#she makes me laugh because this is the second time she has yapped about sonic and its not a lot but its funny how it has happened twice

[rainforum]

“     the teleporter from the fantastic four movie…     ”     she tries to make memory of the movie with a small purse on her lips,     a gentle hum echoing from the back of her throat.     “     i don’t think i remember that scene.     are you talking about the old fantastic four movies or the one that was released a few years ago?     and i will be honest,     the tube mention just reminded me of a scene from sonic heroes.     ”     …and there she goes,     “     shadow the hedgehog was kept in a tube—-capsule?    at the beginning of his story since he had just been created and needed to be activated to wake up from his sleep,      but he wasn’t there to be teleported or anything,     he was kept there after his creation since he was presumed dead.     he can teleport with chaos control,    though.    maybe instead of a tube you could use shadow as your teleportation machine’s inspiration instead,      especially because he can do all that with a gold bracelet.     very cool and trendy.     ”     mona shrugs as if she had just finished talking about the weather,      not thinking too much about how…      silly she would have sounded.     because if there was one thing about mona,      especially when she was comfortable and she was always that with myles,      it was that she was a certified yapper when it came to topics she was interested in,      as silly as they may be or sound.      she returns to the glasses display before answering,      “      now that you’re saying it like that,     you’re right!     but it’s not as stupid as you think because you do need to try out different frames before getting your prescribed glasses.     it’s a different story if you’re looking for glasses to rest your sight,     though.     ”     she explains while looking for the frame she wanted him to try out,      a tiny     ah-ha!     slipping past her lips once she had found and reached for a wider,     more circular frame that she imagined would look stellar on him,     “     because what if the doctor chooses to prescribe a frame that you don’t like thus you never wearing them?      that would be such a waste of time and money—-     myles,     try this one,     ”     she removes the glasses he’s wearing to replace them with the new ones,     and she eyes his features curiously before directing him to the mirror with a nod of her head,     “     what do you think?     i think this one fits you better.     makes you look even smarter and handsome-er.     ”

" i dunno , probably something like the teleporter from fantastic four . you know , where they gotta suit up like they're going to space and then get in those WEIRD metal tubes ... do you remember that too , or did i just make that up ? " maybe he needs to rewatch that movie before attempting to conjure up a teleportation device . nose wrinkles up suddenly , " i'd hate for my last name to be cabbage . " right , because that's DEFINITELY what she just said . " but more power to her — i also believe in her ! " she calls him handsome , and now the only thing he can really focus on is willing his ears not to go BRIGHT red . then she squeezes his cheek , and he knows there's no hiding his flush . guess he'll just have to roll with it ... his face is ALWAYS this pink , yup ! " i don't know , silly . that's why i brought you with me . " it's not like he's going to wear them anyways . he'll just continue squinting to see on the ice . " shopping for glasses is kinda stupid when you think about it ... you have to try on glasses with fake lenses , so you can't even really see what they look like anyways ! "

A Typical Monday and Tuesday in Sonic’s Sylvania Life

[What’s normal for Sonic.]

Monday:

Awake at 8:00, dressed, teeth brushed, shoes tapped on by 8:05, at breakfast by 8:10. Some mornings, it’s earlier, some it’s later, but that’s the usual. He eats robotically, waiting for Knuckles to show up at 8:30, where they then sit and study together for about ten minutes. Knuckles eats grapes and other assorted fruits because he can’t quite stomach a heavy breakfast, and they rise for class at 8:40.

Arrive at herbology at around 8:50 because he likes to walk with Knuckles instead of rushing around. Sonic tries to keep the speed down to a minimum in the morning because he has a lot going on in his head and he might not be able to convince his mind to pay attention with all that bouncing around. It’s easier just to walk with his friend, talking in code so no one can understand their super-secret Chaos gossip.

Herbology runs from 9am to 10:20, and today they’re learning about sodafruit, which is a bright blue magical fruit that pops and fizzles when you bite into it. “It’s an important magical ingredient,” Professor Vanilla says as she passes small samples out to the class. It’s a soft fruit, but it hisses in Sonic’s hands as he bounces it from palm to palm. “It’s used in potions and even in Tea Cakes’ famous soda cakes.”

Sonic takes the appropriate amount of notes and draws a little sketch of the fruit next to them, because he’s found that having pictures of the plants really helps him remember later. His notes are as follows:

[Sodafruit features!

grapefruit sized!

bright blue with small white spots!

top hat!

stiffens as shaken!

little bulb on top can be cracked off like a coconut!

pulpy juice inside! it fizzles!

it’s delicious!

it’s fun to shake up and crack open and shoot it at your friends!]

