Chapter 10: Aftermath & Discussion

3 Days Since Discord and Fleetway's chaos

Sonic was kept reading on through Twilight's book as he then remembered Fleetway being banished.

"Well, I guess he is out of story now." He said as he heard footsteps coming up.

He then discovered that it was just Spike, "Hey Sonic!"

"Hey Spike, where's Twilight?" Sonic asked the dragon,

"Well, she's at the Town Square ensuring the ponies safety and all also clearing any leftover magic that Discord implanted." Spike answered,

"Alright. Thanks buddy." Sonic said as he rubs his hand on to Spike's head.

As soon their conversation is over. Spike looked at Sonic who is seemingly looking worried and sad at the same time, he got curious to what is the problem.

"Umm, Sonic?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you alright?"

"What do you mean buddy?"

"Well, for a few minutes you seemed to think something that bothers you."

"Ah this is nothing, its just… well, I'm just a cause of trouble in this place."

Spike then titled his head as he couldn't understand why Sonic said that, he pick up Sonic's books that where on the desk. He then placed them to where they should be.

"You don't seem to be a trouble."

Sonic then got his attention as he looked at Spike, "What do you mean by that?"

"Well, you may think that to yourself but you know we don't see you like that."

"What are you talking about Spike?"

"I'm saying that you aren't a trouble Sonic, you are good friend and a protector of Equestria."

Sonic looked down as he kept remembering Fleetway's escape and how much damage he caused towards the girls. He can't stop blaming it for days. While Sonic was busy trying to build himself up, Spike talked.

"Twilight was worried about you."

"What?"

"She is worried about you. She said that you never sleep normally and you always been quiet. She wants to know why but she is shy enough to ask you."

"W-Why is that?"

Sonic felt scared for some reason why Twilight is 'shy' around him.

"Well, it's just a hunch but I am noticing something from you and Twilight."

Sonic then took the word that Spike said about 'noticing something' that made him feel nervous and calm though nervous because of it.

"W-What do you notice then?"

"Well, first off, I've never seen Twilight been worried to someone that much apart from me of course. But if you're the one being injured it seems that she can't live without you."

Saying those words made Sonic looked away and blushed. He tried to hide them by using his hands as he is pretending to cough.

"Maybe she just cares for someone, I mean I can't be the only one that Twilight worries that much." Sonic replied,

"I guess so, but it is just a hunch. Who knows that Twilight has a thing for you." Spike said maid Sonic surprised, blushed, and smiled.

"Eh, better not to guess it though." Sonic dodge it.

"Alright, alright." Spike then leaves the room.

"Well, I better help Twilight. Looks like I'm done here." Sonic thought as he then run off to look for Twilight.

On the run he noticed that some are the ponies are talking about Sonic. He couldn't help to feel weird as they saw him hurt his friends. Even though before they get to Canterlot, he did also been hearing some good and bad vibes around the citizens.

"Though crowd…" Sonic said as he looked down.

Without knowing his direction he accidentally bumped to someone or somepony.

"Oh! I-I'm sorry I didn't mean…" Sonic was so focused around the citizens as he doesn't want to make much more bad impression.

He just a heard a giggle and once he rubs his head clearly, he found Twilight was the one he bumped into. "Sonic, it's just me."

"Twi-Twilight! Eheh… sorry about that." Sonic said as he laughed nervously.

"Also bumping into to each other like, we should stop doing that." Twilight said as she is giggling in her own.

Though after that they noticed to what they're doing, they looked away blushing in their own. Their heart started to fasten up again, but while that is happening Sonic's mood change as he remembered that he hurt the girls and Twilight most of all, got almost hurt and tired as well. Twilight then looked at Sonic slowly who is looking down. She looked worried as to see what's going on with his head.

"Sonic? Is everything alright?" Twilight asked as she got closer,

"Huh? Oh yeah.. I'm fine Twi. Let's go clear the magic Discord left."

"But Sonic, I was headin home since I'm done. And I need some rest heh." Twilight said as she laughed nervously abit.

"Oh, looks like I'm too late." Sonic looked down that made Twilight worried.

"Uhm, well you're not too late to help walk home right?" Twilight said that made Sonic's ears all perked up.

