Sonic The Hedgehog x My Little Pony: Tell Your Tale

by BronySonicFan

58. Sparkle School

In Maretime Bay, Sparky was running top speed for some reason.

First, he passed besides a pair of stallions, which looked at him confused. Then, he traversed a bunch of bushes and could had bumped into a pegasus stallion, if he didn't noticed Sparky at the last second and flied aside.

Meanwhile, in Mane Street, there seemed to be some kind of running competition between the ponies, and Windy was the one that got closer to the finish line, while the crowd around cheered to her, Misty included, since she was there as well.

"I've done it! I've done––" Windy was cheering, but then, Sparky launched a small blast of his Dragon Fire to the finish line, making it disappear entirely, which shocked the crowd and angered Windy. "Hey!" she said madly.

On the other side of town, Hitch was running by some ponies. "Sorry!" he apologized, before jumping over the Pippsqueaks, which were all eating Ice Creams. "Excuse me!" he apologized again.

However, he stopped looking were he was going, because he crashed with a cake that an earth pony mare was selling to a unicorn mare, and the cake splatted on his face.

Then, as Hitch kept running, he was passing right in front of an earth pony family that was taking a picture in front of the sea, but he jumped in front of them and smile sheepishly at the camera, still with the cake on his head. "Cheese!" he said, just when the picture was taken. "Gotta go!" he said, as he kept running, leaving the earth pony family confused.

Just then, both Hitch and Sparky saw at each other, and they both smiled happily.

"Sparky!" Hitch exclaimed with joy, while Sparky babbled like the happy baby dragon he is.

And finally, Sunny was at her smoothie stand, making a smoothie on her blender, but her expression showed that she had a rough night. Still, she was willing to keep working and give ponies their orders, no matter how many times Eggman and his Death Egg Titan tortured her in her nightmares.

However, Sparky jumped over a bowl of fruits she had over the stand's counter and felt startled, while Sparky grabbed an orange and jumped in the air, before happily land on Hitch's hooves, as father and son smiled at each other.

Then, Sparky launched the orange to the air, followed by him launching a spark of his dragon fire. Once the fire hit the orange up in the sky, it transformed it into a bunch of french fries that fell to the ground.

"Aw, Sparky!" Hitch said with a touched smile, as he looked at his baby dragon. "You know fries are my favorite!" he pointed out happily, as he caught one with his mouth and chomped it happily. "You're the best little buddy ever!" he stated, as he hugged the baby dragon, while his Cutie Mark started to shine brightly, and Sparky giggled at Hitch's hug.

Not so far from them, Misty and Tails watched the whole thing with smiles.

"Wow! Hitch's Cutie Mark is so, so sparkly!" Misty said with a smile, while she placed her hooves on her cheeks and her eyes literally turned into hearts.

"Yup!" Tails said with a smile as well. "Everypony's flank shines whenever unity among them is strong! Although, Pipp's Cutie Mark shone bright when she confessed to Sonic, and he's not a pony... Maybe the fact that our powers are half-magic has something to do with it, I don't know" he pointed out.

However, Misty looked over at her own Cutie Mark and felt sad. "Mine has never sparkled like that..." she said with disappointment.

"Really?" Tails asked confused. "Are you absolutely sure, Mist?" he added.

Misty rubbed her chin and thought about it for a second...

A few days ago, Sonic, Zipp and Misty were racing across the sky.

Sonic once again was using the Blue Star II to keep up with Zipp, while Misty was being held on an Extreme Gear herself that Tails made for her. It was pink and blue with her Cutie Mark below the board, and all she had to do was to move her hooves to guide the vehicle properly, which se was doing well so far.

However, as she enjoyed her time along Sonic and Zipp, she noticed that her Cutie Mark was starting to shine, and her eyes sparkled for a second... But the moment she turned to see her Cutie Mark, it stopped shining, and she lost her balance, almost falling from the sky if Sonic didn't caught her in time.

Another day, she decided to help out in Mane Melody.

Misty sweated a bit nervously as she levitated some boxes and the stuff inside to put them on their place in an open shelf, while Pipp instructed her where to put them with a smile.

