Chapter 29: Dragon Dad

In the Sheriff Station, The Mane 6 are playing with Sparky as he is swinging in a bucket with hoof cuffs on a lamp to stabilize it as Izzy pushes Sparky to swing while the rest of the girls smile at the cute baby dragon as Sparky cheered in joy as Zipp begins to swing Sparky next, though a little too hard at the swinging when she hit the bucket.

Hitch watches from his desk as he keeps a close eye on Sparky, being overprotective to that dragon, he worries, and grows even more worried when he sees a tiny crack at the chain of the cuffs. Hitch gasped in panic when he saw that. “Ponies stop! The hoof cuffs are about to…” He was cut off when Zipp hit’s Sparky’s bucket so hard, the hoof cuff snapped and shot Sparky into the air, with the girls looking in shock and Zipp surprised at her strength as Hitch shrieked in panic and trotted off to catch his dragon.

Sparky cheered at the excitement as his bucket fell down as Hitch cried out as he flopped to the floor as he caught Sparky, but then he skied through the floor as he hit a table cabinet with a fruit bowl on top, and then a pineapple landed on Hitch’s head. “Great.” Hitch groaned, glad that Sparky is okay but really annoyed that he got fruit. Sparky licked some pineapple content off Hitch's head as he cheered at the taste, with Hitch sighing at this outcome.

Hitch gets up from the floor as he shakes the pineapple off his head as he holds Sparky in his hooves. “Right. That’s it. You ponies obviously need a refresher on the ‘Three S’es of Successful Pony Parenting’.” Hitch said to the group as he put down Sparky.

“The Three S’es?” Sunny asked as she and the others were confused on what Hitch meant.

Hitch looks at them in disbelief but then realizes that he just made up the new rules as he tries to think of it carefully as he smiles nervously at them. “Ptss. Uh.” He then gives out a nervous laugh. “You know. Um… Uh… My foolproof system for perfect dragon parenting!” He quickly says as he thinks of the rules while Sparky is waddling around with the bucket on his head. “Uh… Number one: Keep them safe! Yeah.”  Hitch said as he placed a billow on the side of his desk in front of Sparky before he hit it, which flob the dragon on the ground from the sudden soft impact. “Number two: No snacks!” Hitch cried out as he wrapped the entire snacks in a cloth from the table and started shredding them on the shredder.

Izzy gasped at the shredded snacks as she smiled. “Spaghetti snacks!” She said with a smile as Sunset shook her head at Hitch overthinking things, again.

Hitch turned to his friends again for the last S rule. “And three: Never let them out of your sight! Wait where’d he go?” Hitch asks as he looks around and doesn’t see Sparky as he begins to grow worried. “Sparky? Sparky?” He called out to him as he began to worry.

The girls are looking at him strangely at what they saw as Zipp chuckled at Hitch as she pointed to his head. “Up top, Sheriff.” She said to Hitch.

Hitch looks up where Zipp is pointing and sees Sparky on top of his head. “Yah!” Sparky cheered with the wave of his paws.

“I know!” Hitch quickly said with an embarrassing smile, clearly needed to focus on that third rule of the S’es. “That was, uh… a test.” He then chuckled sheepishly. “And you passed.” He said with a sheepish smile.

Sunset rolled her eyes at Hitch’s overthinking things as she spoke. “Hitch, don’t you think you are overthinking this and being overprotective, again.” She said with a bored tone.

“I don’t overthink things, Sunset. I’m just trying to keep Sparky safe.” Hitch said stubbornly, but a look at Sunset said otherwise. “Oh, c’mon. When was the last time I overthink things?” He asked her.

“That time when you think that Pegasi and Unicorns are bad news.” Sunset listed with an amusing expression, reminding him of the time he was scared of the other tribes.

Hitch blinked at the mention of that as he spoke again. “Okay. Good point. But name another one.” He said to Sunset to add another one.

“That time when you made every Earth Pony, including Sunny, from using their magic that it backfired.” Sunset listed out while crossing her hooves. “Your rashed the decisions that you nearly separated the crystals that would’ve cost us everything we worked hard for and jumping to conclusions that Earth Pony magic is dangerous, which is not if you practice them instead of holding it in, the time when you and Sunny switched Cutie Marks to see if each other roles are that hard or not, and that time when Sparky gone missing, you’ve gone overboard with your protective side for him that you were jumping conclusions to other ponies when we found him after you calmed down.” She finished the list of how Hitch kept overthinking things of recent events that had occurred.

