Chapter Two: That Blue Hedgehog

~Amy~

I was faintly aware of an alarm clock ringing loudly in my ear, or of the noise Blaze and Cream were making to try and get me up.

I was having the dream again. The one where I meet this boy, a hedgehog like me, and he takes me to this beautiful garden

He's now standing under a group of weeping willow trees. He's facing me, but I can't make out his face, or the color of his fur. As always, when I'm just about to see his face, when he steps out from the protection of the shade, I wake up.

This time it is because I am so cold and I cry out, "I-I-It's f-freezing!" I tried to reach blindly for my blanket, but I wasn't there. When my thoughts began to clear of sleep, I realized that they were wrapped up in Blaze's armes.

"Good morning Sleeping Beauty!" Blaze laughs.

"Get up! It's time for your very first day at Chaos High!" Cream yells while tugging on my arm.

"Why did you not tell me sooner?" I ask as I jump up and hurry to find an outfit from one of my suitcases.

Mother had a steward go out and buy me a lot of 'normal' clothes. Although I am used to dresses and corsets, I am also familiar with jeans and shirts.

Though, I would have to say that the best part of my wardrobe change were the shoes. I especially love converses and heels. Mostly wedges.

I'm not sure what is stylish these days, so I just put on a pair of skinny jeans a tank-top, and some green and pink converses. While I get dressed, I ask for the time.

"It's seven thirty-nine a.m.," Cream tells me.

"Oh no! I slept to long!" I race to the bathroom to brush my teeth.

"How long is the walk?" I ask after I spit.

"About fifteen minutes," Blaze says. She grabs her backpack.

I get my bag and grab my phone.

"Fifteen minutes?" I ask incredulously.

Cream nods and adds, "We like to get breakfast on the way."

"Okay guys! Blaze yells from the living room, "Lets go or we're gonna be late!"

~Sonic~

"Hello class," the teacher says, "I'm Mr. Boris, and this is your homeroom."

Some of the students say, "Hi," or a quiet, "Hello." Others just slouch in their seats and stare at Mr. Boris, pretending to listen.

"Isn't it great to have science as your homeroom subject?" Mr. B (I've decided that Mr. B suits him better that Mr. Borris, it's shorter) asks.

Before anyone could reply,-which they weren't-Blaze and a familiar pink hedgehog come running into the classroom. It looks as if they ran here, because they're out of breath.

"I'm sorry we're late!" Blaze apologizes.

"Very sorry sir!" The pink hedgehog agrees.

"I'll let it slide because it is your first day, but I expect you two to arrive to my class on time tomorrow."

"Yes sir," the two say in unison as they take some open seats in the middle row. The pink hedgehog is right next to me.

"Now, as I was saying...," Mr. B drones on as he starts talking about the class rules and how he expects us to memorize them over the next few days. I look over at the new girl, wondering why she looks so familiar...

Thats it! That's Amy Rose, Queen Lesa's daughter! She's the second twin. I think about the mission I was assigned-more like forced-to complete. All you have to do is get her to go to your party.

The plan is simple enough. All I have to do is get to her to the party, drug her, tie her up, and give her to Eggman so he can send her over to the leader of the Thorns. Then I'll be able to see my brother and sister!

I've been planning this for three days, ever since Eggman gave me the news. I've lived here way before that though. Not in this specific location, I lived farther downtown. In the bad part of town, it wasn't easy life. But I would go back there if it meant getting my siblings back. They were taken three years ago, when I was thirteen.

My sister was only ten, my brother was eleven. I don't know why the Thorne's took them, I don't know why they spared me, but I know now, that they want to use me. Is is because of my abilities, and what they think my siblings can do? Just because I ca-

My thoughts were interrupted by Mr. B raising his voice, "Excuse me Blaze, am I interrupting your 'important' conversation?"

Blaze shakes her head and says, "No sir."

"Then I suggest you stop talking and start paying attention."

When she nods in reply, he goes back to teaching.

"Now...," he goes on about the rules for the rest of class. Its just about no talking when he's talking, no eating, texting, and ect. When the bell rings I can just feel the excitement buzzing in the room at the thought of leaving.

I hang back until Amy gets up like she's about to leave. I was walking up to her, attempting to have a nice conversation with her, when she swingsher bag onto her shoulder so violently, that it hits me in the shoulder. The force of her bag hitting me caused it to go crashing onto the floor. I ran out of the room before she could hear me saying, "Ow, ow ow, ow ow..."

That hurt so bad. She hit me in the shoulder!

It wasn't her fault, I tell myself, she didn't even see you there! Besides, she's about to get what's coming to her...

I rubbed my shoulder and stalked off to the gym.

~Amy~

I watched Blaze as she headed off to her own class, leaving me standing by one of the gym's many doors. She told me that Cream probably had P.E. and that I should look for her.

How hard can it be to find one cream-colored rabbit? I thought as I opened the doors and stepped inside the gym.

