Chapter One: Newsflash!

For Amy Rose, this was inexcusable.

The faint scent of the leaves fills up the air. It was a normal day like any other in the last days of Summer Vacation. It's been three, beautiful months that lasted almost like an eternity, something that everyone wishes to last forever, however, the cruel real world doesn't allow it. It's something that Amy Rose, a new Freshman, wishes could stay a bit longer not because she wants those blissful days back, but to avoid contact with the most annoying, self-centered jerk she has ever met. She means Sonic the Hedgehog.

She's outside in the park with one of her closest friends, Rouge. Of course, since school is beginning once again, schedules and orientations have begun, allowing both students and their parents see the challenges coming along their way. Both Amy and Rouge just had theirs the day before yesterday, at their new school, Emerald Möbius High School. They haven't compared each other's schedules until just today, something that Amy wants to share and see if she has any classes with her closest friends. To start a new school, it overwhelmed her and made her anxious, being enrolled in a High School. Just moments ago she was cheery and in her usual mood, but now she's appalled when she heard the most heart-wrenching words she has ever heard coming out Rouge's lavish lips.

"All of us are going to Emerald Möbius High, even Sonic and his gang."

Just her luck, she didn't want to hear that! She wasn't sure if she was overjoyed or devastated.

She thought that the cocky hedgehog would move or go choose a different school, however, this was not the case and it infuriated her that she's forced to see his cheeky grin again for the next four years. She already knew how he was; a prankster, a huge jerk, and he didn't even like her. She doesn't mind, it's something that hasn't bothered her at all. He ruined what could have been a potential crush for what he did all those years ago in grade school. Yes, it's a bit immature and childish to hold a grudge since the beginning, however they've known each other since then and their relationship has not improved what so ever, even when they're in the same class together.

She groaned out loudly and scrunched up her nose at the distaste of his name. Why would he do this to her? If he wants to torture her even before school started, this was something she would not forgive him for. Rouge lets her have her tiny moment; it's a hassle to have her all wind up because of the news she heard.

"Don't worry Amy," Rouge reassured her, "You have me, Blaze, Sonia, Tikal, and Wave to help… protect you from those jerks." She stopped mid sentence because this a feud between Sonic and Amy, and their friends were dragged along with it. Rouge didn't mind though; it was nice to see their feisty moments when they've confronted with each other; it usually ends with both screaming insults at each other as they are being dragged away by their friends.

The cheery girl let out a grunt, crossed her arms, and gave a small smile at Rouge's reassurance. "Thanks, but we all know how it's going to end, even with your guys' help." Amy didn't like how at the beginning of the school year, he would make a nasty prank on her and they would begin their long-lasting feud once again. Last year at Eighth Grade he knew her first period somehow and placed a whoopie fusion on her assigned seat; this made their whole relationship level down to an even more deeper hate.

Several principal meetings and detentions later, the two cannot cooperate whatsoever. Teachers tried several attempts to get them together, but it always leads to Sonic either insulting or pranking her or Amy doing the same back. Just thinking about him made her shiver, hating him to the point that she can't stand him. "Anyways, let's go and check if we have any classes together."

"Agreed." Rouge complied, getting out her schedule along with Amy.

They were both about to check on their other classes to see if they have any together until a clear voice was heard.

"Hey, guys!" Sonia waved her hand, jogging towards them with a sheet of paper on her hand. Amy and Rouge looked up, happy to see their fellow companion. There she is, Sonia the Hedgehog. Related to Sonic and Manic, the source of Amy's stresses. She's totally different from her brothers though, she was more involved in school activities and also part of the Student Government Association, president of the Freshmen.

"Hey, Sonia!" Amy exclaimed, happy to see her friend, "So, how did the first SGA meeting go? Are they already tiring you out?"

"Are you kidding?!" Sonia asked, grinning at the thought of the meeting today, "It was amazing! The upperclassmen executive boards greeted us with kindness and also respect! It's way more efficient than our middle school." Amy laughed lightly while Rouge rolled her eyes at Sonia's love for school politics. "Anyways, I had the authority to actually go through some of my friends' schedules and you won't believe what I saw."

"If it's about your brothers not going to another school, Rouge beat you to it," Amy said, pointing at Rouge with her thumb while the bat made a hair flip mischievously. Sonia chuckled but shook her head.

"No, that wasn't it. I wish though." Sonia commented, disliking her brothers but also not minding their stupidity. "Actually, I saw that some of us don't have classes together… Especially Amy."

Amy's eyes widened while Rouge stared at her in disbelief.

"Are you serious?"

