OMG I UPDATED!!! This was supposed to be up over a month ago. I so sowwy TT. Well, today I finnaly dragged my ass to the computer and finished it. For those of you who are waiting for 'Precious Find', wait just a bit longer cause I already started some of it. Sonic chars do not belong to me.

OOO

Sonic stood on the outside of Ms.Powell's classroom door. His foot tapped against the floor as he waited anxiously for Shadow. "C'mon where is he!" He took a glance at his watch.

Flashback

"Sonic!"

Cobalt ears twitched as a familiar voice called out his name. He turned around to see his best friend running towards him.

"Yo Tails! What's up?" Sonic said cheerfully.

The kitsune stopped in front of his best friend. He panted gripping his knees for support. "Hi..Sonic." Tails stood up straight wiping the sweat off his forehead. "Guess what! Ms. Powell assigned us a project!" Tails clapped his hand together and bounced with glee.

Sonic sweat dropped. "Um.. Tails. I don't want to disappoint you but I'm not really interested in projects and stuff like that." He chuckled lightly.

"But we get to choose our own partners!" The Young fox whined.

Sonic's ears perked up. "We get to choose our partners?" This had caught his attention. He and Shadow both have science together.

"Yea!" The fox nodded viciously causing his bangs to flop around.

"Hmm." Sonic rubbed his chin. A smirk crept onto his lips as an idea popped into his mind. " Kay. Thanks for the info Tails"

Tails smiled cheerfully. "Welcome! Bye!" He ran past the hedgehog and waved before disappearing at a corner.

End Flashback

Sonic tapped his foot impatiently and let out a frustrated sigh. By now most of the students were lined up outside the classroom waiting for the bell. "Where is he?" He muttered ,but was not heard by the rest of the students who were chatting away about their day. A few minutes later the sound of the bell rang through the school. Everything went silent as the students entered the classroom. Sonic stayed behind and waited for Shadow.

OOO

"Shouldn't we be in our class?"

Shadow asked tilting his head to the side slightly.

"The bell hasn't rung yet." Mephiles replied as he led Shadow down an empty hall. They were far away from their next class and it would take a while for them to get there. All of this was part of his plan.

"I think we should head back now." The ebony hedgehog said with worry as he turned around to leave.

Mephiles turned around and smirked. '3..2..1'

Ding Ding Ding

Shadow stopped walking and gasped. "We're gonna be late!" He cried out fearfully and dashed down the hallway.

Mephiles' smirk grew wider as he followed the other. He held his hand out and summoned a shadow. It slithered quickly like a cobra down the polished floor and leaped up at Shadow's knee.

"Ahh!" Shadow stumbled as he felt a searing pain in his knee. His injured knee was unable to support him so he collapsed on the floor.

Mephiles caught up with the injured hedgehog and kneeled next to him. A look of fake concern masked the devilish glint in his eyes. "Are you okay." He said as he wrapped an arm around Shadow's waist for support.

"I don't know." Shadow winced and held his knee. If you peeked under his jeans you would see the snake-like shadow coiled around his knee.

"I'll help you." Mephiles murmured as he slid his arm under Shadow's legs, though he couldn't resist touching Shadow's ass ever so lightly. He hoisted Shadow up and ran to their next class.

Mephiles slowed to a walk as their class came into sight. Shadow was surprised to see Sonic leaning against the wall. "Sonic? What are you doing here?" He asked. Sonic turned his head towards them.

OOO

"Shadow?" Sonic whispered quietly, his eyes widened when he saw Shadow in the arms of another man. He felt a stab of pain in his heart as he stared at the sight. That pain quickly turned to anger as he saw who was carrying Shadow.

"What did you do to him?" He hissed menacingly at Mephiles.

Mephiles shrugged. "I was just giving him a tour." Inside he was cheering with victory. "Shadow tripped and hurt his knee so I carried him here."

'Yeah right.' The azure hedgehog thought.

"I think I can walk now." Shadow whispered. He would've said it earlier but the hatred coming from the other two silenced him.

Mephiles nodded and set him down. They both entered the classroom and sat down in their seats.

"Boys! You're late!" Ms.Powell said with concern instead of anger. She wasn't the kind of teacher who scolded her students, but would show concern and care for the students.

"Shadow got held back by some things." Sonic muttered.

Ms.Powell nodded and pointed to the board. "We are going to do a little project that will benefit us and the students in middle school which means field trip!" The auburn mongoose danced on the spot with joy although the class didn't seem too pleased. "You will make up lesson to teach to the sixth grader about the ocean!" She giggled with joy and looked back to the class. "You will get to choose your own partners, 3 in each group."

As soon as she finished the sentence the entire class scrambled around to get the partners they wanted. Mephiles' and Sonic's eyes immediately darted over to Shadow who was looking a bit lost. Both of them jumped out of their seats and rushed over to shadow grabbing an arm. "MINE!" They screamed in eachother's faces and snarled.

Shadow blinked in surprise and stared up at the hedgehogs. "Wow. I didn't know you wanted to be my partner so badly."

Sonic and Mephiles glared at each other and pulled their desks over to Shadow. They never separated from eachother's stare.

"Now everyone has partners right?" Ms.Powell asked after everyone settled down. The class nodded. "I need one person from each group to come up and draw from the hat." She pointed to the hat on her desk.

Shadow was about to stand up when Sonic stopped him. "I'll do it." Sonic said giving a quick glare at Mephiles who stared back.

Sonic walked across the room and drew out a folded strip of paper from the hat and sat back down.

"What did we get?" Shadow leaned over and took the strip from Sonic's hands. The hedgehog trembled a bit when he took in Shadow's scent, his hand twitched when Shadow's soft hands brushed against his.

Shadow took no notice to Sonic's actions as he unfolded the slip of paper and scanned it quickly. "Hmm. It says we have to make up a lesson on life in the deep ocean." Sonic and Mephiles leaned in to look at the paper. "We get the rest of the period to gather supplies, organize the lesson, and get started if we have time." The hedgehog shrugged. "Sounds easy enough." Boy was he wrong.

Throughout the rest of the period Shadow was being pestered by his two partners. They were always saying 'Shadow pick this!! No pick this one it's better! Shadow do you like this color!' It annoyed him to no end.

By the end of class they hardly got anything done. Most groups had already started on making power points and posters but they only had the supplies ready. "Wow, we're really behind." Shadow mumbled as he left the classroom carrying some of the supplies in a bag. Sonic and Mephiles followed him.

"We'll have to come to my house and work on it." Shadow turned around to face Sonic and Mephiles.

"Your house?!" Sonic said with a surprised look.

"Sorry. Do you want it to be at your place Sonic?" Shadow asked cocking his head to the side.

The azure hedgehog shook his head. "No! Your house is great!"

Mephiles nodded. "For once, I agree with Sonic"

Shadow smiled. "Kay! See ya after school!" He turned and headed off to his next class.

"Yeah." Sonic and Mephiles both whispered before going separate ways.

OOO

Done! I'll probably update more cause I thought of a really good thing for this story.
