I don't own Sonic or MLP

It would be cool if I did though

Not many people know this, but when Fluttershy wakes up, she takes a bit to remember where she is. Thus, finding herself on the floor of a child's bedroom came as somewhat of a surprise, as did the slight ache in her wing.

"-totally fine. But remember about how you've said that I'm not allowed to swim at night and how you wanted me to stay away from the adult pool?"

Oh right, we're at Chris's house. That woman on the... communication thing must be his mother.

"Um, well… not exactly. you see, there where these two cats that fell in the pool and I got them out."

Sonic, who Fluttershy finally noticed on the roof (she had just gone onto the balcony, after all), didn't look very pleased at being called a cat. Admittedly, the turned back ears didn't help his case.

After Chris hung up, Sonic hopped down to his new friends so he could make his opinion known. "I know saying that you saved a horse and a hedgehog from drowning would be weird by human standards, but did you have to call us cats?"

Fluttershy was confused, "what's wrong with cats?"

"...Long story"

Unfortunately, the phone rang before anyone could ask him to elaborate.

"Hello?"

"..."

"Hey dad, how are you?"

"….?"

"No scratches at all. I'm fine Dad, honest I am. It wasn't really that big a deal. After I jumped in and got them out of the water, they were really happy. I could tell."

Fluttershy quietly snickered at this part.

"Besides, I could've had grandpa or Ella or Mr. Tanaka to help me if I needed to. Don't worry, dad. their taking good care of me."

"..."

"Okay, dad. I promise. See ya soon."

The tone of disconnection was once again punctuated by the resident speed demon, only this time by his stomach.

Chris chuckled a bit at this, "I almost forgot, you both must be pretty hungry. I checked out hedgehogs and ponies and found the perfect things."

He then pulled out two bowls, one with crickets and the other with oats. While the pegasus's mouth was almost watering, the Hedgehog was much less pleased.

"Sorry kid, but bugs are more of a light snack than breakfast. I'll go find something in the city. Be back in a few."

And all that was left was a cloud of dust and an empty bowl.

Chris sighed, "is he always like this?"

Fluttershy swallowed before answering, "I wish I knew Chris, I wish I knew."

After Sonic got back smelling an awful lot like chilli, the trio went down to the currently unoccupied living room and turned on the news.

There could be only one thing on.

"The supersonic Speed Team and their strange quarry, seen here on police helicopter video, has the city frantic."

"It was about this high, blue and was carrying a little yellow horse."

"I was doing about 60 when this blur went 'wooo' right behind me!"

"That thing moved too fast to be a regular animal"

"As to the question of whether this is a UMA, Unidentified Mutant Animal, it is positively not. Even the cheetah, which is widely believed to be the fastest land-based member of the animal kingdom cannot outrun a speeding Formula-One police car. Because of this, the 'creature' is likely a highly advanced robot. Not enough is known about the pegasus to draw a feasible conclusion at this time."

The trio were paying varying degrees of attention to the TV (Fluttershy in particular was wondering how it worked). As such, they didn't notice when an elderly man with wild hair and a lab coat entered until he spoke.

"There you are! Guess what?! A big, blue hedgehog came out of nowhere and outran the S-Team yesterday!"

For the record, Fluttershy did not dive behind the couch because she was startled, but rather because she didn't want their cover to be blown. She was only shaking because the floor was colder than her seat.

"... Aha! It's him!"

"Easy, grandpa!"

H-hey, c-c-cut it out, I'm ticklish!"

As always, The Stare arrived precisely when it was needed, and directed itself to one Professor Charles Nicholas Thorndyke. Her rage was quiet, but terrifying to behold.

"You should be ashamed of yourself! Don't you know not to invade somepony's personal space?!"

"W-well yes,but-"

"BUT NOTHING! Put! Sonic! Down!"

Chuck put Sonic down.

Whatever Fluttershy was going to say next was interrupted by Scarlet Garcia.

"Now let's go live to this late-breaking story."

"Stay back, you uncouth charlitains!"

