Sweden

South Africa

Colombia

Spain

Bahamas

Saudi Arabia

Italy

Greece

Hong Kong

And many others! If you belong to another country, be proud and shout it out in the comments!

Why did I bring this up…? I don't know. I thought it was pretty neat that it's not just Americans reading this. Here's some shoutouts:

Theguyinthatvan: I'm sorry to break this to you, but if you read back in the author's notes, I already have another fan fiction planned. I don't know too much about Pokemon.

Originally, I was going to do either one of the poll choices on my profile… But I had another idea that begged for me to write. For everyone else, if you have a profile, I still encourage you to vote. When I get through with my other fan fiction, I'll begin work what ya'll picked.

S.R.A.R: Just keep guessing. XD

And to remind you and everyone else, this story takes place right after the Royal Wedding.

Lolguy: Who needs drugs? Drugs are for wussies!

DJman642: Hmm… that's the first negative comment I've received. If you would comment or private message what I'm doing wrong, It'll be much appreciated. This is my first written work, and I'm trying to learn from my mistakes; and what a better way to learn than to hear from readers just like you.

And just checking out the comments, I finally realized how much attention I'm getting. Have any of ya'll ever heard of Achille12345… he has a YouTube channel, and some of his videos has more than 100,000 views. He's actually advertising on my comment section.

Good Lord…Let me be honest. I just wanted a solid MLP/Sonic crossover everyone could read. That's it. I wasn't aiming for comments or popularity.

Anyways, enjoy the chapter.

Relief.

Joy.

Excitement.

Happiness.

All of the warm feelings were bubbling inside the red echidna, as he was making his way to the house of candy and sweets, where Sonic's big return party will be going down. Ponies were glancing his way and they could have sworn that he's restraining himself from skipping. When he spotted Sonic talking on his head set, he ran towards him with open arms.

While Sonic was talking to Shadow about where to locate the last emerald, he was suddenly ambushed by a sudden hug.

"Sonic!" He shouted in victory, "You won't believe this, Sonic!"

The blue hedgehog took a couple of steps away from him, which forced him to hang up on an interrupted, hung up, and a very agitated Shadow.

"I was in the middle of something!"

"I-I-I know, but Rarity didn't hoof me in the nuts like you predicted! She actually decided to date me!"

Sonic put two fingers to his head and just shook. Sure he was proud of him, but still… he went through a lot of trouble getting Shadow to pick up.

"Well good for you. What happened?"

"Oh, I didn't do much," Knuckles began to explain, "Just put on my charm and seduced her. She was head over heels for me! As I walked in-"

What really happened.

---

"I-I-listen… I know that I've been a prick towards you recently, but I'm telling you the truth! I was messing with you because I like you."

Knuckles nervously took another sip of his tea while Rarity sternly stared at him.

"Dear, you and I both know this will never work. We come from completely different lives, and not to be rude… you smell like something that crawled out of an outhouse."

"Oh, come on!" The red echidna pleaded, "What kind of guy are you looking for?"

"Well," Rarity looked up and began to remember her list she made when she was a filly, "I want a male that's honest, gentle, handsome, clean, charming, humble, and most importantly have a sense of civility. You don't meet any of those things."

"You'll never date the perfect one," Knuckles combated, "And I can change! I'll start cleaning up my act, I'll start taking showers, and I'll become your personal mannequin when you do your dresses-"

Rarity put a hoof on his hand, "I don't mean to break your heart sweetie, but this was not meant to be. I respect you as a friend, but I will never have attraction towards you."

"But-"

"Ah-ah-ah!" She levitated her cup and his, standing from her seat to trot to the kitchen, "There will be another mate for you more suitable than I. You're just going to have to wait."

Knuckles sighed in defeat. He didn't want to do this, but he has no other option.

"If you date me, I'll stop teasing you."

His words stopped her cold.

"…what did you say, dear?"

"I said if you date me," Knuckles recited, "I'll stop poking fun at you. I'll treat you as my queen, and I'll even stop calling you the 'M' word."

Treat her as a queen, eh? Now there's a male she could date.

"When you say, 'treat me as a queen'," Rarity repeated, trotting towards him with a hint of malevolence in her eyes, "You'll do everything I say without question?"

"…Yes."

She turned away from him and pretended to think of his offer. After a second, she turned back to him.

"Role play a knight saving a damsel in distress with me here and I'll date you."

"Deal."

