In Opaline's Castle, Opaline walked back and forth in front of her throne with a frown.

Meanwhile, Eggman stood at one side of the throne, his glasses' glow illuminating him, giving him a very intimidating look. Misty stood before both, trying not to shake in fear as she gulped and waited for Opaline to speak.

"So, let me recap this: Those idiots got influenced by the necklace's magic, and since you didn't want anyone more evil than Ivo and I to take over Equestria, your solution was to destroy the necklace?!" Opaline asked/shouted in rage.

Misty gulped again after that outburst and nodded with a sheepish smile.

At this, Opaline ground her teeth and growled before sighing and frowning at Misty. "While I'm not happy with the necklace's destruction, I agree that having those ponies, and whatever those three are supposed to be, is evil. It could be problematic," she admitted. "Still, you broke the necklace, Misty. Now I have no way to communicate with you... again!" she roared.

"You know, Opaline? Maybe it's for the best," Eggman spoke as he stepped in. Opaline glared at him, and Misty looked at him in fear while sweating. "Your power is weakening again, remember? The flame of that lizard's fire that Misty brought you months ago is starting to fade away from your body. Are you going to waste what's left of your power in a 2-minute call to hear that she hasn't trapped your so-desired dragon?" he questioned with a frown.

Opaline blinked a few times after hearing that. "... I suppose you have a valid point..." she admitted. "But I'm still concerned that it was destroyed. Are you sure you didn't destroy it on purpose, Misty?" she asked the mare with a glare.

Misty started to sweat nervously after being accused of that. It was the truth, but Opaline didn't need to know.

"No! It was to prevent any evil competition, you know?" Misty replied in a nervous tone and smile, chuckling nervously.

"You better be telling the truth, Misty," Opaline warned. "I'll let you take your day free today. I hope you use it to reflect on your actions," She then left the Throne Room, leaving Misty and Eggman alone.

Both sighed in relief after she was gone, and Misty turned to see Eggman with a smile. "Thanks for covering my back, Dad–– Doctor!" she quickly corrected herself with a blush. "I don't wanna imagine what she would've done if she found out what happened..." she pointed out nervously.

"Well, you technically didn't lie," Eggman pointed out. "Yeah, sure, you didn't mention that you helped them to get back into their senses before destroy the necklace, but other than that? You didn't lie at all!" he added with a smile.

"Well, when you put it like that..." Misty said as she rubbed her chin with a hoof.

"Besides, I'm also right in this: Her power is weakening, so destroying that necklace would have crossed her mind eventually," Eggman pointed out again. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I gotta see how to mess with that Hedgehog today. You should go and––" he tried to add.

"Wait... TODAY'S JUNE 23rd?!" Misty shouted in panic while placing her hooves on her head. "I gotta go! I really, really gotta go! I was supposed to buy the donuts or Tails, and Pipp will get upset!" she stated as she rushed out of the castle as fast as possible.

Eggman blinked a few times down his glasses after she panicked and ran away. "Uh... I guess I'm gonna get to work, then..." he said, shrugging and walking towards his lab.

But then, Misty returned and popped her head from behind the door. "Oh, and Doctor?" she called out as Eggman turned to face her. "Happy Birthday!" she said with a cheery smile before rushing to the exit again.

Eggman stood completely in shock after hearing that, also blushing in embarrassment.

Ever since he can remember, no one ever wished him a happy birthday, not even his own family, his birthdays always consist of another day at the job for him, and after finding out that Sonic shares the same birthday as him, his schemes consist of eradicating him, or at least defeating him, as his birthday present.

But today, for the first time in years, somepony wished him a happy birthday... That... That made him smile. Genuinely smile.

"Heh... Guess It will be a good day after all," Eggman said with a joyful expression as he entered his lab while whistling a happy melody.

Misty and Knuckles were busy in the Crystal Brighthouse's kitchen, the Mane 5y.

Izzy was placing gloves around and a big blue banner with golden stars that said "Happy Birthday, Sonic!" that she rolled up to hide from him. Sunny and Hitch placed plates and cups on the table; Pipp put a plate with cupcakes; Zipp was twirling some serpentines on the ceiling; Misty put two plates with donuts; and Knuckles put a blue cake with a Sonic figure on top.

Suddenly, Tails burst into the Brighthouse, panting heavily, and then rushed to the rest in the kitchen. "He'll be here! Any second now!" he exclaimed with panic.

Everypony gasped after hearing that, so they quickly gathered around the table, Tails included, as they stood as close as possible to hide the threats.

