Chapter 19: Lost in Translation
Chapter 19: Lost In Translation
Hith then poke his head out from behind a tree with his adventure hat before hiding back behind it, then he came from under a rock, and then pop out of hiding behind from a bush as he got his bag, which a robot claw that is holding a map, as he takes a look at it.
“According to the map, the schmugelberry bush should be riiigght, here!” Hitch called out as he read the map. Once he puts it down, he sees Sunny with a blank look with a raised eyebrow as she is right next to the Schmugelberry Bush with a basket that she is leaning on. “Huh? How’d you get here so fast? And Where’s Sunset?” Hitch asks Sunny, wondering how she got ahead of him and wonders where Sunset is since she’s supposed to help them pick some ingredients.
“Um.” Sunny said with a cough. “We’re in our garden, Hitch.” Sunny pointed out to her childhood friend, while pointing to the garden that is next to the Crystal Brighthouse to point out the obvious. “And Sunset is at the other side of the garden gathering some berries. She will be here shortly.” She added, while pointing out that Sunset is gathering some berries but said that she will catch up.
“Uh. I defintiely overpacked.” Hitch said as he brought out his adventurer's pack, that he might have overdid it a little, as it started to strain when it opened up as all of Hitch’s stuff, his tent, two chairs and a fireplace that somehow light itself up, fell on the floor, making the garden a little like a campsite.
Sunset then came to them with a basket full of berries. “Okay, guys. I got the basket filled with berries. So let’s get…” She stop midsettion as she sees Hitch’s camping stuff around them as she looked at Hitch and Sunny, who are bothing having strange looks at this and a little embarrass for Sunset to see them like this. Sunset spoke after a moment of silence. “Hitch overdid it again, Sunny? Because this is a garden, not a camping ground.” She stated, while having a knowing thought that Hitch might have overdid it
“Yes.” Sunny answered sheepishly while Hitch chuckled embarrassely, having a feeling he had that coming.
Sunset sighs as she places the berries basket down as she used to put Hitch’s camp stuff away. “Hitch. Will it be nice of you to lay off overdoing things for a while? We are in the garden to pick up some ingredients. I get that every backyard has camping stuff in them, but we are not having an adventure or exploring, we are just picking up some fruits and veggies.” She pointed out that they aren’t exploring, just doing some picking in the garden.
Hitch chuckled sheepishly. “Yeah. I really overdid it. I gotta work on that.” He admittedly said, finding Sunset’s words true.
Sunny chuckled at Hitch’s embarrassment as she got them back to the topic. “Well, let's get picking.” She announced to the two ponies as she turned to the bush. “That’s Schmugelberry Pie isn’t going to ‘schmuggle’ make it self.” She added with a smile and a laugh, finding that pun funny. Stating that they are going to make Schmugelberry Pie, which is why they are at the garden to pick out the ingredients.
Sunset laughs at Sunny’s joke. “Good one, Sunny!” She said with a laugh, finding it funny as well.
Sunny was then about to grab a schmuggle berry, but gasps in surprise as the bush starts to twitch as something is in the bush.
“Watch out, Sunny.” Hitch advises as he places a hoof in front of Sunny for her safety as the two ponies back up as Sunset watches from behind. “This bush could be dangerous.” He pointed out as he took out a spork from his bag as a weapon infront of the bush. “Never trust anything that starts with schmugel.” He pointed out as he came close to the bush with a brave expression, going to face what was in the bush.
Sunset then raised an eyebrow at what Hitch said and what he’s doing. “Yeah. Nopony said that, Hitch. And going to face it with a spork as a weapon? Yeah. Very intimidating.” She said with a bored tone, finding Hitch’s protective side for Sunny impressive and cute, but his weapon choice, very poorly.
“Well, I use what I have in me. So I gotta work with it.” Hitch stated, while this is all he has to work with as a weapon while facing something that could be dangerous. He came closer to the bush with his brave expression on. As he gets closer, he moves some of the bush open as he sees a raccoonicorn, who is wearing a hat and a badge, and a Pegasnail, with a hat as well, fighting over a schmuggelberry, the two critters each leaders of their own pack.
Sunset and Sunny just gave an uncertain look. “Huh. Not what I expected.” Sunny said, having not seen this coming.
“Ditto.” Sunset said in agreement, this is something they didn’t expect.
The critters continued to fight over the fruit as Hitch turned to the two ponies with a smile. “Sunny. Sunset. You two are about to see amaster class in…uh.” He said while trying to come up with a name for his ability to talk to animals. “Critter Talkery.” He said while giving a sheepish smile at Sunny and Sunset, going to have to work on the name thing later but have to deal with these two critters now. He turned to them with a smile. “Guys. What seems to be the problem?” He asks the two critters, using his Talking to Animals Magic to understand them to figure out the issue.