---

"…Wow." Sonic mumbled, "I didn't know she was that into you."

Knuckles smirked, shrugging while walking ahead of him, "Well Sonic, I have a way with females. I just offer my hands of comfort, and they buckle."

Boy, how much Knuckles has changed since they appeared in Equestia. Sonic still remembers the Knuckles back on Earth. Serious, calculating, critical, and who could never take a joke.

It's wonder how something like arriving a land full of talking ponies could change a species.

"Well, I'm proud of you." Sonic congratulated him, "And just to let you know before I forget, I'm planning on having another meeting tomorrow about the last emerald. No one has the slightest idea where to look."

"Ah, we'll worry about that later," Knuckles shouted as he took off towards the bakery, "Now, we party!"

---

The sky began to dull to a dim orange as the setting golden sun settled over the horizon. Luna teleported on Canterlot's hospital and charged her horn, lifting the full moon until gravity took its course. Stars began to twinkle with dark clouds painted through the heavens.

Everypony knows that when this particular moon rises, Pinkie will blast the cannon of celebration.

"IT'S TIME TO PARTY!"

*BOOM!*

Her cannon can be heard from miles around; wildlife that was unfortunate enough to be around town will spontaneously urinate and scatter in fright. The party cannon was so loud, the windows that are not enforced will shatter from the violent shockwave.

Please note that most ponies have Pinkie Pie insurance for such occasions, to have the windows replaced for free; ponies who just registered will receive a free earmuff with their purchase. Celestia approved!

When that cannon sounds, everypony knows to rush to the bakery. For sixty seconds, the town is thrown into complete anarchy. Ponies of all kind will flood the streets, flying and galloping frantically in hopes to reach to the first servings of Pinkie's specially made cake. Chaos will reign, and peace will settle just as sudden.

When everypony has gathered around the bakery, the streets are left in shambles. Street posts were knocked over, market stalls have shattered… never a good day for the mayor.

The mayor could have her headquarters fixed; a mansion bought, fancy guard ponies in suits by her side, and maybe even a grand museum built for tourists, but nope! Every single bit has to be invested in repairs.

At least Pinkie Pie was responsible for the construction worker's salary increases. When they threatened the mayor with a union several years back, she didn't have a choice but to meet their demands!

Anyways, Sonic was in the middle of the party, and unfortunately for him; Pinkie was giving the hedgehog the proper introduction for slaying the mechanical beast.

Guess he should have thought twice before telling the pink pony to throw a party as a distraction… Chaos, he knew better!

"Alrighty, everypony!" Pinkie Pie shouted in a microphone that was neither connected to an outlet nor magical, but somehow amplified her voice to unholy levels... and they were inside! "Let's give it up for Sonic for once again saving Ponyville from an inevitable doom!"

The crowd cheered, raising their glasses in a form of salute and chanting his name. If this was the first time he stood in front of a idolizing crowd, he would be soaking it in by dancing around, doing flips, and whatever stunt that was possible on two legs to entice.

But after standing in front of a idolizing crowd so many times during his past adventures, it just grew tiresome. Sonic however was polite, by waving his hands and accompanying the crowd. As expected, he had to play games like pin the tail on the pony, hitting a piñata, hide and seek, seven minutes in heaven-

Just kidding.

Hours began to tick by and the crowd began to focus on other things at the party. When Sonic was sure that the crowd was completely off of him, he carefully maneuvered to the front door; careful not to bump into anypony or grabbing any kind of attention. When he made his way outside and to an opening, he checked his surroundings one more time for anyone that might be watching. When he was sure he wasn't being followed or watched, he jogged through the narrow allies to avoid detection. With the six emeralds still in possession, Sonic stopped when he was behind a large hill top on the outskirts of Ponyville. He jumped, powered up, and boomed towards the clouds.

---

Meanwhile at the party

"Knuckles, sweetie!" Rarity called out loud to the crowd, "Could you do me a favor and thatch me a drink of punch, please?"

Out of the mist of ponies came Knuckles with a plastic cup in his fist.

"Got it right here!" He shouted, walking towards her, "Need anything else?"

"Nah. I'm fine, dear."

With a huge smirk, Knuckles proudly placed a fist firmly on her back, almost leaning on her.

"This wasn't as bad as you thought it was, now ain't it?"

She felt Goosebumps when he touched her, but shrugged it off and sighed in defeat.

"No, you turned out to be more tolerable than expected. You're still no prince."

