Later that day, Rainbow Dash was at her house. She was sitting on her bed, staring at her phone. She knew for her date with Sonic, she need to make not a call, but the call. Doesn't mean she has to like it. She slowly picked up the phone and dialed in the number. It rang for a bit until someone answered.

"Hello," a voice said on the other end.

"Hey, Rarity," Rainbow Dash started.

"Rainbow Dash, Darling. What can I do for you?"

"I need your help with something."

"Why of course. What do you need, darling?"

"I ..." Rainbow dash muttered.

"What was that?" She muttered again. "One more time.

"I NEED YOU TO MAKE ME LOOK GOOD FOR MY DATE WITH SONIC!"

"..."

"Hello? Rarity" Suddenly the was a knock at her front door. Rainbow Dash walked down and opened it. In front of her was Rarity holding a big suitcase with a big smile on her face. "Is it too late for me to back out?"

"Far too late darling."

That night, Sonic stood infront of Rainbow Dash's house in a tuxedo with a rose in his hand. He took a deep breath before knocking. When the door opened, Sonic's jaw hit the ground. There stood Rainbow Dash in a stunning dress. The dress was blue with a rainbow skirt with what looked like clouds on the end.

"Hey there handsome," Rainbow Dash smiled.

"I got this for you," Sonic said handing her the rose.

"Thanks." Rainbow Dash took the rose and smelled it.

"Here." Sonic took the rose and out it in her hair.

Rainbow Dash smiled. "How does it look?"

"Beautiful." Sonic smiled to her causing her to blush. Sonic offered her a "Shall we?"

"Let's" She took his arm. Sonic was about to use chaos control when she stopped him. "Oh no you don't! It took Rarity hours to make this dress and I don't want to ruin it!"

"Ok then." Sonic surprised her by picking her up bridal style.

"Sonic! What are you ... " Before she could finish Sonic started running with her.

/

Sonic suddenly stopped in front of a building. Sonic carefully put a amazed Rainbow Dash on her feet. She balanced herself out and turned to him.

"What was that?" she asked fixing her dress and hair.

"Well I didn't get the name 'fastest thing alive' for nothing," Sonic bragged.

"Where are we?" Sonic turned her around and in front of her was the olive garden.

"Shall I escort my lady inside?" Sonic bowed like a gentleman.

She laughed a little and bowed back. "Why of course you may."

Sonic took her inside and went to the waiter. "Reservations for Sonic."

The waiter looked in is book and said, "Right this way."

They walked to a two person table next two a window. Sonic pulled out her chair and she sat down. Sonic sat too and the waiter gave them their menus. The waiter pulled out his notebook.

"What can I start you off with?" he asked.

"I'll take a strawberry passion fruit limonatato drink," Sonic said.

"Make it two," Rainbow Dash added.

"And we'll take the Zuppa Toscana to start," Sonic finished.

"Anything else?" the man asked.

"We'll need some more time before we place our orders."

"Very well," the waiter said before he walked away.

"So tell me about yourself," Rainbow Dash started putting her .

"What do you wanna know?"

"Everything. All I know it your name is Sonic, you hold the title of 'fastest thing alive', and your amazing."

"Well I can say the same thing about you, Dash."

She blushed at that. "Thanks."

"Anyway I come from a place called 'Mobius'.

"I remember that. You said something like that when you first came here."

"Yeah. It's a beautiful place."

"You also mentioned you were an adventurer."

"Yep. With my speed, I was always looking for my next one. Living my life to the fullest you know?"

"I can relate. That's how I live my life in a way."

"Believe it or not I've save my world countless times."

"Really!?"

Before he could answer, the waiter came back and gave them their soup and drinks. After he was done, he asked, "Have you decided yet?"

Sonic and Rainbow Dash took and Sonic said, "I'll take Citrus Chicken Sorrento.

"I'll take one too," Rainbow Dash.

"I'll be right back," he said before he left.

"Wow this is good!" Sonic said taking a bit of his soup.

"Drinks not half bad either," Rainbow dash took a sip.

"Anyway, yeah. It seemed like there was something always take or destroy the world. Luckily me and the Freedom Fighters were always there."

"It's that the name of your band?"

"Yeah, beside why not use a name that works."

"True enough. So you basically save the day on a daily basis."

"Pretty much."

"What was the most recent?"