The Raccoonicorn cleared his throught as he spoke to Hitch in a New York anncent, or translated since he’s the only pony who can understand them. ‘Well, you see us, racoonicorns have been nibblin’ on these here branches for generations.’ He answered to Hitch about his reason.
‘Illegally, I might add.’ The Pegasnail said, in a post accent as she spoke up. ‘We Pegasnails have rights to all fruit-bearing plants in the garden. It says so here in the Great Snail Scroll.’ She lifted up and said ‘scroll’, that is just a leaf with words and signature on it.
‘That's just a rolled-up leaf!’ Raccoonicorn pointed out as he glared at the Pegasnail.
‘You're just a rolled-up leaf!’ Pegasnail retorted as she glared back at him as Raccoonicorn threw the leaf away.
The Lead Pegasnail and Lead Raccoonicorn then tugged at the berry they are both holding as it breaks apart. The two critters then glared at each other as they slapped each other.
Sunny, Sunset and Hitch looked at the critters with nervous expressions as they saw what was going on. The two former ponies don’t need Hitch to translate as they can see that those two critters are fighting over the berry, clearly seeing the problem.
“Okay. We don’t need you to translate what is happening, Hitch. Because we can tell from body language.” Sunset said to Hitch so he didn’t have to tell them what was going on since the body language gave it away.
“Yeah.” Sunny agreed, seeing it as well. “Anything we can do?” She asks Hitch, wondering what if she and Sunset could help Hitch out with this problem.
“Nope.” Hitch answered with a confident smile. “All under control, you two. I got this.” He said to them as he has a thing with critters and could help solve this problem.
Sunset was having second thoughts about this. “I don’t know, Hitch. Ever since you got the ability to talk to animals like Fluttershy used to do, you have hardly any practice to negotiate with animals since you never did that before.” She pointed out, while Hitch was doing great understanding animals like how Fluttershy onced did, but never really negotiated with them before since having that ability.
“I think I’ll handle it, Sunset. Besides, I’ve negotiated with ponies before. I’m sure negotiations with animals aren’t that different.” Hitch said, pointed out how different between helping ponies with their issues from helping animals with their issues.
Sunset then thought of what Hitch said, seeing he has a point. “Okay. Fair enough.” She replied with a shrug. “All right, we'll let you and your new animal communication skills handle this for now, but don't hesitate to ask us for help if the mess gets too big for you to handle alone.” She advises Hitch to know that he can always ask for help if things go overwhelming for him.
“Don’t worry. If there’s pressure, I’ll ask.” Hitch replied with a smile, saying that if things get too hard for him, he’ll asks when needed
“All right.” Sunny spoke up with a smile as she grabbed her basket. “Well, we’re gonna go find some apples for the pie.” She said as she and Sunset will grab some more things for the pie while Hitch solves this problem.
“We’ll be back when we get the apples. We still need that berry for the pie.” Sunset added as she and Sunny walked back to the other section of the garden to get the apples. Leaving Hitch to take care of the critters' issues.
The Pegasnail and the Raccoonicorn continue their slap fight as Hitch comes to them as he speaks.
“Look, there's gotta be a simple way to resolve this.” Hitch said to them, suggest to the two critters a better way to resolve this issue without the fighting.
The Lead Raccoonicorn thought of what Hitch said as he smiled. ‘You're right!’ He then jumped to the ground as he turned in a direction. ‘Raccoonicorns, assemble!’ He announce as three of his raccoonicorns comrades, with military helments and using a broom, brush and a stick as a weapon with a homemade calapult behind them.
‘Pegasnails, also assemble!’ The Lead Pegasnail called out to her comrades, who popped up from behind the bushes, tucked their wings in and moved the catapult of their own as well, but at a slow paste, since their snails. Hitch, the Raccoonicorns and the Lead Pegasnail looked at them as the snails came slowly at them. ‘We're going to need a minute.’ The Lead Pegasnail said to the others, feeling embarrassed and forgotten that the Pegasnails are slow when they are trailing on the ground.
A few minutes later, Hitch and the Racconicorns are feeling a little sleepy from waiting for the Pegasnails. Once they are close enough, the two sides, Raccoonicorns and Pegasnails, give out challenging glares at each other, going to start a fight with each other.
