Sondash: carved in stone

Dash has the haunting dream about the emerald green eyed prince and sighs when she woke up. "I keep seeing him, yet i can never find who he is..." derpy flies to dash's door and puts a letter in her mailbox and knocks on the door. Dash opens the door abd sees the letter. She opens it and finds that twilight needed her. She sighs.
Dash went over to twilight's. "Hey, derpy told me you needed me?" She nods. "Yeah, i'm testing out a time travel spell and need a volunteer!" Dash rolls her eyes. "Me i guessing?" She nods again. "So, when am i going?" "About 1000 years ago, i need to see something..." dash nods. "Okay, let me guess, avoid doing too much to avoid altering time, right?" She smiles. "Pretty much" she sighs. "Let a rip..." twilight starts to perform the spell. "You'll be there for about a week, in the time period the events happen. Stay in canterlot though" she nods and disappears in a flash of light. She appears in a medieval town. It looked like an rustic version of ponyville. She quickly flies to canterlot. She sees signs for a ball at the castle with free invitations attached. She picks one. "Hmm, twilight said it had to do with nightmare moon..." she flies to everfree to find it was a nice and quiet forest. "This place must have changed..." she enters the castle and looks around. She walks to the ball room to see hundreds of ponies. She walks around looking around. The prince saw this. His guards start to walk toward dash and he shakes his head. "No, i'll take care of it" he gets up and walks over to her. "Escuse me?" She looks up and stops. 'Huh! It's him!' A bright blush went across her face. "Yes?" "What are you doing?" "A friend asked me to travel here to find things out. I don't meen to disrupt anything..." he smiles. "How about we find somewhere to talk" she nods and follows him out to a pavillion where nopony was. "So, who's your friend?" "Her name's twilight, she's celestia's apprentice" he nods. "She's my mother, and when is this?" She sighs. "About 1000 years from now" he eyes her funny. "Time travel? That must be fun" she shrugs. "I guess. And celestia's your mother? I should've seen you then" he smiles. "I don't know, 1000 years sounds a little boring to me. Especially the way i'm kept in the castle. But i like to sneak out to explore" she blushes again and rubs the back of her head. "By the way, my name's sonic, yours?" "Umm... rainbow dash. Say, do you believe in fate?" He nods. "Like love at first sight or in a dream? Sure" she smiles. "Well, i've been having dreams and i've been seeing you..." he smiles. "Well, isn't that something?" She shrugs sheepishly. "It's childish really..." he shakes his head. "Not at all, we all dream at one point." They continue to talk throughout the night. Dash begins to really like him. She's even offered a room while she's staying. Sonic is talking to celestia about it. "She's amazing! She claims she used a time travel spell to travel back 1000 years!" She nods. "I believe it! She seems nice" "she also says she's the element of loyalty later" celestia's smile disappears. "Why would that be? The only way that would happen is if luna and i... oh no..." celestia gets up and walks off and gets a few guards to follow her. Sonic was confused. She walks into luna's room and it's empty. The drapes were torn down and the room was a complete wreck. She finds a note. 'See you in hell' she drops the note. "Guards! We need to set up a search party! We need to find luna as soon as possible!" They nod. Dash hears the guards walk down the hall. "It may be starting to happen." She checks the clock to see it was almost midnight. She yawns and lays down. *the next  morning* she wakes up to find a fresh breakfast on a tray. She smiles. She walks out. Sonic sees her. "Nice bedhead" she looks up to see her messy hair. "Ugh..." she ruffles her hair back to normal. "So, anything else you need to find out?" She shrugs. "She just said to find things out about how luna turns into nightmare moon" "nightmare moon? Strange name. But luna? How?" Dash shrugs. "I'll figure it out. I'd hate myself if i came back empty handed" "how long do you have?" "About three days or so." He nods. They walk out to the statue garden. "I love walking out here..." she nods. "The last time i was here was when i battled discord" he nods. "Luna and celestia defeated him like five years ago" she nods. They see the statue of him that he looks like he's singing. She smiles. "He looks differant later, my friends and i have to defeat him