However, Misty looked at her Cutie Mark for a second again, thinking it was going to shine, but by doing so, she accidentally moved the box she was levitating, and it ended up landing on Jazz's head, as the products inside fell to the ground, although none of them broke, while Amy and Rouge came by to pick up the products and get the box off Jazz's head.

And finally, another day, Misty helped Hitch, Sunny and Knuckles.

They had to deal with some critters that stoled some cupcakes both Sunny and Knuckles baked as a dessert for dinner that night, and Misty grabbed the last one from a bunnycorn, while the critter looked down in shame for stealing the cupcake in the first place.

With this, Misty's Cutie Mark was starting to shine again, and both Sunny and Misty smiled at it... But then, a raccoonicorn and Sparky grabbed two of the cupcakes and ran away with them.

"Sparky!" Hitch called out in panic.

"Come back here, you young dragon!" Knuckles scolded as well.

This called Sunny and Misty's attention, which also made Misty's Cutie Mark stop shining, as the three ponies and echidna ran off to chase down Sparky and the raccoonicorn.

Misty looked down in sadness after explaining everything to Tails.

"Hey, come on. Cheer up a bit, Mist!" Tails told her with a smile, as he placed a hand on her shoulder. "These things take time. You can't expect everything to go smoothly at the first try!" he pointed out.

"Is still a bit disappointing..." Misty pointed out with concern.

But before Tails could say anything to cheer her up, Izzy zoomed by suddenly and side-hugged the unicorn mare, startling her a bit.

"Hey, Misty-twisty!" Izzy greeted her with a cheerful smile, before looking over at Hitch and Sparky with sparkling eyes, also placing her hooves on her cheeks. "Aww! Hitch and Sparky are totally the cutest, aren't they?" she asked, while Hitch and Sparky were feeding fries to each other happily.

"Is good to see that Hitch lets Sparky be more Sparky!" Tails said with a smile. "Totally gets them off the schedule" he pointed out.

"Yeah..." Misty agreed. "And look at that Cutie Mark! It's so bright..." she pointed out, before looking at her Cutie Mark with concern again. "I don't think mine works right... It's never shine like that..." she said with disappointment.

"Whaaaaat?!" Izzy asked confused, as she looked around and tried to think on any time Misty's Cutie Mark did shine, but she got nothing. "Sure it has, Misty!" she said anyways, in an attempt to cheer Misty up.

"Didn't it shine like that when Sunny was using her magic against Opaline?" Tails questioned confused.

"No..." Misty denied, shaking her head. "But it's okay!" she assured with a smile. "It probably just... doesn't work like everypony else's because I got it so late..." she pointed out, looking down in sadness and concern.

"Aww!" Izzy said sadly, before smiling and drag Misty away by grabbing her from her hoof, which startled the unicorn mare a bit, while Tails flew and followed them from the air. "It's never too late to get your Cutie Mark magic coming, Misty!" Izzy assured her with a smile.

"Yup! I agree with that!" Tails said, as he landed and dragged Misty away, making her twirl around a bit and face him, which made Misty blush a lot. "We just have to figure out what really get it going!" he stated with a wink, and Misty's blush increased, while she also felt butterflies on her stomach.

However, she had no time to process that, because Izzy spoke next. "Listen closely to me! Finding your sparkle is just like poetry!" she explained with a smile, before hoping away.

"I was going to say something else..." Tails said, as he rubbed his chin. "Your Cutie Mark almost did shine when you were helping your friends out... Maybe that's they key to make it sparkle!" he pointed out with a smile.

"Yeah, that sounds a lot more appealing that the poetry thing..." Misty said with a sheepish smile, before turning to the other unicorn mare. "Izzy, I'm not sure I understand––" she tried to argue.

"My thoughts exactly!" Izzy interrupted her, getting to her side again. "Come on, Misty! You're one of us now, and best friends always help you sort stuff out!" she declared happily, as she made Misty twirl around a bit.

"They do?" Misty asked confused.

"Of course!" Tails spoke this time, side hugging her and nuzzling his cheek with hers, which made her get all red and flustered. "Friendship's about helping each other if we can! And we definitely can help you, Mist!" he added with another wink.

