Five colorful ponies were standing in front of the IDW Publishing building in San Diego. One of them held in her hooves a sheet on which the address was indicated.
- It seems we are here – said an apricot-orange earth pony with maroon hooves and white orange socks on all hooves. Her mane is purplish purple and tied back into a braid with aquamarine elastic bands. Her tail has no braiding and is of average length. She has emerald green eyes and dark purple eyebrows. She wears a blue bag, on which on one side there is a relief cute mark of Twilight Sparkle. The strap has pins with cute Twilight's, Fluttershy's and Rainbow Dash signs. Her beauty mark is a pink star with a blue trace. There are two smaller stars on the front side of the big one.
- Hurrah! - Izzy was delighted. She is a lilac unicorn with dark blue hooves, a wavy blue mane and an indigo-ombre tail. She has purple eyes, purple eyebrows and a long powdery blue horn with white swirls. She wore a headband and a friendship bracelet made of massive blue, pink and purple beads. Her beauty mark is a purple heart with a blue button in the center. On the front side of the heart there are three sewing pins: two pink and one purple. She was overjoyed to have come to this place.
-It took us many hours to get here by plane from Pawtucket to Los Angeles, - said a light pink pegasus with golden hooves, legs of a slight gradation in lighter pink feathers. Her wings are fluffy and white and made of large, soft feathers. Her purple mane is wavy and swept to one side, and her tail is of medium length. She has green kiwi eyes and purple eyebrows. She wears a golden headdress/tiara with a green gemstone and golden wheat. Unlike all ponies, she was somewhat plump and small. Her beauty mark is a deep purple musical note with white bulbs. The motif of the yellow crown is depicted in the interior of a musical note.
-Come on, Pipp, - Zip said irritably. She is a white pegasus with silver hooves. Her wings have light blue and lavender feathers and are quite long. Her mane is bright pink with aqua and pink streaks, resembles gel-like hair. Its tail is similarly colored and has an average length. She has turquoise blue eyes and pink eyebrows. Her beauty mark is a pink and blue zipper with a yellow crown on top.
While the four girls were talking, a light amber earth pony with chocolate-brown hooves, various white markings - white socks on its feet, a white belly and a white flame, looked at the terrain. He has a short, aqua-green mane and a medium-length tail, amber eyes and light brown eyebrows. He is wearing a golden belt with a horseshoe emblem around his chest. His beauty mark is a golden shield with a teal horseshoe in the center. There are two teal hearts on the bottom on both sides of the shield. He was nervous since he was here on the first day. Soon Sunny spoke:
- Well, let's see what we have on the program.
She took the letter out of the bag and opened it. She began to read:
,,Dear new generation ponies,
We invite you to the IDW Publishing building on the occasion of the launch of a comic book series based on your film. There you will not only learn about the launch of the comic, but also get acquainted with our composition and the company's past..."
While Sunny read the invitation, Hitch continued to survey the area. Soon he heard someone shouting. He thought that someone had been in trouble. But when he arrived, it turns out that the screams came from the post office. Hitch walked in and saw the scene. There's a humanoid tenrec of medium height, shaking the poor postman by his clothes. She had bright green fur with a patch of black fur on her face and eyelids and angular blue-green eyes. She has a peach-colored muzzle with an average length of black nose, inverted sideburns on each side of her head, peach-skinned arms and several spiky feathers, which she holds in her tail with a black hairband with six metal studs on top of her head, leaving her feathers turned forward. She also has a tuff for her tail, prominent shark teeth and high, vertical and flat ears on top of her head. She wore two metal earrings on each of her ears, a black shirt with the sleeves torn off, white gloves that have a visible lining with black cuffs that have six metal studs, a metal ring on each of her index and ring fingers and yellow baggy trousers with black stripes on the sides that are held by a black belt with a metal round buckle. Her shoes have yellow highlights with double spikes to make them look like they give them a ragged look, while the back of the shoes is white. Two white straps can be found on the yellow section of the shoe, which also has black toes, black soles with two metal plates and metal studs at the edges.