Hitch saw what they were about to do as he got inbetween the two sides. “Okay! This isn't what I had in mind!” He called out to them while pointing at each of them. “No fighting, no swords, and no unbelievably adorable catapults!” He scolded, while the last words he spoke, he admired how those critters made those catapults and found them cute as he smiled and had sparkles in his eyes, before he got serious again. “All we need is a schedule. The raccoonicorns can pick from the bush one day, and then the Pegasnails on the other. You'll take it in turns. I'll be watching to make sure you all stick to it.” He said to them, while making a schedule so that the two critters can take turns, and going to be watching them to make sure they stick to the schedule.
One of the Pegasnail soldiers was on the catapult, but then it went off as it tossed the Pegasnail over them as he screamed and crashed to the other side as the others cringe at the outcome, that’s gonna leave a mark.
Some time later, Hitch finished the schedule as he placed the sign down, with pictures of the Raccoonicorns and Pegasnails to take turns.
Hitch turned to the critters. “Trust me. This is foolproof. Rules and regulations fix everything.” He said with a smile as he had a feeling that this might turn out great.
The Lead Raccoonicorn and the Lead Pegasnail looked at each other, having some thoughts about this.
(Rule 4 That Song)
Hitch then puts on his sunglasses as he bobs his head to the beat as he feels a song coming on.
Come on!
Got an issue (issue)? Got a problem (problem)?
Did you know I got the thing that's gonna solve 'em?
He sang to the Pegasnails and Raccoonicorns as separated the two bickering leaders and brought out a paper that showed maybe the solution of the issue.
You need a guide, yeah, no substitutions
So listen here and I'll give you the solution
He showed them the sign, and then use somekind of line he opened up for the Raccoonicorns to go in first. The Raccoonicorns gave out sparkling eyes as they came to the bush to get their nibbles on the berries.
No time for playin', you must be selfless (yeah!)
So we can make sure that everypony benefits
Hitch stands guard while watching the Raccoonicorns nibble the berries, but then the Pegasnails are wearing a disguise to get past Hitch. But Hitch saw this and ripp their coat off to see the other Pegasnails ontop one another, trying to cut the Raccoonicorns’ turn. Hitch pulled out a sign of them in their disguises that is marked ‘No Disguises’ as a rule.
And if we're gonna all win, no, we can't fool around
We just gotta make sure that we write it all down
Hitch checked off the Raccoonicorns, meaning that their turn has ended and now it's Pegasnail's turn.
We gotta all get along – we got a rule 4 that
That's why I'm singin' this song – we got a rule 4 that
We're gonna get the job done, don't forget to have fun
As a matter of fact, we got a rule 4 that
A present was shown as the Lead Raccoonicorn from the back of the present. Lead Raccoonicorn waved to the Pegasnails as the Pegasnails looked and headed towards the present, the Lead Raccoonicorn was somehow behind them and snickering at them with his trick. The Raccoonicorns are in the bush while the Pegasnails are distracted by the decoy present. Hitch came to the bush as the critters saw him as he shook his head in disappointment and then placed a new rule saying ‘No Decoy Gifts’ on it as he sighs in thinking there might be more rules to be placed in.
'Cause we all gotta learn – we got a rule 4 that
When everypony gets a turn – we got a rule 4 that
Things are much better when we all work together
Got a rule 4 that, we got a rule 4 that
It was then the Raccoonicorns turn as they nibbed on the berries. Above one of them is a Pegasnail on a pole, who jumps down with a robe and grabs some berries and places it on top of the pole as it bondge up and down to grab some berries. Before it can grab some more, Hitch spots him as the Pegasnail stops its bondge jumping as it gives a sheepish smile at him as Hitch gives it an irritated look. He then put in a new sign that means ‘No Rope Stealing’ on it as a Raccoonicorn steals a berry from a Pegasnail before running off, but not before it is trapped on a net covered in leaves as it hangs on a tree. And then a Pegasnail snatched that berry from the trapped Raccoonicorn as if it flew off while the trap critter tried to get out.
Hey, hey! Hey, hey!
Oh-oh, oh-oh! (Come on!) Oh-oh, oh-oh!
Hey, hey! (We got a rule 4 that!) Hey, hey!
Oh-oh, oh-oh! Oh-oh, oh-oh!
The Pegasnail flew off with the berry, but not before getting trapped in a plant fly trap, and then the fly trap spit the Pegasnail out. The Pegasnail landed on the ground as a Raccoonicorn caught the berry the plant spit out and then gave it 10 dollars for helping him.
Hitch is starting to feel overwhelmed by this schedule and new rules and that the critters have other ways to get the berries.
Just then, Sunny and Sunset came back with each carrying a baskt full of apples they’ve collected. “Um, how's it going, Hitch?” Sunny asks her childhood friend as they come to view, only for her and Sunset to widen their eyes in shock at what they are seeing.