"Dah, you need no prince." He shrugged, "You just wanted a male that would pamper you, that's all."

She just rolled her eyes at his comment, "Oh no. I wanted to date a gentle male."

Knuckles shook his head, "No. You wanted some stud to take care of you."

"Hardly," Rarity kindly disagreed, "I wouldn't accept anything that would be daunting."

Knuckles shrugged, "Whatever. Do you want me to give you a manicure and brush your mane when we get back?"

Her eyes sparkled, "You would do that for me!? Oh, it would be such a pleasure- wait a minute."

"Gotcha!"

She stomped her hooves on the floor, "Alright fine, I admit! I love being pampered."

Knuckles smirked, giving her a couple of respected pats on the back, "Can't hide anything from me, Miss Rarity."

"Hmm… no, I can't." She sighed.

But then she placed a hoof on her chin when she realized something; he's not a complete genius.

"But Knuckles," She cooed, walking right in front of him and flittering her eye lashes seductively at him, "Would you brush my mane and manicure me anyways, since you've brought it up?"

…Man. She's creepy when she bats her eyes like that. Knuckles thought while taking a step back, "Uh-"

She suddenly zipped up to him and began to rub her cheeks against him, "I thought you would do anything for me, Knuckles?"

Aw wait! Knuckles thought, trying to restrain himself from hitting himself on the head, Dang it! Forgot that I said that to her! I'm gonna have to agree now!

"I will when we get back," He groaned.

"Oh, thank you sweetie!"

Yet, another defeat by the illusive Rarity. How do females do it? It's like they can think two moves ahead of a male and somehow act upon it to their advantage.

Crud. At least he has something Rarity will never have. Brute strength.

"Well, I'm carrying you."

She was about to shout no until he suddenly swept her up her hooves and cradled her.

"Knuckles! Not in public!"

"Too late, my lady."

And not too soon he began to carry her to the front door, in front of every pony, filly, and foal that was there. Embarrassing, for sure… especially when she noticed a couple of noble ponies present at the party. Boy, will this be the talk of Canterlot.

But, even to her surprise, she couldn't find it in herself to care.

When he carried her outside, he spotted Applejack helping herself to an apple fritter by a concession stand. It's been strange lately. The cowpony's been distancing herself from everypony lately from avoiding family meals, working herself to the bone on the farm; she's even been avoiding little Apple Bloom.

What could be bothering her so much that she doesn't want to see her own little sister? Even on Knuckles' worst days he'll mess with her… she's adorable!

Knuckles carefully placed Rarity down and started walking toward the cowpony's direction.

"Wait, darling. Where are you going?" She called.

"I'm going to see Applejack for a little bit." He shouted at her, "See ya inside."

It wasn't just Knuckles and Applejack's family that noticed her attitude. Rarity and the other five were taking notice as well.

"Okay, dear. See you in a bit."

With Rarity going back inside with much wondering eyes staring at her from earlier, Knuckles began to gently push his way through the crowd until he had a clearing to the cowpony. She was seated on the ground with half an apple on her hoof. Knuckles stood beside her without being seen. Just from the looks of it, she was very mopy. Eyes half closed with a depressing frown on her face. He stood there for a whole minute, and she has yet to notice him.

Deciding to surprise her, he stretched his fist out and gave her a firm pat on the back of her neck; almost knocking her over.

"How's it hanging?" He asked with a grin.

She glanced at him for just a second then sneered away, not saying a word.

"Not so well, I take," He answered, "Why don't we go inside and have ourselves a cupcake eating contest?"

"No thanks."

She then began to trot away from him. Knuckles followed closely behind her.

"Oh, come on!" Knuckles shouted playfully, "You're not gonna challenge me? I thought you like an eating contest."

"Not today." She said not looking back.

At this point, Knuckles sighed, deciding to get straight to the point.

"Okay. Seriously. What's been going on with you?"

"Nothin'." She answered, still trotting away from him with no destination in particular, "Nothin' ya should be worrin' about."

"Well, it sounds like something." Knuckles mumbled, "You've been avoiding me, you've been avoiding your mare friends, you've been even avoiding your own family members."

"It's none of anypony's concern, ahright!" She snapped, "I just wanna to be alone!"

"I'm not going to leave you alone until you talk," Knuckles firmly addressed, "Now, come on. What's going on?"

She continued to trot, ignoring him.

"Applejack."

