesn't have to suck!"

Sonic closed his locker. "Heh, maybe you should start a movement or something."

That gave the vampire an idea. "Sonic! That's a fangtastic idea! Starting a movement to fight vampire depression!"

Sonic cocked his head to the side. "Fangtastic? What have you been-"

"Thank you Sonic. You have given me a wonderful idea! I'm going to find some posterboard and markers. I'll start at lunch. I have Art next so I can make posters there." She gave Sonic a hug again and snuggled into his fur. "I love you."

"I uh, love you too?" The werewolf told her, he didn't know what else to say.

Amy looked up at him. "You finally said it. And I have it recorded!" She held up a tape player that she was hiding.

"Amy—"

Amy suddenly broke away from the hug. "I have to go. Bye Sonic!" She turned into her bat form and flew off.

"That girl…"

Later at lunch Amy was all into her newly found "movement" and was standing behind a table with a sign that said:

Living forever doesn't have to suck! Help fight vampire depression for a happier future!

With pictures of bloody hearts all around it.

Shadow sat with Kris, Sonic and Tails.

"Ughhh what is she doing?" He groaned.

"She's fighting vampire depression, I guess." Tails answered. "The only thing is I don't exactly know why."

Shadow poked at his food with a plastic knife. "It's because she thinks I'm depressed. I don't know why she's prancing around with a big sign though."

Sonic swallowed the piece of meat he was chewing. "Uhh. It may have been because I said something to her as a joke."

Shadow gave him a disappointed look. "Of course it would be you!" He continued stabbing his food with the plastic knife. "I wish people would just mind their own business!"

"I'm sorry."

Kris put her arm around the irritated hedgehog. "Shadow, there's no shame in admitting you're depressed."

"I know there's no shame, but I want people to mind their own damned business about it. It's my problem, not theirs." He replied.

"Yeah, I mean," Sonic butted in. "She's just trying to help."

"I don't care."

"Sonic, what's your girlfriend doing over there?" Jet asked from another table.

Sonic blushed and growled at him. "She's not my girlfriend! And you have eyes, go look at the poster she's holding!"

The hawk looked over at Amy and her sign.

"Who's depressed?!"

"Shadow is!"

"SHUT UP SONIC!" Shadow yelled.

Jet got up and walked over to their table. "So what? The scary vampire is sad? Everyone gets sad. Get over it."

Shadow looked at him. "It's more than just sadness. And just go back to your table before I kick you there."

Jet didn't go back to his table but went over to Amy. It was too loud for their conversation to be heard but it ended with Amy in her bat form screeching and attacking Jet. The hawk ran back to his table.

"Your girlfriend is crazy!"

"Even though she looks nice, she's still a vampire you know." Sonic laughed and covered his face with his hand.

"Jet what happened to you?!" Wave exclaimed.

"That crazy vampire bitch just attacked me for no reason!" The demon hawk replied. "Stay away from her or she might go crazy on ya!"

Sonic rolled his eyes. "Yeah, for no reason…" He mumbled.

Silver suddenly came running towards the table. "Sonic! Sonic! Do you think Blaze would like this!?" He held up a sketch of the purple witch cat that he had started in his and Amy's art class. "Amy said it was good but I know that you're really good friends with her so I want your opinion."

Sonic looked at the sketch. "Are you going to color it?" He asked.

The zombie hedgehog nodded. "With pastels. So do you think she'd like it?"

"Well, yeah, if you work hard on it." He answered.

"Yesssss!" The zombie hugged the werehog and sat down at the table. "So, what are you guys doing?" He asked.

"We're trying to make Shadow feel better." Sonic answered.

"Oh…I think I just remembered I have something to do." The zombie got up again and took a few steps backward. "Bye." He started to run out of the cafeteria.

Sonic just stared at him. "What did you do to him Shadow?"

The vampire didn't answer because he had fallen asleep.
