Sonic The Hedgehog x My Little Pony: Tell Your Tale

38. Foal Food

In the kitchen, Sunny was sweating nervously as she tried to make a batter for cookies, using the stand mixer, then rolling the dough while grunting in effort to flatten it, and then she stirred them in a bowl at fast paste.

After a while, Sunny smiled with sparkling eyes, looking at a big dough with sprinkles on it. "I’ve done it!" she cheered victoriously, but then the dough deflated and puffed out some sugar and sprinkles on Sunny's face, who got shocked at this outcome, then sighed in disappointment, while Hitch and Knuckles popped up from behind her, looking at each other, as Sunny looked at the dough, that suddenly let out some air.

"Uh..." Knuckles said with a raised eyebrow.

"Hey, buddy" Hitch said slowly with an anxious look and smile. "How’s it going?" he asked nervously.

Just then, Izzy popped up besides Hitch and Knuckles with a cheery smile. "Oh! Are we dressing like mimes? Fun!" she cheered with a smile, while the sisters, Sonic and Tails appeared next to know what's happening as well. "I am so ready" Izzy said, then started to do a mime personation with her front hooves as she gave off a little laugh while the others looked at her confused. Even Sunny raised an eyebrow at Izzy's weird question.

"Uh, no" Sunny answered, wiping the dough and sprinkles off her face. "I just wanted to make you all your favorite Winter Wishday cookies again" she explained. "But I don't remember were I putted the recipes! I can’t find the right ones anywhere!" she pointed out to the mess she caused by baking ingredients and stacking recipe books in the kitchen.

"And you complain about me being messy whenever I work" Tails muttered to Sonic with a bored expression.

"Don't get me started, lil' bro" Sonic warned with the same bored expression.

"I mean, I’ve never even heard of a Kiwi Pile of Crystal Unicorn Cookies…." Sunny pointed out, tossing the book she was reading while Izzy popped up from behind a counter with sparkling eyes and her tongue out, as Sunny picked up another book. "Or Royal Banana Bite…" she added, which made Zipp and Pipp smile as Zipp licked her mouth and they both placed their hooves on their cheeks. "Or… or…" Sunny tried to remember the name of another cookie.

"Grandma Figgy’s good old fashioned Marshmallow Citrus Crumblies?!" Hitch asked with a smile while placing his hooves on his face with sparkling eyes.

"Exactly!" Sunny confirmed with a wave of her hoof.

"I have no idea what half of those are, but they sound delicious" Knuckles said with a smirk and his arms crossed.

"Don’t worry about it, Sun" Zipp told her with a smile, placing her hoof on her shoulder. "We haven’t eaten those cookies since we were little foals" she pointed out.

"Yeah!" Izzy called out as she suddenly poked her hoof between them, which startled Sunny and Zipp as they backed up and Izzy still did the mime thing, pretending that she was climbing a rope. "And they’re never gonna taste as good as you remember them anyway" she added with a smile.

Sunny just glared in shock before giving out a challenging expression. "Oh, really…?" she asked them with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh boy, this should be interesting" Sonic declared to himself. "Hey, Sunny-bunny! No idea what are you doing, but I'm going too!" he stated with a smirk.

Sometime later, Sunny and Sonic were in the Marestream while flying through the sky, with Sonic driving it while Sunny looked at her book with a determined smile.

"Time for Operation: Wishday Cookie!" Sunny announced with a smile as she looked at her book. "First, we'll get Grandma Figgy's recipe, then we’ll get Alphabittle's help in Bridlewood, and then we’ll break into the palace at Zephyr Heights to find the top secret royal recipe" she listed out, but then both Sunny and Sonic gave an odd look at the last part.

"I'm sorry, what?” Sonic asked in confusion as he looked sideways at the book to wonder how that got there.

"I-I didn't wrote this!" Sunny pointed out in shock and confusion.

"Either Izzy wrote on your book or Zipp thinks everyone's her" Sonic said on a playful and sarcastic tone, while Sunny just rolled her eyes and smiled.

"Maybe" she retorted with a smirk.

"Next stop, Grandma Figgy’s house!" Sonic called out with a confident smile. "Where your boyfriend's grandmother lives!" he added, now with a teasing smirk.