"Whut does uh cowpony haveta do to git some privacy!"

She shouted loud enough to catch the attention of wandering mares.

"Ah just wanna be alone!" She continued, "Is that too much for uh cowpony to ask fer!?"

She then began to gallop away from him.

"Wait!" Knuckles shouted for her.

His call was completely ignored. Before he could chase after her, she disappeared inside the crowd. This predicament troubled Knuckles greatly. He didn't want to see Applejack in a state of distress. As close friends as he was with her, he realized that he just couldn't press the issue with her.

"…Guess there's nothing I could do until she calms down," He mumbled, "I hate to see her like this, though."

With a long sigh, he slowly journeyed back to the bakery.

The heros that are visiting this world know, and fear, that Amy has the most detailed information pertaining to Sonic. Her knowledge of the blue hedgehog excels to no end; from knowing his top speed, to how high he can jump, to his favorite kinds of food, to how long she uses the bathroom… even knowing his scent.

With Amy's excessive knowledge of Sonic, a fan club strictly dedicated to him recently opened near the school and has elected her for president. There was a race between her and an innocent, but a very schizophrenic mare for the seat.

When the mare declared she knew so much about him that she would be his perfect girlfriend, however… things turned deadly.

Now talking among her peers of other Sonic fanatics, she found herself again, telling them more things about the hedgehog for their sensational ears. Any questions they had, it was answered quickly and deceitfully. Even at this party she couldn't escape the Sonic Club, but it was a good thing for her.

Then all of a sudden, she felt that something was off… way off.

While the fans and a couple of spectators were shooting questions at her, she felt a grim disturbance. Her seventh sense started to fire off inside her mind like a screeching war siren. What could it be?

"Amy?" A young stallion called to her, "You alright?"

His question went unheard. Her pupils dilated with her mind trying to decipher this… warning.

Sacred ground is being trespassed.

"Amy?" A filly called.

Something pure is being violated at this very moment.

But what?

"Amy!" A mare shouted while waving her hooves in front of her.

…Of course! That has to be it!

Sonic! Someone or something is touching her Sonic! She knows it! She feels it, she feels the violation!

"Snap out of it!" Spectators shouted to her.

Without a word, she shot up and bulldozed ponies out of the way as she ran outside. Noise pollution of hundreds of ponies talking went deaf by her senses. It was pointing somewhere… somewhere towards the Everfree Forest.

With her hammer raised and anxiety kicking in, she aimlessly charged into the darkness. Any dangerous creatures that were unfortunate enough to stand in her way were mercilessly slammed by her hammer. For several minutes, she kept running and following the dirt trail until she came to a clearing. She stumbled upon a massive colorful clear waterfall that poured from the side of a mountain, with splashes of water colliding each other in a fantastic spectacle of color. The sky above wasn't dark, but instead only glow a shade of blue upon the dew grass as the full moon above lit the scenery.

Sonic is somewhere around here... she can feel it.

---

There was a small hole on the face of the mountain, a hole hidden behind the rainbow waterfall and just big enough to fit two creatures. Although anyone could see through this waterfall with no trouble, Sonic and Rainbow Dash were placed high enough for no one to see them from below. They were sitting against the very back of the hole, leaning against each other while watching the colorful waterfall. Rainbow Dash had her two hooves wrapped around Sonic' s stomach while brushing her head against his blushing cheeks. He had one arm wrapped around her neck while almost leaning on top of her. This was the first date they had alone, and they couldn't be any happier.

"This…" Rainbow whispered, holding him tighter, "…This is great."

"You sure know where to pick a dating spot." Sonic mumbled under his breath, his eyes fixed outside, "This is just beautiful."

"I found this place when I was a filly," Rainbow explained, thinking back of her childhood, "I was just doing tricks until I lost control, then flew though a waterfall, and landed in this hole. I knew I would be sharing this spot with someone one day."

Sonic wrapped his other hand around her, letting out a deep breath. For several minutes, they held each other. All sense of time being lost in this blissful night as they take pleasure in each other's company. Sonic leaned off of her.

"I have a question." He mumbled.

Dash leaned her head back to see his sparkling green eyes, "Yes?"

She saw specks of red igniting on his cheeks, suddenly becoming very reluctant to speak.

"You know… we've known each other for quite some time, we've been through thick and thin, we've fought countless of robotic monsters-"

"Yes?"

"And… y-you know how relationships can be when two creatures really like each other-"

"Yes?"