Hitch blinked in surprise as he turned to the other girls as they nodded in agreement with Sunset as Hitch usually overthink these things. Hitch chuckled sheepishly at those reminders of his screw ups. “Okay. I see your point, Sunset.” He admittedly said with a chuckle. “But this time is different, because I’m just trying to look after Sparky. So this time, these three rules are for this baby dragon for us to follow.” He said, as he is just saying the rules on how to look after Sparky and keep him safe, not the rules that everypony could follow like the rules he made for Maretime Bay.

Outside the station, Misty is walking by as she stops and sees a window open, curiosite on what is going on in the station. 

Back in the station, Sparky giggled a bit, but then stopped as he felt a burp coming up, and with that burp came his magic dragon fire as he burped it out the window.

“Whoa!” Misty cried out as he ducked from Sparky’s dragon fire as it flew over her from out of the window. Misty got back up as she saw where the dragon fire shot off to. “Wait a second.” She said to herself as she placed a hoof on her chin, having seen that before. “That looked like dragon fire?!” She called out with wide eyes in realization as she saw that before when she had Sparky to get a piece of his dragon fire to Opaline to restore her magic.

 And then Misty’s medallion, that Opaline gave to her to stay in contact and to help her find other magic sources that will help restore Opaline’s magic, then opened up as it glows and floated as it pointed to the open window of the station as Misty peek through it as she watches what is happening as she sees Sparky on Hitch’s head as Hitch panicked as Sparky kept shooting his dragon fire as Hitch tries to get Sparky to stop. 

Misty saw this as she brought out her notebook and wrote down what she saw. “If I can get some juicy intel on Sparky’s Dragon Fire, maybe Opaline will finally stop talking about it.” She said in an annoying look as she has flashbacked on how many times Opaline kept mentioning Sparky’s dragon fire.







Flashback:

The flashback then showed Opaline shaking Misty, who was growing dizzy as Opaline kept shaking her. “Get me that dragon fire!” She demands Misty to get more dragon fire to get more magic as Misty gives a scared look at Opaline’s outburst.

The next flashback showed Opaline showing Misty the diagram, with a candle on her hoof, as she turned with a mischievous smile. “With dragon fire, I’ll be the most powerful Fire Alicorn of all time!” She announced as she evilly smiled as Misty looked on with a nervous smile as she nervously nodded her head to Opaline as she looked around.

The next flashback just showed Opaline taking a nap on her throne straight up with a hoof on her cheek. “Dragon…” She said as she snored. “Fire…” She snored again as she was half awake as she turned to the other side with her other hoof touching her cheek as Misty gives a worried look at Opaline as she is so obsessed with dragon fire.

End of Flashback:







Misty ended her flashback with a strange look at Opaline obsessing with dragon fire as she focused her attention back to the station as she observed Sparky and the Mane 6 to keep notes of what she saw as she wrote her notebook down.

In the station, Hitch then gives a determined look as he walks in front of the girls as he speaks with Misty peeking through the window without the Mane 6 knowing.

“The station is danger-proof from head to hoof! Hey that rhymed.” Hitch said with a small smile, finding a rhyme in his sentence, while also saying that this station is the safest place from danger.
 
“Oh!” Sunny said with realization as Izzy nodded. “Like putting those safety locks on cover doors.” She said while pointing to said cover door with a safety lock on it.

Hitch then spoke next. “Uh. Try a six-point laser triggered alarm system.” He stated, getting that Sunny understood safety measures as he brought out a red button in his hoof as he pressed it and then two laser stands that made six lasers in front of the cover door appeared.

Izzy ran to it as she touched the laser with one of her hoof’s, which caused the alarm to go off as the station glowed red as well. Izzy is amazed at this as she stops touching the laser, but then of course Izzy places her hoof back to the laser as she touches it again and again as the alarm goes off with each touch because of Izzy’s playful side. Sunny came close to Izzy as she shook a pair of keys in front of her, which got Izzy’s attention as she stopped touching the laser as Sunny walked backwards as Izzy hops after the keys like she was some pet.

Hitch sighs at Izzy’s personality as he should’ve seen that coming. Behind him, Sparky is playfully chopping a carrot with a knife at a fast pace. Hitch turned and saw this as he gasped and then ran to Sparky as he snatched the knife out of his paws. “And there’s sharp objects.” He nervously said after seeing Sparky holding it as he put it in his tool box and locked it in a safe. “Always keep them locked safely away.” He said to put the safe in a bigger safe with a hoof scanner and locked it in the cage. “And under constant watch!” He cried out as he got his animal crew, with cop hats on their heads, out of a wall door as they saluted Hitch and hopped down to the floor as they walked back and forth while guarding the safe.

