Our Senior Year
Chapter 12
"Is that all?" The orange echidna asked, "Sarah is done, you know." Knuckles nodded, and placed the last box to the car. Sarah smiled at the kids, and went to grab her keys. She nodded, and went inside of her car.
"Yup, that's it for my house." Sarah said, smiling at the old house, "So many good memories, I wish that it didn't have to end." Tikal smiled at her mother. Knuckles then closed the trunk, and went inside of the car.
"So mom, when does Julie-Su be meeting us?" The red echidna asked, "Will she be at the new smoothie store?" Sarah turned her head, and looked at her son.
She nodded slowly, and grabbed her phone. "Yeah, I'll call her right now to see if she will be there." Tikal rolled her eyes, and looked over to her step-brother. She knows that Knuckles had a crush on Julie-Su, but he likes Rouge as well.
Sarah turned on the car, and went towards the new store. After a few minutes, they saw a pink echidna wearing a jacket. She smiled, and waved at them. Tikal and Sarah waved at her back, but Knuckles started to blush and was stuttering.
"Hey guys," Julie-Su said, smiling at them, "How about going in and tell me what's new." Tikal and Sarah started to smile at her, and went out of the car. Knuckles nodded, and got out of the car lastly.
"Thanks for tutoring the kids, Julie-Su." Sarah told her, "It's nice to see that you helped me with the arena." Julie-Su nodded, and flexed her arm.
"It's always a pleasure, ma'am." She said, smiling proudly, "I have worked out too." Sarah nodded, and motioned everyone to the smoothie. The orange echidna nodded, and went in the smoothie store.
Knuckles just froze there, and looked at his mom. He nodded quickly, and wandered off towards Tikal's direction to get a smoothie. The pink echidna blinked, and started to giggle. "I think I'm going to like him." Julie-Su said, smiling at her boss, "I'll see you later."
Sarah waved at Julie-Su, and saw the three teenagers going to a table. She smiled, and went towards their way to get the new smoothie.

Few Days Later
"Three days by now..." Blaze said to herself, sitting on the kitchen table, "I'll never see Silver again until graduation..." She looked down at her phone, and went to her ringtones. She and Silver made a song to each other in the past for a Talent Show, and maybe Silver would like to hear it when he misses her.
She smiled at the memories, and turned the volume on her phone, and started to sing the lyrics.
In the night-light, do you see what you dream?
All your troubles, are they all what they seem?
Look around you, then you may realize
All the creatures saw with the light.
And I might know of our future,
But then, you still control the past.
Only you know if you'll be together.
Only you know if we shall last!
She smiled at the song, since she made up the lyrics and Silver did the melody. I hope Silver will like this song. Blaze thought, as she began to sing the other part.
In the night-light, do you still feel your pain?
For the valor you waited, never came!
If you were able, would you go change the past?
There's a fireball with one last chance!
And I might know of our future,
But then you still control the past.
Only you know if you'll be together,
Tonight!
Cause every night I will save your life!
And every night I will be with you!
Cause every night I still lay awake,
And I dream of an absolution!
Cause every night I will make it right!
And every night I will come to you!
But every night it just stays the same,
In my dream of an absolution!
Amy was walking towards the kitchen as she heard Blaze singing. She looked at the lavender cat, and waited until she finished the song. Wow, she's good. Amy thought, smiling as her friend was singing with so much power.
In the night-light, do you see what you dream?
All your triumph, and all you'll ever be?
Look around you, then you may realize,
Happiness lies trapped in misery!
And who knows what of our future?
We can all try to change the past.
Only you know if you'll be together,
Tonight!
Cause every night I will save your life
And every night I will be with you!
Cause every night I still lay awake,
And I dream of an absolution!
'Cause every night I will make it right!
And every night I will come to you!
But every night it just stays the same,
In my dream of an absolution!
The song was now to the instrumental, Amy had to admit it, whoever wrote the song and lyrics were good. Rouge came back from her trip, and opened the door. She then heard music, and saw that Blaze was singing.
She looked at her feline friend, and started to tip toe towards the pink hedgehog, and hearing Blaze's angelic voice with the music.
Cause every night I will save your life,
And every night I will be with you!
Cause every night I still lay awake,
And I dream of an absolution!
Cause every night I will make it right,
And every night I will come to you!
But every night it just stays the same,
In my dream of an absolution!
