Crystal Empire Side-Story

By: Erinbubble92

Summary: Side story to the Crystal Kingdom part 1 and 2. The Magix Girls, Tails, Jack, and Alyssa go help the mane six save a Crystal Kingdom but some of them have problems; Tails and Erin are arguing, SG is holding a grudge since the wedding, and Jack is infected by King Sombra's crystals.

At Erin's house, she was trying on some big fancy hats Rarity gave her. She puts one on with feathers in it and examines.

"Nah!" Erin shook her head, throwing it on the ground. She puts one that Rarity wore at the Wonderbolt's Derby with Fancy Pants. "No way!"

As Erin put one on with a veil in front of her face her phone ring. Erin picks the phone up and answers as she puts it on speaker.

"Hello?" Erin asked, taking the hat off.

"Hi Erin, it's me." Tails' voice called.

"Oh hi Tails." Erin replied happily, putting a small top hat with see-through fabric ribbons.

"What are you doing right now?"

"Trying on some new hats."

"Why?"

"Trying out a new look. It was Rarity's idea."

"Oh. Can we talk about us?"

"Sure."

"Can you stop going on adventures so we can spend more time with each other?"

"Oh, ok. After I visit Ponyville we can go to Sweet Apple Acres for some…"

"What? I specifically told you to stop going on your trips."

"You said adventures, you didn't say trips."

"That's the problem with you Erin, you visit places and meet new people and never spend time with me!"

"That's not true! I love you still, I dated you still."

"When was our last date together?"

Erin was silent as she thinks for a minute.

"At the wedding and after I rescued you from Evil Sonic with Gibson, Ed, and Sora."

"Oh, those two…"

"Erin, I miss you. I'm tired of telling you its ok and waiting for you."

"I'm sorry Tails."

"Well I'll let go my anger due because you are sensitive but if you go on another adventure, we're through!"

Erin gasped silently, shaking sensitively.

"Well… if you have any plans let me know. Bye."

After the phone hung up, Erin slowly turns her phone away. She was shaking and sweating like crazy. She puts her hand near her cheek to think of an idea for their perfect non-adventurous date. If it isn't then she and Tails are through! Suddenly her phone burst up and magical pop out a letter making Erin scream and fall into the pile of hats. Erin got out and saw the letter. She grabs the letter and reads it.

"Erin, please come to Ponyville immediately, it is very important. Bring SG, her brother, the girls, Alyssa, and you're boyfriend along. I need all the encouragement I need for an important test." Erin reads. She gulps as she held her chest. Another adventure? Oh man, Tails is gonna kill her. "Another adventure? Oh man, Tails is gonna kill me!" Isn't that what I just said? "I await for your arrival. Sign Twilight Sparkle."

Erin drops the letter with nervousness. She bites her down lip thinking of something. What's she going to do? Tell Tails it's another adventure and have their love torn apart or not go and disappoint Twilight or make a fake excuse for Tails it's a exciting date? What to do, what to do? Erin snaps her fingers making a decision.

"I'm going to tell Tails it's a date and an encouragement for Twilight's test and call my friends!" Erin grabbed her phone and called SG first. "SG? Grab your charm and brother, we're going to Ponyville!"

Erin and SG arrived in Ponyville with Jack (SG's brother), Alyssa, Candace, Akira, Hibiki, Kanade, Hummy, Kitty, Kim, Konata, Wendy, Louise, Miyuki, Ami, Yumi, and Tails.

Erin is wearing an oversized half magenta, half pink shirt with purple sleeves, blue jeans, and black boots. Alyssa is wearing a red jumper over pink short sleeve frilly shirt, pink stockings and black Mary Jane's.

Tails is not too happy right now as Erin titled her hat. Her hat is a sun hat like Rairty's only it was wisteria-colored with a lavender pink ribbon, a turquoise gem incest by a golden rim within the ribbon. Erin nervously hummed Josie and the Pussycats Theme. SG and Alyssa notice as they went to Erin.

"Erin-senpai, what's wrong?" Alyssa asked.

"Me and Tails got into an argument." Erin answer.

"That's very bad."

"Oh no. That's not good, you and Tails-onii-chan are so close, you guys never break up or argue." Alyssa said. "What happen?"

