Sonic and Twilight headed upstairs, discussing various things yet again.

"so Sonic, relieved that you're not a murderer?" Twi giggled, jokingly.

"Of course!" Sonic said. "Very relieved."

"Good." She said, smiling at him.

Sonic looked at her and returned that smile.

But as he did he realized something about Twilight.

She was shaking, sweating even.

"You ok?" He asked, curious as to what the purple unicorn was feeling.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" She asked.

"It's just that, you are, um... shaking and... sweating." He replied.

"Oh, I am, aren't I?" Twilight grinned.

She looked at Sonic and started to frown, she then leaped towards the hedgehog, hugging him tightly.

"What's up?" Sonic asked in confusion.

Twilight stayed silent and hugged tighter, and Sonic began hugging back.

The two hugged affectionately for a few more seconds, before Sonic broke the hug.

He looked into her eyes, and frowned.

She seemed to have been crying, exsessively.

"Geez Twi, are you alright?" He asked.

"Yeah, *sniffle* I'm fine." She said, rubbing her eyes.

"Twilight you're crying, that's not fine." He said.

"Sonic, don't worry, it's nothing." She replied.

"Alright, if you insist." Just want you to know, I'm your friend, you can tell me anything." Sonic happily explained.

Meanwhile, downstairs...

"So have you figured out anything as to where Sonic got the energy from yet?" Knuckles asked Tails.

"I haven't even a clue." He replied, focusing on some sort of device.

"What's that?" Knux asked. "Looks kinda like the emerald radar."

"It is, just with a few modifications I believe I have created an energy radar." Tails explained.

"But, don't all living things have energy? Technically you're just making a radar that's constantly gaining multiple signals." Knux pointed out.

Tails realized this fatal mistake and began dissassembling the device.

Meanwhile, over on the couch, Pinkie and Rainbow were snuggling.

"Pinkie, I'm so happy we can be friends again." Rainbow Dash smiled, stroking Pinkie's mane.

"Me too!" Pinkie Squeaked. "In fact, I'm so happy I could kiss you!"

The two looked at each other and blushed.

Rainbow turned away, now a bit sad.

"Dashie, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to-" Pinkie started.

"It's ok, I should move on but... Damn it Pinkie I still love you!" Rainbow cried, interupting.

Pinkie's hair immeadietly went flat and she hugged Rainbow tight.

"Dashie I'm sorry, but... I don't love you anymore..." She quietly said.

Rainbow taered up a little as she heard Pinkie, hugging her tighter.

"I'm sorry Pinkie! Tell ya what, I'll do whatever you want, just please love me again!" She pleaded.

"Dash, you can't force love, love is something you both need to have for each other truly, not with bribery and selfishness." Amy said.

"Says Miss Crazy over Sonikku herself." Knuckles chuckled.

"Knuckles, you don't chuckle, go flex your muscles!" Tails said.

Knuckles punched Tails really hard.

"Everypony, I made tea and cookies!" Spike said as he walked into the room with a large tray.

"Thanks Spike." Amy said, grabbing a cookie off the tray, looking at Knux in dissmay.

"Thanks shrimp." Knuckles said, grabbing a lot of cookies and a small teacup.

"That was very polite of you Spike, thank you." Tails said.

"Thanks?" Spike said, blushing.

"Pinkie? Rainbow?" He said as he turned to them.

"Leave us be." Pinkie said, patting Rainbow on the back while she sorrowly wept in her fur.

"Alright." Spike replied.

The door swung open, and Shadow and Trixie walked in.

"Shadow!" Amy yelled.

"Trixie..." Knuckles muttered, clenching his fist.

"Hello 'friends'." Shadow rudely chuckled.

"Sup bitch?" Rainbow snapped.

"You piece of shhit I'LL-"

Shadow was stunned by one of Trixie's spells, and he shook his head.

"Thanks." He said. "It's hard for me to balance my emotion."

"Yes yes, you're welcome." Trixie smiled at him.

Shadow bowed down to her.

"What!?" Knuckles gasped. "You're praising this whiny, arrogant bitch?"

"She could've killed me... and since I'm the ultimate lifeform I have no choice to fall under command towards the true ultimate." Shadow smiled.

"So Trixie bluffed your death to gain your trust?" Tails said.

"Yes." Trixie said.

Shadow looked at her and frowned.

"Twilight, Sonic, they're here!" Spike exclaimed.

"Be right down." Sonic said from upstairs.

"I hate you Trixie." Knuckles said.
