Later, that day, Sonic explained everything to the girls about himself. He told them that he was a hedgehog, where he was from, how he got here, what the Chaos Emeralds were, and he told them about his battles with Dr. Eggman.

After he finished, the girls, even Twilight and Spike were amazed. "Whoa…" the crusaders said.

"That is amazing, darling! You're like a hero or a knight in shining armor!" Rarity said as she was blushing.

"Wow, so you're really a talking hedgehog. You're more amazing than I thought," Fluttershy said with her cheeks turning bright crimson.

"Yeah! You're like a Super-Duper super hero!" Pinkie said with her smile still up bright.

"Hmm…" Applejack said as she looked over him again to see if he said any lies, "Y-you really are telling the truth."

"So you're not mad that I'm a talking animal from another world?" Sonic asked.

"How can we be mad when we have an awesome friend from another world?" Rainbow asked as she wrapped her arm around Sonic.

This made Sonic turn his head towards Rainbow. But when that happened, Sonic's face was right in front of Rainbow's. They both then moved a seat away from each other while blushing.

"Well, that was awkward. Anyway, have I mentioned that there are so many other types of animals that talk in my world?" Sonic asked.

Fluttershy gasped, "You have many talking animals in your world? Oh, I would love to go there."

"So, Sonic," Twilight began, "Do you remember your family?"

"Yeah, but I don't know my father. He abandoned my mother after I was born," Sonic answered.

"Who is your mother?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"Heh, my mother? Well, she's Queen Aleena, queen of Mobotropolis," Sonic said.

The girls gasped at what he just said. "So your mom is a queen?" Rarity asked, "Then that means you're a… a…"

Sonic scratched his head, "Yes, I am Prince Sonic of Mobotropolis. But I didn't want to rule a kingdom and be given so much respect. So I left the kingdom as a freedom fighter, and my siblings, Sonia and Manic, took over for me."

"Now why were you named Sonic?" Rainbow asked.

Sonic smirked, "Watch this."

Then, in a flash he ran off surprising the girls and in a split second, he came back with a chilly dog in his hand.

"Awesome!" Rainbow cheered.

"Hey, Sonic, I'd like to know about this," Applejack started, "How were you able to drink all of that apple cider yesterday?"

"Hyperactive metabolism," Sonic answered.

"What in the hay does that mean?" Applejack asked again.

"It means I can't get drunk, even if I wanted to," Sonic said.

"Darling, may I see that ring and gem that you had in the video?" Rarity asked.

Sonic then threw his chilly dog high into the air. It rose so high it looked like it went into space. Sonic then took his backpack off, opened it and took out one of the rings. As Rarity took it and looked at it with awe, Sonic held his hand out and the chilly dog he threw landed in his hand with him catching it. Then Sonic started to eat the chilly dog.

"My word, this ring is made of pure gold," Rarity said

The other girls, except Twilight and Spike gasped.

"How many of these do you have?" Scootaloo asked.

"Well, right now I have only twenty in total with me, but back at home, there are way more," Sonic said.

"H-how many are you talking about?" Rarity asked stammering.

"Well, from what I do know, in every different zone there is in my world, there are over thousands of them," Sonic answered.

Rarity dropped the ring with her jaw dropped. She then gasped as she placed her hand on her head and fainted but Sonic caught her before she hit the ground.

"RARITY!" Sweetie Belle yelled as she ran over to her sister.

Rarity then instantly woke up, which actually surprised Sonic a little. "My goodness, I'm so sorry, darling. I've just never heard of so many of those rings before," she said.

"It's no big deal," Sonic said.

"What about the Emerald?" Pinkie asked.

Sonic dug into his backpack again and took out the blue Emerald. Now Rarity's eyes were more wide open.

"Oh my, it's so gorgeous," Rarity said as her hand slowly began to reach out for it.

Rarity's hand was right about to touch it, but Sonic quickly moved it away from her before she could even touch it. Rarity was confused, "What's wrong, darling?"

"I'm sorry, Rarity," Sonic said, "But I cannot allow you to take the Chaos Emerald."