Zipp gives a strange look at Hitch’s overdoing things while Pipp smiles strangely at him as Pipp spoke with a nod. “Hmm. Nice and simple.” She said to Hitch’s ‘nice and simple’ safety lessons.

Hitch then appeared between the two sisters as it startled Zipp and Pipp at his sudden appearance. “Lastly, make sure you cushion all the hard corners and edges.” He said as he placed bubble wraps on every hard corner and edges in the station, even his framed on the wall as well, the map and some hard edges objects in the station, even wrapped Sparky in bubble wrap for safety. “See! No risk of harm whatsoever.” He said to the girls as he started to sweat under pressure.

Sparky jumped up and down while trapped in his bubble wrap, and then tripped to the floor, which caused his dragon fire to come out again. Sparky’s dragon fire hit a stabler behind Zipp, who dodge the dragon fire as the stabler turned into a gag wind up teeth as it bit Zipp’s tail as she cringed in pain.

“OW!” Zipp cried out in pain as she felt her tail being bitten from the gag of teeth.

Sunset then gives a bore expression to Hitch. “But can those rules tell us how to handle sudden magic dragon fire Sparky kept releasing?” She asked rhetorically to Hitch that Sparky kept releasing his dragon fire lately as she walked to Zipp and got the gag out of her tail, with Zipp sighing in relief at the pain now gone.

Hitch laughed nervously at that. “I’m still trying to figure out how to handle Sparky’s sudden dragon fire.” He sheepishly said with a sheepishly smile, still trying to figure out how to handle Sparky’s dragon fire.

Outside the station, Misty kept watching as she wrote down what she saw on her notebook with an awed expression.

“Whoa! No wonder Opaline wants that dragon fire. It’s so powerful!” Misty said in amazement as she wrote it down, now understanding why Opaline is so obsessed with Sparky's dragon fire. And then Misty ducked “Yikes!” She screams as her pen is tossed into the air as she ducked another one of Sparky’s dragon fire, which hit her pen as it turned into a green mini guitar, which Misty caught as she stared in shock at what Sparky’s dragon fire is capable of.







Sometime later, the Mane 6 are walking through Maretime Bay with Hitch holding Sparky on a child leash so that he won’t go far.

Hitch spoke to the girls as he continued his lesson. “Now Mane Street is the best practice for what I call ‘snack resistance’ training.” He said to the girls as a Earth Pony stallion, who is pulling a cart with cotton candy, is passing by them. “Sparky needs to be able to---!” He cried out in surprise as once Sparky saw those cotton candy, he rushed off after them as Hitch is dragged along with the leash attached to his hoof as Sparky drags Hitch along with his surprise dragon strength as the girls watch on with surprises looking at Sparky’s strength.

“Okay. That dragon is full of surprises, and Hitch is not having better luck today.” Sunset said at the karma Hitch is getting late and Sparky surprised him again as he somehow dragged Hitch without any problem as the girls nodded in agreement with Sunset.

Hitch screamed as Sparky dragged him while trying to get the cotton candy as they moved past ponies on the sidewalk, then Sparky ran past some bushes, with Hitch hitting them while being dragged.

Misty is hiding in a trash can to get more intel on Sparky’s dragon fire without being noticed. But then Sparky starts running towards her at high speed with Hitch being dragged as he screamed with a bush on his head so he can’t see. Misty looked on in shock as Sparky hit Misty’s trash can as it was tossed into the air. Misty crashed back to the floor with a thud, with the trash can landed on her head from the crash.

Hitch continued to scream with the bush on his head, but luckily it didn’t last long until he came to a stop.  Hitch shook the bush off his head, which made his mane mess up from the rush and bush, as he got his sight back. But then Sparky starts rushing off again pass the bead bush, with Hitch screaming again, then got hit by a pole, that Sparky circled around, as they came to a stop with Hitch sweating in exhausting from Sparky rush as stopped right by the girls, with Sparky carrying a giant cotton candy he got from the stand.

Hitch chuckled nervously as he continued where he left off with the girls as a cake cart walked past them. “As I was saying. He needs to be able to…!” He cried out again as Sparky saw the cakes and ran to it, dragging Hitch along again as the girls watched on.