And you'll see (And you'll see)
What you'll be (What you'll be)
And you'll see
All you can (All you can)
And every night (And every night)
And every night (And every night)
And every night (And every night)
I will dream (I will dream)
And you'll see (And you'll see)
That this is my dream (What you'll be)
And you'll see
Every night
I will always dream (Cause every night)
And every night
And every night
I will dream (I will dream)
Blaze finished the song, until Amy and Rouge started to clap for her, until the lavender cat turned her head towards the two of them, and started to blush. "That song is so sweet," Amy said, smiling at her friend, "Better than my song." Rouge nodded.
Blaze then got up from her chair, and was stuttering. "This means nothing! I swear! S-Silver made the song a-and I just m-made the ly-lyrics!" Amy and Rouge gave Blaze a sly smile, which she then started to blush more.
"It's so nice," Amy said, "Who's it for?" Blaze looked at the pink hedgehog, and started to calm down a bit.
"It's for Silver, for when he leaves, he can bring the song with him so that he won't forget that he still has a girlfriend." Blaze explained to them, crossing her arms. "I'm just hoping that he won't forget about me."
Amy and Rouge nodded, until the pink hedgehog turned her head, and saw the white bat. "When did you came here?" Amy asked to the bat. Rouge looked at Amy, and you could tell that she was the tallest of the group.
"Well, I just came back from seeing an old friend," Rouge told them, "Apparently, he's stronger than I thought he would be. He's quite smart too, and he took me out shopping!" She held up a gift card, which had a thousand dollar sign on the left corner.
Amy and Blaze looked at the card, and stared at it wide-eyed. "You went to a shopping spree?!" They asked at the same time. "I've been always asking for Sonic to go one!" Amy exclaimed. Blaze nodded.
Rouge smirked, and put her thousand gift card on her pocket. "And you wouldn't believe how much I spent, though I'm putting it on my parent's house so that once I see them again, my new stuff will be in my room!"
Amy nodded, and started to sigh. "Your so lucky, that you got a guy that can actually give you a shopping spree without worrying how much it is-"
"Who is this guy?" Blaze asked, interrupting Amy, "I want to meet this guy, so that if he ever has a brother, I can lure him in to get in a shopping spree myself." Rouge chuckled nervously as the pink hedgehog glared at Blaze.
"Well, like I told you guys before, he doesn't go to out school, but he's nice." Rouge told them, "I remember back then in elementary school that he would always stand next to me to bullies." Amy nodded, until Blaze was elbowing her.
"More like sexual harassment." Blaze joked, starting to laugh as Amy rolled her eyes and Rouge glaring at the lavender cat. Rouge crossed her arms, and started to sigh.
"What I'm trying to say is, his name is Omega." Rouge told them, "He's a robot, but also a great friend of mine since back then." Amy nodded, and Blaze groaned.
"I have to date a robot to go to a shopping spree?" She asked to herself. "What's next? Falling in love with one?" The girls sweatdrop, and smiled at the lavender cat.
"Don't worry, you got Silver." Amy told her, patting her back. Rouge nodded, and heard the door open. Cream and Tails went in, but they weren't talking to each other, instead they were arguing.
"You could've told me earlier!" Cream exclaimed at him, "Now I have to wait?!" Tails shook his head, and started to explain.
"Cream, it's only for the first two months-"
"But still! If your going to the Emerald Mobious University without us, then why are you skipping your last year?" Cream asked to him. Everything went silent, until Tails started to speak again.
"Cream, it will only be for the first two months, okay? Besides, I'll still be here for the Mathlympics." Tails smiled at her. The cream-colored rabbit sighed, and nodded. "Please don't make it hard as it is."
"That's not it," Cream told him, "Cosmo will be there. I don't want you to be with her." Cream said out loud. "Tails, Silver is leaving, I don't want you to leave too."
The two tailed fox looked at her, and started to sigh. "Alright, look... I'll be leaving the same day as Silver leaves, and after those two months are gone, I'll come back as quick as possible, okay?"
Cream nodded slowly, and looked at the two tailed fox with her chocolate eyes about to water. "Alright. But, before you leave, how about taking me to a shopping spree?"
"Oh come on!" Amy exclaimed, looking at the couple. "Take me with you!" The two animals ignored her, and Tails responded to her.
"Yeah, anything for my little bunny." He said, kissing her in the lips as Cream started to blush and kissed him back. Amy rolled her eyes, and crossed her arms. Blaze just started to cry, and Rouge clapped fo the couple.
"Come on, I think that they give discounts to those who work at the place." Tails said, having his arm around Cream. The cream-colored rabbit nodded, and sniffed softly.
"Thanks guys for the talk, we needed it." Cream said, smiling at her friends. Amy and Blaze started to blink, as the couple closed the door, and left the two animals confused.