later" he nods. "Cool" they keep walking. They soon walk into a grotto near the edge of the garden. There were a few statues, but not much. Celestia knew luna had done something. She checks the room again and finds signs of a struggle. "She was taken..." dash and sonic talk for a while. Sonic likes dash's overall attitude toward everything. *that night* dash wakes up realizing she had fallen asleep in the grotto. It was warm and tiring in the grotto. She sees sonic asleep next to her and her face turns bright red. He stirs and wakes up. "Dash? Are you okay?" She sheepishly nods. "Y-yeah..." he realizes what time it was. "Oh, wow... we were out here all day?" She nods. It was raining heavily out. Dash grins and walks out. Her mane soon got wet. He follows her. Dash laughs. "Thank celestia for rain!!" He grins. She looks at him and blushes. He looks at her. He makes a magic shield over her to block the rain. She blushes again. "Umm... thanks" he nods and walks back toward the castle. They get inside and dry off. Celestia smiles. "Enjoying the rain?" They nod. Dash sighs and yawns. She heads to her room. Sonic follows her. Celestia sighs. "He found someone..." dash turns around to close her door and sonic kisses her on the lips. She blushes dright red. She eventually gives in and kisses back. They separate and smile. "Sonic..." she kisses him again and smiles. "I hope i can find you once i return..." he nods. "Sweet dreams!" They hug and he walks off. Dash fell asleep with her face still bright red. *the next day* sonic woke up after a bad dream of dash getting turned to stone by a dark figure. Dash woke dreaming the same except about him. They meet up in the hallway and sigh in relief. "Bad dream?" She nods. "You too?" They laugh. "Well, it won't happen" "i hope not!" Theybwalk out to find it was still raining. "Still? Heavy downpour" they just spend the day inside talking. Dash had no idea how much time had past that day. "Wait! I still need to find out what happens!" He nods. "So, we're going out there?" She nods amd they walk out into the downpour. They walk into the statue garden and look around. They see a tall, slender figure. They chuckle evily. Sonic and dash gasp. "Dash! Is that nightmare moon?" She nods. "Yeah! Be careful!" He nods and gets ready to fight. Dash notices that she was starting to disappear. "No!" Sonic looks at her. "What's wrong??" "I'm going back!" Before he could speak, a blast of dark magic hits him. Dash watches in horror as he stiffened up and turned to stone. Nightmare moon laughs. "Foolish child..." dash disappears and is soon back in the library. Twilight smiles. "Did you see what happened?" Dash whines. "Y-yeah..." twilight got worried. "What's wrong?" She leaves and takes off. She flies to canterlot and finds the grotto in the statue garden. It was now a building. She opens the gate and sees the still form of sonic. Tears leaked down her face. "No..." she walks into the castle to face celestia. Celestia sees her. "You..." "what happened that night? I returned before i saw everything" she nods. "Nightmare moon... turned him to stone and i went through with defeating her and sent her to the moon for 1000 years" dash sighs. "She deserved more..." luna walks in and dash flashs her an angry frown. Luna backs away slowly and dash ran after her. "You bucking killed him! WHY?!" Dash stops and sobs. "Why..." celestia walks over. "Rainbow dash, i know you miss him..." she nods. "We got along so well... and he was taken away from us..." sonic the hedgehog sped through mobius. It started to rain heavily and he remembers the feeling of emptiness he felt whenever he slept. A dark figure always haunted his dreams. he just stands there for a few moments. He sighs and runs home. He felt he didn't belong on mobius. He felt alone on it. He almost had nothing in common with his friends except maybe attitude, in a way. Tails flew by sonic's house. "Sonic?" He lets tails in. "Yeah tails?" "Are you okay? You've seemed completely out of it lately" "i have been, i'm still having those dreams" "the one's with the dark figure? Describe them" "well, she's midnight black, has light blue armour and has matching hair" tails nods. "Doesn't sound like any kind of mobian... or robot..." sonic wispers something. Tails raises an eyebrow. "What?" "Alicorn..." "those mixes of pegasus and unicorn? Those are only a myth" sonic shrugs. "That's the only thing i can think of that she'd be though" tails nods. "Well, we know none of those live here, if any" dash returns to