//------------------------------// // Tale #1 // Story: Winds of Magic // by Antmix762 //------------------------------// The wind was blowing through the field as our hero Sonic the Hedgehog was lying on the soft grass, taking a nap. It was one of those days where Eggman hasn't made a move as of late and he as well as his friends were alright with this after they've gotten visitors from….another place. He was just glad that he wasn't fighting Eggman all the time just so he can get some relaxation. "Ahhhhh, this is the life, there are times where I wished that Egghead wasn't around." He thought to himself and then talked to himself. "And at least there aren't killer robots out to get me or the girls for that matter." He stretched his arms out and yawned and rested his head on the grass. He then closed his eyes and felt the realm of sleep coming to him and then now slightly snores. Then steps were coming through the ground as the pony was walking along the grass and then spots the hedgehog lying there. The pony there had the skin of lavender and had a mane of sapphire blue with purple and rose colors, she walked on her four appendages and her eyes were purple and she had wings on each side of her body. Her name is Twilight Sparkle, Princess of friendship from another world called Equestria. Ever since she and her friends have gotten into a predicament by Twilight accidentally using a spell and found themselves in Sonic's world. In fact, they found themselves in a battle between him and Eggman, luckily Sonic and his friends rescued them and gave them a place to live until Tails or Twilight figures out how they get back. Though as she tries to she kept looking at Sonic as a specimen level, though over time she started to get to know him better and then started to develop unintentional feelings for him. She looks at the sleeping hedgehog closely and then. "So this is where Sonic went, I knew putting that tracking spell on him would pay off!" She whispered to herself as she then unpacked her supplies from her bag. "Now to study the Sonic!" She brought out a notebook and a quill from her bag, she then walked near Sonic and then sat down on the grass and then started writing down on the notebook by using her magic to lift the pencil and write on the notebook. "Sonicus the Hedgeushogus, a blue anthropomorphic hedgehog, that has the ability to run at Mach 10 speeds which is impossible to some as nobody has reached those sorts of speeds before, though after more research I concur that I still have not figured out what makes him fast." She wrote down on the notebook as she had a look of frustration on her sighed as she didn't have the answers, a thing she didn't like having and then proceed to her next part of her "Research" She then walked towards him and then grabs measuring tape and measures his length and width of his body. She keeps looking at his body until she then needed to go in front of Sonic and take a closer look to inspect him. Then she turns the page and begins another paragraph on him this time for her own reasons. "Now to write something different!" She thought as she begins writing in her book. "Things I like about Sonic." She began talking to herself, and something she didn't notice was Sonic's ears moving signaling that he's awake. "As I and the girls came into this world, Sonic found us and took us in along with his friends and since then I've been very thankful of him." She then blushed as she then talked more as she continued on inspecting Sonic, she looked at his arms and then carefully takes them off and then looks at his hands, the color was like his mouth, pale and orange she looked at his paws and then wrote in her notebook about his hands as she continued silently monologuing to herself. "As this was happening I…..had things I liked of him, his spikes at the end of his head look pretty in the wind, his eyes are of sparkling emerald, his little dance where he completes something is just so cool!, and lastly his determination, it's just so great that it rubs on me, and he and Tails are hard at work on trying to get us back home and I think they're almost there though I sometimes help though Tails asks that this is way beyond what I know." She then realized that she went off topic and went back on track on what she was doing. "But anyways what I mean is that I….have some feelings for him." She said as she was looking at quills, she then stops and then looks at his body as she then moves closer to himself and looks at it and then her notes. "Ok what I found seems interesting, his quells seem to go through the wind as he runs. I think I might need to take a closer look." She thought to herself as she tried to get a closer look at his quells though and she looked at him closely she felt his gloved hands holding her hooves and then hugging her closely, and Twilight just looking rather blushed about it. "W-W-What the heck? Why is he hugging me? How is he doing this?" She thought as she tries to get out of the grip lock she was in but was no match for his strength. Though after a while she teleports out of his hands and she sighed as she was freed from his grip. Though she then sat beside him while he still miraculously