Rio: Sorry for the big wait. But here's finally the chapter, enjoy! :)
(Canterlot, morning)
"Huh, so you guys get rid of that creeps?" Sonic asked.
"Well, the girls did. At least now they can repair the place, they really did a number on the castle, especially the ballroom. It went to the ground." Tails said.
"Is the marriage cancelled then?" Sonic asked.
"I don't think so. They probably will just do the ceremony later, on another place." Tails said.
"And the girls?" Sonic asked.
"They're fine, some still resting, actually just me, you, the princesses and Rainbow Dash is awake." Tails said.
"Rainbow Dash?" Sonic asked.
"Yup, she's flying around the place for some minutes now." Tails said.
"Did I knew her before? Because that name feels familiar." Sonic said.
"Yes, you did. Want to talk to her?" Tails asked.
"Sure." Sonic said, following Tails outside.
They went outside the castle and begin walking around for some minutes, until Tails saw Rainbow lying down on a cloud.
"Look, there she is." Tails pointed to her.
"That pony with the colored mane?" Sonic asked.
"Yup. Hey, Rainbow! Come down here for a sec!" Tails called her. She glanced to them, nodded then she jumped of the cloud, she flied to them and landed on they front.
"Hey, Tails." She greeted him then looked to Sonic, "Hi little one, so you have a reason to call me?" She asked Tails.
"Well, do you remember him?" Tails asked.
"Yeah, he was with you guys when you came at the marriage before this mess started. Why?" Rainbow asked.
"Well... he's Sonic." Tails said, Rainbow just lifted one eyebrow.
"You kidding with me?" She asked, looking through his eyes.
"I wish I was, the princesses's spell backfired and turned him yonger instead of fixing his mentality. And that did made he forgot his memories, again." Tails said.
"..." She didn't say anything as she looked to Sonic and, in a second he found himself in a tight hug from her.
"Rainbow, I can't breath!" Sonic managed to say that as she released him.
"Sorry, *chuckles*, I just can't believe all you've been through already and now this. *sighs* You don't deserve this." Rainbow Dash said, upset.
"Yeah, but the princess is trying to find a spell to fix this. Don't know their progress through." Tails said.
"But can you tell what else I'm missing?" Sonic asked them.
"What you want to know first?" Rainbow asked.
"The other ponies from yesterday, do I know them, too?" Sonic asked.
"They're all your friends too. The purple one named Twilight is Tails's girlfriend." Rainbow said.
"Really?" Sonic asked.
"Uh, yes. Another thing you want to know?" Tails asked.
"Can any of you teach me how to fly? It could be useful." Sonic said.
Tails frowned as Rainbow Dash smirked. "Well, I can. As the fastest flier around Equestria, I can teach you." Rainbow said.
*groans* "Just don't make him crash on me this time, ok?" Tails asked, she nodded to him as he begin going back to the castle. "I'll go check on Celestia, see you two later." He entered the castle.
"You said you was the fastest flier, is that true?" Sonic asked.
"Of course. Nopony is faster than me!" She said.
"Cool. So how do we start?" He asked.
"Do what I do, ok?" She said, extensing her wings.
"Ok." He did the same. She then begin flaping then continuous as she take of the ground, he did the same, slower.
"Good, you progressing. Landing now, ok?" She said..
"Ok." He said, seeing Rainbow landing perfectly on the ground. He then landed too, perfectly too.
"You are doing good." She said.
"Thanks. Now what?" He asked.
"Hm." Rainbow glanced to the sky. "There aren't much clouds around here. Let's have a flight, see how you fly." She said, taking off the ground.
He followed her, they flied for fiveteen minutes around the city. Then they landed at the balcony.
"You're a natural in this stuff." She said, entering the room.
"You really think so?" He asked, entering the room too.
"Yup." She said.
"Thanks for teaching me." He said.
"It was nothing, that's what friends is for." She said.
Sonic begin feeling weird but he didn't say nothing about it. He notice Rainbow glancing at the sky.
"Something wrong?" He asked.
