//------------------------------// // 11. Maretime Bay Day 2.0 // Story: Sonic The Hedgehog x My Little Pony: Tell Your Tale // by BronySonicFan //------------------------------// In the beaches of Maretime Bay, Posey, along with four other earth ponies, were putting the finishing touches on a sand castle they built, since they were on a sand castle building contest in the beach. "Steady... Steady..." Posey advised sweating, as the other ponies putted themselves on top of each other with Posey on the top, trying to put the flag on the top of the sand castle. But when Posey was about to put the flag on the top of the castle, the water from the ocean hit the edge of the castle, which cause it to collapse as Posey and the other earth ponies loose their balance. The pony's back at the bottom cracked, and Posey was about to fall, but then she was paused, because it was just a video on a pink laptop with wings. "Oh. That is golden" Pipp said with sparkling eyes. "I am a pony in the zoney" she sang as she typed in the comment and then sighed. "Amazing what a little peace and quiet can do" she said with a smile, unaware that the rest of the Mane 5 and Team Sonic poked their heads behind the couch she was sitting on with smiles, wondering what she was doing on her laptop. "What are you doing, Pipp?" Izzy asked cheerfully. "Ah!" Pipp screamed, so surprised by Izzy’s voice that she flipped her laptop in the air, but catch it before it dropped to the ground. "Hey, everypony!" she greeted with a smile, regaining her composure. "Just cutting together my Maretime Bay Day Blog" she explained in a little singing tone. The other four ponies and Knuckles gasped in awe with sparkling eyes. "Gasp" Hitch said with a smile, since he didn't gasped for real. Sonic and Tails, however, just stood with smiles and looked at Pipp with joy. "A Maretime Bay Day blog, huh?" Sonic said, now smirking a little. "Sounds cool!" Tails complimented. "I know, right? It was so special, I just wanted a way to remember it forever" Pipp replied with a smile. "Plus, it’ll be great for my ponygram. Check it out! I got bloopers" Pipp said as she opened up her laptop and showed Jazz and Fifi trying to make Cotton Candy, but then Jazz’s mane got stuck in the Cotton Candy spinner. Her mane got all puffy out like a Cotton Candy, and Jazz then laughed at her mane style. "Behind the scenes" Pipp kept saying with a smirk, switching to a video where Hitch was doing a weird dance singing in front of the camera, with a high pitch voice in an embarrassing way. Hitch saw this embarrassed of himself, as he looked at the girls and Tails giggling at the video. But Sonic and Knuckles where dying of laugh on the floor as they let tears out. "That's just hilarious!" Sonic said between laughs. "And I though I danced terrible!" Knuckles snorted. Hitch lifted his chin up and putted a hoof on his chest. "I regret nothing" se said with a prideful tone, as the girls and Tails gave him a weird look, but Sonic and Knuckles laughed a bit more before finally calm down. "I even caught the moment earth ponies got their magic!" Pipp said excitedly as she showed another video with Posey in it. She stomped her hooves twice, using her earth pony magic to make a giant pink flower and gave off a proudly smile, before the flower came to fly and chomped Posey, trapping her inside the flower. "Nice one, sis" Zipp congratulated her sister as Pipp shook her head with a smile. Sonic whistled as he took a closer look to the blog. "You never cease to amaze me, Little Pipp" he admitted with a little smile. Pipp's cheeks turned a little red, as she smiled nervously. "T-Thanks, Sonic" she said. Suddenly, Izzy zipped around the couch and sat next to Pipp, grabbing her laptop into her hooves. "Whoa. So, it’s kinda like making a daisy chain. But, instead of daisies its weird talking picture squares" she said with a smile. Pipp started to feel nervous about Izzy having her laptop, since she never had one before. "Oh, right. But, it kind of took me all day to put it together" she pointed out with a nervous smile. "So, just be…" "So many memories" Izzy said cheerfully, while went through Pipp’s files to see other videos on the blog. Like the one where Sunny tried to teach ponies how to make smoothies. "And this!" Izzy said, scrolling to another video with two of Hitch’s animal crew standing in front of a picture Izzy and Hitch with holes to make them look like them, as two Pegasi laughed at the animals. "Oooh. And this!" Izzy said as she started to pass between several videos. The