"You know, I think this day will go down in history as one of the best days of my life," Pokeinfo was saying, as the trio of him, Sonic the hedgehog, and Edward headed for their next class. "And it's all because of you, Sonic."

"Yeah, I agree with Pokeinfo," added Edward. "Just the look on that bitch's face is enough to keep my nightmares away for a few weeks."

"Hey, stop it. I'm sure there will come a time when you get to make a fool of her yourself," countered Sonic. "We all have our talents... mine just happens to be a little more obvious. Speed doesn't solve everything, though." He sighed, then looked around. "So... what's the next class?"

"Um... Social Studies," replied Edward. "You'll like Miss Sapphic. She always seems to know how to take the boring stuff and make it interesting."

"Yeah," added Pokeinfo. "And she almost always knows how to relate the subject on hand to a part of her body."

That comment confused Sonic. But then, there were a few things about this school that were starting to confuse him. First off, the gym teacher was only an assistant, as the original gym teacher was out sick. But from the way the students in the gym class had reacted to her teaching, Sonic felt that she ran the class all the time. But how... she seemed to be school age herself! Didn't Lucy go to school somewhere?

Secondly, the students of the school seemed a lot more laid back and... open, with their activities. He was almost certain he had seen some other students putting on a show in the bushes this morning. In fact, the behavior of the students when it came to sexual matters in this school seemed to clash with the fact that they all had to wear the same thing and were expected to be pretty much the same.

That brought his thoughts to the third thing. Where were all the adults in this? He remembered his time in Station Square, hanging with the humans, and he couldn't recall anything about sexual activities in school. But it seemed like things were encouraged here. Were humans and anthros that much different?

Sonic was snapped out of his reverie by the feeling of Edward jabbing him in the ribs. "Hey, Sonic. You forgot to change your shoes."

Sonic looked at his feet, then back at Edward. "I don't have any black shoes, and the Principal was unable to find a pair that were wide enough for my feet." He chuckled. "I suggested painting them, but he didn't feel that would be necessary. I must have some big feet."

Edna, who was passing by in the hallway as she headed for her next class, poked her head into the group. "You know what they say about guys with big feet, don't you?" She smiled, then headed off from the group, leaving Edward to turn red, while Pokeinfo had a good laugh at his expense.

Sonic turned towards her and raised his voice so she could hear over the crowd in the hallway. "Sure do! We wear big socks!"

Embarrassment seemed to be something to which Sonic was immune. His voice was loud enough that the entire hallway heard his reply, so everyone turned to look at him. He merely smiled and gave a half nod, then went with Pokeinfo and Edward into the Social Studies classroom.

Edna, on the other hand, was left to turn beet red in the hallway. She hid her face in her hands and ran to her next class, looking up only to make sure she wasn't running into anyone or any doors. Most of the people in the hallway were unsure of what question had prompted the hedgehog's answer, so Edna really had nothing to worry about. Still, she decided in her mind that she'd have to show Sonic a thing or two about what she admired about guys with big feet.

Shadow, on the other hand, had seen Edna turn red and run off. He had no clue what she had said to Sonic, but had heard Sonic's reply, and was suddenly feeling sorry for the vixen. He thought about risking being late for his next class, but decided against it, seeing as how he had embarrassing matters of his own to take care of; namely, a pretty girl's panties in his pocket.

Sonic noticed something when he walked through the door into his next class. There were girls in here. Since his gym class had been all male, he had figured that he were possibly in an all-male class, but this was not the case. Perhaps there was some alternate class that the girls went to while the guys were in gym, and perhaps the opposite would be true later in the day. But Sonic could ponder that later.

Everyone else had a seat to sit in, so they went to their respective seats. Sonic, on the other hand, stood up at the front of the class next to Miss Sapphic's desk, awaiting the ringing of the bell and proper introductions. Perhaps after presenting himself formally to the class, the teacher would be kind enough to assign him a seat.

Out of the corner of his eye, he could see the rest of the class talking amongst themselves, some of them pointing at Sonic. He ignored it as best he could, figuring that it was the boys of the class explaining about his run against Lucy in gym. Inwardly, he sighed, hoping that wasn't all he was going to be known for.

Instead, he paid attention to the teacher. Like Miss Carmen, Miss Sapphic looked almost too young to be teaching. She was a snow wolf, and her fur was as clean and pure as fresh powder on the slopes of your favorite mountain. Her eyes almost glowed green, and she seemed to stare at him, licking her lips in a sort of hungry anticipation.