Next to her stood an anthropomorphic fennec as tall as a child. It has mainly Argentine blue fur with a patch of white fur on the front of the body, which is shaped like a drop of water, and a medium-length white muzzle with pointed cheek tuffs and a small black nose. He also has fuchsia eyes that sometimes glow, blue eyelids, long bangs of fur on his head, and long triangular ears on his head with blue tips that hang down the sides of his head. Finally, he has a long, thick tail with a blue tip. He was wearing something resembling a backpack, white gloves that have a visible lining with black cuffs that are dotted with gray stilettos, and yellow boots with black toes and soles, as well as six gray stilettos lining the tongues of said shoes. There was an expression of neutrality in the situation on his face.
But on the other hand, the green tenrec continued to shake the postman, shouting:
- HAVE YOU LOST MY PACKAGE!?
- Ma'am... - the postman began to pronounce, - We... can... fix everything... and...
- FIX IT, FIX IT?!- she screamed with rage and began to sparkle with electricity. – YES, YOU KNOW THAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAMN PACKAGE SINCE DECEMBER!
While all this was happening, Hitch stood aside in horror from it. Soon he was noticed by fennec, who was standing with a neutral expression all the time. Hitch noticed it too and waved at him with a fake smile and he ran away.
Meanwhile…
The girls were inside the building and looking at the map.
- Wow, how many different locations, - said Izzy, - I've tried it in this place!
She pointed her hoof at the Star Trek location.
-Um, Izzy, - Sunny said to her, - We're not here for entertainment, but for a very important matter.
- I remember, - Izzy replied, - But it's so cool here!
Zipp was looking at the map as well as everyone else. Soon she was attracted to one location - Sonic the hedgehog.
- Hmm, I wonder what kind of location is this? - she asked herself.
Suddenly she saw a man walking somewhere. She went up to her and asked:
- Hello, this is my first time here. Can I ask you something?
- Yes, - he replied, - Are you talking about our staff?
-Yes, - she said, - But do you know this... well... about Sonic the hedgehog?
- Oh, yes, - he replied, - We have been doing this for a long time since 2018. Our company made a deal with Sega after canceling his line of comics from Archie. Soon in June there will be a 50th anniversary issue…
- Thanks for the information, - Zipp thanked, - But what about his main character…
- Sonic himself is the main character, - he replied, - But there are many characters in the ego universe and each of them is interesting in its own way. So are their abilities.
- Abilities? - Zipp asked
- One of the most primitive is considered to be Sonic's superpower, - he continued, - He is the fastest thing alive in the world.
- The fastest creature? – She thought, - That's interesting!
- Zipp!
She turned in the direction of the voice and saw her friends coming up to her.
- Have you talked to an employee? - Sunny asked
-Yes, - Zipp replied, - About one location.
-Guys, - Izzy said suddenly, - Has anyone seen Hitch?
Soon everyone heard that the glass door was open and Hitch came into the building.
-Hitch, where have you been all this time? - Sunny asked
-I saw a scene in the post office - Hitch began, but Pipp interrupted him.
-Hitch, we're not up to your excuses. – she said
-Pipp! - an angry Zipp shouted at her sister.
Suddenly they heard a voice behind them:
-Welcome to IDW!
Everyone turned and saw a man in a business suit.
- Hello, I understand you are Mr. ... - Sunny began, approaching him.
-Just call me Jerry, - he said, - I take it you're a new generation pony?
-The same ones, - Sunny replied.
-Well, nice to meet you, Miss Starscout, - Jerry said.
- Wait, how do you know our names? - Sunny asked, confused.
- The president of Hasbro wrote to me in the mail about you. – Jerry explained.
- Everything is clear - Zipp thought to herself.
-Well, are you ready to travel around this building? - he asked.
- We're ready! – they all said in unison.
- Then gotta go fast! - Jerry said loudly and the ponies followed him. But Hitch sensed that someone was watching him.
Soon…
They reached one door, which had the inscription:
Room for writers
Jerry stood next to the door.
-This is a room reserved for screenwriters, - he said, - If you want to explore the room, I'll let you.
- Thank you! - Sunny said before she opened the door.
The ponies went inside. It was a room with a white floor and blue walls. The ceiling was dark blue. There were tables here, on which there were computers. There were also chairs, a coffee machine, cupboards, etc. This room was all empty.
- Where are all the screenwriters? - Sunny asked Jerry.
-It's their day off, - Jerry said.
