All right, let's settle things down a bit here. You may be disappointed that no action will occur during this chapter…But expect some important character development. This is going to give me a chance to have a little fun!

I got a couple of E-mails about this. Some of you have reported that this fan fiction is a little darker than what you were used to. I understand where you're coming from; there's been blood, death, starvation. I didn't want to take this fan fiction in a childish matter; I wanted to give this story a little edge of maturity. This chapter is going to give everyone a little break, and give me a chance to build on the characters a bit.

Let me give some shout outs.

Guactar: I'm glad someone caught the joke. Let me give you a metaphorical cookie. (You take the cookie…nom-nom-nom-nom-nom-nom!)

StunnerMcTwisty: Thanks for pointing that out. Like I said before, my grammar sucks.

Epic Rainbow 14: I'm typing the next bonus right now…Thanks for the suggestions.

DuskHeart13: Sorry to disappoint you, but the other characters won't be in the fanfic. I mean, common; you're talking about seven or more characters to keep up with! When I started this novel, I wanted to keep Sonic's party small. I can't imagine keeping up with more than twenty characters! Thus, I can't find any roles for the characters I know every reader wants to see, like Blaze or Silver. For me, it's better to work with a few characters and really working with them, than have a whole mess of characters and tie myself in a knot trying to work with all of them.

Oakie dokie…Let's get started!

---

It was early in the morning, the sun has just begun to peak its head over the horizon; covering the earth with a calm orange blanket. In the library, Spike was already up preparing breakfast. It wasn't the usual cheerful morning; this morning was suppressive.

Twilight let out a deep yawn while trotting to the kitchen. Her assistant was walking to one end of the room to another, just about ready to put the food on the table.

"Morning Spike." Twilight greeted, yawning again.

Spike couldn't find it in himself to smile, "…Morning."

It was complete silence, even when Spike served the food on the table, the atmosphere was thick enough to silence anypony. Twilight was too depressed to talk, but pushed it aside to break the barrier.

"I heard Pinkie is throwing a party tonight." She started, trying to lighten the mood.

The dragon took in a deep breath, "After everything that's happened…It's about time Ponyville catches a break."

"Yea…"

The two quietly enjoyed their meal. Twilight had her head resting on her propped hoof, poking the food on her plate with a levitated fork. All was heavy and empty until Tails appeared.

"Morning, guys!" He cheerfully greeted.

Spike looked up and saw Twilight perk her head straight up, slapping herself across the face to knock the depression out of her and shot up from her seat, casually trotting to her one of a lifetime crush. Spike could have been crazy, but he could have sworn that her flanks where pumping with each step.

"Morning Tails," She sweetly greeted him back, tilting her head for maximum cuteness, "Did you sleep well?"

"Um," He scratched the back of his head and gave a weak smile. Twilight loves it when he scratches the back of his head, "Little drowsy, but other than that, I slept great…I can go for some breakfast if you don't mind."

"Of course," She sighed with a warmful smile, "Just wait in the library and give me a moment."

He did as told and retreated back to the reading room. As soon as he was out of sight, Twilight galloped to Spike, who was just about to fix his meal and grabbed his shoulders with her hooves. She eye balled him to keep his attention solely focused on her.

"O.K. Spike, listen closely!" She hissed, "He likes his jelly on one side of the toast and the peanut butter on the other, never mix them together and never put them on the same bread, just one scoop of jelly and just a small cut of peanut butter, when you slice his orange, slice it a little more to the left and slice it again a little to the right, he likes one orange a little bigger than the other, and serve him whole milk, not two percent, and fill it three-quarters, not half-way, not to the brim, but exactly three-quarters!" She sneered at him, "Got that?"

He saluted and got right on it. He has seen her in rage before, and no matter how obscured or detailed her orders are, he'd rather follow them than see mane and tail burst into flames. After several minutes of preparation, he called it done and Twilight called Tails to the kitchen. When the fox took his seat, Twilight immediately took a seat by him, putting on the biggest and cheekiest smile she can put on.

"So…" Twilight began, "Have you read Pony Anatomy, or more specifically page I had marked?"

Tails blushed, "Yea, I-I read it."

"Did you find it…Interesting?"

Although it was an interesting study, Tails was never comfortable about certain parts of any female, "I-I-I guess it is, I never studied it before."

Twilight, for the love of Celestia we're eating! Spike thought.

Much to Spike's relief, they heard a sudden knock on the door.

Who the heck that could be?! Twilight thought, putting on a smile and slowly stood up.

She trotted to the door and answered it by pulling the door in with magic. When she saw who was behind that door, she immediately galloped over and embraced him, "Shining Armor!"

"Twilie!" He greeted, embracing her back.

They held the hug for several more seconds before finally letting go.

"What are you doing over here?" Twilight asked him, "I thought you had duty."

"Princess Celestia decided to give some of her guards and officers a little break after that…Incident" He answered, "We're taking turns right now, and I decided to take my break and visit you."

"That's just wonderful!" She commented with glee, since his promotion, the only opportunity she gets to see him was during hearth's Warming Eve. This is truly a blessing for her and her brother, "Would you like to come in? Breakfast is ready if you're hungry."

He stepped in, casting his eyes around the room to see countless of book stacked against the shelves. It's been a while since he seen a library, and he would have believed that Twilight had the biggest library in Equestia if he didn't live in Canterlot. He followed her to the kitchen; Tails immediately popped his head up when he saw the captain of the Royal Guard totting to the table.

"Hey Tails!" He greeted him, "You're one of Sonic's friends, right?"

"Yep!" Tails answered him with a smile, "Just one of the few!"

It seemed like his visit was enough to lighten everyone's mood, because everyone was smiling during the entire chat.

Sonic was having a crappy morning. When I mean crappy, I mean 'Oh God! Why do I have to live!' kind of morning. It all started when he awoke from the couch, taking a little stroll to the kitchen when the scent of pancakes suffocated his nostrils. The scent of food has always fulfilled its role as an alarm clock since the dawn of man, and will always be until the end of time. Sonic, as well as every other creature in the world, wouldn't have it any other way.