Misty chuckled with a massive blush, and then, she was twirled around by Izzy, until she landed on Izzy's Unicycle Cart, while Izzy levitated a helmet with Misty's Cutie Mark over the named mare's head, with Izzy wearing her helmet as well.

"All you need is a little bit of sparkle school!" Izzy stated happily, before hopping on her cart next to Misty. "Wanna come with us, Tails?" she asked him with a smile.

"Smash the gas, Izz, 'cause we're moving at top speed!" Tails replied, flying with a loop in the air before stopping behind behind the cart and use his powers to get a helmet on his head and some rockets on his shoes.

"Let's do this!" Izzy stated, as Tails turned on the rockets and made his tails spin, while Izzy smashed the gas pedal and drove her cart away.

At the Brighthouse, Izzy took Misty to her workspace as the first thing to help Misty find her sparkle.

Both Izzy and Tails putted their welding helmets on, with Misty doing the same. Then, she used her welding tool on a piece of metal, while her Cutie Mark started to flick a bit. This caught Misty's attention, and she lifted her helmet up, but this made her hold her welding tool a bit too strong, and so, she started shaking around while yelping.

Once she turned off her welding tool, she fell face first, with Tails immediately moving over to help her stand up, while Izzy's workspace was all torched up, and Misty hardly stood up with Tails' help, because she was feeling dizzy.

Next, the trio went to the Sheriff Station.

This time, they were with Hitch, Knuckles and Sparky, with the sheriff doing some paperwork and Izzy and Knuckles being all lovey-dovey with each other, while Tails and Misty smiled at Sparky, and the baby dragon giggled at them excitedly.

Misty turned away and closed her eyes, while Tails gestured Sparky to hide, so the baby dragon ran off.

After searching for a while, Misty opened the closet with a smile. "Boo!" she exclaimed cheerfully, since she found Sparky, while the baby dragon giggled happilly.

After searching for Sparky again, Misty checked the drawers. "Gotcha!" she cheered, while Sparky popped up and her Cutie Mark flickered again. She turned and looked at it, but it stopped flickering, and it saddened her.

Tails noticed this and placed a hand on her shoulder, smiling warmly at her, and even if Misty got a slight blush again, as well as more butterflies on her stomach, she still smiled back at him.

Now, Misty and Zipp were rolling skating around Maretime Bay, with Tails following them.

"Whoo-hoo!" Misty cheered, as the two mares kept rolling skating happily.

Zipp got in front of Misty and jumped with a twirl, while Misty jumped as well. "Yeah!" she cheered and laughed, looking at her Cutie Mark again that was flickering a little stronger, but since she got distracted, she hit face first in a cart full of apples and slumped.

The apple cart was Fifi's, and the pegasus looked shocked by this, while Izzy, Tails and ZIpp went to Misty with concern because of her crash.

Now, In Mane Melody, Misty was in the storage back room with Pipp, Amy and Rouge, since the girls were mixing some makeup and glitter ingredients.

Again, no magic ingredients involved.

Misty putted the final drop into the batch, which turned orange, and Pipp spread her wings with a smile, while Misty smiled at their work as well, while her Cutie Mark started to sparkle, drawing her attention again with a smile.

But in her distraction, Misty accidentally putted another drop into the bowl, making Pipp and Amy gasp, while Rouge raised an eyebrow confused and Misty turned to see that the bowl started to glow.

And then, the bowl exploded, covering the two ponies and two Mobians in orange glitter, with their manes and hairs blowing back from the reaction, while all the girls just stood there with wide eyes.

When everything fails, there's just one thing to do: Give up.

Nah, just kidding. Now that everything else didn't worked, Tails decided to take Misty to Sunny's smoothie stand to see if that would finally help her out.

However, Misty was feeling overwhelmed instead, because there were a ton of ponies around the stand that wanted their orders to be attended.

"Uh, okay! That's one Strawberry Dream. No-no-no, I mean, uh, a Dreamy Ripple?" Misty corrected herself, trying to get the orders right, while Sunny walked around, although because of her lack of sleep, she barely payed attention at the orders. "Oh! Order up! Here you go!" Misty said, but when she was about to give the smoothies to a stallion, she accidentally splat them on his face and some on her mane. "Ah! Sorry!" she said sheepishly, while the stallion looked irritated at her.

