The four ponies went to the airship that gladus used. It was way faster and bigger compared to the air balloon that Zipp and Hitch had to use. Zavala thanked Gambler for his help before they left. Now their way to Klurgtown is something that Zipp never heard but Hitch has. Sunny told him the story of how Twilight and her friends visit there. An unicorn that goes by the name Tempest Shadow with a villain name The Storm King. However the unicorn redeemed herself and became friends with Twilight Sparkle.
Hitch was looking out through the deck just thinking about redemption. There alway a way to help those are in need. "Hitch are you ok?" Zipp asked they're both looking at bright blue sky. "Oh yeah I was just thinking." Zipp got closer. "Thinking about what?" He chuckled and looked at Zipp. "I was just thinking of a story that Sunny told me.It was about unicorn that want her horn back by asking an evil king for help."
They both sat down together. "The unicorn was so desperate until twilight and her Friends help her redeem herself. She felt so happy to actually have friends, so she helped twilight defeat the Storm King."
He said looking at the sky.
"That sounds like an awesome story Hitch." Zipp said, which he agreed. Zavala is with Absol on the wheel of the ship, though Absol is still not sure about this plan. "Are you sure that I have to come." Zavala nodded at him. "Yes, because you need to reason your brother and Ron. They don't know what they got into."
Zavala then looked at Hitch and Zipp again they're laughing, it's cute to be honest but he has to tell Zipp of the danger ahead of her. An example of himself when he fell in love and lost. He doesn't want that experience to affect her. "Zipp!" Zipp and Hitch looked at him. "Can we talk in private?" He than looked at Hitch. "Hitch, Absol will take you and Zipps sleeping quarters." Absol raised an eyebrow. "I am?" Zavala looked at him. "Ok ok I'll do it. I'll set this to auto pilot." He then went to take Hitch to his personal quarters.
Zipp then went to Zavala. "Is there something you want to talk to me about Zavala?" Zavala then is going to tell her his experience of love. "Well Zipp it's more advice on the future." He said and he sat down along with Zipp. "When I was young I had a goal of solving cases. But the more experienced I've learned is that, it's hard to find somepony you love." Zipp raised an eyebrow. "There was a mare I met during my investigation on case of the missing diamond.
Her name was Gwendolyn, she was the most beautiful mare I've ever met ."
He looked down. "We both fell in love but one day she decided to go by herself to finally find the thief but in doing so she lost her life." He closes his eyes.
"Why are you telling me this?" Zipp ask, Zavala looked back at her. "Because it's dangerous to have relationship with somepony you love. I know you have feelings for Hitch but are really going to risk yours and his life?" She thought but still with determination. "Yes I am." She said, Zavala nodded. "Ok but no matter what happen always move on." He said in a serious tone.
Hitch than settle in his quarters or at least trying too. But before he can adjust his bed, Zipp came in. "Hey Zipp." She looked at him. "Hey Hitch, how are you liking the room?" She ask. "The room looks a bit rough but it's manageable." Hitch lay down on the bed. "Your bed is on top it's also like a bunkbed." Hitch pointed out, Zipp then went to her bed and put her covers over herself. But she still is thinking about the talk that Zavala and herself had.
"Hey Hitch can I ask you question?" As she looks up at the ceiling. "Umm sure, go ahead." Zipp took a deep breath. "How would you feel if somepony important to you was taken away from you? How would you react?" Hitch than had to think of answer. "Well for one thing I wouldn't be the same pony." He said.
"I would hunt down anypony for taking her away from me." He said, but he knows it's not right. "But I know in my heart it's not right and she wouldn't want that either." Hitch then looked up at her bunk. Zipp than felt satisfied on that answer. But he also meant by 'her' but who?
They both said good night and fell asleep, but Zipp she's smiles. They both sleep for two hours until it was 1:00am in the morning.
But a loud pump hit the ship. "What was that?!" Hitch said, Zipp woke up and got up. They both ran to the deck to see what's going on?.
"Absol!! What happened?!" Zavala said since he got there before they did. "What?! I just saw this place." He points at the forest they landed on. "I thought we are going to Klurgtown." Zavala said staring at him.
"We are!! I thought it would be nice to take back the mistakes I did." Absol said placing his hoof behind his back. Hitch then consider the nice gesture.
"Maybe we should take a break. Besides we need one." As he looks at Zipp. "Yeah I think so to Hitch." Zipp agreed, Zavala then looked at both at them. He rolled his eyes. "Fine! Let's at least take a break but I'm sleeping inside. So knock yourselves out." He went inside to sleep.
"Aww yeah!! I can finally find some
Coconuts brb!!" Absol then ran to the forest. Hitch then turn to Zipp. "Want to set up camp." He said smiling at Zipp and she nodded.
