5. Roadtrip and Fun Time at the Bar
Pipp had lots of questions right now.
After 2 hours of driving, Sonic told the two sisters his story: He's a blue hedgehog from a world called Mobius that has thousands of habitants that are also colored anthropomorphic animals. He constantly fights a guy who's actual name it's also Robotnik, but he calls him Eggman. And he was currently living in an alternate universe of talking colorful ponies that was a parallel world to hers.
It was a lot to take in, to tell the truth. She could just say he was crazy, but his mere existence was already crazy enough, so she could tell he wasn't lying. Sonic skipped two important details, though: First, he didn't talked about his relationship with the pegasus Pipp; and second, he didn't mentioned the evil Alicorn Opaline, mainly because if she existed in that world too, he didn't wanted to foreshadow anything.
But as if that wasn't enough, Pipp was totally worried about the concert, her mom, her friends! Yeah, Zipp punched Robotnik, but Pipp helped her to take Sonic away from him, so she would be as wanted as her sister, and not in the way she usually is. The government was totally going to track them down, and her reputation and carrier would get compromised because of that. She wanted to quit, yes, but she never though it would be this way.
Up until now, the craziest thing that ever happened to her was the glowing emerald, or as Sonic call it, the Chaos Emerald, that she found in school. Now, she met a giant blue hedgehog alien from another universe and discovered that she was a pegasus princess in a parallel world. A lot of things were happening on her mind right now, and she couldn't even use her phone, because Zipp threw it for the window 30 minutes ago, arguing that it was to prevent being tracked.
"Alright, there's gonna be rules on this trip," Zipp stated to Sonic.
"At least in that aspect, you're the same with the other Zipp," Sonic said in a playful tone, while Zipp just rolled her eyes and Pipp giggled again.
"Okay. So, number 1: Do exactly as we say, all the time. Got it?" Zipp instructed to him.
"As you wish, Zephyrina!" Sonic said, again, on a mocking tone.
"Ugh! Don't call me like that!" Zipp warned. "Just Zipp it's fine."
"That reminds me: You haven't told us your name, you know?" Pipp pointed out to him.
"I haven't?!" Sonic asked in shock. "For Chaos sake! Where are my manners? Sorry, ladies, name's Sonic! Sonic the Hedgehog!"
And by hearing that name, Pipp felt her entire world stopping. This was the first time in years that she heard that name, and why? She knew a kid named Sonic years ago, way before she got interested on the singing stuff. However, she doesn't remembers a lot of that kid, just that she used to like him a lot back then, and one day they simply stopped talking.
"Sonic... Sonic!" Zipp repeated to herself so she could remember it, snapping Pipp out of her thoughts without knowing it. "Huh, it sounds familiar for some reason... Anyways, you say you're 'the Blue Blur'? The thief that's been helping homeless people by stealing food this last week?"
"Well, if I was going to take the Emeralds back home so your world could be out of trouble, the least I could was also help out people in need!" Sonic said with a proud smile. "Helping's kind of my thing!"
"I can't believe Sunny's dad theories about a parallel world were true this whole time!" Zipp confessed with disbelief.
"I mean, before he arrived, we always though they were both a bit... uh..." Pipp tried to find the right words. "Off track? Like, even if they were just theories, they sounded so fake, but we never said a thing for respect."
"Well, you two own her an apology, I guess," Sonic said with a little smile.
He then opened his backpack, that he was still carrying around, and took our one of the Chilidogs he had wrapped. It was still hot and not wet, despite it falling in the ocean before when Sonic ran off. He took a bite on the food, and then enjoyed it so much since he loved Chilidogs.
"Oh Chaos, I love these things so much!" Sonic said with a smile, then looked at the confused look of Pipp, since Zipp didn't seemed to care at all. "I have an alarming obsession with Chilidogs, okey? Don't think about it that much. Anyways, when are we gonna get there, exactly?"
"We'll get there when we get there!" Zipp said sternly.