"Why?" Rarity asked.

"There is no knowing what might happen to you if you touch it," Sonic explained, "Each of the Chaos Emeralds harness incredible power that cannot be controlled by normal people. If you touch it, it could rupture your mind and cause you to lose control over yourself. It would also give you uncontrollable powers that would allow you to destroy this world."

Rarity went wide-eyed in fear and backed up. She was now afraid of the Emerald, "Well, thanks for the heads-up, but what do you mean 'each'? Are there more than one of these kinds of Emeralds?"

Sonic dug into his backpack and pulled out the rest of the emeralds make the girls gasp. Rarity's eyes widened with awe. Then Sonic let the emeralds out of his hands and they all hovered into the air in front of them all while moving in a circle. That surprised the girls even more.

"Incredible," Apple Bloom said.

"Ooh! How shiny and magical!" Pinkie said.

"Heh, I know, they're amazing, right?" Sonic asked as he put the emeralds away.

"And the green one even matches your eyes, Sonic!" Scootaloo said.

"So Applejack, what are you doing here?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Applejack looked at everyone before turning back to Rainbow Dash, "Um, maybe we should talk about this in private?"

Rainbow Dash hesitantly nodded and left the bleachers with Applejack, they began to explain what really went on between them and why their friendship ended the way it did. Sonic sat down on the bleachers with the crusaders who were asking him more questions.

"They're actually talking! That's a good sign," Rarity said while watching RD and AJ converse.

After Rainbow and Applejack finished their talk, they hugged each other, which meant what happened between them is all water under the bridge now.

"Hugs! Oh, hugs are always good!" Pinkie exclaimed.

Rainbow Dash and Applejack walked back over the bleachers.

"Somebody, and Ah think we can all guess who…" Applejack began, "…told Rainbow Dash that my bake sale had been moved to a different day. Dash showed up with all the softball team and thought I cancelled on her."

Rainbow Dash walked up to Twilight, "So, you're looking to dethrone Sunset Shimmer and become Princess of the Fall Formal, huh?"

Twilight looked away for a moment but turned back to Rainbow Dash and nodded with a nervous smile.

Rainbow Dash began kicking a soccer ball in the air a few times, "Gotta say, I'd really love to see that happen," she said as she let the ball hit the ground and placed her foot on it.

"I'll totally help you out," Rainbow Dash said.

Twilight then had a hopeful smile, but that then changed to a worried frown when Rainbow Dash said, "All you gotta do, is beat me in a game of one-on-one."

"What?" Twilight asked.

"First to five goals wins," Rainbow Dash said as she kicked the ball around her, bouncing it off her head, and kicking it in midair into the goal, "One-zip!"

Twilight had a shocked look on her face, but the two began their game. Rainbow Dash charged at her goal, kicking the soccer ball, while Twilight was acting as a goalie with her legs shaking. Rainbow kicked the ball right behind her right foot and spun in midair, kicking the ball towards the goal with her left foot. Twilight panicked and ducked her head before the ball hit her. Rainbow Dash scored another goal. The score was Rainbow Dash-2 to Twilight-0.

Twilight and all her friends, especially Sonic were nervous. Without Rainbow's help, they'd never be able to return the crown to its rightful owner. Rainbow Dash walked past Twilight and threw the ball in front of her feet. Twilight had a confident smile and was about to kick it, but Rainbow Dash swiped it away with her right foot, tossed it in the air behind her, and kicked it into the goal again with the bottom of her foot, making the score 3-0. She smiled while throwing her arms in the air. She now had three points while Twilight still had zero.

"Hey, isn't that che-?!" Sonic started, but was silenced by an orange hand that covered his mouth.

"Never question her," Scootaloo whispered menacingly.

When she took her hand off of Sonic's mouth, all Sonic could do was nothing but just sigh in disappointment.

The game continued on as the ball was now in Twilight's possession. As she ran towards her goal, Rainbow Dash came out of nowhere and took the ball away from Twilight, who screeched to a halt as she turned to see her opponent give the ball a good high-kick, sending it into the goal and making the score; Rainbow Dash-4 to Twilight-0.

