The morning sun slowly rose and everything was in bright sunlight. Plants grew out of their sleep, brides began to fly around, and people were waking up and getting to businesses.

After the massive war for the entire multiverse, it had been in peace, and it was safe all thanks to two of the most powerful heroes, Sonic the Hedgehog and Strike the Speed Force God.

A bus was driving down a road far into the woods to the location know as Camp Everfree; a camp that had been in the country for generations. The students of Canterlot High School were all in seats wearing their clothing for the camp and having conversations with each other. Sonic, his Mobian friends, their girlfriends, and Twilight were on there. The girls had left their Chaos Emeralds in a safe place at their homes.

Sonic was a teenage boy with bright peach colored skin, admiral blue spiky hair with emerald green speed glasses in it, and green emerald eyes. He was wearing a navy blue non-sleeve hoodie over a white shirt with the Camp Everfree logo on the chest, cobalt blue cargo pants with two pockets on each side of the legs, and bright crimson red and white striped running shoes. For accessories, he had a mocha brown bandana around his neck, on his hands were white fingerless gloves with white sports tape and a lapis blue wristband on each wrist, a bright silver guitar medallion necklace around his neck under his bandana, and he even had his Enerbeam device from his fight with Lyric on his wrist with a blue glow.

Rainbow Dash was Sonic's girlfriend. She was a girl with cyan-blue colored skin, rainbow hair, and pink magenta, violet eyes. She was wearing a white T-shirt with rose red on the shoulders and arms and the Camp Everfree logo on the chest, aqua-blue pants with a pocket on each side, a primary colored wristband on each wrist, white socks with primary colored strips at the top, and bright red and white running shoes with a bright yellow lightning bolt on the ankles.

Sonic and Rainbow were sitting beside each other holding each other's hands. They were looking at the nature from out the window.

"I'll be honest, Dashie, I'm actually feeling excited for my very first class field trip. You feeling excited?" Sonic asked.

Rainbow blushed at Sonic by her little nickname, but smiled, "Heck, yeah, Sonic. This is gonna be fun."

"It's going to be really fun being there with you," Sonic said.

Rainbow wrapped her arms around Sonic's neck, "I know."

Sonic smiled before he and his girlfriend pulled each other into a kiss on the lips. That was until, "No! STOP!"

Sonic and Rainbow looked to see that their friend, Twilight Sparkle was freaking out until her dog, Spike calmed her down, "Twilight, wake up."

Twilight Sparkle was a girl with lavender purple skin, her hair was dark berry blue with two streaks; one violet purple and the other magenta pink, and it was tied up in a ponytail, and she had violet purple eyes. She was wearing black glasses over her eyes, an arctic blue shirt with a cobalt blue collar and the Camp Everfree logo on the chest, dark violet purple shorts with white stars on them with a lighter violet purple belt with a magenta purple star on the center on the front, long white socks with hot pink strips at the top, and amethyst-violet purple and white shoes with a magenta purple star on each side.

Spike was a small iris purple dog with apple green eyes, parakeet green spiked up hair, chartreuse green ears, and a denim blue collar with silver spikes and a gold dog tag with a pink heart in the middle. He also had a normal blue Camp Everfree hat on his head.

Manic, Pinkie Pie, Shadow, and Sunset Shimmer were all sitting behind Twilight and Spike's seat. "We can't stop, silly. We're not there yet," Pinkie said.

Manic was a teenage boy with peach skin, chartreuse green hair that was in the look of a rock style, sky blue eyes, and a black earing in each ear. He was wearing a chartreuse green non-sleeve hoodie with the Camp Everfree logo on the chest over a white T-shirt, basil green cargo pants with two pockets on each side of the legs, and parakeet green and white striped running shoes.

Pinkie Pie was Manic's girlfriend. She had blush pink skin, fuscia-strawberry pink fluffed up hair, and sky blue eyes. She was wearing a white T-shirt with taffy pink on the shoulders and arms and the Camp Everfree logo on the chest, cerulean blue shorts with a bright yellow and watermelon pink balloon on each side and a merigold orange belt with a magenta purple heart on the center on the front, long white socks with bubblegum pink strips on the top, and Aegean blue and fuscia pink hiking boots with orchid purple laces.

Shadow was a teenage boy with peach skin, crimson red eyes, and his hair was black with crimson red highlights. He was wearing a long sleeve coal black shirt with crimson scarlet red on the shoulders and arms, raven black jeans, and merigold orange and crimson red striped hover shoes with bright gold rings. He also had pure gold rings on his wrists, ink black fingerless gloves, and what looked like an onyx black belt around his waist with two empty pistol holsters on both sides.

