"20 GODDAMN PEOPLE!" Sonic danced around the hall with his piece of paper the next Tuesday. He was a happy puppy.

"Guys, guys, guys!" He bothered Tails and Amy. "I got it!"

"Good for you Sonic!" Amy petted the wolf on the head. "See you at the first meeting."

"Did I hear that Sonic acquired a club?" A low voice came from nowhere.

Sonic started to growl. "Get away from here Shadow."

Shadow strolled up to them in a weirdly happy mood, but he still had the dark aura that most vampires had. "I just wanted to congratulate you." He grinned a fangy smile. "I almost forgot about it."

Sonic protected his petition. "Thank you. Don't come any closer."

Shadow laughed and disobeyed the werehog, getting closer to him and his paper. "May I see that?" He asked politely.

"No, flip off Shadow!"

"Com'on I just want to see who signed."

"No!"

"Shadow what the Hell are you doing?" Rouge's voice came from behind them.

Shadow quickly snatched the piece of paper from Sonic and tore it in half. "Oops."

"Shadow!" Sonic shouted and went for Shadow's neck. Shadow dodged and ran over to Rouge and hid behind her.

"Stop hiding behind her!"

"Shadow what have you done?!"

"Nothing!"

"Get some tape Shadow."

"I don't have any!"

Rouge looked back at her fake cowering boyfriend and sighed. "I'm sorry Sonic. I'll find some tape. I'm sure there's some in my locker." Rouge opened her locker and searched it for a roll of clear tape. Sonic stood waiting with his arms folded. Shadow had disappeared.

Rouge closed her locker. "I'm sorry Sonic but I don't have any. You could go try the library, they're sure to have some tape."

"It's not your fault. I'll go see before class starts." Sonic turned around and went in the direction of the library. "I'll see you guys later."

Rouge looked behind her. "Shadow come out of my locker now. We have to talk." She opened her locker again, Shadow was there hanging upside down by a coat hanger as a bat. He shook his head no.

"Yes. Change back so I can talk to you."

The bat shook his head no again.

Rouge sighed and pulled him out and closed the locker door. Shadow squeaked sadly and tried to curl up in her hands.

"Okay, if you won't change back I'll have to just lecture you." She sat down on the floor. "You shouldn't have done that. I thought you were turning over a new leaf."

Shadow looked at her with big, sad eyes.

"Are you listening? You better be or else I won't help you with History anymore."

Shadow nodded.

"Apologize to Sonic the next time you see him. You hear me?"

Annoyed squeaks.

"Stop complaining or I'll make you join his fan club."

Angry squeaks.

"Stop it."

Shadow curled up in her hands and gave her a look.

"I mean it."

Rouge sighed. "Whatever you big baby." She put him in her purse and got up. "I guess you'll be riding around in my purse today."

"He's so cute!" Amy squealed.

Shadow's annoyed squeaks.

"I have to go to class now Amy. Bye." Rouge walked off to her next class with Shadow resting in her bag like a little purse dog.


Meanwhile Sonic was in the library taping his paper together. "Damn Shadow…" He left the tape dispenser and walked around for a bit.

"Do you need any help?" The librarian asked him when he passed her

"No, I'm just here to tape something together."

The librarian nodded and walked away. Sonic stopped walking.

"Oh man! I forgot the teacher!" He thought out loud.

"Shhh!"

"Sorry!"

"SHHHH!"

Sonic ran out of the library in a panic.

"What's got you so panicked dear?" The librarian was back. She stood at the door.

Sonic breathed in and out. "I have this fan club and I need a teacher or somebody to help us."

The librarian thought for a moment. "I'm sure there's someone that will help you."

Sonic turned around. "Maybe you could help me."

"I'm sorry dear but I already have a lot of responsibilities."

Sonic's ears went down. "Oh…"

"But I can help you find someone. I will help you. Is there a deadline to when you have to do this?"

Sonic shook his head. "No, but I really would like to start the club this week."

"Okay, I'll see what I can do."

Sonic jumped up. "Yes! Thank you."


Shadow sat in Rouge's purse throughout her first period class, messing with the items inside it, he tried not to make any noise. Rouge looked down at the bat.

"Shadow, don't mess with my stuff."

Shadow started back at her and continued messing with her phone.

"Shadow. Stop it."

"Rouge? This better be important." The teacher said, catching the white bat's attention, she looked up from her purse.

"Oh, it's nothing, just rummaging through my purse for…a pencil." She covered Shadow with a tissue.

"Don't disrupt class again."

"Yes ma'am." Rouge pet Shadow to calm him down and maybe get him to go to sleep. "Shadow, go to sleep. Please."

Some girls in front of her laughed. "She's talking to her purse. What a weirdo." Rouge looked at them and bit her lip to keep herself from saying anything too bitchy. "Don't let them get to you Rouge." She thought. Just one more class and she'd force him to change back. She looked down at Shadow again, he was still under the tissue. He looked so cute. When class ended, Rouge took action.

"Shadow, next period is history, I need you to change back. Now." She said sternly to her purse. Shadow surprisingly, woke up and yawned.

"Shadow." Rouge started.

Shadow suddenly shot out of her purse and transformed. "Okay, okay." He smirked. "I read your text messages."

Rouge scrambled for her phone. "How do you know my passcode?!"

"I saw you input it over your shoulder." Shadow walked around in a circle with his hands behind his back. "Com'on let's go to history."

Rouge put her phone back in her purse and locked arms with him. She loved that stupid jerk too much to be mad at him right now. Kris passed them on the way to her class. She looked at them, secretly wishing that she was Rouge. Shadow suddenly blew her a kiss behind his girlfriend's back. He was trying to start something that would be a serious problem, but he liked being bad

When the both of them got to history Shadow got his homework out for the teacher. "I did my homework for once."

Mr. Pendragon's eyebrows went up with suspicion and surprise. He slid the paper over to himself and looked at it, he took out a red pen and began writing on it, checking it off and circling things. When he was done, he gave it back to the hedgehog

"The moment of truth." Rouge whispered.