He practically floated himself in a dreamlike state to the table, where Rarity was waiting for him, alone with Sweetie Bell who was already dining at the other end of the table. Everything went on as usual, as soon as Rarity slapped a tall stack of Pancakes in front of him, they begin to chat. By Rarity's standards, gossip about every mare and stallion in the whole freakin' town; no combination of possible relationships went undisguised. Sonic wanted to sway this conversation off topic by bloating how fancy and well-crafted her dresses were. Sonic has learned something during his stay. If you ever want Rarity to sway off topic, just simply comment anything positive about her dresses or career, tune her out, and simply nod at every sentence she speaks. It never failed him. While she was gloating on her 'simply fabulous' dresses and whatever the heck she talks about, Sweetie Bell asked if she ever tried to design dresses for Sonic or any of his buddies…

If Sonic didn't find her so adorably innocent, he would have kicked the little bastard through a window.

…Now there he stood, standing on a wooden stool with his arms stretched out and legs completely stiffed. Rarity was humming a catchy but very annoying tune while levitating a ruler by him, measuring every inch of the body. If Sonic would have so much as move a centimeter, she would start all over; saying that 'measurements has to be completely precise. Perfection is something that must never be rushed'.

He never felt his masculinity threatened so much during that day.

And as if things couldn't get any worst, Dashie decided to take a little break from whether patrol and pay Sonic and Rarity a little visit. When the pegasus saw Sonic standing upright with his arms stretched out, her lips crested into a very big grin and she slowly levitated to him; just inches away from his face.

"…You said something about her clothes, didn't you?" She smirked.

"Help me." He whimpered.

He can only watch as she continued to stare at him with a grin that can top his own. She didn't care to help him, seeing him whimper while his arms and legs began to tire out was too much to pass. Her grin grew until she can barely contain her childish giggles…At that moment, Sonic felt something that sent shivers down his bad.

He almost giggled with her.

He clamped his mouth down, trying to suppress his laughter while at the same time keeping a straight face. She continued to giggle at him, poking a little fun at him and making suggestions to Rarity about his dress. The advice Rainbow was giving her, it's making Sonic want to gag. Why would he wear a miniskirt and a tank top?!

Barely five minutes into this horrible nightmare, and Sonic was already praying to whatever god or gods above for mercy. His arms were beginning to tire out and it became stressful trying to keep still. If his head were to so much as move an inch, she'll start the measurements all over…Perfection can be such a pain in the butt!

He had nothing else to do but glance at Rainbow Dash's face while she continued to giggle and snicker. Sonic noticed that when she smiles, her cheeks fat up. In his opinion, it was the cutest thing he ever saw. And the way her magenta eyes squint when she does smile; it went way off the cute mark in his head. He can feel butterflies fluttering in his stomach again, and he had no choice but to let them flutter as he kept completely still.

"Hey, Sonic," Dash called from below, "Why is your face red?"

When she raised that question, he immediately noticed that his face was heating up. He turned his head away from Dashes direction, but was only met by another scolding from Rarity to keep still. When he faced ahead, he was met by two gentle eyes; eyes that gripped his heart and threaten to pull it away. He never saw such beauty in them.

"What are you thinking about?" She asked him.

Somebody! He thought, turning his eyes away from her, Anybody! Help!

Just then, he heard the door creak open to his left. Still immobile as a rock, he cast his eyes to the door and saw Knuckles walking in. Much to Sonic's relief, Rarity decided to take a break and greet her unknown guess. When she saw who it was, she immediately tensed.

"…Can I help you, sir?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

Knuckles gave her a little grin and began to check out her boutique. Rainbow Dash immediately forgot about Sonic and turned her attention to the two. Poor Rarity, Knuckles has been teasing her just recently…But that doesn't stop Dash from enjoying a good show.

"Oh, nothing." Knuckles answered her with a smirk, "Just thought I might pay a visit. I've never been here before."

"Well, you better behave yourself while you're in my shop," She hissed, "I will not tolerate rude matters in my establishment."

*Burp!*

He innocently covered his mouth while chuckling in a deep tone, "Whoops! That slipped."

He waited for her trademarked expression he came to adore…Sadly, she didn't do it.

"You're excused." She politely said to him, even though she knew it was on purpose.

Rarity sighed in aggravation and continued to work on the trapped hedgehog. Knuckles may have found Sonic playing dress up against his will to be amusing, but it was not what he came for. Rarity continued to measure Sonic, making sure to write everything little thing on paper. All was calm until Knuckles approached her mannequins, which were decorated with fancy clothing. Even if Knuckles thought it was a well-crafted piece of art, he didn't plan on an honest compliment.

"I've seen better." He said out loud.

Knuckles turned around to face Rarity and…There it was! Shrunken pupils and a fake smile to hide her anger! Man! She just made his day!

"That's just your opinion, darling." She answered with a shaky voice, which was on the verge on exploding, "And I must politely ask that you keep your opinions to yourself. It can very hurtful to others."

When she turned around, Knuckles pumped his fist in sweet victory. Rainbow had her body laid back in midair, watching the spectacle as it unfolds. Knuckles calmly made his way to the door…But he wasn't quite satisfied; it felt like he can a little more. While Rarity continued with her, she heard something so offensive that no length of a fuse can prolong.

"MARSHMALLOW!"

Her eyes combust into flames and did a one-eighty, levitating whatever object was around her and charged with a bloody war cry. Knuckles ran out the door, laughing his butt off while jumping several feet in the air. By the time Rarity was outside, Knuckles was long gone.

"I am not a marshmallow!" She screamed, dropping the paper wraps and sharp, pointy needles, "It's just extra fur! You know how many fowls called me that back in school? A lot, and I made sure every single one of them was smacked upside the pretty little heads!"

She quickly glanced behind and saw Sonic tip toeing out of the shop. When he saw her blazing eyes, he burst out of there like a bullet.

Two hours later

Knuckles, who was called by the Apples family to help with the last few weeks of the apple bucking harvest, was doing his regular chores. Sonic, who had nothing else better to do, joined with him. After about a half an hour of working, they decided to take a break. They were walking along the dirt path, talking about whatever came to mind. During their walk, Knuckles cast his eye to the side and saw Sonic's expression. He was deep in thought, almost troubled.

"Something wrong?" Knuckles asked in his deep and ruffled voice, arms crossed.

It took Sonic a while to answer, he almost looked hesitant to answer.

"It's…It's nothing." Sonic answered, "Just thinking."

Knuckles nodded his head and continued to stroll the path along with him.

"You know," Knuckles spoke with a sly smile, "This world is beginning to grow on me. Back on Mobius, my whole being is to protect the Master Emerald. My ancestors bestowed on me to guard that Emerald with my life; I still remember the day where my great-grandfather left me in charge before my race was whipped out," He took in a deep breath, "I still need to get back, but, Being here I felt a ton of weight lift off my shoulder. I feel…Somewhat free. You're thoughts?"