Sunset Shimmer was Shadow's girlfriend. She had yellowish-orange skin, bright red and bumblebee-yellow hair, and aqua greenish-blue eyes. She was wearing a white shirt with magenta purple on the shoulders and arms and the Camp Everfree logo on the chest, ash grey shorts with a currant red belt with a shimmering red and yellow sun on the center on the front, reddish pink socks, and charcoal and tan-yellow hiking shoes with crimson red laces.

"Hey, are you okay?" Sunset asked Twilight.

"You gave quite a bit of a scream," Manic said.

"Heh, I'm fine," Twilight said.

Sunset was about to say something else when Pinkie spoke, "We are gonna have so much fun! We're gonna roast marshmallows, and eat marshmallows and sleep on marshmallows pillows!"

"Yeah, probably not gonna do that," Rainbow said.

"Maybe you're not," Pinkie said before putting a bag of different colored marshmallows against her cheek, making Manic chuckle.

The principle of Canterlot High School, Celestia, spoke, "Attention, students. We're almost there, but before we arrive, we just wanted to say how proud we are of you for raising enough money to go on this class field trip."

"When we were your age," Vice-Principle Luna said, "We made some of our favorite memories in these woods. And we're sure you will too."

"And we are really glad that you and your friends had chosen to come with us as well, Sonic," Celestia said.

"Hey, it's no problem, Principle Celestia," Sonic said, "We're happy to help support no matter what."

"Now," Celestia said, "Who's excited for Camp Everfree?"

All the students cheered in excitement for the trip. Sonic noticed that Twilight had slight smile on her face, but also a bit of worry. He hoped that she was okay.

Later, the school bus had arrived at the camp. There were a few different types of small and big wooden buildings, benches, an area with a few types of activities; rock climbing and archery, many tents for different groups that would later be set up, and a small beach with a few sails boats and docks.

The students stepped out of the bus and began to grab their bags. Two of Sonic's friends, Tails and his girlfriend Fluttershy, looked around the area.

Tails was a teenage boy with peach colored skin, orange-yellow hair with specks of white on the tips, and sky blue eyes. He was wearing a honey orange T-shirt with the Camp Everfree logo on the chest, mocha brown cargo pants with two pockets on each side of the legs, and cherry red and white hiking shoes. He also had carob brown engineer goggles in his hair, white gloves on his hands, an Aegean blue bandana around his neck, and an Enerbeam device like Sonic's on his wrist, but the glow was orange.

Fluttershy was a teenage girl with cream yellow skin, her hair was long and bright pink that fell to her waist with a white butterfly hairclip in it, and she had teal blue eyes. She was wearing a white tank top with fern green lining around the open parts and the Camp Everfree logo on the chest, a fern green skirt with two pockets on the front, white long socks with crepe pink dots, and watermelon/ballet slipper pink and white hiking shoes.

"Isn't Camp Everfree just beautiful?" Fluttershy asked.

"It really is," Tails said, "I can't wait to go on our first nature walk."

"You actually want to see the cute animals?" Fluttershy asked.

"Sure," Tails smiled, "I'd do anything to make you feel happy."

Fluttershy blushed deeply, but she smiled, "Oh, come here," she said as she softly cupped her boyfriend's cheeks and pulled him into a soft kiss, which he returned as well.

"I definitely want to go on one of those," Spike said.

"You want to see all the adorable whipping creatures too?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yeah," Spike answered, "Specifically, squirrels. More specifically so I can chase them."

Spike gave a bark and panted. Knuckles and Applejack chuckled.

Knuckles was a teenage boy with tan skin, purple eyes, and crimson red hair that went down to his shoulders. He was wearing a currant red T-shirt with the Camp Everfree logo on the chest, wood brown cargo pants with two pockets on each side of the legs, and amber orange and pine green hiking shoes. He also had white fingerless gloves with two spikes on his hands, and the same Enerbeam device as well, but the glow was red.

Applejack was Knuckles' girlfriend. She had light orange skin, blonde yellow hair tied up in a ponytail that fell to the middle of her back, a few specs of white on both her cheeks, and bright green emerald eyes. She was wearing a Stetson tortilla brown cowboy hat, a white shirt with a shamrock green collar and the Camp Everfree logo on the chest, Aegean blue shorts with a penny brown belt around her waist with a crimson red apple looking buckle on the front, and cinnamon and peanut brown cowgirl boots.

"Knuckles and I are just lookin' forward to roughin' it," Applejack said as she rubbed her hands.

"Yeah," Knuckles said, "We're gonna make our own shelters, forage for food…"

Sonic and Rainbow walked by with their bags. "Uh, you know they provide us with food and tents, right?" Rainbow asked.

