(Amy's POV)

It was a gorgeous day this morning. I asked my parents if I can go to Sonic's house to swim in the pool after school and they accept. I guess they're just happy that I made a new friend for the past 2 weeks.

Well, now I'm heading to school to get to the council meeting.

I arrived inside and noticed the floor so polished and clean. Not even hearing any squeaking noises from our shoes. I guess the contractors did a very good job fixing things up last night.

Then I got inside the school council room and waited for the others to come. While waiting I was thinking about Sonic. I just can't let go of that beautiful date last night.

"I can't wait to teach him how to swim" I sigh dreamily.

Then I saw the other members of the school council, Manic, Shadow, Silver and Nebula came in and took their seats.

"Good morning, everyone. The meeting is now in session. I got awesome news! Last night the contractors did an excellent job fixing the scoreboard in the gymnasium. Now we don't have to worry about it anymore. Students are happy to see the polished floors in the hallways and they no longer complain about the squeaking shoe noises. Let us thank Amy Rose for her amazing idea of selling cookies" Silver said and clapped his hands to me. Manic, Shadow, and Nebula also clapped their hands and cheered to me.

"Thank you very much" I said and smiled.

"Now it is time to prepare the Halloween party this year. On our list is so far that the remaining Halloween cookies are fixed" Manic said.

"Yes. And the Halloween party is tomorrow. And be prepared for you-know-who" Shadow said, referring to Sierra.

"Yes. And I got an idea on how we can bring Sonic to the Halloween party without anyone suspecting" I said.

"How?" Manic asked.

"You know that Rouge is good at doing make ups. She can help Sonic as a werewolf to look human and so his werewolf form will look like a costume when the tail and hands are not covered" I said.

"That's a great idea, Amy. I gotta say, you got amazing ideas" Nebula said.

"Thanks Nebula" I said.

"Now, let's start our list what we need for the Halloween party, I am gonna give you all each paper to write down on" Shadow said and gave us each paper.

"Um, Silver. Is it all right with you if I can spend some time with Sonic after school? I know I should write some list but....I promised Sonic that I'm gonna teach him how to swim" I asked him.

"Yes. Take your time to write down after you have taught him how to swim" Silver said.

"Thank you Silver. But what I can write down now is that we need to have spooky music at the party" I said, writing it down.

"That's fine to me" Silver said.

"I guess we'll have white blanket sheets that look like ghosts hanging from the ceiling" Manic wrote down his idea.

"And pumpkins. And maybe some glow sticks too" Nebula said.

"Good idea" I said.

"And some soda drinks and chips" Shadow said.

(Silver's POV)

Right after we did some lists for the party, the meeting was done and we all head to class. I have Art Class with Blaze. Whenever I say her name it makes my heart beat with love.

Today we were going to have some painting on white empty canvas. I was going to make a painting of a kitten.

"Hey, Silver. How was the council meeting?" Blaze asked me.

"Just fine. Discussed what we need for the Halloween party. And what are you painting?" I said and then asked her.

"I'm painting a dolphin jumping out of the water" Blaze said, showing the dolphin art, it was just 1/5 done.

"Wow. I like it" I said and admired it.

(Shadow's POV)

Me and Nebula had biology class together. It was one of my favorite classes to learn. Except that we have Scourge and Fiona here. Scourge didn't get expelled yet. But I heard that if he does this again he'll get suspended for one week.

Right now we were studying about plant life in the tropic forest. What I know is that the banana tree is actually an overgrown plant that resembles a tree and that the palm tree Lodoicea is the only one in its family. It grows large double coconuts and they are only found in the islands of Praslin and Curieuse in the Seychelles. Man, imagine if a double coconut hit you in the head.

"I'm happy that Sonic is hanging out with Amy" Nebula said.

"Yup. I have a feeling they suit well as a couple" I said and checked out the page about the double coconut. Nebula on the other hand reading a page about the giant redwood tree from California.