"Eh, just missing my naps I take at the clouds in Ponyville. Here there isn't any clouds at all." She said.
"Then why don't we go to Ponyville?" Sonic asked.
"Uh, because the princesses are trying to find a way to make you turn back to normal." She said.
"... But can't we just go there for a little?" He asked.
"I don't know, Sonic." She said, he begin making a puppy face. "Come on, Sonic. Stop it." She said, trying not to laugh at the cute face his doing.
"Pleaaseee?" He asked.
"I – ugh, Fine! Just don't do that face again." She said.
"Ok, so what are we waiting for? Sonic asked.
"Let's find the others then." She said, going inside the castle with Sonic behind her.
As they entered it, they immeadiatly saw Tails coming to them.
"Hey you two, how was the flight?" He asked.
"It was very cool. We flied around Canterlot." Sonic said.
"That's nice." He said.
"So, where are the others?" Rainbow asked.
"The girls? They went to one of the cafe to have breakfast. I was actually going to meet them now." Tails said.
"Good. Show the way then." She said, following Tails outside.
"So what do you want with them?" Tails asked.
"Actually is Sonic who want something." She said.
"Really? What is it?" He asked.
"Uh, I want to go to Ponyville." Sonic said.
"Wha- why?" He asked.
"Well... I once lived there, right?" Sonic asked, Tails nodded. "So, maybe I can remember something going there." He said.
"Hmm..." Tails begin thinking. "I think that make sense." He said.
"So, where are they?" Sonic asked, looking around as they where at the streets.
"Around the corner." Tails said as they pass it, seeing the girls at a table outside the cafe.
They went to their table, "Good morning." Tails greeted them, sitting down next to Twilight.
"Hi guys." Rainbow greeted them, sitting next to Applejack with Sonic.
"Hi Rainbow, and I see the little one from before. What was his name? I don't remember anypony saying it." Applejack asked.
"Oh, right. Tails didn't tell you all, yet." Rainbow said, glancing at Tails.
"Tell us what?" Twilight asked, looking at Tails.
"Well... he is Sonic." He said, pointing to Sonic.
"You kidding?" Applejack asked.
"Looks like I'm kidding?" Tails asked, annoyed.
"Uh, no." She said.
"How did that happen?" Rarity asked.
"It was Celestia's spell that backfired and make Sonic yonger, which did made he lose his memories, again. She and Luna are trying to find a spell to fix it." He said, the girls gasped.
"So Sonic, want to say what you wanted?" Tails asked.
He nodded, "So I was wondering if we could go to Ponyville." Sonic said.
"Why do you want to go to Ponyville?" Twilight asked.
"Maybe I could remember something from there, don't you think?" Sonic asked.
"I guess, but what about the princesses searching a way to fix it?" Twilight asked.
"She can send us a message, and we will be there in no time." Tails said.
"Right, so let me just let her know we will be going back then." Twilight said as they went back to the castle.
(Two hours later, at Ponyville)
As the train stopped, Sonic was the first to exit it, followed by Rainbow Dash. They immeadiatly leaved the station, as the others exited the train.
"Hey! Where you going?!" Tails asked but didn't get an answer.
"Just let them have their fun." Twilight said.
"Fine." He said, following Twilight to the library. The others just went to mind their business.
(At the library)
*Sighs* "Any ideas?" Tails asked.
"Other than going through the whole library? No." Twilight said.
"Are there a book that will actually help us?" Tails asked.
"Uh... Maybe? I don't know." She said.
"Well, we have to start from somewhere. The sooner we begin searching, the sooner we will discover that." He said as he went to one of the bookshelves.
"Right." Twilight levitated some books to her, reading a part of it, then throwning it to the side.
(With Sonic)
"So, this is your nap place?" Sonic asked as he looked at the tree Rainbow was currently sitting at the base.
"Yup. And sometimes I just sleep on one of the clouds around." She said.
"Can I sit with you?" He asked.
"Sure, why not." She said, giving him space.
He sit next to her. "So... when are we flying again?" He asked.
