The next day, Shining Armour was walking in the hallways, stopping when he saw Sonic. "Hello Sonic."
"Hey," said Sonic, casually.
"Um, could you do me a favour?" Shining Armour asked.
"Go ahead."
"Princess Celestia has asked Twilight to go into Ponyville to find friends, and I was wondering if you could keep an eye on her?"
"Sure, say, why do they call it Ponyville anyway? We're humans, not ponies. What? Is there an alternate dimension or something?"
"No," said Tails. "They called it that because it's their national animal,"
"Oh." said Sonic, smiling sheepishly because he felt a bit dumb.
"Anyway, let's go." said Tails.
Sonic and Tails left the castle.
"I'll get us there in a jiffy, we don't need a train!" said Sonic, grinning, then in seconds, he dashed himself and Tails to Ponyville.
"Right..let's find Twilight." Sonic muttered.
"Found her." Tails said, going up to Twilight.
"Hello there," Twilight said.
"Shining Armour wanted us to keep an eye on you," said Sonic.
Twilight rolled her eyes. "Fine..."
She sighed and shaked her head slowly.
"Right, Celestia wants me to get food first, from..Applejack." Twilight explained.
"Let's go," said Sonic.
"Say, Sonic? Where's Shadow?" asked Tails.
"He's training with Espio at the moment, he'll be back in any minute." said Sonic.
Shadow suddenly flashed, and he was standing next to them, along with another robot.
"Ah!" Twilight said, jumping. "Who are you?!"
"I'm Shadow.." he said, blankly.
"I AM E-123 OMEGA." said the robot.
Twilight sighed. "How many people did you meet these last 6 years!?"
Sonic smirked. "A lot."
"Let's go now." said Twilight, interrupting.
They walked to Sweet Apple Acres, where they had to get the food.
"YEE-HAW!"
"Ya' can't catch me, Bunnie!"
"Oh yeah!? Then how bout' this! I just got ya, Applejack!"
"Ah will still be the better apple bucker, ya know that."
"Yeah..but Ah'm faster!"
Twilight sighed and went to Applejack.
"Good afternoon, my name is Twilight Sparkle." she said.
"Well, howdy doo Miss Twilight!" Applejack said."It's a pleasure to meet ya, Ah'm Applejack."
"Howdy, Miss Twilight." said Bunnie. "And ah'm Bunnie, Ah'm Applejack's older sister."
"Ya always gotta mentiont that, don't ya?" said Applejack, chuckling. "Say..are ya...Sonic? The Prince Sonic?"
"Yeah," said Sonic, hoping they didn't know or wouldn't bring up the fact he ran away.
"So why'd ya here?" asked Bunnie, smiling.
"I am here to supervise the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration, and your in charge of the food?" said Twilight.
"We sure as sugar are!" said Applejack and Bunnie in unison.
Bunnie smiled, holding up her right arm, the strange thing was, it was metal and wires, this obviously had them all confused, no one spoke about it, except for Omega.
"I SEE YOU HAVE A METAL ARM AS I HAVE." Omega said.
Shadow stayed perfectly silent.
"Ah yes, ah know. Ah kinda got into a fight with Eggman and...he kinda robotcized my arm." Bunnie explained.
"Yikes." said Sonic.
"Ah know, dark." said Bunnie.
"I can see this food situation is handled, I must go." said Twilight. "Come on, Sonic!"
They then left Sweet Apple Acres, but while walking through Ponyville, they went into Sugarcube Corner, as there was two people who were in charge of desserts and desserts only. How they got that Twilight didn't know.
"Hello..?" said Twilight, entering.
"Do you even think someone's here...?" Shadow asked, emotionless.
"HI THERE!" said a girl, hanging upside down, her puffy, hot pink hair bouncing.
"Hi!" said a girl, walking through the doorway.
"Um, hello." said Twilight.
"I'm Pinkie Pie and this is my sister Amy!" Pinkie said, quickly.
Amy waved, cheerfully grinning as Twilight cleared her throat. "I'm Twilight, Twilight Sparkle."
"I suppose you came to check on the desserts? Right?" said Amy.
"Y-yeah." said Sonic.
"Well, they're just fine, I'll give you a quick sample if you like." said Amy.
"Um, alright. If it doesn't take too long." Twilight said.
Amy picked up pink cupcakes, Shadow wouldn't have one.
Twilight smiled. "These are really good!"
"Thank you, me and my sister made them." said Amy.
"I'm glad you like them!" squealed Pinkie, cheerfully.
Shadow rolled his eyes, bored.
"He's not a very happy camper..." whispered Pinkie.
Outside, Twilight remarked. "Well, this Rainbow Dash person hasn't done a good job at clearing the skies.."
"Excuse me!?" said a voice, a girl with blue wings floated down, her hair was rainbow-coloured. Then another girl, with purple hair, riding a blue tech bike.
"If your so good, you try it!" said the girl with the purple hair.
"No need to defend me, Mina." said Rainbow Dash, the two high-fived.
"We're sisters," said Mina.
The two fist-bumped. "YEAH!" they shouted.
"We're doing fine!" Mina said, shooing them away.
"Fine, show me how long it takes for you to clear the skies." Twilight challenged.
"Okay!" said Rainbow Dash and Mina in unison.
Rainbow Dash cleared the skies alone in 10 seconds, so did Mina, together they cleared it in 5 seconds, when they were done, they fist bumped again.
"Let's just go." grumbled Shadow.
Sonic rolled his eyes, but they left.
"Uh..Twilight..?" said Tails.
"Yes?" said Twilight, looking at Tails, Twilight's hair was messy and all over the place now.
"Why is your hair..as messy as that..?" asked Tails, Sonic couldn't help but snigger.
"W-what!?" gasped Twilight, glancing up at her hair, she growled and slapped Sonic, who responded with, "Ow! Jeez what was that for?!"
Twilight smiled smugly. "For laughing at my hair, that's what." she said as Sonic rolled his eyes.
Twilight tried to fix her hair as much as she could, but it was still quite messy. "Anyway, next we have to check on the decorations at Town Hall."
"TOWN HALL IS JUST IN THE CENTRE OF TOWN." said Omega.
"Thank you." said Twilight.
Twilight smiled and they entered City Hall, only to bump into a female with fancy purple hair. She turned to face them.
"Hello darlings!" she said, but then she gasped, as if she was horrified. "What in the name of Canterlot happened to your hair!?"
"Um.." said Twilight, for once not having a response.
"Let me fix it, dear." the female said.
She pulled a hairbrush out of the pocket in her dress, and began to carefully brush Twilight's dark blue locks, until they looked just as good as before, if not better.
"Thank you." Twilight responded.
"Your very welcome, darling!" said the female. "I'm Rarity, and I suppose you've come to check on the decorations-"
Twilight nodded, Rarity did not respond, she was looking at Sonic.
Rarity cleared her throat and curtsied.
"You don't have to do that," Sonic said, casually.
Rarity ignored him, and continued, but then she stood up. "Anyway, yes, Ms..."
"Sparkle."
"Thank you, Ms. Sparkle, the decorations are going just fine.." said Rarity.
"Alright then," said Twilight.
"Hmph." said Shadow.
Rarity folded her arms after Shadow left with the others. "Well, that boy is a bit of grump." Rarity remarked.
Once they left, they were close to the town's library.
"Say, Twilight?" said Tails. "How long is the Summer Sun Celebration from now?"
Twilight thought. "We have to wait till night time,"
"Okay," Tails responded.
