I'm going through a little writer's block on the story due to busy stuff outside of social media. I'm not giving up by growing up. My inner Sonic fan is still in me.

Kings and Queens song belongs to Ava Max.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Sonic's POV)

Around noon, Amy knows how to put on makeup like an artist painting a canvas. She wanted me to come with her to see Mina Mongoose performing her song in the city.

"Looking forward to this for a long time, have you?" I asked her.

"Trust me you're gonna love her songs," Amy said.

"I heard all of her songs except the new one," I said.

"Her song is an inspiration of royalty," Amy said.

"Interesting. By the way, you look great in that makeup." I said, Amy smiled at my comment.

"Thank you Sonikku." Amy said and held my hand.

"Milady Rose," I said.

"Being a royal gentleman are you?" Amy smirked.

"Yeah, for you Ames," I said as we walked out.

We found the stage performance in the city and we have arrived early since our pop star singer is getting ready while her bodyguards are standing on watch. I'm pretty sure Mina has gotten a successful career.

"Just a few minutes until the whole crowd's here," I said.

I see the band members getting to their musical instruments and the announcer with the microphone, "Ladies and gentlemen! Here she is, Mina Mongoose!" He said.

And there she was, Mina stepping out on the stage. She waved at the crowd and poked the microphone to see if it's working, "Welcome everyone, are you excited to see my performance?!" She spoke out.

The crowd shouted out "Yeah!" and Mina smiled.

"Very well, I sure am ready for this evening! Now let us get ready to go Songoose!"

If all of the kings had their queens on the throne

We would pop champagne and raise a toast

To all of the queens who are fighting alone

Baby, you're not dancin' on your own

-

Can't live without me, you wanna, but you can't, no, no, no

Think it's funny, but honey, can't run this show on your own

I can feel my body shake, there's only so much I can take

I'll show you how a real queen behaves, oh

-

No damsel in distress, don't need to save me

Once I start breathin' fire, you can't tame me

And you might think I'm weak without a sword

But if I had one, it'd be bigger than yours

-

If all of the kings had their queens on the throne

We would pop champagne and raise a toast

To all of the queens who are fighting alone

Baby, you're not dancin' on your own

-

Disobey me, then baby, it's off with your head

Gonna change it and make it a world you won't forget, oh-oh, oh

No damsel in distress, don't need to save me

Once I start breathin' fire, you can't tame me

And you might think I'm weak without a sword

But I'm stronger than I ever was before

-

If all of the kings had their queens on the throne

We would pop champagne and raise a toast

To all of the queens who are fighting alone

Baby, you're not dancin' on your own

Wow, she's a talented singer. She would often swing her purple hair and make some cool moves while dancing.

"She's great isn't she?" Amy asked me.

"Yeah, but she got a boyfriend already," I said.

"Yeah, Ash," Amy replied as we keep watching Mina.

No wonder the guys said she transferred to a new school to get her singing career. And she sure succeeded so far.

In chess, the king can move one space at a time

But queens are free to go wherever they like

You get too close, you'll get a royalty high

So breathe it in to feel the love

-

If all of the kings had their queens on the throne

We would pop champagne and raise a toast

To all of the queens who are fighting alone

Baby, you're not dancin' on your own

As the song ended, the crowd went wild, "Thank you, everyone, you've been a wonderful audience." Mina bowed.

-

A while later, we went back to the school campus and as we arrived at our dorm, we saw what looks like a toilet smoking prank.

"Hex sure likes to prank us again." Amy shook her head.

"I think it's funny." I snickered.

"Well, no smoking here," Amy said.

"And no toilet paper getting wasted." I chuckled and put the toilet papers back in the cabinet.

"That's another reason that Hex has bad luck powers to prank," Amy said, removing the paper towel tube off the toilet seat lid.

"Sometimes pranks go too far," I said.

"Fiona once did put superglue in the girls' bathroom toilet seats. Cream and I got stuck for 2 hours until Rouge gave us nail polish remover to get us free. After that, Fiona was suspended for a week. That kind of prank was too far." Amy said, cringing at the thought of it.

"Funny, yes. But going too far is not funny. Superglue to the toilet seat should be illegal." I said, lying down on my bed.

"It really should," Amy replied.

"Yeah. Pranks can be harmful at times too." I said.

"Mmmhmm." Amy nods.

"Anyways, I gotta get to being basketball captain to teach the boys some strategies," I said, grabbing my gym bag.

"Go get them, tiger," Amy said.

"Rawr!" I playfully growled like a tiger and head my way to the gym.

-

Once I arrived there, I saw my buddies ready. They were all wearing pink and blue basketball outfits with the white Pegasus symbol as our high school mascot.

"Alright, guys. Let's get ready to dribble!" I spoke out.

"Oh yes!" Knuckles shouted in excitement.

"Remember, always have a strategic attitude to never let your enemy steal something from you." I said as I spun the ball on my finger, "Which is the basketball."

"Yes, Sonic." They all agreed.

"Well then. We'll start in Three...two...one!" I blew the whistle.

Tails caught the ball after I threw it and he dribbles it around and ran before passing the ball to Shadow. He dribbled it back and forth before running to the hop and threw it into the net.

"Bravo, boys. Bravo. But don't get too cocky to think this is easy." I said.

"Copy that." Shadow caught the ball and passed it to Silver.

"Now get that flexibility to evade," I said.

Silver nods and swiftly dribbled the ball between our players to get to the hop. With one leap he managed to throw the ball into the net.

"Score!" He cheered.

"This is training, not an actual game, Silver." Espio took the ball.

"Training or real is like making perfect practice," I said.

"Then the more we can outsmart the other team." Tails said.

"Like this?" Shadow out of nowhere poured a bucket of ice-cold water on me like an ice bucket challenge.

"EEEEK! What the hell Shadow!" I turned around to scold him.

"At games, there's always ice bucket challenges." Shadow chuckled.

"That was cold!" I shivered at how many ice cubes there were in.

"And I thought you were a tough guy," Shadow said.

"Hmph, don't push it, Faker," I said as I shook the water off my fur.

"Anyways, with much stealth and strategy, there's a chance you'll win. I hope my skills inspire you to do the same with football, Knuckles." I said to him.

"I'll do my best, Sonic. I better not use too much muscle." Knuckles said.

"There is one thing. Zazz the skinny tall zeti is the captain and he makes his team go brutal against the other teams." Shadow said.

"We'll show them who's brutal," I said.

"And let's not forget that our princesses are gonna cheer us all." Silver said with a blush.

"So you wanna get some fireworks from yours?" I joked.

"Funny but no." Silver was not amused.

"Just a little joke, Silver," I explained.

"Your jokes don't amuse me that much." Silver rolled his eyes.

"Right sorry." I shrugged, "Anyways, head to the showers! You boys sweat like crazy." I said.

So they all went to the locker room with me. The Zeti high school punks are like the opposite of our school. I know for sure Zavok will use brutal tactics.
