Chapter 4: Race of Unexpected Finding
Twilight woke up in her bed. She then walked into a mirror and she looked like a mess.
"Well, this isn't a princess look like, better get my brush." She said to herself as she use her magic to levitate a brush from the other side of the room and into her hands.
She gently brush her hair and it slowly fix itself. Twilight is basically wearing her favorite sleepwear, a white long sleeve with a title of 'Best Student' written in the center of the shirt. She then finished her grooming stuffs and ready to start the day. As slowly she went down, she smelled something nice. She checked the kitchen only to find Sonic and Spike cooking breakfast.
"Hey I didn't know you wake up early." Twilight said as she rubs her eyes.
"Oh yeah, since I slept in your house, I would rather give the princess some amazing dish to cook as a thanks." Sonic said as he is busy cooking.
Twilight giggles at this, "Well am I the one who supposed to show hospitality here?"
"Twilight! Can't you smell that? It's amazing!" Spike said as he is waiting for the breakfast to cook.
"Since when did you start waking up early?" Twilight wondered.
"Well, I was just about to cook and few minutes later he might have smelled the breakfast that was being cook." Sonic said as he flip something in the pan.
"So, is that a Mobian dish?" Twilight questions as she sits down in the table as well.
"Of sorts. I was taught to cook by myself since I've been eating too much chili dogs." Sonic said as he spices the dish.
"What's a... chili dog?" Spike wondered.
"Looks like they don't have Chili Dogs here... bummer. I've never eaten chili dogs for awhile now..." Sonic thought as he looked at Spike to explain, "Well, chili dogs are kinda like spicy sausage that is covered with a bread."
"You mean a carrot dog?" Spike thought.
"Uhh, sorta." Sonic then looked at back to his doing, "Okay... they don't have meat. Better not mention that."
Sonic then finished his cooking and present Twilight and Spike his dish. Sunny Side up eggs and some Scrambled Eggs.
"What are these?" Twilight wondered.
"It's what we called Sunny Side-Up eggs." Sonic said as Spike then suddenly thought of something.
"E-Eggs? I never knew Sunny Side-Up has eggs..." Spike said though Sonic then process what Spike said.
"Oh those aren't really eggs, it's just what we call to that dish we cook, it didn't came from anyone's eggs." Sonic said as he tried to put it in a simpler way.
As Twilight slowly eats the eggs that Sonic made. Her eyes flared up and her mouth wants more of the dish. She never had a breakfast like that amazing. Sonic joins in to eat, though he noticed that Twilight was enjoying the food he made and same goes for Spike as well.
"So? How's the taste?" Sonic questions the princess.
"It's so amazing! The taste and flavor is far different from what I've eaten! You're food back at your world is totally delicious Sonic." Twilight said with a warmth smile.
Sonic couldn't help but to blush and smile as a princess enjoyed his cooking skills even though cooking is not also his best skill. "Well, if you're at our world, there more foods that can be combined with eggs." Sonic said as Spike then got on to his face.
"Can you make them?!" Spike said in excitement.
"Sorry Spike, but those dishes I'm talking about are... kinda advance." Sonic said as he tried to push Spike away from his face.
"Come on Spike, let Sonic eat first. We have to find their missing gems." Twilight said as she continue to eat her eggs and slowly bites to feel the taste.
After their breakfast is over. Sonic then sat on top of the tree house wondering about somethings. Twilight followed him to ask about his world.
"Sonic?"
Sonic looked at Twilight, "Yeah?"
Twilight flew down and sit beside Sonic, "What was your world look like?"
Sonic then looked at the view from Twilight's house the sunrise and everything. "It's just like this... peaceful and beautiful." Sonic then closed his eyes and feel the wind, he also lean back to a sleeping like position.
"What are you doing?" Twilight tilts her head.
"Feeling the wind and sun. You should try it." Sonic said.
And Twilight did, at first she doesn't feel the wind, but as sooner the time goes on, she can starts to feel it as well. Her wings spread apart and let the sun shines her face.
"This... this is amazing... I feel like I'm flying." Twilight said as she looked at Sonic.