Erin looks at Tails who is talking to Jack. Erin took her hat which her ponytail pop up back into a high ponytail quick, went to SG's and Alyssa's ear, cover their faces, and Erin whispers. After that Erin puts her back on revealing Alyssa and SG's shock faces.

"Uh-oh!" SG and Alyssa gasped.

Erin nodded,, tilting her hat down.

"Hey, where's Mavis?" Wendy asked.

Suddenly they hear rustling in the bushes making everyone jump and prepare for what's gonna happen. Then a computer with arms and wheels for legs appeared. Mavis's body appeared on the screen.

"Hey girls." Mavis on the screen called.

"Mavis?" Everyone asked.

"Mavis?" Alyssa, Tails, and Jack asked.

"Hi, I'm Mavis. You must Erin and SG's friends." Mavis said to Tails and Alyssa. When she saw Jack she freaked out. "Holy rabies, holy rabies! It's Jack Skellington! It's very nice to meet you!"

"Mavis, look at you. You look more and more like your mother everyday." Jack told her smiling. "How's Drac?"

"Dad? He's fine." Mavis answered. She then went to the girls. "Girls, sorry I couldn't come due to being bright and sunny in Ponyville. So Kim install this computer so I can contact you girls. After all I am a vampire."

"Oh Mavis." SG sighed.

"Hey don't sweat it. Maybe you can find a magic item or something as we travel." Mavis said as the arms do her arm movements.

"Ok, let's go." Alyssa smiled.

As everyone arrived in Ponyville, they found Twilight's library tree.

"Whoa, it's amazing!" Mavis said in awe.

"Yeah it's a beauty," Kanade smiled.

Suddenly magic burst and explode as the library tree went up in the air with Twilight's growl in frustration. When the tree landed, the group fell over.

"What the heck-?" Akira asked.

The mane six came out and saw the group.

"Let me guess…" SG asked until all of them asked, "Twilight!"

"Yes!" The mane six replied together.

Erin, Alyssa, SG, and Spike are waiting outside for Twilight while the others are at the train station.

"Erin, I'm sure Tails will come around." SG told Erin who looks upset. "You don't have to be with him all the time."

"That's just it. I don't hang with him a lot anymore as well as Alyssa so I decided to hang out with him and Alyssa more by proving their important." Erin explained.

"I know, senpai." Alyssa said, patting Erin's shoulder.

"Tails will come and go."

"Doubt it." Erin sighed with doubt.

"Yeah maybe everyone will think Twilight will do fine unlike the wedding incident." SG growled.

Spike sighed, "SG, let it go!"

The door open and Spike jumped up with excitement but Twilight has her head lowered.

"Ah! Twilight! That was fast! Let me guess, you got a perfect score?" Spike asked, poking her nose.

Twilight just walked away, confusing Spike and the girls.

"A-minus?" Spike asked. No answer making his arm go down. "B-plus?"

Twilight just stopped with her head down sadly. Spike gasped hoping it's not what he thinks it is?

"Twilight, did you…" Spike looks around left to right. "(quietly) fail?"

Erin and SG gasped while Alyssa half-fainted but Erin grabbed her and pushed her up. Twilight turns to Spike and the girls for a bit. A song begins to play as she sings and walks off.

Spike gets up quick and follows her with a smile. The girls smiled at each other and followed them.

Twilight: I was prepared to do my best

Thought I could handle any test

For I can do so many tricks

But I wasn't prepared for this

We view Canterlot castle and town. Now we see ponies walking by minding their business. Twilight, Spike, Erin, Alyssa, and SG walk by a tea shop. The waiter gave a female blue pony tea. Twilight's magic lifted the cup and pot to pour tea from the pot to the cup.

Twilight: Levitation would have been a breeze

Facts and figures I recite with ease

Twilight sat down and recite a figure, "The square root of five hundred and forty-six is twenty-three point three six six six four two eight nine one zero nine."

Next to her inside the building, the teacher wrote all of Twilight's numbers.

"She is correct!" The teacher said.

Spike's eyes widen and Erin and SG whistled with impression.

"You can whistle that again." Alyssa spoke.

Erin and SG whistled with impression again. Twilight picks up Spike and spins him.

Twilight: I could ace a quiz on friendship's bliss

But I wasn't prepared for this

Twilight runs up to an edge of a castle and looks up as the wind blew through her mane and tail.

