Thomas and Izzy followed sunny to the lighthouse.

"So this is where sunny lives" Thomas thought.

Sunny readjusted the crooked picture next to the door and closed all of the curtains in the room so that nobody would be able to peek through. She then whipped her head around to take a real good look at Izzy and Thomas, who was still smiling from ear to ear, sunny couldn't believe that a real life unicorns are in her house. As she continued to stare at her in disbelief, Izzy finally caught wind on what was going on.

"Do Earth ponies also like staring contests?" She asked, before she started to stare really hard at Sunny Starscout, up to the point where they were almost touching noses, but after a while, she ended up losing the contest. "Ah! You win! I blinked!"

Finally finding her voice, Sunny exclaimed, "There're unicorns in my house!" She then excitedly screamed, "This is so cool!" She turned to both Izzy and Thomas, before realizing the predicament she's in. "Wait, no, it's bad, very, very bad. What have I done?"

"Well, you help us escape from the law and not listening to the officer of the law, you know I mean" said Thomas.

"Wow! I've never seen an Earth pony before." Izzy said as she stared into a telescope nearby. "We look exactly the same! Except for this, of course." She then gestured to her unicorn horn.

"Whoa! Hey! Be careful where you point that thing." Sunny said cautiously after Izzy got a bit too close to her.

"Why?" She asked.

"You probably stab somepony in the eye" said Thomas.

"But of course you both know that already. [chuckles] You both probably been reading my mind this whole time." Suddenly, she noticed something rather odd about Izzy and Thomas's horn. "Isn't it supposed to glow, by the way? Or does that only happen when you both levitate stuff?"

"Well, actually..." Izzy laughed nervously, shifting her eyes around the room, but before she could explain, she was interrupted by Sunny.

"Wait! Don't answer that yet. Let me get my notebook!" Sunny then ran over to the counter in the kitchen, pulling out her notebook from one of the drawers. "Okay, wow. Okay." She exhaled as she opened the notebook. "A hundred forty-two questions for a unicorn". Question number one - where do you live?"

"Bridlewood." Izzy replied.

"Far away." Thomas replied as well

"I knew it!" Sunny exclaimed, before continuing to ask her questions in a rather fast pace. "Do unicorns really live in trees? Do they eat pizza? If so, what toppings do they like? If not, why not? Can you actually fry pony brains with a single horn zap?" She then stopped asking questions and gasped as she noticed a can of beans nearby, knocking it over to Izzy. "Can you two make this float?"

Izzy looked at the can of beans for a brief moment, before looking back up at Sunny with a sad look on her face. "No... but I can do this." She then proceeded to fling the can right onto her horn, bouncing it in the air like a basketball. Eventually, she bounced it one more time, causing it to hit the ground as beans splattered all over the floor. "Ta-daaaaa!"

"Wait. You don't have any magic?" Sunny asked in a sudden sad tone.

But before Sunny could get an answer, they hear hitch's voice on the megaphone.

Sunny Starscout!" Hitch shouted, before he recoiled from the feedback of the megaphone. "Argh, that hurt."

Sunny Starscout trotted to a window, looking out to see Hitch, shouting into a megaphone, with Deputy Sprout wearing one of the anti-mind-reading unicorn hat, and cowering behind the sheriff.

"Sunny Starscout," Hitch resumed. "I know you're in there with those unicorns! Come out with your hooves up and surrender!"

"Yeah, you're completely surrounded," Deputy Sprout added, despite the fact that there were only two of them.

"Will you let me do my job?" Hitch asked sternly, to which Sprout pouted. "You are under arrest," The sheriff barked.

"This is bad," Sunny moaned, before turning to Thomas and Izzy. "How sneaky are you two?"

"Er, medium sneaky," Izzy guessed.

"Very sneaky," Thomas confirmed.

"I can work with that," Sunny perked. "OK, I'll distract them."

Izzy simply scoffed at the notion, "Relax, I'll talk to him!"

"Izzy!" Thomas shouted.

"No, no!" Sunny held her hoof out.

But it was too late, Izzy was already out the door, "Hi, guys," Izzy greeted. "Now, I know what you're thinking."

Unfortunately, that rubbed the stallions the wrong way. The red coward in particular.

"Arrgh! She's already reading our minds!" Deputy Sprout shrieked, before he turned and ran away. "Quick, before she fries our brains!"

"What are you doing? Where are you going?" Hitch asked his runaway deputy.