They are seeing the Raccoonicorns and Pegasnails fighting each other as Hitch starts sweating and panting while being so welled up by this whole thing, that he’s starting to lose it.
“It's, um... going pretty well?” Hitch tries to say to the two ponies as he gives off a weak laugh before he starts crying as this is not going very well and he can’t take much more of this.
‘Ha! Take that!’ A Pegasnail soldier called out as he and his comrade drop danelion where the Lead Raccoonicorn and his comrade are with the catapult.
‘Dandelion incoming!’ The Lead Raccoonicorn cried out to his comrade who launched the catapult at the incoming rival as the whole garden area is like a warzone as projectiles came flying back-in-forth while Hitch, Sunny and Sunset watched with worried looks as they watched this sudden warzone.
“Great. Two critters are going at it in an all out rumble! And we’re caught in the middle!” Sunset cried out as she saw animals fight before but this takes it to a whole new level. “And this reminds me of when Twilight and the girls once went to Appleloosa during the whole buffalo incident and a pie war that happened when two tribes clashed! And this is like that!” She cried out while remembering the time when Twilight told her that she and her friends were in Appleloosa during the whole sharing land thing with the country ponies and the buffalos, and a pie war until they finally shared the land.
“Yeah! This is crazy alright!” Sunny said in agreement, having heard that tale before.
“Ah! What did I do wrong?!” Hitch cried out as he was wondering how this all went down hill. “I thought I could use my new critter communication skills to really make a difference! But I just made things worse!” He cried out, thought that his ability to talk to animals would make a difference for the critters but instead, it went bad.
Sunny then came to her childhood friend as she placed a hoof on his shoulder for comfort. “It's okay, Hitch. You just gotta try a different approach.” She suggested with a smile for Hitch to try another option.
“Yeah. Like using a different method to help you solve this problem.” Sunset added.
“Like a weekly roster instead of a daily one?” Hitch asked, thinking a weekly roster would work since the daily one didn’t cut.
“No.” Both Sunset and Sunny said in unison at Hitch’s next roster idea, which didn’t work well.
“Why don't you try seeing what they have in common?” Sunny suggested. Remember, there's magic in unity.” She reminded Hitch that magic is in unity when there’s harmony.
“Yeah, Hitch. Just try and find a way to this and see if these critters have something in common that will stop this fight.” Sunset added, telling him to fing something that the critter all shared in common to put an end to this mess.
“See what they have in common…” Hitch repeated those words while thinking about what Sunny and Sunset said as he thinks of something.
And then a Raccoonicorn Soldier is being attacked by a Pegasnail on top of him as his head is covered in dandelion. ‘Ooh! Ow! Ow! Watch the hair! Watch the fur!’ He cried out to the Pegasnail right on top of him.
Hitch saw this as he placed a hoof on his chin. “Hmmm…” He hums to himself, thinking of what these critters have in common.
The Lead Pegasnail then led her comrades for a strike while carrying dandelions. En masse! Pegasnails en masse!’ The Lead Pegasnail cried out.
‘Raccoonicorns, attack!’ The Lead Raccoonicorns cried out to his comrades as they charged at the Pegasnails.
Hitch then comes down in the middle before the two critters fraction charge at one another with a table he is standing on as he gives the two critters a look as the fractions stop their strike on each other. ‘Hey, I'm battlin' here! What is this?’ The Lead Raccoonicorn asks what this is all about.
“This is the talking table.” Hitch answered, having enough of this argument between the critters. “We're gonna sit around it, and we're gonna talk this thing out! Now!” He yelled out to them that they need to settle their differences now.
The Lead Raccoonicorn and Pegasnail all sat on the table as they spoke in their animal languages while discussing their differences in the berry bush they’ve been fighting for. They give out angry chatter as Sunny and Sunset watches, since they can’t understand what they are saying except for Hitch, they just watch it flow.
“You know. Seeing Hitch understanding animals reminds me a whole alot of Fluttershy in him.” Sunset said to Sunny as Hitch is like Fluttershy when it comes to animals.
“Yeah. Even I find it in him as well. Are you sure he could be related to Fluttershy?” Sunny asks, wondering if Hitch might be related with the Guardian of Kindness or the Guardian of Friendship.
“The ability to speak to animals checks out. So I’m going with yes.” Sunset stated, since Hitch has the ability to understand animals like Fluttershy onced did, it is most certain that Hitch is definitely related to Fluttershy.