He cast an eye over and again saw Sonic in deep meditation, a frown clear on his face.

"O.K. Dude, seriously," Knuckles spoke up, "What's gotten into you?"

It took Sonic a while to clear his head and answer him, "I-I told you, it's nothing."

Knuckles clearly heard distress in his voice, "Common…What's wrong?"

"It's something that you don't need to know." Sonic answered him politely.

"Now, hang on a second," Knuckles cut in front of him and stood in his back, crossing his arms, "We're friends here. We go back how many years? Fifteen? Twenty? Can you call back the time when Eggman tricked me into attacking you and stealing your emeralds? If you haven't stepped up and intervened, he would have taken over the world years ago."

Sonic looked up.

"Now, you have helped me during my time of trouble," He continued, "Now let me help you."

Sonic stood for several long seconds contemplating his message. It did strike a chord in his mind. After what seemed like hours, Sonic finally spoke.

"You have to promise me to never tell anybody or pony about this."

Knuckles put a fist on his shoulder, giving him what he tried to put on a warm smile; it seemed more like a snicker, "Cross my heart and hope to die."

Sonic stared at him, then gently pushed him out the way and walked along side of him. He didn't know whether to tell or not, but then again; Knuckles has been with him for a long time. He wouldn't be freaked out…Will he?

"I," He took in a deep breath, "I might have a slight crush on Rainbow."

"…What?" Knuckles deadpanned.

"Every time I look at her, I feel…These butterflies in my belly." Sonic explained, "I-I don't know how to explain it."

"Sonic," Knuckles called, "It's normal. I see nothing wrong with it."

"Th-there shouldn't be nothing wrong," Sonic went on, "But…Why do I feel wrong?"

"...Maybe because you never had a crush on anyone…Ever. And this feeling is new to you."

Leave it up to Knuckles to be bold and concrete.

"Maybe that's it." Sonic said, "Then again. I don't know; It's confusing."

"You're a full-grown hedgehog and you don't know how to approach a girl." Knuckles snickered, "I've never seen you so insecure. You think you'll be a natural."

"Th-this is different." Sonic continued, looking more and more depressed by each sentence.

"…The only advice I can give you is be your cocky self." Knuckles said to him, "Everypony else grew to love it."

This made Sonic smile, but only slightly, "Thanks…I still don't know what to do, but I feel better."

"Eh, you have to talk to a girl if you want real advice." Knuckles brushed off.

Sonic small smile exploded into a grin when a thought came to him, "How are you and Applejack getting along?"

"…Just fine." Knuckles growled at him, "And it's not what you think it is."

"Hey, I'm not going to judge." Sonic ensured him.

"I don't even have a crush on her."

"…If you sa-" Sonic was just about to finish his sentence until his gears began to crank, "Wait a minute."

"What?"

Sonic gave him a long, cold look before opening his mouth, "…You like Rarity."

Sonic will never forget the face he made; Knuckles cheeks flared and his eyes shrunk to the sides of pupils.

"I-I-I-I do not!" Knuckles shouted.

"Don't try to lie to me." Sonic chuckled, he knew him long enough to know he's a terrible lier, "It's obvious. You like to mess with her."

"That don't mean nothin'!"

Sonic raised an eye brow at him while he watched Knuckles stuttered trying to come up with an explanation…Then sighed in defeat.

"…You got me." He finally admitted, scratching the back of his head, "I won't tell if you won't tell."

"Deal." Sonic chuckled.

Amy took a cloth from the table and climbed on a small wooden stool, beginning to whip the dust from Fluttershy's counter. For a house stuffed with so many critters and animals, it was surprisingly quite. The only thing that could be clearly heard was Fluttershy's protest. She's too generous for her own good.

"Oh, uh Amy, you don't have to do anything," She kindly and sweetly protested. If a guy or stallion was in that room now, his heart would have jumped out of his chest and clung to the pale pony like a love-sick puppy, "I can clean those things up."

"Nonsense!" Amy shouted, "You're a friend and I'm going to treat you as one. I have nothing else better to do anyways."

"But…"It didn't take much for her to submit, "O-O.K."

Fluttershy turned around and let Amy continue with her 'spring cleaning', hovering to the kitchen. She quickly glanced at the clock and realized that Angel's lunch was almost past due. He can be rather cranky if his carrot wasn't served in time.

Where was he anyways?

"Angel." She softly called out.

Normally he would respond to her call in a second, but after scanning the kitchen, he was nowhere to be found.

"It's lunch time, little Angel." She sweetly called again with a small smile.

Again, nothing. This is so unusual. Little Angel bunny always scampers here for his lunch. What could have happened to poor little Angel.

"Angel." She called a little louder, "It's time for lunch."

She began to panic, checking every nook and cranny in the kitchen for any signs of the little white rabbit.

"Poor dear." She quietly mumbled to herself, "He could be hurt. What If something happened to him?"

She bolted out the back door and frantically searched her backyard, frisking through every bush and coop she had.

"Angel!" She called…Somewhat, "Where are you, boy?"

She doubled check and came out empty. Finally, she rushed back inside the cottage. The living room was the last place she checked.

Amy was singing to herself while a little white bunny sat closely too her. He kept nudging her side to catch her attention, but she didn't notice her while cleaning the shelves. When she finally finished, she then noticed him.

"Hungry?" She asked him.

He was about to nod, but instead he kept nudging her leg and looking back up at her…She finally gets it.

Amy picked him up and cuddled him in her arms.

"You liked being held, huh?"

His only response is looking up at her and buried his head against her chest. The little bunny sighed deeply, snuggling up against her.

Fluttershy found the two standing in the middle of the room. She warmly smiled and watched the display before Amy turned around and found the timid pegasus in the kitchen.

"Oh, uh," She stuttered a bit, "It's Angel's lunch time."

The bunny rabbit stood on Amy's arms and crossed his arms, glaring at Fluttershy.

"But I'm sorry." Fluttershy said to the little bunny with a quiet voice, "I couldn't find you."

He continued to look her in the eye.

"Here," Fluttershy took the carrot from the kitchen and hovered to him, "You must be starving."

He glared at her for a couple of more seconds before swiping the carrot from her hoof, taking a big and loud bit from his lunch. He took another bite and quickly glanced up, almost jumping back when Fluttershy was two inches from his face.

"I didn't know you like to cuddle." She cooed.

