Chapter 10: Sunny-Day Dinners

Chapter 10: Sunny-Day Dinners

Sunny and Sunset are in the kitchen, making breakfast for their friends as Sunny was flipping the pancakes while Sunset is helping her out by working on some of the toasts as she used her magic to smear the butters on the toasts while also making orange juice, freshly squeeze as she put it in the juice contain as they put the last bits of breakfast on the table.

“And... Perfect!” Sunny cheers out as she and Sunset put the toasts, the last bit of pancakes and the orange juice on the table where there is a pile of pancakes, a basket of apples, some muffins, orange juice, some toast, an omelet with tomatoes on the side and some carrots as well. “Breakfast of champions!” Sunny cheered for both her and Sunset’s success.

“You really did a good job on this one, Sunny. And a nice breakfast setup, you really got skills.” Sunset congrats Sunny with a smile.

“Thanks, Sunset.” Sunny thanked with a smile. “And thanks for helping me. Everypony needs a hearty meal before a busy day.” She said with a smile.

“That’s true. Can’t start the day without a nice breakfast with the ponies close to us.” Sunset added as she and Sunny turned and looked upstairs.

“Ponies, family breakfast!” Sunny and Sunset both said unison.

Zipp then trotted towards them. “Sorry, Sunny, Sunset, gotta rush.” She apologized to the two ponies as she grabbed an apple, chomped on her mouth as she zoomed away to her daily routine, Sunny and Sunset looked on with a look.

"You know it IS pretty ironic that the fastest modern Pegasus in Equestria doesn't have time for a good breakfast." Sunset pointed out, finding it weird that for Zipp to be so fast, she can’t seem to have time for breakfast.

Sunny nodded in agreement before she and Sunset then heard humming sounds as they turned and smiled, seeing Izzy coming towards them while listening to music on some headphones.

Izzy then chomps on the pancakes as she takes a bite. “Mmm! Good pancakes, Sunny, Sunset!” She yelled out since she is listening to music, before putting the pancake piece she took a bite on back onto the pile of pancakes, as her saliva from her bite ooze down to the rest of the pancakes.

Sunny and Sunset cringe in disgust at that. “Yuck.” They both said unison, finding it gross that Izzy would take a bite out of something and then put it back.

“Do-do-do, do-do…” Izzy sang as she hummed away, listening to her music.

Then the front doors open as Sunny and Sunset saw Hitch running towards them in a panicked expression as he got in front of the two ponies.

“Hitch, what’s wrong?” Sunset asked, wondering why Hitch is panicking.

“They're doing it again with the garden tools!” Hitch frankly cried out as pointed to the outside, Sunny and Sunset both looked and see what is going on.


Outside, the Racconicorns are growling on a pile of garbage as they are levitation gardening pitch forks at a pegasus rat, who is holding a can of leftover food from the garbage. Which he took from the racconicorns as they aimed the pegasus rat with pitchforks. The pegasus rat was so afraid that he dropped the can in fright.


Sunny then brought out some pancakes to Hitch. “You can't deal with that on an empty stomach!” She told him with a smile, but she accidentally put the pancakes that Izzy bit on earlier on the stack as it oozed to the rest of the pancakes.

Sunset saw this and cringe in disgust. “Uh, Sunny. You may need to get rid of those stacks on top before it oozes to the rest of the pancakes.” She pointed out.

Sunny saw this as she sheepishly smiled. “Oh, whoops. Thanks for pointing that out, Sunset.” She thanks Sunset as she tosses the infected pancakes away before they infect the rest of the pancakes.

Hitch didn’t seem to notice as he was panicking. “There's no time!” He cried out.

Sunset saw this as she spoke out. “Look, I get it, wild animals with telekinesis CAN be troublesome enough where every second counts, but on the same token, you need all the energy you can get to do the job." She advises Hitch about this.

“No time for me to eat, Sunset! I gotta stop them before somepony gets hurt!” Hitch cried out as he galloped away to stop those critters from hurting anyone with the gardening tools and before they hurt that little pegasus rat.

“Uh, er--Good luck!” Sunny said with a smile, but a little hurt that her friends didn’t even stay for breakfast together.

Sunset saw this as she placed a hoof around Sunny, trying to comfort her. “It’s okay, Sunny. Maybe Pipp will join us.” She guessed that maybe Pipp will join them for breakfast. Sunset looked around for the Pegasus. “Where is she anyway? I haven’t seen her all morning.” She asks, wondering where Pipp is.

And then Sunny’s phone starts to vibrate on the kitchen counter as it showed Pipp calling on facetime as Sunny answered the call and picked up her phone for both her and Sunset to see.

