It is said that in times of danger, heroes will come together to face the rising tide of evil, and fight back to preserve the light. These heroes can come from the strangest of places.
This is the story of one such hero. Although she appears to be Sunny Starscout, you may be surprised to learn her true origins...
Part of the Rebirth of Magic continuity. Tags will be updated as the story continues.
Written as part of 40 Years of My Little Pony.

Great to see you back, Chrome.
I can totally relate to this. I didn't become a brony because of fim, but of EQG actually. But, since the start of G5, I've been starting to appreciate the actual mlp that's been around the last 4 decades.
Is he saying he has autism, as I am like that too as I do have it myself.

1. I jumped on with EqG as well, funnily enough (hence why the bulk of my Fimfiction output is EqG).
2. Yes. I have the condition myself. There is actually a fantheory that Sunny has the condition herself. Supporters of this theory point to her unusual sentence phrasing, her tendancy to talk at length about topics even when the listener isn't interested, her odd vocal tones, her apparent difficulty with 'reading' the body language of other ponies, and the fact she seems to struggle with social cues, often speaking at innapropriate volumes.

1. Got it.
2. I see.
11559479
No problem.
cool chapter mate
11559501
Thanks! Anything particularly stand out?
11559422
And it's good to be back.
Sunny!
11559550
Indeed.
11559575
She has arrived! But will it be her day?
11559580
Perhaps it will
But It has to be HER day
11559621
Well, yes. Genderswapping does rather have that effect.
11559628
True
But i hope the guy turned pony mare enjoys it
Its fun to swap at times

You'll have to wait for subsequent chapters to find out.
11559635
You got it!
11559637
Indeed.
So now we get to the start of our next story in this series. Not much I can say that other reviewers haven't already said better, but I do appreciate the small look at the main character's life before the transformation. And, it is apparent this is a bit before the end of the fifth chapter of "Izzy's" story (since that had "Sunny" and "Izzy's" first meeting).
Off an educated guess, I'm going to say that the next story in this series is either going to be focused on "Pipp" or "Hitch" (more likely "Pipp" given the slight cliffhanger in the fifth chapter of "Zipp's" story
But, anyway, the inner reflection, characterization and future chapter set-up are all quite well done.
11559460
Now that I've heard somebody explain that theory to me, I kinda like it. Geranted, I don't think the case is as strong as say, Twilight, though that could easily change as the series goes on (and to be fair, I tend to project myself onto Twilight a lot).
But I really do hope the writers go down that route, not the least because she'd break some of the more pervasive stereotypes about people on the spectrum (i.e, being a girl, liking sports, having an extroverted personality). It'd be cool to see.
Oh, I almost forgot... This series is back!
11559705
Thanks for taking a look. I was going for a rather different tone to Zipping It, and wanted to centre in on somebody who closely identifies as a brony and would appreciate life in Equestria.
Tomorrow will give you some more clues as to when it takes place.

One YouTuber (it might have been Sawtooth Waves or somebody else) speculated Twilight may suffer from OCD, but she does show quite a lot of standard attributes of people with ASD, such as religiously sticking to specific schedule (this is especially noticable in Seasons 1 and 2).
Personally, as an autistic person, I would love for the writers to add a character who canonically has the condition and is represented well.
11559714
Yes we are! Time for another month of pony adventures!

Hello folkies! New chapter's here!
11560314
Thanks immensely. I'll have my review up very soon. :-D
Hello again. Definitely appreciated the work going into the inner reflection, characterizations and future chapter set-up. Definitely liked "Sunny" looking through his/her belongings in the lighthouse (including the playful jab to certain episodes airing out of order and the attitudes toward the final season). And we just got our first difference from the actual movie on THIS end with "Sunny" grabbing the Earth pony crystal right away (even comparing it to a point-and-click adventure game). Also liked the reflections on where the music and back-up singers during the "Gonna Be My Day" song. Especially liked the observation concerning just how good of shape Sunny is actually in. This seems to indicate that the main characters are sharing the bodies with the ponies they're in the roles of instead of simply replacing them (memory muscle and all).
Most certainly looking forward to more of this.
nice chapter mate keep it up cant wait for the next chapter my godsister always sings 'Gonna be my Day on her way to school
11560336
Np.
11560362
That's so sweet! Nice to hear there are fellow G5 bronies/pegasisters out there.
11560343
Some of the approach to this is inspired by two different stories. One of those is It's Always Sunny in Equestria, a story about a G5 hater who finds himself transformed into Sunny and forced to live her life. Naturally, he tries to rush through the events as quickly as possible, with some segments resembling a player speeding through NPC dialogue.
The second story is Erm... Princess Luna?, written by a friend of mine. In that one, a human ends up as Luna some point before the events of the first season of FiM, and uses their knowledge to speed things up a bit.
I appreciate you spotted the reference to adventure games. Those were a big source of inspiration for me, even if knowing where everything is does rather reduce replay value.
And I'm amazed fewer people don't comment on Sunny's physical health. As noted, the girl's got stamina.
Still hard to believe she lost her father when she was young.
Good thinking.

1. Tragic indeed. Having said that, there's no denying the massive influence he had on her, and the restoration of the magic means that, in a sense, he emerged victorious. In that sense, Argyle will never truly die.
2. Rather like speedrunning a game, eh?
11560479
Mhm and yeah.
11560484
Rest assured things may go a bit differently to the film.
11560500
Got it, can't wait to see what you got planned.
11560521
Same here.
11561236
It takes place in the same continuity as Zipping It, actually. There are currrently four stories on the go that take place in this setting. I can link the others if you'd like.

New chapter, folks!
11559501
New chapter, BTW.
cool chapter mate
11561384
Thanks!
Your about to find out.
I could see Hitch rolling his eyes.*
That's gotta hurt.
https://m.I'd so slap her if I was there right now cause Sunny was telling the truth, nor was she poisoned!
Wait, how does she know her name already!?!
11561479
1. That she will.
2. Corrected.
3. I can assure you now it is pretty painful. And that's speaking from experience.
4 and 5. Phyllis doesn't know any better. She's been raised in this sort of mindset, and presumably had the same views drilled into her by her parents. To quote the film Mississippi Burning, "hatred isn't natural. It's taught."
6. You'll have to read Rebirth of Magic: Izzytastic to find out!
