Author: Hey, sorry I don't update quite usual. I'm having a tough time dealing with life, and tbh I do feel bit sick. Due to my lack of time sleeping just so I can update my story reason for me to unable to make it early before bed is because I do other important stuffs. Even though this is just a one story, I'm really precautious of making another story or the EG movie while this is continuing. So I'll be careful with my health but by that, I won't be posting normally. Sorry, anyways, lets continue on with the story.
Author: Right now, the trio have gotten stronger a bit. But that's not all, with the discovery of Sonic having magic, it became a major shocker for the group. Not to mention the girls are having a mysterious feelings towards the hedgehogs. Let's find it out before continuing on.
Chapter 9: More Questions, Need Answers!
After the event that happened on yesterday with the training. The gang meets up at Twilight's house/ library. In order to talk about various things and the preparation for the chaos emerald hunt. The trio hedgehogs where up stairs where they have their own privacy talk and so does the girls have their own. Sonic showed to Silver and Shadow that his hands are glowing in a blue aura.
"No kidding. You do have magic." Shadow said as he inspects Sonic's hand, "Not to mention, my senses telling me that you have almost the same energy as Twilight's" Shadow added.
"Looks like you have your unique ability now." Silver said making Sonic surprised to hear that.
"What are you talking about? Isn't my speed is considered as an unique ability?" Sonic wondered.
"No, because I can catch up to you." Shadow said.
"Well, what I'm trying to say is. Your speed is just natural. It's not the same as ours. I have psychokinesis and Shadow has his chaos attributes." Silver explained.
"Don't you dare defy my speed as a normal thing." Sonic said trying to prove his speed is unique.
"It may. But Tails can also catch up to you, and so does Amy." Shadow said.
"Argh, how annoying can you be anyway?" Sonic questioned Shadow though he just got a reply with a silent treatment.
"Hmm, although having magic isn't that bad. Can you do what Twilight and Rarity can do?" Silver thought of it.
"The levitating thing like you do? Sure." Sonic nods and he point his palm at an object.
His hand glowed and covered with blue aura. Slowly, the object that his hands pointing at glowed aswell accordingly. He raised it slowly and so does the object. This made Silver impressed and for Shadow, it's a normal thing.
"It works." Sonic said.
"It did." Silver backing up Sonic.
"Hmph, congrats, your now the magical hedgehog that will be the first one to turn into an anthropony." Shadow said making Sonic shocked.
"W-What? That can't be right? Well, it will be pretty cool and all but with hoofs like them, it will be way too difficult to run. Tell me Silver will it?" Sonic looked and asked Silver.
"Why ask me? But... I guess, that won't happen. I mean, if it's gonna alter our bodies, shouldn't we also have magic by now?" Silver thought of it and Shadow then thought aswell.
"Maybe we don't have to gain magic just to change forms." Shadow thought of it.
The trio put their fingers in their chin and brainstorm the possibilities and reasons. While the boys were minding their own business, let's go and see the girls which are talking about their day.
"So, yeah, sorry about the explosions that happened on the mean time." Twilight said as she laugh nervously.
"Thank heavens that it was just you and Sonic darling. Silver and I were frighten about the sounds and everything." Rarity said and sighed in relief.
"But, Silver didn't care about the explosions." Fluttershy said though she hates to admit it.
"What are you talking about Fluttershy darling?" Rarity then wondered about it.
"Um, I was... there?" Fluttershy questioned knowing that Rarity must've remembered.
"I certainly didn't see you Fluttershy." Rarity lying at her dear friend, though Applejack is just chuckling and shaking her head as she knew that Rarity is lying.
"Really? Maybe you just go busy and forget about what happened. Oh and Silver did have a hard time to recover. I tried to take care of him but Rarit-" Fluttershy was a cutoff by Rarity as she asked Pinkie Pie.
"So Pinkie Pie, I do heard you like Shadow?" Those words made Applejack startle and slowly looked at Pinkie whose just calmly smiling.
"Uh, duh, of course I like him." Pinkie replied though it feels like she doesn't know what Rarity is talking about.
"Silly Pinkie, I mean, if you do like like Shadow." Rarity corrects it and slowly Pinkie realize this and pink blushes appeared in her cheeks.