"Love the logic," Sonic said sarcastically. "Man, I don't remember you being this rude."
"Can you blame me?! The government wants to dissect you! And arrest us! This is a serious situation, man," Zipp pointed out.
"Hey Zipp~" Pipp sang out suddenly with a smile.
"...No," Zipp said coldly.
"Aw, come on! You haven't even heard what I want to say!" Pipp begged.
"Knowing you, it's probably related to sing a song, so my answer is no," Zipp stated. "That would only stress me more."
While Pipp huffed frustrated and lay on her sit, Sonic stared at Zipp with a bored expression. "Wow, you truly are a killjoy, Zipp. I'm guessing this is going to be a loooong trip..." He stated, as he looked out of the window with boredom.
"At least on that we can agree, little guy," Pipp said with boredom as well.
As the day turned into night, they decided to make a stop at a gas station. Once Zipp parked the truck in front of the market, she got out of it, but not before walking over to the open car window.
"Alright, I'm going to call Windy, whose turn at the police station should be up right now, and see if she knows what's going on," Zipp said as she putted on her cap to hide her identity.
"So you're going to talk with Windy through a payphone..." Sonic said blankly.
"Seriously? Those things are still around?" Pipp asked with a snort.
"Aren't payphones usually used by shady dealers and fugitives from the law?" Sonic asked with a teasing smirk.
"Yeah, and right now, that would totally be us, pal," Zipp said, smirking back at Sonic. "Now stay on the car, I don't want anyone to see you and freak out you know."
"...Okay, I know you're right, but, like, I still felt offended for some reason..." Sonic said with a confused look.
"And Pipp..." Zipp called out to her sister, completely ignoring Sonic's comment. "You stay too. The last thing I need is for you to look at any kind of news report or something and feel depressed, okay?"
Pipp huffed as she blew her hair aside. "...Fine..."
And as Zipp walks away, Pipp decided to lay on the passengers seat again, while Sonic started to hum to himself.
"Someday, one day, we'll say live life, I know. Hold on, hold tight. Don't let go, don't lose sight." Sonic sang softly and quietly, although Pipp did managed to hear him.
"You sing nice," Pipp said with honesty.
"Hmm? Oh, well, thanks," Sonic said, although he felt very uncomfortable.
Even if he was just talking with Pipp, it wasn't his Pipp, not the one he fell in love with, so he felt very uncomfortable around her right now. Still, he tried to keep up a small conversation with her, just to kill some time.
"So... you're also a pop star in this world, right?" Sonic asked, trying to start a conversation.
Pipp was taken a bit aback, but she still decided to reply. "Y-Yeah... though it keeps me very busy sometimes..."
"Well, at least you got your friends there, right?" Sonic asked with a smirk. However, silence was all the response he could get. "Uh, Pipp?" He called out confused. He decided to turn around and face her, just to find her trying to wipe out her tears, which made Sonic panic immediately. "H-Hey! I-I'm sorry! I-I shouldn't have––"
"D-Don't worry..." Pipp said, while Sonic stared at her still worried. "I-It's just... I do have them, but not as often as I wished... This whole 'pop star' life has me so busy that... I can barely spent time with them..." She explained. "The concert was my chance to be with them, hang out, have fun, chill, call it like you want, I just want to that as often as any friend... but I can't..."
Now Sonic felt really bad for her, and once again realized that she wasn't like the Pipp he knew. The pegasus Pipp could literally do whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted, and no one could tell her no, not even her own mother. This Pipp, however, didn't had the same luck, and didn't seemed to enjoy her life that much.
"B-But I cannot give up to all of this either... I'm scared they won't let me..." Pipp added suddenly.
"You mean your fans?" Sonic asked curiously, while Pipp just nodded in response. "Well, I think they'll understand if they really love and respect you!"
"But what if they don't?" Pipp asked to him, now looking with a sad expression at the blue hedgehog.