The doors I used led me to the bleachers. They are pushed up against the left wall. The gym was as big as one of the ballrooms back home, and that's big.

We used to hold balls every two weeks. Me and my twin, Amelia, got to take turns picking the themes.

We always tried to make each one silly, but somehow they all turned out to be elegant. I thinks that was because of mother. She can make anything seem fancy and beautiful.

I shook my head to clear away the thoughts of my sister. I had promised myself never to think or speak of her again. Not after what had happened...

I walk along the front of the bleachers, looking for Cream.

"Hey!" a voice calls out from above, "Hey Amy!"

It took me a while to pinpoint where the voice was coming from, and it was coming from Cream. When I saw her waving, I walked towards her up the bleachers.

"Sit with us," Cream motioned to the spot beside her.

"Thank you," I whisper to her as I take the offered seat.

"Okay, Amy, this," she points to the blue hedgehog that made my bag fall in science, "is Sonic, him over there," she points at a two-tailed yellow fox, "that's Tails. The red echidna is Knuckled. She's,: Cream points to a bat hovering by Knuckles, this is Amy, the new girl."

"Hello," I say to everyone. I want to make a good impression on them, so I'm trying to be as polite as possible.

"It's nice to finally meet you Amy," Rouge says as she gives me a friendly hug.

"Cream couldn't stop talking about you," Tails comments as he gives me a firm handshake.

"Yeah, she really couldn't," Knuckles confirms while shaking her hand like tails. Wow, they're very formal.

"But hey, everyone wanted to know about the new girl," he continues.

"So you don't get a lot of new students here?" I ask. The city is very large, so I assumed people moved here a lot.

"Well, the 'new' students move here when they're small, so by the time they make it to Chaos High, they've lived her for years," Cream explains.

"Exactly, so they're not really new," Tails adds.

"So when did you get here?" Rouge asks.

"Well, I arrived yesterday," I answer, remembering my promise to Mother about giving her a call.

"You're staying with Cream and Blaze right?" Knuckles questions.

"Yes, but I haven't had the chance to unpack yet. I'll have to get started after school."

"Well, I can come over and help you," Rouge offers, "it will be my way of welcoming you to Mobius." I then remembered when I declined Scourge's offer to help me with my bags. I didn't think that would happen if I declined this time, but Rouge is nice enough.

"Yeah!" Cream agrees, "Blaze and I can help too!"

I sigh, I've been doing that a lot lately, and say, "Well, since you and Cream insist."

Cream and Rouge exchange a quick high-five to celebrate their victory.

"So to day after school right?" Rouge asks.

I nod while adding, "That would be perfect."

Suddenly, out P.E. coach walks into the gym, holding a bullhorn to her lips.

"Hello class, I'm Coach Sparkle, and I'll be your P.E. teacher this semester. So today I'll start by teaching you about the rules of the gymnasium."

Coach Sparkle told us she would hand out locker combinations on Thursday, so we have to get our gym clothes together on Friday to put them in out lockers.

When the bell rings, most of my classmates bolted for the doors. Our little group stayed put to talk some more.

When we decided to head to third period we all stood. I was on the very end of my row, sitting next to Cream, so I would be the first one to reach the stairs that led off the bleachers and down to the guy floor.

I take a step down the stairs and turn around, causing my bad to swing to the side. Suddenly, Sonic comes barreling into me, making me lose my balance. I almost fall, but Rouge had grabbed my shoulder to stop me.

Sonic ran down the bleacher steps and disappeared out of the door before I could ask him what his problem was.

Even though he wasn't there to hear me, I still yelled, "Well excuse me!"

What on Earth is his problem? What did I do to offend him so?

"Sonic!" Tails also yells. He runs down the steps to try and catch up with him.

"Amy, are you alright?" Cream asks with a concerned look on her face.

Although my heart can't seem to stop beating so frantically, I manages to simply say, "Yes, I am fine." Truth be told, if I had falled, I could've landed easily, but that's not why my heart was pounding. If I had fallen and landed, everyone would know that I'm different. That there's something off about me.

I already draw attention to myself because I'm the 'new girl'. People watch me to learn more about me. I need to be more careful. I don't need to draw more attention to myself.

"I wonder what's gotten into him," Knuckles says as he makes his way down the bleacher steps.

Rouge lets go of me and starts down the stairs after Knuckles. She pauses and looks back saying, "You know he's never acted like this before," and with that, she leaves.

"I'm so sorry about Sonic," Cream apologizes.

"It's quite alright, you did nothing wrong. I just wonder what I did to make him so upset. Do you think he hates me?"

"He can't hate you! He doesn't even know you."

"I guess you're right."

"Well, I'm going to math."

"So am I," I say while showing her my schedule.

"Well, let's go!"

Cream grabs my arm and practically drags me down the bleachers and all the way to math class.
