//------------------------------// // This is Our Big Night // Story: Sonic High // by sonicdash759 //------------------------------// The next morning and the last day for Twilight and Sonic, Everyone at school was now wearing the Wondercolt uniform, showing their school spirit and thinking about changing their votes to Twilight. The girls along with Sonic’s group walked through the halls, looking around in confidence. Twilight may actually have a chance after all. “Doesn’t everyone look just fabulous?” Rarity asked. Twilight nodded. “It was a great idea Rarity!” Dan Green/Knuckles smiled. “Twilight’s popularity sure is skyrocketing now!” Suddenly, smiles turned into frowns as Sunset Shimmer and her dim-witted sidekicks approached. “Don’t know what she’s smiling about. Twilight’s gonna be the Princess of Fall Formal.” Applejack said. As the 3 troublemakers passed, they shot ominous and unwelcoming looks at Sonic and Twilight before Sunset Shimmer knocked on the door to Vice Principal Luna’s office. Immediately, Luna stepped out to see Sunset’s innocent and angelic face. “Vice Principal Luna, something terrible has happened!” she announced, faking a look of worry. “Terrible? Care to show me?” Luna asked. Sunset Shimmer nodded before leading the Vice Principal to the gymnasium. Later at Carousel Boutique, Sonic and the gang had decided to skip the last 2 periods and prepare for the Fall Formal. Sonic was busy trying on a new pair of shoes that had a striking resemblance to the ones back on Mobius. “Hmm...They look just like the ones I’m wear- Oh...I mean, They’re awesome! I love how the buckle is real gold!” he commented. Rarity smiled, pleased by his thoughts. “They just came in yesterday. Although...They’re pretty pricey.” she added. Suddenly, Twilight burst through the front door before rushing into one of the fitting rooms. “Everything Ok in there?” Rarity asked. “Yes!” Twilight said, hiding her panic. Amy, who was busy trying on some boots knew very well something was up. “I don’t think she’s ok...Something’s terribly wrong.” she assumed. Moments later, Twilight pushed the curtain aside as she gathered her courage and dignity. Sonic and the others stared at her in worry and confusion. “Twilight?” “You ok?” Applejack asked. “The Fall Formal isn’t happening tonight.” announced the violet haired girl. “WHAT?!” Pinkie screamed. “It had to be postponed because Sunset Shimmer had Snips and Snails ruin all of Pinkie Pie’s decorations.” Twilight added. “WHAT?!” Pinkie screamed again. “But the Fall Formal has to happen tonight.” Twilight declared. “WHA-” Pinkie was about to scream again until Applejack put her hand over the girls mouth. Sonic now knew what Twilight was getting at. “Is she really…?” Twilight paused for a moment before finally speaking up. “...You see,” But she was cut off by Pinkie. “You’re from an alternate world and you’re a pony princess there and the crown actually has a magical element embedded in it that helps power up other magical elements and without it they don’t work anymore to protect your magical world and if you don’t get the crown tonight, you’ll be stuck in this world and you won’t be able to get back for a really really long time!” *squee* Twilight, Spike, and Sonic were speechless. “Yeah...I’m pretty sure that isn’t the reason.” Rainbow Dash assumed until Spike corrected her with words. “Nope. She’s pretty much spot on.” he said. Rarity was shocked. “HE CAN TALK?!” Spike smiled. “Oh yeah! And back where I come from, I’m not even a dog! I’m a ferocious fire-breathing dragon!” he revealed. Fluttershy shoved Rarity and Pinkie Pie aside. Her dream had come true. “This is so amazing! Tell me! What are you thinking right now?!” she asked, eyes super wide. Spike scampered over to Rarity, wondering if the talking dog thing works on the ladies! “Sure would love a scratch behind the old ears!” Rarity just stared. “Gah…” “Uh...maybe later.” he said. Sonic sighed, knowing the jig was up and it was time to tell the truth. “Erm...now that we’re admitting secrets about ourselves, I guess I should tell all of you that I’m actually from another world too! And I’m no human! I’m Sonic! Sonic the Hedgehog! Yeah, you heard me right. A supersonic hedgehog that can easily break the sound barrier!” he said. Tails, Knuckles, and Amy were in shock while the rest of the girls except for Twilight just stared. “How did you know all this?” Twilight asked turning to Pinkie. “Just a hunch!” she simply answered. “Wait a minute! Let me get this straight. You’re a pony?” “You’re a hedgehog?” “You’re a princess?” “You’re from another world?” Everyone’s eyes were both on Twilight and Sonic. They both nodded. “That is so...AWESOME!!!