In the heart of haven we find Locke looking really happy about something. His son Knuckles then walks into the room only to see his father grinning and showing a wide smile at him.
“Hey, Knuckles guess what!”
“What?” he said in a lazy tone after all the hard work he did being a guardian that day.
“I just enrolled you into an academy for gifted, smart people!”
“WHAT?! When did you do that?”
“Today. I figured you could catch up on your family history studies there!” Locke answered.
“Grrr…” he said in a low tone. Knuckles has always hated history. Especially when it comes to studying it.” So when does school start?”
“Tomorrow at 6:00 A.M.”
Knuckles lifted his eyebrow up, thinking how in the world would he get his homework done and be a guardian at the same time. His father wasn’t exactly helping either. Locke then led Knuckles into his bedroom where he began giving his son advice how to act in school.
“Here’s your uniform!” Locke said with a smile.
“There’s a uniform too?” Knuckles said with a huge sweat drop on his head. (Like you see on the show Sailor Moon.) “Dad, you know I only wear my gloves, shoes, and sometimes my hat.”
Minutes later.
“So how do I look?” he said in a mumble. Knuckles knew there was going to be no way out of this.
“You look fabulous!”
BEEP! BEEP! BEEEEEEEPPPPPP!!!!!!
Locke lifted his sleeve up to look at his watch. ”Oh my, look at the time! I’m supposed to be on watch duty! You might as well go to bed; you have a big day tomorrow! Good night son.”
“Yawn. See ya’ in the morning father.”
Next morning
“Snore.” Here we find Knuckles and his resent companion Luna the cat. Well the talking cat, but he doesn’t know that. As we look (read) down at them they both seem to having great dreams. Until… Tap Tap. Somebody seems to be trying to wake them up.
“Huh…”Knuckles said, when he finally woke up, in a sleepy tone.
“YOUR LATE!” his father screamed. The alarm clock was beeping loudly as it read 6:15 A.M.
“AHHHHH!!!!! OH, NO!!!!!”
“MEOWRRRRR!!!!”
Knuckles VERY quickly ran down the hall to grab his uniform and a bite to eat. (Would you like me to say Sonic speed?) He then got out of haven as fast as he could.
“GOOD-BYE! OH, I’VE NEVER BEEN SO LATE IN MY LIFE! I’M STARTING TO ACT LIKE VECTOR!!!!!”
What Knuckles didn’t notice was that the little fur ball, Luna had jumped into his backpack.
On his way to school, which he was not in a hurry anymore, he saw something you don’t usually see everyday. A cat with blonde hair that reached down to her knees in a pigtail like style, and she had white fur. Knuckles noticed that the cat girl was also wearing a uniform almost exactly likes his. He figured that she was running late for the same school. She ran up right behind him and then skidded to a stop. They both glared at each other for about a minute.
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING JUST STANDING THER LIKE THAT? WE ARE LATE! L-A-T-E!! LATE!” the blonde cat screamed. ”Come on ya’ slowpoke we got to get to school!” Without Knuckles say so she grabbed on to the collar of his uniform and ran off, dragging him behind.
When they finally got there the school gate was closed. The first day of school and they were locked out.
“WHAAAA! LET US IN!” the cat whined.
“Oh stop whining that’s not going to get us anywhere, Blonde.”
“My name is Serena, not Blonde!” She hated it when people called her that.
“Well, I’m Knuckles, guardian of the floating island.”
“What is a guardian? I’m sorry, but I just moved her with some of my friends so we’re kind of in the dark.” You could tell she was totally clueless.
“A guardian is an echidna of the Floating Island who watches over the Master Emerald to make sure that it doesn’t fall and hit the ground.”
“How did it get to be floating?”
“LEARN IT IN HISTORY CLASS!” Knuckles was getting very annoyed.
“What if I don’t have history class?”
“SHUT UP!”
“That’s not very nice!”
Knuckles was in a bad enough mode already, he did not have time for this. He had to find a way to get into school. He was about to get ready and fly over the fence until the gate swung open.
“Its about time!” Serena said angrily.
Knuckles had now been walking through the hall for about five minutes until he found his first period class. He was about to walk in then…
RIIIINNNGGG! BANG!
The door hit Knuckles right in the face.
“Ow…”
“Excuse me,” said the teacher in a furious rage,” are you Knuckles?”
“Uhh, yes.”
“DETENTION NOW! YOU MISSED THE INTIRE PERIOD!”
Knuckles just stood there stunned. What would his father say?
“Way lame. The dean’s office,” he said while entering the waiting room. He then took a seat with a girl grizzly bear with beautiful rose earrings.
“So what are you in for?” Knuckles asked.
“Picking a fight with the biggest loser on the planet! He was the one who started it and I get in trouble!” she said. You could tell she was dead angry by the look on her face.
“Oh, well who threw the first punch?”
“I di…” She stopped before finishing the sentence. She then gave him an evil glare. “Your pretty smart aren’t you? The name’s Lita, glad to meet you.”
“My name is…”
“Knuckles the dean will see you now,” the lady said before he could finish.
“Err… Good-bye.”
“Good luck,” said Lita,” you’ll need it.”
He then walked into the room and had a seat. Knuckles couldn’t see the dean’s face, because the chair was turned all the way around.
“Late are we,” he said seriously,” We’ll settle with punishment later! First, I want to get to know you a little better than before.”
The voice he heard was very familiar, he couldn’t quite put it in his mine who it was.
“I’m sure you recognize me!” His chair then turned around to reveal…