Then, Sonic entered the Brighthouse, curled into a ball, before standing straight again and sliding with his feet on the ground to stop.

"Hey guys! What's going on?" Sonic asked with a smile. Slowly, he walked towards his friends until he noticed the decorations around them. " Are you guys having a party or something?" he asked curiously.

Then, Tails looked at the rest and counted to three with his fingers. When he reached three, they spread and revealed the treats while Knuckles raised the cake and Izzy unrolled the banner.

"Surprise!" they all said together as Pipp and Zipp made two hoofheld confetti cannons explode and spread confetti around.

Sonic was surprised to see this happen. He felt some deja vu for some reason, but that didn't stop him from smiling at his friends. "Aww, you guys!" he said with happiness.

He approached the table to join his friends, and as he did so, Pipp approached and peeked a small kiss on his cheek, which weirdly made him chuckle but not laugh.

"It's kind of impossible to surprise you!" Sunny pointed out with a little smile.

"We had to be really precise on when to plan all of this out without you finding out," Zipp added with a smile.

"Good thing you always go out for a run every morning," Knuckles said, patting his back with a smirk. "Otherwise, this would've been complicated to pull off."

"But by your reaction, we did a good job!" Pipp said happily as she side-hugged him with a smile.

"Well, you certainly got me this time!" Sonic said with a smirk. "I had no idea!" he confessed.

"Yeah, right!" Tails cheered with a smile. "Happy Birthday, Sonic! Hope you like this!" he added, as he brought out a plate that had a Chili Dog on it with a red ribbon around.

Emphasis on had, because as soon as Tails showed the Chili Dog, Sonic snatched it and chomped it happily, while Tails stared down at the empty plate with wide eyes.

"Like it?!" Sonic asked, turning to Tails with sparkling eyes and a huge smile. "I love it!" he declared, raising his thumbs.

"Well, that's great!" Sunny said with a smile, as Sonic chomped a second time the Chili Dog. "Say, are you up to a day full of fun activities for the birthday boy?" she asked with a smirk and wink.

"Depends. This is not like that dumbass 'Four parties in one thing' from your birthday, right?" Sonic asked with a raised eyebrow while finishing the Chili Dog.

"Nope! Knuckles and I made sure that said mistake won't happen again!" Tails assured as he and the echidna fist-bumped with smirks.

"We organized ourselves this time so we can all do what we want to do with you in one go!" Hitch explained with a smile, showing a list on his phone.

"And there won't be any interruptions in the middle!" Izzy added with a cheery smile. "We're gonna make sure that you have the best birthday ever!" she cheered happily, wrapping a hoof around his neck.

"Well, if you guys coordinated yourselves as you should've, I guess I'm down for some fun!" Sonic said with a smile. "My only concern is a walking egg obsessed with killing me as a his birthday present, but we haven't heard from him in a while, so it's sure to say he's out of ideas. Let's freaking do this!" he cheered out loud.

Everyone else cheered alongside, ready to give Sonic a birthday to remember.

Eggman had his robotic Flicky watching over the conversation.

He was sitting in front of his computer at the lab in the castle. Thanks to the Flicky, he heard everything about the birthday they had prepared for Sonic, and he couldn't grin more if he tried.

"So those fools wanna give Sonic a birthday to never forget, huh?" Eggman said with a chuckle. "Well, I'm down for contributing to that statement!" he added, laughing maniacally for a bit.

Then, he got up from his chair and walked towards his Eggmobile. He then jumped inside, closed the capsule, and started flying out of Opaline's Castle and towards Maretime Bay.

As he did so, he also pressed another button on his Eggmobile. "Sage, while I'm out, take another lecture between the Chaos Energy of the Emeralds and the magical properties of Bridlewood crystals, okay?"

"I'll work on it," Sage replied.

First, and as anyone should've expected, Pipp took Sonic to Mane Melody.

She sat him down on a chair in front of the magic mirror and started showing him several looks he could try out: a spiky head, which he denied; a ponytail, which he had already used before, which is why he denied it again; and a haircut that lifted his quills and also had green stripes. This made him shake his head like a maniac in denial since he almost looked like a Shadow doppelgänger with different-colored skin.

Finally, however, she gave him an emo/punk vibe that made him smile with sparkling eyes. Then, with a smirk, he raised his thumbs approvingly at Pipp, and Pipp smiled back.

Let's go!

Now it was Izzy and Misty's turn to spend time with Sonic.