Shortly after, another batch of smoothies were made, but Misty tripped again, and two more smoothies flew off. Soon, several amore ponies kept getting splashed with smoothies, each time Misty tried to pass them down.

And at the end? Multiple smoothie flavors covered the entire pony crowd, including Misty, who was covered in multiple flavors, while Sunny was busy making more smoothies to even notice, although her tiredness could also be playing an important factor here.

"What is wrong with me?!" Misty questioned herself with concern. "What was I thinking?! I can't do this!" she cried out, now tearing up.

Outside the stand, Izzy and Tails were about to enter to see how Misty was doing, but then, the door opened itself, and Misty trotted off in despair, which surprised them both, while Sunny finished the smoothies.

With a yawn, Sunny putted the straws in Smoothie cups. "I've got two Dreamy Greenies all ready, Misty" she said tiredly, but with a smile, one that faded away when she turned around and saw many cubs on the ground, while Misty wasn't there anymore. "Misty?" she called out confused, and her eyes widened.

That's when she looked out of the stand and noticed Misty running away in despair, also covered with smoothies.

"Misty! Come back! It's okay!" Sunny called out with concern.

"Misty..." Tails muttered with concern, before rubbing his chin and think about something. "Her Cutie Mark was so close to sparkle whenever she was helping her friends... But we never considered helping her!" he realized.

"What?" Izzy asked confused at his side.

"I know how to help her! And I'm gonna need Omega for it" Tails stated, but instead of explaining himself, he boosted away at top speed.

Sunny was about to follow him, but when he mentioned Omega, her mind flashed back to the day Eggman almost conquered Equestria with the Death Egg Titan, and she grabbed her head in pain, something Izzy noticed as she went and placed a hoof on her back and the other one on her cheek.

"Sunny?!" Izzy called out, confused and worried for her.

"... I... I'm fine, Izz..." Sunny lied with a nervous smile. "I guess I'm just a bit lost lately..." she pointed out.

In the Brighthouse, Sonic and Shadow were a bit busy.

After what happened in Mane Melody, Pipp and Amy requested help from the two male hedgehogs to clean them off the orange glitter, while Rouge decided to take a bath, refusing to let either Sonic or Shadow to put a hand on her.

However, as Shadow putted on a bored expression while drying off some glitter from Amy's left arm, Sonic was casually drying off Pipp's mane with a smile, and Pipp even purred like a kitten. I mean, they have bathed together and dried each other's body after showering and... doing other stuff not rated E for Everyone.

Suddenly, though, Sonic's watch made a beep sound, so Sonic pressed the button to attend the call. "Yo!" he greeted with a smile.

"Sonic! Have you any idea where's Omega?!" Tails' voice spoke desperately.

"Uh..." Sonic muttered, before looking around the Brighthouse, until he spotted Omega, turned off and recharging on the station that Tails built for him near Izzy's crafting corner. "He's here at the Brighthouse on his Recharge Station. Why?" he asked curiously.

"No time to explain! Just sent him to my coordinates!" Tails replied and immediately ended the call.

Sonic just stared at his watch confused, but decided to shrug it off, and so, he walked towards Omega's station.

Misty was still running in tears, as a pegamouse flew by after hanging on a tree branch like a bat.

"Ugh. Even with everypony trying to help me, my cutie mark still doesn't work!" Misty said in despair, before shaking off the smoothie contents off her and wipe her tears. "Who was I kidding? I'll never fit in with these ponies..." she said disappointed.

And then, multiple eyes from within the trees started appearing around Misty, hissing madly at the unicorn mare, while Misty looked scared at the eyes.

"And now you're in some super spooky woods, all alone!" Misty continued, looking around in fear at the eyes watching over her. "Good one, Misty. Can't you do anything right?" she questioned herself with a frown.

My gosh, Misty. Can you ever do anything right?!

Opaline's voice echoed on her mind, and her eyes widened after she realized what she just said, before sighing in defeat and just lay on a tree.

It didn't mattered how many times her friends told her she was forgiven for working with Opaline and Eggman, she hasn't forgiven herself. Specially because she remembers how hurt and broken Tails seemed after she came out clean to him... She still can't believe he forgive her as well, because she believes she doesn't deserve him...