Sonic tried to say something as he opened his mouth, but nothing came out of it, so he closed it again and turned back to face the window. However, what he saw at the other side made him gasp and smile: A bar called the Piston Pit, with Motorcycles firing up their engines, Bikers greeting each other by headbutting, and bikers having an arm-wrestling match. Heck, even a Monster Truck showed up suddenly.
And just like that, he grinned with an idea popping on his mind. He saw black sunglasses, a red plaid shirt and a cowboy hat, then took all of them and looked back at Pipp, who finally seemed to calm down as she just looked at the floor.
"Hey Pipp," Sonic called out with a smirk, while Pipp decided to look back at him. "I think I know how to cheer you up!"
As Zipp headed towards the payphone booth, she opened the door and closed it behind her. She inserted a quarter and dialed Windy's number. After she got that settled, she waited for Windy to pick up.
"Hello? Canterlot City's Police Department?" Said Windy on the other line.
"Windy, it's me!" Zipp replied with a worried tone.
"Hi, I'm so glad that you called. Uh... H-How's it going...?" Windy said nervously.
"Hey girl, are you alright? You sound kind of nervous there, what happened?" Zipp asked concerned.
"Uh, some–– some guys came in, asking me some questions. Uh... it was a little creepy," Windy hesitantly said before chuckling nervously. "It kind of reminded me of, uh, the guys from Men in Black, but not as, um, likable or, uh, charming as Will Smith."
Now that's when Zipp's concern grew. "Wait, what kind of questions?"
"About... terrorism," Windy replied as she laughed nervously. "I told them that I've gone ice fishing with Zipp that one time. S-She doesn't know how to make a bomb. She can't even make bait in the cold!"
"Uh-oh... this is bad," Zipp said worryingly, knowing that Robotnik's onto her and her sister. "Alright, Windy, listen to me. This is really important: Don't tell them that we talked, okay?"
Windy didn't replied right away, which got Zipp paranoid that something might have happened. After a few seconds went by, she responded. "I-I think they already k-know..." Windy stuttered.
"Ms. Storm?" Robotnik's voice came out from the phone.
Zipp groaned in annoyance at the sound of the mad doctor's voice. "Just Zipp..."
"I want you to know that the only person who would ever punch me in the face was the school bully," Robotnik stated with anger. "He hit me in the cafeteria, causing a blunt force contusion to the soft tissue surrounding my orbital bone, humiliated me in front of the entire school, and you know what I did in response?"
"Uh, I'm assuming you reported him to the principal's office? 'Cause, ya know, that kind of behavior is completely unacceptable," Zipp guessed.
"No. I examined the inefficiency of a world where brawn trumped brain, and I used technology to resolve that inefficiency," Robotnik replied with pride. "The boy ate his meals through a straw for a year, and I have never lost a fight again... until today."
Zipp nervously smiled. "Hey, hooray for me then, huh?"
"No, because you're about to become the bully! With the straw!" Robotnik stated "I'm coming for you, Ms. Storm, as well as your little sister. And when I catch you, I'll––" He tried to warn, but then Zipp ended the call immediately.
"Hello? Hello? Hello, hello, hello?" Robotnik called out.
"I think she actually, um, hung up, because I noticed that the light isn't on," Windy hesitantly pointed out.
"Thank you, Officer Brainfart," Robotnik said as he glared at her.
"If you could give me a second, I can get an outside line," Windy offered.
"No," Robotnik putted the phone back. "Don't be bothered. You just sit there and be you... useless," He added with a forced smile.
And with that, Robotnik stormed out of the room with his workers following him.
"No one's gonna erase my memory here? I will tell people about this!" Windy exclaimed until she's left alone in the room.
Zipp decided to buy some snacks for her, Pipp and Sonic until they could find a place to stay in for the night. Stepping out of a shop with several snacks in her hands, she approached her car and to the opened window where she expected Sonic and her sister should be waiting.
Or so she thought.