Izzy brought over a giant empty wall, while Misty brought a bucket with balloons full of paint. Izzy grabbed one with her hoof and threw it against the wall, and Misty followed along.

However, Sonic had a better idea of how to to paint the wall AND have some fun, so he first followed their game along... He suddenly threw one balloon at Izzy's face, covering it in red paint.

Izzy's eyes widened when that happened, and she looked at Sonic, who whistled innocently as he launched another balloon against the wall.

However, Izzy smirked mischievously because she wouldn't allow him to go away with that one. So, she grabbed a balloon and threw it at Sonic, who got his right arm painted with green paint. This made him chuckle, as he grabbed several balloons and started to splat them against Izzy, as the unicorn ran away from him while laughing.

Izzy ran across the board so the wall could get the paint instead of her, but she still got paint over her body.

As Sonic did that, Misty looked at them with a smile and a raised eyebrow until Izzy got behind her, and Sonic launched a balloon splatted on her face, covering it with yellow paint.

Misty's eyes widened in shock while Sonic and Izzy snorted at her. That made Misty smirk mischievously as she grabbed a balloon and splatted it on Izzy's face, covering her in blue paint.

So, the three friends started a paintball fight. They laughed and tried to cover themselves with as much paint as possible, completely forgetting about the wall.

However, they didn't know that Eggman was watching them from behind some bushes, grinning as he pressed a button on his Eggmobile.

Long time no see I know
Whatcha got on your plate today?
Do you want to run away?

After that, a Moto Bug arrived and glared at his objective in the distance: Sonic.

The badnik ran towards Sonic and prepared to stab him in the back now that he was not looking. Still, as soon as he moved to launch another paint balloon at Misty, the badnik tripped and slid on the floor with all the spread paint until it crashed against the wall, as more paint fell on him because of the fight between Sonic, Izzy, and Misty.

We'll make it, no breakin'
Awake and ready to escape
No stopping 'til all the way

However, once Misty looked back at the wall, she gasped with sparkling eyes and pointed her hoof at it: Thanks to the battle, a beautiful painting of Maretime Bay, with the sea and the sun rising high in the background, had been made.

Sonic and Izzy also looked at the wall, and their eyes sparkled at the paint. There was no logical explanation as to how such a beautiful thing happened, but with how many weird things happen to them every day, this is just a new addition to the list.

Suddenly, however, the Moto Bug from before fell to its side and got dizzy eyes, covered in pink, orange, and blue paint, while Izzy, Sonic, and Misty looked at it with confused expressions. Still, they shrugged, and Izzy used the empty bucket to smash the badnik.

After that, the three turned and left, while Eggman deadpanned on his hidden place because of what happened to the badnik and then facepalmed.

Next, Sonic went with Sunny and Hitch.

The two earth ponies knew how much he liked to compete in all kinds of sports, soy they decided to have a Baseball play. Sonic will be the Southpaw pitcher, while Hitch would be catching the ball, and Sunny would be the batter.

Meanwhile, Eggman hide behind a rock, and instead of pulling out one of his trustful badniks, he went for an easer rout and decided to use something not made by him nor from his world, but equally dangerous: A big, black cannon with a skull symbol at the bottom.

It was a Bill Blaster, and Eggman placed it on the sand while pointing at Sonic since he was giving his back again.

Don't count me out
Chasin' disaster, I'm goin' faster
Free my feet, I'll be unleashed

Once Hitch blew a whistle, Sonic started to prepare to launch the ball, while Eggman behind laughed and pressed a button that activated the Bill Blaster, sending a Bullet Bill straight towards Sonic.

However, this didn't make that much because Sonic jumped and curled into a ball, which made the Bullet Bill keep going straight, while Sonic landed and now launched the ball. now

Of course, seeing the Bullet Bill coming to her and thinking it was the ball, Sunny hit it and sent it away, but then the real ball came, and Hitch caught it, blowing the whistle again to indicate that Sunny got a strike, which confused her.

As for the Bullet Bill? Well, it spun in the air and headed towards Eggman and the Bill Blaster, which made the doctor deadpan again, as his mustache flattened in boredom, while he and the Bill Blaster got hit with the Bullet Bill and then sent away.

Now, it was Zipp's turn.

She perfectly knew how much Sonic liked to race, and since Tails recreated the Blue Star II Extreme Gear, they could race in the sky now.

So, after a little test with Tails, Sonic and Zipp were now having a competition in the air, with Zipp flapping her wings as fast as possible, while Sonic wore new shoes and a pair of glasses on his forehead, riding the Blue Star II to race against Zipp.