Twilight didn't mean to say those but she had a feeling to say those. She doesn't want Sonic to look sad, so she decided to make him feel better by just companying her back.

"S-Sure. Anything for a friend." Those words made Twilight smiled as it seems that Sonic regain from his sadness.

Twilight and Sonic are now heading back to her house. Though while on the road, Twilight guessed the reason for Sonic's sadness.

"You don't have to pretend it Sonic." She said made Sonic looked curiosity.

"What do you mean?"

"I know you, well, barely, but I do know one thing, and it's that you are sad about Fleetway's chaos and the way you hurt us." Twilight said that this made Sonic surprised and at the same time ashamed.

"Yeah… I'm sorry I couldn't help to think of it…" Sonic said though Twilight doesn't want the situation to get worse so she just thinks of another way.

"Whatever makes you sad, just let it go, it happened and besides, I want the Sonic that isn't all looking worried at anything."

Sonic then got thinking about what she said, 'I want the Sonic…' He started to think that he should forget about Fleetway's cause and focus what is right now.

"Yeah, you're right Twi. I guess I may messed up but thanks to you girls, Fleetway is out of story."

Twilight sighed in relief as Sonic let's go from that memory, "No problem Sonic, it's what friends do for, right?

"Yeah!" They both shared they laugh.

After a few silent moments, Twilight had a question in her mind that wanted to tell Sonic.

"Hey Sonic?"

"Yeah?"

"Your chaos emerald… does it supposed to follow someone around or think on its own?"

"Not really, in fact, they just need to be hold on to. Chaos emeralds aren't that sentient to act on their own."

"Is that so? Well, it just made you appeared didn't?"

Sonic then pondered, putting his fingers and think.

"Yeah, I thought you did something, because I just heard your voice calling me."

"Huh. Looks like there is more now to the chaos emeralds than we thought." Sonic nodded for her statement.

They where silent again, until Sonic remembered about something that happen about yesterday.

"Hey Twilight, what does Rainbow trying ask you?" Sonic wondered.

"Well, she wanted me for a race, since you know I got to become as fast as you when I also got that magic from your emerald." Twilight looked away embarrassed for saying 'fast as you'

"What's with the embarrassment?" Those words made Twilight startled as Sonic noticed what Twilight's acting.

"Come on Twilight! Focus! He got me now! Oh Celestia, his face is near to mine… wait, what? No, no, no.. I better tell him though." Twilight slowly looked at Sonic's face and sighed, "Well, I just can't say that I am fast as you, I just got-" Twilight was cutoff as she couldn't stop staring at him, though he just smiled and chuckled for an answer.

"Oh don't be ashamed about it Twi! I'm actually happy that there is another one could reach around my speed who knows when to control themselves, oh and don't tell that to Rainbow though." Sonic's words made Twilight special and smiled for his compliment.

"T-Thank you Sonic." Twilight said.

"Hey no prob. We need to figure that out though, that new powers from the emerald." Sonic said that made Twilight look determined.

She made a pose of a ready lookin pony, "And find out what other adventure lies ahead of us!"

"Yeah that's the spirit!" Sonic said that they manage to get back to Twilight's home.

"Twilight, Sonic! You guys are back, took awhile though but I made early dinner." Spike greets the two.

"Thanks for the making Spike." Twilight said.

"No problem! Come on in." Spike said.

Before Sonic and Twilight entered, Twilight stopped and this caught Sonic's attention.

"Uhh, whats wrong Twi?" Sonic wondered.

"Hmm, hey Sonic?" She looked at him with a face of wonder.

"Yeah?"

"Think you can teach me how to control the speed you have?"

Sonic thought of what Twilight said, at first he got startled and then he shake his head.

"Looks like Twi wants to be strong to protect her friends." Sonic clearly thought of that, "Of course. But why though?"

"Well, at first when I became fast, like really. I almost lost my breath from the speed. That extreme speed and everything. I wanna more about the way you used that much speed." Twilight said as there are sparkles in her eyes.

Sonic blushed by staring at her big purple eyes that sparkles. It's cute in a way, though Sonic shake it off.

"Sure. Anything for a friend." Sonic smiled and gives her a thumbs up.

"Thank you!" She smiled and thus they entered inside of the house.
