Chapter 21: This Isn't A Date
A lot of the anthroponies are gathered at the town square of Ponyville. Within the area, there is alot of party themed decorations being held up. Silver is putting up streamers with the help from Twilight and other unicorns. Rarity is with Pinkie Pie making and decorating the balloons. Shadow is just setting up chairs with a help from Applejack. Sonic is running around putting up the linen cloth for the tables and chairs. Rainbow Dash is working at the clouds making sure that it won't be cloudy. Lastly, Fluttershy is helping the others in their other plans.
Sonic is setting up pretty fast that he manage to reach Shadow who is still setting up more of the chairs. Sonic then waits for more as he taps the floor impatiently.
"Can it be any more faster, Shadow?" Sonic questions the normal looking hedgehog.
Shadow didn't reply, but rather stare at Sonic for a few seconds before he went back to his work. Sonic then became more impatient, as he then thinks of an idea to make things quick.
"Want a challange Shadow?" Sonic said as a grin formed in his face.
Shadow stopped setting up and looked at Sonic with a raised eyebrow, "A challange? Don't be a fool faker." Shadow said as he went back to his work.
"Oh? What's wrong? The 'Ultimate Lifeform' can't handle a challenge?" Sonic said to which made Shadow annoyed.
"Alright, what's the challenge?" Shadow said as deadly glare at Sonic.
"The challenge is, you can't let me reach your table." Sonic said as to which Shadow glared even more.
"Fine." Shadow said as he starts to set more and faster than before.
"W-Woah!" Sonic got surprised as Shadow starts to throw the chairs and tables in a perfect area and position, "You're so on!" Sonic said before he dash and grabbed more clothes.
The girls and Silver are watching Shadow and Sonic setting up the tables while setting up the linen.
"H-Hey! Don't be too fast Sonic! You too Shadow!" Twilight yelled out.
Silver sighed, "Well, there goes two, but don't worry, I'm sure Sonic challenged Shadow. I'm pretty sure Shadow won't make a single mistake here." Silver said as he smiled at them.
"You mean Shadow only? But what about Sonic?" Pinkie Pie questions about it.
"Oh... umm, for Sonic? I may think that he might trip over something." Silver said as the girls became wary of it.
The other anthroponies became distracted at the wind being formed around from Sonic and Shadow.
"U-umm... isn't there too much tables and chairs...?" Fluttershy wondered about it.
Upon noticing of the girls, they started to think of it as well, "Sonic! Shadow! That's enough, you guys put too much tables!" Silver shouted but they couldn't hear them.
"Woah! What's going on here?" Rainbow Dash said as she is flying down.
"Let's say that Sonic and Shadow are havin a challenge or somethin." Applejack said as she crossed her arms.
"More like a chaos is brewing up, say Twilight, can you help me a bit here?" Silver said as Twilight nodded at this.
The two focus their magic, Twilight's horn glowed and Silver's hands glowed as well. Both of them point their hands at the two and the glow slightly grew. As the two were just racing their way, both of them float.
"W-Woah!" Sonic was surprised that it happened to him,
"Hmph." As for Shadow, he just crossed his arms.
"Both of you, stop this at once." Twilight said as both of them slowly floating down.
"Alright alright, we uhh might have take it a little too serious." Sonic said as he scratches his head.
"Little, huh?" Silver said as Sonic noticed that the other girls also glaring at him.
"Hehe, alright, maybe way too serious, it's just that Shadow here is taking a while to set things up." Sonic said as he tries to make an excuse.
"You were impatient faker." Shadow said trying to side at Silver.
"Seriously..." Sonic said as he looked annoyed at Shadow.
"But hey, atleast you guys finished it more quicker. That way, you could help out more." Rainbow Dash said as she approached and brofist with Sonic which Sonic replies to it.
After realizing what Rainbow said, Twilight was quiet about that which she felt of sorry for almost yelling at him.
"Well, if you say so. Say, Twilight." Sonic said as he looked at her, "Got any more to decorate?"
Sonic's voice made Twilight smile for some reason, "Well, I guess you could help out with the balloons. I mean, Pinkie is having a hard time tying them." Twilight mentions which they looked at Pinkie as she is having a hard time.
"Maybe here? No... or was it like this.." She said though the balloon that she was tying up flew but Rainbow caught it.
"Huh, it seems that Pinkie knows how to tie up balloons on herself but not on other things. Weird." Sonic said though someone is already approaching her.
"Fluttershy?" Twilight wondered.
"Oh, I would like to help Pinkie with it." Fluttershy said which Twilight just nodded to it.
"Well, it might be great if we help out huh Rarity?" Silver said as he winks at Rarity.