Before the bunny had time to react, Fluttershy picked him up and held him close. Angel scampered and squirmed for a couple of seconds before being put back down on the floor. He looked her dead in the eye, and slapped her across the face and pointed a little finger at her.

"I-I'm sorry," Fluttershy quietly addressed him, "But you didn't seem to mind being held by Amy."

The white rabbit froze for a couple of seconds, his face blushing a deep red while looking behind at Amy. He slowly turned to his side and began walking to his couch, scratching the back of his head. It was good while it lasted, until he heard the two having a little conversation behind him.

"Um…I had no idea Sonic had so much power in him." Fluttershy quietly commented, "Where did he learn to run so fast? Was he born that way?"

"Pretty much." Amy answered, then tilt her head up in elegance, "My Sonic has always been the best at everything. Nothing can stand in his way."

The little rabbit clutched the couch underneath him, feeling a flick of anger hearing the hedgehog name. Fluttershy stood quite for a second before speaking again.

"You like him. Don't you?"

"What kind of question is that?" Amy almost shouted in defense, "He's my boyfriend! Of course I like him!"

The timid pegasus took a second to gather her thoughts before speaking, somewhat frighten by her tone.

"…You sure he feels the same way about you?"

"Of course!" She shouted at her, just inches away from her face, "I am VERY patiently waiting for him to ask my hand in marriage. He loves me! And I love him back!"

Fluttershy decided not to press the issue any further. Just from staring at her eyes, she can see her heart ready to ignite in passion.

The pegasus slowly stood around and trotted back to the kitchen, quickly glancing back to see Amy picking the cloth back up.

"Um…Just don't be disappointed when life decides to take a different route."

Amy glared back at her, but snorted and went back to cleaning. Fluttershy took in a deep sigh, heavy in thought and frustrated that there's nothing she could do…She could only watch.

Luna's moon was frozen high in the sky as the street began to burst in activity. Every pony stallion and mare in town were literary rushing to the infamous Sugar Cube Corner bakery. From what they heard, the party is going to be a knock out. Lights were flickering around the rooftops, large wooden stages were built outside, barrels upon barrels were sitting up around the bakery, even Vinyl Scratch and Octavia will be making an appearance.

You would think Pinkie will be taking advantage of the festivities, but she didn't move a muscle from her spot; Everypony kept a safe distance from her.

Her hair was straight down…That in itself was plenty of reason.

Rarity just happened to saw her standing several feet from the door way.

"Darling, what on earth has gotten into you?" Rarity asked the pink pony out loud to her, making sure she was heard over the crowd, "You've stood there for almost an hour."

Staring ahead and not giving a single eye to the white pony, Pinkie lips gapped just slightly to show snarling teeth, "…Sonic's not hear for his welcoming party."

Rarity eyes widen in sudden terror. She instantly charged magic to her horn and immediately teleported to her shop.

Sonic has been knocking things over random bottles and perfume over the counter, desperately searching for the one thing he needed to stay out of party. He doesn't care if it's his mother's funeral, if Pinkie is there; he's not going, plain and simple! Just thinking about her gives him chills.

"Where is it?" He huffed, liquids and power splattered all over the bathroom floor, "Where's the thermometer? Where in the heck is that thermometer?"

Sweetie Bell has stood at the door way with a raised eyebrow.

"Sonic…What are you doing?"

"Getting myself out of a predicament!" He shouted at her, beginning to throw random things out of the cabinet now.

She knew him long enough to know why he wouldn't go, "It's just Pinkie."

Her words struck him cold, freezing him to the spot, "…Just…Pinkie? Just Pinkie!"

He grab the discovered thermometer and very slowly walked to her, kneeling down and putting both hands on her shoulders. His eyes were wide, bloodshot almost.

"…I lived a pretty long life," He began, talking in a low tone, "I've seen things that will haunt a human, pony, or any animal for as long as they sleep…I've experienced power beyond anything to comprehension, I've faced things that not even the gods themselves could even compare with." He leaned a little closer, almost touching the filly's nose, "But whatever destiny might hold, I pray that I will never…EVER… face Pinkie," His forehead made contact with hers, "Do you understand?"

Sweetie Belle gulped, slowly nodding her head yes.

Sonic slowly stood back up, "I'm glad you do."

In a blink of an eye, he bolted to the kitchen; flickering the oven on and held the thermometer over the little flame it illuminated. When he was sure it was hot, he stuck it in his mouth. He yelped from the scorching heat from the glass tip, but he didn't care. He zipped to the couch and threw himself on it, wrapping himself around a cozy blanket and melted himself to the couch. Suddenly, a white flash engulfed the room, revealing a panicking Rarity in the mist.

"Dear Sonic," She addressed him with concern, "You just earned yourself a world of trouble."

Immediately after she said that, they heard a low squeak and a bell from the door. Sonic cast his eyes around the white mare and almost jumped up and ran for his life when he saw Pinkie slowly approaching him. Her eyes were narrowed, mane and tail flatten. A very dark presence surrounded her, and only intensified when she stood right above him.

"Where have you been?" She asked in a cold voice, "I can't throw a fantastic welcoming party if the guess of honor isn't there."

Pulling in every muscle in his body to keep himself from running, he slightly leaned up.

"ooooohhhhh." He moaned, hoping she'll buy it, "I-I'm *cough* awfully sorry *cough* Pinkie. I came *cough* down with *cough* something. Achooooo…You'll have *cough* to start the party *cough* without me."

She stood over him for several seconds. Sonic could feel a lump rising against his throat as sweat began to pour down his head.

Suddenly, she reared back; her eyes expanding and her lip poking out to a pout. What presence that was lingering around her simply vanished. She looked down on him with sympathy.

"Awww. You sick?" Pinkie asked.

Sonic immediately shook his head yes. She slowly turned around, heading out the front door with her head hung low. As if everything is going to be alright, her head shot up, her mane and tail inflating into curls.

"I know how to make the sickies go away!" She cheerfully shouted as she bolted out the door.

Sonic, Sweetie Bell, and Rarity stared at the doorway; in the mist of confusion until Pinkie bolted back. Fluttershy was wrapped around her hoof; and was wearing the cutest nurse outfit Sonic has ever seen. Her wardrobe was clothed in white with a red plus on the side of her chest, a small adorable nurse hat was tiled to one side…No man will be able to withstand the cuteness, even Sonic was tempted to stand up and give her a hug.

"Nurse Fluttershy!" Pinkie cheerfully called her, "Your patient is in need of serious care!"