"That would have to be Solaris."

"What was it?" Rainbow Dash was very interested.

"It's probably the most intense one I've had"

"Do tell."

"It started like any other stopping Eggman from taking over the world."

Rainbow almost spit out her soup. "Hahaha. His name was eggman! That's hilarious!"

"Hahaha. I know, right? Anyway this time he went after a person named Elise also known as the Princess of Soleanna. Luckily I came in, but he still got to kidnap her. Just before he got away, Elise was able to through me a chaos emerald."

"What are chaos emeralds?"

Sonic lifted his ringed hand. "This are chaos emeralds. They're powerful gems that hold the energy of our world along with the master emereld. There are seven in total."

She leaned over the table to take a closer look. "Kinda small for an all powerful gem don't you think?"

"They're actually about the size of you palm in my world. They must have changed when Shadow and I came to this world."

"You have four so does that mean Shadow has the other three?"

"Yeah. So after I got it, I went to my friend, Tails. With his help, we were rescue her, but then as I was bringing her to safety i was attacked by a hedgehog named Silver. He kept calling me the Iblis Trigger."

"Iblis Trigger?"

"Basically mean he thought i was gonna do something that destroys the future. It was because of him, Elise was taken by Eggman again. With Amy's help, I was able to go after them."

Suddenly Rainbow Dash remember hearing about this 'Amy' from this morning so she had to ask, "Who is Amy?"

"She's um i guess you can call her my fan."

"Just a fan?"

"Well there have been times when she was forward with me."

"Such as?"

"Like surprise hugs, flirts, cheek kisses, and um asking me out"

Rainbow Dash thought for a moment. "Did you ever say yes?"

Sonic paused before he answered. "Yes, I did once, but we never went on that date."

"Why not?"

"Well I kinda got ... um sucked into a story book to save it's world."

"Huh!?" She had no idea what to make of that.

"That's a story for another time. Anyway after that, I met up with another friend of mine, Knuckles. When we caught up to Eggman, we had to trade the chaos emerald for Elise, but it was a trick. Eggman use machine send us 400 years into the future and it wasn't pretty."

"Why?"

"Everything was in ruins. Cities, forest, and even the ocean. We didn't know what to did if it wasn't for Shadow and Rouge."

"How did they get to the future?"

"Apparently, they had a run in with Mephiles. He's a bad guy who looks like Shadow. He tricked Silver into going after me."

"Why you though?"

"Mephiles wanted Elise to suffer so he could get his other half back and since she had it sealed her."

"other half?"

"Yes. Mephiles is on of two from a being called Solaris. A monster so powerful, it destroys universes easily. Shadow sealed Mephiles in a scepter in the past and the other half, Iblis, was sealed in Elise."

"But why her?"

"Solaris has been passed down her family for years. She was the only one who could do it. Where was I? Oh yeah. We also found out that if we did return to our own time Elise would be killed so we searched for two chaos emerald and when back in time."

"You can time travel!?"

"Yeah, but only to a point in time where I'm not already there."

"Why not?"

"If I did, there wouldn't only be two of me, but if we made contact, we would destroy the universe. So we travel back, but Shadow Stayed behind to find some answers. Unfortunately what he found out shocked all of us."

"What was it?"

Sonic looked down sadly. "The human in our world blamed Shadow for everything in the future and imprisoned him."

"What!? But Shadow is such a nice guy. Why would they do that?"

"Because they needed someone to blame and who better than 'the ultimate lifeform'

"But that ... so unfair. Didn't you and Shadow save the world countless times?"

"Yeah we did, but it didn't matter to them."

"But ... but that's " Rainbow Dash could feel tears forming until she felt Sonic take her hand.

"I know."

She smiled to him and wiped her tears. "Thanks."

"Anytime. So when Shadow got back he told us everything. After that we all race for the remaining five emerald, but at the final one lets say it hurt like lot."

"What happened?"

"I died."

"YOU WHAT? ARE YOU OKAY?"

"Dash, I'm fine. Everyone was able to bring me back with the chaos emeralds, but cause of my death Elise got sad enough to release Iblis and it merged with Mephiles to become Solaris. With the chaos emeralds, Shadow, Silver and I turned into super forms beat it."

"Super forms?"

"Yeah, by absorbing the power form all the emeralds, we become more powerful beings."

"Sounds amazing."

