//------------------------------// // The Friendship Festival // Story: Sonic The Hedgehog & My Little Pony The Movie // by Idiotboy24 //------------------------------// Canterlot: The Next Day Start at 1:09 The morning sun shines brightly for a new day has begun, a group Pegasi start flying around above the clouds and dive down close to the ground before spreading their wings, they flew above many Ponies that were walking towards Canterlot. They then launch themselves up which reveals the big city of Canterlot, they do some cool air tricks before continuing to fly above. Other ponies have filled up the streets of Canterlot, from the entrance all the way up to the castle. A group of Ponies are setting up a table with food when all of a sudden Spike drops down from nowhere, (Seriously where did he come from) and lands on the jello before landing on the ground with Scrolls in his hands. “Scuse me! Dragon on the move! Important princess documents, comin´ through!” He called to the other ponies who watched in shock at his sudden appearance. He ran past two Earth Pony's who were talking to one another. “Wow! Everypony from Manehatten to Saddle Arabia is here!” “I know, filly! We almost couldn´t book a stable!” The other mare responded. Other ponies were having fun talking to one another or playing the activities, two Pegasi who were flying began talking about Twilight. “Princess Twilight must have her hooves full with this giant Festival!” To which other Pegasus flew up closer, “Are you kidding?! She's smart and organized and cool under pressure! There's nothing she can't handle!” They both flew past four stained glass windows which showed the four Princesses, But unannounced to anyone there was a Princess behind one of the Stained Glass windows. Canterlot Castle Twilight was standing there with her wings flared with her crown on top of her head, as she tried to maintain composure by meditating. “Ommmmm... Ohhhhhhh mmmmy goodness, I can't handle this! Ooh! Nothing is working! I just have to get it together! Just go in there! And ask! This is your Friendship Festival! Everypony's happiness rests in your hooves. Ohhhh!” she then facehoofed in worry that it´ll go wrong. Spike then entered through the door, “Okay, Twilight. Got all your charts and graphs.” Twilight calmed down a little bit. “Oh, thank goodness your here, Spike! I’m just so nervous about this meeting!” She exclaimed with her eyes getting smaller. Spike looked up at her with a look. “Whachoo talkin’ ‘bout?” Twilight sighed as she turned to face the opposite direction. “I’m about to ask the three most royal princesses of Equestria for a huge favour! What if they reject me?” Spike tried to reassure her. “It’ll be fine. Just remember the most important thing.” Twilight then turned to face him with the widest and creepiest smile he had ever seen from her. “Smile?!” She exclaimed, to which spike looked at her deadpanned. “Eh… no. You’re a Princess too.” He explained, causing Twilight to stop smiling. “Right!” She then exhales before opening the doors to the throne room, which revealed the three princesses. The first being Celestia who had White fur, a flowing rainbow-y mane and a crown to boot. On her right was Luna who was smaller than her sister, she had black fur, a Dark Blue flowing mane and a black crown. Then on the left was Cadence who had pink fur, a Pink, yellow and purple mane and a tiara that sat on her head. “Good morning, Princesses. Thank you all for seeing me. I have an idea that I think will make our Friendship Festival the most wonderful celebration Equestria has ever seen!” Twilight greeted, while holding her composure. Celestia spoke up. “Yes Twilight! We are very excited!” “Ponies have been arriving from all over all morning.” Cadence explained. “I’d like to think it’s to see us, but Songbird Serenade might be the bigger attraction.” Luna inquired. “Yes she is the… “mane” event!” She giggled before resuming. “And to make it extra special, I could use your help. Spike?” She called for her assistant, who pulled a whiteboard from nowhere. She began to explain in full detail. “Songbird Serenade's performance is not scheduled to start until after you begin the sunset. And based on my precise calculation, to get the very best lighting for the stage, Princess Celestia, I was hoping you could make sure the sun stays about 28.1º to the south, and, Princess Luna, if you could raise the moon 62º to the north at the same time, it would reflect the sunlight on the other side and really frame the entire stage perfectly!” The other Princesses stared in confusion not being to able to comprehend the whole idea. “I…” Luna