"Um…" She studied Sonic carefully from afar, "I have something that can fix that."

Sonic raised an eyebrow at her as she hovered to him.

"C-can you lay on your stomach?" She asked in a quiet voice.

He studied her for a couple of seconds and hesitantly obliged; still staring at her with curiosity. She was deeply blushing, her cheeks turning into a deep rosy red. Sonic felt a little coo rising against his throat as she slowly reached behind her-

And pulled out the biggest rectal thermometer he'd ever seen.

He froze in fear, his eyes about to pop out of his head.

"Sonic…" She hesitantly addressed him, "This might hurt a bit."

He didn't think twice. Sonic threw himself out of the couch and ran out the door, leaving a dust cloud behind him. Pinkie bounced to her timid friend, making her squeak as she put a hoof behind her.

"You're amazing, Fluttershy!" Pinkie commented with a squeal, "He was healed instantly!"

"Um…" Her face was still blushing red, "I-if you say so…I guess."

A peaceful and soothing sound of a low cello echoed through the peaceful and quite night as Octavia gently glide her bow through the cello's strings. Hundreds of ponies were quite, the only other sound that accompanied the crowd was a very quiet and melodic chirping from the grass. Each note the musical pony struck sent tranquility throughout the open space. The ponies below closed their eyes, taking in every inch of the soothing notes the cello was giving.

*Beep. beep-beep-beep. Beep. beep-beep-beep!*

Every pony opened their eyes and saw Vinyl behind her equipment scratching the disk; with eyes closed and slowly nodding her head to the beat.

Suddenly, low vibrating drums beats began to sync with the beeping tone. Every pony down stage were nodded their heads to the upbeat music. Octavia cast a mean look to her side; just in time to catch Vinyl throwing on her purple shades.

"Citizens of Ponyville!" Vinyl cried out loud, "I give you…DJ-Pon 3!"

A series of complex and upbeat notes and tunes screamed from the gigantic boom boxes. Everypony below began hopping and dancing to the beat of the music. Octavia gritted her teeth, her cheeks puffs to a bright red.

"This is MY time!" The pony shouted.

When no one gave her a hint of attention, she threw her cello down and stormed off stage in a fit of rage.

Meanwhile down below, two creatures were standing in the mist of the crowd. Tails never did fancy himself with upbeat music; he was completely still but nod his head to the music anyways…It was surprisingly catchy.

Twilight; who was standing right by him, didn't mind making a lunatic out of herself by wildly jumping and hollering to the loud music. Then she remembered the reason she was out to begin with…To be with her fox.

When she touched back down, she cast her eye towards Tails as he nervously staggered around in place; simply staring ahead and beating his head without a clue. She nudged him on the side to get his attention.

"You havin' fun?" She asked with a hint of lust in her voice.

"...I-I guess." Tails answered her, uncertain of his own answer.

With a metaphorical light bulb flashing above her head, she slowly trotted in front of him…Then suddenly stood on her two back hooves and placed her two front hooves on his shoulder, supporting herself up.

"Wanna dance?" She asked him with heavy eyes.

He stuttered…Not because of Twilight suddenly leaning on him, but because the loud music unnerved him. He saw nothing wrong with dancing, in fact he would be happy dancing with a friend of his, but the music…He can barely hear her voice.

"I-I would." He raised his voice so she could hear him.

Her eyes sparkled; this was the moment she waited for a loooong time.

"But the music," He continued, "It's a little uh, upbeat for me."

Her expression turned blank, letting go of him and standing on his four hooves.

"…I'll be right back." She said to him before suddenly teleporting out of his sight.

Vinyl Scratch was having the time of her life be-bopping and scratching the disks in front of the biggest crowd she ever performed for since the Royal Wedding. A magical aurora suddenly gripped her, pulling her off stage and on the ground. When she stumbled up, she saw a familiar purple unicorn standing over her…What was her name again?

"I-I'm really sorry about that." She nervously said to her while bowing her head, "But I need to ask you a favor."

Well, this wasn't the first time she was yanked off stage by a fan. Vinyl shook her hoof, "What do ya need?" She asked kindly.

Twilight pumped a little magic into her horn and summoned a little slip from thin air, catching it and handing it to Vinyl.

"Do you have this song?" Twilight asked.

The white pony took it and read the slip; raising an eyebrow.

"…We're not planning on any slow music until later tonight."

Twilight a step closer, staring at her dangerously in the eye, "Is that a problem?"

Vinyl began backing off. Even through her shades, she can feel a deep, burning passion ignited in her heart.

"O.K., O.K., Chillax." She calmly addressed her, "Just give me a minute and I'll hook you up."

With a nod of satisfaction, Twilight teleported back to her clueless fox. He didn't move a single muscle since she left.

Suddenly, the loud music cut off with a scratched. Everyone looked around and on stage in a bit of confusion. Vinyl took the stage, grabbing the mike.

"Alright, everybody!" She cheerfully announced, "Grab somepony special and hold them close, we have a special tonight…Enjoy!"

Twilight clamped her mouth closed and squealed from the inside…This moment is going to be so perfect!

When the Piano sat in through the speakers, she trottled in front of them; making sure to hold eye contact for a least two seconds.

"…Wanna dance now?" She asked again.

Tails listened to the music from the speakers; it was just his taste.

"I guess it wouldn't hurt." He answered her.

She had to restrain herself from pouncing him. Twilight slowly stood on her hind legs and leaned herself on him, wrapping her front hooves around his back. She rest her head on his neck, feeling the soft-yellow fur brushing against her cheek. The vocals just kicked in.

[Boy:] There were nights when the wind was so cold

That my body froze in bed if I just listened to it right outside the window

[Girl:] There were days when the sun was so cruel

That all the tears turned to dust and I just knew my eyes were drying up forever

[Both:]

I finished crying in the instant that you left

And I can't remember where or when or how

And I banished every memory you and I have ever made

This is pretty good music, Tails thought, I love the sound of a piano.

Twilight held him closer, warmth secreting from his back and into her front hooves. Her body began to relax.

[Boy:]

But when you touch me like this (touch me like this)

And you hold me like that (hold me like that)

I just have to admit that it's all coming back to me

When I touch you like this (touch you like this)

And I hold you like that (hold you like that)

It's so hard to believe but it's all coming back to me now

[Girl:]

It's all coming back

It's all coming back to me now

Twilight took in a deep breath, embracing him a little closer. A couple of ponies stopped their dancing to witness the two. Sonic just happened to be in the crowd; he held in his laughter as long as he could…Then burst out loud in a fit of giggles, "Is he that clueless?"