ponyville. Twilight walks over to her. They were on the docks and it was raining. "Dash, what happened?" "...nothing" twilight nods. "I'll leave you alone then" "twilight, why did you send me?" "Because you're brave. I wanted to find out how luna turned into nightmare moon" dash sighs. "It's the same as the history, she got jealous and just turned" she nods. "Then why are you this way?" "I fell in love..." she smiles slightly. "But i couldn't save him..." twilight nods. "Who?" "The prince..." twilight frowns. "I'm sorry..." dash nods. "At least i know he's there..." tails sighs. "Let me guess, you feel you don't belong here again?" Sonic nods. "I remember that i was in love... she disappeared and everything went cold and empty..." "like, you got turned to stone or something?" Sonic nods again. "Do you have anything that could tell me where i'm from?" Tails smiles. "I do, be right back" tails opens a metal door with a key and walks inside. He picks a device up and dusts it off. "This is an old invention of mine. It works fine, but i'll need to update it soon" sonic nods. Tails puts the plastic cuff around sonic's wrist. It hums to life and the screen flashs on. 'SONIC THE ALICORN, SON OF PRINCESS CELESTIA. AGE: 1017 YEARS OLD. ORIGIN: CANTERLOT, EQUESTRIA' the answer alarmed tails. He tries it again and it says the same thing. "Well sonic, you're right, you don't belong here" sonic nods. "I knew who it mentioned, celestia...." tails sighs. "Sonic, try to use magic" sonic nods and concintrates. A bunch of items in the room glowed green and started to float around. Sonic puts the stuff all back. Tails grunts. "Wow" tails gets up and grabs a bunch of parts. He constructs a planet finder. He then takes a book off of his shelf and hands it to sonic. 'The fantasy land' was the title of the book. Sonic opens it and starts to read. He gets about half way when he stopped. Tails finds equestria on the device. "Found it! It's about 2 planets away from here" sonic nods. "I need your device that turned us into... you know and a ship." Tails nods. He goes into the room and comes out and hands sonic the device. "Give me a little time to get the ship together" sonic nods. He looks at the device and switchs it to a setting tails had said to avoid. He turns it on and there's a huge flash from the shop. Tails runs in and finds the device destroyed and sonic gone. Sonic gets a feeling of emptyness again for a moment and then found himself in the grotto. He breathed in the cool air. Nothing really had changed except for the grotto having a gate and more statues. He opens the gate and it was raining. He sees that the discord statue had changed position. It was dark out. He walks to the castle and finds it locked. He shrugs and flies up to the window he saw open. He walks through to see stained glass windows with depictions of the mane six doing various things. He sees dash as one of them. He decided to see how everything was before showing himself. He uses his magic to hide his horn and make his dark blue coat a bright whitish blue. He walks out and flies to ponyville. It was busy at the small town. Sonic walks into the library. He sees a calender: 3400. "It's been 1000 years..." he flew up into the air. He looks around for dash and didn't see her. He sighs. He flies back to canterlot. He sees a stained glass window with a sad celestia and him as a stone statue. His heart ached to see her again. He ran into the castle. He finds a place to change back. He walks to the mane room and finds that she wasn't there.  Sonic returned to ponyville back in his disguise. He sees twilight. "Hello? I'm looking for rainbow dash" twilight nods. "Sure, soarin" "who?" She blinks. "Oh! Sorry, you look like him" she points toward the docks and he's gone when she puts her arm down. He sees dash. He frowns. He walks up and slowly changes back. Dash looks up and lets the rain drip down her face. It was the only thing that reminded her of that night. Twilight blinks. "Is it just me or did they...? No..." dash shivered after a while. She didn't care though. Getting sick couldn't change anything... she then ran to the edge of the dock and jumps in. She didn't try to swim. Sonic panicked and jumped in after her. The shock of the cold water knocked her out and didn't realize that sonic pulled her to shore. He started to try and push the water out of her. She coughed up water and opens her eyes. She looks up at him with a half knocked out look and closed her eyes again. *several days later* she wakes up in the hospital suddenly. It was still raining out. She heard it hit the window every second. She sighs. Redheart walks in. "Good, you're awake!" "What happened?" "A nice pegasus found you in the lake and saved your life!" She nods. "What did they look like?" "Tall, dark blue, and looked like he had deep worry about you" "did he say his name?" She shakes her head. "No, but he left a note" she hoofs the note to dash. 