"And you know how a guy has desires to be comforted by a female-"

Well, this is killing the mood.

"Spit it out, Sonic." Rainbow groaned, "I never knew you to get nervous around me… except maybe that day when you were trying to ask me out."
The hedgehog just shook his head and pinched his nostrils, "…You wanna kiss?"

She raised an eyebrow at him. The romantic mood was completely shot, "You were that nervous to ask me if you wanted to kiss?"

"I-I thought you would be nervous," Sonic explained, "And I was scared to hurt our relationship if I mashed on gas."

Rainbow rolled her eyes, "Fuzzball… what did I say when you wanted to be my boyfriend?"

Sonic thought back when they were in Fillydelphia, "Somewhere on lines that you're not an emotional kind of pony that thinks dating is a big deal."

She leaned a little closer to him with a seductive smile, "Then what do you think my answer will be now?"

He leaned back a little, "Uh… yes?"

Suddenly and without warning, Rainbow wrapped her hooves around his neck and planted her lips onto his. Sonic's hands shot up with his eyes going wide from surprise. For several long seconds, he froze; a warm and tingling sensation crawling down his body as her moist lips pressed to his. When he snapped out of his daze, he held her close and pressed against her.

After a long time of embracing, they released. His mind was clouded by the sudden rush.

"Wow." Sonic mumbled, couldn't even smile, "That… that was something."

If Rainbow was just as dazed as he was, she did a good job of hiding it.

"What?" She playfully asked, "You never kissed?"

He blankly stared at her seductive gaze, "You can't just stand there and act like you didn't kiss me out of nowhere."

She grinned, wrapping her hooves around his neck again, "So you don't want to kiss again?"

Without saying another word, he tackled her to the ground and planted one on her. When Rainbow was about to embrace him, he suddenly shot up off of her. His eyes were shot open with fear.

"What's wrong?"

Sonic suddenly shot to the mouth of the cave and gazed over the horizon. When Rainbow was about to open her mouth-

"JESUS CHRIST!"

He shot back to the very end of the cave. A hand on his chest while hyperventilating.

"Sonic," She asked, now concern, "what's going on?"

Dash was about to look out the cave until the hedgehog pulled her back by her tail.

"Don't look out there!" He shouted, "She'll see you!"

"Who?"

"…HER!"

It didn't take her a second for Rainbow Dash to realize that Sonic just made eye contact with Amy from the bottom of the waterfall.

"Wha… how did she find us?" Rainbow asked.

Sonic shook his head, "I don't know. No matter how fast I run, no matter where I hide; she always finds me. She said that we were meant to be together by destiny, Tails told me that she has a 'Sonic Radar' that can pinpoint my exact location at any moment of any day, and Knuckles told me that her fan girlish instinct reveals my location."

Rainbow began to panic, "W-w-w-how did you know she was there?"

"I FELT IT!"

They suddenly heard Amy call his name from below.

"J-j-j-j-just stay up here." Sonic whispered, charging his emeralds so he could fly down, "And whatever you do, don't leave this cave."

With a deep breath, Sonic jumped off and dived straight down. Thinking ahead, he made sure to pass the waterfall several times while making his way down. When he was just about to touch the pond below, he shot forward and landed on shore. He saw Amy standing several feet away from him with her hammer drawn.

"Amy!" Sonic shouted for her, "What are you doing over here? I thought you were at the party."

She marched right up to him and eyeballed him. Her pupils were narrowed, "That's the question I was about to ask you, Sonic!"

Sonic noticed her to be inhaling through her nose with every breath she took; defiantly not a good sign.

"Someone told me about a colorful waterfall beyond the Everfree Forest, sweetie-"

"I'm finding that hard to believe." She growled.

He knew what was going to happen next, a full fledge body check by an obsessed girl that thinks you're hers and nobody else's, and God help her if some other girl thinks otherwise will.

Let's hope that waterfall did the trick.

"Hold still." She deadpanned.

Amy suddenly grabbed his shoulders and planted her nose right on the side of his neck, inhaling deep to let his scent fill her nostrils.

Hmm… there's another scent other than Sonic's.

Checking to be sure, she raised his arms and sniffed his arm pits.

…Sweat, nervous sweat.

Sniffed his lips.

…Moist. His mouth is usually dry.

Sniffed his stomach.

...Plumped. Nothing out of the usual here.

And most importantly, she lowered her nose down and sniffed his crotch. Sonic shot his head up and covered his eyes.