"Yep!" Applejack said, "Still gonna forage though."

Silver and Rarity stood next to a pile of suitcases and backpacks. Silver was a teenage boy with peach skin, his silver hairstyle showed five points to the top pointing up in the front and two long locks going down to his back while a few shorter points were in front of his forehead, and he had gold yellow eyes. He was wearing a cloud grey T-shirt with the Camp Everfree logo on the chest, anchor cargo pants with two pockets on each side of the legs, and cyan blue and gold yellow hiking shoes. He also had had white fingerless gloves on his hands with cyan blue symbols and lining and bright gold rings on the wrists.

Rarity was Silver's girlfriend. She had pure white skin, slightly dark violet purple curly hair with a cerulean blue triple-diamond hairclip resting at front, and cobalt blue eyes. She was wearing a light pale blue sleeveless shirt with the Camp Everfree logo on the chest and white on the bottom, pale violet purple shorts with three white diamonds on each side of the legs, light pale blue socks with two regular purple diamonds on the sides, and white and sapphire blue hiking-heel blue shoes with three cerulean blue diamonds on the sides.

"Ho, this'll be fun," Silver said, "Won't it, love?"

"Oh, but of course, darling," Rarity said, "I'm just after some R'R. The past year has all been a bit too much for my tastes."

"I'll say," Pinkie said, "We fought three evil Sirens who tried to hypnotize everybody with their singing, one ridiculously competitive rival school, bad guys from the past and parallel worlds, and two demon friends."

Pinkie turned to see Sunset who was looking at her and Twilight who looked down sadly. She gave a bit of a nervous chuckle, "Uh, hehe, no offense."

"None taken," Sunset said, before she said to Twilight and softly punched her arm, "You'll get used to it."

"Yep," Applejack said, "Canterlot High has become a regular magic magnet."

"It's gonna be nice getting away to a place where we don't have to worry about that kind of stuff," Knuckles said.

"Agreed," Shadow said, "It'll definitely be a really relaxing trip, and for all of us to be together."

"And yet," Sonic said, "I wonder how Strike is doing. I've heard from him that Specter left his home town and went somewhere else."

Flash Sentry came to Twilight and handed her backpack to her, "Here you go, Twilight."

Twilight took her backpack, "Thanks. It's Flash, right?"

"Yep, that's me," Flash answered, "And you're you. And we don't know each other very well."

Flash just turned and said to himself, "Cool story, bro."

"Right," Twilight said, "I guess I'll see you around."

Flash nodded before walking away. Twilight turned to Sunset and Shadow and held her hands up, showing that she was saying, 'What was that about?'

Sunset placed her hand on Twilight's shoulder as she asked, "You know how there's that girl who looks just like you when she's here, but lives in another dimension and she's a pony princess?"

"Uh-huh," Twilight answered.

"Well, the thing is…" Shadow said, "Flash kind of had a… thing for her."

"Oh," Twilight said before she looked at Flash who was still walking.

Suddenly, there was a loud microphone feedback sound that made everyone cover their ears. "OW! Who's making that sound?" Manic asked.

A female voice spoke through a speaker from the wooden building next to the entrance/exit of the camp, "Hi, everyone! If you could start heading to the courtyard, that would be rad! It's time to start the best week of camp ever!"

The students all grabbed their bags and headed for the courtyard. "Ready, guys?" Sonic asked.

"Yeah, we're ready," the other Mobians said.

Later, everyone had gathered around in the courtyard of Camp Everfree. On the wooden round stage with a gazebo roof were a teenage girl and a teenage boy.

"Hi, everyone! Welcome to Camp Everfree," the girl said through a microphone. She had rouge pink skin, light and dark rosewood pink hair with white and yellow flowers in it, and shamrock green eyes. She was wearing a blonde yellow shirt with a bit of chartreuse green, cerulean blue shorts, and carob brown shoes with one of the same flowers on each. She also had a brown string with five small geodes. One was pink, one was yellow, one was white, one was orange, and one was bright blue.

The girl continued, "I'm Gloriosa Daisy, your camp director. Think of me as your friendly camp and nature guide. And this is my brother, Timber Spruce."

Timber Spruce had sepia tan skin, light and dark basil green hair with a pebble grey hat on, and fern green eyes. He was wearing a ruby red T-shirt with the Camp Everfree logo on the chest, pecan brown wristbands on his wrists, crocodile cargo shorts, and carob brown hiking shoes with mint green laces and cloud grey socks.

Timber took the microphone and made some action stances, "Think of me as that awesome guy who should always be invited to fun things."