-I see, - Sunny said.
All the ponies began to study the items and equipment in the room. Soon, after examining everything, they left the room and closed the door.
After that, they passed through the entire building. Along the way, they looked at the rooms of comic book artists, letterings and editors. The last stops were the rest rooms and the dining room.
-These are our last stops for today, - Jerry announced, - these are the restrooms and the dining room. Here you can relax and eat…
His words were drowned out by Izzy's thoughts.
-Oh man, how boring, - she thought to herself, - How I want real fun…
Suddenly, an idea popped into her head.
-Maybe, - Izzy thought, - I'll go to these locations.
She walked away from the group and quietly went somewhere.
Soon…
Ponies walked around the dining room and the recreation room. Jerry went off on business, leaving them. Pipp turned on the stream.
- Hello, my dear fans! – She began, - Pipp Petals is with you, and my friends and I are in the building of the company that will produce comics about us. This is a pretty good event this year, despite the most terrible lives happening under our noses. So that…
-Pipp, - Sunny suddenly said loudly, - Have you seen Izzy?
- No, - she replied, - And in general I have a broadcast.
-I know, Pipp, - Sunny said, - But I don't see her anywhere.
- Maybe she decided to go to the toilet? - Hitch asked.
- Or somewhere…But I don't know, - said Pipp.
- Wait, - suddenly Zipp turned everyone, - Maybe she went to one of the locations.
-Are you saying that Izzy went for a walk all over the building?! – Sunny was worried, - We need to find her!
- Yes, you're not... -Pipp began, until she noticed the angry glare from her friends at her. She paused.
-Let's go look for her, - Sunny said, - Before she gets into trouble!
- Good! – everyone answered in chorus, before everyone went to look for her.
With Hitch…
He was walking down the hallway in search of Izzy. He felt uncomfortable in this place. Suddenly he felt someone's eyes on him. Hitch decided to ignore it. Soon he felt that someone was following him. At this point, he became really scared. He heard a voice:
- Hey buddy!
Hitch turned and saw two familiar faces. The same tenrec and fennec from the post office!
-Are you the one Kit saw back at the damn post office? - she asked him.
Hitch didn't answer out of fear and anxiety.
- Are you afraid? – she asked her, - Don't be afraid, we won't do you any trouble.
- Surge, - he drew the attention of a small fennec- Does it seem to me too much?
- Don't worry, Kit, - she replied, - The main thing is you…
When she turned towards Hitch, she noticed that he had disappeared somewhere.
With Zipp…
She was flying down another corridor.
-Where are you, Izzy? – Zipp calling her.
Soon she flew past a door. She stopped and walked back to the door.
-What is it?
She saw the tittle, on which it is written: Sonic the hedgehog.
-This is the same location that I saw on the map! - she thought to herself.
She opened the door out of curiosity. Inside she saw something… There was a zone of Green Hills. Pegasus went inside and surveyed the area. There was greenery, clear blue sky, bright sun, waterfalls and so on. This brought a smile to Zipp's face. She noticed small animals that moved on two legs. Zipp bent down to look at them carefully. Suddenly, out of nowhere, dust rose. Zipp started coughing from this and closed her eyes. When the dust settled, she was able to open her eyes and saw an anthropomorphic hedgehog in front of her. He had blue fur that covered most of his body, peachy skin that covered his arms, inner ears, muzzle and front of his torso, and emerald green eyes. He has small triangular ears on the top of his head, a black nose on his muzzle, six long feathers on the back of his head, two spikes protruding from his back behind his shoulders, and a short-pointed tail. He wore two lightweight, friction-resistant red sneakers with white cuffs around the ankles, a gray sole and white straps on top, the latter of which are held by a gold buckle on each leg. He also wore a pair of white gloves with sock cuffs on his hands.
The blue stranger turned to Zipp. He looked at her if she was a curious thing. After that, he said:
- Hello!
- Em…Hello? - Zipp said with a questioning tone.
- I have not seen such creatures as you, - he continued, - What is your name?
- Me? – she said questioningly, before which she proudly presented herself, - My name is Zipp Storm and I am the fastest! And who are you?
- I'm Sonic the hedgehog, - he introduced himself, - And I'm the fastest thing in the whole universe! Stop… Did you say you're the fastest?
