After enjoying some snacks at Sugarcube Corner, Sonic and Twilight had ran into (literally in Twilight's case) the same they bumped into when they first arrived.
They learned from the girls that his name was Flash Sentry and that he was Sunset's ex-boyfriend.
Although Sonic thought that name sounded familiar, he and the girls began to brainstorm about ways to boost Twilight's popularity and get her the votes she needed for the Fall Formal.
That's when Rarity came up with the idea of getting everyone in the school to wear fake pony ears and tails, to remind everyone of unity and the school spirit.
Aside from Sonic who questioned it had to be pony ears and tails, everyone was on board with the idea.
Later that day at lunch, the group began to pass out the ears and tails and, after some motivation, got everyone in the lunch room happy as they interacted with each other.
However, not too long after lunch, Sonic was confronted by Vice Principal Luna who told him to follow her to her office.
"You are in a lot of trouble young man." Vice Principal Luna said once they were inside her office, "Because of the destruction you have caused, you're looking at suspension. Before you're even enrolled."
"Destruction, what destruction?" Sonic asked.
Vice Principal Luna responded by placing a folder in front of him and opening it up, shocking Sonic at what he saw.
It was pictures of him that looked printed from a computer, showing him kicking like he did during his match with Rainbow Dash. Only it showed him "destroying" the gymnasium, wrecking all of the decorations and making a complete mess.
"What the heck is this!?" Sonic asked in complete shock.
"It's you, Sonic, I believe Sunset said your name was." Vice Principal Luna responded, "You destroyed the gym meant to hold the Fall Formal Dance tomorrow. Sunset said she watched you wreck the room and left the gym a complete mess, printing out the evidence she had captured on her phone from the library's printer. What on earth do you have to say for yourself?"
"I didn't do this!" Sonic said in a panicked tone, "I was with my sister and friends all day today, and we were nowhere near the gymnasium!"
"Well these photos say otherwise." Vice Principal Luna said, "You have no proof you weren't in the gym upon its destruction, no alibi can prove you really weren't there during the day. Unless you want to spout anymore lies about this, while we have to hold the dance off until Saturday, you are suspended from-"
"Wait! Vice Principal Luna!" Flash exclaimed as he barged into the room. "Sonic didn't wreck the gym. He's innocent."
Flash then took out two photos. One was one of Sonic kicking a soccer ball while the other had a perfect cutout that matched the shape of his body on the other photo.
"I found these in a trash can in the library." Flash explained as he slid the photo of Sonic kicking the soccer ball behind the other photo until it showed Sonic fit into the cutout, "Someone obviously combined these photos to make it look like Sonic was the one who trashed the gym."
After looking at the photos for a moment, Vice Principal Luna looked towards Sonic before saying, "It seems you were telling the truth, I apologize for the inconvenience."
"It's alright Au- I mean Vice Principal Luna." Sonic said as calmly as he could despite still being shaken about the Fall Formal being rescheduled to the day AFTER the portal back to equestria closes for another thirty moons.
"Now, you two should get back to class." Vice Principal Luna said, "I still need to look into this."
"Right." Both Sonic and Flash said before exiting the office.
"Thanks for backing me up there." Sonic said, "I had a feeling Sunset was up to something. Now the dance is cancelled until the weekend because she's so desperate to win."
"Yeah, well, I couldn't let a fellow Wondercolt go down for something he didn't do." Flash said, "Besides, I think your sister needs your protection if Sunset decides to go after her if she loses."
"My thoughts exactly." Sonic agreed, "Anyway, I should go find my sister and her friends and tell them the news."
"Good luck." Flash said before walking off.
'Me and Twilight are definitely going to need that.' Sonic thought to himself before beginning his search for said former alicorn.
After searching and asking around the school, Sonic found out that Twilight and the girls had gone to the Carousel Boutique of this world.
After asking for directions on how to get there, Sonic made sure no one was looking before speeding off to it.
When he got there, he found that the building was designed similarly to the one in Ponyville, but it didn't have the odd merry-go-round on top.
As as he stepped inside, Sonic saw the girls going through the clothes they looked through to wear for the dance tomorrow while Spike watch from a distance.
"Hey, Sonic, how did it go?" Pinkie asked.
"You're not in trouble, are you?" Fluttershy asked in a worried tone.
"No, it was just a misunderstanding." Sonic said, "But, I need to privately talk to my sister for a bit."
"What is it?" Twilight asked.
Instead of answering, Sonic gestured her to follow her to the other room.
Once they were alone, Sonic said, "The dance is being postponed."
"What!? Why!?" Twilight asked in shock.
"Sunset, Snips, and Snails trashed the gym." Sonic responded, "And they tried to frame me and get me kicked out of the school. Since the gym in not usable at the moment, Celestia and Luna are going to cancel the dance until Saturday, the day after the portal back to equestria closes, meaning we'll be stuck here for thirty moons.
Twilight was completely shocked, although they might get her crown back, they would be stuck here for thirty moons with no other possible way of getting back except for having to wait until the portal opens again.
With idea about what they should do, Twilight askes, "What do we do now?"
Although he didn't want to suggest it, Sonic replied, "...We have to tell them the truth about who we are."
"What happened to 'try not to get too much attention to ourselves?'" Twilight asked.