"Yeah, it is. Right after the battle we went back to when Solaris was just a harmless little flame and if we blow it out, none of the would have happened, but somehow Mephiles survived and tried to stop us. Right when Elise blow Solaris out, all of your attack collided and opened a portal."

"And that's how you came to our world."

"I thought is was heaven cause there was an angel in front of me." Sonic smiled at her.

Rainbow Dash blushed while taking a sip of her drink. "Thanks. Wait wouldn't that mean Mephelis came though as while."

"Yeah, but we didn't see if there. It was just Shadow and me, but I think he's still out there."

"Well if he does show up we'll send him packing."

Sonic smiled at her and put his hand on her's. "Thanks Dash. I can always count on you."

She interlocked their fingers. "I can say the same thing to you."

Just as Sonic was about to say something else, the waiter returned with their food. He set them down and walked away. Rainbow dash lifted her glass to him and said, "To new friends."

Sonic lifted his glass. "To meeting someone very special"

After dinner, they decided to walk back rather than run. On the way, the passed be a park. Rainbow Dash got on one of the swings and Sonic started to push her. Rainbow knew she had one more question to ask, she was afraid. Part of her wanted to know really bad while the other was scared of what the answer might be, but she know there was only one way to make it end.

She stabbed her feet into the ground and asked, "Sonic, if you could, would you return to your world if it meant leaving this one?"

"Dash," Sonic started.

"I mean who would want to stay here when you can go on adventures all the time."

"Dash," Sonic said a little louder

"And compared to that, this place is kinda boring and..."

"Rainbow Dash!" Sonic yelled while turning her to face him.

When he saw her, she had tears coming from her eyes. As soon as he saw them, he pressed his lips on hers. Rainbow Dash was surprised at first, but then melted into the kiss. Rainbow Dash stood up and wrapped her arms around Sonic's neck while he wrapped his around her waist. When they parted, they looked into each other's eyes.

Sonic was the first the silence and said, "I love you, Rainbow Dash. And if it meant being with you, I would stay here."

Tears came back to her face, only this time they were tears of joy. She wiped her tears and said, "I love you too. And where ever you go, I go."

They pulled into a hug. They stayed like that for a while until Sonic spoke, "you know I wanted to sing a song to you."

"Really?" Sonic nodded and began.

Another day is like a new beginning

And so today I know that it's a new start

I know the bad times are disappearing

Cause now I know that we'll never be apart

You're the one that makes me feel so high

Just like the diamonds in the sky

I never want to hear you say goodbye

Cause you're my diamond in the sky

When Sonic was finished, Rainbow Dash kissed him again and then leaned her head on his shoulder. She smiled and said, "I'm really glad you came ended up in our world."

"And I'm glad I got to meet someone as you." Sonic said back as he held her close. "I should get you back."

"Later. I want to stay like this a little longer."

Sonic smiled. "As you wish."

/

Later, Sonic and Rainbow walked back to her house. They were holding hands and leaning on each other. When they finally got to her door, they broke apart.

"Dash?" Sonic said.

"Yes, Sonic?"

"Let's go out again sometime."

"Defiantly."

Rainbow Dash leaned forward and gave him one last kiss before heading inside. Once she was, she leaned against the door and slid down with a smile on her face. Outside, Sonic walked away for at few feet then jumped in the air cheering. Both couldn't help think of the other and the future with each other.

/

Sonic made it back home still smiling. He used the key, Pinkie Pie gave him and Shadow, to unlock the door and stepped inside. He looked around and saw a light from the edges of the kitchen door. Sonic opened the door and saw something he never expected.

Shadow cooking

"Wow Shadow you so good at this," Pinkie Pie said watching Shadow

"Of course I am," Shadow said stirring a bowl of cupcake batter until he notice Sonic. "Oh your back, how was your date?"

Sonic took off the top part of his tux and said, "It was great. Can't wait to take her on another one."

"Maybe next time it can a double date?" Pinkie pie said stepping closer to Shadow.

Sonic smiled at them and said, "Sure, why not?"

Shadow thought for a moment and said, "Sounds like fun."

Pinkie was literally jumping off the walls when she heard that. Shadow smiled at her while shaking his head. He went back to cooking while making sure the confetti she was throwing didn't get in. Sonic smiled before going back to the living room to sleep.

'But who to take?' Shadow thought quietly.