[Boy:]

There were moments of gold and there were flashes of light

There were things I'd never do again but then they'd always seemed right

There were nights of endless pleasure

It was more than any laws allow-baby, baby!

If I kiss you like this (kiss you like this)

And if you whisper like that (whisper like that)

It was lost long ago but it's all coming back to me

If you want me like this (if you want me like this)

And if you need me like that (if you need me like that)

It was dead long ago but it's all coming back to me

It's so hard to resist and it's all coming back to me

I can barely recall, but it's all coming back to me now...

Sonic watched on, about to double back from the uncontrollable amount of giggles slipping from his lips. Tails began to notice the amount of ponies staring at them.

"Uh…Twilight." Tails nervously whispered, "I see ponies watching us."

"Just ignore them." Twilight whispered back, embracing him even closer. Close enough for their stomach to touch. Warmth secreted through her entire body now as his fur brushed up against hers. Another dreamy sighed released from her lips.

But you were history with the slamming of the door

And I made myself so strong again somehow

And I never wasted any of my time on you since then!

But if I touch you like this (touch you like this)

And if you kiss me like that (kiss me like that)

It was so long ago but it's all coming back to me

If you touch me like this (touch me like this)

And if I kiss you like that (kiss you like that)

It was gone with the wind but it's all coming back to me now

[Girl:]

It's all coming back

It's all coming back to me now.

Twilight continued to hold him as Tails tried to step around a little…He never thought she enjoyed slow dancing so much.

"Hold me." Twilight whispered to him.

Tails stopped his footing, his eyes widening a bit in surprise, "W-what?"

"Hold me, I said." She whispered again, "…We're dancing, aren't we?"

"I…" He never held another girl before, let alone a pony. Yet again, they were dancing, so it was only natural, "If you want me too."

When he wrapped his arms around her back, she trembled. Her breathing becoming heavier and heavier with each step the fox took. Rainbow appeared beside Sonic and saw the two dancers. She burst out laughing with the blue hedgehog. Almost every couple stopped to see the two dancers.

"What an odd couple." A stallion mumbled to himself.

"I think it's cute." His date commented

[Boy:]

There were moments of gold and there were flashes of light

There were things we'd never do again but they'd always seemed right

There were nights of endless pleasure

It was more than all your laws allow-baby, baby, baby!

When you touch me like this (touch me like this)

And when you hold me like that (hold me like that)

It was gone with the wind but it's all coming back to me.

The stallion and mare continued to watch the two.

"Sure looks like she's enjoying it." The mare commented.

"I'll say." The stallion agreed.

They watched on; they can see Twilight resting her head against his shoulder. She slowly opened her eyes. The mare and stallion jumped back when they saw her violent eyes rolled to the back of her head.

"…She's REALLY enjoying it." The stallion mumbled.

When Rainbow and Sonic saw her eyes rollback, they began to laugh so hard that tears strained from their eyes. Sonic threw into a giggle fit until he felt something brush against his side. His face turned red-hot when he saw Rainbow accidentally rubbing up against him in her blinded laughter. When she took notice, she shot her head up and studied him.

"…Your face is red again." She said to him, "You feeling alright?"

"I-uhhh, uhhh."

He stuttering became worst when her magenta eyes began to sparkle with the flashing lights.

Before Rainbow could ask another question, he took off.

"Wait! Where you going?" She called.

Rainbow tried to catch up with, but as soon as he slipped into the mist of staring ponies; he vanished.

"What the hay is his problem?" She asked herself.

She tried to find him in the mist of the crowd, but he was gone.

When you see me like this (see me like this)

And when I see you like that (see you like that)

Then we see what we want to see-all coming back to me

The flesh and the fantasies-all coming back to me

I can barely recall, but it's all coming back to me now...

If you forgive me all this (forgive me all this)

If I forgive you all that (forgive you all that)

We forgive and forget and it's all coming back to me now

[Girl:] It's all coming back to me now

[Boy:] We forgive and forget

[Both:] And it's all coming back to me now...

Tails listened to last bit of the calm and soothing piano bit. After a second, the music cut off. Twilight was still holding him

"Twilight." He whispered to him; now seeing every pony staring at them, "The song is over."

Twilight purred like a little kitten. She held him even closer, slowly breathing in and out.

"Uh…Twilight?"

"Hand me a chocolate shake!" Octavia spat out at Ms. Cake.

"I-I'm sorry, mam," Mc. Cake apologized, seeing the agitation in her eyes, "W-w-we're all out of milk."

Octavia cussed under her breath and chunked a couple of bits at her, "Pack of cookies; on the double!"

Ms. Cake bowed in respect and rushed to the kitchen. Octavia was sitting on a stool, resting her head on the table. This was her moment to shine, and yet again Vinyl has taken it away from her. Out of boredom, she began to observe her environment or anything interesting to watch. Nothing out of the usual; every pony in the bakery having the times of their lives and simply chatting with their friends. Where were those strange creatures at? Aren't they supposed to be here?

She scanned her eyes around the colorful room and saw a red echidna sitting by himself, as if he was waiting on someone. Suddenly, she saw a blue hedgehog, who she heard to be Sonic, appearing at the door He was huffing, his face blushing bright red. When he saw the red echidna sitting by a table, he calmly walked to him, taking a seat next to him. She was close enough to overhear them.

"What's gotten into ya, buddy?" Knuckles asked with a snicker. He seemed to be in a good mood, "You look beat down."

Octavia looked on and saw the blue hedgehog putting his head down on the table, covering his face with his own arms, "I blew it, man."

Knuckles raised an eye brow, his smile disappearing in an instant, "What happened?"

Sonic took in a deep breath, shaking his head in shame, "Rainbow was right there in front of me and I took off."

Octavia may see a frown on his lips, but by studying his body language, he was relaxed; marry from the inside, "…You just ran?"

The cello was just about to listen in to his story until Ms. Cake trotted beside her.

"Your cookies are ready." She politely said to her, laying the pack on the table, "fresh from the oven."

Octavia turned her head to her, looking her in the eye with a blank expression, "Thanks…Sorry for yelling at you earlier."

"Oh, don't mind." Ms. Cake shrugged her off, "I'm sure you're having a bad day after everything you went through tonight."

The gray mare sighed, "I've had worst."