"We didn't do anything!" Amy exclaimed, "Take us with your shopping spree!" Blaze nodded, and started to sniff. "We need you!" Rouge rolled her eyes, and scoffed.
"Don't worry, they'll give you a shopping spree." Rouge told them, snickering, "One day." Blaze and Amy stared at her, and started to take a deep breath.
"Your right," Amy said, "Hey, at least Sally didn't update today on her Facebook, right?" Blaze nodded, and went to her phone. Once she got there, she scoffed.
"That little..." Blaze muttered, gripping her hand, "I told her that he's mine!" Amy and Rouge blinked.
"Who?"
"This girl, her name's Lucy. She's from UK, where Silver is moving to." Blaze told them, sighing. "She thinks that we'll be breaking up and she'll get him."
"How do you know her?" Amy asked, "Is she your what? Cousin? Friend? Or-"
"She's just an old enemy I had since elementary." Blaze told them, "But now, I can't believe it! Alright, I'm going to put a note on Silver's back which will say 'He's Taken!' with my signature on it."
She crossed her arms proudly, "Then no one will take my Silver away from me!" Amy and Rouge looked at each other, and started to chuckled nervously.
"You gotta say, she sure has an imagination." Amy said, having her arms crossed. Rouge nodded. "Hey, isn't it time to go to the Pizza Parlor now? I think Sonia and Tikal need our help." Amy said again.
"Poor guys, taking orders for about forty-five minutes." Rouge said, "It must feel horrible taking orders for both of them." Amy nodded.
"Then let's go." Blaze said, "I think that Earl will need help on the pizza." The girls nodded, and went downstairs to Rouge's car, and went to the restaurant.
=x=X=x=
"There you are!" Sonia exclaimed, looking at the three animals, "It's a pack house right now!" She had many trays on her hands, and it was hard when you're wearing roller skates. Tikal did a backflip with her roller skates and placed the tray of pizza to a customer's table.
The customers clapped, and gave her a tip. "Better than getting something than nothing." Tikal said, waving at the dollar on Sonia's face. The hedgehog rolled her eyes, and saw the orange echidna grabbing a tray from her hands.
"Table twenty-seven!" Sonia shouted out, as Tikal was going on her way, and nodded. "Jeez, ever since we came back from our trip, it's hard to settle in again from all the customers wanting what they want."
"Well, it is known." Blaze said, "It's actually on the Emerald Mobious' Map." She held up a map, and showed it to her, "It says here that it's one of 'The most popular places in EM.'" Sonia nodded.
Amy gasped and snatched the map from her. "My restaurant is in the map..." She said, squealing, "And is the most popular place in Emerald Mobious!" Blaze rolled her eyes.
"Don't get to piped up for that," Blaze said, "There might be more surprises than you think there is." The pink hedgehog turned her head, and sighed.
"I know, but the map." Amy said, "I wish that the summer would never end!" They all nodded, and went back to their duties to order some of the patient customers. Blaze went to the cashier, and opened it.
It was full of money, tons of fives and twenties, with change as well. She looked at the money, and smiled. "Huh, working at a pizza place does make you rich." She said, putting the money back.
She tied her apron around her waist, and had her name tag on the left side of her shirt. A customer came in and ringed on the bell. Blaze wasn't looking at the person, since she was getting a box under the table. "May I help you?"
"Yeah, I would like an extra-large cheese pizza with no crust." The person said. It sounded like a male's voice, and Blaze then got up from the box. She didn't open it yet, but still wasn't looking at the man.
"Okay, any beverages?" She asked, getting notebook and pen from the table. She clicked on the pen, and started to write the man's order.
"Just regular coke." The man said.
Blaze nodded, and gave it to Amy, as she was skating towards her way, but was actually going to another customer's table. Blaze then grabbed a binder, and looked at the date and the tables used.
"Do you got any company with you?" She asked.
"No, just me." He said again. The lavender cat nodded, and looked to see if there were a two table set.
"Alright, you'll be going to table forty-seven. Your waitress will give you your food once she's ready." Blaze said, closing the binder. "Do you want anything else?"
"Yeah, what's your number?" The man asked, placing his elbow to the table. Blaze looked up, and saw a hedgehog was in front of her, with black sunglasses, and with a sly smile on his face. The lavender cat rolled her eyes, and scoffed.
"You gotta do better than that." She said, getting the box open, "Besides, you should go now. Don't want your food waiting." The guy looked at her sympathetically, and scoffed.
"Well excuse me to bother you." He said, "I'm just here in the neighborhood, trying to fit in this place." Blaze rolled her eyes.
