(Loosely based on "Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore")
On her way to work with her smoothie cart one morning, Sunny happens to bump into Sprout and notices that he's looking rather unhappy. Soon, she begins to feel like she's unintentionally forgotten all about him, and so has everypony else.
Determined to cheer Sprout up and make him happy again, Sunny convinces her friends to join with her to give Sprout a surprise birthday party. But they'll have to be quick, because Sprout's birthday is only a few days away!
Can Sunny and her friends get everything ready in time for Sprout's big day?

very nice. i love it!
Sprout is such an interesting character, in my opinion
That was a sweet and enjoyable read. Hopefully we get an episode like this either in Make Your Mark or Tell Your Tale.
FYI The cover pic art is by Malarkey. You can find them on twitter and derpibooru.
I've often said that nopony can be uncheered with a balloon.
So it was that Sunny was on her way to work with her smoothie cart, towing it along behind her as she roller skated through time with a smile on her face and a spring in her step. It was still funny for her to think that most ponies barely noticed her, unless she happened to transform into an alicorn.
Which it was pretty rough when I saw that in the episode
Which it was pretty weird that Hasbro completely forgot about him which I don't understand they should give him a little bit more story
Yeah even from your younger years you guys really don't see eye two eye
Of course you'll be very excited Izzy but hey I'm actually glad you want to help out
I like the dedication you're making hitch
This story felt pretty meta. Sprout feeling forgotten and ignored is very fitting considering how he fell off the radar after the movie. And Sunny and her friends are like the fans who keep reminding themselves he's still around. But still, this is exactly the recognition he needs! Nice work!
Yeah we also kind of question about pipp and Zipp Father and hitches parents and izzy parents and sunny mother as well I wonder what happened to them all
It's a good thing he has thick scale or that would definitely would hurt so much
Izzy definitely has the Pinkie Pie touch especially with that Talent
Well I will say this is a pretty nice story so sunny noticing sprout which he really doesn't expected that to happen since he's always been ignored and basically forgotten by everybody and sunny felt really bad about that so she told her friends they want to do something for Sprouts but then hitch mentioned that his birthday is coming up so perfect timing so everybody got to work to figure out what to do and there was some ups and downs but other than that towards the end it looked like it turned out pretty well because sprouts really enjoyed his birthday for once in his lifetime and Sunny wants to tell him that they still want to be friends even if she has new friends now they don't have to lose that connection even though they has some mixed feelings with each other but she still wants to make it work which sprouts accepted it this was a pretty good story I kind of wish that Hasbro explore his character a bit more after the new generation but anyway this was pretty good keep up the good work
Great work on this one-shot. Definitely appreciate the effort going into the exchanges, characterizations and general wrap-up. And, yeah, really good inspiration from "Winnie the Pooh" (back before some jerks felt like it was a great idea to turn a character what was originally intended to be an embodiment of childhood innocence into a slasher movie villain and fodder for R-rated black comedy just because they legally can now [while not the ultimate jerk move, it still has to be among the top/bottom ten]). Not much more I can say that other reviewers haven't already said better, but I'll still be looking forward to more of your work.
One of the only major issues I have with ANG is that they never finished his arc. Hopefully the series will give him a proper conclusion.
11580134 I get the feeling that the video game "A Maretime Bay Adventure" is meant to be his redemption arc. But if so it has a lot of confusing plot holes regarding when it's supposed to take place.
This is wholesome
Sprout has alot of potential and it sucks how they are wasting it.
Same for Sparky(as in not being a plot device)
This was a touching story and I was glad to read that Sunny's friends were willing to extend a hoof in friendship to Sprout. I, too, think Sprout is a character worth exploring and giving some depth to his backstory. Great job once more.