Sonic opened his mouth to speak, but the teacher beat him to it.

"Don't say a word. I know who you are. The Principal has explained the circumstances to me, so I'll assign you a seat after questions." Her words were firm, and Sonic got the impression that she knew how to take control of a class.

Sonic closed his mouth and merely nodded. The bell rang, and the teacher stood, prompting Sonic to turn towards the rest of the class.

The teacher clapped her hands together, and the class quieted down. "No doubt the boys here have met our new student Sonic." She walked behind Sonic and placed her hands on his shoulders. "But I figured a proper introduction was needed, as the gymnasium is really no place to be mingling, now is it?"

She brought her head down to Sonic's ear and whispered to him. "Go ahead, introduce yourself. Then I'll open the floor for questions and you can answer as many as you like." She licked his ear as she lifted her head, causing Sonic to question his safety.

Nevertheless, Sonic wouldn't let his circumstances hinder the chance to let more people know who he was. "My name is Sonic the hedgehog. I'm part of a foreign exchange program back home, and this is the first public school I've been to. Back home I'm home schooled."

Sonic had listened to Shadow practice his reply for an hour or two. The black hedgehog didn't sound very convincing, but Sonic knew what kind of voice inflection one needed to come across as believable. From the looks of the rest of the class, he was spot on.

Though he couldn't see her face, the teacher was smiling. "Okay, class... Sonic has agreed to answer as many questions as he feels like. Who would like to go first?"

Hands all over the class shot up, but Sonic noticed that Ed and Pokeinfo were not among them. This was fine, though, as they were his friends now and they could ask him anything they wanted whenever they wanted.

The teacher picked out a cheetah girl near the middle of the class to ask the first question. "Yes, Missy?"

Missy stood and smiled. Sonic saw that she couldn't stop giggling. "Hehe, uh, Sonic... right? Is it true that you raced Lucy in gym and lapped her three times in half a lap?"

Sonic had expected this question. The girls hadn't seen the feat, only the guys. "It's true. As is the bet we made before the race, and the consequences for losing said race. In fact, I'm going to need the girls in here to report if Lucy's holding up her end of the bet."

Silence. Even the teacher was silent. Lucy must have held an impressive record.

A few minutes passed, and Sonic cleared his throat. That seemed to snap the class out of their trance. Hands shot up again, and Miss Sapphic pointed out a male turtle near the back of the class.

The boy stood, adjusting his glasses. "Señor Sonic, my name is José. You know you forgot to change your shoes, correct?"

Sonic smiled. "The principal was unable to find shoes for me that could fit the width of my feet. He said he'd look, but for now I could wear my own." He took a deep breath. "I don't think he'll succeed, though. These shoes here are the only ones my own... parents... could find that fit my feet."

José thought about this for a second, then nodded, taking his seat again. More hands shot up, and Sonic waited.

The teacher pointed out a female mouse right next to José. "Sara, you're next."

As she stood, Sonic noticed that her uniform white shirt looked a couple sizes too small. Indeed, she seemed much more developed than she should have been at her age. The buttons of her top seemed to be nearly bursting from their seams. Not only that, but she seemed to flaunt this very feature at Sonic. Sonic resisted the temptation to duck to avoid potentially dangerous button bullets.

"S-Sonic..." she shakily began, unable to hide her shyness. Or was it horniness? She couldn't decide. "Um... I've seen another new guy walking around. Another hedgehog like yourself, only he's black with red stripes. Are you two brothers?"

Sonic shook his head. "Why do people keep- never mind. No, we're not brothers. We're cousins by marriage. No blood relation at all. My aunt married his uncle, who was taking care of him, and she had him sent to live with me and my... parents. Apparently, she couldn‘t stand his attitude."

Sonic made that one up on the fly. He hadn't completely figured out how he was going to explain his family ties with Shadow should someone ask, so when the question came, he was caught completely off guard. Still, the story seemed to satisfy the girl, and she nodded and sat down.

Sara, however, had seen some of the attitude of the black hedgehog, and was asking about blood relation in case it was something she had to look out for in the blue one. Sonic's answer made her happy... now she could flirt with him without fear...

More hands shot up. The teacher cleared her throat, then pointed out a male raccoon near the left side of the group. The phone on her desk rang, and she shuffled to answer it as the boy stood to ask his question.