"Just go." She said, pointing to the direction. He stared at her, and walked away as he went to the two table. Blaze looked at him, and just ignored him. A group of Sophomores came in, and Blaze went back to the looking down movement, and went to ask the same questions again.
Amy wiped a sweat, and went to the kitchen. She looked at the order, and nodded slowly. She then saw an extra-large pizza ready, which Rouge and Sonia made together. She grabbed it, and waited until Tikal was free to get the beverage.
Amy went over to the man, and placed his food there. "Enjoy." Amy said, bowing down and skating back to business with the customers. The guy looked down at the pizza.
"This is how a pop star is treated?" He asked to himself, taking off his sunglasses. He had rich blue eyes, and looked around to see if there were any girls around there if they were fans of his music. "Well, at least I'm free today, and back to work tomorrow."
He began to eat his food, and saw Amy come back with his drink. "You'll pay after your done with your food." She said to him, "And that'll be twenty-two dollars with fifty-five cents." He nodded.
"Alright." He said again. Amy nodded, and grabbed a tray from Rouge, who was passing by with another tray. Business has been busy since they began to work there.

Few Hours Later
Silver looked down at his luggage, which were about three of them. He began to sigh, and looked down at a picture of him and Blaze making a heart together with their hands. He was at his parent's house, with his sisters at the room.
Chloe, being the youngest of Silver's siblings, had a heavy backpack and was grunting. "This is heavy!" She exclaimed. Silver looked at his small sister, and his other young sister, Adraine, picked up the backpack.
"What do you got in here? Toys?" She asked, opening the bag. Indeed, there were many toys inside of it, and her electronics. Adraine rolled her eyes. "Dad said to bring the stuff that you'll take. The other stuff with be in another luggage."
Chloe nodded quickly. "Exactly! I want to bring Mr. Rabbit and Alice together! With the mean queen and the jack!" She exclaimed. Adraine rolled her eyes, and saw one of Silver's friend knocking on the door.
"Silver, honey! Sonic and his friends are here!" Silver's mom shouted. The white hedgehog got up from the floor, and dusted off himself. He went to the door, and saw Sonic, Knuckles, and Jet.
"Hey," Silver said, giving them a fist bump, "What are you guys doing-"
"Sonic!" Chloe exclaimed, popping her head from the living room. "And those two guys!" Adraine rolled her eyes, and looked at the guys.
"'Sup?" She asked to them.
Sonic shrugged his shoulders, and looked at the small girl. He smiled at her. "So, how's the packing, Chlo's?" Chloe started to giggle, and smiled back at the blue hedgehog.
"The packing is alright, Sonic." She said. "We're doing our best to not cry. Well, only me." Sonic started to laugh, and looked up towards Silver.
"So, are you going to meet Blaze at the Pizza Parlor?" Sonic asked to him, "We're just going there right now." The white hedgehog nodded, but looked down at his two sisters.
"Hey Silver, isn't that your sister that broke up with that one guy a few years ago?" Knuckles asked, pointing at Adraine. Jet looked at the teenager, which she then stared at the red echidna.
"You told them my personal business?!" She asked to her older brother. "I'm fourteen and you're giving out my life! What's next? Calling my ex and telling him to back off?" Chloe looked at her older sister, and started to chuckle nervously.
Adraine looked at her young sister, and growled. "Forget it," She said, "Go on and go to that restaurant. And tell Blaze that I said 'Hi!'" She said it in a sweet way, and went back to the living room.
The small hedgehog looked at her, and looked at her older brother. "Silver, can I go with you?" She asked cutely, "I'm only six years old. I want to see Ms. Blaze before we leave." Silver looked at his sister, and then at his friends.
"Don't worry, Silver. We got space in my car." Sonic told him, "Of course Chloe can come with us." Chloe smiled, and hugged Sonic by the leg.
"If I were a bit taller, I might've kissed you in the cheek." Chloe said, "But then again, short people do get some awesome stuff." Sonic laughed, and tried to push the small hedgehog off his leg.
"Um... Help?" He asked to them, wiggling his leg, but Chloe held tight. Jet and Knuckles helped, and let Silver's second smallest sister out of the blue hedgehog's leg.
I'm so sorry that I didn't update on the 26th, which was Wednesday. I was so busy with my new presents (Which was money!) and I lost control and might go to the mall tomorrow. I hope that this chapter makes up for it, and from not updating sooner.
As you can see, I'll be only updating around Wednesday and Thursday, which is when no one's on the computer, and maybe at the Weekends. I'll also see if I can update Last Nightmare too. And also, Happy Late Holidays from me to you.
Please review please. I feel so bad for not updating as much as I used to for Past and Future. I'll give more information if I can in my profile.