They both found a spot for them to camp at. A place that's surrounded by blue flowers and long trees. When they finished both Zipp and Hitch fell back to sleep in there tents. However, Zipp woke up to explore a little. So she slowly sneaked out. "Wow this place is beautiful I bet Pipp would love to live stream this." She take out her phone.
As she was taking her pictures, she started to scroll down the list of pictures. The picture she stumble upon is herself and her sister taking a picture together. She miss her sister and her friends. But after she put her phone away, she saw a beautiful river with a waterfall coming down. "Wow now this is amazing. Hmm I wonder." She sniff herself. "Whoa I do stink. I guess it's right for me to groom myself." She said to proceed to take a bath.
Hitch than woke up to go get some water, until when he saw Zipps tent empty. "Huh?! where did Zipp go?" He put his glass of water down. "I hope shes ok, i better look for her." He went out.
For a few minutes he's been looking around for her until he heard a splash. He found the river that Zipp was at. He peaked and sees her bathing herself from the waterfall stream. She moan in pleasure feeling the nice and cold water all over body. She open her wings to feel the water splash all over them. Hitch couldn't help but stare at her beauty.
The way she opens and flaps her wings, the colors on her mane. "Should I tell her how I feel?" Thats the question in his mind. So he peak again and notice that Zipp is not there. "Huh! She was here a second ago." Until she popped up in front of him. *Splash*the water was all over his face. "Hey Hitch, peaking are we?" Hitch than was blushing bright red, Zipp made a smirk.
"Umm no Zipp!! It's not what you think." He said in a panic. "I just wanted to find you and here you are." He said, Zipp then leaned a little closer to him. "You want to join me?" She said with smile and puppy eyes. "Uhh well I don't know if that's fine with you." He blushed again, but Hitch never experienced something like this before.
Zipp began to do something fun, she grabbed his hoof for him to fall in the water with her. "Ahhh!" He splash in the water. "Hey!! That was not fair! I wasn't ready!" Zipp then got closer and smirked. "Oh really sheriff, what are you gonna do about it?" Hitch then smirked at her and started to have fun by splashing water at her.
"Hey! haha!" She splashed back at him. "Oh yeah!! Right back at ya!" They laughed, but the more they play around with each other. Zipp then is about to jump on him and she did and fell on his hooves. They both laughed for a while until they both looked at each other.
They locked eyes for second then the big moment happened. Zipp leaned in and kissed him, which Hitch was surprised by the gesture. Zipp finally did it she kissed him, her lips in his it feels so blissful. Zipp then finished her kiss and saw Hitches face shocked. "Oh my celestia I didn't mean to.." she was panicking, try to explain but she may have blown it.
She looked down in sadness."Im sorry Hitch I didn't mean to kiss you like that. I understand if you don't—." She didn't get to finish her sentence because Hitch then leaned in and kissed her. Now it's her turn being shocked. She then felt relax as she returned the kiss.
The moment their lips touched it was like fireworks were going off inside their souls, it's unlike anything Hitch or Zipp had ever experienced before. A few more moments Hitch pulled away and is ready to tell her how he feels.
"Zipp for a while now I have had these feelings, feelings that I never had before." He looked at her. "But then you came in to my life and to be honest I'm happy that we met." He laughed a little. "I've also figured that you had a crush on me." Zipp blushed at that. "But what I am trying to say is." He took a deep breath. "I love you Zipp." He smiled at her.
Zipp is aesthetic that Hitch said "I love you" to her. She hoping that she be the one to say it. But no he did! Hitch is in love with her. "I love you to Hitch. I always wanted to say that." But a thought came up. "But what if my mom doesn't approve of this?" Hitch thought about it. "I think your mom would allow it." He said.
Zipp is still thinking about it, but Hitch then place a hoof under her chin. He raised her head up. "Hey let's not worry about right now. Let's just enjoy each other's presence." He said, Zipp nodded. "I would like that." Zipp smiled.
They both got back to the camp and well Hitch never left her side. Hitch then came up with an idea for them to sleep together in the same camp. "Let's sleep together." He said.
Zipp loved that idea. "Now that's a good idea." She kissed his cheek. Hitch than made bigger tent for them to sleep in. The moment he was finished. Hitch than gestured the tent. "Ta da!!" Zipp then laughed but impressed. "Not bad sheriff but let get some sleep." She said, which Hitch nodded. "After you princess." He bowed.
Zipp then played along with the gesture. "Such a gentleman Mr. Trailblazer." They both laughed and they went inside the tent. They cuddled and sleep together with smile. Let's just say that it's the greatest day of their lives but dangerous one. But love is strong for both of them and a strong power has risen.