-Yes, - Zipp replied, - I am considered the fastest creature in my world.
- Listen, you remind me of my friend, - said Sonic, - She's the same pegasus, only blue. And by the way, she is fast too!
-I've heard of her, too, - Zipp said, - But which one of us is the fastest if we're both the same?
- Maybe a race? - Sonic suggested, drawing Zipp's attention.
- Race? - She asked, - At this point I agree!
- Good! – said Sonic, - Now we will find out who is the fastest creature.
They both got ready before starting the race. They looked like athletes before the start.
- Get ... -Sonic began
-...Set... - Zipp continued.
- ...Go!
They both flew with speed through the Green Hills zone, disappearing into the distance, leaving lines behind them…
With Pipp…
She was walking down the hallway with the phone in her hoof. There was a look of longing on her face. Soon she approached the door, on which there was an inscription:
Star Trek
She opened it and what she saw made her drop the phone and open her mouth wider. I ended up on a spaceship. She stood like this for two minutes, after which she quickly began to study the ship, forgetting about the phone. Soon a man in a red suit came on deck. He came to check the ship's system, and it was clearly evident that he was the ship's mechanic. He saw Pipp, who was actively studying everything around. He stood with surprised eyes before turning to someone:
- Um, James, did you by any chance leave the hatch open? A horse-like creature climbed into our ship!
With Hitch…
Hitch, who had escaped from the place where he had met this tenrec and fennec for the second time, made it to the door. He didn't read the inscription and entered it, wanting to hide far away from these psychos. When Hitch stepped inside, he breathed a sigh of relief.
- Well, finally... - he thought to himself.
But when he started walking, he suddenly felt the ground disappear from under his feet. Hitch looked down and found that he was on the outskirts of some top.
"AAAAAAAAAAA!" he shouted in fright.
People were walking down there, cars were honking, and so on. It meant only one thing-New York. Hitch panicked.
- What the hay?! – he said loudly.
- Hey, are you lost in the big city?
Hitch turned in the direction of the voice and saw four shadowy figures. They looked something like lizards and they were wearing masks. Hitch walked away from fear, forgetting that he was on the outskirts. As soon as he crossed the outskirts, he began to fall down.
- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! - Hitch shouted, falling down.
He closed his eyes in anticipation of his death. But suddenly something grabbed his leg. Hitch opened his eyes and saw something resembling a rope. A voice answered from above.
"Y... Y... yes," Hitch replied.
- We can't hear you ~~~ - the voice answered again.
- Mikey!
Soon they began to drag him upstairs. When Hitch was back on the roof, he saw four anthropomorphic turtles. As it was said earlier, they were wearing masks of different colors.
-Thank you, - Hitch said, - If it wasn't for you, I would have died.
- You're welcome! - said one of them, who was wearing an orange mask.
-Okay, - said the other in the blue mask, - Who are you and where are you from?
-My name is Hitch Trailblazer and I'm from Equestria, - the pony replied.
-I am Leonardo, - replied the masked turtle, - And these are my brothers: Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo.
-Nice to meet you, Hitch, - Donatello said.
-Wait, - Raphael said, - Are you the pony that came here to this building?
-Yes, - Hitch replied, - It's just that the first issue of the comic book series about us is coming out in a week.
-I see, - Donny said.
-Can I just ask, - Raphael asked, - What are you doing here?"
-I was just running away from two psychos I saw earlier at the post office, - Hitch replied.
-Let me guess, - Raphael said, - It's Surge and Kitsunami?
-Do you know them? - Hitch asked.
-Yes, we know them, - Leo said, - They came here a long time ago… This year.
-Got it, - Hitch said, - But what are you doing on the roof? Are you looking at the sky?
- No, - Leo replied, - We are patrolling here.
- Why? - Hitch asked.
-So that Schrader or his henchmen don't attack New York, - Leo replied, - They always do that.
-Haven't you heard of him? - Michelangelo asked Hitch.
-No, I haven't, - Hitch said.
- Shrader is our sworn enemy, – Mickey explained, - He is the leader of the Foot clan and is quite dangerous. Especially for you.
-I have a lot of questions anyway, - Hitch said.
Donny signed.
Suddenly, an explosion was heard behind them.