…Still a virgin.

She rose, casting daggers at him and putting a hand on his arms just in case he makes any kind of mistake.

"I smell a female."

Sonic thought quickly. Amy's senses are never wrong, and saying that he didn't make contact with a female will be signing a death warrant.

"I, uh… bumped into a lot of mares inside that party when I was trying to get out, Amy."

She eyeballed him again, almost touching his face, "What are you doing over here in the first place?"

"I just wanted to be alone for a little bit. And I'm scared of Pinkie Pie, so I came over here to get away from the party."

That seemed legit… she didn't believe him, she didn't want to believe him. He's hiding something, and she knows it.

"This is awfully odd of you to use your emeralds to fly yourself out here just to get away from a stupid party."

"Like I said," Sonic reminded her, "Some pony told me about a colorful waterfall beyond that forest. So I thought I might as well check this place out while I'm getting away from Pinkie Pie."

As much Amy didn't believe him, there was no evidence contradicting his claim. She didn't recognize the strange scent on him, but like he said, he could have bumped into other mares while trying to find his way out-

Wait a minute… thinking back, she remembered his eyes disappearing when she spotted him and flying out of that spot as well. Without a word, she jogged to the very edge of the cliff and peaked on the other side of the waterfall. There was hardly any room at all for him to disappear to.

"There's something up there." She mumbled to herself.

Sonic's heart skipped a beat when he saw her looking towards the direction he came out of.

"Oh, Sonic!" She cheerfully called, grabbing his shoulder and rubbing her cheek against him, "This is such a beautiful sight. I wish I could fly up the waterfall."

"Maybe another day," He was now pulling for straws, "You'll get wet-"

She pulled out her hammer, "Take me up the waterfall, Sonic."

He sneered at her, "I have six Chaos Emeralds. You can't-"

"What if I were to come and visit you in your sleep, and then put a pillow over your head until you stop kicking!?"

He turned pale.

"Take me up the waterfall! NOW! I want us to have a romantic night!"

Finally sighing in defeat, he floated a bit and cradled her; flying in the middle of the waterfall and ascending.

The colorful water gently brushed over them as Sonic carried her upward through the stream. The hedgehog made sure to have her body pointing away from the rocks, but that's only doing so much; she can still see the other side of the waterfall just fine.

Sonic held his breath and braced himself for the worst as they neared the cave. She kept her eyes sharp and sure enough, she found the cave he flew out of. As Sonic began to pass over it, she peered inside.

…Nothing…

He continued to fly up the waterfall until he flew above it. His eyes were still closed, just waiting for her squeal of rage discovering that he's been with another female in secret.

After several seconds of hovering in the air expecting the worst… it never came.

"That," She took in a deep breath, "That was fun."

Glancing down, he saw her long face.

"Uh, I'm glad you enjoyed it." He said, "I was going to take you over here in the morning."

She sighed again.

"Sonic," She softly spoke, "I'm sorry for doubting you."

If he had eyebrows, they would be cocked.

"I didn't believe a word you said earlier, but after you took me up here," She sighed again, "I feel bad that I suspected that you would lie to me."

Sonic could feel his conscience aging him.

"W-we're friends." He stated, "Friends don't lie to each other."

She put her arms around his neck, smiling, "Boyfriends don't lie, either. Why don't you drop me back to the party… I'm a little hungry for some cake."

Nodding, he took off towards the other side of the forest.

When he dropped her off, he immediately flew back to the waterfall. Sonic's heart was twisting itself knowing he lied to Amy, even if it was for her and everyone else's own good. Even if she is unstable and the truth is unbearable, she's still a close friend to him… a deceitful friend is the worst kind.

Shaking his thoughts aside, he zipped through the waterfall and back inside the hidden cave. The pegasus has completely disappeared.

"Rainbow?" He called.

"I'm up here."

When he looked up, he found her hooves outstretched and pushing against four rocks to keep herself out of sight. This wasn't an easy stunt to pull if those rocks were just half a foot big.

With much relief, Rainbow let go and hovered back down.

"I thought I was a goner when I passed you." He sighed, "That was quick thinking on your part."

"Of course, I was watching you two the entire time up here. So I had a little warning before hoof."

Sonic blushed while the cyan pegasus gave him a sly grin.

"When you look at that from my angle, it looked like she was-"

"NO!"