She swayed her head away from the girls to try and hide the facts, "L-Like like? You mean like a crush? Pfft, no way! I am just a good friend to Shadow tha-thats all." She finished with a slight of nervous smile.
"Oh my Celestia. Girls Pinkie has a crush on Shadow!" Rarity said as this made the other girls shocked.
"No way! You have a crush on Shadow Pinkie?" Rainbow questions Pinkie making her blushed more.
"S-Stop it Rainbow I do not!" Pinkie laughingly said so.
"You know you can't hide through the facts Pinkie." Twilight teased her more.
"It's odd, but it is pretty nice for you two to be together." Fluttershy added.
"Girls, please stop it hahaha!" Pinkie tried to get away for the actual reason but she can't handle the teasing and her words finally blow out, "Alright fine! I do have a crush on Shadow..."
The girls were all like fangirling or something, except for one. Applejack, who is quietly sitting on her place. She just puts her hands on her arms trying to hide the fact she does have the same feeling. Her head is looking down and her hat is covering her sad face making her hidden amongst the girls who where busy screaming at Pinkie Pie admitting her feelings. Back to the boys, while they kept on brainstorming they heard the scream of the girls.
"Looks like their in trouble!" Sonic quickly noticed.
"No, they aren't." Though Shadow stopped Sonic's thought.
"What do you mean?" Sonic wondered.
"First of all those screams aren't for danger, those screams are what I call idolize scream." Shadow answered making Sonic and Silver quiet.
"Uhh, what's the difference in there?" Sonic thought of it again.
"The idolize scream is that they admit their feelings and suddenly they screamed like hell for admitting it or something like that." Shadow explains.
"And where did you come up with that?" Silver asks.
"I've been requested to be a bodyguard most of the times. On through-out my experiences, I've differentiate the type of screams." Shadow again explains.
"You have gotta be kidding me." Sonic commented.
"It's the day's work faker." Shadow replied.
"Well, got any news on the chaos emerald Shadow?" Silver asked and Shadow then tell them these visions he saw.
While the boys where talking about the chaos emeralds. Let's go back again since they are done screaming like fangirling and stuff. Applejack did manage to keep her cool and sadness inside her. Since she is the only who can tell the truth, it's best she hides it because if someone asked her the problem. She has to tell the truth and this truth isn't as far as easy to tell.
"Oh yeah? What about you Rainbow Dash? I heard from Scootaloo that you secretly like Sonic." Pinkie said making Rarity and Fluttershy smiles and slowly fangirling again deep inside, but this time, Twilight got startled.
"Woah Woah! Okay first of all not cool! Second, I don't have feelings for Sonic!" Rainbow quickly trying to dodge the statement.
"Hah! You see? You can't hide to the truth! How about we let AJ figure it out?" Pinkie looked at Applejack whose seemingly out of place.
"Uhm? Applejack?" Rainbow flew through her and waved her hands near to her face.
"Huh? Wah?" Applejack then regained herself.
"You okay Applejack?" Twilight wondered as her startle disappears and became worried for her friend.
"Oh y-yeah, I-I'm fine. I need to get back to the barn, I still have alot of trees to replant since Shadow had his training heh..." Applejack said as she stood up and walks away.
"Are you sure you're alright AJ dear?" Rarity questioned her.
"Yeah I'm fine. Maybe some other time fellers." Applejack said as she looked away and opened the door. As soon it closes, she lowers her hat and walked away.
From the window above, Shadow was talking about the chaos emeralds, but in his short glance, he saw Applejack was walking away unknowingly she is alone.
"Hey Shadow? You alright? You seemed like to see a ghost." Sonic said as he snaps his fingers near to his face.
"ARgh! Don't distract me faker. I was at the point to tell the second one." Shadow said though Sonic and Silver gave Shadow a puzzled look.
"But uh, you just looked at someone else from the window." Silver said and Shadow did realized that.
He came up with an idea to forget what happened and said, "No, I just sensed something from outside."
"Is it the energy from the other chaos emeralds?" Sonic thought of it and Shadow shake his head.
"No. It's something, I can't describe..." Shadow said though he did felt something. Something from Applejack, "Sadness of some sorts..." He said in his thoughts.
"I thought it would be the chaos emeralds, but what about the second one Shadow got anything?" Sonic thought of it.