"Shadow, you know these trees can be about 164 to 279 ft. tall and six meters diameter" Nebula points at the picture of a giant redwood tree.

"Wow. Too bad they are endangered" I said after looking at the picture of the tree.

"Yeah, I just hope it doesn't get cut down" she said.

"Yeah. I don't want that tree to ever get cut down" I said.

(Nebula's POV)

Imagine if cutting down that tallest tree there would be no life on that tree. Especially for endangered animals. I always care for wild animals because I don't want them to go extinct like the dinosaurs and the prehistoric mammals. This is why I hate poachers killing animals. It makes me so pissed off because they should realize that killing wild animals can cause possible extinction in the future. But I hope these trees will be well preserved. Though I'm not sure if cloning is a good idea if the clone is disfigured. But I have to focus on doing my work now in biology.

"So after school, we'll set up the party stuff in the gymnasium" I said to him.

"Yes. It would be a pleasure if you helped me decorate" Shadow said to me. I smiled at those words and continued our work.

Later after Biology class was done, we walked together in the hallway to get to our lockers. Oh, crap! Not her again.

"Hello boyfriend stealer" it was Fiona again.

"For the last time, I did not steal your boyfriend!" I said with a glare.

"Whatever. Scourge is mine!" Fiona said.

"Don't you ever accuse my girlfriend, bitch" Shadow glared at her.

"Hey, handsome badass" she flirted.

"Give me a reason I should not hit you right now and Nebula trusts me with all her heart" Shadow said and points at Fiona, feeling fed up with her flirting.

"Oh you sure got an attitude, Shadow. Well I better get going right now" Fiona said with a smirk. I growled angrily as I watched her leave.

"I hate that bitch" I grumbled.

"At last, let's get ready to decorate the gymnasium" Shadow said.

"Sure, let's find the stuff the school got for Halloween" I said and walked along with him.

(Sonic's POV)

Right after the last bell rings, I walked out of the classroom and heading to the exit door.

"Hey Sonic. Are you ready for the swimming lesson at your pool?" Amy appeared next to me, almost startling me.

"Uh....well....yes" I stammered before I nodded.

"Okay! But I need to get my swimsuit" Amy said.

"All right. I'll wait at my backyard while you get your swimsuit" I said.

Moments later, I waited for Amy at the pool, I was wearing red swim-shorts with white strings on. I still wore the seashell bracelet on my wrist that Amy gave me yesterday.

"Okay Sonic, stay calm. Be brave when you get into the water" I said to myself, trying to feel confident. I took my towel and placed it on a sunbed when I saw Amy standing there in her swimsuit.

Holy crap! She wore a two-piece swim suit. Damn, she looks.....hot!

"Ready for this Sonic?" She asked me, placing her towel on the sunbed too.

"Uh yeah" I said blushing. She noticed this blush.

"Really shy aren't you Sonikku?" She asked me.

"No" I lied and followed her. She got into the water holding my hand.

"Alright Sonic. I'm gonna demonstrate for you how to swim properly" Amy said and began swimming forward.

I got down into the water and tried to do the same, I held out my arms forward and swam after Amy. But as soon I started to swim, I felt nervous that I am not touching the bottom of the pool. But I need to stay strong.

"It's very easy, Sonic. It's like punching and kicking the water" Amy said.

"Okay, punching and kicking" I understood and began doing as Amy said, I punched and kicked through the water but tried to do exactly how a frog kicks it's legs in the water.

"Good, now try back swim" Amy said, demonstrating by turning around and swam on her back. She rolled her arms around doing the back swim.

Damn it, this is gonna be hard to do that, "Uhh.....I'll pass that. No offense"

"None taken. Now keep swimming without touching the bottom. Don't worry, I'm right here" she said.

"Okay" I said taking a deep breath and swam alongside her. Man she's cute when she looks at me. I was a little nervous but I managed to stay focus and to not worry about drowning. We swam about three rounds in the 8 meter long pool; that was like 48 meters to swim. I began to feel less afraid of the water.