Hitch then spoke up to break the attention to the two critters’ leaders. “I hear you, but we all have to work together if we want—” He stated but was cut off when Lead Pegasnail flew up and spoke.
‘Work together?! Ugh! Impossible!’ Lead Pegasnail protested, thinking that it might not work.
“Hey!” Lead Raccoonicorn yelled out, feeling offended by that.
Lead Pegasnail and Lead Raccoonicorn all yelled out in animal languages again as Sunny and Sunset watched back-in-forth between this argument, since they can tell by body language.
“Oh, come on now.” Hitch broke the tension again as he spoke calmly to them. “There's gotta be something you both—” he was cut off when Lead Raccoonicorn spoke up.
‘Unless it's gotta do with bakin', I don't wanna hear about it!’ Lead Raccoonicorn yelled out, stating that unless it’s about baking, he’s not listening to what they hav eto say.
‘Oh! Baking?’ Lead Pegasnail said in shock at what Lead Raccoonicorn said. ‘I also love to bake!’ She called out with a smile, stating she loves baking as well.
The Lead Raccoonicorn and Pegasnail then looked at each other, before giving quivering smiles with tears in their eyes before they started huffging each other as they cried in joy.
‘Hey, bring it in here!’ Lead Raccoonicorn cried out as Lead Pegasnail laughed as they hugged each other.
Hitch gave the two critters a smile before turning to Sunny and Sunset. “You two were totally right, Sunny and Sunset.” He said to them as he walked to the two ponies as the latters smiled back. “Turns out they both love making berry-based treats, and now they're best friends!” He said, happy that the two critters fractions are now friends and are sharing the berries and other fruits for baking stuff they needed for baking as they got along well.
“We’re proud of you, Hitch.” Sunny said with a smile as she placed a hoof on Hitch in him solving the problem as Hitch smiled back.
“Yeah. You helped settle the differences between these two critters, found something they have in common and then they became friends in the end.” Sunset added with a smile. “If Fluttershy was still around, she would be very proud of you and for carrying on her legacy for the animals Hitch.” She added with a smile, knowing very well that if Fluttershy was here, she would be very proud of Hitch for doing something that she would do for the animals.
Hitch smiled at his friend's comments. “Thanks, guys.” He said with a smile as he turned to the other critters. “Hey. So, uh…” He started off with a nervous smile “...now can we pick some of those berries for our pie?” He asks them since they need some of the barriers for their pie, since that’s the main ingredient of the Schmugelberry Pie.
The critters and the Leaders gave them looks as they glared at them, the three ponies stared at them in shock, knowing what’s gonna happen. But before the critters attacked the three ponies, Sunset spoke up.
“If you let us get some berries for our pie, we can bake enough for everycreature here!” Sunset called out as the Raccoonicorns and Pegasnails listened to what Sunset was proposing. “Yeah. We need some of those berries for our Schmugelberry Pie. But due to you all bickering and not sharing with one another, we haven't picked any since then. Now, if you let us pick some of the berries, we can make enough for everycreature here, all ponies, Raccoonicorns and Pegasnails. I swear, we won’t steal, we just need some and we can share this garden.” She proposes to them that if they let them get the berries, they will bake enough for everycreature here, the critters think for a moment before speaking in animal languages. Sunset turned to Hitch for translation.
“They said, ‘If we let you get some of these berries, you promise to give us a piece of that pie?’” Hitch translated so that Sunset can understand.
Sunset turned to them with a smile. “Yes. I promise. I’ll even Pinkie Promise for it. Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.” She chats while going through the Pinkie Promise movement to prove her point.
The critters thought for a moment to Sunset’s proposal, after a moment of thinking, they nodded their heads in agreement with Sunset’s proposal. Clearing a path for them to pick the berries for their pie.
Sunset sighs in relief, glad that actually worked. “C’mon, ponies. That Schmugelberry Pie isn’t gonna ‘schmugel’ itself!” She jokely said to Sunny and Hitch as the two ponies then laughed before they started picking some of the berries they needed for the pie.
“Great proposal to the critters, Sunset.” Sunny said, while admiring Sunset’s ways of agreement.
“I had alot of practice, Sunny. And a little advice about animals from Fluttershy in my experience.” Sunset replied, while having experience with this kind of thing before while also taking up animal lessons from Fluttershy back in the day.
“We’ll, you’re gonna have to teach me some of those negotiations sometimes.” Hitch said, wanting to know how to negotiate well, even to the animals.
“Me too. I wanna know how to negotiate correctly.” Sunny added, wanting to know as well for future references in case she needs to negotiate in the future.