Gloriosa took back the microphone back, "We aim to please so before we hand out our tent assignments, we'd like to hear from all of you. You're free to do whatever you like here."

That made the Mobians and the girls feel excited. Timber said, "Except hike near the rock quarry. That's off-limits."

Gloriosa then noticed Sonic and recognized him. She gasped, "Hey, you! The one with blur hair next to the rainbow haired girl! Are you…Sonic the Hedgehog?"

Sonic and the others were surprised. Gloriosa held the microphone towards Sonic so everyone could hear him answer, "Umm, yeah, that's me. How did you know?"

"Timber and I had heard about you from the battle of those bad guys with those super powers," Gloriosa replied, "Our friends might be friends with you as well."

Sonic and his friends all began to think for a moment, until they heard a voice that sounded really familiar to them, "Hey, everyone. What's up?"

Everyone turned to see two twin teenagers near one of the totem poles. One of them had had macaroon tan skin, bright sapphire blue hair with diamond red highlights, and cerulean blue eyes. He was wearing a cerulean blue short sleeve hoodie with the Camp Everfree logo on the chest over a stone blue T-shirt, sapphire blue cargo pants with two pockets on each side of the legs, and peacock and spruce blue striped running/hiking shoes. For accessories, he had lapis blue speed glasses in his hair, a denim blue bandana around his neck, white fingerless gloves with teal blue and gold yellow sports tape, and a ruby red wristband on each wrist.

The other boy had macaroon tan skin, crimson red hair with merigold orange highlights, and fire yellow eyes. He was wearing a pineapple short sleeve hoodie with the Camp Everfree logo on the chest over a merigold-orange T-shirt, mahogany red cargo pants with two pockets on each side of the legs, and scarlet red and amber orange striped running/hiking shoes. For accessories, he had merigold orange speed glasses in his hair, a gold yellow bandana around his neck, merlot red fingerless gloves with bronze orange and canary yellow sports tape, and a blonde yellow wristband on each wrist.

Gloriosa spoke, "Everyone, meet our friends…"

"Strike! Breeze!" Sunset said.

"You actually remember us?" Strike asked.

"Of course we do," Rainbow said, "Why wouldn't we? We're friends."

Strike and Breeze chuckled. "Yeah, it's great to see you again," Breeze said.

"So, what are you two doing here?" Sonic asked.

"We just decided to come here to this world for a little week's vacation. We met Gloriosa and Timber earlier, and they decided to let us be here for the week," Strike said.

"How's your Sunset doing, Strike?" Twilight asked.

"She's completely better again," Strike answered, "She just decided to rest for a little longer. Our friends at Central Atlanta said she should be fully recovered in a week."

Gloriosa spoke through the microphone, "Ahem, so, as Timber said, hiking near the rock quarry is off limits, but otherwise your options are wide open. So what activities will make this the very best week of your like ever?"

Gloriosa held the microphone down the students for them to answer. Rainbow raised her hand, "Rock climbing!"

"Done!" Gloriosa said.

"Archery!" Rainbow called again.

"Of course!" Gloriosa said.

Rainbow was about to talk again when Sonic held his hand in front of her, "Hey, hey, Rainbow. I know you're excited, but don't get over reactive about this, okay? We just got here."

Rainbow chuckled nervously and scratched the back of her hand while blushing, "Hehe, you're right."

Sonic turned to Gloriosa, "Sorry, ma'am, my girlfriend's just really excited for this kind of stuff."

"Oh, no worries, Sonic," Gloriosa said, "We have plenty of fun events here. Does anyone else know any activities?"

"Arts and crafts," Bulk Biceps said, "My mom needs new pot holders."

Gloriosa answered, "I'll supply the looms."

"Cookie decorating!" Pinkie said.

"Ooh, I do make a mean sugar cookie," Gloriosa said.

"Early morning nature walks," Fluttershy said.

"With walking sticks for everyone!" Gloriosa said.

"Oh, me!" Rarity said, "A fashion show where I design the most fabulous camp looks inspired by today's hottest trends and have them modeled by my classmates in a gorgeous outdoor setting!"

Surprisingly, Gloriosa answered, "A camp tradition!"

"Whoa, just like that?" Silver asked Rarity.

Rarity just smiled with her hands on her hips.

"We have literally never done that," Timber said to Gloriosa.

"Hey," Sonic said, "At least it's worth a try, right?"

"I'll be taking requests the rest of the time you're here, so if there's anything you'd like to do, anything you need, just ask," Gloriosa said.

