Chapter 3: Aaron vs. Sprout

Sunny allowed Aaron and the Young 6 to stay in the Crystal Brighthouse until they can get back home. Aaron, Gallus and Sandbar were sleeping in the living room area while Smolder, Ocellus, Silverstream and Yona were sleeping in the bedroom area with Sunny, Izzy, Pipp, Zipp and Misty.

Sparky was wanting to stay with Aaron and Smolder, but Hitch kept him from leaving his side until they got back to the Sheriff's Station. That is until the next morning that Sparky had got out of the station through a window. Getting the attention of Sprout Cloverleaf.

"Huh," Sprout said. "Oh, that Sparky." He then sighed. "I might as well get him back to the Sheriff's Station before Hitch wakes up." He then grumbled. "How come everypony likes him more than me?" He then started chasing Sparky.

Sparky noticed this and started running towards the Brighthouse faster. Eventually, Sparky made it to the Brighthouse. He tried getting in through the front door, but it was locked. So, he looked around and saw that the window to the left was cracked open. He then started flying towards the window and flew in through it.

Sprout saw that and sighed. He then said, "Not today, Sparky." He then stomped his hoof, which was glowing green, and a vine came out of the ground and it went through the window. The vine then went over towards the door, unlocked it, and then Sprout went in through the door. "Okay, Sparky. Time to..." He then saw where Sparky went to. He saw that Sparky was getting onto the couch, where Aaron was sleeping. Also in the living room were Gallus and Sandbar, both of them sleeping in sleeping bags and on top of camping mats. Sprout then screamed, waking up the three sleeping boys in the living room. "Monsters!" He then ran towards the Brighthouse entrance.

Aaron, Gallus and Sandbar looked at the door and saw Sprout heading towards the door.

"Sprout?!" Aaron asked. "Oh, you have got to be kidding me."

Sprout then stopped and said, "Wait a minute! I got plant magic!" He then stomped his hoof as it was glowing green. Then vines came out of the ground and headed towards Aaron and Gallus, trapping the two.

"Whoa! Hey!" Gallus shouted.

"C#*%!" Aaron said. When he swore, a Hasbro logo came over his mouth and a sound effect of a car horn going off covered up the word. "Huh. So that's what happens when you actually swear in Equestria."

"Stay away from me, monsters!" Sprout said. "I won't let you attack Maretime Bay!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Gallus said, waving his talons around. "We're not here to attack!"

"You lie!" Sprout said. He then made the vine that was holding Gallus extend and head into the bedroom where the girls were staying. Which woke up all of them when he crashed into the elevator.

"Gallus?!" Sunny asked, her mane completely messy.

"Sunny, that red stallion just attacked us," Gallus said.

"Red stallion?" Sunny asked. She then gasped. "Sprout." Then she grabbed her mane brush and fixed up her mane and put on the rubber bands in her mane. She then headed for the vine that held Gallus back and used her Earth Pony magic to get the vine off of Gallus. Then all of them headed out the door. They say Sandbar trying to get Sprout to let Aaron go.

"C'mon, man," Sandbar said. "They didn't do anything wrong."

"Nothing wrong yet," Sprout said. He then slapped Sandbar, making the rest of the Young 6 gasp.

Yona got angry and shouted, "That Yona's coltfriend!" She then jumped down towards the ramp yelling and charged at Sprout, surprising him, and making him get rammed out of the Brighthouse.

"Gaaaah!" Sprout cried out. He then got up and ran towards town.

"Maybe... we should inform everypony about these guys immediately," Zipp said.

"Pipp, get your phone," Aaron said as he was coming down thanks to Sunny.

"Like you have to tell me," Pipp said, bringing her phone out from under her wing. She held it out in front of her and started live streaming.

Pipp started live streaming across Equestria, and already, she was getting so many comments, likes and hearts from all her fans. Along with Queen Haven, Alphabittle, the Pippsqueak Trio, and even Hitch who just woke up.

"Good morning, all my Pippsqueaks. Pipp Petals here with a special announcement. In fact, this a surprise for us as well. We have gotten some visitors who haven't been seen in Equestria for a long, long time. We got seven young heroes from the time of Twilight Sparkle."