"Hmm, after the first vision I saw from the chaos emerald is a total blank. Thanks to the second one, I think I finally got it." Shadow said as he crossed his arms and closed his eyes.
"What is it?" Silver asks.
"It's a shape of a baby dragon, and there is only one who could've used it." Shadow said as he opened his eyes.
"Spike!" Sonic and Silver said both at the same time.
Shadow nodded, "Yes, and I believe that the first one that came from my vision on the first chaos emerald is..."
"Rainbow Dash." Sonic finishes.
"That's right." Shadow said.
"What does could that possibly mean?" Silver wondered.
"I don't know. But I have a theory that sooner or later, who ever touches the chaos emerald, it might alter some of his/her thoughts into it making me visualize the one who activates it. But the one who I visualize is the thing I'm curious at." Shadow said as Silver and Sonic put their fingers in their chins again.
"I guess it is then. We need to ask the girls for help in our hunt for the chaos emeralds." Sonic suggested with Shadow and Silver agreeing.
"But we do need to make sure that they have all spare time. Considering that we can't let no body left behind or they might feel left out or something." Silver added.
"Fine, but they need to decide about it sooner because those chaos emeralds are too dangerous in this world." Shadow said with Sonic and Silver nodding.
With their conversation is done. They heard a scream again that was heard in the bottom floor.
"That's an idolize scream is it?" Sonic thought.
Shadow sighed, "Yes. Yes it is."
Back to the girls before they screamed. With Applejack leaved the girls silent, they wouldn't know if Rainbow Dash is totally hiding her feelings or not.
"What could have happen to Applejack?" Twilight wondered.
"I don't know, maybe I should check her out!" Rainbow quickly suggested as she tried to run away but Rarity used a rope to tie her tail quick enough, "Hey! What gives!"
"You're trying to escape Rainbow Dash dear, you still need to admit it like Pinkie did." Rarity said as they tried to tease her more.
"Oh yeah? What about you Rarity? I'm sure you don't mind Silver sleeping with Fluttershy aren't you?" Rainbow quickly questions that as it made Rarity and Fluttershy blushed at the same time.
This surprised Twilight, Rainbow, and Pinkie.
"No." Twilight said.
"Way." And Rainbow continues.
"It is!" But Pinkie decides to end it all.
"You both have feelings for Silver?!" Twilight exclaimed.
"And you both didn't know?!" Rainbow adds it up.
"And you two even teased me for Shadow?!" Pinkie said it though, it doesn't seem to connect to at all.
"O-Of course not darlings! I am not sure if I do actually have feelings for Silver." Rarity said trying to hide the facts.
"So you're saying that you do have feelings for Silver, just unsure the truth that you love him?" Rainbow said causing Rarity to blush even harder.
"What about you Fluttershy?" Twilight asks.
"I-I-I... Yes... I do have a crush on Silver..." Fluttershy admits it which is a big surprise to the three girls teasing the two making them scream again.
Rarity was in shock that she was right about her thought that Fluttershy liked Silver. But does mean to her? Her emotion towards Fluttershy became a some sort of challenge but it is quite hard to tell.
"But if there is only one anthropony would tell her crush, what about you Twilight? I know that Sonic has been sleeping in your house. What does it feel like?" Fluttershy asked Twilight in shock for the other girls to her.
Twilight then begins to blush aswell, but slightly, "W-What do you mean?"
"Of course darling, you two have been here together, what does it feel like?" Rarity continued to tease Twilight.
Twilight could feel the tension rising as she doesn't want to admit it nor she fully understands the situation she's in with Sonic. Not to mention that she knew Rainbow has feelings for Sonic aswell. Her face begin to sweat alot and the tension is kept on rising.
"W-What is this Twilight? Why do I feel like I'm on edge of the cliff and this heart beat... what does even mean?! Oh sweet Celestia, what have I gone myself into? Sonic was just a friend right? Nothing more! Nothing more!" Twilight kept saying it to her head until someone asked again.
"Well Twilight?" Pinkie asked making Twilight's heart go much faster than it could ever be.
Rainbow was kinda silent as she feels jealousy that Sonic is sleeping with Twilight, but in order to make it sure, she wants to hear what she could possibly say if Twilight does have feelings or anything for Sonic.
"I-I..." Twilight was about to admit it until they heard a knock from the door.