"No... Is not only him..." Misty muttered to herself, while tears started to show up again. "I don't deserve any of them..." she added in sadness, as she sobbed a bit.

"And who says so?" Tails' voice spoke softly, which made Misty open her eyes widely.

She looked at her side and noticed that not only Tails, but also Omega were there, looking down at her, with Tails smiling sheepishly.

"Tails? Omega?" Misty said surprised, wiping away her tears. "W-What are you doing here?" she asked confused.

"I was worried about you" Tails said. "I mean, it's kind of my fault that you were so overwhelmed helping our friends out, as well as Izzy's, but I still want to understand why you ran away, Mist" he pointed out with concern.

"... W-Why would you want to check on me, though?" Misty asked with a frown, although she was tearing up again.

"What kind of question is that?" Tails asked with a confused frown, before softening his look and sit at her side. "Misty, you are my friend! You should worry the day I don't want to check how you doing" he pointed out with a warm smile.

"But why are you so... So nice to me?!" Misty snapped, although Tails didn't flinched. "I worked with Opaline and Eggman ever since I met you! Y-You spent months protecting me from Zipp's suspicions, but she was right in the end!" she pointed out with anger, although it was hate for herself. "I-I shouldn't have ever come with you, guys! I don't fit in here!" she cried out loudly.

"Misty..." Tails muttered with concern.

"It doesn't matter how many times ponies say they forgive me... I haven't forgive myself!" Misty shouted, while tears rolled down her cheeks. "And how could I? I hurt you, I hurt our friends, Sparky almost died because of me! I don't even understand why Sonic was so mad with the other ponies when they were absolutely right to be mad with me! He should've been on their side, b-but he still protected me... And I don't deserve it..." she said, but now her voice was lowering to a whisper. "Y-You should all had leave me with Opaline... I wouldn't be happy, but at least I wouldn't be bothering anypony here in Maretime Bay..." she finished.

After saying all of this, Misty was expecting Tails to speak and say either that she was wrong or right, but instead, Tails wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a tight, but really warm hug.

Her eyes widened again, and her face blushed a bit as well. She couldn't understand why she always felt like this with Tails of everypony, but she never disliked the feeling either. However, she was also confused on why Tails was still here with her, nor why he hasn't snapped at her the way Knuckles did when she confessed to be a traitor.

Soon enough, Omega managed to kneel down and somehow wrap both Misty and Tails in a hug as well. He was a robot, and he had little knowledge on how feelings work, but he knew that in times of sorrow, the best way to comfort someone was with a hug, and since Tails was doing that to Misty, he wanted to join in as well.

Misty was startled by this, but her tears and the mixed feelings of sadness and anger didn't allowed her to think straight, so she buried her face on Tails' chest and cried, while also wrapping her hooves around him, letting the fox and robot comfort her.

They stood in that position for a long while. Around 10 minutes, to be exactly. With the hug over, Misty sobbed some more before she finally wiped some last tears, and then, she looked over at Tails with a smile.

"... Thanks, Tails..." Misty said happily, then she lean to him and kissed tenderly his cheek, although Tails didn't seemed to mind, and he even chuckled a bit. Then, Misty looked up at Omega and smiled at him too. "And thanks to you too, Omega!" she said happily again, also managing to kiss the robot's face.

Omega just blinked confused and tilted his head at that gesture, but he still considered this a win since Misty wasn't crying anymore, which made him believe that the hug worked, so he felt victorious already.

"Misty... Let me tell you something..." Tails called out, and Misty turned to him. "When you first told us about you being a traitor, I... I did felt bad... Seriously, you have no idea. Many things ran through my mind, and I felt like a complete idiot for all those times I treated Zipp so badly to protect you..." he confessed, looking at the ground with a frown for a moment, before looking back at Misty with another smile. "But when you told us that you got your Cutie Mark after freeing our friends... Part of my anger towards you left" he explained.

"Part of it?" Misty asked with a raised eyebrow.

"While it's true that you betrayed Opaline and Eggman, I was still mad with you..." Tails confessed again. "I mean, I found a pony in this world who I can relate a lot with because I went through similar things, but then she turned out to be working with our nemesis... How did you expected me to react or feel?" he questioned.