She chuckled, "Maybe later. Now I just want to take a little nap." She said, yawning.
"Oh, ok." He said, looking down.
"Come on, don't be like that now." She said, rubbing his head. "How about this? After my nap, I'll show you some tricks." She offered.
"Fine." He said, fixing his hair. She then climbed the branch and closed her eyes.
Sonic glanced around as he was about to leave the park when Pinkie Pie appeared. "Hi, Sonic!" She greeted him.
"Ah! Don't scare me like that, Pinkie." He said.
*Giggles* "Sorry. So what are you doing here?" She asked.
"I wastalking with Dash, but now she's sleeping." He said, sounding upset.
"What's the problem?" She asked.
"Well, I wanted her to show me some tricks, but she said she will just after her nap." He said.
"Hmm... What if we prank her?" Pinkie suggested, giggling.
"What kind of prank?" Sonic asked, interessed.
She smirked as she begin whispering in his ear.
(With Tails)
He put the book back on the bookshelve as he rubbed his head. "Please, tell me you find anything." He said.
"Didn't found anything, yet." She said, still going through a line full of books she's levitanting from the shelve to her.
"I will take a break, want anything to eat?" He asked.
"No, thanks." She said.
He nodded as he went to the kitchen, founding Spike munching a sandwich. "You better not be eating my sandwich again, Spike." Tails warned him as he opened the fridge.
"This time I made one, don't you worry. So, any progress?" He asked.
*Sighs*"No." Tails said, munching his sandwich.
"Did you searched Twilight's room?" Spike asked.
"No, why should we?" Tails asked, confused.
"There is where we store the pills she made, the same Sonic ate." Spike said, finishing his sandwich.
Tails was about to bit his sandwich when he realised. "Of course! Why haven't we think about that before?" Tails asked no one as he dropped his sandwich on the table and went to Twilight's room.
Spike glanced at the door to see if Tails was there, when he confirmed Tails leaved, he grabbed his sandwich and went outside, chuckling.
(At Twilight's room)
As Tails entered it, he begin searching where the pills would be stored. He found two bottles of pills after a minute searching, he grabbed it and went downstairs.
"Twilight! Twilight!" Tails called her as he entered the hall.
"What is it, Tails?" She asked.
"Look." He said, giving her the pills.
"The... pills?" She asked, looking at him.
"You said, you forgot the recipe, right?" He asked as she nodded. "Well, we can make some analysis. Then make na antidote to return Sonic's mentallity back to normal. Then we just cast na spell to grow him up." He said.
She begin thinking, "Ok, it's worth a shot." She said, following Tails to the basement, where her chemistry lab is.
(With Fluttershy)
"Ok, so I just need to-", "SONIC! PINKIE! CAME BACK HERE, NOW!" Fluttershy got scared as she looked to the direction the shout came, seeing Sonic and Pinkie Pie running to her direction.
"Fluttershy, don't tell her we are here!" Pinkie said as they hid behind one of the stands as Rainbow Dash appeared in Fluttershy's vision. She was completed covered in flour and feathers.
"Rainbow? What happened?" She asked.
"Sonic and Pinkie happen. Did you saw them?" Rainbow asked.
"Uh...".Fluttershy didn't know if she should or not tell.
"Fluttershy. You saw them, did you?" She asked.
"Maybe...?" She said.
"Ugh, just tell me where they are." Rainbow said, very annoyed.
"Should you take a bath? Before it get stick on your fur." She said, glancing at the stand they hid.
"Grrr, not before I find them." She said, growling.
"Alright, they went to that direction." She said, pointing to the lake.
"You sure?" She asked.
"Yes, very." Fluttershy said.
"Ok, you better not be lying to me." Rainbow said as she flied to the lake.
"Phew, thanks Flutttershy." Pinkie said as they leaved they hinding place.
"Just don't make me lie to Rainbow again, ok?" Fluttershy asked, they nodded and she went to find tomatoes.
"Alright, we better split up. So it will be morw difficult for her to find us." Sonic said.