“Sure. But after that we made the pie. We worked hard to get these ingredients and we made a promise to the critters. So let’s get to work.” Sunset stated as the two ponies nodded their heads in agreement as they picked the berries. Going to make the pie they all well deserve while keeping their promise to the critters that finally became friends for something they have in common.

That was brave of Sunset to say that to those animals and this new chapter is going great so far.
11307996
Thanks. Spent all day on it
11308001
You're welcome
Huh this time an animal with wings is not a bird like very random but I guess that's usually happens
It's time for hitches ability to help out and he's going to channel the Fluttershy ability
Again, very good job on the exchanges, characterizations, general wrap-up and future chapter set-up. And thanks very much for liking a couple of my dialogue ideas enough to use them. Definitely liked Sunset helping Hitch negotiate with the Racoonicorns and Pegasnails concerning the baking ingredients.
Certainly looking forward to more of this.
Seriously this is like the episode of The Hooffields and McColts fighting for their property
Oh yeah that's right I forgot about that one that's twice that happened that both ponies and creatures having problems of property and everything and they always start a fight wow I can't believe I almost forgot about that
11308025
Animals evolved in pony theme. Happens to the best of them.
11308027
Yep it’s time for him to inherit Fluttershy’s way with animals
11308030
Thanks did my best
11308031
That’s what I call deja vu all over again
11308033
History repeats itself. The future times are strange so they gotta get rearranged. But the more things change the more they all stayed the same
“You know. Seeing Hitch understanding animals reminds me a whole alot of Fluttershy in him.” Sunset said to Sunny as Hitch is like Fluttershy when it comes to animals.
“Yeah. Even I find it in him as well. Are you sure he could be related to Fluttershy?” Sunny asks, wondering if Hitch might be related with the Guardian of Kindness or the Guardian of Friendship.
You know ever since the new generation I always knew there's something about hitch ever since these animals follow him and liking him a lot and I always have a theory that he could be related to Fluttershy since he has the same ability as her and it kind of begs the question I wonder what hitch family history is I wonder and that's been my theory along time ago
11308059
Well ever since make your Mark, it’s prove that hitch is the descendant of Fluttershy along with applejack and the ability talks to animals runs in the family
Yeah the Pinkie Pie promise never ever break a pinkie promise
11308066
Yeah that is true. Nobody breaks a pinkie promise
Wow this was certainly a very interesting story so it looks like hitch and sunny having their own thing and I'm guessing they've been doing this when they were very little and I wonder if Sprout was with them but anyway they're about to get the berries from Sunny's Garden and it looks like sunset is there with them they're about to get the final ingredients until they saw two animals Racoonicorns and Pegasnail which again random and both of them were fighting over the berries and hitch is about to use his new ability of trying to negotiate with the two animals sunny and sunset despite they can't understand the animals they wanted to see if they can help out but he said he got this so with that they let him do it at first things were going okay and he even set up some schedule seeing how this will work but unfortunately the animals took advantage of some of the rules and upsetting the both side and now they're just fighting each other which it did not work out Sunset and sunny told him there has to be up by the way telling him what do they have in common so he tried again yes they're still arguing about it but they told him if they can make something this would ease the attention which it did work and two animals agreed again his ability came really in handy so they were about to ask them if they can use the last ingredient but unfortunately they were about to attack them until sunset told them which again despite that she doesn't have the same ability as Fluttershy or hitch but she wants to make a deal with them if they make the pies they can share with each other which the animals are great to it nice way for a different ending for this that everybody wins this was a pretty good story I wonder what else could happen guess we'll find out next time
11308071
That pretty much sums up the entire chapter. Glad you like it
11308059
11308065
To be fair, it is not only possible, but quite probable that ALL of the Mane Five are descended in some way from Twilight and her friends. In addition to Hitch very likely having both Fluttershy AND Applejack among his ancestors, Izzy is almost certainly descended from Pinkie Pie, Zipp and Pipp (as well as their mother) probably have both Rainbow Dash AND Rarity among their ancestors and so on.
11308075
Yeah that what I think when g5 first appeared, they shared similar traits so it’s easy to tell
11308075
Yes that is definitely how they represent from their counterparts and it's always nice to see G4 still holds on up to the future of the G5
Even though his cutie mark is nothing about animals, i'd say its about bloodlines or blood related
11308001
11308073
Have you read Like a mare possessed?
Ah, marvelous darling!
Wow, I'm impressed. Sunset really is a good negotiator.
