Plot
20 years after the events of The Ending of the End, an older Team Sonic and Princesses of Harmony (along with Spike and Dr. Eggman) are visited by one of their students named Luster Dawn and the newest member of the Freedom Fighters named Rhythm the Chinchilla, who do not understand the importance of friendship. Princess Twilight tells them a story of how she and her friends was once worried of losing her friendships. Flashing back to their coronation day, the Mane Nine make preparations to move back to Canterlot with Spike but all nine of them worried that this will result in them and Team Sonic drifting apart. Sonic and his friends seem more welcoming of this change however and focus more on the final preparations for their ceremony. Once both groups are together, the Mane Nine grows frustrated and tell Team Sonc that they feel like they care more about making their coronation perfect than the fact that they will be leaving Ponyville.

Team Sonic reveal to the Mane Nine that they do share their concerns and are keeping themselves busy so they won't be sad about it either. They let out their feelings and cry together, which makes the nine alicorn princesses feel better, knowing that their mobian friends feel the same way. The Jewel Pixie Animals then offer to help finish the preparations for the coronation, and Team Sonic and the Mane Nine almost miss the train to Canterlot. The Princesses of Harmony make it just in time for their coronation, which goes off without a hitch. After the ceremony ends, Team Sonic and the Mane Nine share a laugh about their past adventures. The Mane Nine decide to establish a Council of Friendship so they can maintain their relationships with Team Sonic by convening once every moon. Afterward, Celestia and Luna retire to Silver Shoals. Back in the future, Twilight finishes her story and explains to Luster Dawn and Rhythm that friendships can be hard to maintain, but life is even harder without them. The Jewel Pixie Animals enter, now older, still friends with the heroes, who now rule Equestria as the Council. Luster Dawn and Rhythm take our heroes' wisdom to heart and Sonic and Twilight send Luster and Rhythm to Ponyville, where they begin to make friends with the other creatures there and have adventures of her own.

Differences

 * Because of their role as alicorn princesses in the Sonic: Adventures in Equestria universe, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Trixie, Starlight, and Sunset also have taller statures and flowing manes and tails like Celestia and Luna before them, as such, they all appear with Twilight in the beginning of the episode, as do Team Sonic.
 * The coronation goes off without any problems, thanks to the Jewel Pixie Animals finishing the prepartations for their owners.
