Camping
The moment Sunny caught her breath, she aggressively wiggled out of her sleeping bag, got to her hooves, yanked the front zipper of the tent flap up, and nearly tackled Hitch in annoyance.
"Tip-hoofing up to a tent in the middle of the night? Are you kidding me?!" Sunny asked incredulously as Hitch stumbled back to avoid falling into the dirt.
"Well, excuse me for wanting to make sure it was actually you!" Hitch shot back.
Sunny rolled her eyes as Hitch turned to pick up his lantern, and Izzy's head popped out of the tent flaps.
"Good evening, sheriff. Late evening at that," the unicorn greeted, stepping out of the tent after Sunny.
"So just what are you doing out here?" Sunny asked as her annoyance with the late night interruption began to wane.
"I figured I'd tag along, make sure nothing happens to you," the stallion explained.
Sunny stared in surprise.
"Seriously? Leaving town wasn't enough for you?" Sunny asked.
"Come on, you're my friend, Sunny," Hitch replied.
"Yeah, 'the last real friend I've got in that town,'" Sunny shot back, mocking what Hitch had told her moments before Izzy came into town. "So you think Maretime Bay is not going to need their sheriff with how panicked and paranoid Canterlogic has made the populace?"
"Don't worry, I left Sprout in charge until I get back," Hitch told her, and only once the words left his mouth did he realize how ridiculous that sounded.
"You just used 'don't worry' and 'Sprout' in the same sentence. Are you hearing yourself right now?" the earth mare asked.
"Oh come on, Sunny. Three is better than two for traveling!" Izzy offered.
Sunny went over it in her head, and didn't want to disappoint her new friend, or her old one.
"On one condition. Anything and everything we do is a group decision. Your jurisdiction ended at Maretime Bay's city limits. Are we clear?" Sunny asked him.
"Clear." Hitch replied immediately.
"Alright, in that case, I'll help get your tent set up so we can all get back to bed."
"Sunny, I was in the Colt Scouts."
"And I was in the Filly Scouts, and got the tent badge. Sooner you're set up, the sooner we're all back in bed. We've got an early start tomorrow."
"Alright, you win, let me get it unpacked."
Sprout was up dark and early the next morning, showered and ready for work even before his mom was up. With his mane freshly slicked back, he stepped out into the early morning, and made his way to the precinct, before there was barely a soul on the downtown streets, save for some of the businesses that were some of the first to open.
'Alright, Sprout. Keep everypony calm, maintain the peace, be a pillar of strength. Think you can do that?' Hitch had told him last night.
He was rather surprised that Hitch was going to go after Sunny now that she and the trouble she routinely caused was out of Maretime Bay, but he certainly wasn't going to let this opportunity pass up. He'd prove to Hitch that he could be depended on for the very rare times he left town for a day or so, usually to accompany a Colt Scouts camping trip. Right now, he was hoping that the town would remain calm thanks to what Hitch had told them yesterday, that the unicorn was being escorted out of town and told to not come back. Other than that, he figured it was going to be patrolling and checking for litter. 'Calm and clean', was the approach he was going to take.
By the time he was settled in the precinct, he figured he could get paperwork in order before his favorite pizza place opened for an early lunch, opting for a chocolate-covered granola bar to hold him over until then. To pass the time, he made sure his desk was cleaned and organized, because it was by far the most cluttered space of the entire office area.
Maybe if he pulled this off, he'd get his own calendar.

Especially what he was going to do when you guys get back
Ok so it looks like hitch told them that he's going to tag along with them even though Sunny has a little suspicious but Izzy wouldn't mind him joining with them meanwhile sprouts is just now keeping eye on the town hopefully things will be quiet I wonder how this will work once they make it to Zephyr Heights I guess we'll find out next time
Sunny seems to be a lot more snarky than she was in the original movie.

Just a bit mistrusting of Hitch for now.
Ouch
So obviously, while Hitch sets up his own tent, Sunny and Izzy will be in theirs actively trying to fail the Bechdel test and talk about Hitch
... only for Sunny to admit that although he's smart, handsome, and really cares about Sunny, as Izzy points out, neither mare has much of a shot with him. Not Izzy, because Hitch doesn't quite trust her. And not Sunny, because after that stunt she pulled in Canterlogic, Hitch made it clear that her activism and the trouble it gets her into makes his job difficult and is putting a strain on their friendship, and Sunny admits that a relationship between them would never survive.
Alright, done pulling that out of my ass. Now let's actually read this chapter.
Already? I figured it'd take another day for him to say it out loud. Well at least Sprout is making the effort.
Glad to see another installment of this story. It was fun seeing the aftermath of Hitch's accidental scare of Sunny and Izzy from the last chapter. XD
Really wondering if Sprout is actually going to put in the right effort this time, compared to how things went down in canon... I'm dubious, I admit, but you never know...

Well, depending on how much faith she has in Hitch's ability to have his feelings change with the provable facts, and optimism about their mission, she might see "get the Colt" as a natural outcome of "save the world", since it will prove she was actually at least somewhat (and possibly totally) justified in speaking out as she did.
Prior to the middle of the movie I do not find you as her friend, only Izzy and Zipp.
That I can agree with.