"At this point, we don't have a choice." Sonic responded, "It's either tell them the truth and possibly get the dance back on, or tell them nothing and be forced to stay here for thirty moons."
Seeing how he had a point, Twilight nodded in understanding before she and Sonic rejoined the rest of the girls.
"What took to two so long?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Girls, we have some bad news," Sonic said, "When I was called to Vice Principal Luna's office, was apparently in trouble before I was proven innocent."
"What happened?" Rarity asked.
"The Fall Formal isn't going to happen tomorrow night," Sonic said.
"What!?" Pinkie exclaimed.
"The reason why is because Sunset Shimmer made Snips and Snails trash all the decorations in the gym," Sonic continued.
"WHAT!?" Pinkie shrieked, all of her hard work ruined in the span of a day.
"But that dance needs to happen tomorrow!" Sonic said.
Before the Pinkie tried to exclaim again, Sonic quickly ran up to her before slapping his hand against her mouth.
"Please stop doing that." Sonic said.
"The Fall Formal Dance is cancelled!?" Rarity asked, completely horrified.
"Why would Sunset do something like that if she wants to win!?" Rainbow asked, "That's totally insane!"
"Well, there's a reason why she wants to do that." Sonic removed his hand from Pinkie's mouth, seeing she wasn't going to scream randomly again. "It's a pretty long story."
"Wait! I think I know what's going on here." Pinkie suddenly spoke up before saying in one breath, "You two are actually from another world kind of like ours, Twilight's actually a pony princess who came through here to get back her crown that is actually a magical artifact meant to defend the world you're from and can't be used unless all of them are together, Spike is actually a dragon who assists Twilight, and Sonic is a blue hedgehog who walks on two legs and wears shoes and gloves that is the Crown Prince with these super powerful gems that lets him all sorts of cool stuff even though he can run super fast, and if you guys don't get the crown, then you'll end up being stuck here in our world for another thirty moons until the gateway you three went through opens up again!"
Sonic, Twilight, and Spike were completely amazed as to how Pinkie was able to correctly guess everything they were about to tell them.
'Sometimes I forget how random Pinkie can be sometimes.' Sonic thought to himself.
"Yeah, Pinkie, that's exactly what Sonic was about to say." Rainbow Dash said sarcastically.
"No," Spike spoke up, "She's pretty much right about everything."
The girls all gasped, but Fluttershy gasped in excitement, hearing the purple and green puppy speaking.
"IT CAN TALK!?" Fluttershy exclaimed happily.
"Yup. I can talk. And Pinkie was about about who I am." Spike said before he stood up on his hind legs, "I'm not a dog; I'm a ferocious, fire-breathing dragon!"
Spike sat back down with a smug smirk after announcing himself, but it immediately disappeared as Fluttershy nearly dove tackled the dog.
"This is so amazing!" Fluttershy exclaimed, "I've always wanted this to happen! What are you thinking right now!?"
"Pinkie, how did you guess all that?" Twilight asked with great confusion in her voice.
"Just a hunch." she responded.
"Of course it was." Sonic said.
"So, let me get this straight. Twilight, y'all are some kind of pony princess, from a parallel world of ours?" Applejack asked
"Yes. And, there are pony versions of you back home, of everyone here." Twilight responded nervously.
"...Ok, maybe I can believe that. Maybe I can believe that dog of yours might actually be a dragon." Rainbow Dash said before turning towards Sonic, "But you're a blue hedgehog with super speed and seven powerful gem."
"That's right." Sonic responded before summoning the chaos emeralds around himself, "And these gems are called chaos emeralds."
"I say, for gems that are supposeibly powerful, they certainly look beautiful." Rarity said as she reached for one of the emeralds.
"Sorry Rarity." Sonic said as the chaos emeralds disappeared, "But the chaos emeralds aren't something you want to mess with if you don't know what you're doing."
"What exactly can those things do?" Rainbow Dash asked.
Instead of responding, Sonic simply snapped his fingers.
About a second later, the group found themselves at the school soccer field, surprising the five human girls.
"What the!? How did we get here!?!" Applejack exclaimed in shock.
"You have chaos control to thank for that." Sonic responded, "Chaos control allows me to teleport myself and others just about anywhere while also allowing me to both slow down, and stop time."
"So cool!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, "What else can they do?"
"Well they are capable of increasing one's strength and speed." Sonic responded, "But they could also power up magic as well."
"Could they power up technology as well?" Fluttershy asked.
"Well don't have technology as advanced as the ones we've seen here so we never got the chance." Sonic replied, "But I think it's best to not try it right now so we don't get anyone else's attention while doing so."
"I suppose that's understandable." Rarity agreed.
"Going back to you and Twilight, you two aren't really siblings, are you?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"No, but we see each other as such." Sonic responded, "Well, now that we've told you the truth about ourselves, do you girls think you could help us?"
"Of course we will!" Rainbow Dash responded, "You two really need that crown back and I'm always willing to help a friend."
"Rainbow Dash is right, it might take a while, but I'm sure we could get it done." Applejack said with Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie nodding in agreement.
"Thanks girls, you have no idea how greatful we are." Twilight said.
"Come on, I'm sure we have a lot of work ahead of us and the sooner we get it over with, the better." Sonic said.
Nodding in agreement, the group begin to make their way to the gym, willing to undo the mess Sunset and her goons made.