"Ok, see ya!" Pinkie Pie said, going to the lake direction, forgeting completely about Rainbow going there.
"Alright, I better hid at the library until Rainbow calm down." He said, going to the library.
As he arrived, he entered the library. Finding a mess of books everywhere, he looked to the hallway and found the door to the basement open.
"Hey, Sonic." Cinos called him as he appeared in his front.
"Cinos, about time you showed up." Sonic said.
"Eh, I was busy." He said.
"With the memory thing, I get it." Sonic said, going to the door.
"So, what did I miss?" Cinos asked.
"Oh, not much. Just me and Pinkie Pie making Rainbow Dash mad." He said, chuckling.
"You know when she find you, it will not be pretty." He said.
"I'm hoping when that happens, she would be cool by the time she finds me." Sonic said, going downstairs.
He soon find Tails and Twilight using the lab, he doesn't have an idea of what they're doing. "Hello." He said.
"Hm?" Tails looked around and saw him. "Oh, hi Sonic. Need something?" He asked.
"No, I'm just curious. What you two doing?" Sonic asked, looking at the many instruments at the table.
"We just finished analysing these pills, we are already making an antidote prototype." Tails said as Twilight went to them, holding a potion.
"Here. Try this." She said, handing him the potion. Sonic smelled it and turned to the side.
"This smells horrible." He said.
"Just drink it without smelling it." Tails said, chuckling.
Sonic glanced at them, then looked in the corner of his eye Cinos, who just shruggered. "Ok, here goes nothing." He said, drinking the whole bottle.
"Feel anything diferent?" Twilight asked.
"No... Wait." He said as he begin holding his stomach. He then collapsed to the ground, but before Tails could get near him, Sonic got surrounded by a blue smoke. The smoke disappeared as fast as it came, revealing Sonic but with a slight diference. He suddently had na horn on his head. Tails and Twilight were shocked as Sonic get up, groaning.
"Ugh, that wasn't nice." He said, then notice their faces. "What? Something on my face?" Sonic asked.
"Not in your face. Look up." Cinos said.
Sonic looked up and saw the blue sharp horn on his fore head. "WHAT THE? WHY I HAVE I HORN?!" Sonic asked, freaking out.
"SONIC! Calm down, we will fix that. Just calm down." Tails managed to calm him, but only just.
"How I'm supposed to calm down? There's a freaking horn on my forehead! Pegasus aren't supposed to have horns." Sonic said.
"Well, Sonic. Look at the bright side, maybe you can use magic now." Twilight said.
That got his full attention, "Wait, really?" He asked.
"I don't know. We don't know if the potion just give you a horn or if turned you into an alicorn." She said, writing down a note.
"What's a alicorn?" Sonic asked.
"It's a pony that is part pegasus, part unicorn and part earth pony." She said.
"Like aunt Celestia?" He asked.
'Aunt?' She wondered, "Yeeeahh..." Twilight said.
"Want to test that horn?" Tails asked, smirking.
"Yes!" Sonic said as he runned upstairs.
"Ok, it's your turn to keep making potions." Twilight said, going upstairs.
"Wait, where you going?" Tails asked.
"I'll see if Sonic is able to use magic. You continue making potions, and don't forget to note the recipes." She said, leaving the basement.
He groaned, going back to work.
(Upstairs)
"Alright, Sonic. To be able to use magic, you have to mantain an certain level of concentration." She said.
"Concrentation, got it." He said.
"Ok, let's try an easy one, the levitation spell." Twilight said, levitanting one of the books to her, then to one of the shelves.
Sonic then looked to the book in his front, "Just think of picking up the book without touching it." She said.
He nodded as he fixed his vision on the book, it passed some seconds when the book begin moving very slowly to the shelve.
"Good work, Sonic. Just try to do it a little faster." Twilight said.
"Ok." He did the same with four more books, each more fast then the other.
"Excellent, Sonic. You get the hang of it." She said.
"What more spells can I do? Maybe shot a fireball? Oh, maybe lightning!" Sonic said, very excited as he continued saiyng more spells.