"Totally," Sonia assured, showing them the paper, "This is the classes that all our friends take, along with the highlights showing our same period of that class. And as a result, Amy doesn't share any our class periods."

Amy couldn't believe her luck; it's been getting worse and worse by the minute, and she just wanted to know if she had any classes with her friends, that's all!

"Is there any way I could change them?" Amy asked, finding a way out of this mess. Sonia shook her head, the same disappointment across her face too.

"You have to take the class first and then opt out to your counselor."

Amy groaned again, and wanted to hit her head against the tree, however Rouge stopped her by having her hit her shoulder instead of the bark of the tree.

"This sucks," Amy whined, hating to not be in the same class as her friends.

"I know," Sonia reassured, placing a hand on the pink hedgehog's shoulder, "If it makes you feel any better, we have one more weekend before we go back to school. How about we use those days to our advantage and have some fun?" Amy looks up sadly, sniffing lightly and looking away from her aubergine friend towards the ground.

"How? We have to unpack in our dorms and also get our uniforms this weekend…"

"It's not the whole day, babe." Rouge chimed in, rubbing her back and acting wise, "Besides, you deserve it for all the hell you've been put through today."

Amy looks up to her friends and sees comfort in their eyes. She smiles lightly, and stands up straight and wipes her eyes. They were right, she does deserve it!

"Yeah! And what's not to say we have our little get-togethers? Thanks, girls," Amy said, wrapping her arms around her closest friends, "You guys are the best friends a girl could ever ask for!" They both grinned at the compliment, relieved that she was back to usual bright self.

Thanks to her friends, Amy felt like she could go through this. Sonia is part of the school government, Rouge is always the one bringing her back her usual self, and the rest of friends are always helping her go through the tough parts of life. Not only are they good friends, they are almost sisters to her, sisters that she never really had since she's an only child. Thanks to her parents though, she's able to live in dorms in her closest friends, something that she has wished since middle school.

Besides, it's not like she's going to have classes with her one-time mortal enemy or with the rest of his loser friends. She can't have that much bad luck in one day, right?

… right?

Sonic thought that this was hilarious in a way.

Not like the little laugh from a lame joke, but the one that makes you inhale even more breath to laugh even harder because of a statement your brother told you. He wiped a tear from his eyes, and couldn't believe what Manic just told him just a few moments ago. He found it funny because it was something he'd least expect would come out of his mouth, and the environment they are in just added more effect to it.

They were at their dorms, more specifically Tails and Sonic's room. They are still not done unpacking and Sonic wasn't going to until Tails came back from whatever he's doing later that day, or tomorrow. He didn't mind the boxes still closed off and not placed into the drawers; the room still felt foreign to him but he'll soon get used to it once Tails helps him actually organize their goddamn dorm.

Sonic began to calm down after his laughing fest and stared back at his brother who stared at him unamused and also really bothered by the fact that he laughed at him. He grinned arrogantly and after his laughing fit, he asked Manic a question.

"Tell me again what you were saying."

"... I said I was going to ask Amy Rose out." Manic repeated once again, which made the blue hedgehog laugh even harder than before. Manic only sighed and gave his brother a stare and waited for him to calm down again. Amy Rose, the Amy Rose?

Sonic knew her since they were kids, and she isn't all-that like she thinks she is. In his opinion, she was always a know-it-all and a brat that needed to be dragged down from her mighty alter. He remembered how mean and bossy she was before. Hell, she still is! She just knows how to control and use it against him, that's all.

She was annoying, he'll give her that, and that smug look she gives him whenever she gets her vengeance wants him to prank her even more, especially now that they are in high school… okay, maybe not since that's childish, even for him, but she deserves it for all the hell she's put him through. He gets her back several times and they're the ones who get in trouble, not their friends who helped them.

He knows for sure that his brother, Manic the Hedgehog, has had a crush on Amy ever since fifth grade. She was pretty, not weak, and she had a strong-willed mind. Manic said that was his type of women, although Sonic likes to differ because Amy is none of those previous characteristics previously mentioned.

Manic finally got tired of his boisterous laugh and snapped at him. "Oh, give me break! I'm really going to do it, just you wait!"

Sonic cleared his throat while laughing and lazily waved his hand at his brother. "You've been saying this elementary school. You're not going to do it."

"I am!" Manic declared, "I know for sure that Amy and I have a few classes together; I saw Sonia's screen when she left her laptop on yesterday."

Ah yes, their lovely female sister, Sonia. Since she's part of SGA, both Sonic and Manic like to go through her files and documents just to see how important it is in school as the president of the freshmen. Just a bunch of scholarship opportunities and volunteer work, nothing too important for the brothers. They left it alone for a couple of weeks after Sonia was elected, although Manic was interested in what Sonia knew about her friends so he decided to go through her laptop.