Fluttershy's head whipped around, "Rarity?!"

The screen now held an image of four strange creatures on top of a bill board. The one who had spoken was a white unicorn with soft lavender eyes, a stylized purple mane, and a mark on her flank consisting of three diamonds. She stood protectively in front of the other three.

Directly behind her was a Mobian rabbit with light brown fur. She had cheerful brown eyes; extra large ears; and wore an orange dress with a white collar, a blue ribbon, and red-and-orange shoes.

She was holding the other two beings, a blue and yellow fairy creature with a red bow tie and a small dragon with purple and green scales and big emerald eyes.

"Spike!"

"It's Cream and cheese!"

"It's who?" Chris was getting more confused by the second.

"We're not the only ones who got transported to Earth after all. I'll save those four!"

Before the Blue Blur made it to the end of the driveway, Chris realised something.

"Do you know where they are?"

Sonic proceeded to come back even faster than he left.

The group waited in the garage for Chuck to get off the phone with details.

" I thought they probably do something along those lines. Well, thanks very much for giving me the scoop and I'll talk to you soon."

He hung up and turned to the others. " Well, it seems like Sonic's friends have been captured by the police and moved to Area 99."

Chris gasped, "Area 99?! That's that top-secret military base!"

Sonic quirked an "eyebrow", "is that anything like Area 51?"

"Well it's smaller, but pretty much, yeah."

Chuck entered the conversation again, "Your friends have been taken there by the army and placed under 24-hour guard. The authorities believe they could be aliens or perhaps members of a mutant species developed by an enemy power designed to attack our population. I wonder if they might not be right, eh, Sonic?"

That comment struck nerves that Sonic didn't care to admit he had, "Think what you want! I'm gone! Now I know where my friends are, I'm outta here!"

Fluttershy finally spoke up, "But if you show up at Area 99, they'll lock you up too!"

Sonic just scoffed, "they can't lock me up!"

Chuck proceeded to do just that with the garage door.

"Open that door!" Chuck was really getting on his nerves.

The eldest Thorndyke pointedly ignored the irate hedgehog's demands, "You're going to need some help, Sonic. I'll go with you!"

Chris was shocked! "Grandpa, are you serious?!"

"Of course I'm serious and you're coming along, too. You told me you don't want to live a boring life like your father so here's your chance for some excitement!"

The youngest member of the group grinned. "Well, if you're up for it, I'm up for it! Just don't tell Dad!"

Something bubbled up inside of Fluttershy after hearing her new friends' bold statements; courage. "I'm coming too! Wouldn't want to leave a friend hanging."

The other three smiled at Fluttershy's brave words, then Chuck said' "Alright, let's get going!"

? POV

I rode my personalized moped across the desert, contemplating my situation.

I had awoken this morning in an alley in an unfamiliar city. Wandering the streets as my alter ego, I learned that I was in Station Square, a city I had never heard of. my communication devices registered as Out Of Range, a clear sign that this was another dimension. I was drawn to a commotion, to find a unicorn defending a large humanoid rabbit, a young dragon and an unidentifiable blue creature. They were all clearly frightened.

The unusual quartet was eventually apprehended, and I opted to follow from a considerable distance, using an unjammable tracking device attached to one officer who nearly stepped on my tail.

I regained focus when the compound was in sight, stopping a mile or so away and collapsing the motorized scooter into it's more portable form before placing it in hammerspace.

One short trek and a bit of sneaking later and I was in the vents. The laser grid was painfully easy to get rid of, and smoof if I didn't know my way around a retinal scanner. No, the hard part would be the cameras.

As luck would have it, I had my "plunger straps" with me, so I just crawled across the ceiling, only to find a humanoid blue hedgehog and a yellow pegasus expertly utilizing the camera grid's short but glaring blind spots. I had wondered if I could get through this without blowing my cover (sort of a self-imposed challenge, seeing as the humans were very unlikely to hurt children such as the rabbit and dragon) and these two had proven themselves to be a potential solution.