'Hey rainbow! Don't go jumping into cold, stormy water! It's been a looong time! How's this, meet me in the grotto' she sits the note down. She gets up and hurries to the grotto. It was misty and warm due to the rain. "Wait, how do they know about the grotto?" She walks until she sees the statue. She walks up to it. The blank look it gave her made  her burst into tears. Sonic waited until she calmed down to soft sniffles. "Why did i have to leave... if i had more time, we'd be together..." sonic was behind the statue. She then sighs. "Oh well... guess there's no one here..." she turns around and leaves. Sonic looks up, hearing flapping wings. Dash left the grotto and soon luna faced sonic. He backs away. "You... why..." she sighs. "I was taken over by the darkness inside of me... i couldn't help it" he nods. "Well, i want you to ask dash for forgiveness, even though you couldn't help it, you broke her heart" luna sadly nods. "Okay..." she takes off toward ponyville. Dash was sitting on a bank of storm clouds when luna found her. dash sees her. "What do you want..." "i'm here to make amends and ask for your forgiveness" dash turns away. "Bring him back and then we'll talk..." luna sighs. "To tell you the truth, i don't think i can bring him back" dash flies off. She gets to her house and she turns around to close the door and something happens. Sonic was there. She opens her eyes. "S-sonic??" He nods. "Get my note?" She didn't answer. She was speechless. She kisses him deeply. "Yes..." they walk inside and sonic answers a bunch of questions dash had. They go to sleep on her couch together. *the next morning* she wakes up and looks around to find herself in her bed. She felt tears leak down her face. "Dammit... it was only a dream..." she slumps down on her bed. "Last night was all fake..."  she stays indoors all day. *that night* dash looks outside to see the rain had finally stopped. She sighs. Sonic looks through a window to see her. 'I should've stayed...' he watchs her go to bed on the couch they had slept together on. He then flies to canterlot to see if he could see celestia. Luna was busy telling her about sonic being back. Celestia didn't believe a word luna was telling her. Sonic walks into the castle. He walks up to them. Luna nods. "See??" Dash opens her pink eyes. Something bothered her. She got up and flew back to canterlot. She walks into the grotto and found that the statue was gone. She looks around to see if it was moved or something and doesn't see him. A ray of hope showed in her mind. He was out on the balcony talking to princess celestia when dash ran onto the balcony. Sonic smiles. "Hello, dash" she ran up and hugged him. "I had a ream that you came back the other day" "that wasn't a dream, i was busy that day and i had to leave early" she nods. They hug. Celestia smiles. "It looks like fate wants you two together" they nod. Celestia leaves them so they could be alone. "So, what was so important that you had to leave?" He smiles. He takes out a small box. "I spent most of the day collecting crystals and selling them to afford this..." dash was freaking out in her head. 'Holy shit! What do i do?!' She just nods. He opens it. "Would you marry me?" An obvious blush flashed across her face. "To tell you the truth, i was freaking out in my head... i don't know how to answer..." he nods. "Take your time, if it's too early, i understand" she shakes her head. "No! Not like that! I didn't know how to say yes!" She kisses him. They hug tightly. Celestia and luna look through the window and smile. "Looks like another big wedding! The other one was just last week" they laugh. Luna decided to raise a full moon tonight with a pink tint to it. Twilight looks up. "Wow... haven't seen one of those since shining armour and cadence got married. I wonder who it is this time" *the next morning* twilight finds a parcel with the royal canterlot symbol on it at her door when she gets up. It also had a lightning bolt on it. She opens it and gasps. She excitedly teleports to each of the other four's houses. She scared them doing so. She left a slip for each of them. They each were both surprised and happy at the same time. Twilight was set to organize the whole thing, fluttershy, vinyl, and octavia were on music, applejack and pinkie were on food detail, and rarity was designing the dress. Twilight and the others hurry to canterlot. Dash and sonic were standing at the castle entrance when they get up. Tails scanned for sonic and found him on equestria. "He made it... i'm going there, i need to ask him" tails used the teleporter to get to canterlot. He looks around and then looks up at the castle. 