“No.” Pipp said to somepony as it revealed that she is in Mane Melody as she spoke to the ponies while holding her phone as she cleared her voice. “Oh, excuse me.” She then starts laughing awkwardly. “Oh, sorry. Excuse-moi.” She apologized to some pony as she looked at her phone as she sighs before answering to Sunny and Sunset. “Can't be-lieve I missed your pancakes this morning, Sunny and Sunset!” She apologized to them for not being there for breakfast with them. “But Mane Melody is totes slammed, heh.” She told them that Mane Melody is having a busy day today, which is why she is not home. “Okay, later, bye.” She said to them as she blew a kiss to them.

“Laters, heh…” Sunny said to Pipp before ending the call while Sunny and Sunset looked at the picture Pipp took with them since the day finishing up the Brighthouse, Sunny looked on with a sad look. “Everyone is so busy, it feels like we're drifting apart.” She said with a sad tone as she looked down.

Sunset then put a comforting wing around Sunny. “I don't blame you for being frustrated, Sunny. You worked hard on this big breakfast for a bit of quality time and our friends are pretty busy. Still, considering how hard we are all working to reunify Equestria, it DOES seem pretty ironic. And you DO have a pretty good point about how we all have active enough lives to need a nice, big breakfast.” She said to her. “And besides, They’re still our friends, they’re all just a little busy.” She said, while she understood Sunny. “C’mon, let's go have breakfast together since the others are busy.”  She said as she guided Sunny to the table with the rest of the breakfast as they sat down and ate some breakfast together. As they ate, Sunset thinks that Sunny is gonna feel alone back to the point before their first adventure, Sunset thinks of a way to make Sunny happy, and then she thinks of something as she smiles. “Hey, Sunny. How about we go for a hike with our friends together, to make time for each other.”

Sunny smiled at Sunset’s idea. “Great idea, Sunset. And I know just the place for us to take a hike to, Prancing Point.” She said as Sunset smiled at Sunny’s suggestion. “It will be a perfect place for us to go on a hike together in the woods.” She said to Sunset, who smiled at the idea.

“That’s a great idea, Sunny.” Sunset replied. “But let me check the weather first. Last time we went camping, Hitch got us wet while lost in the woods.” She added, remembering the time Hitch got them lost in the woods. Sunny chuckled in agreement and wouldn't want to go hiking in bad weather. Sunset checked the weather patterns and checked her phone to look at the weather timeline, once she checked, she smiled. “We’re all clear for the hiking, Sunny.” She said to Sunny, who smiled at the good news.

“Great!” Sunny cheered as she brought out her phone. “Now let’s send a message to our friends so they would know about the hike.” She said as she turned on the camera on her phone as Sunset came closer to Sunny to get her face on camera as well. “Turn it arou--Ah hah! There we go!” She cheered as she turned the front camera on so that it was facing her and Sunset for them to record them. Hey, ponies! We know everypony's got a lot going on, but we can't forget to make time for each other.” She said to the recording with a smile.

“Which is why me and Sunny wanted to invite you guys for a hike.” Sunset added with a smile. “To make time for each other since we haven’t had much time lately.” She stated. 

“That’s right. So who's up for a hike to Prancing Point?” Sunny asks them.

“Don't forget!” Both Sunny and Sunset said unison as Sunny sent the video message to their friends.

Zipp’s icon with stars for eyes is the first to respond, with a hoof up, which might mean a yes for pony standards. Hitch’s icon responds next by sending a video of him dancing with joy with a confetti horn on the side, meaning yes, Pipp’s icon with heart for eyes as she sends a heart, meaning yes, and lastly Izzy’s icon pops up with a voicemail “GLITTER!”. Izzy’s voicemail announced cheerfully, clearly saying yes.

Sunny and Sunset smiled at their friends’ responses, glad that their friends are on board for the hike so they can spend time together.


A little while later, Sunny and Sunset are standing still in the woods, ready for the hike, but they have a down expressions when their friends are not here as the wind blows at them, clearly that their friends have forgotten about the hike.

“Ugh, they forgot.” Sunny groans in disappointment that their friends have forgotten about the hike.

“Okay, I know they would do anything for their friends, but they forgot about the hike? That’s not right, even for them.” Sunset added with a frown of frustration as she sighs. “But at least you aren’t alone, Sunny. You still got me for the hike."

Sunny sighs. “Yeah. Thanks, Sunset. But I was hoping that at least one of our friends hadn't forgotten about it.” She pointed out as she wished that at least one of their friends remembered. 