"Oh, trust me... Even if you didn't said anything, Knuckles was clear with his words..." Misty said, looking down in sadness. "Also, your face told me you were not happy with the news" she pointed out.

"Well, I wasn't..." Tails rolled his eyes. "But... I don't feel like that anymore, Mist. I know that you're one of us now, that you have abandoned Opaline and Eggman for good. And I meant it! you have proved yourself to have genuinely turned your life around!" he pointed out with a smile.

Misty felt her face turning red again, and again, there were butterflies on her stomach.

"In my eyes, you have redeemed entirely, Misty. And you do belong here" Tails kept talking. "However... I'm still concerned about you not forgiving yourself..." he confessed with worry.

"Well, how could I?" Misty said with disappointment, looking away from Tails. "I lived with Opaline for so long, and Eggman always acted like a father with me... Even though he probably hates me as much as he hates you all, I still can't forget what I did to all of you..." she pointed out with concern.

Tails looked at her with worry, but then, Omega slowly and carefully placed a hand over her head, calling the unicorn mare's attention.

"... I was created by Dr. Eggman, long time ago" Omega spoke. "I'm the best of his E-100 series of robots... A walking weapon that hates his creator for sealing him away with Shadow... If you stop to consider it, I'm a badnik that redeemed himself" he explained.

"Well, yeah. I mean, his robots usually want to destroy it all..." Misty pointed out with a giggle.

"I can relate to your feeling of not belonging here" Omega confessed. "For the longest time, I also felt out of place, considering I'm one of the few badniks that went against their creator, yet a Badnik at the end of the day... But I found my place in Team Dark" he pointed out.

"Really?" Misty asked curiously.

"Even if I don't consider Shadow and Rouge my friends... I know for a fact that I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for them" Omega confessed. "They showed me that my past, that what I am, do not define who I am. After all, Shadow also went through something similar after loosing his memories..." he pointed out.

"And I once felt out of place too..." Tails reminded, as Misty turned to see him again. "When I moved to live with Sonic, I felt so clumsy and out of place on his house..." he confessed. "I remember that everytime I tried to follow the long list of chores Longclaw and him knew from memory, I either messed up or made disasters that went beyond repair at first sight. I considered to give up so many times..." he explained, while looking up the sky as he remembered all he just told.

"And what did you did?" Misty asked.

"I talked my worries out with them" Tails replied with a smile, before looking back at Misty. "They listened to my concerns and assured me that there was no problem with me adapting to their schedule, that I just needed time" he explained. "And after living with them for months, I finally got the hang of their routine!" he finished cheerfully.

"I suggest you try it out, little unicorn" Omega said, as he raised his thumbs up.

Misty looked at Omega, then at Tails, who nodded in agreement with Omega's words, and so, Misty let out a sigh.

"... Sometimes I feel like I just don't belong here..." Misty admitted, looking sad to the floor. "I know for a fact that not having forgive myself for being working with Opaline and Eggman has a big meaning behind, but... Sometimes I feel like you guys don't want me around... Even though I know it isn't true..." she explained with concern.

"... You know..." Tails called out. "When magic first returned and Sunny became the Alicorn, she felt a little lost as well. And because she was the only Alicorn, she thought nopony would understand her..." he explained.

"That sounds really hard..." Misty said with concern, not noticing that she started to glow. "She must've felt so alone..." she added, while her glow became brighter.

"Well, she did for sure at first..." Tails said with concern, before smiling. "Then she realized that she was alone only if she kept her worries to herself. But, if she shared her worries with ponies who cared, then she'll never be alone! And that's exactly what I just told you, about me moving with Sonic and Longclaw. I felt alone until I shared my worries with them!" he pointed out with a huge smile.

"Kind of like all you guys were there for me today?" Misty asked, remembering all the things she did today to try and make her Cutie Mark sparkle. "Everypony tried so hard to get my cutie mark to sparkle!" she said with a smile and sparkling eyes, standing up and glowing brighter.

