Rainbow might rival Sonic in Speed, but she may also prove to rival Tails in the skies, bit of double trouble
Sonic had entered his place of stay with Rainbow Dash.
"This is your place?" Rainbow asked.
"Yeah, I share it with my friend Tails, he's probably off working on some designs for something, he'll be back soon"
"Cool, I'd like to meet him"
Sonic pulled out a sleeping bag, "Ok then, since you're staying, you'll be sleeping in my bed, I can sleep in this sleeping bag"
Rainbow looked concerned, "Uh Sonic, you don't need to do that, I can sleep in the sleeping bag, I don't wanna take away your bed"
Sonic waved it off, "It's fine, I'm used to sleeping in sleeping bags, when I'm away for a long time I sometimes use a sleeping bag, actually I sometimes sleep on the cold hard ground, well not too hard, I find the softest spot and sleep there"
Rainbow still was unsure, "Well maybe, but..."
"It's fine, just take my bed, a lady needs her beauty sleep after all"
Rainbow looked displeased, "Lady? Beauty sleep? Look you're nice and all but don't start that charm stuff with me, I don't go with that"
Sonic chuckled, "I guess not, sorry about that, I'm only messing with you, but seriously just take the bed, I don't mind the floor"
Rainbow sighed, "Fine, you win"
At that moment, Sonic heard the door open, "That must be Tails, I guess he's home", he went to the front door area nd saw Tails looking at his Miles Electronic.
"Yo Tails, what's up?"
"Fine", Tails barely spoke, he just looked into his device, Sonic decided to try again, "So Tails...been up to anything lately?"
"What can I do? I'm not allowed on missions remember?"
Sonic remembered that Sally had suspended Tails from missions due to him leading an unauthorized team, mainly cause Sally got a little paranoid that one mistake could have caused something to go wrong.
"I know you're bummed but I did warn you"
"Whatever, I'll be in my room"
"Wait, before you go, I have someone I'd like you to meet, we have a guest staying here, she's from another world"
Tails looked interested, "Really? Who?"
"Yo Rainbow! Come meet Tails!" Sonic called out.
Tails watched as he saw Rainbow Dash enter, he was surprised to see a Pegasus pony.
"Tails, this is our new roommate Rainbow Dash, Rainbow this is my best friend Tails"
Rainbow extended her hoof to Tails, "Sup?"
Tails raised his eyebrow and shook her hoof, though initially unsure if that was what she was going for.
"Hi Rainbow Dash, nice to meet you", Tails said somewhat unsure.
"She'll be staying until we can get her back to her world", Sonic said.
"What world is she from?" Tails asked.
"Good question, Rainbow tell us about yourself and this world? I think you said something about it being called 'Equestria' or something", Sonic said.
"Yeah, my world is called 'Equestria', where I am one of the best flyers around, especially in my hometown of Ponyville and my foalhood town of Cloudsdale, I am the local weather pony, I'm in charge of what weather we have that day", Rainbow said.
"Huh? How does that work?" Sonic asked.
"If there needs to be rain, me and my team would gather the clouds together and kick them enough so it causes a rain shower, if it needs to be sunny, we just destroy the clouds"
"That doesn't make logical sense", Tails stated.
"World are different Tails, there's things here that don't make sense on Earth", Sonic pointed out.
"Right, so how did you get here?" Tails asked.
"Me and my friends were battling an evil pony who calls himself 'King Sombra', he was gonna use his shadow powers to take over the world"
"Shadow powers? Was he all dark, mysterious and brooding?" Sonic asked.
"Yeah, he also had a thing for crystals"
Sonic looked surprised, "Wow, he reminds me of Mephiles"
"Who?" Rainbow asked.
"He's a guy I once fought, shadowy and looked like crystals, so go on"
"Right, so he had kidnapped some fillies, two of which were sisters to my friend, the other one admired me and I treated her like a little sister, her name is Scootaloo"
"Huh? Just like you Tails, you admired me and you became like my little brother"
"Yeah, then I grew up", Tails muttering the last part under his breath.
Sonic paid no mind and spoke to Rainbow, "Go on"
"Right, so we went to save them, then Sombra took a cheap shot and blasted my friends to different dimensions, I ended up here, I don't know where my other friends went though"
"Wow, so you and your friends, are they like your worlds warriors? Or just random ponies gathered together to fight for freedom like me and my friends?"
"The second part mostly, you see we represent the most powerful magic in our world, The Elements of Harmony, together they make something really strong"
"Reminds me of something we have in this world, The Chaos Emeralds, they have great power too"
Rainbow raised her eyebrow, "Chaos? Isn't that a bad thing?"
"It can be if used negatively, but our positive energy for our friends can turn it into a good thing as Tails himself theorized"
Rainbow looked impressed, "Wow, they are like our elements, you seem to have a Magic of Friendship type thing here too, but with Chaos energy? Oh man I can't wait to tell Discord that, he'll probably freak"
"Discord? Who's he?"
"He's the embodiment of chaos in our world, he believes chaos is all negative energy"
"So he's one of your villains?"
"Well, he reformed, though I don't fully trust him, he is the spirit of chaos after all, he may give into temptation, he still does sometimes"
"Well it's not impossible for him to be peaceful, we have our own embodiment of chaos, in fact its name is Chaos, he only causes destruction when angry, when not angry he's very peaceful", Sonic pointed out.
"Wow, our worlds are almost mirrored", Rainbow said.
"So tell me about these elements", Sonic said.
"Yeah I'd like to hear myself", Tails added.
"Well I represent Loyalty"
"I like that quality in any being", Sonic said.
Tails rolled his eyes, "To an extent" he muttered under his breath.