11308361
She had a lot of practice when she was with Celestia before she gone rouge and through experience after having to deal with equestrian magic, so yeah. She had a lot of practice
The Lead Raccoonicorn thought of what Hitch said as he smiled. ‘You're right!’ He then jumped to the ground as he turned in a direction. ‘Raccoonicorns, assemble!’ He announces as three of his raccoonicorns comrades, with military helmets and using a broom, brush and a stick as a weapon with a homemade catapult behind them.
Sunset was having second thoughts about this. “I don’t know, Hitch. Ever since you got the ability to talk to animals like Fluttershy used to do, you have hardly any practice to negotiate with animals since you never did that before.” She pointed out, while Hitch was doing great understanding animals like how Fluttershy once did, but never really negotiated with them before since having that ability.
The Raccoonicorn cleared his thought as he spoke to Hitch in a New York accent or translated since he’s the only pony who can understand them. ‘Well, you see us, racoonicorns have been nibbling on these here branches for generations.’ He answered to Hitch about his reason.
The critters continued to fight over the fruit as Hitch turned to the two ponies with a smile. “Sunny. Sunset. You two are about to see a master class in…uh.” He said while trying to come up with a name for his ability to talk to animals. “Critter Talkery.” He said while giving a sheepish smile at Sunny and Sunset, going to have to work on the name thing later but have to deal with these two critters now. He turned to them with a smile. “Guys. What seems to be the problem?” He asks the two critters, using his Talking to Animals Magic to understand them to figure out the issue.
“Well, I use what I have in me. So, I gotta work with it.” Hitch stated, while this is all he has to work with as a weapon while facing something that could be dangerous. He came closer to the bush with his brave expression on. As he gets closer, he moves some of the bush open as he sees a raccoonicorn, who is wearing a hat and a badge, and a Pegasnail, with a hat as well, fighting over a schmuggelberry, the two critters each leader of their own pack.
“Watch out, Sunny.” Hitch advises as he places a hoof in front of Sunny for her safety as the two ponies back up as Sunset watches from behind. “This bush could be dangerous.” He pointed out as he took out a spork from his bag as a weapon in front of the bush. “Never trust anything that starts with schmugel.” He pointed out as he came close to the bush with a brave expression, going to face what was in the bush.
Sunny chuckled at Hitch’s embarrassment as she got them back to the topic. “Well, let's get picking.” She announced to the two ponies as she turned to the bush. “That’s Schmugelberry Pie isn’t going to ‘schmuggle’ make itself.” She added with a smile and a laugh, finding that pun funny. Stating that they are going to make Schmugelberry Pie, which is why they are at the garden to pick out the ingredients.
Sunset then came to them with a basket full of berries. “Okay, guys. I got the basket filled with berries. So, let’s get…” She stops midsection as she sees Hitch’s camping stuff around them as she looked at Hitch and Sunny, who are nothing having strange looks at this and a little embarrass for Sunset to see them like this. Sunset spoke after a moment of silence. “Hitch overdid it again, Sunny? Because this is a garden, not a camping ground.” She stated, while having a knowing thought that Hitch might have overdone it.
“Uh. I definitely overpacked.” Hitch said as he brought out his adventurer's pack, that he might have overdone it a little, as it started to strain when it opened up as all of Hitch’s stuff, his tent, two chairs and a fireplace that somehow light itself up, fell on the floor, making the garden a little like a campsite.
Hitch then pokes his head out from behind a tree with his adventure hat before hiding back behind it, then he came from under a rock, and then pop out of hiding behind from a bush as he got his bag, which a robot claw that is holding a map, as he takes a look at it.
Hitch saw what they were about to do as he got in between the two sides. “Okay! This isn't what I had in mind!” He called out to them while pointing at each of them. “No fighting, no swords, and no unbelievably adorable catapults!” He scolded, while the last words he spoke, he admired how those critters made those catapults and found them cute as he smiled and had sparkles in his eyes, before he got serious again. “All we need is a schedule. The raccoonicorns can pick from the bush one day, and then the Pegasnails on the other. You'll take it in turns. I'll be watching to make sure you all stick to it.” He said to them, while making a schedule so that the two critters can take turns and going to be watching them to make sure they stick to the schedule.
The Lead Pegasnail then led her comrades for a strike while carrying dandelions. 'En masse! Pegasnails en masse!’ The Lead Pegasnail cried out.
“Yeah, Hitch. Just try and find a way to this and see if these critters have something in common that will stop this fight.” Sunset added, telling him to find something that the critter all shared in common to put an end to this mess.
“Ah! What did I do wrong?!” Hitch cried out as he was wondering how this all went downhill. “I thought I could use my new critter communication skills to really make a difference! But I just made things worse!” He cried out, thought that his ability to talk to animals would make a difference for the critters but instead, it went bad.