was cut off by Twilight. “But wait! There's more! Cadance, if you could use your crystal magic to create an aurora above the stage, the sun and the moon will shine through it and create a truly amazing light show!” She looked up to see Spike hand send glitter up into the air, before holding a Songbird Serenade cut out on a stick. “Presenting Songbird Serenade! Yeah, yeah, yeah! Whoa-ho! Whoa!” Spike hopped up onto the Whiteboard before falling off and landing on the ground. “Ta-da.” He spoke weakly. “So you're saying you want us to move the sun and the moon for the party.” Luna asked deadpanned. Twilight looked nervous. “Well, I'd do it myself, except I don't have your magic.” They then walked up to Twilight with smiles. “Twilight, each of us uses our powers to serve Equestria in our own way. You are the Princess of Friendship. You already have all the magic you need.” Celestia explained. Twilight looked up at them with disappointment. “So… that’d be a no?” Below Canterlot Sonic woke up from his uncomfortable sleep, still upset about what happened last night on the baseball field. “Ugh… I can’t believe I did that last night, I’m so stupid!” His ears perked up at something of what appeared to be the sound of whooshing. He walked out of his cave rubbing his eyes and looked up at Canterlot to see a Rainbow trail going about the place, letting him know that the “Big Event.” Has begun. “Oh no! I slept in!” He turned back into his cave and came back out wearing a Hat, that covered both his quills and ears, with a Shirt that was red and went down to his legs. “Okay… ooh almost forgot these!” He then put on some sunglasses before dashing off towards Canterlot. ‘Today’s the day I finally… or hopefully meet Mom.’ His smile grew wider as he began getting closer to the city. Canterlot “Yes!” Rainbow Dash blitz across the sky clearing the clouds. “Sky’s cleared and ready for the festival!” She began zooming around doing whatever she needed to do. Pinkie was currently blowing up some balloon animals, with her current balloon being an orange one. The balloon then went thin as she started tying it around until it turned into Discord, which then lost all air and sent pinkie backwards. Fluttershy was seen with a choir of birds, with one of them being Angel in a bird costume. The balloon suddenly went by startling Fluttershy, Pinkie then jumped onto the stands the birds were on which made almost all of them fly away. “Heads up, Fluttershy! Out of control balloooooon!!” Pinkie continued to hop on through and away from the area, a bird suddenly flew into Fluttershy’s head. “Hoo. I don't think it's the balloon that's out of control, Pinkie Pie!” she commented, while having the bird perched on her hoof. Applejack came in with a wagon attached to her with barrels being held. “Hey y’all!” She called as Pinkie dashed over her, holding the balloon. “Anypony up for some free samples of my family’s apple cider?”Rainbow Dash perked her head up and zoomed over. “Thank you! Loved it!” She took the cup and brought it back into Applejacks hoof who looked down in shock too see it all gone. Rarity was putting a small diamond on a pink ribbon directly in the center with her magic, Applejack came over unbuckled from the wagon. “Wow, Rarity. It's a fine job you're doin' there. 'Course it might not get done 'til after the concert.” Applejack expressed pointing out how much there was left to do. “Applejack, darling, anypony can do "fine". Twilight asked me, so clearly, she's going for fabulous, and fabulous takes time.” Rarity explained confidently. Rainbow Dash then flew down. “Fabulous takes forever! But "awesome”… (she proceeded to do all of it really quick, even tying up Fluttershy in the process.) …can get done in four seconds flat! Faster if I do my sonic rainboom!” She exclaimed ready to so. “Aah! Nono, oh no! Don't you dare, Rainbow Dash! It looks wretched enough already.” She explained pointing out how messy each one looked. “Oh come on, it’s fine!” Rainbow Dash said flatly. “If you were raised in a barn! Ahem, no offense, Applejack.” Rarity quickly apologised. “None taken. Especially since I wasn't raised in a barn. My family just happens to have a barn. Where I was born. And... spent most of my formative years...” she then realized she was technically raised in a barn when Rainbow Dash came down for another cup of cider. “Raised in a barn!” They then heard Twilight talking as she was ticking off a checklist, with Spike following in tow. “Hey, Twilight!” They all welcomed her in unison. “Hello, Spike.” Rarity greeted causing the Lavender dragon to blush. “Uh, hi, Rarity. Heh heh.” he chuckled