"My friend Pinkie Pie represents Laughter, she loves the sound of laughter, she always wants to have a party, very quirky too, though she has a tendency to be a little annoying and can bug me on occasion"
"Wow, just like Amy", Sonic said.
"Then there's Rarity, she represents Generosity, very sophisticated and loves jewelry, though can be snooty"
"And that sounds a bit like Rouge", Sonic stated.
"Then there's Fluttershy, the element of Kindness, she's nice to all creatures"
"Sounds like Cream", Sonic said.
"She sounds nice, I'd like to meet her", Tails said.
"She'd like you both as well I'm sure, there's also my friend Applejack who represents honestly, me and her butt heads a lot though, sometimes we debate over strength and speed"
"Wow, that's like Knuckles", Sonic said.
"And finally there's Twilight, the Element of Magic, and the Egghead of our group"
Sonic chuckled, "And that's like Tails"
"Hey!"
"Well it's true"
Rainbow snickered, "Wow, maybe this world is a parallel world to mine"
"That is an interesting theory, we've seen other worlds parallel to ours, even alternate versions of ourselves, for all we know Equestria is something like that, the only different is the ponies and not all genders seem the same", Tails stated.
"Well it's nice to see it shaken up, so you think you and Rotor would be able to hook something up to get Rainbow back home?"
"Probably, I'll see what I can do", Tails said.
"That'd be great if you can, maybe you two can visit and join me in going to a Wonderbolts show"
"Oh yeah, you mentioned The Wonderbolts before, tell Tails about them", Sonic said.
"Who are they?" Tails asked.
"The greatest acrobatic flyers in Equestria, and I'm gonna join them one day, I'm fast enough, I even have the Cutie Mark to prove it", Rainbow said, showing off her cutie mark.
"Cutie Mark? Why is it on your butt?" Sonic asked.
Rainbow looked annoyed, "All cutie marks are on the FLANKS", Rainbow made sure to emphasize that word, "Mine is no different, it is a symbol of my special talent"
"Impressive", Tails said.
"I think you're pretty fast, probably as fast as me"
Rainbow grinned, "Wanna see first hand? How about you and me in a race?"
Sonic sighed, "Not really into racing honestly, I run for fun, not for glory"
"Yet you pride yourself on being the fastest thing alive", Tails said with a bit of attitude.
"Well I'm challenging that, you and me need to have a race, then I'll know I can be the best", Rainbow said.
Sonic sighed, "Fine, we'll race a bit later, for now lets just get you properly settled, I need to know what foods you eat so I can make sure you're properly fed, so why don't we head to the food market and pick out some stuff"
"Sounds cool with me"
"Right, ok Tails I'm gonna take Rainbow Dash, you stay here and do whatever you need to do", Sonic said.
Tails nodded, "Sure thing Sonic"
As they left Tails sighed a bit, "That pony reminds me so much of Sonic, now I have to live with two of them pretty much, that's gonna be such a headache, I hope we can trust her, for all we know she's a robot, her backstory seems a tiny bit suspicious, I'll just keep an eye on her for the time being", Tails the went to his room to work on some mechanics.
Meanwhile Sally is walking through town looking at some notes and figuring out the next plan of attack, then she was approached by Amy Rose.
"Hey Sally! How's it going?"
"Fine", Sally said, not taking her eyes off her work.
"You busy?"
"Kind off", Sally simply jotted some stuff down.
"So...you planning for something or..."
Sally groaned but tried not to lose her patience, "Amy, what is it?"
"Well...I was hoping you could give me, Tails and Cream another shot, I know he messed up last time but don't you think suspending him was a little much? Especially since it was my idea"
Sally glared, "I know it was your idea, Cream confessed when her mom asked, besides I know Tails isn't one to come up with something that foolish on his own, not only is he not going on missions any time soon, your ranking among us is also gonna be jeopardized, for the record, I don't want any of you going out there anytime soon"
"But Tails used to do so well before, and I've pulled my fair share too"
"I know but he's usually with someone, besides Eggman's gotten more dangerous and I won't risk Tails getting captured or killed, I don't know what's happened but it seems like Eggman's plans have gotten more devious, just a few weeks ago I lost several guys trying to take down one of his factories, he's not screwing around anymore, so maybe I jumped the gun in suspending Tails but I did it to keep him safe, his well being is more important to me right now, he probably doesn't like it but it's my job to make the tough calls when his mom or dad aren't around"
"But Sally"
"No buts Amy, just go home, I have a lot of things to handle, between politics around here, Eggman's attacks plus that Pegasus that Sonic found, I've got my hands full"
Amy's curiosity peaked, "Pegasus? What Pegasus? Where did Sonic get a Pegasus from?"
"He found her after he went on one of his unauthorized missions, apparently she's from another world or something, I'm not sure but I'm not too trusting f her right now, she just rubs me the wrong way"
"Wow, who would have thought...so where is she now? I'd like to see her"
"She went with Sonic back to his place where she'll be staying"
Amy's eyes widened, "You're letting a girl we don't know stay with Sonic!?"
"Relax, I'm sure Sonic can handle himself if need be, but for now you need not worry", Sally said.
"I need so worry, I'm not worried about her being an assassin, what if she's really pretty and charms Sonic!"
Sally sighed, "I'd rather not let this turn into some love affair, she's going home anyway so it doesn't matter, but for now it's on him"
Amy groaned, "I hope you know what you're doing Sally"
Sally rolled her eyes, "Whatever Amy"
Amy walked off while Sally pondered, "I hope Sonic knows what he's doing"
Looks like Rainbow's gotten herself into something strange here, she better hope Sonic will be able to help her adjust.