"Uh, I think you should just stay at the levitantion for now." She said.
"Aww, come on. Please? Just one more." He asked, making the same cute face he did early.
"Aww, look how cute. Ok, one more." She said, picking her spell book and going through it until she stopped on one of them and showed Sonic the page.
"Uh..." He start reading it. "A... teleportation spell?" Sonic asked as he looked to Twilight.
"Yes, so do you want to learn that?" She asked.
"Of course I do." He said, excited.
"Ok, so this one works like this..." She start showing him.
(With Rainbow)
"Alright, Pinkie. Where's Sonic?" She asked, shaking the water out of her fur.
"I don't know." Pinkie Pie said, pulling out the feathers Rainbow put on her hair.
"What you mean, 'you don't know'?" She asked.
"We split up when you talked with Fluttershy." Pinkie said.
"Grr, then you're gonna help search for him." Rainbow said, going back to the market with Pinkie Pie following her. They searched the entire market, checked with Fluttershy if she saw him (confirming if she wasn't hidding him) then they went to ask the girls.
"Hi Rarity. Did you saw Sonic?" Pinkie asked.
"I actually did saw him going to the library, why?" She asked.
"Rainbow's searching him." Pinkie said as Rainbow approuched her.
"So?" She asked.
"He's at the library." Pinkie said.
"Of course he's there." She said, running to the library.
"Did something happened?" Rarity asked.
"Me and Sonic pranked on Rainbow, she already got back on me." Pinkie said, pulling out another feather from her hair.
As Rainbow went to the library, she saw on one of the windows, Sonic teleporting nonstop around the library. Rainbow rubbed her eyes, not believing on them as she went inside.
"That was awesome!" Sonic said, teleporting in front of Twilight.
"Can someone tell me what's happening here?" Rainbow asked.
Sonic gasped and hid behind Twilight. "Hi, Rainbow Dash. Just teaching some spells to Sonic." She said.
"Wait... What?" Rainbow asked, she then finally noticed the horn in his forehead. "What the? How did- what happened to him?!" Rainbow asked, going from angry to worried as she pulled Sonic to her, checking if the horn was real.
"Uh, well, our first attempt on returning Sonic back to normal didn't went so well." Twilight said.
"Yeah, I think I've noticed it." She said, poiting to Sonic's horn.
Twilight rolled her eyes, then Spike entered te library. "Twilight, did you remember of writing a letter to Celestia?" He asked, grabbing a scroll and quill from one of the tables.
*gasp* "I completely forgot!" Twilight went to Spike, saying to him write.
"Ok, so how it feels having a horn?" Rainbow asked.
"It's awesome. I can levitate things and enhance my strenght. And Twilight will teach me more later." He said, very excited.
Rainbow frowned at that. "But what about the tricks I would show you? Don't you wanna see?" She asked.
"Oh, yes. I want." He said. Twilight glanced at them.
"Let's go then." Raonbow said, going outside with him.
Spike was writing the letter when he notice she wasn't finishing the letter. "Twilight?" He called her
"Spike. Put the books back on place while I'm out." She said, going to the door.
"Where you going?" He asked.
"Getting back my soon new student!" She said, leaving.
"What? But what about the letter!*Sighs* Better just keep on cleaning this mess, I guess." Spike said, grabbing some books from the ground.
(A very, very, veryyyy far place)
"How much long will take to find him?" A pink hedgehog asked a walrus who was tipping on a computer.
"Ugh, Amy. Can you, please, stop asking the same question you keep asking for weeks now." Rotor said, configuring the machine.
"Acttualy, it has passed a month with she asking the same questions." Nicole said, materializing herself next to them.
*sighs* "Fine." She said, leaving the room.
"Amy, what did I say to you about going there?" Sally asked.
"Not entering there to annoy Rotor." Amy said.
"Yes, and yet you continue to do so. *Sighs* Look, I know you miss Sonic and Tails. Hell, we all do, but we can't do much until Rotor and Nicole find them." She said.
"But I want to do something to help finding him." Amy said, upset.