nervously. “How'd it go with the other Princesses? They like your idea?” Applejack asked with curiosity, Pinkie hopped after the balloon she had been chasing. “I bet they loved it!” Pinkie yelled with enthusiasm. Twilight sighed in disappointment. “Not exactly. They think I can make today perfect without their magic.” Rarity turned to face her friend after fixing one of the decorations. “And they are absolutely right, darling. This festival is your brilliant idea and we know you're up to the task!” She told Twilight who began to hyperventilate. “But what if I'm not?! What if Songbird Serenade hates the stage?! Or nopony makes a new friend?! And if I fail at the festival, then who am I?!” Pinkie dropped the caught balloon and grabbed Twilight´s face with her forehooves. “Twilight, look at me! This will be the biggest celebration Equestria has ever seen! As the Princess of Friendship, you cannot fail! This day will define who you are! The pressure is intense! It's almost too much for any single pony to handle!” Pinkie screamed into the heavens making everyone nearby look at her. She then jumped back to the others. “But you have us! So stop worrying.” The ribbons around Fluttershy fell down, as a balloon popped along with Rainbow Dash burping from the cider she had consumed earlier. Twilight smiled Awkwardly before Applejack pulled her up. Applejack: It's time to show 'em what you've got Applejack dusts Twilight’s chest, to which her crown tilts Rarity: It's time to go and get things done Rarity walks over and levitates Twilight’s crown back onto her head properly Fluttershy: But you don't have to do it on your own Fluttershy walks over as Rainbow Dash lands opposite of her position Pinkie Pie: 'Cause you've got friends right here to make it fun Pinkie pops up out of nowhere and pulls them all into a group hug Mane Five and Spike: We got this They get squeezed tighter into the hug You got this They all leave the group hug and point at Twilight We got this together Rainbow Dash flies off the ground and grabs Twilight by the hoof taking her and Spike up into the sky Rainbow Dash: Sometimes the pressure gets you down And the clouds are dark and grey Just kick them off and let the sunshine through Twilight, Spike and Rainbow Dash are flying together, then Rainbow Dash flies upwards poking a hole into the cloud which let’s the sun beam down on Twilight and Spike who fly up to where Rainbow Dash is And scary as it seems More help is on the way 'Cause friends have friends that wanna help out too Rainbow Dash grabs Twilight’s mouth and makes her smile to which the Wonderbolts come out from below and make the clouds disappear Mane Five: We got this Rainbow raises her hooves up into the sky as the Wonderbolts circle around them You got this Rainbow Dash points at Twilight who looks uneasy We got this together The Wonderbolts fly upwards in circular motion and make the clouds disappear, Twilight points at something to which Rainbow Dash rolls her eyes and pulls her and Spike back down to the street It's the Festival of Friendship Twilight looks at Zecora and waves before flying off And we can get it done Bulk Biceps punches a Horseshoe button which breaks the machine A festival that they won't forget Twilight flies down with Spike and lands behind Photo Finish who turns around with her camera and snaps a picture of them both A party to be proud of Dj Pon 3 is seen playing her Dj set up A day of games and fun Twilight and Spike fly on by and give her a High Hoof before leaving Just you wait and see Twilight and Spike fly down the Street and pass Trixie A magic day in perfect harmony She continues to fly and lands next to Fluttershy who has a bird perched on her hoof Fluttershy: You got this The Bird chirps a part of the song We got this together Harry walks over and hugs them which squeezes both Twilight and Spike Applejack: With friends and family, you are never alone The Apple Family are holding pies and bringing them to Twilight to see if they smell good If you need help, we've got your back Applejack walks over to Spike and pats him on the back causing him to burn the list You can be honest, let your problems be known Twilight holds a ladle with her magic and tastes the liquid in the big bowl and scrunches up her face and pours some... flour I believe The Apple Family: 'Cause you got us to pick up the slack Some ponies are buckled to wagons pulling supplies along, with two more ponies holding up a plate of food with Spike checking off the list We got this The Apple Family put Pies down on the table Big Mac: Eeyup! Big Mac then pops up with a pie in hoof, before taking a bite out of it The