Chapter 20: the carnival

Tails woke up and stretched, as he stood up and looked around he noticed something... Odd...it was still night time. When they went to sleep the sun had just gone down..why is it still dark?. "This place is weird" tails muttered, suddenly behind him he heard twilight say "yeah this place sure is strange...I could have sworn we slept right after sunset...". Twilight walked behind tails with a concerned face as he turned and reassured. " don't worry too much twilight... Some places on Möbius just...stay dark sometimes.. " twilight laughed as she said "that's silly! I know princess Luna would love this place"... Tails looked at twilight puzzled as he asked " uh...who is princess Luna?"

Twilight grinned as she explained "princess Luna is one of my friends... She really loves the night time because she IS responsible for raising and lowering the moon..". At first tails simply nodded but a few seconds later he did a double take as he yelled.

" WHAT? That's impossible!"

"Huh? What's impossible?" Twilight said puzzled

"Your friend... Can't...raise the moon twilight..." Tails said while facepalming.

"What are you talking about? She does it every day! Although maybe someone else does it on your world..." Twilight said as she rubbed her muzzle with her hoof.

"Um...nobody has the power to RAISE moons here twilight..." Tails said with with a blank face.

Then behind them rainbow said "really? If nopony raises the moon here then how does it get done?"

Tails facepalmed again as he groaned "I can't believe this shi.." Suddenly sonic blurted out "you can't believe what?".

Tails cringed as he said " in Equestria they have a queen that raises the moon..". Sonic looked at tails with a deadpan expression before he busted out laughing causing tails to laugh as well. Rainbow and twilight we're glaring at them angrily...they were not amused. Twilight grabbed sonic and tails with her magic and yelled "HEY! We don't make fun of your world so don't laugh at ours!". Sonic chuckled as he said " I'm sorry girls but I'd have to see it to believe it..." Tails added in "yeah I agree... Sorry..". Twilight lowered the boys down as rainbow said " well how about after all this is over we all go back to Equestria and have princess Luna AND Celestia show you their power!". Sonic and tails looked at each other then back to the girls, then sonic said "that sounds like a plan! It will be like...a vacation!". Tails raises his eyebrow as he asked " uh... who is princess celestia?".

Twilight raised her hoof and answered "princess celestia is Luna's older sister and she is responsible for raising and lowering the sun".. Sonic and tails whispered to each other before tails finally said " uh...yeah still don't buy it..". Rainbow huffed as she said "whatever! You guys will see...let's just get moving!".

Everyone nodded as they started running off out of the woods towards the city with sonic and dash in front with tails and twilight (who used her magic to argument her running speed) in the rear. They entered the city and began to slow down and soak in the sights. the large city had tons of signs and flashing lights as well as a bunch of balloons and other decoration. "man this place is like one huge party!" Sonic said as he walked backwards facing the group. Rainbow and twilight cringed when he said that, sonic looked concerned as he asked "what's wrong girls?" Twilight shuddered as she said "one of our friends in Equestria absolutely LOVES parties.." . rainbow dash added in "her name is pinkie pie...she is nice and all put sometimes she is a bit too...energetic...". Sonic shrugged and said " she can't be that bad..."

Out of nowhere Tails quickly yelled out "sonic! Watch out!" But it was too late, sonic fell over a ledge...

"Ahhhhhh!" Sonic screamed as a few seconds later a loud thud was heard, the group rushed over to the ledge and peered over it. To their surprise sonic was sitting on a large metallic barrel with red and white diamonds all over it, it was spinning and floating in place.

"Few... I was almost a pancake!" Sonic said as he scratched his head with a smile.

"That was close" tails said relieved

"Gosh...I was worried for a second there.." Twilight said with a smile

Rainbow dash on the other hand was extremely worried as she said "oh my gosh sonic! Thank celestia your OK! I was SO worried... Uh...I mean...your such a clutz blue boy.." She said as she turned away with a blush. Tails and twilight looked at each other with blank faces as sonic looked up to them flushing.

