Sonic woke up feeling a little dizzy. He didn't know where he was until he heard a familiar voice talk to him.
"Sonic?" she asked. "How do you feel?"
He looked at the voice and saw a white unicorn with wings… no alicorn. She had very lightly colorful mane and an image of the sun was on her flank.
"I feel… Dizzy," Sonic tried to stand on two legs but fell to all fours with a light clack. It somehow felt more natural for him to walk like this than he assumed he was walking his entire life.
"Not surprising," Said another female voice. He looked to see another alicorn that had mane the color of the night sky with the stars. She had indigo fur and a moon image on her flank. "It'll take a while for you to get used to that body."
"I should've seen that coming." said yet another alicorn. She looked purple with a single star on her flank. Her mane and tail were straight and had a highlight the color of her fur while the rest was violet.
"He must've wanted this a lot. Why did he ask for this?" again this was an alicorn. She was the most colorful of the bunch. Her mane was mixed pink, purple and white. Her fur was a very deep pink. The picture on her flank was a crystal heart. It took that one comment for Sonic to remember everything.
"How do I look?" Sonic asked.
"You look fine to me," Twilight answered. "Truth be told this kind of thing has never been done before… I'm glad it worked out for the better."
"So am I," said Celestia. "Now we need to give this form a name."
"I came up with one an hour ago," Cadence said. "How does 'Sonic Impact' sound?"
Sonic Impact… well Sonic the Hedgehog wouldn't work anymore, mostly because he wasn't a hedgehog. And really he couldn't come up with anything better to call himself than that.
"Sounds good to me."
Rainbow DashRainbow, Pinkie and Applejack were having lunch at Cupcake Corner. Rainbow had to wonder how Sonic's new body was going. She hadn't seen Twilight, Celestia, Cadence, Luna, or Sonic in half a day. It was almost time for her to start worrying. Maybe she was right to try to convince Sonic not to do it.
Then Pinkie's ears started flopping, her legs started shacking, and her eyes went batty (In that order). Normally when the Pinkie sense did this, Rainbow was going to start a sonic rainboom, otherwise it meant a storm was about to stop leaving a rainbow behind. Ten seconds later there was a loud explosion, followed by an outward moving rainbow, and a figure rushing through town.
"Was that… a sonic rainboom?" Applejack asked.
"Yeah… but how?" Pinkie asked. "I thought Dashy was the only one who could do that."
Rainbow understood how. Sonic's new body must've been finished. She was about to quietly celebrate, when she heard a loud crash from the edge of the Everfree Forest. She became worried and flew off for Fluttershy's cottage. Sure enough, Sonic had run straight through the wall, which sent all of Fluttershy's animals into a panic.
"Are you alright?" Dash asked. The head of a blue stallion rose out of the ruble. His hair was Spiky and styled going up and out. His eyes were green, and he must've hit the wall very hard because Dash could see stars.
"I'll be fine Rainbow," Sonic said. "I was just trying to get used to this body."
"Wow… it actually worked!" Dash said with surprise. "Remind me never to doubt the power of a princess."
"Sure thing. Oh by the way I got a new name for this body."
"What?"
"Sonic Impact."
"I'd like to get a look at the rest of you." Sonic stood up, revealing the rest of his body. He was an Earthling, like Applejack and Pinkie. His body was entirely blue, like he was as a hedgehog. His tail was red with a red strip halfway to the tip. And his Cutie Mark was a gold ring with a green emerald in the middle.
"What do you think?" Sonic asked. "Is it… me?"
"Yeah… it really is you."
Sonic ImpactSonic didn't really have a good place to stay, and now that he was a pony the tree was out of the question. He started wandering around Ponyville until he ran into a few familiar faces.
"Hey Sonic!" Scootaloo yelled. Sonic didn't notice that he was near the CMC's clubhouse.
"Scootaloo, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle," Sonic said. "Need more help trying to get your Cutie Marks?"
"Scootaloo wants to know if you could think of anything that would help us," Applebloom explained. After knowing Scootaloo for around a year now, one thing did come to mind.
"Have you ever tried a skating rink?"
"I'm no good at ice skating!" Scootaloo scolded.
"While I can't argue with that logic, that's not what I meant," Sonic led the CMC to an open field. Once there he started bending some things here, and twisting other things there. Pretty soon Sonic made a replica of Green Hill Zone.
"I want you to complete this course as fast as you can," Sonic said. "Don't be afraid to show off any tricks you can do, just finish the course with your scooter."
"This looks a little… challenging," Applebloom commented. "I mean, I've never seen a real roller skating rink with loop-de-loops."
"Well, at least I didn't build the rest of the scenery," Sonic said. "That would take robot construction skills that I don't have."
"Alright…" Scootaloo put on her helmet hopped on her scooter, and kicked herself forward. She flapped her wings as fast as a hummingbird's propelling the scooter faster down the course. When the scooter went airborne the first time, Scootaloo did a 720 spin. Then she went down the other side and went up the Loop-de-loop on the other side. Next was the spin cylinder. She went in one second and came out the next. Just when the CMC didn't think it could get any cooler, Scootaloo drove the Scooter up the side of a tree at an angle that wrapped around the tree once before she reached the top. The finish line for the course was set at the far end of a Grind Rail. Scootaloo hopped on and reached the end without even a scratch.
Sonic carried the CMC to the finish line to give Scootaloo her time.
"How was that?" Scootaloo said.
"Two minutes, thirty seven seconds," Sweetie Belle said.
"What was the point of that?" just as Scootaloo said it, an image of a scooter with a helmet on the handle appeared on her flank.
"That was the point."
Scootaloo was speechless, her eyes wide and her jaw dropped. Soon the cheeks that kept the jaw from hitting the dirt went up in a smile that would make Pinkie Pie jealous of how big Sonic made Scootaloo smile.
"THANK YOU SONIC!" she screamed. She wrapped her hooves around his neck nearly strangling him and pulling him to the dirt. "How could I ever repay you!?"
"Stop trying to strangle me?" Sonic's voice came squeaking out.
"Deal!" Scootaloo let Sonic go. He took a sharp inhale and he was soon back to a normal breathing pattern.