Meet ya there, I dare ya to come through
In the air, we'll dance like we used to
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
You're givin' me a little mania

While Sonic and Zipp were too focused on the race, Eggman hid in his Eggmobile behind a cloud.bbed his hands mischievously, and then hessed a button that launched a Buzz Bomber from below the vehicle.

With this, the Buzz Bomber began to chase down Zipp and Sonic, but it didn't take them long to notice the badnik. However, they both looked at each other with bored expressions, rolling their eyes and then slowing down to be at the Buzz Bomber's side, which widened the bandit's eyes.

Then, Sonic and Zipp smashed their bodies together against the badnik, damaging it greatly. Zipp kicked it hard enough to send it backwards as it headed towards Eggman, who once again deadpanned and accepted his destiny. The Buzz Bomber crashed with the Eggmobile and exploded, sending Eggman flying away once again.

And finally, Sonic went with Tails and Knuckles.

The three of them stood on a hill for a while, chatting happily as they waited.

What were they waiting for? Well, since Eggman has been trying to kill Sonic the whole day, they all decided it was best to face him off in a proper battle.

Soon enough, Eggman arrived with the Egg Beater, charged up and ready for a proper fight against Team Sonic.

In a dash, we'll crash down the party
I can taste the race in your heartbeat
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
You're givin' me a little mania

Yet this battle was shortened, because Sonic Spindashed on the ground and charged against the Egg Beater, who was trying to smash him down with its fists, Sonic jumped on the Egg beater's face, sending it a bit backwards.

Next, Tails Spindashed around the robot, disarming the machine's arms and then creating a plasma gun with his powers, which he used to blast a powerful laser that sent the Egg Beater even more backward.

Da-da-da-da
Da-da-da
Da-da-da
Mania!
Da-da-da-da
Da-da-da
Da-da-da
Mania

And finally, Knuckles cracked his fists with a smirk before charging electricity on one of them and then sent the Egg Beater, with Eggman on it, flying thousands of miles away with one punch, as the doctor screamed in fright.

Da-da-da-da
Da-da-da
Da-da-da
Mania!
Da-da-da-da
Da-da-da
Da-da-da

Da-da-da
Da-da-da

With the short battle done, the three friends gathered together and smirked before fist-bumping each other in celebration of their victory over Eggman... again.

The entire group gathered together at sundown, this time outside the Brighthouse.

To celebrate his birthday, Sonic decided to picnic outside the Crystal Brighthouse with all the food his friends had had prepared for him.

It was such a good time where they all just spent together and laughed about stuff, enjoying a good time without worries. Even Misty seemed a bit more open than usual and less nervous, even if she was still trying to be careful with her words not to screw it up and suddenly say that she works with Eggman and Opaline.

Finally, they were ready to finish this off with Sonic blowing the candles off his cake. Still, while Knuckles and Hitch struggled to decide if either to use the '26' numbered candles or 26 regular ones, Sonic had an internal conflict with Eggman.

Indeed, he constantly tries to kill him, and it's also true that he gets more obsessed with the idea on his birthday, but... He never stopped considering why in the first place.

Was it because of his frustrations? Was it because he wanted so badly to finally defeat him and say, at least once, that he managed to beat Sonic the Hedgehog? Or was it because his birthdays have been bad even before meeting him? Maybe that would explain why he tries to kill him on this very day every year... Because he saw a target in Sonic, he could release all his stress of never having an actual happy birthday...

Worse of all, as he looked in a certain direction, he gasped because he saw Eggman standing behind some bushes with a frown, but Sonic could see him...

Seeing Eggman frowning wasn't anything new, but... He could see in his face that this had been anything but a happy birthday, just like he expected.

"Sonic!" Tails' voice called out, and Sonic turned to see the young fox. "The candles are ready!" he said with a smile, pointing at the blue '26' candle over the cake.

"Ready to blow it away and make a wish?" Sunny asked, smiling as he approached.

Sonic, however, still seemed conflicted, and before replying, he glanced once again at Eggman hiding behind the bushes, seeing how the doctor sighed and refused with his head before turning around and starting to walk away.

That made Sonic feel... bad for him. He barely had any sympathy for Eggman, but... looking back at all the times they fought on their birthday, he realizes that Eggman wanted to be happy on his birthday, and Sonic still defeated him. For a good reason, true, but... that just made Eggman's unhappy life even more miserable...