For no discernible reason, the building's power went out after we got near the room where the creatures were being held, leaving it open to our access. Using the cover provided by the dark, I removed my hat and walked through the door behind my unknowing cohorts.

...You know what? I'm just gonna call them what I later found out their names were to cut down on confusion.

Anyway, when I got in Sonic had somehow broken the captives out of their glass cell and all six of my companions had managed to hide behind a computer console (it was a very large room). I wandered over to them, hoping they would be able to stay quiet.

I had no idea that someone as quiet as Fluttershy could squee so loud.

I soon found myself on the move, held upside down over Spike's head (thankfully his frills were very flexible). The power had turned back on, so the laser cameras were attempting to vaporize us. Why do the cameras have lasers? isn't that just as dangerous for the structure as it is for the intruders. And for that matter where are all the soldiers? Some military base this is.

After my inner rant was finished I noticed that there were far fewer lasers than before. Apparently, Sonic and the ponies had redirected some of the cameras to shoot the others, Sonic and Fluttershy by jumping onto them and Rarity through telekinesis (I will not call it magic).

When sections of the hallway started cutting themselves off from each-other Sonic decided that the best option would be the roof (via a conveniently-placed stairwell). At that point my theories about the inferiority of laser security systems were confirmed, as the cameras started going haywire and chopping up the stairs. Also, the building started blowing up underneath us (only small explosions, thankfully). There were a few points where it looked like we wouldn't make it, but soon Sonic told us he could hear something familiar.

"Sounds like a plane," the hedgehog muttered, before gasping. "The Tornado!"

Before the Equestrians or myself could infer as to what he meant we found ourselves jumping through the nearest window… only to land safely on a blue Biplane flown by a humanoid fox with bright blue eyes,an extra tail, red-and-white shoes, pilot's goggles on his forehead and brown work gloves. There was also a lavender alicorn in the backseat.

"Perfect timing bud!" Sonic called over the wind.

"No problem, Sonic!" Tails answered.

Once Rarity had ushered the smaller of us into the back with Twilight (i.e. everyone but herself; Sonic and Fluttershy, the last of which opted to use the tailwind for flight practice) I settled in, enjoying the sight of Spike cuddling with who I could only assume was his surrogate mother. It reminded me of my own family a little, and as we flew to… wherever it was we were going, I imagined this scene playing out in a certain backyard under a certain maple tree.

After all, we all need something to keep us sane.

The introductions, while necessary, felt like something out of a support group

"My name's Christopher. Sonic landed in our swimming pool last night and I dove in and saved him."

"My name's Tails and I'm Sonic's very best buddy! Right, Sonic?"

"Correct."

"My name is Cream and this is my very special Chao friend, Cheese."

"Sup."

"My name is Rarity. It's a pleasure to meet all of you."

"I'm Twilight Sparkle and this is my good friend and number one assistant, Spike. Any vampire jokes and I won't be held accountable for what happens next."

Okay that was pretty good, I'll admit.

Once that was over with, Tails and Chuck started a conversation about Tails' little paper airplane bots he used to take out the base's power (the rescue still felt a little deux ex machina-ish to me) that somehow turned into the realisation that Eggman was probably in this dimension (not that I knew what that meant at the time). At that point everyone noticed the little teal "elephant" in the room.

"I can't believe I forgot," Fluttershy slightly groaned. "What's your name, little one?" she then asked much more sweetly."

I hesitated a moment, before deciding that chattering my name in a room without a parrot wouldn't hurt anything "Bartholomew Perry Flynn-Fletcher, at your service. But I prefer Perry."

The small pegasus grinned cheerfully, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Perry."

I froze, before taking in the others' expressions. Judging by how none of them (save for Cheese, who was barely containing his hysterics) were reacting to my first name, no-one but Fluttershy had understood me. I would have to be much more careful around her.

Who knew when Phineas or Ferb might show up.

I don't own Phineas and Ferb

Don't worry, Spike fans, he'll be much more important soon.
