A gryphon flew through the skies of Equestria; her feathers were yellow with black highlights around her eyes. She dived through a cloud as she exited the bottom she saw a town down below. It was the town of Maretime Bay. She smiled as she continued to dive towards the town. She spread her wings a moment later and glided, she scanned the crowds of ponies beneath her, searching for her prey. She soon found an easy target and swooped down into the crowds. She barley made any noise as she silently approached her target, she extended her fore-claws; the tips seemed to gleam in the sunlight. Then, in a single swift motion she grabbed hold of her prey.

Sparky squealed in delight. “WHEEEEEEEE!”

The gryphon giggled as she held the young dragon in her claws. He laughed his little head as he was taken into the sky. She heard his father yell. “Honey Bee!”

She turned herself around; holding Sparky in her claws as he continued to laugh. She hovered in the air for a moment, before she moved Sparky closer to her beak and said. “Fly to Daddy.”

Sparky growled in approval and then she let him go. He for a moment he free-fell; only to quickly open his small wings, he giggled and laughed as he glided down like a paper air plane. He slowly fell back to the ground, going round and round in a small circle, while his father got underneath to catch him. He squealed happily as he was caught by his father.

Hitch smiled happily as he hugged his baby, he said. “Good job, buddy.” He chuckled as the gryphon landed in front of them. He smiled at her and walked up to her, they hugged each other as Sparky purred happily in between them. As they broke the hug Sparky reached for her.

Honey smiled and said. “Come here, little guy.”

She took Sparky from Hitch, the little dragon purred happily as he buried his face in her chest. He giggled a little as her feathers tickled his little nose. She smiled and nuzzled the little dragon before he started to climb to her back. When he was settled Hitch walked up next to her, he gently nuzzled her before they started walking together. As they walked she unfolded one of her wings and draped it over Hitches back.

Hitch asked her. “How was your day at work?”

She replied. “Boring.” She nuzzled him again before asking. “How about you?”

He answered. “Just another day of reminding ponies to.” He noticed somepony miss a trashcan, before he could even say it, the pony had picked up their litter and properly threw it away. He smiled before he continued. “Keep their trash off the streets.”

Honey giggled again and they continued walking through the streets. It was rather hard to believe that the two of them had come this far in their relationship. They had started dating two years ago, it was shortly after the Gryphons had reunited with the ponies. Two years of dating and they were already living together in his home. Honey Bee not only loved him but she also loved his son. To her the little drake was as cute as a hatchling. There were times the little guy could be a clawfull, but she loved him like he was her own.

Hitch heard her yawn and asked. “Wanna go home and take a nap?” She nuzzled him in response. They turned down a street and started to head towards the station.

Hitch smiled lovingly at his son as he covered his tiny body with his blanket, his son purred happily while gripping his favorite toy close to his body. He chuckled a little before he walked away from the crib. He looked at the bed and saw his girlfriend resting peacefully. A smile was stretched across her beak, her feathers looked so soft and clean, he could also hear a small purr coming from her. He walked over to his side of the bed and gently crawled in. As he got comfortable he moved closer to Honey, when he was nose to beak with her she surprised him. Honey had wrapped her claws around him and pulled him closer to her. She rested her head in the crook of his neck, while her wings wrapped around him.

She commented. “Much better.”

Hitch chuckled before he nuzzled her, he replied. “You say that every time.” He kissed her on her forehead.

She replied. “Because it's true.” She shifted her position a little, now she was fully pressed against his body, and she had intertwined her tail with his.

Hitch loved snuggling with her, feeling her soft feathers pressed against him, while listening to her gentle purring, feeling her warmth. He used to think all of this was just a really good dream. But, now he accepted this reality and enjoyed every second of it.

He whispered. “I love you.”

She replied. “I love you too, Hitch.”

Sparky's eyes fluttered open and he looked around, he noticed that he was in his crib; he wondered when they got home. He could hear his dad and mom, turning his head he saw them resting in their bed. He babbled his baby talk as he stood up in his crib. He looked at them happily; while stretching his arm through the cribs bars. He whimpered a little, wanting one of them to come and pick him up. But, they remained in their bed. With a slightly growl he started to flap his wings. He watched his mother do this multiple times; maybe he could do it like she did, all he had to do was flap his wings. He flapped them harder and faster; they were practically buzzing. He giggled a little as he felt his feet leave his bed.

Honey looked over Hitch's shoulder and gasped. “Sparky!”

Hitch immediately sat up; thinking that his son was trying to climb out of his crib again. But, as he turned and looked he sat their shocked beyond belief. Both of them watch as the little dragon hovered over his crib, he was spinning in a small circle just above the top of the crib. Eventually, he somehow stopped himself from spinning and aimed himself for their bed. He giggled before he stretched his arms out and flew towards them. He moved at a flying turtle pace, but the little dragon was flying. For a moment he fell and nearly hit the floor. But, he was determined to fly towards them and he flapped his wings harder. He stopped just above the floor and flew back up.