She then showed Aaron and the Young 6. They nodded when each of their names was said.

"We got Gallus, the griffon. Silverstream, the hippogriff. Yona, the yak. Ocellus, the Changeling. Sandbar, the young Earth pony. Smolder, the orange dragon. And their group leader, Aaron Blazer, the jade dragon." Pipp then came into the screen. "They have all time-traveled from the past, still don't know how it happened exactly, and they need our help to get them back to their own time. They do not mean us any harm, so do not be scared. Unlike a certain red stallion we all know."

Then an image of Sprout came on the screen thanks to Zipp with her phone. She then said, "He already came in here and attacked them, calling them monsters. He is such a scaredy pony."

"If anypony in Maretime Bay sees Sprout, tell him that there's nothing to worry about. So, anyway, that's all I have to say this morning. TTYL, my Pippsqueaks. Pipp Pipp Hooray!" She then ended the live stream.

Pipp was looking at her phone seeing how many likes and comments her live stream was getting.

"Wow!" Pipp said. "So many likes and comments from that live stream. I guess everypony was watching." Just then, Hitch came into the Brighthouse.

"Sparky!" Hitch called out. "Sparky, are you here?!"

Just then, Smolder came up to him, holding Sparky. She then said, "You really need to keep an eye on him." She then handed Sparky to Hitch, but Sparky was holding onto Smolder tightly. "Hey! Let go, Sparky."

"I got this, Smolder," Hitch said. He then tickled Sparky's sides, making him giggle and let go of Smolder. Hitch then grabbed Sparky and put the baby dragon on his back. "You can't run away like that, Sparky. You got that, bud?"

Sparky looked towards Hitch with a little upset look. He then looked towards Aaron and Smolder. He then tried jumping off, but Hitch kept the baby dragon on his back.

"Okay, so if ponies can't stop Sprout from panicking, what are we gonna do?" Misty asked.

"I'm sure he won't overreact," Hitch said.

"The last time I seen him overreact, he turned all the Earth Ponies into an angry mob and started going into terrorism," Aaron said. "And that was the movie that debuted G5."

"Wait, that whole adventure the five of us went on was a part of a movie?" Hitch asked. He then put a hoof on his chin. "Actually, that would make a good start of a series." Sunny, Izzy, Pipp and Zipp nodded in agreement.

"Although, in the movie, they used different voice actors and actresses," Aaron said. "And, coincidentally, Smolder met one of them after the opening night of the school play."

"Oh, yeah, Sofia Carson," Smolder said. "She voiced Pipp in the movie."

"Really?" Pipp asked. "Huh. That must've been a huge surprise."

"Tell me about it," Smolder said. Just then, the place started shaking. "Hold on. What is going on?"

Aaron, the Young 6, the new Mane 6 and Sparky headed for the door and they saw a huge machine coming towards the Brighthouse.

"You have got to be kidding me," Aaron said.

"What is that?" Misty asked.

"That was the machine that Sprout was going to use on Unicorns and Pegasi even after we told him that there was currently no magic active," Sunny said. "He destroyed my home before we rebuilt it into the Brighthouse." Aaron then started walking forward towards the machine. "Aaron, what are you doing?"

Sprout was piloting his machine, Sprouticus Maximus, towards the Brighthouse, saying, "Time to end these monsters before they cause any harm!" He then saw Aaron coming right towards him. Sprout then smirked. "Oh, so you wanna be taken out first, huh? Alright. You're done first, dragon."

The Young 6, the new Mane 6 and Sparky watched Aaron walk towards the machine. The new Mane 6 were all getting worried. But the Young 6 knew what was coming.

Smolder then brought out a sleeping mask and put it over Sparky's eyes, saying, "You're not gonna want to see this."

"See what?" Hitch asked.

"Yo, Aaron," Gallus called out. "Now might be a good time for you to get greedy."

Aaron turned around, chuckled and said, "You read my mind, Gallus." He then turned back towards Sprouticus Maximus, and gave off a glare. "Aaron want." Then he started getting bigger. He had already gotten a little bigger than the machine that Sprout was driving.