“Great. Two critters are going at it in an all-out rumble! And we’re caught in the middle!” Sunset cried out as she saw animals fight before but this takes it to a whole new level. “And this reminds me of when Twilight and the girls once went to Appleloosa during the whole buffalo incident and a pie war that happened when two tribes clashed! And this is like that!” She cried out while remembering the time when Twilight told her that she and her friends were in Appleloosa during the whole sharing land thing with the country ponies and the buffalos, and a pie war until they finally shared the land.
Just then, Sunny and Sunset came back with each carrying a basket full of apples they’ve collected. “Um, how's it going, Hitch?” Sunny asks her childhood friend as they come to view, only for her and Sunset to widen their eyes in shock at what they are seeing.
It was then the Raccoonicorns turn as they nibbed on the berries. Above one of them is a Pegasnail on a pole, who jumps down with a robe and grabs some berries and places it on top of the pole as it bungee up and down to grab some berries. Before it can grab some more, Hitch spots him as the Pegasnail stops its bungee jumping as it gives a sheepish smile at him as Hitch gives it an irritated look. He then put in a new sign that means ‘No Rope Stealing’ on it as a Raccoonicorn steals a berry from a Pegasnail before running off, but not before it is trapped on a net covered in leaves as it hangs on a tree. And then a Pegasnail snatched that berry from the trapped Raccoonicorn as if it flew off while the trap critter tried to get out.
Hitch stands guard while watching the Raccoonicorns nibble the berries, but then the Pegasnails are wearing a disguise to get past Hitch. But Hitch saw this and rip their coat off to see the other Pegasnails on top one another, trying to cut the Raccoonicorns’ turn. Hitch pulled out a sign of them in their disguises that is marked ‘No Disguises’ as a rule.
Sometime later, Hitch finished the schedule as he placed the sign down, with pictures of the Raccoonicorns and Pegasnails to take turns.
Hitch saw what they were about to do as he got in between the two sides. “Okay! This isn't what I had in mind!” He called out to them while pointing at each of them. “No fighting, no swords, and no unbelievably adorable catapults!” He scolded, while the last words he spoke, he admired how those critters made those catapults and found them cute as he smiled and had sparkles in his eyes, before he got serious again. “All we need is a schedule. The raccoonicorns can pick from the bush one day, and then the Pegasnails on the other. You'll take it in turns. I'll be watching to make sure you all stick to it.” He said to them, while making a schedule so that the two critters can take turns and going to be watching them to make sure they stick to the schedule.
“Sure. But after that we made the pie. We worked hard to get these ingredients and we made a promise to the critters. So, let’s get to work.” Sunset stated as the two ponies nodded their heads in agreement as they picked the berries. Going to make the pie they all well deserve while keeping their promise to the critters that finally became friends for something they have in common.
“Well, you’re gonna have to teach me some of those negotiations sometimes.” Hitch said, wanting to know how to negotiate well, even to the animals.
“I had a lot of practice, Sunny. And a little advice about animals from Fluttershy in my experience.” Sunset replied, while having experience with this kind of thing before while also taking up animal lessons from Fluttershy back in the day.
Sunset sighs in relief, glad that actually worked. “C’mon, ponies. That Schmugelberry Pie isn’t gonna ‘schmugel’ itself!” She jokily said to Sunny and Hitch as the two ponies then laughed before they started picking some of the berries they needed for the pie.
“Yeah. You helped settle the differences between these two critters, found something they have in common and then they became friends in the end.” Sunset added with a smile. “If Fluttershy was still around, she would be very proud of you and for carrying on her legacy for the animals, Hitch.” She added with a smile, knowing very well that if Fluttershy was here, she would be very proud of Hitch for doing something that she would do for the animals.
Hitch gave the two critters a smile before turning to Sunny and Sunset. “You two were totally right, Sunny and Sunset.” He said to them as he walked to the two ponies as the latter smiled back. “Turns out they both love making berry-based treats, and now they're best friends!” He said, happy that the two critters' fractions are now friends and are sharing the berries and other fruits for baking stuff they needed for baking as they got along well.

Sunset Shimmer
A former student of Princess Celestia from Equestria.
Someone who wasn't concerned about others and was only focused on being in control.
Her actions put herself and others in danger
Luckily a couple of students would be able te help her find her way.
Those students are none other than the main 6
After a crazy event, Sunset learned a valuable lesson in humility but more importantly, the value of friendship and the impact it has on our lives.
The main 6 became responsible for some of the most significant relationships in her life.
Sunset learned that there is more to life than just power, that her friends and family are more important than anything else.
And that friendship truly is magic
