(Slight spoilers for Make Your Mark: Chapter 2, takes place after "Have You Seen This Dragon?".)
After being reunited with Sparky, Hitch is more determined than ever to find a reliable pony to be a designated dragonsitter for him. There's just one problem, he doesn't know who to turn to fill that role.
As Hitch contemplates his options, Sprout happens to show up hoping to have a talk with Hitch about his "community service". Seeing an opportunity to prove how useful he can be, Sprout offers to be Sparky's dragonsitter. And after some pleading, Hitch reluctantly agrees.
Unfortunately for Sprout, he has no idea what Sparky is capable of or how much of a hoofful he can be. Sprout will soon learn just how much trouble one baby dragon can be all by himself.
If only hitch and the other girls knows about the reasoning of this whole situation why Sparky got kidnapped
Now this should be a TYT episode.
Well whose fault was that in the first place sprout
And trust me we really don't want to repeat what just happened when he lost his mind
although it was pretty funny and kind of cool at the same time
Well I hope for his reasoning is very true because I do want to see that
How hard could it be yeah you just basically tempted Faith
I love you you love me lol
Oh wow I didn't notice it was like a reference to My Little Pony friendship is Magic very clever
Well he's not wrong about that Misty is out there still trying to figure out how to kidnap the Dragon
Well I would say this was a pretty cute story so it looks like the ordeal was over after The Disappearance of Sparky hitch needs a break but he can't leave Sparky like that but it looks like sprouts came in just in time and even asking if he wants to keep an eye on the kid and despite that he has some mixed feelings about this but you really wants to prove himself and everybody that he can do this and he can be trusted so with that said hitch trusted sprout to keep an eye on him and so far things were pretty good all he had to do is just keep it on on him but also entertain him as well and feed him and I do like the way how you reference to my little pony friendship is magic although things kind of went downhill when sparky needed to go to the bathroom luckily he made it but then sending sprouts hair on fire by his fire and when he was distracted sparky disappeared and sprout was in a panic to find him after a couple of minutes he felt like everything was crumbly down on him thinking that everybody was right about him that he can't be trusted but Sparky came along and relieve he was okay and Sparky taking a liking of sprout even hugging him which that was the most adorable thing I ever seen and felt like Sparky can trust him then throughout the rest of the day they just basically watched television it's a hitch showed up that both of them were asleep and hitch made a good decision for having spout to keep an eye on him this was a pretty good story and a very cute one and I would love to see that in the show keep up the good work
This was a very good and adorable story. I was smiling from beginning to end—5 out of 5 stars.

Yeah, but to be fair, Misty is more mixed-up than evil - loyal to the wrong side, but otherwise a decent mare.
Her boss, on the other hand/hoof, yeah. Definitely a nasty one. But she is more of a combination of all three tribes (plus some probable dragon).

Yeah I know I kind of didn't finish what I meant she was just naive and hopefully she will understand somewhere in the later season and hopefully sunny and the others will save her somehow
Hey there. Have to say that you did a great job on the exchanges, characterizations and general wrap-up in this one-shot. Definitely liked Sprout learning just how difficult babysitting can be, especially sitting a baby dragon, but growing to enjoy it all the same.
And, yeah, I personally think G5 should have been its own universe with G4 existing as a fictional universe made popular by toys, comic books and TV shows (or so most think - the toymakers and writers could have gotten subconscious images of the real adventures of the G4 ponies in their universe and made them into merchandise). A bit more science fiction with the Earth ponies, unicorns and Pegasi (as well as several other species) all having their own planets (as was originally planned before the idea got scrapped). Oh well, that could work as a "What If?" series in a couple of years after the show has had a couple of seasons under its belt.
At any rate, really looking forward to more of this.
I've wondered about that as well, but I suppose, for all I know, Sparky was already potty-trained straight out of his egg.
Either that, or potty-training him quickly became Hitch's priority number one shortly thereafter.
I dunno...Misty's more misguided than evil exactly.

I've seen a fanfic that used that premise, inspired by scrapped G5 character art back when it was using rehashes of the Mane 6 designs, but I'm not aware of that story premise ever actually being an official scrapped idea for G5, and haven't seen any evidence that would say as such. I was, in fact, under the impression that said premise was all the creation of the writer of the aforementioned fanfic (if so, then I think it would be rather remiss to assign the credit for its creation to the otherwise undeserving folks of Hasbro rather than that writer, wouldn't you?
).
Really really cute stuff. You're right in assuming that Sprout prooooobably won't show up again, which is a little unfortunate, since I found him to be one of the compelling characters from the film. You have a goldmine of potential with the premise of a remorseful Sprout doing oddjobs as he finds his place, though, if you ever decide to continue it.

Yeah. I know. I read those stories too. And, yes, I also see your point.
Ooo, meta! Also, Sprout I think you need to look in the mirror before you call any pony "technicolored."
Shame there is still no Sparky tag..
Sparky has his own name tag
