In Downtown City, we see Blythe coming in with a comic book called “When Ponies Meet Humans”. Apparently, she’s a big comic book fanatic. She shows it to the pets and Mrs. Twombly and tells them she won it in a contest at Downtown City’s Comic Book Convention.
“What do you have there, Blythe?” asked Mrs. Twombly.
“I have this comic book called ‘Power Pet Patrol Meets the Power Ponies’. It’s all about a girl, a motherly person, and her pet friends who get sucked into a comic book world and become superheroes. There, they meet ponies and a baby dragon, who also have a similar situation about getting sucked into a comic book world and becoming a superhero team known as the Power Ponies and their sidekick Humdrum. They get sucked into a pony-based version of Downtown City, called Maretropolis, where they become a joint superhero team. The woman, five of the six Power Ponies, and all of the pets gets captured, except for the mongoose and the Saddle Rager, and now the girl, the mongoose, the baby dragon, and Saddle Rager have to rescue them from the Mane-iac and the twin girls who look like the Biskit twins. Thank goodness they’re not actual super villains.” Blythe said, feeling hopeful.
“Me too, Blythe. In any case, I like superhero comics. They all have superheroes who are great role models because they fight for the greater good” Penny Ling explains.
“I may be a diva, but I like stories with adventure and friendship.” exclaimed Zoe.
“I like pretending to be a superhero. But I wonder what it would be like to be a real superhero?” said Minka.
“Being a superhero would be the best. You can do anything and everything you want with superpowers.” Vinnie excitedly exclaimed.
After hearing the plot of the comic, Sunil takes Pepper to the side.
“Oh Pepper. I wish I were like a superhero. I would be bold, daring, save the day, and get lots of attention. If only I wasn’t so scared.” Sunil said worriedly.
“Don’t worry Sunil. Of course, you’re scared, but you’re also nice, humble, and good at magic. That’s why we love you, especially me.” Pepper said, cheering up Sunil in the process.
“She’s right Sunil. You may be scared, but you’re our friend, and we like you for you. We can help you be less scared.” Russell offers.
“Thank you. You are really the best of friends.” Sunil thanked.
“Oh! It’s late. I got to get back to the apartment. See you tomorrow everyone!” Blythe said.
“Bye Blythe.” Mrs. Twombly and the pets said as the day was nearing the end.
“Now, let’s get you home my sweeties,” Mrs. Twombly offered.
So, all the pets, except Sunil, were brought to their homes. She was about to bring Sunil to his owners’ apartment, when she noticed something on the ground.
“Oh dear! Blythe left her comic book here. I guess she’ll have to get it back tomorrow. Sunil, can you hold onto this comic until tomorrow? I would do it, but I have so much stuff in my house, I can’t fit it. Also, I don’t want anything to happen to it. She loves that comic book a lot.” Mrs. Twombly noted.
“Don’t worry Mrs. Twombly. I will keep Blythe’s comic book safe and sound until she gets it back tomorrow.” Sunil offered.
Back in Ponyville, the ponies have finished cleaning up the castle, and are going to do construction work the next day. Spike then reads the comic to the Mane 6. Everyone enjoyed reading the comic book, especially Fluttershy.
“Oh, if only I could become like Saddle Rager again or any pony superhero. I would be so strong and confident, and I would save everypony in trouble.” Fluttershy cried out, timidly.
“Don’t worry Fluttershy. We know you’re scared, but we still love you. You’re sweet, kind, and good with animals. You just need to have the heart of a horse: fearless, determined, and persistent.” Twilight said, cheering Fluttershy up in the process.
“Thanks Twilight. I feel a little better” said Fluttershy, happily.
“Whoa! It’s six o clock, and it’s near dark. We should get home before it gets too dark.” said Rainbow noticing the time.
“Rainbow Dash is right. We don’t want to run into vampire bats. They’re quite aggressive at night.” Rarity agreed. And so, the ponies and Spike went home, ate dinner, and then went to bed. Fluttershy is moving around in her bed because she can’t sleep.
“Oh! I should have been able to clean the statue without being afraid of heights. If I let my cowardice get the best of me, the castle would not have been made cleaner, which would hinder Twilight from eventually ruling from there. And it would have been my fault. If only I was less afraid.” said Fluttershy worriedly
We go back to Downtown City where Sunil can’t stop moving around in bed. He feels like he should be braver.
"If only I was brave, outside of fighting cobras. I would get more respect from my friends. I know they like me, but I want them to like me more. I wish I were braver.” said Sunil, feeling all timid.
“I wish to be brave like a superhero.” Sunil and Fluttershy said, exactly at the same time. And then, they go back to bed.