“Oh! Forgot what?” Both Sunny and Sunset turned and saw Izzy coming towards them with a cheery smile, and they saw that Izzy brought a rainbow cart, full of rocks for some reason, as both Sunny and Sunset smiled.

“Hey, Izzy. You're here.” Sunset said with a smile, glad that Izzy is here.

“Phew!” Sunny sighs as she smiles at Izzy.  “Ha, We thought nopony was coming. Aw, you're the only one who remembered, Izzy!” She said with a happy smile.

“Remembered?” Izzy asked on wha they are talking about with a hoof on her chin as she looked up, and then realize the hike from earlier, which cleared she forgotten all about it. “Oh! Yes, totally! Nothing slips out of this brain!” She laughed awkwardly as Sunny and Sunset looked at her strangely. “Nope, di-did not forget. Nooo way.” She finished as she whistled fakely, hoping that they would buy it.

“...And you brought a trailer full of rocks on the hike?” Sunny questions with a raised eyebrow as she and Sunset notice that Izzy brought a trailer with rocks in it.

Sunset then spoke out with an unamusing expression. “Izzy, I’ve seen Applejack try to make a lie. And personally, I always find hers and Rainbow Dash’s excuses to be a lot more convincing.” She told the unicorn, having the lying experienced from Rainbow and Applejack, to be a lot more convincing. “Just tell us the truth, Izzy. We’re not mad at you, just tell us.” Sunset assured the unicorn that they are not mad, but gotta be honest with them.

“Ooh…” Izzy said as she was sweating nervously but sighs as she drops the act. “They're gemstones. And okay, I did forget!” She cried out before she smiled with a sparkle in her eyes. “But I'm here now.”

Sunny and Sunset smiled at Izzy in forgiveness. “That’s all we need to hear, Izzy. At least you are here now.” Sunset said with a smile.

“And that's all that matters.” Sunny added with a smile as she placed a comforting hoof on Izzy’s shoulder before she led the way. “Prancing Point, here we come!” She announced as she, Sunset and Izzy hike through the woods as they smiled at each other and at the forest.

The three mares are chatting with each other as they laugh a bit as they walk up the path. The three ponies stopped as they saw a wooden arrow sign pointing down, which they blinked in confusion as they didn't know which two paths they should take, left or right for that matter. 

Trying to think of which path they should take, the three then smiled to each other as Sunny grabbed the sign and spin it around to guess which path they should take, when the arrow stop spinning, it pointed right, which cause the three to smile as they took the right side of the path as the sign tilted back down again as the three mares kept walking.


A little bit later, Izzy, Sunny and Sunset are frightened by the many eyes that are staring at them in all directions as Izzy laughs nervously while the three mares huddled together, realizing they have taken the wrong way as the eyes gave off ominous snarls at the three mares.

Izzy, Sunset, and Sunny start screaming with fright as they started running away from those creepy eyes, trying to find a way out of the forest while Sunset came in front of them for protection.


Back in Maretime Bay, Zipp is enjoying her flying in the sky as she then remembers something important as she gasps in realization.

In the police station, Hitch is twirling with the phone, and he smirks when he is doing great at it before he remembers something important as well as he gasps in realization as well.

In Mane Melody, Pipp is doing Phyllis Cloverleaf mane with the mane cutter as she then gasps in realization as she forgotten something, at the same time while cutting off a piece of Phyllis’ mane in the process but is too shocked to care as she forgot something important.

“D'oh! The hike!” Zipp, Pipp, and Hitch all gasp unison as they’ve forgotten about Sunny’s invite for the hike as they were so busy, they forgot about Sunny’s hike plans.


At the Crystal Brighthouse, Zipp, Hitch and Pipp opened the front door to see if Sunny and Sunset were still around.

“Sunny, w-we're, we're so sorry!” Hitch said but stopped as he and Zipp and Pipp looked with wide eyes as they saw that the Brighthouse was empty as Hitch looked around frantically. “...Sunny!? SUNNY!” He cried out as he began to freak out.

“Izzy and Sunset are not here either!” Pipp cried out in panic as she checked the kitchen. “Uh, well, maybe they're together?” She asked as she hoped those two were with Sunny. Knowing Sunset, she is always by Sunny's side and so is Izzy since they are the first non-earth ponies' friends that Sunny made at the start of their adventure.

“Let's hope so.” Zipp answered. “It's getting late, and they should've been back ages ago. Something's not right…” She thought as she rubbed her chin, knowing that  something is wrong since Sunny, Sunset and Izzy should’ve been back a while ago since they had never been gone that long.