Sonic smiled and glanced back at his friends. "Well, I was thinking that this cake needs one more thing," he replied, gaining confused looks from his friends. Izzy, you don't happen to have a '50'- shaped candle, do you?" he asked her with a smile.

Eggman was walking across the forest with a frown.

Once again, this was a horrible birthday... He lost against Sonic again, and worse of all, he was humiliated by him and his friends as usual... It wouldn't bother him; it was just a normal day, but no... It was his birthday, and he still didn't get his present.

He approached his Eggmobile, which was a bit damaged because of the impact he got on the Egg Beater earlier, and the sight just made him sigh heavily and rub his eyes again.

"What's the point anymore? I keep fighting this hedgehog on his birthday every day, and I still lose..." Eggman said with a frown and a disappointed tone. "Why do I insist on defeating an unstoppable force? Why can't I accept that I lost?!" he shouted in rage.

"Because you never give up," Sonic's voice spoke, which surprised the doctor.

He slowly turned around and found Sonic, holding the cake his friends made for him with the blue '26' candle already on. However, it also had an Eggman figure besides the Sonic one, which made Eggman raise an eyebrow, confused.

"I dismantle your plans, destroy your robots, defeat your badniks, kick your butt, and make fun of you..." Sonic pointed out as he walked with the cake towards Eggman, who didn't flinched nor tried to step back. "And you still keep fighting because that's who you are... Ivo," Sonic finished with a smile.

Okay, this was something new for Eggman... Sonic only called him by his real name whenever he was mad or upset in general... But he was calling him by his name with so much calm that whatever kind of insult he had prepared for him when he was done speaking just faded away.

"Even if you are still a pain in my ass, I find pretty admirable that you look back at your failures and still manage to come back better than the last time," Sonic kept speaking. "It's pretty hard to top yourself sometimes, and you still do it... Even if it threatens millions of lives, but still... It's impressive how much you outdo yourself," he added with a smirk.

Then, he carefully moved the cake to one side revealing something that made Eggman's eyes widen: a red '50' candle right beside the other one.

This surprised the doctor because that's how old he's becoming today, and the cake that was supposed to be only for Sonic now had his age in there as well... That would explain why there was a figure of himself beside Sonic's.

Soon enough, as the sun settled on the horizon, the Mane 5, Misty, Tails, and Knuckles arrived slowly, holding either a blue or red candle while humming a melody and surrounding both Sonic and Eggman, with Sonic smiling at his friends. At the same time, Eggman felt confused on what was happening.

"I know we're not pals, Eggman... And I know that tomorrow we'll both wake up and desire to defeat each other as usual..." Sonic admitted with a sad smile, carefully placing the cake on the ground and then looking back at Eggman. "But... I say we make a truce, just this one time, and let ourselves enjoy this day. It is our birthday, after all!" he pointed out with a smirk. "So, what do you say, Ivo? Wanna have a happy birthday today?" he asked, extending his hand at him.

Eggman had no words to describe how he was feeling right now... These people... These ponies... They've been frustrating his plans for months now, and right now, they were trying to make him feel special and appreciated on his birthday...

He had no idea why they were doing it. Was this a trick to catch him with his guard down? Was this just a prank?

But Misty was with them... He didn't realize that until now... She was smiling as she hummed along with the rest. Why would she do that if this was a prank?

He looked back at Sonic with his hand extended... And even if he hated to do it, he had to recognize it: Sonic was right. This is their birthday. And, despite everything they have lived before that have settled them as enemies, Eggman wanted to have one happy birthday... Maybe it was time to take that chance now that he had it.

So, he sighed, looked Sonic in the eyes, who was still smirking and smirked back, stretching his hand with the hedgehog.

Once the enemies separated their hands, the humming from the test stopped, and the the cake started to float,, thanks to Izzy's magic. Sonic and Eggman looked around, then at each other,, and nodded with smiles, knowing exactly what to do now.

Both of them closed their eyes, even if it couldn't be seen with Eggman because of his glasses, and then they blown the cake candles with their wishes, which made the rest around them cheer at them, even at Eggman, for his surprise.

Sonic's wish was to keep having these good momentse with those who mattered to him, even if bad experiences came along the way...

Eggman's wish? Despite being a villain, his wish was pretty surprising, even for himself...

He just wished to have another happy birthday like this one next year...

On the snowy parts of Equestria, a white portal appeared suddenly during a blizzard.

Team Dark and Amy Rose appeared from this portal and landed on the snow. Shadow was the first one to stand up and look around quickly. But he saw nothing but a snowy storm around.