She couldn't help but her heartbeat is getting faster the longer she stares. At realization, she then shake her head and looked away.
"W-What is this feeling? Why it get hot? It's not I like him! Come on Twilight... I just met him yesterday..." Twilight thoughts said as she tried to get out of her mind, but as soon she did that, she remembered what Sonic had said about the name Tails. "Sonic, whose Tails?"
Sonic then opened his eyes. "Tails...? Oh, you must've heard about what I said last night."
"Yes, and I wanna know, is he important to you?" Twilight wondered.
"He is more than important, to put it in a simpler way, he is more of a family." Sonic said while staring at the sky.
"What happened to him?" Twilight then got curious.
"Well, you asked me what's my world look like right?" Sonic questions and Twilight nods, "Right now... my world Mobius, is filled with horror and war." Sonic said as he raised his hand in the sky like he is reaching something.
Twilight didn't talk, she just listens to Sonic's story.
"The burning sounds that happening right now at Mobius... I could feel it... their suffering and slavery by my arch nemesis, Dr. Eggman." Sonic said as Twilight gave Sonic a puzzled look. Sonic noticed this and decided to explain about Eggman.
"In case you're wondering who's this guy. This fat-so wants to rule Mobius, but I always get in the way of his plans and simply beating him everytime." Sonic said as he chuckles.
"So you're a hero in your world, that's amazing." Twilight said though she got scared as Sonic clench his fists.
"No... I failed to save them... I failed to save my world." Sonic said as he put his arm over his eyes to cover the shame.
Twilight decided to come closer to make him feel better but Sonic quickly gets up to a sitting position and let Twilight knew that he is alright.
"And then, Eggman didn't just conquer but also Mephiles decided to join the war and controlled my friends, and used them to beat us to death." Sonic said as Twilight then got frighten about it.
Sonic continued, "Shadow, Silver, and I are about to use the chaos emeralds... but Tails decided to teleport us away. He sacrificed himself for unknown reason..."
Twilight's heart melt as she couldn't believe what Sonic experienced. Losing his friends, his world, and even his best friend that he considered as a brother. Twilight was about to ask Sonic about his parents but something disturbed them.
"Hey Sonic!" A familiar voice said.
They looked above and saw that it was Rainbow Dash. "Not the time Rainbow..." Twilight thought and Sonic wipe off his tears.
"Yo Rainbow, what's up." Sonic said as he stood up.
"Don't forget that we have a race right?" Rainbow said making Sonic remember about it.
"Oh yeah, sure thing. You ready to lose the title of the fastest?" Sonic said as he smirked.
Twilight just watched Sonic and Rainbow talking, she is surprised that Sonic's expression quickly changes. "Does he just hide his feelings to others...?" Twilight thought.
"Uhm, Twilight have you told Sonic the places we are headin?" Rainbow questioned and Twilight quickly shake her head.
"Huh? Oh um... no I haven't." Twilight said.
"Alright I've pick the 'sort of' fair race for us, the race begins at the park over there. Then next is we head around the town square, then head to Sweet Apple Acres and then we run towards through Everfree Forest, think you can handle it now Sonic?" Rainbow questioned Sonic as he just determined.
"Heck yeah I am!" Sonic said in excite.
"R-Rainbow Dash, Everfree Forest are you serious about that?" Twilight said in worry.
"Relax Twilight, we'll be careful and plus, you can cast a spell for our safety aswell right?" Rainbow said in assurance.
Twilight sighed, "Yes... I can do that."
"See? and then lastly we race on to the Ghastly Gorge. Getting in is easy for you but getting out, may be a challenge. And then finding a way to go back at the park. Got that?" Rainbow said as Sonic gave her a thumbs up, "Great! I'll wait both of you at the starting line!" She said before flying off.
"Sonic, please be careful at Everfree Forest and at the Gastly Gorge, those places are easy enough Rainbow to dodge the obstacles and I don't want you get-" Twilight was cutoff by Sonic.
"Don't worry Twilight. It will take more danger to stop me from running." Sonic said with a smirk making Twilight realize his determination and bravery.