Zipp and Pipp then sees Hitch is hyperventilating with a paper bag, worried about Sunny and her friends, as he is so worried that he is wearing a safety gear that he might use if Sunny or any of his friends are hurt.

Pipp and Zipp looked at each other strangely as they didn't know how Hitch put gear on that fast but knew that he was too worried out of his mind. “Don't worry, Hitch. We're, like, totally gonna find them!” Pipp tries to assure the worried sheriff, but Hitch continues to hyperventilate in the paper bag. Leaving Zipp and Pipp with worried looks that if they don’t find Sunny, Sunset and Izzy soon, Hitch is gonna have a panic attack even more.


At the brick of sunset, Hitch, Zipp and Pipp are trotting/flying through the words as they are trying to find their friends.

“Izzy!” Zipp called out, hoping they could hear them.

“SUNNY!” Hitch cried out in panic, really worried.

“Sunset!” Zipp cried out next as they looked through the forest.

If anypony could tell, it’s like trying to play a video game about mazes to find something as Zipp, Pipp, and Hitch are searching frantically through the forest, trying to find Sunny, Sunset and Izzy. But unknowingly, they keep passing each other in two different paths as latter three ponies are trying to find their way out while the former three are looking for their friends, they couldn’t tell that their friends are there because they are in two different paths while the two groups are trotting through the forest.


A little bit later, Sunny, Sunset and Izzy are exhausted from trying to find their way out of the woods, and they are wearing headbands while having some dirt, twigs and leaves on them from all the running about.

Izzy then heard twig cracks as she stopped, which caused her to stop her cart as it resulted in Sunset and Sunny to bump into the back of it.

“Oof--Izzy!” Sunny said to the unicorn, wondering why she stopped.

“What’s wrong? Did you see something?” Sunset asked in concern as she got in front of them for protection.

Izzy answered in a nervous stammering before she whispered to them, “Did you two hear that?” She asks the two ponies as she then gasps. “Something is out there. I can smell it.” She whispered as she narrowed her eyes through the trees and plants.

“Izzy, we didn’t hear anything.” Sunset said to assure the unicorn that they didn’t hear anything, which makes them safe that nothing is out there yet.

“It's just your imagination.” Sunny added with an assuring smile. “There's nothing out there--” She then stopped in midsection as she and Sunset heard a thump as Sunset came in front of them while Sunny came next to Izzy. “We heard that. Come on, let's... go the other way.” She suggested that as they are walking backwards in freight.

“Okay, so maybe we DID take a wrong turn.” Sunset admitted as she stood in front of Sunny and Izzy using herself as a shield to protect her friends. “Still, don't panic. I'm pretty sure I can handle most of the things this forest can throw at us. I helped out against a massive mecha and I have experience against the Dazzlings and Gaea Everfree, among other major ‘threats’ that I have dealt with over the years.” She pointed out her experience while fighting any enemies she and the Rainboom’s faced while dealing with Equestrian Magic and some enemies from Equestria as well as the three ponies continued to walk backwards in freight as Sunset lit her horn in preparation to strike in defense with Sunny and Izzy staying close to her.

Unknowingly to them, Zipp, Hitch and Pipp are walking backwards as well in freight and have gotten lost in the forest as well in their search for Sunny, Sunset and Izzy as the forest starts to scare them as well.

The two groups of three ponies then walked backwards as they didn’t realize that they were about to bump into each other as they hit each other's flanks. Which results in all of them screaming in freight and Sunset shooting out her magic in the air on instincts as birds started fluttering away from the loud freighting screams and trying to stay clear from Sunset’s magic blasts.

“Not the face!” Pipp cried out in fear, hoping that her face wouldn’t get hurt if they were attacked by a strange animal in the woods.

They soon got their bearings as the two groups looked and saw each other as they all gave out relieved smiles. “Guys!/Girls!” Both groups said at the same time as they hugged each other in relief that Zipp, Hitch and Pipp found the girls while Sunny, Sunset and Izzy are relieved that their friends are with them.


It was then dark as the Mane 6, after getting Sunny, Sunset and Izzy cleaned up from the dirt and twigs they had, set up camp on the hill for the night with the fire lit so they could find their way back home in the morning, but as long as they are together, they have nothing to worry about.

“Hitch, I'm telling you. This is the fastest way home!” Zipp said to Hitch as she showed him the map to see the fastest path back to Maretime Bay.

“Agree to disagree.” Hitch disagreed with Zipp’s suggestion with his hooves crossed adn eyes closed that the path Zipp picked is the fastest way home as Zipp narrowed her eyes in annoyance from Hitch’s picky directions.