He got into her computer and saw Amy's schedule in the first tab, and eventually started to cheer because he shared a few classes with her that could make him score points with the pink beauty. He felt so determined to actually ask her out that he only told Sonic as of now, but now he's laughing his head off because he thought that Manic was joking once again.

"Oh yeah, I forgot Sonia did that," Sonic admitted, never really getting into what their sister is interested in. "Anyways, I don't think that could happen."

"Like, at all?"

"At all. Think about it; you're the brother of the guy she hates the most; me, and you're twice as bad as me but you don't pin it on her, instead you pin it on other girls and let's just say that's why you don't have that many available options in your dating life." Sonic explained, smirking at his brother who stared at him dumbfounded, "Do I need to elaborate more?"

Manic was about to protest, but nothing came out his mouth. He tried again, but he looked even more agitated than before. He eventually gave up and groaned out, lying on Sonic's new bed while Sonic gave out a cocky grin.

"Yeah, yeah I get it." Manic rolled his eyes, grabbing the pillow and eventually playing with it. "So, how about you? How are things going with Sally?"

As triplets, they don't really get into each other's business unless their big news or it's a new album from their favorite band and they decide to made covers for it. They decided to only check in once in awhile, explaining why Manic is in a different dorm than Sonic's. They can't always be together, it's creepy when they're finally in high school.

Speaking of which, now that they're in high school, a lot is going to change in terms of Sonic's life. He has an amazing girlfriend, Sally Acorn, and she's the sweetest person he has ever met. They began dating just before summer break started, and they've been going out ever since. She's fun to go out with, and Sonic really likes her. She's nothing compared to Amy. Sally is the girl he has eyes for.

"Mm.. okay I guess." Sonic replies, shrugging his shoulders and not telling his brothers any details. Manic raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean, "okay I guess?" It's an elaborate question." Manic retorts, hating how secretive his brother is whenever they hang out. Sonic scoffs and gives him another answer.

"We don't argue. There, is that better?"

"... Fine. Be that way." Manic said, yawning lazily and looking up at the ceiling. "Just don't let her get possessive towards you; some chicks don't like it when their boyfriends talk to other girls."

"Sally isn't like that." Sonic replies, defending his girlfriend's name, "She's nice. Literally, every girl at middle school liked her."

"She's alright, I guess. Not a ten, but she's alright-"

"Watch it."

"Sorry."

The brothers were then sent to a silence, but that silence was cut short when Tails came in and looked at two apathetic brothers still laying in bed like he left them just a few hours ago.

"I see that we made some progress." Tails said sarcastically, looking around and still seeing the boxes left untouched. Sonic gave him two thumbs up while Manic nodded. The fox sighed, and went towards his side of the room and told them his day. "So I went and talked to the administrator, and I found out that they have a program with advanced math and I can't believe I heard about it until just now-"

"Tails, as much as I like having you talk about your nerd life, I just want to relax." Sonic admitted, "Everyday you go on and on about school. Summer break hasn't even ended, just enjoy it for the last few days before it actually happens." Tails rolled his eyes and told Sonic about the reality of their final resting days.

"It's a Friday, we have three days left of break. What do you expect us to do? Not think about school and not do anything?"

"YES." Both brothers replied at the same time, leaving Tails out of their cozy laziness aura coming out of them. He sighed and shook his head.

"We really need to manage our time…"

To be continued...

Author's Note: Yes, I am back. Yes, this is a remake of my 2012 version of the same name. Yes, it was an eternity since I last wrote something for the fandom and yes, I am partially back to make this fanfic a better one than before. I have decided to write once again for STH, and I wanted my first fanfic back to be my original one that I wrote back in sixth grade. I'm now a Senior at High School, and I can't believe that several people loved this story before and wanted more from me. I am proud to say that I feel confident in my skills than before, plus I have no other hindrances in the way of writing good stories. I hope this is a proper apology for being inactive for such a long time (four-five years?) and now I am back with this story. The plot will stay the same, of course, but there will be some minor tweaks in the story since I actually didn't like some parts of the story that I have written before. There will be some new parts too just to keep the story fresh and not repetitive. I can't wait to write more for PnF!

Without much further ado, I present to you the remake of Past and Future, and hopefully, it is better than the first one (maybe, I don't know). Next chapter will be up soon, and the next chapter title is...

Chapter 02: Dorms, Uniforms, and Quarrels

See you soon!