others smiled as Izzy went through the blog, while Sonic had a bad feeling about this and Pipp looked really nervous. "Seriously, Izz. You're gonna press…" she was about to say, but then... "Files erased" the laptop announced, shocking the Mane 5, especially Pipp and Izzy, and Team Sonic. "... the delete button" Pipp finished with a shock expression. "Um" Izzy said with a nervous smile and sweating. "Don’t worry. I know how to fix this. More typing!" she assured nervously and typed more on the laptop. "Files gone forever" the laptop said. The rest of the Mane 5 and Team Sonic gasped in shock at this. Pipp stared at Izzy with a mean look and twitchy eye, about to explode in anger, while Izzy gasped and nervously sweated before give a nervous smile to Pipp. "Even more typing?" she suggested. "Izzy, NO!" everyone else yelled as Pipp grabbed her laptop back before Izzy messed up anymore than she already did. "You did enough for a day, kiddo!" Knuckles added. Izzy then looked at Pipp with and apologetic expression. "I’m so sorry, Pipp!" she tries to apologize. "My hoof slipped. And then the button slipped. And then the picture squared slipped into the trash. And I just…" she tried to explain her mess up. Pipp was tearing up and started to shake looking at her laptop. She closed her eyes and her laptop, placing a hoof on her forehead. "It’s okay" Pipp said as she faced the rest of her friends with a forced smile. "We’ll just do it again next year!" she said as tears start coming out of her eyes. "No worries. Totally fine" she said with a cracked voice, and then got up from the couch. "Um, I’m just gonna take a nap" she finished and walked upstairs into the bedroom, slamming the door in the process, while everyone else flinched from the slam. Sonic then looked at his wrist like if he had a clock there, and Tails looked at him confused. "Um, what are you–?" he tried to ask, but Sonic cut him off. "3, 2, 1" Sonic counted down with his fingers, and then pointed at the bedroom door. And just like he expected, Pipp started wailing and crying out loud, while her friends felt bad for her. "Oh, it hurts!" she cried out. The rest looked at Izzy, while she felt bad for her screw up and began to lower herself to avoid her friend's looks. Tails then approached to the laptop and looked at it with a little idea crossed his mind. He ran towards Sonic's ear and told him the idea, as Sonic' eyes widened in surprise. "Are you sure? You think you can do it?" he asked him. "I have hacked on Eggman's deleted files thousands of times now" Tails reminded to his brother. "Some pictures and videos from a laptop? Peace of cake!" he assured with a smirk, then took Pipp's laptop and flew away. "Uh, what is he doing?" Zipp asked confused. Sonic approached to her ear and whispered what Tails told him, as Zipp's eyes widened as well. "He can do that?!" Zipp asked in disbelief. "He didn't earn the title of 'wonderkid' for nothing!" Sonic replied with a smile. "But he needs time, so we have to cheer up Pipp somehow as he makes his magic work!" he stated with confidence, as Zipp smiled back and nodded. "Wait, Tails has magic?!" Knuckles asked with surprise. "I'm gonna pretend you're just being sarcastic for my sanity's sake" Sonic said with a bored expression. "Everyone! We are going to cheer Little Pipp up, even if it's the last thing we'll do today!" he stated with a confident look, as everyone else nodded in agreement. A while later, Pipp was sitting on her bed with the pictures she managed to print, but they were hardly good without the videos and the rest of the files since they are gone, which make Pipp to sob. Then someone knocked the door. "You can come in" Pipp said sobbing, taking one of the pictures. The door opened and Izzy entered the room, holding a homemade picture frame of Pipp that she made with her Unicycling skills. "Hey, look. It’s me, Pipp" Izzy said, making it sound like her voice was coming through the frame. "The most, iconic, pegasus in Maretime Bay" she said, walking closer to Pipp. "With a song in my heart and a sparkle in my eye" she finished, and one of the frame's eyes fell off. Pipp cringed a little disturbed, but then smiled a little. The door opened again and a giant smoothie entered the room. "And did someone order a giant strawberry ripple smoothie with pegasus wings?" Sunny asked with a smile as she and Zipp came out from behind the smoothie with, Zipp carrying a can of whip cream. Sunny waved her hoof at Zipp, signaling her to add the wings from the whip cream. Zipp got the signal