Sonic jumped off the barrel and back onto the ledge as tails narrowed his eyes staring at the barrel. "Somthing is...off here". sonic looked confused as he asked " what's wrong dude?". Tails rubbed his chin "I don't know... But somthing is suspicious about that...thing" he said pointing at the barrel. Rainbow dash snickerd as she jumped onto the barrel and started to bounce on it like a trampoline, "come on guys this is fun!" Sonic smiled and jumped onto the barrel and did the same. Twilight walked next to tails and said "I agree with you tails...that thing is creepy..." She then frowned and added "how come they always jump in without thinking?" Tails shrugged and said "well I guess that's our job twilight...". The two laughed as they jumped and landed behind the barrel. Tails put his hands on his hips as he said " alright love birds...lets get moving!".

Sonic and rainbow quickly darted off the barrel with thier faces flushing. Tails and twilight shook thier heads as they walked ahead at the same time. Sonic and rainbow frowned as sonic yelled after them "looks who is talking brainiacs!" Tails and twilight glared back with red cheeks while sonic and rainbow simply smiled nervously. Sonic and rainbow got up and sprinted past tails and twilight into the heart of the city.

"Well... There they go again!" Tails said rolling his eyes while twilight giggled.

Sonic ran down a large pipe bridge so fast he began to spin around it. Then he went through an area that had some sort of gravity defying devices on the floor because as sonic ran over them he started to float in the air. He hit the brakes when he saw somthing weird. There was what looked like a large shell sitting in front of him, just then rainbow slammed into Sonic's back knocking them both over as they tumbled around together. When they stopped sonic was on top of rainbow as they both blushed sonic said "ya know...we really shouldn't make a habit of this...". Rainbow frowned mischievously then lightly kicked sonic off of her, he busted out laughing but stopped when he noticed the blue shell thing he was looking at earlier was slowly turning toward him. " what?" Sonic muttered, without warning out of the shell a giant cannon appeared with two large robotic eyes above it. The robot frowned then started firing large spike balls in Sonic's direction, he ran at the machine ducking, flipping and dodging his way towards it before finally kicking it away.

While that was happening rainbow dash was getting chased in the sky by 3 large bat creatures with what looked like light bulbs on their tails. She flew towards 2 large spinning pillars, she was flying so close that the fur on her belly was touching them, this made it difficult for some of the bats to follow as two of them crashed into the cylinder. Then rainbow flew circles around the last one so fast that a mini tornado formed around the bat which started to rip it apart before the bat exploded. Rainbow landed next to sonic who was stomping on one of the bat robots, "nice one rainbow!" He said giving her a thumbs up as she smirked and gave him a salute with her hoof.

Just then both of their wristwatches lit up simultaneously and a message from tails played. "hey sonic and rainbow! wherever you are we hope your OK...but anyway come quick! Twilight and i found a special stage ring!". Sonic and rainbow's eyes lit up as sonic tapped his watch and opened a live call with tails.

" hey buddy! You and twilight did a nice job! "

"Oh thanks sonic!"

"No sweat...we should be there in a minute!" Suddenly Sonic looked up from his watch and saw more bat robots closing in on him and rainbow.

"Uh make that five minutes sonic.." Rainbow said nervously as the bat bots attacked.

Tails leaned on the wall in the special stage room and said "the call was interrupted i hope they are OK.."

"Sonic and rainbow? Ha! I wouldn't worry about them...especially if they are fighting these things" twilight said as she poked a destroyed bat bot that was smoking on the floor. Tails quickly stood up "oh yeah before I forget... I have to give you a communication watch!" Tails pressed the storage button on his watch and another watch appeared in his other hand, this watch was different however as it was outlined in gold instead of silver. It also had small diamonds incrusted on the sides. Tails walked over to twilight and handed it to her and said "this...is...for you...". Twilight's eyes were wide as she blushed and said " oh my gosh! Thank you tails...a bit flashy though..." Tails shrugged and said "well I figured since you were a princess and all that I should make yours special...".

Tails glanced at his watch then said " rainbow and sonic should be here any minute... They then heard the familier sound of rainbow dash laughing approaching them...