"To get reinforcements!" Sprout answered, after being a mile away.

"We have reinforcements?" However, when Hitch's back was turned, Sunny snuck off with Izzy and Thomas following. "Huh?" When Hitch turned around, he was dumbstruck to see that the two mares and one stallion were out of sight. "Oh come on!"

Now finally making their way out of Maretime Bay, they were beginning to quickly run out of breath, but they had to get out of there, otherwise, they would've been thrown in jail. Seeing that they were officially in the clear, Sunny decided to get the answer to the question that she never received.

"You both don't have any magic?" She panted.

"Nope." Came Izzy's reply.

Sunny and Thomas both suddenly screeched to a halt.

"No magic?" Sunny asked herself in disbelief.

"but if it makes you guys feel any better, we did have it, but that was many, many, many months ago." Izzy explained. "It just - poof - disappeared. Everypony thinks the pesky Pegasi had something to do with it and..." Before Izzy could continue her explanation, she noticed that Sunny was now in a state of shock and confusion.

"O-Oh. Hey, you look like kinda woozy. Are you okay?" Izzy asked with conern.

"Huh, I am on the run with two unicorns who has no magic." Sunny said, now realising her predicament. "What are we gonna do?"

As Thomas was about to say something, but Izzy suddenly went up towards Sunny and began to sniff her, much to her confusion.

"What are you doing?" She wondered, slowly turning her head around to face Izzy.

"You don't smell." Izzy remarked.

"Thanks. Wait what?" Sunny said, but quickly caught on to what Izzy had just said.

"Um.. come again?" Thomas asked, also a bit confused.

"I was told all you Earth ponies smell like rotten sardines, but you do not. Hmm." Izzy shrugged, before getting distracted by a butterfly, but Sunny was still a bit confused and decided to get some more information.

"What else do unicorns say about Earth ponies?" Sunny asked, now curious to learn more.

"Oh, just that you're lazy and not the brightest crystals in the forest." Izzy replied, still focused on the butterfly.

"Charmimg." Sunny groaned sarcastically.

"Nope, just those three." Izzy said in a chipper voice. "So, what's the plan?"

Sunny puzzled over this for a moment before answering. "Wait. I've got it! Izzy, Thomas, we're going on a quest... to Zephyr Heights."

Right as she said that, Sunny pulled out an old fashioned book from her saddlebag and presented it in front of Izzy and Thomas, it was some sort of map, but then Sunny pointed a hoof towards a location on the map called Zephyr Heights.

"The Pegasus city?" Izzy perplexed.

"Yes. We need to find out what happened to your magic and bring it back." Sunny declared. "They have magic. Maybe they can help."

"Huh, that's actually not a bad idea." Thomas thought, but Izzy didn't look too sure of the idea herself.

"Uh, but the Pegasi are bad news." She said cautiously.

"What if you're wrong about them? Earth ponies were wrong about unicorns. They could welcome us with open wings." Sunny hypothesized.

"But what if they don't?" Izzy said worriedly.

(Izzy)
Up ahead is a sky growing dark.
Where it leads is a big question mark.
And I'm scared that I'll end up
A pony gone missing from Pegasus-ing,

(Sunny)
But you're not alone!
You got a pony in your crew.

(Izzy)
I do, who?

(Sunny)
I'm lookin' out for you
When you're off track-
I got your back.
You can rely on me
I'm lookin' out for you.

Back at home, it was "earth ponies first."
Heard it so many times, I could burst.
And I fought a change,
But it's lonely, cause, you know--
Party of uno.

(Izzy)
Well, if you need a friendly steed
Like you-know-who..

(Sunny)
I think I do!

(Thomas)
Me too!

(Sunny, Izzy and Thomas)
I'm lookin' out for you

(Sunny)
When you're off track
I got your back

(Sunny, Izzy and Thomas)
You can rely on me.
I'm lookin' out for you

(Sunny)
Lost in the hills?

(Izzy and Thomas)
We got the skills.

(Izzy)
Pony, let's get goin'!

(Sunny)
Get goin'!

(Thomas)
Get goin'!

(Sunny, Izzy and Thomas)
I'm lookin' out--!
For you!

"So zephyr heights is on top of that mountain?" Thomas asked.

"That's right but we'll camp here for the night" said sunny.

Soon the three friends camp for the night and Thomas was the last one to fall asleep, he started to have feelings about sunny and started to fall in love with her because she reminds him of himself. Soon Thomas was fast asleep.
