Chapter 3: Ponyville

I was right about how things would change now that Equestria and Mobius have collided. When I got to Ponyville, things were out of control. There were eggpawns everywhere. There must've been at least 50 of them. Ponies were running everywhere and they were all frightened about the eggpawns. Then something caught my eye. It was Rouge the Bat standing between two houses in the shadows.

"Finally, someone to talk to." I said and in the blink of an eye, I was standing next to her.

"Well, look who finally decided to show up." She said. "I was wondering where you were, do you know anything about what's going on?" she questioned. I knew almost exactly knew what was happening thanks to the Dr. and Zecora. I told her the story about how we got here and I told her what this place is. She wasn't too surprised about this sudden change. She'd also seen this happen before too.

"Do you think we should help these ponies by destroying the eggpawns?" she questioned.

"No, Sonic will come." I answered. We waited for a little while then, finally, Sonic came and took care of the eggpawns. "Besides," I said to her, "I think it's better if we weren't seen. The ponies might become too frightened and they might want to kill us, and we don't want that to happen."

"So then why is Sonic out there taking care of the job?" she questioned.

"Sonic has a way to be friends with strangers, let them get used to the fact that there are creatures like us. He'll tell everyone what's happening and when he does then we can come out of hiding." I pointed out. We saw Sonic finish the job and a rainbow Pegasus standing in awe.

"That was awesome!" we heard her shout.

"Eh, it was nothing." said Sonic.

"Nothing, you just single handedly took out like seventy eggpawns!" said the Pegasus.

"I'd have to agree with Rainbow Dash. That was very impressive." We heard another pony say. She was a purple unicorn with a dark colored mane and tail and a pink stripe that completed it.

"Hey Twilight." said Rainbow Dash.

"Good morning Rainbow, who's your friend?" said Twilight.

Sonic replied triumphantly, "I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog." Why does he always introduce himself like that?

"Pleased to meet you Sonic, I'm Twilight Sparkle. Where are you from?" she questioned.

"That's kind of a long story." Sonic replied.

"Gather the others Twilight, I want them to hear." Rainbow Dash demanded, and with that they took off.

"What does she mean when she said 'the others'?" Rouge asked me.

"Maybe she wants her friends to listen too. I'm also guessing that this is a start of another adventure." I replied.

Then Rouge looked at me strangely.

"What?" I asked.

"Well, your the leader now. What do you want to do? Should we find out more about this place? Should we start looking for the chaos emeralds? Should we look for Dr. Eggman?" she questioned.

"I think we should start looking for the chaos emeralds first." I answered.

"I've got one right here to get us started." Rouge said. She gave it to me and as she did, it started to glow. I looked into it to see if I could tell where the nearest emerald was. Finally, it pointed toward and apple orchard.

"It's there." I said and we were off to find the emerald.

When we got to the orchard we saw that the emerald led us to a small tree house in the middle of the orchard. We heard voices coming from inside. We looked through one of the windows to see if there was anyone in here. There were three fillies talking about what they found today. They've got two chaos emeralds!

"What 'r we going to do with 'em?" The yellow Earth pony asked.

"I think we should give them to my sister. You know how much Rarity loves gems." the white unicorn answered.

"Or, we could sell them at a high price." exclaimed the orange pegasus. Then the emeralds started to glow again.

"What's going on?" said the unicorn.

"We need to get in there." Rouge said to me, and with that she was already knocking at the front door. That fool, what did I just tell her! We can't be seen, but it was too late, the fillies had already opened the door.

"Good afternoon, my name is Rouge the Bat and I'm here to pick up those emeralds you have." she said. What in the world is she thinking?!

"Wait, you're who?" said the pegasus. Rouge told them about our world and what we must do. I was introduced to them, be it idiotic as it seemed.

"I'm Applebloom!" said the Earth pony.

"I'm Scootaloo!" said the pegasus.

"And I'm Sweetiebell!" said the unicorn.

"And we are The Cutie Mark Crusaders!" they all cheered.

"What's a cutie mark?" Rouge asked.

"A cutie mark is something you get when you discover what makes you special." explained Sweetiebell.

"We don't have 'em yet, but we're going to continue to try 'til we get 'em." said Applebloom.

"Not to change the subject, but may we have those emeralds now?" I asked. This was a waste of my time.

"Wait, can we go with you to find the other emeralds?" Scootaloo asked.

"This task can get really dangerous, I think Rouge and I should take it from here." I said.

"Oh, that's fine...I guess." said Sweetiebell. Then she started to taunt me with a cute face. That fool, I can't be convinced that easily. Then the others started to do it. Rouge looked at me and I knew she was convinced.

"I said no!" I exclaimed, and with said, that I was gone. I ran to the other side of the orchard where all I could see was a beautiful land under the nighttime sky. What am I going to do? I've already got Rouge to take care of, I'm in a world that I don't belong in, and now I don't even know what to do. I decided to rest for a little bit and try to set my mind on something else. I fell asleep after awhile.