"Exactly! Because that's what friends do!" Tails said, as he stood up, while the white fur of his tails started to release some electrical sparkles. "And you know what? Even if you never got a Cutie Mark when you helped our friends to escape from Opaline's bubble, knowing that you betrayed them would've been enough for me to still call you my friend. And I know for a fact that everyone else would agreed! Because you belong with us, Misty" he declared with a smile, also nuzzling his cheek with hers.

Misty felt her heart melting, and the butterflies she felt in her stomach seemed to fly even crazier than before, but she still smiled warmly at Tails' words and chuckled.

"Aww... You mean that?" Misty asked him, as she started to tear up again, but out of happiness this time. "Hoof to heart?" she added, placing a hoof on her chest.

Tails smiled and placed his forehead in front of hers with chuckle. "Hoof to heart" he assured her.

Misty blushed for what felt like the millionth time that day, but she still smiled back at Tails, and they both closed their eyes, while Omega kneeled and wrapped his arms around the two of them, and they didn't seemed to mind.

Just then, Misty's Cutie Mark started to glow so brightly, that it ended up bringing a magical image of itself, something that Tails didn't lasted so much to notice.

"Mist... Look!" Tails called out with a smile, pointing at her Cutie Mark.

Misty turned to see it, noticing that it was sparkling and created a magical image of a butterfly. The image flew up above the trio, and Tails' powers reacted even more, as some sparks came out of his tails and re-created the box of tools with yellow lightning Cutie Mark he obtained when he turned into a pony for the Manesquerade Ball that one time.

The box of tools flee in the air, alongside Misty's Cutie Mark, as it circled around the butterfly, which gave off magical sparkles. Tails and Misty watched with amazed looks and sparkling eyes, while Omega's eyes shone brightly at the sight, probably the way his eyes sparkle when he finds himself amazed.

Soon, the two images shone brightly one last time, before Misty's Cutie Mark returned to Misty, while the box of tools with yellow lightning dissipated in electricity after it made contact with Tails' tails.

"Well, I didn't knew my powers could do that, but see?!" Tails told Misty happily, now side hugging her, while Misty giggled happily. "I knew your Cutie Mark would shine like that!" he stated.

Soon, the rest of the Mane 6 and Team Sonic joined in the cheers, while Shadow and Rouge came by to see what Omega was doing here, although they couldn't help but smile slightly at Misty's accomplishment, since they knew she's been working hard on making her Cutie Mark glow.

"Wow!" Zipp said amazed, as she walked up to Misty. "How'd you do it? It was the parkour, wasn't it?" she asked with a smirk.

"Well…" Misty said with a sheepish smile, placing a hoof on her chin.

However, before she could explain herself, Izzy placed a pink glitter graduation hat on Misty's head, with the unicorn mare looking at Izzy surprised.

"Izzy! What's all this for?" Misty asked with a smile, despite still being confused.

"It's your sparkle school graduation celebration, silly!" Izzy explained cheerfully, as she twirled around and lightened up her horn. "Pew-pew!" she cheered, and then, fireworks were made from her magic as they exploded in the sky.

Soon, she got between Sunny and Misty, as they and the rest of them smiled at each other, with Izzy and Misty even hoof-bumping each other.

However, as the firework show continued, Tails heard a beep sound coming from his Miles Electric, which was hidden on his Tails. So, he quickly glanced at the rest and made sure they were busy, before sneaking away behind some bushes.

Once he made sure to be completely alone, he took out his Miles Electric and checked out what was going on.

He sent out a drone months ago to track down the Chaos Emeralds after they spread once Super Sonic restored everything the Death Egg Titan destroyed, and apparently, said drone finally got the signal of three Emeralds... But something was off with the three signs.

Usually, the Chaos Emeralds spread far away from each other... But the three signs all came from the exact same place, something that never happened before.

"Three Emeralds are reuniting in the same place?" Tails questioned. "That's very odd..." he pointed out.

Then, he zoomed out the whole map, noticing that the drone tracked down the three Chaos Emeralds towards a set of five islands, located far away from Equestria.

"Five Islands, and the Emeralds are getting dragged there..." Tails muttered. "Could these be... The Starfall Islands Longclaw was talking about?!" he questioned in surprise, before he quickly flew off towards the Crystal Brighthouse, because he needed to investigate this further.
