Sonic and his friends were all in class, awaiting the arrival of Mr. Zavok.

"Aw crap, Mr. Zavok is late! He's gonna take it out on me for sure!" Sonic said, getting a realistic hand and chewing the fingernails off of it rapidly.

"Calm down, Sonic! Maybe he'll hit someone else today!" Tails told him.

"Oh, yeah, in a story titled, "Sonic the Hedgehog Gets Detention", someone ELSE is going to get punished." Sonic said sarcastically.

Mr. Zavok walked into the class with a cheerful look and a smile on his face. Everyone dropped their jaws in dismay.

"M-Mr. Zavok? Are you feeling ok?" Amy asked, a bit creeped out.

Mr. Zavok skipped over to water a flower, and then returned back to his desk.

"Hello, class! Isn't today a GORGEOUS day?" He asked the class.

The entire class was scared out of their souls. They'd never seen Mr. Zavok so…optimistic.

"Yes, Silver?"

"Are you on crack?"

Mr. Zavok let out a guffaw. "Noooo, my child!"

"Are you in love?" Knuckles asked.

"Why, yes! I am in love! With this beautiful thing we call, LIFE!"

"That's it. He's lost it. I'm outta here." Shadow said, walking out of the classroom.

"Hehe! Goodbye friend!" Zavok said cheerfully. "Anyways, I have an end-of-course assignment for you all today! But before we get into that, Sonic, can you come to my desk for a minute?"

Sonic gulped, and slowly got out of his desk. He walked over to where Mr. Zavok was sitting.

"Yes?"

"Since you're my favorite student, I want you to have this. Got them delivered all the way from Southern Sarvonia" Zavok said, giving Sonic a bouquet of black roses.

"Gee, thanks Mr. Zavok!" Sonic said, going back to his seat.

"Wow, Sonic! They look beautiful!" Amy complimented.

"Duh, yeah! I wouldn't mind takin' one of those back home to my froggy!" Big added.

Sonic brought the flowers to his nose and sniffed them. "…Huh. No scent."

"Oh yeah. One teensy tiny detail." Mr. Zavok said, "You're not supposed to sniff them."

"Wha-" Sonic said, his face falling flat on his desk.

"Hm. So it turns out, black roses are poisonous…oh well. Class dismissed." Mr. Zavok said as he dragged Sonic to the wastebasket.

"Are you going to be nice tomorrow?" Silver asked.

"Was I nice today?" Zavok asked, smirking.

"Touché."