Herbology ends at 10:20, but Sonic has to stay after a few minutes to get reprimanded for spraying sodafruit juice at Scout, so he makes it to his next class at 10:25 instead of 10:21. Charms is the typical crapshoot because Sonic’s magic doesn’t work most of the time. Professor Robotnik assigns him the wand-lighting charm while everyone else is working on the softening charm, and he says “Lumos” at a mumble.

His wand lights up on the first try, which surprises everyone in the room, Sonic most of all. He woops and flails his wand around like it’s a sparkler, drawing small pictures in the afterimages, and he can’t stop smiling the whole class. Every time he tries, it works, and he can tell Professor Robotnik is proud of him.

After Charms, it’s lunch from noon to 1pm. Sonic and Knuckles sit at the Gryffindor table today, and they chat with Scout and a few other first years. Out of the corner of his eye, he sees Rouge and waves her over, but she’s sitting next to Shadow at the Slytherin table, probably trying to get some information out of him as per her and Sonic’s deal.

History of Magic from 1pm to 2:20. It’s a bit of a snooze, but at least it doesn’t require wand work, and Sonic’s grades reflect that. He gets a test back with a high A written in Professor Pickle’s shaky hand.

Fourth period is a break for first year Gryffindors, so Sonic takes a bit of a jog around the castle, looking for any secrets he hasn’t found yet. He takes a nap sometime around 4 and wakes up just in time for dinner. Meets Knuckles in the Great Hall to eat and then they break for their own activities. Usually, Knuckles heads for the Room of Requirement to meditate and Sonic searches for Shadow to catch him in the act. Which act, Sonic isn’t sure, but there’s gotta be some kind of drama going on with all of Shadow’s mysterious behavior.

After 7, Sonic joins Knuckles in the Room of Requirement and they do homework together until 9pm, when curfew strikes and they have to head to their respective common rooms. Sonic sits up in bed until midnight, practicing his pronunciation and wand waves. He goes to bed with the vague hope that his magic will work in the morning.

Tuesday:

Morning routine the same. Wake up, get dressed, breakfast, studying with Knuckles between 8:00 and 8:40. Sonic eats eggs this morning because it’s raining and he feels like it. These are the high points of his life in a magic school where his magic doesn’t work.

Defense Against the Dark Arts: 9-10:20am. Today they’re learning about Blitzhounds, who “aren’t mean. They’re our friends. Everyone needs to know,” according to Professor Marine as she cuddles the one that was hiding behind her desk. “His name is Angus,” she continues as she strokes his head. The Blitzhound is a small, dog-like creature, about a meter tall, with long, wispy whiskers and a fur collar. It’s blind but can paralyze people with electricity.

Sonic does a small sketch and makes notes like always:

dark blue!

four legs!

likes sodafruit! it gives the blitzhound its blue color!

babies are gray until they eat a lot of sodafruit!

(i made a joke to professor marine about electrolytes and she laughed!)

blind but sense movement!

a good and soft boy!

whiskers like a koi fish!

almost taller than me!

angus tried to hide but he couldn’t fit behind the desk so his butt hung out!

they yap!

After Defense, Sonic has a break from 10:30 until lunch at noon, so he decides to go hang out in the Room of Requirement, where Knuckles is taking a nap. Sonic is pretty sure Knuckles has class second period, but he doesn’t bother to wake his friend. He knows that Knuckles, even after being here for a year, is still adjusting to the Sylvania schedule, so he takes naps when he can. If he’s not up for class, then it’s a class he can afford to miss.

Sonic practices Lumos and snacks of a sodafruit he nicked from the greenhouses on his way over. He’s pretty flawless at Lumos, amazingly, which means that it’s either the most basic spell known to magic, or he’s getting better. Emboldened by this, he tries the levitation spell on the sodafruit and it barely wobbles, much to his chagrin.

Lunch is the same as usual. Sonic eats stew and tries to study for his Charms test (which he forgot about, but probably won’t pass anyway because he can’t do the practical magic). Knuckles wishes him luck when they part ways, and he goes into double Charms prepared to fail.

At 3:50 he emerges from Charms feeling both broken and accomplished. He had a different test from everyone else, which he aced, and that’s both an encouragement and a bit of a disappointment. He knows he’s a special case when it comes to magic, but he still wants to do the same things as his classmates.

Before dinner, Sonic and Knuckles meet in the Room for a bit of a Chaos lesson. Knuckles is trying to teach Sonic how to spindash, which is a technique he learned from his mother, and Sonic is getting it, which helps his self-esteem some. He’s just better suited for Chaos stuff than magic.

He spends dinner with Rouge, Espio, and Knuckles. They talk about quidditch and upcoming tests. Sonic bemoans his Charms test and they all give him sympathetic looks and promise to help him practice.

That night, he goes to bed feeling a bit better, but not much.
