Sonic the hedgehog presents: Maria Robotnik's return
Chapter 4 first day of school
"Shadow? Shadow?" Maria asked the sleeping hedgehog.
"What is it Maria?" he mumbled as he turned his head.
"It's 7:30" Maria said, Shadow's eyes snapped open.
"Oh sugar honey iced tea! We're going be late!" Shadow yelled as he jumped out of bed and into the bathroom to brush his teeth and get ready for school.
"Shadow come on" Maria said as she walked out of his room and waited for him in the kitchen.
"I'm coming!" He yelled as he ran into the same room and crashed into Maria, he landed on top of her and the two blushed.
"Sorry Maria" He apologized.
"Its okay" She replied as the two got up "Come on we're going to be late for school".
"All right let's go" He said as the two teleported themselves to Mobius.
Later…
"Hey Shadz!" Sonic said as he, Amy and Tails walked up to them in the school's hallway "How's it going?"
"We were almost late for school and I and Maria landed on each other" Shadow replied with a frown "How do you think its going?"
"There's the original Shadow we all know" Tails said with a smile.
"Come on let's get to class" Sonic said, the five entered the class room where the other students consisted of Knuckles, Rouge, Mighty, Shade, Espio, Scourge, Gemerl, Cream, Charmy, Jet, Wave, Liam, Silver, Blaze, Marine and Fiona. The five greeted their friends and sat down for class.
"Good morning class" A familiar voice said, Vector turned around with glasses' and faced the class "Todays lesson is on the Louisiana purchase and how it affected the American people".
"Vector is a teacher?" Maria whispered to Amy.
"Yeah and he thinks that wearing glasses is going to make him smarter" She whispered back.
"F.Y.I. it doesn't make him smarter" Shade whispered back to Maria, Maria giggled at the response.
"Hey Hottie" Scourge whispered to Maria.
"Go away Scourge" Maria said "You're annoying".
"Can't resist me huh?" He joked as he tried to talk to her but was caught by Vector.
"Scourge! Whispering in class huh? That's detention after school mister" Vector sternly said, Scourge groaned.
"Thank you Vector" Maria said.
"No problem kid" He replied "Now in the Louisiana Purchase began in 1803 when the French and Americans stated all land should be-"Maria tried to pay attention but she looked to see Shadow was glaring at Scourge.
"He's just wants me safe" Maria thought to herself "After all he did think I was dead".
Later in P.E….
"Alright class I want to see you all run around this track ten times then do push-ups" A muscular physical education teacher said, the boys groaned while the girls stared dreamily at the teacher. Although Knuckles and Mighty were excited to do the exercise's P.E. was a nightmare to most boys but Sonic didn't mind track running, after all he was the track running captain.
"Hey Shadow are you okay?" Silver asked Shadow who was thinking about something and was snapped back into reality.
"Yeah I'm fine" He replied.
"Thinking about Maria?" Silver asked.
"Yeah" Shadow replied.
"Aw I knew you were sweet on her" Silver said and he stated to imitate two people kissing "Shadow and Maria sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
"SHUT UP SILVER!" Shadow yelled as he punched the white hedgehog.
"OW! I WAS JUST KIDDING!" He yelled.
"Just cut it out" Shadow said.
"Shadow why did you do that?" Maria gasped as she saw what happened.
"I-I don't know Maria" He replied.
"I thought you hated violence" Maria said.
"Wait? Shadow hated violence? That doesn't sound right" Mighty said.
"He only fought when he needed to defend me and my grandfather" She said, Shadow suddenly shook his head and tried to and make sure he didn't have any more temper slips again.
"I'm sorry what happened Maria" Shadow said as he ran next Maria.
"I don't it's me you need to apologize to" She said as she pointed to Silver.
"Fine" He groaned and ran up to Silver, Maria started to wonder what happened to her best friend during the last 50 years. Had he really always been this mean since he thought she was dead?
"No problem Shadz" Silver said after Shadow apologized for what he did to him.
"Thanks Silver" Shadow said "Hey Silver can I ask you something?"