Will I fail, or will I pass?

I can't be sure...

Spike: She can't be sure...

Twilight used her magic to make her go from the ground to one lily pad, then the next, then the third, and the fourth.

Twilight: My mind is sharp, my skills intact

My heart is pure...

Spike and Alyssa: Her heart is pure...

Twilight is in the town streets, jumping up and flipping her hair. Spike dances ballet and jumps up, Erin, Alyssa, and SG grabbed each other's hand and twirls around like a ribbon and spins around Twilight.

Twilight: Oh, I've taken my share of licks

I've made it through the thin and thick

But no I wasn't

Spike and SG: Oh no, she wasn't

Twilight: Oh no, I wasn't

Spike and Erin: Oh no, she wasn't

Twilight: No I wasn't

Twilight, Spike, Erin, Alyssa, and SG: Prepared... for this!

Twilight finishes her song as she twirls and raised her hoof up and the camera zoomed away from her to view Canterlot like Hunchback of Notre Dame song Out There.

Twilight, with her head lowered again, arrives at the train station with Spike, Erin, SG, and Alyssa. Spike was confused on what Twilight was saying.

"Uh, prepared for what, exactly?" Spike asked.

"Yeah, what?" Alyssa asked, shrugging.

Before Twilight could answer, "Twilight!" Applejack called. She pounces and grabs Twilight's neck. "Did you pass?"

"Yeah did yah?!" Kanade asked, excited.

Pinkie Pie came out knocking Spike and Erin with her party cannon.

"Are we gonna celebrate your awesomeness with Princess Celestia?" Pinkie Pie asked. When the cannon fired, she shoot up with it as well.

"Not quite." Twilight answered.

The streamers and sprinklers rushed back in and Pinkie fell on the ground.

"We're going to the Crystal Empire!" Twilight shouted with determination.

"Huh?" All of them asked, confused.

"Crystal what?" Rainbow Dash asked.

On the train, the ponies sat in one room and the others sat in the other room. Erin and Tails are sitting far from each other. Erin was sadden but Tails was a bit not too happy. The others look concern about it.

"What's with them?" Mavis asked.

"She and Tails are an item." Wendy respond. "Cool huh?"

"What happen?" Kitty asked.

"Senpai and onii-chan got into a fight." Alyssa answered. "He thinks her adventures and missions are more important to her then him."

"No way!" Hibiki and Jack cried.

"Yes way." Alyssa nodded sadly.

"That can't be right." Kim said. "They've been dating for years."

"Well they did in the wedding which some of the mane six should listen to Twilight about Cadance to begin with." SG explained a bit grumpy.

"SG, let it go." Jack told her.

"So glad we weren't involved." Hibiki said. "But in a good way."

"Yeah since we never want to choose sides." Louise said making Hibiki, Kanade, Hummy, Wendy, Kim, Kitty, Louise, Miyuki, Ami, Yumi, and Mavis nodded glad they didn't get involve so they didn't choose sides. "I'm glad we got to meet them before you girls showed up after Twilight's test."

"She didn't pass a test yet." Alyssa spoke.

"Oh right." Louise nodded.

"Still they shoulda listen." SG said.

"SG, let it go!" Alyssa begged.

Erin sighed briefly turning to Tails. She turns back around looking at the snow outside her window.

"Erin, we've been meaning to ask you something." SG asked.

"What is it?" Erin asked.

"What's with the hat?" Alyssa asked. "I thought you don't like fancy schmancy clothes."

Erin looks at her hat as she felt the ribbons.

"Oh, uh… I'm just… trying out a new look, it was Rarity's idea." Erin explained.

Rarity briefly appeared, "RAH-LLY it is!" and zoomed off.

Tails turns to Erin who fixed her hat when it fell. Tails giggled but sadly turns away. Jack notices this and walks to him.

"Tails, you gotta make it up to her somehow. She cares about you more then anything." Jack told him. "I realized Sally was more dear to me when I realized it myself."

"But…"

"Now Tails, don't be modest. Think about Erin instead of her being selfish."

"Erin is never selfish."

"Then keep thinking about that."

Tails nodded as he turns to the sad Erin looking out the window. Tails smiles at her and nods.