"Okay, it's not exactly the healthiest meal, but––" Zipp cut herself off after she saw that the car is empty; no sign of Sonic nor Pipp anywhere in sight. "Sonic? Pipp?!" She called out, but didn't got a response. She looked around for any sign of the blue hedgehog and her sister anywhere, until she looked at the Piston Pit before immediately gets the realization.
Those two went inside the bar!
"No, no, no, no, no, no!" Zipp repeatedly yelled as she putted her groceries on the front of the car and sprinted over towards the bar.
She entered the place and started to look around, searching for Sonic and Pipp, until she saw those familiar blue quills wearing a cowboy hat, and a western outfit he got from her clothes on the Truck. Pipp, on the other hand, sat near a chair next to him, wearing her hair on a ponytail and without her diadem, probably to not be recognized as a pop star. And she was laughing as she talked with Sonic, which would make Zipp happy if it wasn't because of the current situation they were into.
She angrily walked over there and kicked the chair while clearing her throat, getting Sonic's and Pipp's attention. Sonic whirled his chair around and sees Zipp glaring at him.
"Howdy, partner!" Sonic greeted Zipp in a cowboy accent, tipping his hat.
"I'm not your partner, come on! We're leaving!" Zipp said sternly.
"But there's a ZZ top cover band! You gotta see those beards! They're so weird!" Sonic said happily.
"Weird enough to catch them some other time. Let's go, get up!" Zipp stated, and then looked at Pipp. "And you too, young lady!"
"Aww, come on, sis!" Pipp told her with a smile. "Try to chill a little bit! We're not harming anyone!"
"Besides, what could be a better hideout for 'criminals' like us than a bar?" Sonic pointed out with a whisper at Zipp. Then he added something quick, now that Pipp wasn't looking. "Listen, Pipp was feeling down, and I wanted to help and cheer her up. As I say, helping is my thing, so I brought her here to distract her for a while, from all this situation, okay?"
Zipp's frown disappeared, now that she understood the situation better. "I see..."
"Look, let's just stay here for a while, and then we leave once she feels tired of the place, okay?" Sonic suggested with a smirk. "And I'm saying it for your own good, Zipp. You also need to chill a little bit. Do it for you, and do it for her."
Zipp thought on his words for a moment. On one hand, they were now wanted criminals for sure, so they were still in danger. On the other hand, however, Sonic was right on both things: The bar was a perfect hideout for the moment, and Pipp did seemed on a better mood ever since she entered the bar to look for her.
"Well..." Zipp spoke, loud enough for even Pipp to hear. "I think we need to chill a bit after all, so... Maybe we could spare an hour."
"Really?!" Pipp squealed, side hugging her sister. "We can stay?!"
Zipp looked at Sonic, who winked at her as an encouragement move. "Sure, why not?"
"I'm telling you: You won't regret this, gal!" Sonic said excitedly.
"Oh, I'm pretty sure I will," Zipp murmured to herself.
And so, the trio spent the next hour having fun at the Piston Pit.
First, Zipp and Sonic challenged each other to a game of darts. Zipp took a dart from the cup before focusing on her aim. She threw the dart, and immediately landed on the target. She looked back at Sonic with a smug grin, while Sonic just rolled his eyes and grabbed the whole cup, then began to shoot out multiple darts at a quick pace. However, none of the darts hit on the board. Instead, the darts landed around the board and some of the drinks a waitress was holding on a plate as she looked shocked.
Next, Pipp played a hoop shot game, surprising Zipp since she seemed to be very good at it, shooting a couple of basketballs and getting perfect scores. She shoot another 'ball', but then the sisters gasped when they saw Sonic, who uncurled from his ball form and sat on the ring, then used his feet through the hoop at high speed, racking up the points.
"Haha! New high score!" Sonic said teasingly.
Then, the trio went to the electric bull and Sonic decided to be the first one to go. Pipp inserted a quarter inside the machine, and the Bull began to move, forcing Sonic to hold on.