"This is NOT good," Sonic thought worried.

Now Rainbow Dash was just playing around, kicking the ball into the air twice with her knee, the bottom of her foot when it was behind her, and high-kicked behind her, into Twilight's face and fell in front of her. Twilight smiled as she saw an opportunity and rushed the ball to the goal. Her friends quickly became excited, thinking that she could kick the ball into the net.

Sonic smiled hopefully, "C'mon, Twilight… almost there!"

Twilight was confident that she'd score this time, but as she tried to kick, and too hard we must say, she just missed the ball and fell on her back. The ball rolled right in front of Rainbow Dash, who somehow made her way to the goal, looked down at it and gave it a good, powerful high-kick, and it sailed into the goal. The final score was, Rainbow Dash-5 to Twilight-0.

It was clear Twilight lost. Rainbow Dash was jumping with joy, while Twilight was lying on the ground panting from exhaustion. "Huff… huff… huff…" Twilight panted.

"That's game!" Rainbow Dash declared while looking down at Twilight.

Twilight's friends and Spike came down from the stands and looked down at Twilight with frowns upon their faces. Scootaloo cheered for Rainbow Dash.

Sonic became furious. He stood up, turned around and slammed his fist on the bleacher, surprising the crusaders and causing Scootaloo to stop cheering. "DARN IT! Now what are we going to do?!" he shouted.

"Sonic, there's no need to get angry," Sweetie Belle said as Apple Bloom and Scootaloo walked down to the group, "Please, just calm down."

Sonic just sighed in great defeat. He knew that if he couldn't help Twilight, there would also be no way from him to find his way home.

"I really thought you were gonna pull it off in the end," Rarity said while laughing sheepishly, earning herself a glare from Applejack, Pinkie Pie, an upset look from Fluttershy, and a quizzical look from Rainbow Dash.

Rarity then turned to see Sonic standing on the bleacher with his fist clenched and Sweetie Belle talking to him. Rainbow Dash then held out her hand to help Twilight up, "So what's the plan? How can I help you to Princess instead of Sunset Shimmer?"

Sonic perked up and turned by what he heard Rainbow Dash say.

Twilight soon got onto her feet with Rainbow Dash helping her, "But I… I lost."

"Of course you lost. I'm awesome," Rainbow started, "but I'm not gonna just help anybody try to beat Sunset Shimmer. The Fall Formal Princess should be with heart and determination."

Twilight had a bright smile on her face, knowing that there was hope as Rainbow Dash finished, "You proved you've got them both."

She then pulled Twilight into a hug. Everyone cheered at Rainbow Dash's words, while Pinkie was jumping ecstatically. Sonic smiled and Sweetie Belle placed her hand on his shoulder. "You see, Sonic? No need to be mad."

As Twilight and her friends were celebrating, they didn't notice was they were being watched the entire time, by Sunset Shimmer, Snips, and Snails. The boys snickered when they showed Sunset what they had on their phones. Sunset developed a sinister grin until she head a buzzing sound from above her. She looked up and saw a robot that looked like a large bee. She grabbed Snips and Snails and hid them and herself in the shadows of where they were hiding.

Sweetie Belle noticed the drone and asked Sonic while pointing at it, "Hey, what's that?"

Sonic turned around and recognized it, "It's a Badnik!" he shouted getting everyone's attention.

The Bee Badnik pointed its stinger at Sonic and Sweetie Belle. It then shot a yellow laser at them. Thinking quickly, Sonic grabbed Sweetie Belle and jumped in the air off of the bleachers before the laser hit them. Sonic did a dozen backflips in the air and landed on his feet. Sweetie Belle got dizzy. She placed her hand on the side of her head and moaned while her eyes swirled out of control.

"Sorry about that," Sonic said as he put Sweetie Belle down who shook her head from her dizziness.

Before Sonic could do anything else, the Bee Badnik shot another laser and it was heading right at him. Sonic quickly grabbed his beam sword, activated it, and swung it at the laser, reflecting it and sending it back towards the Bee Badnik. Its laser hit it and it exploded. Sonic then turned his beam sword off, put it away and turned to Sweetie Belle, "You okay?"