"O-Okay Sonic. I'll tell you the places that Rainbow mentioned." Twilight said.
"Perfect." Sonic said as he is ready to bring the rainbow down.
At the park where the race begins. Silver and Rarity with Fluttershy were waiting for the racers to start.
"Why do we have to be here this early again?" Silver thought as he yawned.
"Silver, this a race of the century, I can't possibly wait for this moment even." Rarity said as she looked around. Also, Rarity wear a large hat that cover herself from the sun and also some shades.
"Y-Yeah... I-I mean no one has ever raced Rainbow Dash... and beaten Rainbow Dash..." Fluttershy quietly said.
"Now that you mention, this is really exciting to see." Silver said as he crossed his arms.
In the distance they saw Twilight and Pinkie running to them and Applejack and Shadow where walking from behind.
"Looks like more audience wants to see the race." Silver said as Rairty and Fluttershy looked at the group catching up.
"Is it starting?" Pinkie said in excitement.
"Not yet exactly." Twilight said.
"Whoowie, this is gonna be a race alright." Applejack said as she managed to catch up.
Silver noticed Shadow came along.
"Since when you are a fan of a race?" Silver teased Shadow.
"Hmph, I'm only here to see faker lose." Shadow said as he crossed his arms.
"There are chances that Sonic could win but higher chance for Rainbow to win." Twilight said.
"Perfect." Shadow said.
In the distance, Sonic was running more like jogging and he stopped before the line.
"Heya!" Sonic waved at them.
"Woohoo Sonic!" The girls and Silver cheered for him except Shadow of course.
Then from above, Rainbow flew down and landed in style.
"Heh! Not late I see?" Rainbow said as she looked at Sonic as the girls cheered for her and Shadow just raising his fists for what he calls cheering.
"Beat the faker rainbow hair." Shadow said from afar.
Twilight then positioned in front of them, "Alright you two, you guys ready?"
Sonic and Rainbow Dash went on through their stretchings and got to their pose.
"Alright then, Ready?"
Sonic lowered his body and placed his hands on to the ground. Rainbow did the same.
"Set..."
Both of them raise their hips and ready for take off.
"GO!" Twilight yelled out as a blue trail and a cyan trail bursts beside her causing a wind wave.
The audience cheered though Shadow just watch. Twilight then puts her hands on to her chest, "Be careful Sonic..."
On their way Sonic and Rainbow Dash are tied neck-to-neck.
"Not bad!" Rainbow said as Sonic looked at her,
"You too! But not enough!" Sonic yelled as he started to gain much more speed reaching Ponyville first.
"Wha! No way!" She then quickly speed herself up and manage to catch up.
Sonic slightly new the area around and he didn't plan the shortcuts. But as soon he got to the Town Square, all he has to do is spin around. He did and got out of Ponyville, he then looked above him seeing Rainbow Dash getting passed him. Sonic looked in front of him as he head to the farm. He saw Rainbow in front of him with the apple trees. Rainbow smirked as she grabbed an apple near to a tree. She then drops it to hit Sonic but Sonic was warned by Twilight. She told him that Rainbow could be sneaky and a cheater. By that, Sonic increased his senses more throughly. Though Rainbow Dash tried to do the same attempt again but as soon she grabbed an apple she looked behind her and seeing no ones there.
"Huh, I guess he is far behind now." Rainbow thought as she then heard a voice below him.
"Hey! Watch were you flying at!" Sonic said as he side step and Rainbow looked infront of her only to get caught to a tree.
Rainbow growled and quickly recovers and catch up to Sonic. They then entered Everfree Forest. Rainbow didn't actually enter she just flew above it. As for Sonic, he use his reflex and skills to past the obstacles without losing speed. He doesn't care the dangers or effects that the Everfree could give him since Twilight puts a magical barrier. Sonic doesn't know where Rainbow is so he is just using his instincts to get out of the forest. As soon he got out, he saw the gorge that Twilight mentions. They then where once again tied. Sonic was running through side of the water river. Sonic looked up and saw Rainbow Dash dodging the dangers in front of her. Sonic didn't care but then Rainbow called her out.