Apple Family: We got this together They look up into the skies with their pies spread across the table Rarity: Pay attention to the details Every gem even-spaced Make the colors perfect Rarity adds a bunch of heart shaped diamonds onto the Animal choir stage, spreading them out perfectly and evenly, Twilight hops onto the stage with her. Spike: Takin' one or two to taste Spike tiptoes over and takes one of the Diamonds and eats it Rarity: Inside and out, beautiful throughout Generosity is what we're all about Rarity puts her hoof on Twilight’s chest bringing it up to her chin before swinging it out, two other ponies come from the sides with one of them holding a basket full of gems, which Rarity grabs with her magic Spike: You got this Spike takes a gem and eats it Rarity: You got this Rarity gives Twilight a decoration to which she grabs with her own magic Rarity and Spike: We got this together Twilight flies up and places the decoration perfectly before flying off Twilight Sparkle: Today needs to be perfect, it all comes down to me She flies up and turns to face the stage I don't know if I'm ready For all the things they need me to be She then flies down towards the street I am the Princess of Friendship She flies past many Ponies who wave at her but misses a biped wearing a Hat and Red shirt who was walking nearby But that is more than just a crown She looks down at her reflection in the water with a smile It's a promise to bring ponies together She flies past some ponies on a bridge while touching the water with her hooves And never let anypony down She then places her hooves down onto the water before launching herself upwards back to Canterlot Pinkie Pie: We've got an awful lot to bake Pinkie is seen riding on a unicycle which has two whisks attached to the bottom of it, mixing some white substance in a massive bowl Each pony needs a piece of cake She is also wearing a Headband, four hoofbands and one tail band while sweating heavily Oh, wait! There's something better we can do Trixie lights some fireworks which go off (Also Starlight is there) We're gonna need some more supplies Pinkie then pulls a wagon with all sorts of items past some other ponies To make a really big surprise She then passes Cheese Sandwich who is working on something, he turns around and sees a ginormous pile of items She'll be so shocked, she's sure to love it, too! Gummy drops a wrench from his mouth, while Pinkie jumps onto her small wagon which launches everything onto the pile before she put on some goggles. She then starts building something and even throws a wooden plank at the pile and even one towards- OW! God Damn it Pinkie! You got this! She then picks up Gummy with her forehooves We got this together! She then pulls Gummy closer with one hoof while pointing somewhere randomly with the other. then three wonderbolts pass by and get rid of another cloud Everyone: It's the Festival of Friendship A crowd of Ponies trot towards the stage from the right swinging their heads left and right Together we are one The same happens with the crowd of Ponies on the left A day we will never forget The Mane six (Except Pinkie) and Spike move across the stage with smiles And now everything is ready So when the day is done They continued forward where the Wonderbolts and Derpy came together to put hooves together with Derpy falling down Rainbow Dash: The weather Rainbow Dash points at the sky where the Wonderbolts fly by Applejack: The banquet The Apple Family are seen at a table filled with food Rarity: The style Rarity and three other Ponies pose for Photo FInish Fluttershy: And music Fluttershy and some Musician Ponies are seen on the stage with Fluttershy playing the choir Everyone: All will be in perfect harmony The Mane six are seen coming out of a line which then had Twilight stand on her Hindhooves spreading her wings. A giant cannon appears behind her and aims up into the sky, before firing. (End Song) It was a giant cake that went high up above, which casted a shadow over Twilight who gasped. The cake then landed covering Twilight until it all melted with Twilight still under it, gasps filled the other Ponies as they saw what happened. Twilight poked her head out of the cake before looking back at the cannon. “Pinkie!” Yelled annoyed, to which a candle landed on her horn sticking perfectly alight. Pinkie popped out of the cannon, “Oopsie! Guess my easy bake confetti cake cannon needs a little bit more fine tuning!” Pinkie yelled back, to which Twilight glares back at her friend before blowing out the candle with a groan. They then turned their heads towards some gasps, to see none other than