- What is it? - Hitch asked, startled.
-Shredder, - Leo replied.
- Well, what did he come up with this time? - Raph said.
All five of them were looking down. There they saw bandits who rode motorcycles and hit people. They had weapons in their hands. They were dressed in tattered clothes, which is usually possible to describe bikers. On their backs was the sign of the Foot Clan.
-Well, well, - Raph said, - Did the bikers come this time?
-Guys, - Leo said, - Let's go before the civilians get hurt!
-Roger! - Everyone answered in unison except Hitch.
Hitch stood there for one minute, before he stopped them and asked:
- Guys, can I come with you?
Everyone paid attention to him, as they were surprised by this question.
- And why all of a sudden? – ask Mickey
-I'm ashamed to seem like a coward to you, - Hitch replied, - I want to fight you.
-All right, - Leo replied, - You can come with us.
- Really? - Hitch asked.
-Only on one condition, - he continued, - But we'll tell you on the way.
- Okay, I agree! - Hitch said firmly.
- Then what are you standing for? - Mickey said, - Go ahead!
Hitch followed the turtles, jumping with them down to the street of the big city of New York…
With Sunny…
She, like her friends, was walking down the corridor in search of Izzy. She was looking around. Suddenly she noticed one door. Thinking that Izzy was there, she decided to go to the door. There was an inscription on this door:
My Little Pony Generation 4
She opened the door with her hoof and entered it. She found herself in the hall of the palace.
- This reminds me of something… - she thought as she walked down the corridor.
At the end, she found herself in the throne room, where the ruler, courtiers and servants usually sat. Sunny studied the place, looking at the stained-glass windows and the throne.
- It seems to me or is it... - before she could finish the sentence in her mind, she heard a voice behind her.
- Are you Sunny Star Scout?
She turned to the source of the voice and she saw in front of her an alicorn with dark purple eyes, light purple fur, long flowing dark blue mane with purple and purple veins and a badge of distinction in the form of a purple six-pointed star surrounded by five smaller white stars. She was tall, she had large wings, a long horn. She wore gold shoes, a necklace and, of course, a crown.
She looked at Sunny with favor, before which she approached her and said:
- I'll welcome you to my palace, Sunny Starscout. I am Twilight Sparkle and I am the ruler of the Equestria. I knew you'd come here.
Sunny had her mouth wide open and her irises were in the depths of her eyes (this happens when you are surprised by something), then she came to her senses.
-Oh my God! - she screamed with joy, - I'm glad to meet you, Queen Twilight Sparkle! I wanted to meet you and I don't even know what to say to me... I... I…
-I know, I know, - she replied, - They're going to release a comic book series about you soon, as I've heard. Eh, we'll probably be in oblivion soon.
Sunny's expression changed.
- How?! - she asked in surprise, - Why is this all of a sudden?! We know about you in our current Journey! Why are you talking about this?
-Do you know that there were other generations before us? - - -Twilight asked.
- No, - she said in surprise, - And what generations are we talking about, Your Majesty?
-Listen, - Twilight began, - There were such generations before us. They had everything different and were quite famous in their time. But times pass and they are forgotten. But there are also those who do not forget about them and remember them with great love. These are the people who are called fans. They grew up not only on these generations, but also on other things. Like, for example, one such screenwriter of this company. He grew up on his favorite childhood thing and he will come up with something new related to it with love. But people can also create something new from them. There are even some who, although they did not grow up on such things, may be interested in them now. There is only one such thing, but ... There are also people who do not respect these things and do this to them for profit…
- What idiots they are after all. - Sunny said with anger in her voice.
- But... - she continued, - Despite this, thank God that there are people who love their things and respect them. Although for some, the fourth generation will be forgotten, but our fans will never forget about us… Just like about you when your time comes. I wish you and your friend's good luck in the future. And be what you are…
- Well, Your Majesty, - Sunny said with confidence, - I believe you and someday you will be proud of us! I promise you. I have to go, I'm looking for my friend, Izzy Moonbow. See you in the future!
She ran back to the door and left the location, leaving Twilight Sparkle looking at her with pride in her heart.
