After Gym class, Nebula was at the hallway putting her stuff into her locker before going to lunch. Luckily she didn't smell like Shadow's cologne anymore after showering.

She placed a picture of herself and Bella as a puppy in her locker and smiled sweetly, "Oh, Bella. You're too cute" Nebula said and heads for the cafeteria.

Today's lunch was chicken fingers which was Nebula's favorite food. She paid the lunch menu and walks to the table with the food tray in her hands. She goes to an empty table and sat there having her lunch. Shadow was not in the cafeteria yet but Nebula was certain that he will come.

"I wonder where Shadow is" Nebula said to herself while eating one chicken finger.

Then Amy came and sat in front of her, "Hi Nebs, how's it going?" Amy asked her.

"Pretty good. I'm waiting for Shadow. You should have seen him training" Nebula said.

"Aww....you noticed his six-pack?" Amy guessed.

"Yup. He did 200 sit-ups" Nebula said with a giggle.

"So cute. I see Sonic's well trained body" Amy said.

"Did his abs stun you?" Nebula chuckled.

"Yeah they did. He's so handsome" Amy said with hearts over her head.

"I understand. Well I need to think of something that Shadow and I can do after school, like skateboarding at the park" Nebula said.

"That sounds like a great idea Nebula" Amy said.

"Yup, me and Shadow love skateboarding" Nebula said.

Silver, Sonic, and Shadow walked up to their table to have lunch with them. The girls heard them snickering quietly which got them curious to what's really funny or what they're laughing about.

"What's funny?" Amy asked.

"We pranked Knuckles at the boys' gym shower room" Sonic snickered.

(Flashback)

After gym class was done, the boys had on their swim trunks in the shower room, cleaning off their bodies from all the sweat they had. Sonic put his finger on his lips to 'shush' his friends to be quiet. He had his shampoo that Knuckles borrowed and is ready to do the shampoo prank on Knuckles.

They see their red friend washing his quills/dreadlocks, getting the soapy shampoo off with water. Knuckles had his back facing the guys and he doesn't know what they're planning. Sonic snickered quietly and quietly walks up to him, squeezing the shampoo bottle above Knuckles' head.

He continued to wash his dreadlocks until he realized that the shampoo won't end. The more he washed, the more Sonic poured onto his head.

"Dude, where did you get this shampoo?!" Knuckles' said, washing his head harder to get the shampoo off with water.

"Why? What's wrong with it?" Sonic asked, pretending he doesn't know. Shadow and Silver snickered quietly as they keep watching this.

"It's not coming off" Knuckles said, still washing the shampoo off his head. Sonic then poured some more shampoo as Knuckles washed his hair some more. But then Knuckles growled lowly when he still had shampoo in his hair.

"ARGH!!! What kind of shampoo is this, Sonic?!" Knuckles growled in frustration, turning the water on to make it pour on his head harder to get the shampoo off.

"Come on, Knux. We gotta go" Silver said, snickering quietly.

"ITS NOT COMING OFF, GUYS!!" Knuckles growled, feeling very pissed off that the guys aren't helping.

"Well, uh, see you at lunch, Knuckles" Sonic smiled widely and walks out of the shower with the towel wrapped around him. Shadow and Silver did the same too.

Knuckles turned off the water after showering off all shampoo, "There's something funny going on here" he muttered.

(End of flashback)

"Wow, he sure got pissed off" Amy giggled.

"Yeah, he sure was losing his shit" Sonic snickered.

Then Knuckles walked up to them, he was both curious and angry, "What are you all talking about?"

"Uh, nothing at all Knuckles" Sonic lied. The others nod to not get into trouble with him.

"Oh, because I'm sick of that endless shampoo" Knuckles groaned.

"Ah, you smell so good my old spice guy" Rouge walks up to him seductively, holding his shoulder.

"Old spice odor blocker blocks my odor 16 hours. But this shampoo seems to hold a few hours" Knuckles said.

"My sweet echidna, you smell so good" Rouge said, sniffing on Knuckles' dreadlocks. Then Nebula and the others snickered some more.

"It's not funny" Knuckles grumbled.

Later after lunch, Nebula was on her way to the library to find books about Goths, activities and prehistory. She was not much into science but has to read about it to get good grades in class.

She sat down at the table in the library and starts to read about goths which she is herself. She saw many different types of them and turned to another page of clothing and makeup in the book.