and shook the can of whip cream, then flied up to the top and was about to spray, but then started flying around uncontrollably as the whip cream sprayed out, making a shape of wings on the smoothie. Zipp came down as she and Sunny smiled at the great work, but then one side of the cream wingtips dropped on Sunny's face. Pipp smiled again, finding the situation funny. "Or…" Knuckles' voice called out as Pipp turned and saw Knuckles, Hitch and his animal crew right in front of her. "How about a cheer up dance!" Hitch cheered as he, Knuckles and the animal crew were wearing red coats. They tried to dance, but Hitch tripped on one of his animal friends and fell to the ground and bumped into his animal crew and Knuckles, leaving them dizzy in the process. Pipp then giggled at this as she smiled at them. "And if that doesn't work..." Sonic's voice was heard, and when she turned around to see him, her whole face became just as red as Sprout's. "Maybe a little glow up can make you feel better" Sonic added with a smile and a deep serious voice. He was wearing a black dinner suit, a white button-down shirt and a blue tie. Miraculously he wore pants, as he detested them, and black shoes that, while resembling his normal shoes, were much more elegant. "Huh..." Knuckles said with surprise. "That girl really has to mean something to him if he's willing to wear pants" he pointed out. "I'm sorry, what?" Hitch asked confused, still laying on the floor. Pipp felt her heart race like never before, and she started to feel a little warm too. She surreptitiously took out her phone and took a photo of Sonic in his suit, while her eyes sparkled and she smiled in delight at the hedgehog. She then calmed down a little, and looked at all of her friends. "Thanks, guys. But none of this is gonna bring back Maretime Bay Day" she said with a sad tone, as her friends looked at her feeling bad. Pipp walked out of the room while her friends looked at her with concerned looks, specially Izzy. Suddenly, both Zipp and Sonic got an idea on what she said. "Bring back Maretime Bay Day!" they both said with smiles. "That’s it!" Zipp said, as she walked towards the pictures on Pipp's bed and grabbed one with all of them sins Pipp, as Zipp nodded looking at the picture. "Everypony, follow me!" she announced as she trotted towards the door, with Sonic following her immediately. The rest looked at each other confused but decided to follow afterwards, until Sonic came back and stopped Sunny. "Sunny, hit the shower first" he requested, as Sunny picked a piece of the whip cream off her and gave out a chuckle, the trotted out of the room as well. Later that evening, Pipp was in the kitchen, putting together a castle made out of bread. "Yay" Pipp said in a non cheerful tone, still feeling down because of her files being deleted. Zipp and Sonic suddenly came zooming by with smiles and faced the young pegasus. "Pipp, come out into the garden. We got something to show you!" Zipp said, as Pipp faced her sister and her crush. "Um. I’m clearly a little busy building a sand castle" Pipp pointed out to the castle she made, but it crumbled and fell apart, which made Pipp flop onto the table in depression. "Hey, Little Pipp, trust us on this one" Sonic assured with a comforting smile, as Zipp got Pipp to stand on the chair and push it out the door and into the garden. "Look, unless you’ve recreated Maretime Bay Day in the garden…" Pipp was saying, but then gasped when she looked at the garden. "Ooohhh! You’ve like totally recreated Maretime Bay Day in the garden!" she cheered, now back to her happy self as she back flipped into the air and landed on all four hooves. She saw that her friends somehow made a replica of Maretime Bay Day festivities in the garden with the stands, flowers and a picture of Pipp in the back over a fountain. Pipp came to the cake stand and looked at the cakes in awe, then she went to the corn on a stick stand and ate one, and finally she saw a sand castle, where the rest of her friends had popped up from behind it. "Surprise!" the rest of the Mane 5, Tails and Knuckles cheered to Pipp with a smile. Pipp gasped with joy and looked at her friends with tears of joy and a smile. "It's perfect! Oh, wow so many feels" she cried out, as her friends came in front of her. "How did you do all this?" she asked them. "Well, we had pretty great materials to guide us" Izzy answered, as she motioned her head to the board behind them, with the pictures Pipp took and printed before the files were deleted. Zipp brought out Pipp's