"Hey Sonic! Look what I found!" Rainbow's voice said but Sonic was kept running.
"Heh, you won't trick me Rainbow!" Sonic said but before he gets too far, he then heard crumbling of stones, "What the..."
He looked behind him and he saw that Rainbow Dash was unconscious on to the ground. And he saw that debris of rocks were about to smash her. Sonic quickly run towards her and he manage to get hold on to Rainbow. He hugged her and they got smashed by the debris. But thanks to Twilight's magic. They are still alive. Back at Twilight, she then felt that her magic is running out around Sonic.
"Somethings wrong..." Twilight said as they looked at her.
"What do you mean?" Silver wondered.
"The magic barrier I put around Sonic... it's starting to break. He's in danger!" Twilight came upon her resolve as the group gasped except for Shadow.
"Then we have to find them." Applejack suggested as they all nod and started to follow Twilight.
Shadow was left behind and decided to tag along since he is studying the layout of the world. He sighed before joining in.
Back at Sonic and Rainbow. Sonic was still hugging Rainbow Dash, but the barrier is starting to crack. "This is bad! Twilight's magic is about to be broken and Rainbow Dash is unconscious! Come on Sonic! Think!"
Sonic then looked around but he then noticed the glowing object that is covered by rocks. Sonic brings Rainbow gently down and he started to get the chaos emerald from the hole. Although he can't barely reach it, the barrier is also about to break as there are more cracks happening. Twilight then led the group into the Ghastly Gorge.
"Their right there!" Twilight points out at the rock mountain and they all followed.
"ARGH!" Sonic yelled out as he tried to grab the chaos emerald, "Come on!"
The barrier broken and Twilight then stopped.
"Twilight? What happened?" Silver asked.
"I-Its... gone..." Twilight said as she slowly flew down.
This leave the group surprised but Shadow didn't care. He knew that even in this situations Sonic always get out. They waited and then a bright light of green appeared and made the pile of rocks fly upwards. This shocked the group and they saw Sonic carrying Rainbow bridal style. He jumps on to different rocks as he tried to reach the edge. And on his last jump, he tried to grab on but fails luckily Applejack was fast enough to grab Sonic's hand and more help him to get up.
"You guys are alright!" Silver said in relief.
"Oh thank Celestia..." Rarity said as she wipe off her tears.
"How did you guys survive that?" Pinkie said in her surprise.
"Heh, with Twilight's magic and a little something... hey Shadow!" Sonic yelled out as Shadow's sense noticed him and Sonic tossed the chaos emerald to Shadow.
Shadow caught it and made him surprised, "Yo-You found the chaos emerald."
"Not me... Rainbow did." Sonic said as Rainbow then slightly opened her eyes.
"W-Wait.. what happened?" Rainbow said as she looked around seeing Sonic.
"Sonic saved you sugarcube, weren't for him you never lived." Applejack said with her wiping her tears off.
"Really?" Rainbow said and looked at Sonic's eyes.
She couldn't help the fear of dying she hugged Sonic.
"Thank you Sonic..." Rainbow whispered to Sonic.
"H-Hey don't thank just me... Twilight's magic did help out." Sonic said as Rainbow then looked at Twilight.
"Thank you too Twilight!" Rainbow said as she hugged her.
"Hehe... I'm glad you're both safe Rainbow Dash." Twilight said though after seeing Rainbow hugged Sonic, she felt different kind of feeling... "What was that...?"
Author: Well, what a chapter. So Rainbow challenged the blue blur only ending up into a disaster. But what is the meaning of Twilight's feeling. Will this change something that happens everyday? The answers will come sooner in the story. And I'd like to thank you for the review. First of all I appreciate the guest who talked about Tirek's part in the story, and of course I'll add him, and about the crossover characters, I've notice that there aren't fanfics who writes them trio, and I am a big fan of the trio. Soo, thanks for that. And also for the famous SonDash and ShadTwi... won't happen. Sorry for that.
Author: And that's all for me! Moonlight here... signing out! (^-^)/