Hitch watched as his baby flew to him, his tiny claws stretched out, and he was giggling none stop. When his baby was close enough; he reached out and grabbed him. Sparky laughed happily as he reached for his father. Hitch felt tears welling in his eyes. His son, his baby, he just flew on his own for the very first times. He didn't glide down like he would do when Honey would drop him. No, he kept himself in the air and flew to them.

Hitch sniffled before saying. “Oh, Sparky.” He pulled his son into a loving hug; he felt his son nuzzle his chest, while purring happily. He continued. “My baby is growing up.”

Honey bee smiled and gently rubbed the back of Sparky's head. When he became aware of her he reached out for her. She purred happily as she was handed him, she hugged him like a mother who just saw her child fly for the first time. Like Hitch, she was also proud of the little drake.

She spoke happily. “Good job, baby.”

Sparky nuzzled her only to yawn a shortly later, she noticed the sleepy look on his face, flying that far must have burned a lot of his energy. She looked at Hitch before both of them layed back down. All three of them rested peacefully in the bed now. Sparky was snuggled in between the two; while they happily wrapped their arms around him and each other.

It was another wonderful day in Maretime Bay; the sky was clear and the wind gently blew over the town. The gentle crashing of the waves echoed through the streets. As ponies visited various stalls and buildings. Yes, it was another wonderful day. But, for the sheriff of the town the day was not wonderful. No, the day was absolutely amazing.

The sheriff of the town Hitch Trailblazer was lying out in a field just to the north. Beside him lay his son, a dragon that he named Sparky. His baby was snuggled against his side; sleeping peacefully next to his father. Snuggled against him on his other side was his wife. His wife was not a pony. No, she was a creature called a Vaporeon. She had the body similar to that of a large fox. But, instead of fur she had smooth blue scales; her tail was a fin and there was a frill around her neck. She also had three fins on her head. Her name was Flare. She smiled happily as she pressed herself further into his side.

Hitch whispered. “I never want this day to end.”

He heard his son purr a little before the little dragon began to climb over him. He chuckled as he felt his son climb up to his back and slide down his other side. His wife giggled as she felt her son snuggle himself in between them. He stopped when he was snuggled in between her forepaws. He purred happily as he snuggled himself against her chest. She opened her eyes for a moment before she gently licked the little dragons head. She smiled happily as her husband leaned down and kissed her on the forehead. She sighed happily as she looked up and the two shared a quick kiss.

Flare whispered. “Love you.”

He replied. “Love you too.”

Flare smiled before she rested against the ground again. Her paws wrapped around the little drake in her hold. Hitch joined them in their peaceful rest. He held the most important creatures in his life against him. His son purred happily and his wife smiled happily. He couldn't believe that a year ago all of this started. He couldn't believe that they met her a year ago. He couldn't.....imagine a world without his wife and child.

Hitch yawned as he sipped his early morning coffee. He could hear his son babbling his gibberish. It caused him to smile as he looked at his baby. The little dragon sat happily in his high chair. The contents of his breakfast smeared on his face and on the seats tray. He took another sip of coffee before setting his cup down.

He spoke to his son. “You full baby boy?”

His baby only replied with laughter as he reached for his father. Hitch gently picked him up as he said. “Let's get you cleaned up.”

After about an hour Hitch and Sparky were out and about on the morning patrol. Hitch walked around Maretime bay. Sparky rode on his back; while his animal deputies helped him with surveillance. The good news there was only one piece of litter on the side walk. That was the only news. He shook his head a little as they walked down the street that overlooked the beach. He stopped a moment and gazed the Brighthouse. Since they restored magic to Equestria everything had gotten a little quiet.

Sparky's ears perked up as he looked around; he whimpered a little before he jumped off his fathers back and started running towards the beach. He ignored his fathers calls for him to stop and come back. He whimpered in worry as he ran across the beach. He was heading right for a dock; whatever had him worried was over there. He ran onto the dock and was sprinting towards the end. As he was about to reach the end; he yelped out in surprise as his father grabbed hold of him.

Hitch stated. “Gotcha!” He panted heavily as he got a good grip on his son. Sparky whimpered and yipped trying to get him to go further. But he was not going to have it. He started to chew him out. “What have I told you about!”

A weak female voice called out. “Help.”

He stopped mid sentence as he listened for the voice again. All of them had gone quiet on the dock. Sparky looked around with worry. Hitch listened closely for who just called out for help. Even his animal deputies kept calm and quiet. All of them were listening for the voice.

The voice called out again. “Help.”

Hitch put Sparky down and walked towards then end of the dock. As he reached then end; he looked down and gasped at what he saw. Somepony had left a net tied to the dock and something was trapped inside it. It looked like a fish. He looked at his crab deputy and motioned for him to get down there and cut the net. The crab nodded and jumped down into the water; while Hitch tried to keep the animal calm.

He spoke softly. “Hey, you're gonna be okay.” He heard the creature gasping as his deputy started to cut the net. She tried to pull away from him; causing the net to wrap tighter around her. He gently petted her and continued. “It's okay. It's okay. We're gonna get you out but you need to stay calm.” He asked her. “Can you do that for me?”

