DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN SONIC THE HEDGEHOG OR MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC. I JUST THINK THE TWO GO GREAT TOGETHER.

Act Three: Love at first sight

"What was that?" asked Twilight. She looked away from Rainbow Dash for a minute and saw what looked like a giant ball of fire soar through the sky. In it decent, it flew right over Neighagra Falls and crashed on a nearby hill.

"Did you see that?" said Rainbow Dash. "It was HUGE!"

"We'd better go and warn Princess Celestia about what just happened." said Twilight. The two walked down the stairs of the Neighagra Falls Viewing Center this time because of Rainbow Dash's state. When the reached the floor below, they saw that most of the ponies had already left for home except for their friends. When Twilight walked up to them, Fluttershy ran up o her and wrapped her arms forelegs around her in an embrace. Her eyes were puffy and red. Tears continued to flow out as Twilight hugged her back. "Don't worry. We'll get Rarity back and find the thing who did this." Fluttershy nodded and retracted her legs. Twilight smiled at her then looked at Applejack. "I'm sorry about what happened. If I had been here to help…"

"Ya'll would've been captured along with Rarity. We need ya now more than ever Twilight. I reckon that in this case, it really is better being late than never." Twilight smiled. She was relived that they didn't blame her for this. Especially Spike. "I'm gonna send a letter to the princess about what's happened. I want you guys wait here until she shows up."

"Where are you going?" asked Spike.

"I have to…check something." said Twilight. As soon as she was done writing the letter to her mentor, Princess Celestia, Spike mailed it of with a quick breath of fire and Twilight teleported to the crash site of the fire ball. As she followed the trial left by the fire ball, she began to feel a presence of life somewhere. I was faint, but she could sense that she wasn't alone. She continued to follow the trial until she came across and large, strange, red contraption. On the top, she could see a large clear dome with two unconscious beings trapped inside!

Twilight gasped. "I knew I felt something strange when I saw this thing! I had life in it! Alien life!" she thought. Twilight started to bang her bare hooves on the glass but flinched as soon as she felt how hot it was. "Ouch!" she said. She then cast a spell on the glass that made it intangible. She then reached in and grabbed both of the bodies out into the open. "They're breathing. That's a good sign."

"…"

"…um."

"Humph! Hey! Wake up!"

that voice…I've never heard a voice that makes me feel so…happy. Sonic opened his eyes with a start. He found himself looking into the violet eyes of young looking pony. He and the pony stared at each other for what seemed like eternity before he broke the silence. "Uh, hey there." said Sonic in a daze. The Unicorn blinked twice, astounded at what she just heard. "You…talk? You speak English?" she asked.

"I can do a lot of things." said Sonic.

"Wow. You're…that's…amazing." said the Unicorn. She blushed at the self-realization at what she just said. "I mean, that you can talk of course." she said defensively.

"Yeah. Thanks." said Sonic, finding himself looking even deeper into the Unicorn's eyes. He couldn't stop staring at them. They were so…

"Beautiful. I've never seen eyes like this before. And her voice…" thought Sonic.

"He's staring right at me! What do I do? He sounds so…relaxed. And his eyes are like emeralds. I could stare at them forever." thought Twilight. "M-m-my name is Twilight Sparkle. Do you have a name?" she asked.

The blue creature just smiled. "Sure I have a name." he said. He jumped on his feet, surprising Twilight and making her fall backwards.

"My name is Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog."