“It might be a while for Hitch to get back.” Sunset said, seeing that if Sparky keeps seeing sweets that he loved with his sweet tooth, he will keep racing to it and dragging Hitch along. The girls nodded their heads in agreement, knowing it might be a while for Hitch and Sparky to get back.







Sometime later, Sparky carried a cake as he giggled while Hitch flop on the floor, looking very tired with his mane all messy from Sparky’s dragging as he took a breath while Sparky place the cake on a pile of treats and snacks he grab after seeing them as the girls watches in amazement and shock at what just occurred.

Hitch got up, looking tired as he looked at his friends. “It's a learning curve.” He said tiredly, trying to cover up his embarrassment at what just happened.

Izzy pops up from the pile of snacks as she is eating a cupcake with a smile. “This learning curve tastes like blueberries.” She said as she ate the blueberry cupcake whole, not seeing what Hitch meant.

“You think you would remember Sparky’s surprise dragon strength by now, Hitch.” Sunset said with a raised eyebrow that Hitch forgot about Sparky’s strength.

“Yeah. I keep forgetting that half the time.” Hitch admittedly said, seeing that he keeps forgetting how strong Sparky is, even as a baby dragon.

Then Sunny, Sunset, Zipp and Pipp give out panicked expressions at what they saw next. “Um, Hitch, what did you say the third ‘S' was?” Sunny asked nervously while asking what the third rule of the ‘S’ word was again nervously.

“Never let them out of your sight.” Hitch said with a smile. But when he saw Sunset and Sunny pointing to the leash quietly while looking nervous, Hitch turned and panicked when he saw Sparky’s child leash was there, but Sparky was not on it as he grabbed it. “Ah! Where’s he gone! Where’s Sparky?! We have to find him!” He cried out in panic as he turned to his friends. “Izzy, check the beach!” He pointed to Izzy, who saluted him in response as Hitch then got between Sunny and Zipp. “Zipp, be our eyes in the sky!” He said to Zipp as she flew into the air as Hitch turned to Sunny. “Sunny, you… uh… skate around until you find him!” He said, running out of ideas, as Sunny nodded her head with a determined smile. “And Sunset…” Hitch said while looking at Sunset.

“Search the place Sparky went missing the first time and then check around Maretime Bay until we find him.” Sunset said with a knowing look.

“Yep!” Hitch called out as the Mane 6 spread out to find Sparky, wherever he may be.







At the beach, Izzy is using her detector to find Sparky. With Misty spying on her while hiding behind a rock.

Izzy’s detector goes off as it blinks red as it finds Sparky’s footbrings. Izzy smiled excitedly as she found a clue to find Sparky as she trotted off at high speed, which made the sand to blew off the ground and onto Misty, who coughs at the sand in her mouth and on her.







In the sky, Zipp is wearing her Z-Goggles as she is scanning an area in Maretime Bay for Sparky in Thermal mode.

Zipp searches around until she sees Mane Melody, and then spots Sparky cheerfully running to Mane Melody as he enters the building. Which made Zipp gasp as she found Sparky as she quickly contact her sister, who is the closest to Mane Melody to tell her where Sparky is.







Inside Mane Melody, Sparky is playing around with some of Pipp’s makeover supplies as he places some shampoo bottles and shows the blue, pink and yellow bubbles on his head as he made a mess as he giggled.

Pipp came rushing in with a pant, having to rush herself to Mane Melody as Jazz is startled by Pipp’s sudden appearance as Pipp looked around for Sparky, and turned to Jazz and shook her a bit, unknowingly to the two ponies, Sparky came behind them and out the door with a yellow mane wig on his head as Jazz rush out of Pipp’s sight, little scared at Pipp’s reaction right now as Pipp looked around for Sparky, and then step on a bottle as it squired some yellow content.

Misty is reading a magazine in Mane Melody while sitting in a chair, while spying on the girls movement, as she saw the yellow content hit her on her mane, which caused her mane to get poofy in the process as Misty looked in shock at her poofy up mane.







Somewhere else in Maretime Bay, Sunny is skating around while playing Missing Posters of Sparky for anypony to find him.

What Sunny didn’t know, Sparky was behind her as he giggled and folded up one of the posters into a paper airplane as he launched it away, before doing it again to the other one as he launched as well with giggles.