Sunny blushed embarrassed after Sonic said that. "Sonic!" she scolded him. "Hitch and I are just friends! We're not a couple" she pointed out, frowning and still blushing.

"Yet" Sonic said with a confident smile.

Sunny groaned in embarrassment. "You've been mocking us with that ever since we met. Care to explain why?" she asked a bit annoyed.

"You two are quite a show" Sonic said with a smirk. "You like each other, I can see that a mile away. I wonder what would have happened if you two kissed down the mistletoe instead of Pipp and I" he added with a teasing tone

Now it was Sunny's turn to smirk teasingly as she brought her phone out. "Oh, you mean this kiss~?" she asked mockingly, showing Sonic the picture that Tails took and that he decided to sent to the rest except for Sonic and Pipp.

Sonic rolled his eyes and looked at Sunny with a smirk. "You guys aren't going to leave us alone after that happened, are you?" he asked.

"Nope!" Sunny replied with a smile.

"Ossharu tōri, misu toreirubureizā" Sonic said with a teasing tone, which caused Sunny to blush and hit him on his shoulder playfully.

In case you wonder what he said, he called her 'Miss Trailblazer' in Japanese.

A bit later, Figgy was sitting in her rocking chair, humming happily while also knitting something.

And then, Sunny suddenly came in by opening the door with no previous warning. "Grandma Figgy!" she called out in panic, while a thunder lightning bolt appeared behind her, which startled Figgy as she tossed her knitting in the air and her chair tip over, which caused her to fall to the floor.

Her knitting supplies were about to fall, but then Figgy stood up with a serious look and caught one of her needles, with the knitting thing on it, with one of her hinds hoofs, while also caught the other needle with her front hoof.

"Wow" Sonic said surprised. "From now on, I'm not underestimating my elders anymore!" he commented with a smile.

"Wise decision, dear" Figgy said with a smirk.

Sunny then rushed in towards Figgy. "You gotta teach us how to make Hitch's favorite Wishday Cookies!" she pleaded, but stopped when Figgy pointed a needle at her face with a look. "Uh… Please?" Sunny asked while sweating nervously, thinking Figgy is mad at her.

Figgy adjusted her glasses a bit while still giving her a look... just to smile happily all of a sudden. "Hmm… Oh, Sunny. I'd love to teach you!" she said with a smile, before getting serious again. "If you think you’re ready" she added, while giving a stink eye to the pony and the hedgehog.

"Uh… W-What?" Sunny asked confused.

"S-Sure thing! He he he..." Sonic said with a nervous smile. I should have stayed on the Marestream... he thought with concern.

Back in the Brighthouse, Tails was sitting on the table near the kitchen, watching the trailer for a movie on his Miles Electric with headphones, while Pipp at his side looked at her social media... or at least she tried to, but something was wondering around on her mind.

"Hey, uh, Tails..." Pipp called out.

Despite wearing headphones, Tails had the volume low, so he could hear Pipp calling him out. "Yeah?" he said, putting both his headphones and his Miles Electric aside.

"With Sunny making this cookies for us, and now that Sonic decided to got with her, I was wondering... do you guys happened to have a favorite cookie back home?" Pipp asked curiously.

Tails though about it for a bit, not so sure himself. "Well... aside from Chilidogs, I've never seen Sonic eating anything that he loves that–– Oh wait!" he said suddenly, then boosted towards his room, just to be back soon enough with a grey book on his hands.

He opened the book and revealed that it was actually a photo album, and Pipp just smiled brightly with sparkling eyes at the adorable pictures of Sonic when he was a kid.

"Oh. My. Glitter!" Pipp said with a smile, looking at a picture of Sonic with a Santa hat and coat, as Sonic looked with a bored expression to the camera. "This is so cute~!" she added with a giggle.

"Yeah... Longclaw used to dress us like a guy called Santa Claus back home" Tails explained. "But Sonic has always been a 'I'm too cool for this' kind of guy, so you can imagine how much he hated it" he added with a smirk. "But I'm not showing you this so you can see how adorable we were back then" he pointed out, then moved to a certain picture and show it to her. "This picture was taken the same year I met Sonic" he said.

