'Ello again, and welcome back to The Pony Parable! Was terribly busy this evening (practicing for a drama production that's coming up in a few weeks) so this chapter is indeed a tad late.

It will have a little twist to it too: What is life like back in Mobius? We'll find out right now, after I answer some reviews :3

A Guy11:Now that I know who you are, I'm not going to listen to your reviews! Mwahaha! :D

Werewolf lover99:I think the entire story will always have humour in it :P

Glimpse the hedgehog and captainawsum9999:Don't get me wrong guys, it was a funny reference but I hate that song as much as you do xD

Back to the story!

So, what had been going on in Mobius? Not much, actually. It had only been a day since the heroes (and Amy) had left Mobius and only a few people had noticed their strange absence, but had took it as a holiday. They never really went on holidays anyways so that was the number one reason. Still, there was a feeling of…emptiness in the air.

"Where do you think Sonic and the others went? Do you think they would have told us? Why are we at Sonics house? Is Sonic your friend? Does he owe you money? Are you ga-"

"OH GOD CREAM I DON'T KNOW!"

Cream and Vector had headed for Sonic and Tails' house. Originally Vector was going to check and see if there was any note they had missed saying where they had gone or what they were going to do, but Cream had begged to come along as there really was nothing to do without any of her friends around. Although when they arrived at the lush green pastureland that was outside Tails' house, there was an edge of uncertainty they couldn't put their finger on.

"I don't know Mr Vector, it looks kind of…uneasy?" Cream said.

"As in, it looks dilapidated? I'm not sure Cream, but there's something el-wait, what's that smell?" Vector said.

They both looked at Tails' modern styled house. It had curved windows and a sleek polyester design which made the entire place reflect the sun. This was good because of Tails' thick and soft fur, which kept in heat all the time.

They both noticed the smell however, and knowing Tails they knew what it was: singed metal. They sighed and knew it was one of Tails' failed experiments. Even brilliant inventors such as Tails had their bad moments and one of them was inside Tails' basement at the moment.

"Well I guess there's only one way we're going to have to find out what it is!" Vector said cheerfully, and jumped straight through Tails' window.

Unfortunately, Vector did not know that Tails had installed mini-turrets to go off if a biological being went through the window. Luckily, Vector had tough skin so the bullets bounced off his thick skin.

Cream groaned, almost in laughter, and jumped through the window frame after the turrets had exhausted their supply.

They both headed downstairs to check on Tails' experiments. Cream tripped up over her feet and crash landed into the basement. What she saw made her gasp in horror.

The basement was in shambles, shelves hanging off their hinges, tools everywhere, iron and tin scraps everywhere and even Tails' Extreme Gear hung off its shelf, dangerously swinging from side to side.

But that wasn't what startled the pair the most: It was the fact that a red substance coated what appeared to be a large container in the middle of the room. It was surrounded by wires, panels, nuts and bolts and assorted other things. The red substance wasn't a liquid, or a solid, or even a gas, although it looked a lot like mist.

"What on EARTH happened here!" Vector shouted. "It looks as if there was a huge explosion!"

"Probably because there was, dummy."

"Whatever," said Vector. "The Chaotix Detective Agency will sort this out, no problem!"

"But meanwhile, we'll need someone who knows a lot about machines…and is almost exactly like Tails…but is there anyone?"

"Apart from Eggman? Well...I don't think so, Cream…" Vector said.

"WAIT! There is!" shouted Cream. "Wave! If only we can reach her somehow…" Cream took a look at the Extreme Gear on Tails' shelf.

"Heh…Hey Vector…any good at driving Extreme Gear?"

dirty joke inbound hang on to your hats

"You know as well I do I suck at riding anything."

Cream had to fight to not collapse with laughter. She calmed down though and the two set off on a quest to try and find Wave the Swallow.

-MEANWHILE, IN EQUESTRIA…-

Sonic eventually came out of his insane spike and went over to Twilights library with Knuckles. Knuckles was introduced to Twilight, and even though Knuckles was still laughing over the Sonic incident, he managed to talk to Tails with a straight face.

"So bud, what do ya think happened to the machine?" Knuckles said.

"Well me and Twilight think that a part of the machine warped under intense heat, so it changed the number of the galaxy we were headed to, sending us to Equestria." Tails stated. "It's confusing, and we won't be back in time for tea, but I guess we can try and fit in, right?"

"Well Tails, what do we actually DO in Equestria? You and your egghead friend can sit around reading books all day and Sonic can just run around like he always does but what am I supposed to do?" Knuckles said with a sigh.

"Well, there's a pony called Applejack who works on a farm. She might need some help!" Tails said. So Tails gave him the directions and Knuckles was off.

"What's up Twilight? You haven't talked in a while." Tails said.

…

…

…

"I AM NOT AN EGGHEAD!"

The unholy roar filled Tails' and Sonic's heads as they were startled and flew back into a bookshelf. Of course, Knuckles had been so dense as to mock a unicorn FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 24 HOURS, and both Tails and Sonic knew that he was going to pay the price for it.

"Calm down Twilight." Tails said putting his hand on her shoulder. "The only living being physically shaped like an egg will be Eggman. You could never be as ugly as that."

Twilight blushed and smiled, completely missing the fact that an egg-head was not a physical trait at all, and Sonic just sat there thinking more dirty thoughts.

BAD SANIK! Oh well. We can't stop him. So anyways, chapter done, enjoy!
