Sonic's Equestria Girls

With the Rest of the Main Seven

Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Applejack were all lounging about in the Apple Family's living room. They were all smiling, laughing, and chatting about random things that peaked their interests.

Fluttershy gathered all her growing confidence and spoke in the highest volume she could muster.

"Everyone, you'll all be excited to know that we have received both a mating pair of African pygmy hedgehogs as well as two echidnas at the animal shelter", Fluttershy exclaimed in her usual quiet voice.

Everyone was excited to hear such good news for Fluttershy's animal shelter. Pinkie looked a bit confused.

"What's an 'eh-kid-nah'?" Pinkie asked.

As soon as she asked that, Twilight's eyes automatically lit up. "Well, echidnas are monotremes. Monotremes are egg-laying mammals. Echidnas are really fascinating animals. They have a snout like an anteater, digging claws like a mole, and a back full of quills like a hedgehog".

Applejack whistled. "That sounds like one strange critter, if you ask me".

"Egg-laying mammals are certainly a thing to imagine, darling", Rarity commented.

"Trust me, there are even weirder creatures living in Equestria. There are wolves there that are literally made of wood!" Sunset said.

"I wonder if we'll ever see any weird creatures in this world?" Pinkie wondered aloud.

As if on cue, their speed-demon friend Rainbow Dash threw open the door in excitement. She strolled in with that characteristic swagger she possessed. But she seemed even more excited about something.

"Hey girls! I just got back from patrol and I just made a new friend I'd like to introduce you to!" she exclaimed.

"'A new friend'?! That sounds amazing! Where is this new friend?!" Pinkie asked.

Rainbow Dash didn't reply with words. Instead, she simply walked out of the way of the doorframe. Out of the darkness of the hallway, Rainbow's "new friend" walked in.

The other girls were shocked to say the very least. Her new friend wasn't human at all. They didn't know what manner of creature this was. It was apparently male, with blue fur and quills on the back of his head. His eyes were bright green and he wore white gloves. The creature wore white and red running shoes. Rainbow started laughing hysterically.

"You should see the looks on all of your faces!" Rainbow exclaimed.

The strange creature gave a small wave. "Hey, there! Nice to meet Rainbow's friends. You can call me Sonic the Hedgehog".

At Vinyl and Octavia's Apartment

Octavia was sitting at the dining room table eating her dinner of sushi while her roommate Vinyl Scratch was sitting on the other side and scribbling on her musical notebook.

Octavia looked at her roommate in curiosity. "Are you working on another one of your compositions?"

Vinyl simply nodded in response. Octavia smiled at that simple response from her best friend. Her DJ roommate was the quiet type, but her music spoke of the free spirit she was. Octavia, despite being different from Vinyl in terms of their taste for music, genuinely enjoyed Vinyl's company. Octavia made enough money from her genius orchestra compositions that she could afford a whole condo. Vinyl made enough money to afford her own apartment, too. It was a mutual decision to rent their own place.

Suddenly, there was a loud sound coming from the roof of the apartment building. It sounded like something hit the roof with tremendous force judging from the web of cracks that formed on the ceiling. Both girls were rightfully startled by this occurrence.

"What was that?!" Octavia asked in fear. All Vinyl did was shrug.

"Let's go see what that was, then!"

In a flash of movement, both musicians ran out of their apartment and ran up the set of stairs that led to the roof. Vinyl opened the door and both girls looked around the roof.

Eventually, their eyes landed on something they did not expect to see.

Lying unconscious on the ground was some bizarre... creature they have never seen before. This creature was bright red in coloration, had what appeared to be dreadlocks on his head, a white slash marking on his chest, red and yellow shoes, and boxing gloves with spikes on each.

Octavia looked at Vinyl in confusion. "Are you as confused as I am?" she asked.

Vinyl just looked at Octavia and nodded her head in response.

This was certainly an interesting night for the both of them.

At Rarity's House

Sweetie Belle was laying in her bed reading a good book. It was "Way of Kings" by Brandon Sanderson. Sweetie Belle was heavily invested in this book. But she was not invested enough to not hear the crashing sound coming from outside her bedroom window.

"What was that?!" she exclaimed in alarm.

She opened her bedroom window to see a smoke pillar rising from the woods behind her backyard's fence. Curiosity overwhelming her fear, she ran down the stairs and right out the door.

After jumping the fence, Sweetie ran through the woods to the sight of the pillar of smoke. She wondered what it could be.

Upon arriving at the sight of the crash, Sweetie Belle got her answer. Lying there in the center of a small crater was what appeared to be a small anthropomorphic orange fox with two tails. He wore gloves and shoes but no other forms of clothing.

Sweetie Belle couldn't take her eyes off of this creature. Not just because it was a potential alien lifeform, but because it was so... adorable! This fox was so cute! And its tails were so luminous and fluffy.

The preteen girl stared at the fox's two fluffy tails and decided to risk doing what she wanted to do. Sweetie Belle tentatively reached out with both of her hands and started gently stroking the fox's tails.

Sweetie's eyes widened at the feeling of the fox's fur in her hands. It was the most amazing sensation that ever touched her skin. It was like if an angel's hug materialized in the form of a fox's fur.

"This is amazing! I could do this forever!" Sweetie thought to herself.

She was so enamored with the fox's tails that she didn't notice the fox was now looking at her. Blood and heat rushed to Sweetie Belle's cheeks from embarrassment. If someone could die from embarrassment, Sweetie would be nothing but bones at this point.

The two-tailed fox looked at Sweetie Belle with unsure eyes.

"Uh... hi. Can I... help you?" the fox asked.

Sweet Apple Acres - Nighttime

Apple Bloom was walking a barrel full of apples to the barn. It had been a long and exhausting harvest this season. The trees had produced quite a lot of healthy apples, but that was a boost to the family's income. She walked to the barn and put the barrel next to the other barrels.

"Whew! That should be the last of 'em," Apple Bloom said wiping sweat from her brow.

When Apple Bloom left the barn, she looked up to see a beautiful star-filled sky. All of the stars were beautifully laid out in wonderful constellations. But one in particular caught Apple Bloom's eye.

It was a star that seemed to grow bigger and bigger with each passing second. No, it wasn't a star... this was a meteor. And it was heading straight for the southern part of the orchard. The meteor crashed exactly where Apple Bloom predicted with a loud boom that the farm girl could feel through her boots.

The next thing Apple Bloom new she was running to the site of the meteorite crash. The site was a smoking crater with several destroyed apple trees laying in charred heaps around it. Within the crater were not a meteorite, but two lifeforms lying within the crater.

One was a pink hedgehog creature wearing a red dress, red boots, and white gloves. The other was a white bat with a one-piece suit with a pink heart-shaped breastplate, white gloves and white boots.

Apple Bloom was stunned. Two alien lifeforms just fell from the sky and landed in her orchard. She had to make sure they were okay. She slid down into the crater and checked to see if they were breathing by placing her hands near their noses.

Thankfully, she could feel their breathing on her hands. She placed them both on each of her shoulders and took them to the barn.

"I hope y'all wake up soon. I got some questions," Apple Bloom said.