The picture in question was one of Longclaw patting Sonic's and Tails' heads with closed eyes and a smile, while both Sonic and Tails happily chomped a cookie that looked like a chocolate one, but it also had different sprinkles and a strawberry glaze.

"That's Longclaw?" Pipp asked curiously.

"Yeah" Tails replied with a sad smile. "She raised Sonic and taught him everything she knew. Then she accepted me like a son as well" he explained. "And she loved to cook a lot. Those cookies were definitely the best part of our Christmas" he confessed. "They were the only thing that Sonic loved more than Chilidogs... even more than running" he added.

Pipp looked at the picture with a sad expression, not only noticing how adorable Sonic was as a kid, but also how happy he looked.

With a determinate expression, Pipp looked at Tails. "Do you remember the recipe?" she asked to him. "Of these cookies, I mean" she added.

"Yeah. I used to cook them with Longclaw sometimes, so I know the recipe" Tails said with a smile, that vanished as he raised an eyebrow. "Why?" he questioned to her.

Pipp let out a sigh before looking up at the ceiling. "I... I want to give something to Sonic" she confessed. "Not only as a Wishentine/Christmas present, but also as a personal thing..." she added with a slight blush.

Tails smiled kindly at her. "That's a pretty good detail, actually" he said. "And, is the perfect excuse for you to get close to him after he gave you a smooch" he added on a mocking tone.

Pipp blushed a lot after he mentioned that. "T-Tails!" she scolded him.

Tails laughed a bit before calming down. "I can give you a hand with the recipe of the cookies, actually, but since I feel like Sunny is going to use the kitchen once she comes back, we should do this somewhere else" he pointed out.

"Wait! You're gonna help me?!" Pipp asked with a smile.

"Of course!" Tails said, smiling back. "I was planning to surprise him with the cookies, anyways, but I think he'll love them more if they come from you directly" he added, again, with a teasing smirk.

Pipp just hugged him tightly in response. "Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you so much, Tails!" she said with a bright smile.

"N-No... problem" Tails barely said as Pipp hugged him.

A little bit later, Sunny and Sonic each putted on a green apron with stars on it, while Figgy placed some tablespoons, one each on different sides, then a green spoon, and then held up a whisk with a determined expression.

Figgy tossed the whisk in the air with a smile and then began to stir a batter in a bowl.

"So, uh, do you have the recipe written down somewhere, or…" Sunny asked with a smile.

"Oh, no, dear" Figgy answered with a smile. "It's all in here" she said while pointing a hoof to her chest where her heart is.

"Aw, that's sweet" Sunny said with a smile while bringing out her book and her pen to write it down. "So, how much flour?" she asked, while Sonic rolled his eyes with a smile.

"Why, just listen to your heart, and your hooves will follow" Figgy said with a smile as she walked off to get the next one.

"Oh, boy…" Sunny said with anxiety.

"This will take a while..." Sonic muttered in annoyance.

In the Bridlewood tea shop, a unicorn stallion was about to walk out the door, but then he heard something coming as Sunny and Sonic opened the doors, with Sunny having a pot on her head while Sonic had a bored expression.

"Alphabittle, we need your help!" Sunny said quickly with a twitchy eye.

Alphabittle looked at the two with a determined smile, putting on a chef hat.

"Now, stir three times clockwise, throw some salt over your left shoulder, and break an egg with your right hoof" Alphabittle explained, while Sunny and Sonic were stirring the batter and Sunny grabbed some salt. "That's to chase away the cake ghosts" Alphabittle whispered to them and walked off, leaving Sunny and Sonic with strange looks as Sunny threw salt over her right shoulder, which made Alphabittle panic. "Aah! I said left shoulder! Do you want cake ghosts?!" he asked in a panic tone as he got into their faces.

Sunny and Sonic gave Alphabittle a nervous look as Sonic threw salt over his left shoulder.

"Man, I didn't expected to become a chef today..." Sonic muttered with concern.

Sometime ago in Figgy’s house, Figgy twirled around while Sunny and Sonic watched her confused. Figgy hopped around while doing a little dance around them.