Later…
Sunny ran down the corridor with a confident smile on her face. Suddenly she heard familiar screams. It came from one door, on which it was written:
Dungeons and Dragons
She went to the door and opened it. She saw such a scene:
There Izzy in the clothes of a warrior with three unknown people was fighting with a giant red dragon. Soon the unicorn noticed an apricot pony standing on the threshold.
- Hi, Sunny! - She shouted joyfully, - Haven't seen you for a long time!
-Izzy, - Sunny said, - What are you doing here?
-Are you about this? - she asked, - Yes, I got bored being in one place, so I secretly left you. Later I came across this door. I entered it and I met these guys and traveled with them.
- Hey, Izzy, - Sunny interrupted her, - Can I help you deal with the dragon?
- Of course! - Izzy replied, - It's very fun and painful here…
- Then, go ahead!
Both ponies went to fight the dragon.
Sometime later…
Sunny and Izzy walked down the hallway laughing. They were a little tired and happy. They were heading towards the dining room. When they got there, they saw Hitch, Pipp and Zipp sitting at a table and talking. Sunny and Izzy sat down with them.
- Oh, hi, Izzy and Sunny, - Zipp greeted them, - How are you doing?
-Very well, - Sunny replied, - What are you talking about by the way?
-We are talking about how we had a good time in the locations. - Pipp replied.
- Very interesting, - commented Izzy, - Can you tell us about it?
- I was in the Sonic the hedgehog location, - Zipp began, - There I competed with Sonic the hedgehog himself!
- I was in a location of Star Trek, - Pipp said, - they thought I was an alien there and they were going to do something to me…
- And I was in the location of TMNT, - said Hitch, - In this place I fought with the ninja turtles!
- And where were you? - Pipp asked Sunny and Izzy.
- I was in Dungeons and Dragons! - Izzy replied, - There I met three travelers and fought with them with a huge evil dragon. Then Sunny came and helped us overcome it!
- Besides that, I was in one more place – Sunny began.
This attracted the attention of the ponies.
- I was in the location of the previous generation of My Little Pony, - she continued, - There I chatted with Twilight Sparkle herself.
- Wow! – Izzy said.
- This is incredible! – said Pipp in surprise.
- Impossible! - Hitch said.
-Cool! - Zipp said.
- She wished us good luck in the future. - Sunny said, - She will be proud of us.
Sunny's words touched everyone. Suddenly Hitch felt that someone was approaching him. He looked around and saw a familiar tenrec and fennec. He was just about to get up from the table and go somewhere, when fennec handed him a piece of paper.
-Can I have your autograph? – he asked shyly.
-Of course! - Hitch agreed, - Except I need a pen.
- Here you go! – Surge said, putting the pen down on the table.
Hitch picked up a pen and a piece of paper. Seconds later, he handed it back to Kit.
- Thanks! – said the delighted Whale.
- You're welcome! - Hitch replied.
-Um, guys, - Izzy said, drawing the attention of her friends, - Is it me or are all the people gathering around us?
The ponies looked around and saw a lot of characters from different franchises. They surrounded the table where the ponies were sitting. They became uncomfortable. Everyone started looking at them. Suddenly they shouted:
- Congratulations!
- What? - Sunny asked.
A figure familiar to Zipp approached them. It was Sonic the Hedgehog.
- What's going on here? - Zipp asked.
- At the moment when you were talking, - Sonic began, - your first comic book came out for your viewing. So, you are officially on our team.
- Where is this comic book located? - Sunny asked.
- Come on, I'll show you!
The ponies followed the hedgehog. In the end, they arrived in the same room. Blue hedgehog took out a comic book and handed it to them. Sunny took the comic book and opened it. All the ponies began to read it. After reading it, everyone was happy with the result.
-Well? - Sonic asked.
- We really liked it! – said the ponies at the same time.
- Then let's go back! - announced the blue hedgehog, - We are having a party in honor of this event!
- Hooray!
Everyone went back to the dining room. There they had fun all night. Cheerful music was playing in it. Everyone was dancing, talking, etc. Everything was fun and good.
Soon the camera switches to Sunny. She blinked her eye at us, after which the screen turns black and the inscription appears on it:
The End
That's the end of our story in honor of the release of the first issue of comics about the fifth generation of My Little Pony. I wish you all good luck and happiness! See you until June 23!
Sincerely,
RST Studio.