"Hmmm, a bit unnecessary because I already know about goths" Nebula said and switches to prehistory book, turning to the page with prehistoric mammals like Gigantopithecus.

"Hmm... It says that some believe that this giant ape is probably still around and lives now as BigFoot and Yeti" Nebula said. She saw a picture of the giant ape, it looked like an orange gorilla with an orangutan's face.

"Weird" Nebula said.

She then switched books to activities and turned to the page about skateboarding. She saw that there are some instructions on tricks on skateboarding as well.

"Might be something to do with Shadow" Nebula smiled.

All of a sudden, her ears twitched and quickly used her reflex moves. She gripped the person's wrist, turning around to see who it was that was about to touch her, "You really don't give up, do you?" she glared at the green hedgehog.

"Wow! You really got good hearing" Scourge was surprised at her reflexes.

"Yes, now back off or you'll get suspended like Fiona" Nebula warned him, "And don't even think about stalking me in school again" she growled, controlling her rage from triggering her eyes to glow purple.

"Oh...oh...oh...okay" Scourge backs off and ran away from the library.

"Hmph, that asshole" Nebula said and takes her books with her.

After school, Nebula and Shadow were skateboarding together at the skate park and glides down the ramps and slides. Some humans and mobians watched them skating.

"COWABONGAAAA!!!" Shadow shouted and skates past another skater.

"KABOOYAH!" Nebula skates up to a ramp and glides down doing some slalom moves on the board. The Babylon gang watches in jealously at them.

"I'll show them who's best" Jet said in anger.

"Yeah, they are even worse than that cyborg lion kid" Storm said, slamming his fists together.

One of them, a swallow bird scoffs, "And how are you gonna beat them? They are very strong" the female bird said.

"We'll make accidents to them, Wave" Jet whispered to her.

She leaned in to hear his plan what to do. "Ah okay, sounds good to me" she grinned evilly.

The next thing they did was setting a trap in a tunnel in the skate park. They put nails on the ground. As they were done, they saw Nebula coming to the tunnel but much to their shock she glides through the nails.

"What?! How did she do that?" Jet gasped.

"Jet, use your brain for once. Skateboards don't have air in their wheels" Wave said to him.

"Oh yes, but the thing was to make her lose balance" Jet growled.

"Uh guys, behind you" Storm nervously said as the pissed off Shadow stood there.

"Keep going, what were you saying?" Shadow growled.

"That we were gonna make Nebula injured" Jet backs off nervously as Shadow got closer. He then got roughly pinned against the wall by the angry male hedgehog

"If you do anything to my girlfriend I'll tear off your feathers from your ass!" Shadow said angrily.

"Please don't rip my feathers! I love my feathers!" Jet whimpered in fear.

"Then stay away from Nebula you dodo bird!" Shadow said, then glared at Storm and Wave, "Same for you guys!" he yelled.

Storm and Wave gulps in fear as Shadow tosses Jet at them with a smirk on his face.

"And by the way...BOO!" he scares them, they then ran off like cowards, "Hehehe....what a bunch of dumb birds" he chuckled.

"Did you kick their asses, Shadow?" Nebula asked, coming out from her hiding place.

"Nope" Shadow shook his head no.

"Good, but you were awesome anyway" Nebula giggled and hugs him.

"Yeah, thanks Nebs. Let's skate some more shall we?" Shadow asked her, she nods and they take their boards to continue.

"I'm glad you were able to scare the hell out of them" Nebula chuckled.

"Yeah, I can be fearsome at times" Shadow said.

They skate to some slides and ramps and rarely fell off their boards. When Nebula was about to fall off she flies in the air and lands safely on her feet. Shadow on the other hand skates on the ramp and stands on one finger and jumps onto his board gliding down the ramp.

"HELL YA!!!!" Shadow cheered.

He then skates up to a bow-shaped ramp and glides at the side of it in a surfing like manner. That until he accidently fell off the board and lands on his side.

Nebula gasps at this and ran up to him to see if he's okay, "Shadow, are you okay?"

"No, I think I hurt my arm" Shadow groaned. Nebula sits next to him and uses her healing powers on his injured arm. It glowed in a shiny purple color as she heals his arm.

"What are you doing?" Shadow gasped at this.

"Healing your arm" Nebula said. Shadow then felt no pain in his arm, Nebula was right for what she said.

"Thank you so much Nebula. You really got awesome powers" Shadow said to her.

"Thanks" Nebula smiled.