“I think you should look closely at the map, Hitch. Just to be sure your sense of direction doesn’t get us more lost like last time.” Sunset advice to the sheriff who chuckled sheepishly at the reminder as he took a closer look at the map with Zipp to be sure they found the right path back to Maretime Bay.

Pipp then nervously giggled as she looked out to the night sky. “It's kinda spooky out here, right?” She asks them as a rat pegasus screeches as it flies over her head as Pipp screams and ducks as it flies by before she starts laughing. “I love it.” She said with a smile and sparkles in her eyes, now liking this experience.

Izzy is now rapping a song. Levitate your hooves in the air, earth ponies don't clean their underwear.” She then stopped as she looked beside her as she gasped with a smile as she saw a bunnycorn with a gold bit that it is giving Izzy.

The others looked at Izzy strangely, finding her rapping lyrics weird. Zipp then broke the silence as she spoke. “Uhh, Izzy? I think it might be time for some new lyrics.” She told the unicorn as Izzy looked at them as she bit on the gold bit to see if it was real or not as she blinked two times at them.

Pipp, Zipp, and Hitch then started to laugh at Izzy’s expression as Sunset and Sunny looked at them with joyful smiles as they looked up to the night sky as they saw the stars and then saw a shooting star passing by.

“See? This is all we wanted. Good old-fashioned quality time.” Sunny said as she inhaled the moment. 

“Yeah.” Sunset spoke as she said to all of them. “Guys, I know you were all so busy with your busy days, but you completely forgot to spend time together and you forgot about the plans we made like the hike for example.” She said as the group looked down before continuing. “Now, we are not mad. But to understand, Sunny was worried that she might be alone again before we reunited the tribes. I mean, think about it, besides Hitch here, we are the first non-earth ponies to be friends with Sunny since the start of our adventure and reuniting the three tribes, and Sunny only has me with her since I feel the same way because all of you are my new friends and family since I returned to Equestria when all of my old friends are gone.” She told them the reason why they planned this hike as the others now looked at them with understanding looks, feeling bad for leaving them behind when they were doing their own things. Sunset then sighs as she smiles. “I know you all feel bad for forgetting about the hike, but it’s better late than never now that all of you are here. Besides, what Twilight would say, that even if your friends are busy, it doesn't mean that you will be alone, as they always make time with you, no matter how busy they are.” She told them the lesson Twilight said to her about the time she and her friends were having a hard time to balance each other's busy schedules so that they can have enough time with each other’s and the time when Spike was having so much time with a griffin named Gabby, that he didn’t have time for Rarity, which results Rarity thinking she was losing Spike to Gabby as she tried to split them up with the things he liked which ended badly but fix the mess she made as she reconcile Spike and Gabby friendship, and Spike learned that he will always have his ‘Rarity Time’ every now and then.

The others smiled at Sunset words of wisdom as Sunny spoke out. “Thanks for the wisdom, Sunset. It really is great to know all of these lessons.” She said with a smile.

“And we are really sorry that we forgot all about the hiking, Sunny.” Hitch apologized first with a smile. “We were so distracted from all the things we’ve been doing, we forgot about the hike you planned with.” He added.

“And we’re sorry we didn’t stick around for breakfast. We were just in a rush to get started with our day; we didn’t stop to think.” Zipp said with an apologetic tone, and a little sheepishly that even in her fast pace, she didn’t slow down to enjoy the time with her friends from time to time.

Sunny smiled at her friends' apologies as she spoke to them. “That’s okay, guys. As long as we’re together, we will always have time for each other.” She said to them as she inhaled a breath. “Now. Let's eat!” She announced to them as they were about to eat the carrots on the sticks that they had roasted from the fire as her friends smiled at her.

Pipp then spoke out. “Instead of Sunday dinners, we have Sunny-day dinners!” She said as she laughed as she sticks a carrot to her stick. “Get it? Do you ge--” She asks them as she clears her throat with a smile. “Totally a thing though.” She said as she liked the name, which her friends smiled at liking the name.

“That's it! I got it!” Izzy announced with a smile as she clears her throat and started rapping again as she found the right lyrics. “Raise your hooves up high and bring together all ponykind!” She sang as she raised her hooves high with a smile.

The rest of the Mane 6 smiled at Izzy, starting to like her new lyrics as they raised their carrots sticks high as they sang together. “Hey! Ho! Hey! Ho! Hey! Ho!” They all sang together as they spent time with each other as they enjoyed the rest of the night.

End of Chapter 10.