"And Hitch still believes she's a perfectionist" Sonic retorted with a smirk, while Sunny giggled at his side.

Figgy then putted some sprinkles into the bowl, a teaspoon of sugar, and one egg into it, which made Sunny to write it down quickly in her book as she sweated because of how fast Figgy was going.

Figgy then held up something that was peeled as she gave it a kiss on both hoofs, while the two ponies and hedgehog looked at the bowl. "Bake with your heart, not with your hooves!" Figgy said with a smile as she putted the peeled things into the bowl.

Back in Bridlewood, Alphabittle was doing some weird moves with grunting sounds, surrounded by some bowls and pots.

Sunny tried to follow his moves, feeling a bit ridiculous as she grunted in effort, while Sonic just stared at them with a 'you've gotta be kidding me' expression. But just when he was about to turn around, he slipped with a pot and landed in the floor with his face, as the pot he slipped on flew in the air and landed on his head, making him growl in annoyance.

Alphabittle used a blue spoon to pick some kiwis and put them on his bow with a serious expression.

Sunny and Sonic followed along, with Sunny holding a pink one while Sonic's blue. They putted their kiwis in their bowls, but then Alphabittle screamed as he came next to them. "Aah! You used the Jinxie spoon, Sunny!" he cried out in a panic as Sunny looked at her spoon in shock while Sonic facepalmed.

"This unicorn jinxies are giving me a headache..." Sonic muttered in annoyance.

Sometime later after Alphabittle, the Marestream flew straight to Zephyr Heights as it headed to the palace.

While making it to the Royal Palace, Sunny and Sonic were hiding behind a pillar, while Zoom and Thunder came out of a door while doing their guard duties.

However, while Sunny had the plan to sneak in, Sonic stopped her suddenly.

"What?" Sunny asked confused.

"Instead of sneaking in and do something ilegal, leave this one to me, Sunny. I have an idea" Sonic said with confidence.

"Are you sure?" Sunny asked worried.

"Don't worry, Sunny-bunny. I've got this!" Sonic declared, walking towards the two pegasi with a confident smirk.

Once he got in front of them, the pegasi saluted at him, so he replied with a smile and another salute.

"Hey guys! Look, I know Queen Haven is busy and all, but my friend Sunny over there..." Sonic started to explain, pointing at Sunny still hiding behind the pillar, as she slowly came out and waved her hoof with a sheepish smile. "... needs a recipe to surprise Zipp and Pipp back at the Brighthouse. Can I get in and request the recipe for a second?" he asked with a friendly tone.

Zoom and Thunder looked at each other for a moment before nodding and step aside to let Sonic in.

"Thanks, guys!" Sonic said with a smile. "I'll be back in 2 minutes" he told to Sunny before entering the place.

In Figgy’s house, Sunny was following Figgy's instructions as she gave her marshmallows kisses and placed each one in her bowl, while Figgy nodded in approval.

Inside Zephyr Heights’ palace, Sonic walked down the corridor as he whistled at the view of the place.

"I swear every time I enter this place, I'm always flabbergasted" Sonic said with a smile.

"Sonic?" a female voice called out.

Sonic saw Queen Haven in front of a book that was on a pedestal, looking a bit abandoned to tell the truth.

"Hi, Haven!" Sonic greeted with a smile. "Sorry to interrupt, but I need to request a little favor, if you don't mind" he said, now scratching his head a bit embarrassed.

After 2 exact minutes, Sonic came out of the palace with a smile and walked towards Sunny.

"So, did you got it?" Sunny asked desperately.

Sonic's smile grew bigger, and he took out his phone to show her a picture of the recipe from the book, which made Sunny smile with sparkling eyes.

"I told you that I've got this" Sonic said with a proud smile. "Now, let's get back to Maretime Bay!" he stated.

Both he and Sunny got on the Marestream, as Sonic flew the vehicle towards the Crystal Brighthouse in Maretime Bay.

At Figgy’s house, Sunny gave a determined expression as she putted her cookie batters on the baking plate at fast paste.

Figgy gave her a smile before tossing a brush from her tail at her. But then, Sunny smirked and caught the brush with her hoof, then twirled it around. Figgy gasped in shock before smiling. "Now... you're ready" she said with a smile.

