Just outside Zephyr Heights around the area of the same cliff side where Thomas, Sunny and Izzy met Princess Zipp Storm, two fluffy bunnies were minding their own business, eating away at some grass sprouting out from the cracks of the ground, when suddenly, a hoof gripped onto the cliff side, causing the two bunnies to run off with a small yelp. Turns out the source of the hoof was none other than the sheriff of Maretime Bay himself, Hitch Trailblazer, who had just recently embarked on a journey to bring Sunny, Thomas and Izzy to justice.

With all of his strength, Hitch quickly pulled his body up and finally making a landing on the cliff side. Once the sheriff was on solid ground, he allowed himself a moment to take a break, all the while panting and grunting, as if he had been doing this for a very long time. Luckily, Hitch wasn't alone as the two bunnies returned and both of them stopped by either side of Hitch. As he looked up in confusion about his new fuzzy visitors, they both cuddled him cutely, much to his chagrin. But then, he noticed something in the distance, a bumper sticker of a unicorn in a heart-shape, presumably left behind by Sunny.

"Litter!" He declared as he got up. "I mean, a clue." He corrected himself, but then, as if the sticker wasn't enough clues left behind, Hitch also found a strain of hair hung on a twig. "Hmmm... Unicorn hair." He pondered.

Finally, the last clue was a blue feather on the ground, Hitch picked up and gave it a small lick as he smacked his lips, just to let the taste sink in.

"Pegasi." He muttered under his breath as he walked off, with the fluffy bunnies following behind. "Track's gone cold." Hitch said, pressing his head up against the ground, before quickly getting back up. "Sunny, Sunny, Sunny, Sunny. You think you've escaped?" He asked himself rhetorically. "Well, think again. I will not eat! I will not sleep! Well, maybe a quick nap and snack if I can't find you in the next few hours, BUT! After that, nothing will stop me!"

When Hitch had finished his speech, all of the bunnies had gathered around the sheriff, clapping their ears together, cheering at such conviction.

"Oh. Thank you. Thank you." Hitch chuckled. "No, no, you're too kind. ALSO!"

As soon as Hitch continued, the bunnies stopped cheering, all except for one, who hadn't noticed that the clapping had stopped, but soon was told when the bunny next to him shushed him, which her quickly obliged.

"I'll follow you wherever you go! Whether harshest deserts, the coldest tundras, no trail too dangerous, no clue too small!"

Suddenly, as the clouds slowly faded away, all the bunnies noticed something behind Hitch, and that something turned to be a news report of the recently assumed fugitives, which were none other than Thomas, Sunny and Izzy. However, Hitch was only after two of them. Since they knew that Hitch was after the ponies right behind her, they tried to tell him by squeaking at him, trying desperately to inform him about it, but he seemed to preoccupied with his speech.

"The past matters not! It's justice-" Before his speech could continue, he finally noticed that the bunnies were trying to tell him something. "What? What?" He groaned, upset that they ruined his speech.

The bunnies then gestured over to behind them, Hitch looked back to see the news report as clear as day. "Gotcha!" He said proudly, having a pretty good feeling on where they were.

As hitch begin to head to zephyr heights, he noticed a green pegasi.

"THOMAS?! He's here?! I have to find him!" said the pegasi and hurried to zephyr heights.

"Wait, that pegasi knows that blue unicorn?" Hitch asked himself.

As he followed the pegasi, he stopped to see a portal appeared behind him. Hitch turned around and out of the portal was a earth pony mare, she have emerald green fur with green mane and tail, green eyes and the number 12 on her cutie mark.

"Where am I?" Said the earth pony.

"Are you ok ma'am?" Hitch asked.

The earth pony mare shocked to see hitch.

"Who are you?" She asked.

"I'm sheriff hitch, and you are?" said hitch introduce himself.

"I'm Emily" said the mare known as Emily.

"How did you get here?" Hitch asked.

"I can't remember, all I can remember is that I'm looking for my friends Thomas and Percy" Emily explained.

"I think I know where they are" said hitch

"You do?" Emily asked.

"Yes but they're at zephyr heights with my friend sunny with the other unicorn but we need to blend in as pegasi" hitch replied.

"Really, thank you" said Emily.

Soon hitch and emily head to zephyr heights to track down sunny, Izzy, Thomas and Percy.