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed. Both newcomers were surrounded by everyone with comments about their real identities. Later in the gym, all the decorations were trashed, some tables were broken in half and the mirror ball was split wide open. “I simply cannot believe they did all this!” Rarity exclaimed. “If I only had some kind of party cannon that could decorate everything super fast!” Pinkie sighed. “If only I had my speed. I could get this place fixed up in no time!” Sonic added. “I know it seems impossible but...maybe if we all worked together?” Twilight suggested. Applejack smiled. “Now that’s the kind of spirit I’m looking for in a Fall Formal Princess! Let’s do it ya’ll!” “Absolutely!” “Rock on!” “Yes Indeed-ily!” “Yay!” “Let’s do this!” “Time to get busy!” “We’re all in this together!” (Insert “Time to come together” here) It all started off as 10 friends trying to clean up the gym for Fall Formal but now the whole school was involved. Even Janitor Kintobor had brought in his homemade ‘weapon’ to help out. While Twilight and the girls watched everyone finish up from the stage, Sonic and the gang stood near the entrance. Tails wiped some sweat from his forehead as he finished up repairing and slightly reprogramming the DJ turntable to look and act like new. “Well, I guess that’s all on my part! How’s Knuckles doing?” he asked. The athlete in red had just finished bringing in the last few tables. “All finished! I guess that’s everything right?” Sonic nodded as he did some quick stretches. “Looks like it! Things are going pretty smoothly! And for once, ‘Eggman’ actually did something useful!” Just as he finished saying that, Janitor Kintobor parked his sanitation mobile in front of the group. “Ugh! Maybe now everyone knows I’m capable of more than just cleaning. Hopefully the Principals see it too.” he said. Suddenly a voice behind him made him nearly jump for joy. “I did see it. And you’re more than welcome to come and talk to me about getting you a degree in teaching, Professor Kintobor.” Sonic chuckled. “Congrats Eggman.” Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna were now at the front of the gym, ready to tell everyone the good news. “Alright everyone! Fall Formal is back on for this evening!” she announced. The students cheered at a job well done. “So you better get out of here and start getting ready.” she added. “And don’t forget to cast your ballots for Fall Formal Princess on your way out!” Twilight beamed as she heard all of the students say her name as they dropped their votes into the box held by the Vice Principal. Meanwhile in the storage closet, Sunset Shimmer and her two goons watched as everyone voted against her before turning back to Snips and Snails. “You’re lucky she was able to pull this off. Next time I ask you to make a mess of things, try to show a little restraint!” she said before turning back to the students outside. “I need this Formal to go on tonight just as much as she does!” Later at Carousel Boutique. “I still can’t believe we pulled that off!” Fluttershy said. Rainbow grinned. “I can! We’re awesome!” she claimed. Sonic nodded in agreement. “We more than awesome! We’re way-past-cool!” The comments stopped as Rarity pulled out a clothing cart. “Enough chatter girls and guys. We need to get ready, we need to look FABULOUS!” (Insert “This is Our Big Night” here) While the girls, along with Amy, got ready, Sonic Tails and Knuckles moved to a different room for themselves. Sonic wasn’t going in anything special. Just the new shoes Rarity had showed him! Knuckles ditched the athlete type look and changed into a more well-dressed classy look. Tails also changed to match Knuckles’ style. Both of them threw on some cologne and deodorant. Sonic just remained as he was...except for a last minute red bow. The trio was now ready to party all night! This was everyone’s big night!