"Somehow I got all messy, yet I didn't cooked..." Sonic pointed out confused, covered in flour and standing next to Figgy, who just tossed a broom to him with a smirk. "And this is what happens when I open my mouth..." he told himself with a bored expression, and then started sweeping.

Sometime later, Sunny and Sonic made it back to the Brighthouse after they got the recipes they needed for their friends' favorite cookies.

In the kitchen, Sunny was trying to make the cookies, but was having some trouble.

"Spin four times? Or five times?" Sunny asked panicked, as she added a lot of flour and stirred it fast. "Add a pinch of, uh... Wait, what was it? Something about a sunbeam?" she asked herself as she poured a bunch of other stuff into the bowl as she looked at her journal with the recipes inside, but then the cookie batter exploded into her face as it was covered with flour again. Sunny coughed and sighed in disappointment.

"Seems like you could use some help" Sonic said with a smile, appearing at her side with a towel that he used to clean up the flour of her face.

"I mean, sure, but..." Sunny said, sighing again in sadness. "This isn't working out as I though..." she added.

Sonic smiled softly at her. "Hey, you travelled across the entire country to make your father's and your dream come true; you saved magic from disappearing and created new magic. You're even aware of a darker force coming up and you're preparing to face it!" he pointed out at her. "Some cookies aren't that big of a deal. And besides, you're forgetting the most important step: bake with your heart, not with your hooves" he finished with a confident smirk, pointing at her chest with a finger.

Sunny looked down at her chest, remembering what Grandma Figgy said. 'Bake with your heart, not with your hooves...!' Figgy’s voice echoed through her mind as she calmed down and gave a determined expression. "My heart, not my hooves" she said confidently.

"Exactly" Sonic said with a smirk. "Now, let’s get baking!" he declared, while Sunny nodded in agreement.

Both Sunny twirled around with a smile while placing some ingredients the way Figgy did.

Sunny kissed a marshmallow with a smile as she placed it in the bowl, then kissed a box of flowers and poured some on the bowl.

Sonic then threw salt over his left shoulder with a determined look.

The cookie batter sparkled, then gave out some ghost-like smokes, which startled Sonic completely.

"Perhaps the unicorns aren't that crazy with the Jinxie stuff after all..." Sonic said with an anxious look.

Sometime later, after Sunny and Sonic baked the cookies, they walked to the table where their friends were.

Tails and Knuckles just stood along Sonic since the cookies were not for them.

"Your extra-special Winter Wishday cookies are served!" Sunny announced, as she and Sonic placed the three plates of different cookies, one of each tribe's favorites for their friends, on the table.

"Meshiagare!" Sonic added with a smile, telling them 'Bon Appetite!' in Japanese, while he was covered in some flour.

The rest of their friends smiled at this while Izzy gasped in awe. "Come on, guys, you didn't have to…" Hitch tried to say with a smile, but when he picked up a cookie from the earth pony plate of cookies, he saw the cookie was bubbling. "...Oh" he said, finding his cookie weird.

Pipp and Zipp picked up some cookies from the pegasus plate as they frizz out like fireworks, while the two sisters gasped in shock.

Izzy saw her plate of cookies as a cake ghost smoke came out with a little wail, which made Izzy's spine chill as she sweated nervously. "Oh! Cake ghost!" she whispered, turning her head away.

"Kinda saw this reaction coming, but still... Ouch" Sonic muttered with worry as he sweated a bit

"Okay, I know they don't look exactly how you remember, but—" Sunny tried to say, but Hitch cut her off.

"No! Uh, they look great!" Hitch called out with a nervous smile.

"Uh-huh" The rest of the Mane 5 agreed with nervous smiles as well.

"Can't wait to taste it. Uh…" Hitch said nervously as he got the cookie closer and took a bite out of it.

Zipp, Pipp and Izzy followed along as they took a bite out of their cookies. But then, the four ponies' eyes went wide as they started to remember...

Fillies Zipp and Pipp were together at the Zephyr Heights castle, eating cookies similar to what Sunny and Sonic made as they looked at each other before giggling together.