phone and extended to her. "Here, so you can refilm it" she with a smile. "Thanks, Zipp!" Pipp thanked and smiled back as she took her phone. She pointed the camera to her friends, who where looking at her with a smile, but then she started do have second thoughts about it. "But you know, I think I'd rather just enjoy an amazing time with my even more amazing friends" she confessed. The rest smiled at Pipp’s decision, and Sonic and Tails blinked at each other, knowing that Pipp would love her surprise. Pipp got on stage and faced forward with a determined look and a smile. "A one, two, three, hit it!" she yelled excited, as she started to dance along with Hitch and Izzy. (Hey) Try something new, take a chance, just believe it Let out your light, shining bright, can't you see it? Zipp, Sunny, Tails and Knuckles moved their heads through Pipp’s song, while Sonic tapped his foot in time to synchronize with the music. Woah-oh-oh, oh-oh, woah-oh-oh (Hey!) Woah-oh-oh, oh-oh, woah-oh-oh The rest decided to follow suit of the song and sang along Pipp, while enjoying the replica Maretime Bay Day festivities they made as well. Try something new, take a chance, just believe it Let out your light, shining bright, can't you see it? Izzy, Sunny and Knuckles were at the cotton candy stand, with Izzy using the maker to make one big of a cotton candy. Two of Hitch’s animal crew were dancing to the song, still in the same outfits of earlier. Sunny was placed on top of Hitch's back to put the finishing touches on the sand castle they've built earlier, as Pipp film the whole thing with a smile. Sonic, Tails, Pipp, and Zipp came out of the bushes and kept singing as the flowers bloomed. At Mane Melody (Hey!) At Mane Melody Hitch and Knuckles were back in the red coats, dancing with Hitch's animal crew. Pipp flew around the sky before she landed on top of the sand castle, as she and her friends finished the song. But the sand castle couldn't sustain Pipp’s weight and it collapsed, making Pipp to fall while her friends look in shock, except for Izzy who smiled as the picture was taken while catching Pipp before she fell to the ground. A little while later, Pipp printed out the pictures she took of the Maretime Bay Day replica her friends made and placed them on the board. She looked at it with a smile, and then Zipp, Tails and Sonic came close to her. "Hope you liked your surprise, Little Pipp" Sonic was the first to speak. "Like it?! I'd love it!" Pipp exclaimed, as she went to hug both Sonic and Zipp. "Thank you guys so much for that gift!" she thanked. "Your welcome, sis" Zipp replied with a smile. "Anytime, princess" Sonic said, smiling as well. "And there's other thing" Tails added, smiling while hided something behind him. "More?" Pipp questioned. "What could be better than my best friends recreating Maretime Bay Day in the garden for me?" she asked rhetorically, since she could not thing on anything better than that. "How about getting your files back?" Tails asked, as his smile grow bigger. "Oh, that would be great, but unfortunately..." Pipp was saying, but then stopped as an idea appeared on her mind, and felt some kind of hope growing inside her. "W-Why are you asking me that?" she questioned. Instead of answering, Tails took her computer from his back and putted on her desk, then opened and walked apart to let Pipp take a look at her computer. Nervous, Pipp walked to her laptop and putted her password in, and once the laptop unlocked, her eyes got sparkling and little tears of happiness appeared: her blog was intact, everything Izzy deleted was back, like if it never left. "H-How?!" Pipp asked in disbelief, as she went trough the whole blog, confirming that everything was back. "I have some magic tricks of my own" Tails said with a smile. "And I don't need actual magic to make it work" he added, scratching his head a little in embarrassment. "B-But I thought they were all gone!" Pipp exclaimed, still not able to believe that her blog was intact. "Yeah, Tails has a natural talent with technology, it's his thing" Sonic explained. "And since he has restored deleted files thousands of times before, he wanted to do this for you" he added with a proud smile towards his brother. Pipp immediately squished Tails into a hug, as the fox had difficulties to breath. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you so much, Tails!!!" Pipp thanked with tears of joy. "Y-You're welcome... princess" Tails replied, trying to catch some breath, as Zipp and Sonic laughed a little at the scene. THE END