"Uh, I still don't get it... Is this bull missing a head, or does it have two butts?" Sonic blurted out, getting a giggle from Pipp while Zipp yawned in boredom. "Oh-ho! This is easy!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Okay!" Zipp said, as she inserted another quarter in the machine and changed the speed from 'Shaken Not Steered' to 'Deadly Desperado.'
Sonic panicked as he held onto the bull tighter while it went faster. "YEE-HAW! OH-HO-HO! I'M A COWBOY, BABY!" He shouted excited, while Zipp bursted in laughter at how ridiculous Sonic looked, while Pipp watched on with a smile.
However, Sonic couldn't hold on anymore as he flew out of the bull, making the sisters look at where he crashed, but then Sonic quickly ran back on the ride holding a thumbs up them.
"I'M OKAY!" Sonic yelled in assurance.
Then, they went to the dancing floor following everyone else's dancing moves. At one point, Sonic took off his hat, dancing like a cowboy, but accidentally bumped into someone’s behind. Shocked from the touch, the teen girl turned around, and instead of seeing the blue hedgehog beneath her, her sight was on Zipp, who just cheered at the dance, which caused the teen girl to threw a drink at her face.
Sonic and Pipp laughed at Zipp back at the table, who was drying her soaked face with a cloth.
"Yeah, yeah, laugh it up," Zipp sassed.
"Nice work, Romeo!" Sonic said in a mocking tone.
"Way to go, sis!" Pipp said, wiping out a tear because of the laugh.
Zipp chuckled in sarcasm. "Glad you two are having a good time," She said with a bored expression.
"Oh, definitely!" Pipp assured with a bright smile that Zipp hasn't seen in a while, which made her smile joyfully.
"Yeah, I haven't had this fun in a while!" Sonic added.
But after he said that, three burly men marched over to the table with very angered expressions, and the sisters looked at the men with widened eyes. Sonic, on the other hand, looked at them with a glare.
"Uh... Can we help you?" Zipp questioned.
"We don't like your kind around here," A white man with a bald head growled in a deep voice.
Sonic glared daggers at him. "Our kind, huh? And what kind is that supposed to be?"
The thug leaned forward, giving Sonic a nasty cold glare. "Hipsters," He whispered to him.
"Oh, now you've done it," Sonic stated with anger, while his eyes turned blue for a second.
"Oh, hey, y-you know what? We were just leaving anyway, w-weren't we? There's n-not a problem," Pipp said as she nervously smiled at the man.
"No, no, no. It's okay," Sonic said, moving his index finger .
"No, no, no, we are leaving!" Zipp hissed at Sonic.
"I know exactly how to handle this situation," Sonic assured them, as he grabbed a beer bottle nearby and stood on top of his chair. Clearing his throat, Sonic glared at the older man. "Pop quiz, hotshot. You just picked a fight with a poorly disguised blue hedgehog from another dimension, who was chilling out with two ladies without bothering anyone, except and old fat man with a bear like you who seems too focused on what anyone else is doing instead of mind his own business!" he yelled with anger.
Then, he jumped up and hits the thug with the bottle. But for some weird reason, it didn't break.
"Huh, am I crazy? Or this thing's supposed to broke already?" Sonic said as he looked at the bottle in his hand. Sonic tried again, but the bottle wouldn't brake, and it's making the guy growl in rage, so Sonic began hitting faster. "Break, please. Break, please. Break this bottle, please. Please, please, please, please, please––"
"Uh, Sonic?!" Pipp panicked.
The man pulled his arm back, getting ready to punch Sonic in the face.
"Uh-oh!" Sonic quickly ducked and moved Pipp's chair with her on it, while the fist aimed at Zipp instead.
Zipp bumped into some other patrons before they all started to go crazy and started to fight. Meanwhile, Sonic managed to move Pipp away from the fight.
"Hide behind the drinks bar, I'll go get Zipp!" Sonic instructed her.
