Sonic and Rainbow collided with equal force, sending them backwards. Both recovered from the shock before charging at full speed towards each other once more only to be stopped by Tails and Twilight.

"Hold it Sonic!"

"Hold it Rainbow Dash!"

Both fighters froze and turned to their friends with slight annoyance.

"Oh C'mon Tails! I was about to turn this horse into glue!"

"Really Twilight? I could've creamed this guy!"

Twilight Sparkle stepped forward and stared at the two. "Fighting isn't gonna solve ANYTHING!" she turned to Rainbow Dash. "Sonic isn't our enemy. Tails told me everything about him. If anything, he belongs on OUR side!" she reassured before turning to Sonic. "Sorry about Dashie. She's kinda quick to picking fights and whatnot." she apologized.

The blue hedgehog nodded and rubbed his nose with a finger. "Hm. No problem I guess." he said before looking back to the light-blue pegasus. "So...Rainbow Dash was it? I'll admit, you're pretty fast AND you put up one heck of a good fight." he commented.

Rainbow landed, looking back at Sonic. "You're not too bad yourself, Sonic the Hedgehog. I thought I was the only fast one." she replied.

Sonic smiled. "Just call me Sonic. So uh...how about we start over?" he asked before extending his gloved hand.

Rainbow paused for a bit before nodding and giving Sonic a hoof bump. "Sure thing."

Tails smiled as he walked over to the blue hedgehog. "Sonic, meet Twilight Sparkle. Thanks to her, I've managed to readjust my handheld. Now I'm getting all sorts of useful stuff! Actually, she's a bit of a brainiac just like me!" he chuckled.

Sonic gave a thumbs up. "Sweet! So now that your handheld's back up, mind shedding some light as to where we are?" he asked.

The two-tailed fox nodded and turned his device, bringing up a map of the land. "According to the new data I put in, we're in….the Equine dimension but let's just call it Equestria." he said.

Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow. "So you two really aren't from around here. Then again, it's pretty obvious just by looking at ya."

Sonic sweatdropped with an annoyed look. "She's not very bright is she?" he whispered to Twilight.

The lavender Unicorn was about to answer before familiar voices filled her ears. She turned around and was greeted with the sight of her 5 best friends rushing over in concern.

"Twilight! You heard those loud booms a few minutes ago too right?" Applejack asked.

Rarity had a more angrier look on her face. "I was at home working on my latest ensemble when those explosive sounds literally rattled the place! Now look at the damage it did!" she exclaimed before levitating a dress in front of Twilight. A small but noticeable tear could be seen on the back part.

Sonic sweatdropped again. "Geez. It's just a little rip. I'm sure some stitches or something can fix that!" he assured.

Rarity quickly turned to Sonic and glared. "Just a little rip…?" she asked before darting over. "JUST A LITTLE RIP?!" she yelled.

Sonic nearly fell backwards from surprise.

Rarity was about to snap at the blue hedgehog until Pinkie Pie quickly rushed over in curiosity and excitement. "Hey! What are you supposed to be? You don't look like a pony!" she said, getting extremely close to Sonic.

"Erm...No. I'm not a pony. I'm Sonic the Hedgehog." he clarified.

Fluttershy blinked. "A-A hedgehog? You don't look like one...atleast not one I've seen before." she timidly said.

Twilight gave a slight chuckle. "That's because he along with Tails here aren't from our dimension." she explained.

Applejack had a look of confusion. "Another dimension? So like...another world?" she asked.

Sonic shrugged. "Something like that."

As the sun began to set later that day, Sonic and Tails both followed Twilight Sparkle home to the Golden Oak Library.

"Thanks for letting us stay the night Twilight." Tails happily said.

The purple unicorn smiled with a nod. "No problem. I'm actually interested to learn more about you two and your dimension!" she said.

Sonic sweatdropped. "Wow. I don't think I've ever met anyone who just thinks about studying all the time! Ever heard of living life to the fullest?" he asked.

Twilight shot an annoyed look at the spiky hero. "I am living life to the fullest. Reading books and absorbing knowledge has helped me a lot. I don't see how running all the time solves anything." she said.

Sonic grinned. "That's cause you haven't seen me at full force! Watch this!" he said before taking off towards a dead tree.

Sonic jumped high into the air and immediately curled into a spiky ball before beginning to spin very fast. As he reached the peak of his jump, the blue hedgehog aimed his body at the trunk of the tree. Right before coming down, his body spun even faster, causing the friction in the air around him to shoot him forward in the blink of an eye! Sonic ripped right through the trunk, causing the tree to fall over.

Twilight stared in amazement, mouth agape.

Sonic zipped back over to the two with a hot-headed grin. "Think THAT was cool? That's just ONE move I know!" he boasted.

Tails rolled his eyes. "Don't you ever get tired of showing off?" he asked.

Sonic frowned. "What? I can't help it!" he answered.

Twilight stepped in between the two. "Ok guys! Isn't it about time for bed? Didn't you challenge Rainbow Dash to a race tomorrow, Sonic?" she asked.

Sonic nodded. "Definately! I wanna see if she can keep up with me!"

Twilight nodded back. "Then lets head inside for a good-night's rest! Tomorrow's an important day anyway!" she said.

And with that, Sonic, Tails, and Twilight headed inside for sleep. Tomorrow would be big.
