Taking Flight
In a field not to far off by the mystic ruins, Sonic was running through the fields carrying Pinkie Pie in his arms as she held onto him as well. Twilight was flying near him carrying Spike on her back, with Rainbow Dash following with her but going by a little faster than her.
"So, Sonic ….are we there yet?" Pinkie asked Sonic as her cotton candy hair was flowing through the wind. "No, Pinkie we're not there yet and you've already said that three times already." He said to her grumbling as he kept running as Pinkie giggled.
"Hehe, I know, but it's fun to do that!" She said still having her cheery demeanor as Sonic just rolled his eyes and kept running.
Near them, Twilight was watching them and felt her mind being provoked. "W-Why am I feeling this? Is it because Pinkie's near Sonic, but I know she's not trying to….NO just stop it Pinkie's my friend she would never do that!" She kept thinking until Spike snapped her out of it.
"Hey Twilight?" He said as Twilight heard his voice as she heard it from him. "W-what is it Spike?" She asked while she straightened her wings.
"I don't remember you flying this good back in Equestria, what happened?" He asked wondering about Twilight.
"Well, I guess I got better?" She said looking for an excuse though Spike's face looked unconvinced like he didn't believe what Twilight said.
"Ok, Sonic kinda helped me with my speed and well I can go faster, though don't tell Rainbow Dash." She whispered though they were in the air.
"Why not?" Spike asked while Twilight sighed heavily.
"Because I don't want her to see I can go somewhat as fast as Sonic and I don't want to challenge her." She said looking sheepish, Spike nodded as he smiled.
"Challenge me on what?" They turned around and see Rainbow Dash who was flying beside them looking confused.
"Uh, on uhhhhh, the uhhh Wonderbolts trivia?" Twilight said coming up with something on the fly. Rainbow then looked confused on why she said that, though she went with it. "Well, not to brag Twi, but I know the wonderbolts." She said proudly. "Ok then." She said as Twilight now flying back on course as well as Rainbow Dash.
Meanwhile Tails was setting up the Tornado as it was on the runway.
"Tails?" He heard a voice and sees Rarity looking at him. "What is it Rarity?" He asked as he looked at her.
"When will we be going? It's so….uh messy here, and the clothes in your closet are SOOO drab here." (I dunno fashion talk. :I)
Tails then looks at her with the most 'Are you kidding me' face. "Well, I'm sorry if my clothes offend you Rarity, it's just what I, a mechanic wear when I'm working on my things!" He pointed to himself as he was wearing nothing but a white shirt and rugged shorts.
"Well I just think that you should use a little spicing with fabric on these clothes?" She said as she touched his shirt. "Well, thanks for the suggestion Rare but I don't want to ruin it's colors with oil." He said explaining to her, while she thought of what he said.
"Hmmm, I guess you're right, black doesn't go with other colors, it'll get in the way." She then looks at the plane. "Wow, this machine you're working looks grand, when will we be ready to travel?" She asks.
"Until Sonic and your friends come here, for now I'm just putting the finishing touches on the Tornado." He confirms it to her.
"OK, I'll just go wait in the living room." She walks back through the door, with Fluttershy coming out of it with a plate holding two cups of tea as she said hi to Rarity and then looks at what Tails was doing.
"Miles?" She asked as he looked to her call. "What is it Fluttershy?" He asked her.
I wanted to ask if you want some tea I made?" She asked Tails as he smiles as he gets out of the plane. "Sure I can go for some tea." He takes the cup and drinks it slowly from the heat of it along with Fluttershy.
Fluttershy smiles as she looks out of the runway and sees the view of the sea horizon. Fluttershy sighs with delight.
Wow, this view of the ocean looks great." She then puts the cup down on the plate and flies upwards and looks the view of the ocean with Tails flying with her.
"You really like this view don't you?" He asked as Fluttershy then smiled as she looks at the view again.
"I just always dreamed of living in these parts of the world!" She says as she then her eyes went wide and puts her hand over her mouth. "I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that in front of you." She shyly said as Tails then places his hand on her shoulder.
"Hey it's alright." He said as he assures her and slightly laughs and Fluttershy goes along with him, as they blush together as they look away from each other by feeling embarrassed. They then look out in the distance and sees Sonic and Twilight and her friends coming onto the front door.
"Look they're here let's get Applejack and Rarity ready?" She asked as Tails nodded. "R-Right." He said as they flew back down to the runway and back through the back door.
They greeted them as each of them as they went to look at Tails plane.
"Wow, this thing looks so awesome!" Dash said as she looks at it with Pinkie looking at it as well. "This looks like one of my flying machines back at home!" She looks at the propeller and spins it around, as Applejack takes her off it. "Ok I think you should stop that before ya lose something on yourself sugarcube." She says as Pinkie nods and gets off.
Twilight then sees Celestia off by the side as she then goes to her. "Princess? Aren't you coming with us?" She asks as the celestial princess then heard this and then response to her.
"I can't Twilight, because I …..don't think I want to face with Sunset yet, also I'll guard the mirror in case she comes back." She pats the mirror as Twilight nods.