Filly Izzy was in The Crystal Tea Room in Bridlewood, eating a cookie similar to what Sunny and Sonic made.

"Ah!" Young Izzy said to a spoon with a smiling face on it with a pencil glued to its head like a unicorn with a teacup in the back to keep it balance while trying to share her cookie with it.

Foal Hitch was at his grandmother’s place, as he sighed with a smile when Figgy gave his head a rub before giving him a cookie similar to what Sunny and Sonic made.

"Ah!" Young Hitch said, as he grabbed the cookie and took a bite out of it with a smile, while Figgy gave his grandson a smile.

Sunny and Sonic looked at their friends with raised eyebrows.

And then, the Mane 5 sins Sunny started to eat rapidly the cookies, which startled both Sunny and Sonic.

Hitch held up two cookies on his hooves as he gave a tearful expression. "Just like Grandma Figgy used to make!" he said with a nostalgic tone.

"Okay, the change of attitude was unexpected, but I'm not complaining" Sonic said with a smile.

"I'm still surprised you managed to cook without burning the whole place down" Tails told Sonic with a smirk.

"It was a one time thing!" Sonic groaned in frustration. "I only wanted to make breakfast!" he pointed out with a frown.

"And it ended on Longclaw punishing you without Chilidogs for two months" Knuckles pointed out with a smirk as well. "I wasn't there, but Tails told me everything" he added, while Sonic groaned and rolled his eyes.

Pipp then came next to Sunny with a smile. "We made a Wishday cookie for you, too!" she said, pointing behind her and seeing Izzy holding a stack of cookies that looked like Sunny in her Alicorn form.

"Oh!" Sunny said as she turned and gasped at the cookies. She picked one up, and despite some decorations fell, she didn't mind at all. Sunny tried to take a bite, but cringed as she removed the cookie and now had a piece of her tooth broken.

"Not sure we got the recipe quite right" Hitch said sheepishly as he gave an apologetic smile to Sunny.

Sunny just laughed it up, with the rest joining her.

Sonic, however, just went aside to clean up the flour of his body, and Tails 'surreptitiously' approached Pipp and pushed her shoulder slightly, while indicating with his head that she should go with Sonic.

Pipp gulped nervously, but still decided to give it a shot, as she walked towards Sonic, who got cleaned up with a kitchen towel.

"H-Hey, Sonic..." Pipp called out nervously, also blushing.

"Hey, Little Pipp" Sonic greeted back with a smile. "You okay? You seem a bit nervous" he pointed out a bit concerned.

"Y-Yeah! E-Everything's fine!" Pipp said, gulping again as she brought a paper bag out of her wing. "I-I just, uh... I-I wanted to give you this" she said, extending the bag to Sonic.

Sonic grabbed the bag and looked inside of it, finding some cookies that seemed somehow familiar, but he couldn't tell why exactly.

"Wow, this looks delicious!" Sonic said with a smile. "Thanks, Little Pipp. You shouldn't have!" he added.

While Pipp just smiled nervously, still blushing, Sonic chomped the same cookie he took out... just for his eyes to went wide as well. Now it was clear why the cookies seemed familiar: Longclaw used to bake them, and they tasted exactly like she used to bake them.

"Pipp..." Sonic called out in shock. "H-How did you..." he wanted to ask, but the amount of emotions he felt didn't allowed him to speak properly.

"I kinda help her with the recipe, but she wanted to make them just for you!" Tails decided to step in, since Pipp was too nervous to speak, but she just nodded with a sheepish smile at what Tails said.

"I-I-I wanted to give you something that could remind you of your mother figure, a-a-and I though that the cookies could be the perfect excuse" Pipp explained, sweating nervously. "B-But if you don't want them, it's okay! N-No need to––" she tried to add, however...

Sonic putted the cookie back on the bag, then putted the bag aside and hugged Pipp all of a sudden. Pipp was taken aback, and her blush just increased.

"Pipp... thank you" Sonic whispered at her with a weak tone and a smile. "Y-You have no idea how much this means to me..." he added.

Pipp smiled softly, as her blush finally disappeared. "It was my pleasure, Blue Star" she said, wrapping the hedgehog in a warm hug as well.
