Sonic: Strange Friends And Weird Foes
Chapter 5: Preparations
Previous Chapter Next ChapterRainbow Dash happily flew away from Night Babylon. Another special thing about people with wings was that they had the ability to walk on clouds. With this talent, the winged people had created houses in the sky, seperating them from the other people. Rainbow Dash flew up to her house with a smile on her face.
"I can't believe I didn't notice this until now." Rainbow Dash said, thinking about Sonic. It was then that there was a knock at her door. Rainbow Dash walked to the door and opened it wide, with Fluttershy standing in the doorway.
"You didn't come back with Twilight, so I thought I would find you here." Fluttershy said quietly.
Rainbow Dash smiled at her friend and said, "Well, I'm fine, in fact, I'm better than fine."
"What happened?" Fluttershy asked with a confused look.
Rainbow Dash twirled into her house and said, "Sonic saved me."
"So?"
"He hurt himself saving me. Plus, when we got out, he didn't scold me or anything. He just smiled as if nothing had happened and walked off."
"So?"
"What do you mean so? He risked his life to save me and didn't even care that he got hurt. Don't you understand?"
"Considering I have yet to really fall in love, I don't really understand what you're talking about."
Rainbow Dash seemed like she was about to get angry, but cooled off and said, "I need to know whether or not he likes me back, and you're going to help me."
Fluttershy looked surprised. "Why me?"
"You're the one who's here right now, and the only one who can set foot in my house to help me."
Fluttershy sighed at her friend and quietly agreed to help. Rainbow Dash grinned and pulled Fluttershy into her room. The two then began to pick out some clothes for Rainbow Dash to wear to impress Sonic. They planned to throw a a celebration in honor of Sonic's victory. However, they might have said the word party one too many times.
"Did somebody say party?" Pinkie Pie shouted. Both Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy jumped into the air from fear and surprise.
"Pinkie, how did you get in here?" Rainbow Dash shouted.
"It's one of my super powers, when someone says party, then I have the chance to appear!" Pinkie Pie responded. Neither Rainbow Dash nor Fluttershy were completely sure if she was telling the truth, but Pinkie was someone that no one could understand.
Once Fluttershy had regained her composure, she said, "We're trying to plan a party thanking Sonic for helping Twilight and Rainbow Dash escape from Eggman's base."
Pinkie Pie gasped and jumped into the air over and over. "You're right! We should throw a party to celebrate!" With that said, Pinkie ran out of Rainbow Dash's door and to wherever it was that she went to plan her parties.
"Anyway, are you sure that Sonic will like this?" Rainbow Dash asked nervously.
"I'm not really sure. I don't really know what Sonic really likes." Fluttershy said.
"Well, I hope he likes it." Rainbow Dash sighed.
Meanwhile, Twilight was also swooning over the blue hero.
"Twilight, dear, are you sure you're alright?" Rarity asked.
"I'm perfectly fine." Twilight said.
"Are y'all sure?" Applejack asked.
"You have been acting strange since you got back." Rarity said.
Twilight smiled at the two and said, "Have you ever felt really good from an unfortunate accident?"
Applejack had a look of concern on her face. "Did you hit your head when you went through the portal."
Twilight's face lit up as she said, "Maybe if I did, Sonic would have carried me here and be taking care of me right now."
Rarity had a knowing smile on her face after that statement. "I believe that I know what's going on here."
Applejack, however, continued to look confused. "I'm sorry did I miss something?"
Rarity grabbed Twilight's arm and sat her down on the couch. "When did you figure it out."
"When he took a bullet to save me." Twilight said with a distant look in her eyes.
"You mean metaphorically right?"
"No, he actually pushed me out of the path of a bullet and got hit."
Rarity clasped her hands together and said, "I see exactly why you fell for him. We need to make him yours!"
Applejack, who finally caught onto what was going on, said, "Well how are we going to do that?" And that was when three pink envelopes were slipped under the door. Applejack walked over and picked them up.
"These look like the invitations Pinkie normally sends out for a party." Applejack said after examining them. She then gave one envelope to each girl. They all opened them, and confetti flew into their faces. Inside of the envelopes were invitations to a party celebrating the groups successful escape from Eggman's base. The party was going to be held at Sugarcube Corner.
"This is perfect!" Rarity shouted. "We can get you all dressed up and you can impress Sonic!"
Twilight's eyes sparkled. "This will be perfect, Sonic will have fallen for me by the end of the night!"
Applejack sighed, "I might as well help since I'm here." Rarity grabbed the other two girls' arms and pulled them out of Twilight's house towards her boutique.
In Tails's lab, Sonic was leaning back in a recliner while Tails worked on his latest invention. Two pink envelopes were slipped under the door to the lab. After reading the letter inside, Tails told Sonic about the party.
Sonic grinned and said, "Well, what's stopping us from going?" When he stood up, he put a hand on the bandages that covered his newly acquired wound.
"Are you sure you're up for this?" Tails asked.
"Of course, besides, the party's being thrown in our honor. We can't miss something like this."
"Alright, then let's get ready and go." Sonic nodded and walked into one of the rooms in the lab, preparing for the party.