'He must be in there...' tails hurries in and sees sonic. He recognised him from when they got turned into ponies. "Sonic!" Sonic sighs and turns around. "Tails... why am i not surprised..." tails smiles and looks around. "Why all the decorations? Special occation?" Sonic nods. "Yeah, you could say that!" Tails was confused. "Why do you sound so excited?" sonic smiles. "Because today's a special day for me" dash walks up and they kiss. Tails double takes. "OH...MY...GOD..." dash laughs. "Chill out! Don't be so dramatic! It's going to be awesome!" tails sighs. "You two are very alike..." they both nod. "We know!" they then explain to tails how they really met. "So, that thing with sonic telling me he was a statue was real? And he's over 1000 years old?? Great..." sonic pats tails on the back. "and we'll know you for a long time! You're a kitsune, right?" he nods. "Something tells me i'm not going to see you that often any more" sonic shrugs. "You can visit anytime!" he winks at tails. "You need to find yourself a girl, instead of having your face crammed in a book all day!" dash snickers. "Sounds like my friend twilight..." tais rolls his eyes and returns to mobius with a wtf look on his face. Dash and sonic laugh. "He'll probably be back later" everypony was hard at work on their assigned tasks. Octavia and vinyl are arguing over the music. "Why did they want us both?? It makes no obvious sence!" "Chill! Maybe they wanted a variety!" octavia rolls her eyes. "well, as long as we don't have to play at the same time" they nod in agreement. The wedding gets underway after about four hours of preparing. Sonic was really nervous and had no one to talk to. He didn't know any colts that could help him out. He adjusted his tie with his magic and takes a deep breath. He hears hoofsteps and turns around. A wonderbolt walks in. They take their mask off. Sonic sighs. "Soarin, i'm guessing?" they nod. "How'd you know?" "i changed my look with my magic and ended up getting mixed up with you the other day" they laugh. "Weird, well good luck! I'm glad somepony won her heart" sonic raises an eyebrow. "Why is that?" "I dated her for a little while, yeah it didn't really work out too well. She kept saying i wasn't like some kind of dreamy prince she knew somewhat 1000 years ago or something" sonic grins. "You don't say..." soaring slaps himself when he realizes something. "She was talking about you, wasn't she?!" sonic nods. "Well, i kind of got turned into a statue and didn't get out for 1000 years!" soarin sighs. "She also said i couldn't keep up with her, she actually challenged the entire wonderbolts team and won! It's unbelievable!" sonic laughs. "She's a live wire! She has more competition than i do!" soarin nods. "Well, i need to go, i'm part of the air display for the wedding!" sonic nods and soarin leaves. Sonic walks out and waits at the isle. Sonic looks down the isle to see a flash of green. He sees shadow flip him off and disappear. 'oh great... at least he gave me a present...' dash walks out with the cmc's in front throwing flowers. She was dressed in a dress similar to her gala dress but nicer and more suited for a wedding. She smiles at him and walks down the isle. She gets there and dr. Whooves was the one who read the vows and everything. "Do you rainbow dash, take sonic to be your husband?"

He nods and faces sonic. "Do you, sonic, take rainbow dash to be your wife?"

knowing in my heart that you will be

my faithful partner in life,

Rarity was tearing up in the audience. Dash smiles. Dr. Whooves nods. "you may kiss the bride" sonic takes the vail up and smiles. She smiles back and they kiss. The audience cheers and applauds.  Sonic let out a sigh of relief afterwords. Dash laughs. "You glad that's over?" he nods, wiping his brow. "That was the most nerve racking thing i've ever done" she nods. "Me too" they kiss again as they  fly to the grotto for some time alone. They sit there together and watch the rain fall like they did on that one night.