The creature paused for a moment before nodding. She remained still as the crab slowly cut her out of the net. With every little snip she would feel less constricted. The pony above her continued to talk to her. Trying to keep her calm as she kept herself from moving. When the last part of the net was cut; she fell into the water. Hitch quickly backed away as the creature breached the waters surface. As she climbed up onto the dock; the pony got to her side and pulled her the rest of the way up.

He asked her. “Are you okay?”

The creature coughed a little before she answered. “Yeah.” She coughed a little more before laying on her back. “Thank you.”

He nodded as he got a better look a her. Whatever she was; she wasn't just a fish. She looked like some kind of fox with fish. She noticed that he was staring at her. She knew he was a pony; but he probably didn't know what she was. In fact she didn't even know who he is.

She introduced herself. “My name is Flare.”

Hitch's brain stopped for a moment before shook himself back into reality. “Nice to meet you Flare. I'm sheriff Hitch.”

Before anymore could be said Sparky walked up to her. He giggled a little as he walked up to her. She spoke. “Aw.” She asked. “Who are you?” She rolled herself over and tried to stand; only to gasp as a jolt of pain shot through her right leg.

Hitch spoke. “You're hurt. Try not to move.” He started to check her over.

Thankfully, her arm was only sprained not broken. He was about to pick her up to take her to the hospital. But she stopped him by saying. “My bag.” She pointed to the end of the dock and added. “I have medicine.”

Hitch looked at his raccoon deputy. “Kennith.”

The raccoon nodded and ran to the end of the pier; he looked down where Flare had been tangled and saw her bag. He reached for it nearly falling into the water below as he grabbed the sling. He pulled the bag up and dragged it over to them. He looked at the bag and unzipped the top.

He asked her. “Um....which one is the medicine.”

She answered. “Red bottle. Looks like a small spray bottle.”

He looked inside and saw the bottle; he pulled it out and read how to administer it. It seemed pretty straight forward; aim it at infected area or area of injury and spray. He moved over to her right arm; gently he held her arm as he aimed the medicine at her injury.

She mumbled. “This is gonna suck.”

Hitch squeezed the trigger on the bottle and the medicine spray on her arm. She let out a small yelp as she felt a burning sensation across her arm. She saw the look of concern on his face and said. “I'm okay.” She repeated. “I'm okay.” He nodded and continued to apply the medicine.

When the bottle was empty she told him there was some gauze in the bag. Kenneth reached in and passed them to him. Clipping a piece that was long enough to wrap her leg. After he bandaged her leg; he helped her up. For a moment she stood on all fours only to nearly stumble again. He decided that it would be a good idea to carry her on his back.

Hitch chuckled hard to believe that first meeting lead up to so many wonderful things later. He remember how she smiled when she moved into one of the vacant buildings. How well she liked the town and how the ponies liked her. Sure it was a little odd at first. Seeing something that called itself a Pokemon. How she was from across the sea from a land that had pony like creatures but nothing like them. She took a liking to many of the town residents. While he took a great liking to her and so did his son. She enjoyed baby sitting Sparky when she could. They enjoyed time together when they could. But, Hitch treasured a single memory above all else.

Hitch waited patiently outside Flare's home. He was dressed in his best vest and combed his mane smooth. Although, he had prepared himself for this night. He still felt as nervous as a young colt on his very first date. When Flare opened the door he couldn't believe how more gorgouse she looked. Her scales shined like the ocean when the sun or moons light would hit it just right. The dress she wore had many colors that blended together so beautifully. Almost like a coral reef. He also caught a whiff of perfume. It was the ocean breeze scented one.

She smiled up at him and greeted. “Hey, handsome.”

He smiled back and greeted her. “Milady.” He extended a hoof to her before continuing. “I have no comment to describe your beauty.”

She giggled as she took his hoof and replied. “Can say the same for you.” She smile at him as he lead her down the street. They were heading towards the Canterlogic building. A dance was being hosted there. A dance for all the couples in the town.

Whoever planned this dance knew what they were doing. The music that played was soft and slow. Allowing couples to dance gracefully on the floor. Stallions lead their mares. And, mares lead their stallions. It was a wonderful evening for romances that had fully blossomed. And, for ones that had just started to grow.

Hitch smiled at Flare as the two danced together. At first it was a little odd for her to find the correct moves. But, after some time and some directions from Hitch. The two moved in sync with the music. Once again he found himself lost in Flare's eyes. He couldn't help getting lost in their wonderful gaze. The feeling was shared with her. As they heard the music pick up it's pace; their bodies moved with the music. They were both lost in each others gaze and the music. At some point's he would hold her close. While other times she would gracefully move around him. At one point he dipped her down and she stared up at him. It was then they shared a quick kiss; before he pulled her back up and the two continued dancing.

He couldn't forget about that night even if he wanted too. So much had happened on that night. Neither of them could explain what had happened. It just felt like the spoke to each other without speaking. Somehow they knew that no matter what they faced. If they were with each other; they could take on anything. He sighed happily before giving his wife another gentle kiss on the forehead. He wrapped his hoof around her and their baby.

He whispered. “I love you.” Both of them smiled in their sleep. He continued. “Both of you.”
