Yuki slipped her Disciplinary Committee band on her arm back at her and Yori's dorm room. She and Zero had split up the group. The boys went with Zero to the boys' dorm and Amy went with Yuki to the girls' dorm. Amy sat on Yori's bed and looked around the room.
"This is nice Yuki." Amy complimented
Yuki looked back at Amy and smiled.
"Thank you Amy. It's not much though."
Yuki turned around to Amy.
"I really like your outfit too. Where did you get it?" Amy asked.
"Oh, it's my school uniform." Yuki answered. "All students attending the academy have to wear some form of this outfit to class. I have the Day Class uniform. Zero had the male version on when you saw us earlier."
"A little bit too much black on it don't you think?" Amy asked after looking at it some more.
"Well, it's the color scheme. I don't really pay attention to it though."
Yuki started to walk out the door.
"Come on, you can come with me to patrol the switchover."
"Switchover?" Amy asked as she followed Yuki out the door.
Over at the boys' dorm Sonic, Tails and Shadow were outside the door to Zero's dorm room. Zero would not let them in. Sonic yawned and leaned against the wall. He looked Around at Tails who was sitting on the floor and at Shadow who had propped himself up on the wall and had fallen asleep.
"Is there any time of day he actually stays awake?" Sonic asked.
"I don't know Sonic." Tails mumbled.
The doorknob to Zero's door turned and the door opened. Zero stood in the entrance with his Disciplinary Committee band on his arm and his hand in his pocket.
"Come on, follow me…" Zero motioned to the anthros to follow him. As Zero passed Shadow he nudged him.
"Come, on. Wake up. It's time to go."
Shadow stirred and yawned. He blinked and stretched.
"I'm awake…" He said between yawns.
"Well then if you're awake follow me."
Shadow pushed off of the wall, gained balance and tagged along the end of the line behind Zero that had formed. He touched the area of his face that had the scratch wound on it. It was taking longer than usual to heal compared to other injuries he had gotten before but it wasn't bleeding anymore. That was good. Sonic was at the front of the line occasionally stepping on Zero's heels.
"Stop stepping on my heels."
Sonic obeyed the silver haired teenager as he knew that it was getting annoying.
The group moved out of the boys' dorm and met Yuki and Amy at the entrance gate of the school building.
"Okay, you four stay back away from the walkway, next to the trees and away from the Day Class students. We don't want you to get hurt." Yuki told Sonic, Amy, Tails and Shadow. "Most of the Day Class girls adore the Night Class and sometimes they get really pushy. I've gotten hurt a few times before so just be careful."
They all nodded and stood with their hands behind their backs next to the trees. Day Class students started to appear as twilight neared. Some of them noticed the anthros as they made their way up to the sides of the walkway. Whispers could be heard then and little squeals followed by "Awww"s as more girls started to appear. Soon the sides of the walkway were filled with Day Class students all waiting for the Night Class to come out of the Moon Dormitory. Soon the big doors that lead to the Moon Dorm opened. The girls started to squeal as the Night Class emerged from the wooden doors and made their way down the walkway to the school building. A group of students were getting a particular amount of attention. The group was composed of two girls and five boys. One of the blonde boys was very enthusiastic about all the attention he was getting and gave back some attention to the girls while the other members walked on.
Yuki pushed back the bunch of girls spilling over a little into the walkway while Zero stood in front while girls stood behind and looked for an opening to get closer to the Night Class. Sonic and the others watched Zero and Yuki do their jobs.
"Do they have to go through this every day?" Sonic asked himself.
"They look like they could use some help." Tails said.
Amy and Sonic took a step forward.
"We know that they said to stay put but they're having a hard time with all of this. Stay here Tails."
Sonic and Amy went out and stood in front of some of the girls' way.
"Hey!"
Yuki noticed that they had moved and looked back at where Sonic and Amy now stood. She blew her whistle.
"Get back over there! You're going to get hurt, we can handle this!"
"We can handle this!" Sonic yelled back as a Day Class student tripped and fell into another, making her fall, making another one in the front fall into Amy. Amy fell onto the ground, scraping her hands, elbows and knees.
"Amy!"
Sonic ran over to Amy, picked her up off the ground and stood her up. Tails followed and the group of Night Class students had stopped as Amy had fell into the walkway. They looked at Amy in confusion. One of the blonde boys knelt down.
"Are… you okay?" He asked.
Amy looked at him.
"Yeah I'm okay, it's just some scrapes…Rggh."
Amy started to fall again as right leg gave way. Sonic caught her before she hit the ground. Yuki ran over to them as the noise died down.
"Are you okay?" Yuki looked at her injuries. One of the scrapes had gotten worse and now was starting to bleed.
"Do you think you can walk?" Yuki asked.
Amy tried to take a step but her hurt leg couldn't support the weight put on it. She grabbed Sonic's shoulders for support.
"You'll need to go to the infirmary. One of us can take you there."
Amy opened her eyes.
"But you both need to stay here."
"Zero can handle this. The Night Class will be in the building soon."
Zero turned his head towards them.
"Shadow! Can you help me carry Amy?" Sonic asked.
Shadow looked up and walked over.
"You heard her when she said to stay. Why didn't you?" He asked annoyed.
"Please just help me carry her!"
Shadow sighed and picked Amy's upper half up; being careful of her head and arms.
"Zero stay here, I'll go with them" Yuki told Zero.
Zero nodded.
Yuki led Sonic, Tails, and Shadow to the infirmary. Once inside Sonic and Shadow lay her on one of the beds. The Headmaster was notified of the incident and was already there.
"I'm sorry Headmaster." Yuki apologized. "They decided that they wanted to help and I didn't notice until it was too late."
Headmaster Cross shook his head.
"It looks like she has a broken leg. The scrapes can be fixed quickly, but not that."
"I'm sorry." Yuki repeated.
Shadow sat on an unoccupied bed.
"The reason she got hurt is because of her and that blue hedgehog's inability to listen and obey orders. Yuki told us to stay next to the trees and out of the way so that we wouldn't get hurt. But what did they do? Get in the middle of everything, and look what happened."
Headmaster Cross looked over at Shadow and then to Sonic.
"Is this true?" He asked.
"I did tell them to stay." Yuki confirmed.
"We thought you guys were having a hard time so we just wanted to help." Sonic admitted.
"And your decision to help got someone hurt." Shadow replied. "Your little rebellious attitude resulted in Amy getting her leg broken!"
"Tails is the one that said they could use some help!" Sonic tried easing the blame on himself.
"I only said that as an observation." Tails defended himself. "I did not mean that you two should go help."
"So it's your own fault." Shadow said confidently.
Sonic's ears drooped. Shadow was right. A cast was put on Amy's leg. She would have to spend a few days off of her feet until she felt strong enough to walk on crutches. Shadow, Headmaster Cross and Yuki left the room after a while. Sonic and Tails stayed with Amy to keep her company through the night.