Rarity stood up and sighed to opened the door. As she opened the door, she looked around outside to see who knocks.
"Ra-Rarity! H-Hi! Didn't se-see you coming today here.." Spike said below Rarity.
"Oh Spike didn't see you there." Rarity said as she looked below her.
"Hehe... yeah..." Spike said as she just stared at Rarity and started to daydream.
While that continued on. The three hedgehogs went downstairs now.
"Oh sweet, Spike's here." Sonic said as he walked to Rarity.
Twilight sighed in a huge relief that those distractions made the question ended. And looks like, Rainbow, Pinkie, and Fluttershy did also got distracted from the three hedgehogs that they do like. Unknown for Twilight about Rainbow Dash if she does like Sonic but you guys probably know about that.
"Sonic, looks like you're looking for Spike." Rarity said as she walks away from the front door.
Sonic then came out and noticed that Spike is still daydreaming.
"Hey. Hey Spike. Come on buddy." Sonic said while he is snapping his fingers.
"Hey, huh, what?" Spike then came back to himself.
"Come on, I need the ingredients for dinner." Sonic said as Spike then also realized about that.
"Oh yeah! Here you go Sonic." Spike said giving Sonic some materials that he just bought around.
Sonic then walked back inside with Spike along with him. Shadow and Silver looked at Sonic whose carrying some items.
"Faker, what the hell are those?" Shadow wondered pointing at the ingredient looking.
"Well, it's our dinner, and also I do wanna learn some magic stuff now that I have some magic. You guys go ahead and explain to the girls about the plan." Sonic said as he walked to the kitchen while Spike then just stared at Rarity from the view with his eyes turned into hearts.
"What plan?" Twilight got curious.
"I'm sure that you girls knew about the chaos emeralds that we need to collect. Sonic, Silver, and I decided to make a team to look for the chaos emeralds alot faster." Shadow said making Twilight curious at the same time, sorta worried.
"But the thing is, we need to make sure you girls have a spare time to deal it. We just don't want to rush things out." Silver added.
"W-Well, I-I'll try to make sure that Si- I mean, Angel has a good food prepared for him before I leave." Fluttershy said with her blush getting bigger and brighter.
"And I need to check if I don't have any Sha...Sha... shawing to do for the time." Pinkie said with a nervous smile.
"You mean showing? Like if you need to be present at work?" Silver thought of and Pinkie nodded.
"I need also to train my wings. Just so I can be ready for anything." Rainbow said as she stretches her wings.
"Looks like most of us are ready." Twilight said.
"We'll talk about more of the expedition once everyone is free." Shadow said.
Pinkie slowly walked to Shadow, "H-Hey Shadow? Wo-wouldn't you mind to come at my place to hangout and sleep sometime?"
The girls then was surprised seeing Pinkie making the move but...
"I'm sorry Pinkie, but I need to explain first Applejack the plan. Not to mention, I have my place of peace there. But, I'll see if I have the time." Shadow said as he walks away and leave.
Pinkie was sad a bit but it made her very very happy with Shadow saying that if he has the time. She quickly turned at the girls with a giddy smile. The girls just smiled and some gave her a thumbs up from the success and she then leaves Twilight home. Sooner or later, the others decided to leave and Silver was decided to sleep at Rarity again despite that Silver is still recovering and he doesn't want to get disturbed by the animals. It made Fluttershy sad, but Silver's reasons made her understand it. Rainbow then leaves the house making a normal day for Twilight's residence.
Sonic manage to fell asleep with his 'studies' on magic that he focusing most of it. Spike just fell asleep like he used to. Twilight was the only one who is awake. She saw Sonic sleeping quietly in the desk. She looked at him and blushed with her heart beating fast again. She shake her head and levitated Sonic to a couch to make him sleep much better position. Twilight then carried a blanket and covered Sonic with it. For some reason, she wanted to use her hands instead of magic to pull it up. But as she finishes covering Sonic in his blanket... she heard something.
"Thanks... Twilight Sparkle..." Sonic quietly whispered.
Twilight heard this and blushed, she also smiled as she accompanies Sonic.
"I don't know what I do feel for you Sonic... I don't understand why my heart is beating fast when I think of you or they mention your name... I keep on making more questions to myself that I want to get the answers from... What is this feeling exactly..." Twilight said in her thought as she clenched her hand on her chest.