---

Robotnik was seated inside a pitch black room in front of a blank T.V. screen. His hands were cupped together in anticipation.

When he saw Cyber X being swallowed alive by the lava, he didn't move, he didn't waver, and he didn't even frown.

He only smiled.

After several hours of waiting, the screen suddenly flashed bright red. A silhouette of his chair and his exposed head cast themselves at the doorway behind him. Small bubbles floated towards the front of the camera and slowly, it began to rise.

"Even the pits of Hell couldn't hold it." He mumbled, his smile stretching across his lips.

Author's notes,

Well, bit of a short chapter, but it finally happened! They finally kissed! And God I cannot express how awkward it was to write.

Just to share a funny story with everyone…Have your parents found out that you're a brony, or at least watched the show? Well my father, who happens to be a preacher; found Fluttershy on my desktop…Things didn't go to well. He threatened to preach on the ponies if he saw it again.

And I don't want to imagine what he'll do if they found out I've been writing fanfiction devoted to those characters.

Uh, Anyways, I have a couple of announcements to make. For those waiting for the next bonus…I have some good news and some bad news.

Bad news is it's going to be delayed, and will be split into two parts due to its length.

Good news? My efforts are being directed towards something else, A new and original MLP fan fiction shall be born very soon! I'm not going to post it just on this sight, I'm going to post it on FIM and if possible Equestia Daily. I'm plotting it right now, and it's unlike anything the fandom has ever seen!

Original, no. You can thank Organization VI for harvesting this idea first (Just look her up on her fanfiction page and look up Those Lacking Spines. Seriously, people. Go read it! You don't know what you're missing!)…But completely different from the crap Bronies post every single freakin' day. I am getting so sick and tired of seeing so many Humans going to Equestia stories, Yuri, Clop, and every single story of somepony going crazy and killing all of their friends. Pinkie is getting so tired of hearing that garbage! Where is the creativity?

Someone has to stand up to this crap, and by God I'll be the one to do it!

Uh, anyways; signing out…Even if I am working on another fanfiction, this will, I repeat THIS WILL STAY ON SCHEDULE! Don't worry about this being abandoned.

Sorry that I had to squeeze in a little bit XD I just wanna add a weeeee bit of things! First off… Harry, if I were you I wouldn't feel awkward at all writing the kissing scene. The scene was waiting to happen, and I'm sure the readers will love it ^_^ I certainly do *winks*

Grr… I really… REALLY hope I did a better job to slice the typo demon today… grr.. BLAST YOU EVIL DEMON! *stomps the bejeezus out of the demonic flesh before they try to merge together and screw up the story*

And this is to our friend

Psychochiken… *laughs* calling me the flying demon monkey? My God that was really funny XD Maybe I'll use that as a name instead of Beta Reader until I decide my real name XP Incase you didn't notice, people pirated and uploaded the Equestria Girls movie on youtube, so the folks living too far from the selected theaters (or people who are too impatient to wait until the DVD comes out), will have a chance to see it. I'm not sure about the quality (didn't bother to look), but they're up there. And one more thing… I'm not a dude, I'm a chick. At least that's ONE thing I've revealed about myself today XD XP

Anyways, that will be it for my… hehe… notes… God bless everyone, and have a great holiday!

Beta Read… wait a minute… *erases her name… scribbles the new name*

Flying Demon Monkey

Yay, better! Take care!

One more note from me and my dear beta reader. If some stranger finds out that you're a brony, don't be ashamed. If you find yourself persecuted because of it, just turn the other cheek and shrug it off. Trust me, there's nothing that'll show your maturity more than to simply turn the other cheek.

Just read the bible.

"You have heard that it has been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. But I say unto you. That you resist not evil (do not reward evil with evil): but whosoever shall smite you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue you at the law, and take away your coat, let him have your cloak also. And whosoever shall compel you to go a mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks of you, and from him who would borrow of you turn not you away.

You have heard that it has been said, You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy. But I say unto you. Love your enemies, bless them who curse you, do good to them who hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. That you may be the Children of your Father which is in Heaven: for He makes His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love them which love you, what reward have you? Do not even the publicans so? And if you salute your Breathren only, what do you more than others? Do not even the publicans so?"

Mathew 5: 38-47

Jesus's quotes when he was teaching on a mountain.

Show love…Never intolerance towards anybody, even towards those who persecute you.

I'm always praying for all of my readers for a blessed life and an eye to see. God Bless!

Harry.