"Huh?!" Sprout asked. Before Sprout could react, Aaron had slapped Sprouticus Maximus from his left side, making the machine fall on its left side, unable to get up. Sprout shouted in surprise as the machine fell over on its left side.

Aaron then shrunk back down to his normal size and landed on the ground. The Young 6, the new Mane 6 and Sparky ran over towards him. Sunny then asked, "How did you do that?!"

"All dragons can do that," Aaron said.

"Really?!" Hitch asked. He then looked back at Sparky. "Even Sparky?"

"He has to be a little older for the Greed Induced Bigness to start taking effect," Smolder said.

"Greed Induced Bigness?!" the new Mane 6 all asked in unison.

"Okay, we definitely have to prepare for that when Sparky gets older," Zipp said, the rest of the new Mane 6 nodding in agreement. Just then, Sprout bucked the windshield out and headed towards Aaron in anger. He then tried punching Aaron, but Aaron ducked, making Sprout trip over the jade dragon, landing on his face.

Aaron then got up and said, "Seriously. You never learn, do you?"

"Well, I know that I can't let evil creatures like you stop us!" Sprout said, getting up. He then tried punching Aaron again, but Aaron grabbed Sprout's hoof and flipped the Earth Pony over and he landed on his back. "Gah!" Aaron then stepped on Sprout's back, making sure that Sprout doesn't get up.

"And you wonder why you were in trouble since you destroyed Sunny's lighthouse," Aaron said. "Property damage, assault on unarmed ponies, terrorism..."

"Oooh!" Sunny, Hitch, Izzy, Pipp and Zipp all said in unison.

"That's a good point," Hitch said. "He did do all those things."

"I was the sheriff at the time!" Sprout said.

"Until Hitch got back, and you still thought you were in charge," Aaron said. "And you thought that you were above the law. No one is above the law."

"You sure seem to know about how the law works," Hitch said.

"That's because his aunt is dating a cop," Smolder said. "Wait. Scratch that. She's engaged to a cop."

"Oh, that's good," Hitch said. He then walked up to Sprout. "Pipp just made a public announcement that these creatures are not here to hurt us. They all came here yesterday."

"They did?!" Sprout asked.

"Yeah," Hitch said. "These guys are actually heroes from the time of Twilight Sparkle. They just ended up here without any knowledge of how it happened. And since you were attempting to assault them, I have no other choice. Sprout, you shall spend the next 30 days behind bars."

"WHAT?!" Sprout shouted. "Hitch, you can't just..." Aaron then picked Sprout up and put the Earth Pony over his right shoulder.

"Never thought I'd see the new Earth Pony Magic up close," Aaron said. "Weirder than how Earth Pony Magic was back in our time."

"Wait, there was Earth Pony Magic?" Sunny asked. "And it wasn't plant magic?"

"Technically, a lot of Earth Pony magic was used in farming," Aaron said.

"Well, what do Earth Ponies gang from farming?" Zipp asked.

Aaron then put Sprout down so he could bring out his computer from the computer bag that Gallus was carrying and start typing on it. It then showed a picture of Applejack holding back a rolling boulder with her hind legs.

"Super strength," Aaron said, showing the image to the new Mane 6.

"Whoa!" the new Mane 6 said in unison.

"We could've done that?!" Hitch asked. "Man, our history books were so wrong!"

"Well, Izzy was right about the smelly part of Earth Ponies," Aaron said.

"I was?" Izzy asked. Sunny then gave a deadpanned expression.

"Working on a farm causes you to sweat, and gives you all a lot of body odor," Aaron said.

"Oh, that actually makes sense," Sunny said. "Working out causes you to sweat and stink."

"Alright, let's get Sprout to his prison cell," Hitch said.

"After that, meet us at the Boardtrot," Sunny said. "After what you all went through, you deserve to have some fun."

"Boardtrot?" Aaron asked. "The heck's a Boardtrot?" All Sunny did was smirk.

Author's Note

Okay, the votes will be tallied up for the next episode. Hopefully, Aaron and the Young 6 will enjoy some time at the Boardtrot. See you all next time.