"Alright then." She then goes over to Sonic as he was sitting around. "Alright then we're ready to go!" She said as Sonic jumps off the couch. "Alright Twilight!" He then goes to Tails who got out of his working clothes and has on a yellow jacket and brown shorts. He also has a pair of googles on his head. He looks to be ready to fly though he saw with Pinkie hanging on the top of one the wings with Applejack holding onto one of the other wings.
"Uhh, are you sure you two are gonna be alright on there?" Tails asked the two girls.
"Don't worry, I'll be alright!" Pinkie smiled. "And don't worry about me sugarcube, I've dealt with worse than this." She puts a thumbs up.
Tails nods as he then got into the cockpit with Rarity in the backseat she looked nervous as she looked over the sides.
"So, are you alright there Rarity?" He asks as she faces him.
"W-Why yes dear I'm fine, I'm just checking around and seeing if the cockpit is safe." She looked scared. Tails then places his hand on her shoulder. "Look it's ok, I've been flying this baby for years and you'll be safe, here." He then sits her down on her seat, and straps her in with the seat belt.
"It's called a 'Seat Belt' it'll help you be stay on your seat." Rarity then gives a thumbs up as she calmed down, he gets on the seat and starts the Tornado, he gets out a remote switch that when he presses it as this happens the palmtrees on the runway start to move away and the driveway was cleared.
"Alright you girls ready?" He said as the ones on the plane gave a thumbs up. And Rainbow Dash got close to Tails.
"And we'll follow you right Fluttershy?" She said to her, as she slightly said yes, with Twilight agreeing.
Okay LET'S GO!" He said as the plane took off from the runway and into the air with the girls with wings following it, behind it Celestia was watching them take off.
"Be safe, girls." She sighed as she went back through the door.
The plane was flying through the skies with Sonic standing on the front wings feeling the gust of wind going through him, and Pinkie was gazing through the sky.
"Wow, this sky looks totally different from ours doesn't it Applejack?" She said as Applejack was holding the plane wing with one hand and another on her hat.
"Yeah you're right the sky looks mighty different from ours." She said as she looks at the clouds. Twilight also was feeling the wind go through her as she flies and extends her arms.
"Uh Twilight? Are you alright?" Rainbow Dash asked as she was flying through the air with Fluttershy next to her.
"Yeah, we've never seen you this comfortable in the air." She said worried.
"We usually we see you struggle with flying." Rainbow had her eyebrow raised.
Twilight heard them questioning her as she said. "Oh it's just...Sonic sort of taught me to be better throught the wind as he says it." She said as the two half pegasus girls felt confused from her statement.
"Huh, I didn't know Sonic could fly?" Dash said as she looks at the blue human on the plane.
"Well, no he doesn't fly, he just goes where the wind takes him, and I,,,,,like that about him." She said blushing a little as she looks at him. Dash then got the idea as she giggled when she sees this. Fluttershy wonder what was she giggling about.
"Uh Rainbow, why are you giggling about?" She asked as Rainbow stopped laughing.
"Oh it's because Twilight has a.." She was talking with Fluttershy but then her mouth was magically zipped up by Twilight.
"It's because I uhh, I told…..Rainbow Dash a joke yeah a joke!" She stuttered as Fluttershy was confused.
"Ok-then I wonder what the joke was?" She said as they then noticed something on the horizon.
"OH HEY LOOK THERE'S SOMETHING OVER THERE!" Twilight yelled out as she was trying to steer away from their conversation.
"Yeah I see something up ahead it's an…..island?" She said as everyone looked at what Fluttershy was talking about. Rainbow Dash tried unzipping her mouth hought Twilight did that as she breaths from her mouth.
"It looks like it's a floating above the water!" Pinkie said. As Twilight looked around to Pinkies comment.
"Wait, WHAT!?" She stopped and looked at the island and did see that island was floating about the ocean .
she then flies right to where Sonic was. "Sonic what is that?" She asked as Sonic chuckled
"That's Angel Island, we're going to get help from somebody on there." He said as Rarity wondered.
"Help? Who's going to help us dearie?" She asked as Tails gave out an answer.
"From a treasure hunter, and the guardian of that island." He said as the others were confused as they were reaching the island.
MEANWHILE
Sunset was wearing a life preserver with her clothes on as she was treading through the water slowly and discretely in a small boat, out of sight from the others. She was hoping that being on their trail would lead her to the chaos emeralds.
"Ugh, stroke, ugh stroke, ugh I'm gonna get one after this..why the hell are Twilight and her band of misfits going anyway? And why are they going out in the ocean of all places?" She yelled out as she kept rowing the oars with her hands.
"I would be able to just use my magic to just row this automatically, but I need to just stay low to make sure 'Twilicorn' doesn't see she's being followed by me." She then sighed as she kept looking forward. "SIGH The things I do for myself." She sighs as she continues to row, the waves of the water keep shaking as she tries to keep the boat from rocking.
"UGGGH, I hope to Celestia I get to where they're going, or else I'm going to get sick.." She said as she felt her face go green as she goes over to the side of the boat and vomits from seasickness, she got out as she sees something up ahead.
"Wait…...is that an island? And is it floating above the ocean? I need to see this!" She yelled out as she begun to row faster as she wanted to know what this island is.
