"Shadow? Wake up!" Sonic shook the vampire's shoulder in an attempt to wake him up. "Lunch is almost over."

"Pour some water or something over him, that'll wake him up." Tails suggested with a smirk.

"Sonic, don't do that, that'll only piss him off." Kris warned him.

"Great idea Tails!" Sonic laughed evily and got his thermos filled with ice water and unscrewed the cap. "Here we go!" He turned over the thermos over the sleeping hedgehog and dumped the water over him.

This woke him up.

Shadow jerked awake as the cold water hit him and the ice bounced off of him.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" He shouted. Sonic and Tails both were laughing their asses off to notice his reaction and Kris was just sitting there with her arms folded.

The black and red hedgehog tried to dry himself off with napkins all while trying not to get up and strangle the both of them. "Why did you do that?!"

"You were asleep man." Sonic answered and hugged Tails who smiled at his best bro. "It was Tails' idea though, if you're angry take it up with him."

Tails' expression changed from happiness to shock. Shadow started to growl at him and the fox quickly threw away his lunch. "I have to go!" He started to hurriedly power walk out of the cafeteria. "Sonic, I'll see you at home!"

Sonic started to throw away his lunch too. "I have to go too. Have a nice day!" He ran out of the cafeteria after Tails leaving Shadow and Kris sitting there in silence.

"Do you have a towel or a bath cloth or something?" He asked her. "These napkins aren't working that good."

The ghost wolf shook her head no and got up to leave. "I'm sorry, I don't."

"Damn." He replied. "Well, I guess I'll just have to air dry off." Shadow put his hands on his knees and pushed himself up to stand. "Oof! My back hurts."

"What did you do to yourself?" The ghost asked, she tried to remember what pain felt like so that she could relate to him.

Shadow stretched himself out and groaned. "I think I might have slept weird last day, or it might be that my age is catching up to me."

"How old actually are you?" Kris asked while starting to massage his shoulders. He felt tense there. "Is this a good spot?"

Shadow nodded. "Yeah that's a good spot. Keep doing what you're doing right there." He looked at her and nodded again in approval. "Do you really want to know how old I am?" He asked.

Kris nodded. "Yeah, if it's not too much to ask."

"I'm 16, that's all you have to know right now." He answered.

"Aww…" Kris pouted in disappointment. "I thought it was a huge number. You're no fun."

Shadow started to laugh. "I'm not telling you how many years I've been on this earth yet. It's a secret."

Kris got close to his ear. "I'll tell you how many years I've been dead if you tell me." She whispered.

"How about no?" Shadow pointed to his back. "Can you start working on my upper back?"

"Hey you two! Hurry up and get to class!" One of the lunch monitors told them. Kris stopped massaging Shadow's back and started to float. Shadow glared at the lunch monitor and made his way out of the almost empty cafeteria with his girlfriend. He suddenly had an idea.

He started to smirk and got Kris' attention. "Hey Kris, how about we skip class and go to the arcade or something?" He asked her.

Kris stopped and looked at him. "Shadow, I can't skip class. I have a test that we're doing a review over."

Shadow rolled his eyes. "It's a review, you can study some other time." He wrapped his arm around the ghost wolf. "Live a little."

Kris just gave him a look.

Shadow's smirk turned into a frown. He unwrapped his arm from around her. "Okay, whatever. Be that way, but I'm skipping…If you wanna come, you know where I am." The black and red hedgehog swiftly changed into a bat, gave her one last chance to follow. When the ghost didn't move he flew out an open window.

"Hey Sonic! Bet you wish you could do THIS don't 'cha?!" Jet hollered after school when they were going home for the morning. He pushed along with his skateboard and jumped onto a stair rail where he ground down it and jumped off of it. "But you're too big and clumsy!"

Sonic stood on the stairs and folded his arms. "AM NOT! Anything you can do, I can do better! And besides, when the sun rises I'll go back to normal and totally DOMINATE you!"

"Dominate?! Are you gay?!"

"NO!"

Tails waved his hand. "Sonic, you should choose your words more carefully in your head before you say them!"

"Aw SHUT UP!"

"I was just saying."

Sonic grabbed his skateboard and hopped onto it. "I'll show you!" He started to push off when one of the wheels fell off. "What? AW DAMMIT!" He got off of it and picked up the board and the wheel. He started muttering curses under his breath as he sat down on the bench where Tails was sitting. "Goddamn motherfucking cheap-ass board…"

Tails frowned. "It doesn't sound right when you swear."

"Then why don't you fix it?" Sonic growled.

"I will, just cool it."

Jet started laughing as he got closer to them on his skateboard. "You're too heavy."

"I know."

The demon hawk smiled at the werehog's misfortune. "I knew that I was better than you. It makes me happy to see you fail, but I'll be nice. What if, after you get a new board or whatever, we have a little competition? My squad Vs. your squad. What do you say?"

Sonic looked at the scrawny demon. "In what?" He asked.

Jet shrugged. "I dunno. Just something."

"I'm not in the mood Jet, maybe later, but not now." Sonic declined the offer. "I want to make sure it's fair game and that you won't cheat." He got up and stretched. "Go bother Shadow or something. Don't you have a grudge against him or something?"

"Are you scared I might beat you?" The hawk asked.

Sonic glared at him. "What did you just say to me? Me? Scared? Not ever."

"Then take my offer."

Sonic clenched his fist. "Alright! I accept! You just better have something in mind."

"Oh I do."

"What is it?"

"You'll see."

A yellow vampire hedgehog with brown hair popped up off of his pillow.

"Oh Shit! School started!"