"Yeah what is it?" Silver asked.
"You and Blaze are going steady right?" Shadow asked.
"Yeah why?"
"It's just that when I saw Maria as a hedgehog I sort of developed a…" Shadow tried to say the last part but almost coughed when he tried to say the word.
"Crush on her?" Silver asked.
"Yeah that" Shadow said nervously as he blushed.
"Dude you are looking at a ladies man here" Silver said as he waved to Blaze "I can help you get Maria to like you".
"And how are you going to do that?" He asked Silver.
"You'll see" Silver said as he grinned.
"I don't think I'm going to like where this is going" Shadow said to himself.
At lunch…
The students were enjoying their Lunch's and talking about anything from movies to how their weekend went, Shadow was sitting next to Maria and talked to her about life back then on the ARK. Across the room Silver and Blaze were ready to put Silver's plan into action.
"I don't know Silver" Blaze said as she shrugged.
"Don't worry Blaze this is sure to work" Silver told her "Come on time to put the plan into action" the two walked towards Shadow and Maria.
"Hey guys" Blaze said.
"Hey Blaze" Shadow replied.
"Hi you two must be Silver and Blaze" Maria said as she shook their hands "Shadow's told me about you guys and crisis city".
"And you must be Maria" Blaze said "Shadow's told us about you".
"Especially about your beautiful hair, eyes and face" Silver "At least that's what our buddy Shadow's said". Shadow blushed and tried hard not to let his temper get the best of him.
"Why thank you for complimenting me Shadow" Maria said "That was really kind of you".
"Your- your welcome" Shadow said nervously.
"You know Maria Shadow has been thinking of you a lot lately" Silver said.
"Yeah it's just because I'm still alive" Maria said as she put her arm around Shadow "He is my best friend".
"And I really care about her a lot" Shadow said.
"Hey um… The principal said he wanted you two to grab your backpacks from your lockers" Silver said "You know just for safety checks".
"Guys I'm not carrying any weapons in case Egg man attacks the school again" Shadow.
"Wait? You were carrying weapons? Shadow!" Maria said.
"Never mind that!" Shadow said "Come on let's get our backpacks and take them to the principal" The two walked away while Silver and Blaze ran the other way.
"So why do you think the principal wants to check to your backpack again?" Maria asked Shadow in the hallway "Besides the weapons you used to carry that is".
"Something tells me he still doesn't trust me with no weapons" Shadow said, Sliver and Blaze were waiting for the right moment to put the final part of their plan into action.
"Ready?" Silver asked her.
"Ready" She replied.
"Alright now!" Silver said and the two ran towards Shadow and tried to push him closer to Maria.
"Hey what are you two doing?!" Shadow yelled.
"Trying to get Maria to like you!" Silver replied, the two pushed Shadow onto Maria where their lips met and after two seconds the two broke the kiss.
"Why the heck did you two do that!?" Shadow furiously yelled at Silver and Blaze.
"That was my plan to get her to like you" Silver nervously replied.
"Well I didn't know you would do that!" Shadow yelled as he raised his fist to try and hit him.
"Hey don't hurt him! It's not our fault we figured out you had a crush on Maria!" Blaze said as she blocked Silver.
"Y-Yeah you told me remember?" Silver asked nervously.
"You had a crush on me? For how long Shadow?" Maria asked as she smiled, Shadow scratched his head and smiled at her.
"Well since you turned into a hedgehog" He lied, the truth is he always a crush her since she was a human.
"Shadow don't you lie to me" Maria said "I know you've had a crush on me longer than that".
"Okay! I've always had crush on you are you happy?" Shadow yelled at her.
"Yes" Maria replied as she held his hand.
"We'll just leave you two alone now" Silver said as he and Blaze walked away, the bell rang and class was back in session.
"Better get to class". Shadow said as he and Maria walked to next period "What do you think of your first day of school?"
"Even better than I can imagine" Maria said as she kissed him on the cheek.
"Best day of school" Shadow thought to himself.
Chapter 5 coming soon.