*sighs* "Like I said, we can't do much until they find him." She said as Antoine and Bunnie came to her.
"Sally, the destruction of robotnik's remains facilitys is done." Antoine said.
Sally nodded. "Good, send the teams to clean them and Robotropolis." She ordened as they nodded and leaved. "Amy, why don't you go and see Cream? I'm sure she will be happy to have you there, I need to go now. See ya later." Sally said, going to the building Rotor and Nicole were.
"Alright." Amy said, going to Mrs. Vanilla's house.
(With Sally)
"Nicole, show me the remains of robotropolis." Sally said.
"Here." Nicole pulled a screen to Sally, who looked at it. She saw a huge crater and some collapsed buildings, as some Freedom Fighters around the area.
"Any particular reason to want to look at it again, Sally?" Rotor asked, looking away from his monitor.
*sighs* "I just wanted to see the crater the once Robotropolis were. The last place Sonic and Tails went before desappearing with Eggman." She said, pulling the screen away.
"..." He didn't say anything. Suddently his monitor beginned beeping. That get all they attention.
"What you found, Rotor?" Sally asked.
"Hm, it's a energy pulse. It came from..." He didn't finished.
"From where Rotor?" Sally asked.
"... From Robotropolis." Nicole said, showing in a screen the crater again.
"Do you think that will help us find Sonic?" She asked.
"I'm not sure, but it's all we got." He said.
"Then let's get started, I'll send a team to bring you and whatever you need to Robotropolis right away." Sally said, going to the door, turning on her communicator.
"Bunnie, you there?" Sally asked, outside the building.
"Yes, I'm here." She said.
"Go and bring Rotor and his equipaments to Robotropolis, we have a lead." Sally said, turning off the communicator.
"Ok, Amy. You wanted to help, here's your chance." She said, going to Vanilla's house.
(Back with Sonic)
He was currently sit at the border of the lake, watching Rainbow Dash making some maneuvers at the sky, when he feel being picked up from the ground. "Hey! What the idea?" Sonic asked as he saw Twilight bringing him to the hill near the lake, putting him down to the ground.
"So Sonic, ready to learn another spell?" She asked.
"Yes!" He said, forgeting about Rainbow who notice Twilight's doing.
"Oh, so she really want to compete, huh?" Rainbow said, flying next to Sonic.
"Hey, Sonic. Wanna race me to the other side of Ponyville?" Rainbow asked.
"See ya at the finish line!" Sonic said, flying as fast as he could. He turned back and saw Rainbow and Twilight discussing, "Oh, come on." He said, turning back.
"Hey! What's the idea?" Twiligh asked.
"If you haven't notice, I'm teaching Sonic flying maneuvers." Rainbow said.
"Well, I was teaching him spells so if you could stop getting his attention." Twilight said.
"I was teaching him first!" Rainbow said.
"No, I was!" Twilight said.
"N-", "ENOUGH!" Sonic shouted as he flied back to them, then he teleported them back to the library. "Can you two stop acting like kids?" Sonic asked.
"Wha-? You the kid here, Sonic." Rainbow said.
"And yet I'm the one who is stopping you two from fighting." He said.
"He's right. I don't know what got on me." Twilight said.
"It's fine. I think I'll just hang on with the teleportation and levitation spell Twi, if that's fine by you?" He asked.
"Sure, I'm already already happy that you are using two spells I teached." Twilight said.
"Ok, see you later then." He said as she entered the library. "So, you still going to show me some maneuvers?" Sonic asked as Rainbow nodded and lead him back to the lake.
(At Canterlot, late afternoon)
Celestia was at her balcony when Luna came in her room.
"Hello, sister. Any news?" Luna asked.
"Yes, here." She gave the letter to Luna, when she finished reading she laughed a little. "That really happened?" Luna asked, laughing.
*giggling* "Yeah, at least he seems to adapt to it relatively fast." She said.
"Yeah, you right. Good night, sister." Luna said, leaving the room.
"Good night." Celestia said, putting the sun down.