While Gloriosa was talking, Timber noticed that Twilight was staring at him. He gave her a smile, and surprisingly, Twilight smiled back with a blush on her cheeks. Manic, Pinkie, Shadow, and Sunset noticed and smiled with a giggle.

"What about the camp gift?" Celestia asked, "That was my favorite Camp Everfree Tradition."

"The camp gift, of course!" Gloriosa answered.

"Really?" Timber whispered to his sister.

"Yes, really," Gloriosa said covering the microphone.

Breeze came between Gloriosa and Timber, "Hey, hey, hey, you two. Let's not get in an argument. We're here to make this the best week of camp, remember?"

Gloriosa and Timber chuckled, "All right."

Sonic whispered to his friends, "Is anyone else noticing the tension between Gloriosa and her brother?"

"Eh, a little bit," Manic whispered back.

Gloriosa explained about the camp gift, "Every year, campers work together to create something useful. A gift for future campers, working toward this common goal is key to forming the strong bond that will last well beyond your time here at camp."

Gloriosa covered the microphone and said to Timber, "Which is why it's so important."

Gloriosa continued, "This gazebo was a gift from last year's group. Oh, oh, oh, and the totem pole, and the sundial were also made by campers."

"The sundial was our year's gift," Celestia said.

Luna cleared her throat, "Even though some people saw it was a little impractical since the sundial can't be used at night."

Gloriosa chuckled, "You all seem like a really amazing group. SO I'm certain you'll come up with something inspiring to leave behind."

The students cheered in excitement.

"Speaking of leaving behind," Timber said, "Now's the time when we give out tent assignments, so you can leave your heavy bags behind."

Gloriosa smiled, "Ahem. So, Sonic."

"Yes, ma'am?" Sonic asked.

"Principle Celestia told me about you and your friends dating six of the girls and that you really love each other, so I decided you each can sleep together in the same tent that you and your friends' girlfriends will get."

Sonic, his friends, and the girls all smiled, "Thanks."

"Now, Sonic and his friends' girlfriends together, and the rest of the girls will be getting their assignments from Timber. Other guys, you're with me!" Gloriosa said.

Timber held out a bag for the girls to get their tent assignments. Manic and Pinkie were first.

"Go right ahead, Pinkie," Manic said.

"Oh, boy!" Pinkie said.

Pinkie put her hand in to grab something and then pulled out a card with the picture of an emerald on it, "Yay! Manic and I are in the Emerald tent!"

Rarity grabbed her card for her and Silver, "Oh, us too."

Applejack got her and Knuckles' card, "We're in Aquamarine."

"Us too!" Rainbow and Sonic said.

Rainbow and Applejack cheered while Sonic and Knuckles gave each other a fist bump.

"Tails and I got Amethyst," Fluttershy said.

Vinyl Scratch showed that she got that card too. She gave Tails and Fluttershy a thumbs-up, and they did the same back.

Sunset and Shadow got their card, "Sapphire."

"Me too," Twilight said, "I mean, I'm assuming I am."

"How exactly is hard to tell?" Shadow asked out of curiosity.

"Technically, sapphires aren't just blue," Twilight said, "They can be pink, purple, yellow…"

Timber came over to her, "Yeah, but they're mostly blue. That's why they're named after the Latin word 'saphirus'."

Twilight gave a little smile. Timber whispered to her, "That means blue."

"I know," Twilight said, "But did you know that sapphires are just rubies without chromium?"

"No," Timber said as he took the card while touching Twilight's had a little, making them both blush a little, "But did you know that Sapphire Tent is the best one?"

"No, why's that?" Twilight asked.

"Because you're in it," Timber said bouncing his eyebrows.

Twilight smiled as she took her card back, "Oh, I bet you say that to all the campers."

"Not true," Timber said, before he saw that Bulk Biceps got a card with a ruby, "You're in the Ruby Tent? Ha! That's the worst one!"

Bulk took that too seriously and crushed the card in his hand, "AWW MAAANN!"

"I'm just joking, buddy," Timber said, "Ruby Tent is great. It's like a sapphire, but WITH chromium."

Bulk just blinked before Timber said while Twilight giggled, "But the Ruby and Coral Tents do look an awful alike to the undiscerning eye. I'd better show you where it is."

Before he left to show Bulk where his tent, he said to Twilight, "See ya around."

As Timber left, Twilight thought about him. She could then hear Sonic, Rainbow, and Strike snickering and tittering while Breeze, Shadow, Sunset, Applejack, Knuckles, Silver and Rarity also saw.

"What?" Twilight asked.

"Heh, nothing," Applejack said with a smile.

"Nothing at all," Knuckles said.

"Ooh, that was adorable," Rarity cooed.

"It was pretty sweet," Silver said.