Without hesitation, Pipp did that exactly and hid behind the bar, while Sonic joined in with Zipp, back to back, as they formed into fighting positions.
"Nice going!" Zipp exclaimed to Sonic in sarcasm.
"I'm not proud if this either, okay?!" Sonic stated at her, as he dodged someone's punch and kicked them. "This is completely out of what I was planning!"
However, Zipp was suddenly dragged away from Sonic and two guys grabbed her, just to start and punch her strongly. She tried to get away by kicking the other two, but it was useless. However, she blinked for a moment, and the next thing she knew, she was near the drinks bar, with a bottle on her left hand.
She then turned around to find everyone else on the ground, with a guy wrapped in toilet paper who ended up falling to the ground. Also, the same man who punched her first had a bear head on his head and launched himself through the window, falling unconscious on the other side.
Pipp slowly came out from behind the bar and stared with widened eyes at her surroundings. "W-What just happened?"
"I-I don't know..." Zipp said, just as confused as her sister, and then she looked at her with worry. "A-Are you okay?! Did those guys harmed you or something?!"
"N-No... I hid here when all of this started," Pipp said a little ashamed, and then she saw that Zipp had a black eye. "Oh my God! Zipp, your eye!"
"I-I'm fine, don't worry," Zipp assured with a little smile. "I've been in worst situations."
And then, Sonic arrived with them, standing in the bar with a smile. "So, should we get out of here?"
"Oh, please let's!" Pipp begged.
"Yeah, time to go," Zipp agreed before running out of the bar with her sister and Sonic.
They ran out of the Piston Pit, with the customers chasing them, as Zipp hopped over the thug on the ground.
"Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho! That was amazing!" Sonic gushed in excitement, as he threw his disguise away. "Oh wait a second, did we pay our tab? It doesn't matter!" He yelled out happily. "Oh, heck yeah! I always wanna do this!" He added, sliding over the hood before throwing himself over the passenger seat.
"Get 'em!" A man yelled in the distance.
"See ya, suckers!" Sonic shouted at them, while Zipp turned on the truck and quickly got all of them out of there. "Call me crazy, but I think they liked me!"
As the truck drove away, the snacks Zipp placed before in the front part of the vehicle fell, while the trio started to laugh and cheer at their outcome.
"Yes!" Sonic cheered.
"Yeah!" Zipp yelled.
"Woo!" Pipp cheered as well.
"Ouch..." Zipp hissed in pain, while placing a hand on her cheek.
"They got you pretty good, huh?" Sonic said on a mocking tone.
"It's alright, I've been hit harder," Zipp shrugged.
"Sonic, I have no idea what you did back there, but it was amazing!" Pipp cheered excited.
"Hey, I put us in that situation, the least I could do was saving our butts!" Sonic said with a smirk.
"I do admit, it was very fun," Zipp confessed. "Let's just not do that again. Ever."
"Agreed," Both Sonic and Pipp said in unison.

Kinda weird he knows he has a sick obsession, yet refuses to work on it... Guess he really loves those Chilidogs, huh?
I mean, the idea of a human Sonic existing in this universe is already outstanding. However, I gotta admit... As much as I love that scene, I'm glad I don't have to read it for the hundred time.
Great chapter and wow, Sonic sure knows how to cheer any Pipp in the multiverse up, and her and Zipp sure have time in the bar, which is by the way, very cool, and then the fighting happens and looks like Sonic went up with his speed and stopped the fighting in one go, heheh, Sonic still got it and the three escape, but looks like Robotnik is on their trail, and Windy, as a police officer, heheh, didn't know she would be one, but wow, that is amazing, awesome job, keep up the great work.
So there’s the possibility of a Sonic in this world too?
If there’s a Robotnik, then why not? Equestria and Mobius are linked after all
Seems the human world pipp still likes her Sonic that she knew she should find him and get together again with there friends reunite after sooo long if that’s what pipp is feeling

I guess it's better that he knows it? 🤷
