Sonic High Ch. 3: Standing up to the Sun

Sonic wandered around the halls of Canterlot High School, in search of anything that could aid Twilight in her mission. He began to grow a bit hungry.

“Man...I could use something to eat...guess that dimensional jump sure made me hungry...” he looked around for a bit before finding a vending machine. He smiled but it soon faded. “I doubt this world accepts rings as money...” he dug through the pockets of his pants before pulling out, to his surprise, a few quarters. “Wow! Talk about convenient!” He began to make his way to the vending machine before noticing a light pink haired girl with creamy-yellow skin. Sonic turned to look at her as she passed by. “Huh...that’s weird...she looks kinda familiar...” Sonic couldn’t help but to quickly change direction to follow her. The food would have to wait.

The girl looked behind her to notice Sonic following her and began to walk faster, eventually beginning to run. Sonic gave chase.

“Hey! Wait up! I just wanna talk!” he shouted, hoping to calm her and get her to stop running but she just kept going. Suddenly Sonic was on the ground, having bumped into Sunset Shimmer, the so called ‘ruler of the school’ Sonic got back onto his feet.

“Ugh...sorry about that. I didn’t see you there.” he apologized.

But Sunset Shimmer only glared at him. “Why don’t you watch where you’re going! Do you even know who I am?!” she growled.

Sonic frowned. “Whoa. Unnecessary roughness! No need to be so grumpy about it. It was just an accident.” He explained.

Sunset Shimmer suddenly shoved Sonic against a locker! “I can be as mean as i want! I’m the popular one here so if i were you, I’d watch I say. But since i see you’re new here, I’ll let it slide for now. And by the way, just so you know who to stay away from, The name’s Sunset Shimmer.” she then released Sonic and began to walk away.

Sonic froze before remembering what Twilight had said. He then began to give chase before turning a corner and stopping. Sunset Shimmer had found someone else to pick on, a little kid with light orange skin, an orange shirt with a wrench design, blue shorts, and red and white shoes.

Sunset Shimmer quickly snatched a book that the boy had and read the cover. “Hmm...legend of the dimensional statue? Is this about the statue at the front of the school? You do realize that all this is just a story? Why would you believe in something so stupid??” she chuckled before throwing the book in a nearby trash can.

The young student frowned. “It’s an interesting topic. I can read about it if i want to!” he said.

Sunset Shimmer glared. “Are you arguing with me??” she questioned clenching her fist and raising it up to the boy’s face. He was instantly intimidated and quickly shook his head. “Uh..n-no. I’m s-sorry!” he apologized with a scared look.

Sonic had seen enough. He got behind Sunset and tapped her shoulder. “Hey Sunset. First of all, we don’t treat people like that! And second, I believe you owe Twilight Sparkle a royal apology for stealing her crown!” he confidently said.

Sunset Shimmer froze before turning around to face the blue haired hero with a confused look, trying to act innocent. “Who’s this Twilight Sparkle? I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

But Sonic wasn’t convinced. “Quit playing innocent. I happen to be friends with her and I know what you did!” he smiled.

Sunset backed away. “Who are you?”

Sonic chuckled. “I’m just a guy of adventure and freedom. I’m Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog!” he quietly said, directed only at Sunset Shimmer.

The red-headed girl glared. “You haven’t seen the last of me Sonic. My plan hasn’t even started to take action. And once it does, It’ll be too late. For you and Twilight!” she warned before walking away.

Sonic watched her leave while the young student approached Sonic with a smile. “Uh...thanks for standing up for me. No one’s been able to stand up to Sunset Shimmer before!”

Sonic turned back to the newcomer. “Huh? Oh. It was nothing!” He reached into the trash can and pulled out the book that Sunset had thrown in. “Here’s your book back.” he said, giving the kid his belonging.

He smiled. “Thanks! I’m Miles Prower. It’s nice to meet you.”What’s your name?” he asked, holding out a hand.

Sonic accepted the handshake. “I’m Sonic. It’s nice to meet you too. You know...you kinda remind me of someone. Would it be ok if I called you Tails?”

Tails shrugged. “Well...i guess it’s ok. Sure.” he smiled.

Sonic smiled back. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go find someone.” He was about to run off before...

“Wait! Uh...mind if I come with?” He asked.

Sonic smiled. “Let’s go.” And with that, the two friends rushed off to the library, unaware they were being followed by Sunset Shimmer...