Rarity was surprised that Sonic saved her sister, just like he saved Applejack's. She then walked over to him with a happy look on her face. Sweetie Belle smiled at Sonic, "Yeah, just never experienced that much spinning before."

She then saw her big sister was right behind Sonic. "Um, Sonic…" Sweetie Belle started.

"Yeah?" Sonic asked as Rarity was reaching for his shoulder.

"Rarity's about to-!" Sweetie Belle's warning was cut off as Rarity grabbed Sonic's shoulder, turned him around, and gave him a big kiss on his cheek.

"…Kiss you," Sweetie Belle said with a worried look on her face.

Sonic was a little less shocked than he was when Applejack kissed him.

"Whoa, what was that for, Rarity? Why did you just kiss me?" Sonic asked blushing.

"That was for saving my sister, that's all," Rarity answered while blushing.

Rainbow Dash just rolled her eyes. Then Sonic's ear was caught by a sound. He looked and saw something inside the smoke from the Badnik. He rushed towards it, put his hands in the smoke, and took them out revealing a baby brown Mobian Squirrel in his hands.

Fluttershy gasped as she came towards Sonic and the Mobian Squirrel, "Oh, my goodness! Are you all right, little guy?"

"He's okay," Sonic said, "Oh, Fluttershy, this is one of the many creatures from my world; one of the young squirrels."

"Can I hold it?" Fluttershy asked.

Sonic handed Fluttershy the squirrel. It chirped happily as it used its little arms to hug Fluttershy's neck, but it felt soft and Fluttershy patted the little Mobian on its head and held it in her arms, "Oh, you're so adorable, little guy."

Rainbow then just remembered something. She walked over to Sonic and asked, "Hey, Sonic?"

"Yeah? Sonic asked.

"May I ask you something?" Rainbow asked.

"Sure," Sonic said listening.

"You see, I've heard that you became the top weight lifter, and the fastest student yesterday," Rainbow started, "Is that true?"

"It is," Applejack said to Rainbow, "I saw it all."

Rainbow Dash then turned to Sonic and asked, "So, Sonic, you wanna play?"

"You mean like you did with Twilight?" Sonic asked.

"Actually, no," Rainbow started, "You see, I heard that you became the most popular guy around here yesterday. And I saw that video."

"You did, huh?" Sonic asked.

"Yeah, and you see, I got jealous," Rainbow Dash, "When I heard that you broke my record, I became furious about that."

Sonic then knew what was going to happen. He turned his head to Applejack and said, "You see, Applejack? I told you she would hate me."

"I don't hate you, Sonic," Rainbow Dash said.

"Wait, you're not mad now?"" Sonic asked.

"Well, when I saw you fighting those robots with all those skills and moves, I was impressed," Rainbow said as she placed her hands on her hips, "So I want to see what you're made of."

"So let me guess," Sonic started, "You want to fight? If that is so, I won't do it. I don't hit girls."

"Why? You too scared to fight a girl?" Rainbow Dash asked challenging him.

"NO! I don't want to embarrass you!" Sonic shouted, but then placed his hands on his head, "Oh, why did I just say that?!"

THAT made Rainbow angry, "That's it! We're fighting right now!"

She charged at Sonic and tried to force her foot at his stomach, but Sonic quickly cart wheeled himself away from her. He then stood up.

"C'mon, Sonic! I want to know what you're made of," Rainbow Dash said.

"Well, how skilled are you?" Sonic asked.

"She's a black belt in karate in Canterlot Kickalot," Scootaloo answered for him.

Sonic perked up at that. He then thought about doing this… to impress her. He then said to Rainbow Dash smirking, "Well, I do know a little bit of Capoeira, which is dancing and fighting. So, I would say that you just want to dance with me."

Rainbow blushed, while the other girls started to laugh, but she shouted, "This is NOT a dance stupid, now fight me!"

"Okay, here I come!" Sonic smirked as he charged at her.