Had Sonic been privy to the introduction of Shadow, he would have recognized this raccoon as an almost spitting image of Jayden. Not surprising, as Jayden was this raccoon's twin sister.

"My name's Jay. Where are you from? You said you were home schooled back home, but never told us where your home is."

That was another question Sonic had been waiting for. He had heard Shadow rehearsing the answer to this question, and didn't feel confident with his whole ‘Mobius is the name of a hidden base name in Japan' answer. Of course, his own answer wasn't all that believable, but he felt it was far more realistic than Shadow's.

"I'm from a small island off the coast of Japan called Mobius. It's a US territory, but it's kept secret from the public. The US doesn't want Japan to know about it, but I'm not very sure how they keep such a large piece of land a secret from an entire country." Sonic scratched at the back of his head. "Heck, We get tourists all the time, and they're never told to keep quiet about it."

The boy nodded, then resumed his seat. The teacher was still on the phone, so Sonic had to pick out the next question on his own. He didn't know anybody's name beyond the names of the ones who had already been called on, the names of Ed and Pokeinfo, and a couple names picked up in gym. To keep the current gender pattern going, he pointed to a female panther near the back of the class.

The girl licked her lips as she rose, and seemed to sway back and forth as she stood. She smiled as seductively as she could manage, then parted her lips to speak. "My name is Delilah. What's your orientation, and do you have a girlfriend or boyfriend?"

Whoo boy. Technically, Sonic was single. Ask anyone on Mobius except Amy, and they would tell you that Sonic was single, and usually too busy saving people to date. Ask Amy, and she'd say that she and Sonic were engaged.

That was the technical sense. Sonic was pretty much single, but had an enormous crush on someone. So when the two of them had kissed, Sonic had wondered about asking her out. But then, She was older than he was by a good bit, and even back on Mobius she'd be older than him. And though such an age gap wasn't looked down upon in Mobius' time, as Sonic would be seventeen or so (which made Rachel roughly twenty-six), Sonic was almost positive it'd be something frowned upon here. (Oh, how wrong he would be, but I'm getting ahead of myself.)

So Sonic decided to tell the truth. "I'm single, and I like girls." Sonic thought for a minute, and an idea came into his head. "But if someone wants to date me, they have to first pass my test."

This caused Delilah to raise an eyebrow. A test to prove that the girl was dating material? A normal girl would write Sonic off as a prick, but the normal ‘I'm-a-jerk' attitude wasn't there. Delilah wasn‘t a normal girl, though. And she was in heat at the moment.

"What kind of test?" she countered.

"Loyalty, honesty, and patience," was the reply.

Delilah figured she was puzzled enough, and sat in her seat. More hands shot up, and Sonic heard the teacher clear her throat. Apparently, she was off of the phone.

"Class, we have time for two or three more questions, then you all need to get your stuff ready to leave. There's an assembly in the gym before lunch."

There was a collective groan throughout the class, then the hands seemed to shoot more urgently into the air. The teacher pointed out a male lion near the back of the class, and Sonic recognized Pokeinfo.

"Hey Sonic. You already know me, obviously. What's your favorite kind of music, and do you have a favorite song?"

There's a new question. Sonic thought for a bit, then started slowly. "I don't really have a favorite kind of music. I like just about all kinds of music. I will say, though, that I cannot stand country music, or rap music. Country's all the same..." Sonic adjusted his voice to hold a country twang as he spoke the next part. "Mah gurl lef' me, mah dawg died, mah truck is rusty, and mah momma don‘ love me." Sonic cleared his throat, then continued like normal. "No matter how many different chords you hit, or how much you try to change the music, it all sounds the same.

"The same can be said about rap music. It's all about ‘I make this much money, I drive this kind of car, I smoke this much weed, I yiff this many girls, I grab my crotch this many times while I pretend to dance in the clubs so I can show off how big I am and hide the fact that I'm scratching my crabs infested balls.'" Sonic scoffed. "Take a normal everyday action like turning a doorknob, add a bass heavy snare beat in the background and a few repetitive notes on the piano, say the action you do over and over and add a few cuss words into the mix, then say everything you've got as fast as you can for four or five minutes, and guaranteed you've got the next rap hit." Sonic took a deep breath. "That's all it is."

Silence echoed again in the classroom, then the class broke into applause. Apparently, Sonic's definition hit a nerve. But he wasn't done.