Songbird Serenade, who approaches with two CIA Ponies following in tow. “Hiya. I´m lookin´ for the Pony in charge?” She then does several poses as cameras flash all around her. “I need to set up for my sound check.” She explained. Twilight’s eyes widen. “Ms. Songbird Serenade? Um, I was just going to check on you. I'm Princess Twilight, and sorry about the mess. I'm usually not so...” She accidentally flicked some cake at Songbird which caused gasps to fill the air. “Caked in Cake?” Songbird asked jokingly, to which Twilight laughed nervously. The CIA Ponies talked through their earpieces, afterwards the one on the left walked forward and wiped away the cake on Songbird’s shirt. Twilight told Songbird where to go which led the crowd away, she decided to relax a little bit and told her friends to continue getting ready, which they went to do. She started walking backwards before bumping into someone on accident, she turned to face the Pony to apologize only to be greeted by a strange sight. Canterlot: Minutes Earlier Sonic had made it into Canterlot successfully and although, he got the occasional strange look from bystanders no one seemed to mind his existence, he had been walking to where the event would be mainly held, but along the way he heard singing in fact a lot of different voices singing, but eventually it all quieted down to one voice that Sonic has heard multiple times before. “The Book Master” He turned to face her direction and she quickly flew by before Sonic could react in time. That was another thing he loved about this world, the singing. It was most of the time great and wonderful, which inspired him to try to do so as well. He quickly made haste to the top and found a stage that was all set up and ready to go, he also noticed a ton of other ponies arriving here at the same time as he did. They were also seeming to be finishing up the song to which he joined in, his singing ended up blending in really well with the huge crowd making him look less suspicious. Once it finished, he heard the cannon being shot and looked up to see a big cake come crashing on top of Twilight, he winced a little bit from the impact but turned his attention to some gasps from the crowd, he then saw Songbird Serenade who he´s heard about all day leading up to this point. He decided to split from the crowd and checkout the place, he turned around and looked on in awe, Canterlot had never looked so beautiful before. “This is amazing.” He commented to himself, he turned his head to face the castle which shined brightly giving him more hope. “I´ll be home soon Mom.” He whispered. Before he could take in more of the beauty he accidentally bumped into someone, but when he turned around to apologize he was greeted with an amazing sight. Canterlot: Present Twilight’s eyes fell upon a biped of sorts it was wearing a red shirt, a hat similar to Applejack’s and Sunglasses sitting there hiding its eyes, it was also only a little bit shorter than her, the both of them stared at each other for a few moments, before Twilight finally snapped from her daze and recuperated herself. “I-i´m sorry stranger I didn´t mean to bump into you.” She apologized nervously, but to her surprise the stranger smiled back. “Hey don’t worry about it, I should have watched where I was going. Cause in all honesty this place is a sight to behold.” He explained while also apologizing, Twilight nodded in agreement while Sonic chuckled. “Anyway, my name is Twilight Sparkle the Princess of Friendship and I´m hosting The Friendship Festival. Who might you be?” She asked politely. “My name´s “Ryan” but my friends either call me “Roger” or “Jason”, and I arrived here not too long ago for the Festival.” He lied somewhat, Twilight giggled at his introduction. “Well “Ryan” i’m glad you could make it, so what do you plan to do here today.” She asked in curiosity, Sonic was geeking out so much right now he was talking to the one and only “Book Master” up close. “Well i´m here because of the activities and being able to make friends with all sorts of ponies!” He exclaimed, wondering how the disguise is still working. “Well this place has all of that! And I think you just met your first Pony friend!” She declared, causing Sonic to get excited. “Who?” He asked, She giggled a little bit. “Well-“ Before she could finish, the loud noise of Thunder made itself known catching everyone off guard, Twilight and Sonic looked up to see dark brown clouds appearing from nowhere. ´Something tells me, everything is about to go downhill.´ Sonic thought to himself before seeing Twilight walk over to her friends, to which Sonic followed closely behind.