Behind Sparky is Misty, who is looking really exhausted from what has been happening to her today as she has three paper airplanes from Sparky’s previous ones earlier on her poofy mane. Misty gasped as she saw another one coming as she tries to shoo it away, to prevent more paper airplanes from coming to her hair, as she trip over the railing and fall of the cliff side of it, hanging onto a branch to keep her from falling into the ocean.







Somewhere else in Maretime Bay, Sunset is searching for Sparky as she already checked the last place he was in when he went missing as she groans in frustration.

“How can one little baby dragon hide so well?” Sunset asked herself. “If this is how Twilight took care of Spike when he hatched from his egg, I gotta say, she took care of Spike well.” She said, while remembering when Twilight told her how she took care of Spike after adopting him into the family. 

“Think, Sunset, think.” Sunset said to herself as she thought of a way to get Sparky’s attention. “Sparky is a baby dragon. And he’s a curious one as well, so if the dragon's ways haven’t changed in the last generations, then the best way to draw a dragon's attention is to attract it with a treat.” She said while remembering how dragons are in the dragon lands and some pointers from Twilight and Spike. “And a treat to a dragon is… Gems and Rubies!” She said while widen her eyes in realization, remembering that dragons have a knack for gems and rubies since it was their favorite treat. Sunset then uses her magic to summon a fake fire ruby, which looks real enough to fool a baby dragon. “Here Sparky! Come here! I got you a delicious fire ruby for you!” Sunset called out with a smile while waving the fake fire ruby in her hooves. She didn’t have to wait long as Sparky came rushing towards her, giggling. “Sparky!” Sunset called out in relief as she got Sparky into her hooves as she hugged him, and made the fake fire ruby disappear as a result as Sunset holds Sparky tight so he won’t get away. “Glad you’re okay, Sparky.” She said to the baby dragon with a comforting smile.

Sparky giggled and cooed at Sunset while waving his arms, and a little sad that he didn’t get a fire ruby.

Sunset chuckled at Sparky cuteness. “Come on. I’ll tell the others too…” She stopped for a second, seeing how overthinking and too much control Hitch is lately as she smirked to herself. “On second thought, why don’t we head back to the station and surprise the others. We can have some snacks, real snacks while we wait, Sparky.” She said to the baby dragon with a smirk, going to let Hitch learn his lesson the hard way to let him know how he keeps overthinking things and being out of control lately on how to take care of Sparky if he wants the other s to know that they can take care of Sparky and how to keep him safe if he’s not around.

Sparky laughed at Sunset, agreeing with her and wanting some snacks as well.

“Come on, you little dragon you, let's get back to the station.” Sunset said with a chuckle as she and Sparky walked back to the station where they will wait for the others.







Meanwhile back at the station, the five of the Mane 6 returned after having no signs of Sparky anywhere, where Sunset is waiting for them while hiding Sparky, as Hitch starts having a breakdown.

“I can’t even look after one little baby dragon!” Hitch cried out over Sparky missing as he flopped to the floor as the girls gave him sympathetic looks as Hitch started to tear up.

Sunset then smirked as Hitch finally learned his lesson at how he’s been acting lately as she spoke. “You don’t have to worry anymore, Hitch.” She said with a smirk.

“What are you talking about, Sunset?” Hitch said in a sad tone, not knowing what she meant.

Sunset said nothing as she kept smirking and then clapped her hooves, which caused a dragon fire to shoot over Hitch, which startled him as he got up and saw that dragon fire hit his tail. He looked at Sunset with a surprised look as she pointed to one of Hitch’s plants, which started to rattled a bit before Sparky came out as he took a breath.

“Sparky!” Hitch called out in relief as he ran towards his baby dragon. “Oh, thank hoofness!” He took a breath as he grabbed Sparky in his hoof and nuzzled him before placing him back down. “I was so worried! I thought you might have fallen into the sea or baked into a pie or eaten by bees or…!” He cried out dramatically while listening out the possibilities of what would’ve happened to Sparky.

Izzy then came in front of Hitch with a comforting smile while holding a bunnycorn right in front of him. “Look at the bunnycorn, Hitch. Look at the bunnycorn.” She said to Hitch as he looked at the bunnycorn. Once Hitch looked at the bunnycorn, smiled cutely at him as it blinked at him twice. That cuteness made Hitch calm down as he took a deep breath. “There we are.” She said to Hitch with a calm smile.

Sunny then thought of something. “Wait a minute. Sunset, how did you know Sparky was there?” She asked Sunset, wanting to know how she knew Sparky was there.