slept. "Sigh, why can't I just stop thinking about you, Sonic it's just when we've been here on your planet and since I've seen you in combat and how you act it's so…..good, I mean I don't know how I can like you since you're a hedgehog and I'm a pony. I mean it could never work…..could it?" She said to herself as she was in deep thoughts. Then she felt someone's arm resting on her shoulders, she turns to see Sonic with his eyes open and grinning. "Hey, Twilight what's up?" He said while holding onto her head as Twilight looking nervous about him getting close to her and him looking at her. "Oh uhh oh heeeey Sonic h-h-how are you?" She stuttered a bit hoping that Sonic wouldn't see her blushing as she tries to slip out of his grasp though she couldn't get out of his grip. "Oh, nothing much just relaxing out in the fields, you know away from the city?" He said as he then noticed her hooves were in his hands and then lets them go. "Heheh sorry about that, a force of habit whenever I hear sounds you know?" He said then standing up and Twilight just looked away from him while Sonic looked at her confusingly. "Hey, what's up is there something wrong?" He asked feeling worried about the alicorn, she then used her magic to block Sonic from coming further to her. "I-I-It's nothing Sonic, I just need some space ok?" She stopped the magic as he then had a thought come to him as he now noticed Twilight here. "Wait for Twilight what are you doing here actually?" He said as Twilight stutters for a few minutes but then stopped and spoke coherently. "Well, I just…..wanted to…..study you." She said as the last two words were quiet. "Huh, what do you say?" He asked as Twilight cringed as she then spoke up louder. "I wanted to study you!" She yelled out as Sonic heard what she said and was confused on what she meant. "Wait to study me?...In what way?" He asked questioning her. "Ummm studying in, wanting to know how you work and measuring on your quells…." She then stops talking and then realizing what she said and then looking nervous to him. "Please don't feel weird about that, I was just looking at you, BUT NOT IN A WEIRD WAY!" She called out to him though he smiles. "Teh, you don't need to sneak up on me to see what I tick, you could've just asked me you know?" He said to her as she then nods a bit. "Yes could have though I was a bit nervous since I didn't want to disturb you, I didn't mean like-or more like I uh.. ." She kept going on as her mumbling kept going though Sonic stopped her as he silently puts his hand on her mouth to make her stop. "Hey it's cool Twilight, I'm just saying that you could have asked me. Although what do you say when you said my eyes are of sparkling emerald?" He arched one of his eyes to which Twilight goes red in the face to hear that. "W-W-What do you mean by t-t-that?" She faltered her own words as she wondered what he meant. "What I mean is, I heard some of what you said, like you saying you liked my emerald eyes and my determination?" His mouth then donned a grin on Twilight's face still was buzzed with red all over as she was sent into a stuttering mess as she was trying to explain to Sonic though he again silents her. "You want to know something else Twiliy?" He said as Twilight then question what he meant by that. "What's that?" She said as she asked Sonic. "It's what I like about you too." He said nonchalantly as Twilight's eyes shot out as she heard Sonic response. "Wait…...WHAT?" She yelled in confusion as she was questioned what made Sonic said that as she collapsed on the ground in total wonderment. "I'm saying is this is what I like about you, you're constantly wanting for knowledge, you're nerdiness, and your things that you do it looks…..cute." He said as Twilight's look kept just staring at him and did not believe what he was saying. "Y-Y-You t-t-think I'm c-c-c-cute?" The lavender alicorn sputtered as she was trying to make sense of what Sonic is telling her. "Well yeah, I mean have you seen how you act with books?" He spoke as Twilight still blushed from that compliment. "Well ever since you've been with us for a while, though I've really haven't thought about it lately since, you really kept trying to avoid me?" Sonic was asking her as she nodded and as she said that she got a little bit closer to Sonic. "Well….. Yes, I've been avoiding you, but also yes since those things I said are true, I really like you." She said as she fully admits to Sonic as her face lowers down. A few minutes pass by to let those words spoken by Twilight sink in and vice versa. As the two now we're in thoughts. Sonic starts to smile a little as he scoots a little too Twilight as she was in thoughts as he then embraces her, she squeaks as she felt Sonic's hands go through her waist and her body moves closer to Sonic. She couldn't find any words to say at this point as she was in awe that Sonic would be doing this but went with this She felt the warmth coming from his body as he places his head on top of her and Twilight's face was on his chest. She and Sonic didn't say anything as they both lay on the grass fields feeling each other's warmth in each other's arms as the breeze blows through them and they stood there in silence.