Ms. Cake rushed back to the kitchen as Octavia turned her attention back to the group. She must have missed Sonic's story, because Knuckles was up on his feet beside him; smiling while patting him on the back.

"You don't need to worry," He said to him like a buddy he knew for years, "Maybe next time you'll be able to talk to her."

"I-I don't know." Sonic moaned, "I just not cut out for these kind of things."

"No one is." Knuckles chuckled him, "I mean, look at me…I don't know what the heck I'm doing and I'm somehow getting Rarity's attention."

"And every time you do, she chases you with something sharp levitating by her."

Knuckles sighed deeply and sat back down on his chair, leaning and resting his head with his two fists, "You're right…but I haven't had that much fun in years. She's fun to mess with."

Octavia heard the door open. She cast her eye over and saw a cowmare carrying a barrel behind her. She trotted over to the two creatures.

"Applejack!" Knuckles cheered with arms opened, "I've been waiting for you all night."

"Sorry there, partner." Applejack said to him, unlatching herself from the wheel barrel, "This here is mighty heavy to carry by one pony."

Knuckles snickered, "Or maybe you're just weak."

The cowpony gave him a serious glare while trotting back to the barrel. She pulled out two mugs and slammed it on the table, "We'll see how weak ah am after a little round of chugging hard cider."

The red echidna took a quick glance at the barrel and the cowpony. He chuckled, "You serious?"

She hauled the barrel to the front of the table, filling the two mugs with a yellow and brown liquid; sliding one to the echidna in question, "If ya pass out…Ya lose."

Knuckles and Applejack glared at each other. Now this is something Octavia wanted to see.

"I'm out!" Sonic threw his hands up in the air and slowly backed away.

Applejack was just about to drink until she remembered something.

"Hang on a second there; sugarcube." She said to him while standing from the table.

Octavia looked on as the cowpony pulled something from the cart. She widen her eyes when Applejack approached her with a case on her back.

"Can ya play somethin' other than a cello?" Applejack asked her.

The gray mare raised an eyebrow as the cowpony put the case on the floor. When she clicked it open, a smile began to crest on musician's lips.

It was a wooden fiddle.

Octavia slowly bent over and picked the small instrument up, giving the farmer a nice long hug. When the musician released, she slowly trotted to the front desk; standing on the counter top with the fiddle balanced on her hoof. Everypony below were talking loudly inside the room, it was impossible to hear anything other than voices.

*TAP, TAP!*

With two taps on the table, everypony silenced; they cast their gaze up to see Octavia standing on the bar table with a fiddle in her hooves.

She gently pressed her bow against the strings, casing a gaze over at Applejack and Knuckles with their mugs firmly grasped in their appendages. From that glaze, everypony knew where to look to. When the two raised their mugs, the musician began to slide her bow against the strings.

---

"CHUG! CHUG! CHUG! CHUG! CHUG!..."

Dozens of stallions crowded around the table as Knuckles and Applejack chugged down their fourth fill of heavy cider. Octavia began to play her fiddle more vibrantly when she noticed the competitor's exhausted faces. Knuckles and Applejack were filling queasy, already feeling the numbing effects of alcohol. The cowpony was weaving left and right in her seat, her eyes lids beginning to wrinkle. Knuckles was breathing heavily, his fist on the table and the mug held to his side. Applejack slowly lift her mug under the barrel, filling her mug to the brim and slamming it on the table with a loud thud. Knuckles did the same and filled his mug. With one swift motion, they raised their mugs to their mouths; Octavia's music began to play faster and faster.

The musician closed her play with a long screech when the two finished their last round. Everything fell quite; the stallions looked on as the two stare each other down. Applejack began to moan, her stomach screaming in pain. Her body was slumped, pleading for mercy. She continued to stare down her opponent.

He had the cheekiest smile she had ever seen; stretching from one end of his cheek to the other. One eye blinked, and his other eye blinked after the other opened. A low, goofy chuckle vibrated from his throat. His head was slowly bobbing to one side to the other.

Suddenly…With a loud thud…Applejack fell to the floor. Eyes closed and tongue sticking out; A little speck of drool dripping from the side of her mouth.

"Winner!" A stallion cried out.

Every stallion as well as a couple of mares roared for their champion. In his sub-conscience state, Knuckles staggered out of his chair; chuckling in a deep tone.

"Now. I-I-I-I gotta tell everybody somethin'!" He shouted, his speech slur, "You guys are tha *hiccup* greatest, man! If I had every dollar for the amount of *hiccup* awesomeness ya'll have; I'll be ah billion air!"

The ponies around him began to give him a little room as he wildly staggered around, his arms flailing in every direction. A couple of stallions were giving him a good ol' pat on the back as he continued to stagger around the shop aimlessly.

He grabbed one unlucky stallion around his neck and supported himself on it. With a free fist, he waved it in the air.

"Mares!" Knuckles chuckled out loud, "Mares *hiccup* everywhere! That's one thing *hiccup* here I love about this place! I see nothing but booty when I come around here!"

Dozens of stallions chuckled at him. A couple of mares sitting by a nearby table, looking on in disgust as Knuckles continued to shout unpleasant words about a mare's body part. He continued to stagger until he saw a very familiar white unicorn socializing with a couple of nobles. With a goofy grin and a deep chuckle, he approached her from behind.

"Whoa! *hiccup*Back that thing up; sweetie!"

Rarity's eyes shrunken to peas as she turned around to face who ever made that rude comment. No creature should ever comment about a mare's bottom!

"Marshmallow!" He shouted in joy, "That was *hiccup* your bottom I was staring at!"

In a split second, she uppercut her hoof and struck him right between the legs. She was huffing, ready to beat the living crap out of him when he drops.

He didn't even flinch. His goofy smile was still plastered on him.

Without warning, he wrapped his arm around her neck.

"Now *hiccup*," He addressed her, slurring every sentence, "I-I know my looks may not *hiccup* compare to any stud you may have stared at! But let me tell you somethin'!"

He knelt in front of her, "I *hiccup* love you!"

Her jaw dropped in total shock.

"I freakin' love you *hiccup* dude!" He repeated.

She began to gag, stepping back as he began to crawl towards her.

"Keep your dirty hands away from me!" She shouted at him.

Before he could get close enough to her, she spun around; bucking him square in the face. The kick sent him flying backwards, crashing into a wall. Rarity galloped out of there before he had time to recover.