"Hey, hey!" He shouted to be heard above the noise of the class. "Now, I do like hip-hop style. And before you go on into calling me a hypocrite, let me explain that there is a difference. While rap is all about how successful you are at repeating that you're successful, or telling the general public something they already know, hip-hop attempts to entertain the public. Rap is about making money from the masses, while hip-hop is about entertaining the masses. This is why hip-hop is generally done by groups, while rap is always a singular artist, with a ‘featuring' every now and then.

"Of course, every now and then a singular hip-hop artist comes out and is pretty successful with their music. But the one thing you have to realize is that most singular hip-hop artists were successful before they broke into the music business. The most common of such break out artists is that they are movie giants before they go into music. That way, if their music career dies, they still have the movie business to fall back on.

"Anyway... that's the end of my rant." Sonic took a deep breath and crossed his arms. "Sorry to go off like that."

Pokeinfo, who had been standing the entire time, shook his head. "It's fine. The last person I asked that said he didn't like rap couldn't explain why beyond the fact that he had never really sat down and listened to it." With that, the lion took his seat.

The teacher put her hands on Sonic's shoulders, causing him to jump. He had been so involved in his hatred for certain music that he had forgotten that she was even there. Hands shot up into the air, and she spoke out. "We have time for one more question." She raised her hand and pointed to a female Siamese cat near the left side of the class. "Naomi, you can ask yours."

The girl stood, and she seemed to sway much like Delilah had. She cleared her throat, then asked her question in a silky voice. "Are you a virgin still?"

The question caught Sonic off guard. He knew what a pussy looked like, and knew what it meant for a girl to be wet. But he had never so much as fingered a girl, much less had sex with one.

"Yes, I'm still a virgin," he replied, turning red. He'd half expected the teacher to call the girl down for asking such a personal question, but the teacher had remained silent. He had even looked up at her face just to see her looking back down at him, expectant of his answer.

He wasn't content on leaving the question answered like that, though. He didn't want to sound like a total recluse. "But don't let that fool you... just because I've never done the deed, it doesn't mean that when I find the right person I won't know what to do. From what some of my friends back home told me, it's like an instinct that kicks in, and you sort of know what to do." He shook his head, thinking of Knuckles and Rouge. "I just don't want to lose my virginity to the wrong person and regret it for the rest of my life, or risk getting the girl pregnant like my friend Knux did. His girl was about three months along when I left."

Naomi nodded, and then smiled. She was in heat, so talk about being pregnant only turned her on more. Another side effect of being in heat was that she could smell when another feline was in heat... namely, Delilah. She had a feeling she may be fighting the panther for Sonic's affections.

The teacher smiled to the rest of the class as Naomi sat down. "That's all the time we have for questions I'm afraid. So... get your things ready, and get ready to head to the gym for the assembly."

She knelt to Sonic's ear, and whispered to him. "Tomorrow, when you come in, your seat will be behind Sara, in the back row. Don't worry about notebooks or pen or anything, the school provides that." She licked his ear, and Sonic was reminded to worry about his safety. "It's a pleasure to have you in this class, and I'm sure we'll have a good time while you're here."

With that, Miss Sapphic stood and went over to her desk to grab her jacket from her chair. She put on the windbreaker and headed to the door to the classroom, where the rest of the class had more or less lined up in little groups, chatting amongst themselves. Sonic found Pokeinfo and Ed, and blended in with them as best he could before they left the classroom, Ed nudging Sonic as they exited.

"Sonic, I think Naomi has a crush on you."

Pokeinfo chimed in. "And Delilah."

Ed countered. "And Sara."

Pokeinfo offered the last word. "And José." He chuckled. "You should teach Ed how to be such a chick magnet."

Ed scoffed. "I have Laura, I don't need anyone else."

Sonic shook his head, thinking to himself.

'Loyalty, honesty, and patience. Loyalty to me, honesty to yourself, and the patience to wait until we're both ready. This is what I want from you, Sonic.'

A tear crept from Sonic's eye, and he wiped it away when nobody was looking. 'You never practiced what you preached, Sally. But I will.'

The hallway was packed, and it took a few minutes to get from the classroom back into the gym, but soon Sonic was seated on the bleachers with the rest of the class, somehow sitting next to Naomi, Delilah, and Sara, Ed and Pokeinfo behind them. This assembly may prove to be very interesting indeed...