After knowing what Silver is intended too, Rarity smiled nodded, "Yes, it would be a great help." She said as she followed Silver.
"Well, I have to get the food back from our farm. Care to help Shads?" Applejack said as she starts to walk away with Shadow following her.
"Hmph. Very well, and don't call me 'Shads'." Shadow said while following Applejack.
"U-Um, Rarity what about the streamers?" Twilight said as she tried to catch up to Rarity.
"Oh Twilight darling, don't be silly, you have Rainbow Dash and Sonic there with you. Besides, Sonic can use levitation magic can he?" Rarity said walking away leaving Twilight stunned.
"Right..." Twilight said in her thought as she walks to RD and Sonic which they're just waiting for her orders.
"Well, I guess you both could help me out on setting up the streamers." Twilight said as Sonic and Rainbow Dash high-five each other.
"Alright. Another challenge is brewing up." Sonic said as he stretches his legs.
"Yep. The one who sets the most wins." Rainbow said as she stretches her wings.
"Hold on, you too. There can't be a race happening again on this party. Not to mention, we need to follow exactly what Rarity have did." Twilight said as she points out the design that she means.
"Aw, but that's boring, and might take time as well." Rainbow said though a pegasus flew towards her.
"Rainbow Dash, we need your help. The clouds that we just pushed away are slowing getting back. It seems that the wind is moving on a one direction." The pegasus said which it annoyed Rainbow Dash losing her chance.
"Seriously? Can't you guys, I don't know, push the clouds in the way the wind goes?" Rainbow annoyingly suggested.
"I'm afraid we can't... you see, it's not just normal clouds we are pushing, but rather thunderclouds. I know for a fact that you're the only one who could push them Rainbow." The pegasus said which Rainbow sighed at defeat.
"It's weird that I'm the only one who could push them. But no worries, this will over quick." Rainbow said as she starts to follow the pegasus, but not too far, she stopped and looked at Sonic, "Don't start without me alright?" She said.
"Well, it's best if you hurry up rather telling me to wait. You know how I hate to wait, right?" Sonic said as he gives a thumbs up.
Rainbow Dash chuckles and follows the pegasus.
"Well, there she goes." Sonic said as he watches Rainbow Dash.
Twilight is just standing there not knowing Sonic is waving his hand infront of her.
"Rainbow and Sonic... are they what I think they are...?" Twilight thought though she starts to hear a voice.
"Yo, earth to Twilight. Hey Twilightt... Twilight?" Sonic said as he kept waving his hand in her face, he then sighed and tries to whisper in her ear, "Hello? Hey, Twii.." Sonic said which made Twilight jumped and slaps Sonic.
Sonic was knocked out for a sec and jumps back up, and he placed his hands on the part where he got slap at, "Woah! Take easy, Twilight." Sonic said as he lightly laughs at it.
"O-Oh my! I-I-I'm..." Twilight couldn't speak and so Sonic just approach her.
"Well, that's alright, I mean we still need to finish these right?" Sonic asks with Twilight nodded in that idea.
"Yeah. We can't celebrate Mayor Mare's birthday if we don't hung up the streamers." Twilight said as she starts to get back on her nerves.
"Then let's get started." Sonic said as he grabbed some streamers and Twilight teach Sonic how do it.
Little do they know, Silver and Rarity were watching them.
"Look at them, they're too perfect for one another huh?" Silver said as he is tying the balloons on to a pole.
"They're cute, and it's good thing that you set up a plan to put Rainbow away." Rarity said as Silver smirks at it.
"Well, nothing like a good trick that only Rainbow could move the clouds." Silver said as he smiled at Rarity and then looked at the two.
"This is nice. Twilight is having someone that would make her life complete." Rarity said with a smile on her face.
"Complete? What do you mean?" Silver stops working and got curious.
"As far I'm concern, Twilight darling as been challenged most of time here on Ponyville. I did remember her first time being here. It wasn't easy, but to fair. She adapts pretty well." Rarity said as she looked down with a smile.
Silver was about to say something until Rarity looked at him, "Hey." She said, "I've heard that Mayor Mare wants to see some people dance on the dance floor. You wanna dance with me darling?" Rarity asked confidently.
Silver was surprised at first but it didn't get him, "Of course, that will be amazing." Silver said as he smiles.
"Thank you." She said as she starts to work again.
Silver looked at her, he felt something that bothers him. Something that made him worried, "This isn't a date is it?" He shake his head and continue on with his. Fluttershy overheard the their conversation, she held her chest but smiles.
"I know I've looked up to you. But seeing you two get along, I guess it's time for me to let go." She said with a tear coming out.