“I brought him here after I found him.” Sunset answered, which made the group wide eyes, but before they could speak, Sunset spoke before them. “And I know what you guys are gonna ask, and the only reason I never told you ponies is because Hitch needs to learn his lesson on how he’s been acting all day. I mean come on, even you girls notice it too and it was making us nuts.” She said to them.

The girls then thought of what Sunset said as they nodded and spoke in agreement, seeing that Hitch was overthinking things again as they turned to Hitch with a knowing look on their faces.

Hitch sees things and realizes Sunset is right as he took a breath before speaking. “I’m sorry everyponies. I just…” He apologized to them on how he’s been acting and then screamed a bit in a sad tone before speaking. “Aahhh. All I want is to be a great dragon dad.” He said as his voice started to crack as he held Sparky, who is smiling cutely at him, in his hoof.

The girls smiled at Hitch as Sunny spoke with a smile as she walked towards him. “Hitch. You are a great dragon dad.” She said as she placed a hoof on his shoulder before looking at Sparky. “Just look at how much you cared about Sparky.” She pointed out as the rest of the girls huddled close to him. “But honestly, I think you can relax a little bit.” She added, stating that Hitch needs to relax a bit while not overdoing things.

“She’s right, Hitch.” Sunset said with a smile. “While we understand how much you cared about Sparky, you need to know that you don’t have to be overprotective of him that much. Sparky is a baby dragon after all, so there’s no need to go overboard and be that protective to him, you can still be protective to him, but not too much. Don’t go overboard on overthinking these things. And just have fun with Sparky instead of keeping him safe all the time, let him have his fun.” She said with her wisdom on how to take care of a baby dragon, having heard on how to do that from Twilight and how Baby Dragon Hatching Season that Fluttershy, Spike and Smolder took to in the dragon lands and how Twilight babysat Flurry Heart taught her how to take care of young creatures.

Outside of the station, Misty crawled to the open window again as she groaned exhaustively at what has happened to her today with her mane still poofy and having paper airplanes on it while spying on the Mane 6 all day.

“Sunny and Sunset are right.” Zipp said next as she spoke to Hitch with a smile. “Sparky might be a baby, but he’s made of pretty tough stuff.” She said while giving Sparky a belly rub, which caused the baby dragon to laugh, as Hitch smiled at Sparky, now understanding what his friends are saying, but then Sparky began to puff up, and Hitch knows what that means.

Once Misty tried to get a close peak at the window, she was then hit by one of Sparky’s dragon fire, which caused her mane to turn into a flower. That did it as Misty fainted from that, having endured enough punishment for one day.

In the station, the Mane 6 starred in shocked at Sparky’s surprise dragon fire as Sparky puff some out of his mouth.

“And maybe we should find a way to get Sparky’s sudden dragon fire attacks under control while we’re at it.” Sunset suggested, which caused the rest of them to nod their heads in agreement, going to have to figure out that issue.

Hitch then smiled as he spoke to his friends. “Thanks everypony.” He said as he placed Sparky down. “And you’re right. I need to be less controlling.” He said in a guilt town on how much of a control freak he’s been acting. “And Sunset. I shouldn't have told you guys on how to take care of Sparky. After seeing how you took care of him after you hid him for me to learn that lesson, I guess I was overthinking things again.” He apologizes to Sunset and his friends for how he’s been.

“That’s okay, Hitch. You were just looking after Sparky. Just tried to be less protective the next time this happened, okay?” Sunset started with a smile, accepting Hitch’s apology of how overstressed he was and being a control freak, she understands what he's going through.

“Yeah. I guess you’re right.” Hitch said as he continued. “Hey Sparky, I’m sorry I was so…” He stopped once he and the girls realized that Sparky is missing again. “Sparky?” Hitch called out again as the Mane 6 looked around for any sign of Sparky.

“Now where’d he go?” Sunset asked, surprised at how sneaky Sparky is for a baby dragon.

It didn’t take long for the Mane 6 to look out the window and saw Sparky rolling a giant ball of bubble wrap, which he wrapped together from Hitch’s office, across, which the Mane 6 surprised and worried for Sparky.

“SPARKY, NO!” The Mane 6 cried out in unison as Sparky continued to roll the bubble wrap ball across Maretime Bay for more fun.

“After that dragon!” Sunset cried out as she and others ran off to catch Sparky before he did anything else.

End of Chapter 29.