"W-Where are we?!" Amy asked as she started shivering from the cold.

"No idea," Shadow replied casually. He was also shivering but wanted to stay calm to 'not lose his cool'.

"O-Omega... S-Scan the area a-and report," Rouge said, also shivering from the cold.

Omega stood up and scanned the place. "Current location: unknown," he informed.

"G-Great... Now what?" Amy said with frustration.

"I think we're in the right place,," Shadow said suddenly,, his arms crossed and eyes closed.

"H-How can you tell?!" Rouge asked in concern and anger.

"Because I haven't felt the energy of the Chaos Emeralds ever since they disappeared with Sonic," Shadow explained, opening his eyes again and looking at Rouge. "But right now... I can feel it again," he added.

"... T-Then... t-that means..." Amy tried to say in excitement.

"We did it," Shadow said in her place. "We arrived in Equestria," he stated.

Despite being freezing almost death, Amy still smiled happily, while Rouge kept trembling because of the cold.

"G-Great... N-Now, can we find a place to stay and get warm? P-Please?" Rouge begged shaky, hugging herself.

"As much as I would love to go after those three and Dr. Eggman, Rouge has a point," Shadow recognized. "Not even I could survive this kind of temperature," he confessed.

"Y-You admitting you c-can't do something?" Amy mocked up with a smirk, even if she kept trembling from the cold. "A-Are we sure you were n-not exchanged with an S-Shadow from another universe or s-something?" she mocked more.

Shadow only rolled his eyes in annoyance and turned to see the robot. "Omega. Find the warmest place possible. We don't need to die from a cold here," he instructed.

Omega immediately started to scan his surroundings, searching for such a place, but because of the storm, he could barely see anything that wasn't a bunch of snow.

"Current climate condition messes with my visual contac,t" Omega replied. "My services cannot help right now," he added, looking down in shame.

Shadow frowned, Amy facepalmed, and Rouge groaned in annoyance after hearing that.

"G-Great! N-Now, what do we do?!" Rouge asked with concern.

Shadow let out a long sigh. "I guess we'll have to look for cover by ourselves..." he said with concern as he started to walk on the snow in a random direction.

Amy groaned after hearing this but still decided to follow Shadow, with Omega following as well, while Rouge let out a very loud and frustrated groan before sighing in defeat and following the others as well.

In Eggman's lab, Sage was running several tests on the registered lectures she had.

So far, there still seemed to be no relation nor connection between the Chaos Energy of the Chaos Emeralds and the magical properties of Bridlewood's crystals, which was making Sage frustrated, even if she was just an AI program.

However, as she was about to give up, one of the many tests she ran finally showed something satisfying, so she quickly opened said test and presented the data onscreen.

"Coincidence: Found" Sage said out loud.

The data generally said that the magical properties from the crystals and the Chaos Energy were... the same kind of energy, just with a different origin on their creation...

TO BE CONTINUED IN SONIC THE HEDGEHOG X MY LITTLE PONY: MAKE YOUR MARK - SEASON 2

Author's Note

Guys, this is it... In one week exactly, Sonic x Make Your Mark: Season 2 premieres!

Also, behold! The very first original episode in Sonic x Tell Your Tale I've ever made! And it came in the first try again, WHOO!!!

Now, there's several things I wanna talk about today's Episode:

1- Since the actual TYT Episode released today had stuff that I cannot talk about because... Well, spoilers, I decided to make my own thing today! And I like it, to tell the truth. I think I still captured what TYT usually does, but now by having Sonic and Eggman as the protagonists.

2- You might think that because Season 2 premieres on Sonic and Eggman's actual birthday, the first episode is a birthday episode... Yeah, go buy some clown makeover, you're gonna need it. I wanted to make this episode Sonic's birthday because of the same reason that Season 2 doesn't has it: Eggman. I wanted him to have a wholesome birthday, and it honestly works better in TYT than in MYM.

3- Team Dark's arrival is half of a copy paste, I know, but I wanted to tease them in TYT for the very first time before actually using them in Season 2 next week.

4- That last thing with the Chaos Emeralds and Bridlewood's crystals having the same kind of energy with different origins... Yeah, Frontiers goes deeper on this subject, but let's just say: If you think you know everything about the Chaos Emeralds, you're really gonna use that clown makeover...

And that's pretty much everything I can say! Thanks so much for reading so far, and brace yourselves, 'cause we're dropping Season 2 next week!

P.S: Thanks to JD1 for editing this chapter!