Sonic; who was simply lying back on his chair enjoying the spectacle, decided to stand up and help the poor echidna up to his feet. He almost wanted to intervene when he approached Rarity, but why ruin the fun? She knew he was drunk; she'll won't think anything of it.

Lease he hoped she won't think anything of it.

The hedgehog stood over him, about to give a hand until the chuckling Knuckles staggered back to his feet. By some shot of a miracle, he was still smiling.

"Sonic! *hiccup* Buddy!" He cheered, giving him a hug, "How ya doin, man!"

"You alright?" Sonic asked him, wincing when he remembered the unicorn kicking him.

"I'm doin' great, man!" He shouted, putting an arm around him, "This is the *hiccup* best night of my life!"

"You're not hurt?"

"Naw!" Knuckles shook his head while letting him go, "Why wouldn't I be?"

"…Just wondering."

Sonic held him and supported him up before he could stagger over. Every mare in the room kept their distance from the drunken echidna.

They were almost to the door until something pink popped in front of them.

Sonic dropped knuckles and almost ran when he realized who it was.

"Hey, Sonic!" Pinkie cheered, "You leaving so soon?"

He caught his breath and tries not to stutter when answering her. Just being near her unnerves him, "I-I would love to stay," He bent over and propped Knuckles on his shoulder; who only answered in low giggles, "But my friend here needs a place to crash."

Pinkie popped in front of the drunken echidna and lift his head to see his face. Sonic nervously watched on as the two studied each other…Seconds turns into minutes.

Knuckles' eyes blink one after the other, his goofy grin spreading wide against his face.

"*hiccup*…You're pink."

Sonic couldn't explain it, nor will he be able to understand it...Something clicked between those two. An unknown connection has been made.

"You wanna party?" She exciting asked him, "I love parties! I can't go a single day without a party!"

Knuckles leaned on his own feet, staggering around until he somehow stabled himself. He suddenly grabbed her shoulders by his fists.

"…LET'S *hiccup* PARTY!"

Sonic jumped back as the two exploded in a fit of laughter; marching out the front door like two solders rushing out to battle. The next thing he heard out the door was either Pinkie's laughter or mares screaming for help. When he gathered his courage, he poked his head through the door.

Pinkie was popping everywhere from every random direction, surprising any unfortunate pony with her ruthless and cheerful antics. He saw a clear path for him to sprint across. Right before he boomed out of there, he caught a glimpse of a large group of mares running for their lives.

"Stay away from us!" One of them shouted.

After a second, Sonic saw a drunk knuckles running after them; his arms wide open, ready for a big hug.

"THIS IS SPARTA!" He shouted to the top of his lungs.

As soon as the opening became clear, Sonic boomed out of there; leaving behind a shock wave and a dust trail as he ran like heck out of there. He was out of there; that's all he cared about…His only regret running was not seeing Rainbow again that night.

---

One hour later.

Tails was exhausted, close to falling asleep as he opened the door to the library. He had to admit, it was fun. The dancing was nice, even though it took him a little coaxing to get Twilight off of him, she must really enjoy dancing. He always had trouble fighting sleep when midnight past; maybe because he was still young.

The purple unicorn was walking right behind him...This night was so perfect, never has she been more in love with the clueless fox. She didn't care if he was a terrible dancer; just feeling his soft fur brushing against her made this night something to remember. She smiled, and smiled for the rest of the night, even when she goes to bed.

"I sure am tired," Tails yawned, "I can't wait to get some sleep."

"Oh! Let me fluff the couch for you." She summoned a thick blanket and a fluffy pillow, laying it on the couch.

Tails didn't even care to visit the bathroom, he crashed on the couch; turning his back to the open space and began to let his conscience slip away from him.

"Good night, Twilight." Tails yawned out, "Thanks for the dance."

"Good night." She cooed, "Don't let the bedbugs bite."

She was about to go upstairs until she heard a light snore behind her. Turning around, she saw the fox already asleep, slowly breathing in out. His chest slowly expanding and deflating as soft snores brushed against his throat.

Twilight felt her heart stop; she never realized how cute he was when he was sleeping. Warm and fuzzy feelings began haze her mind.

She can no longer control her urges. Slowly and quietly, she approached him; standing just beside the couch. Twilight carefully lift her front hooves up and rest them on the fox's body, pulling him in a little.

"Sweat dreams, my little angel."

She lowered her head, bringing her muzzle closer and closer to his face. With eyes closed, she kissed him; holding her lips in for several seconds before letting him go. A tingling sensation shot through her body as she stood on her hooves. She breathed in deeply, now happier than ever to have kissed the boy of her dreams. She calmly trotted upstairs, confident that he slept through her kiss…She was dead wrong.

Little did she realize that Tails' eyes were shot opened. Wide and awake when he felt the unicorn's moist lips touch his cheeks. A weak whimper trembled through his lips.

Author's notes.

Well, none of you expected that, didn't ya?

10,000 words, readers. I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I have writing it. Don't be scared to give me your honest opinion…If it sucked, tell me.

I have a little announcement to make. Did any of ya wished that they were artwork for this fan fiction?…I'm here to tell you that your wish just came true! That's right! Someone by the name of Aim High volunteered to help me with some of my drawings. We decided to come together and illustrate some of the scenes for your enjoyment. If you have any suggestions, let me know (I prefer by private messaging). If it's in the fan fiction, I'll do it! I might have a little trouble with the back ground, but I can draw the characters.

I'll let you know where we going to release our work.

About the dead line…Again, two weeks tops.

And just to chat a little…I bet everyone seen the season finale of MLP. Some of you are excited about Alicorn Twilight, while some of you are raging about it; some of you really don't care just as long as the show is good, and some of you cried to see Twilight's achievement.

I just want to put something in context…I'm not excited about Alicorn Twilight, not one bit! I may be proud, but I was about to vomit when her form took place. So many emotions shot through me during that morning, I didn't know what to feel; It was so much of a shock!…Things are never going to be the same.

But look at it like this…Alicorn Twilight has opened new doors for the show. Since she's an Alicorn, it's likely she'll be interacting with Celestia and Luna more often. Be optimistic, dear readers.

And here's something else to cheer some of you up…Derpy was hiding in the back ground during the finale! I know! I totally shouted for joy! Just check back and look carefully. You'll see her.

DERPY IS BACK IN TOWN, BABY!

With that off my chest, I'm signing out…I'll be back with another chapter ready.

God Bless

Harry

Oh! by the way...The song at the dance was "It's All Comming Back to Me Now" By Meatloaf
