Hitch may have a paid-off mortgage…but he isn’t the only young landowner in Mareitime Bay.
Takes place at least a few years before the start of MLP A New Generation.

This story offers a lovely combination of realism about issues like mowing the lawn and maintaining the building, with MLP style idealism about friendship.
I don't think I often see horsewords about grief written with such a gentle touch, either.

You have that set as a real phone number??? I just nearly called that number
Edit: After talking to the FiM Discord we figured out that the phone thinks its a real number but doesn't connect to anything. Weird btw good story!

It's literally random numbers LOL. I have changed the last digit to an "x" to avoid further confusion.
This reminds me of the song 8675309.

that’s funny
This was a nice story and Hitch was a good friend to Sunny unlike pretty much all the other ponies in Maretime Bay.

whats the sex?
The only thing I didn't like was that Sunny's phone number was not 867-5309.
And it's really a stretch to say I "didn't like" that, since it's not exactly a new idea, but there it is. It really is a wonderful story, and I am happy.
And this is why I keep getting drawn back to the Mane 5. Maybe I'm reading too deep into things, but just feel like if you look past the color exterior, there's something so... tragic, about all of them really. But at the same time they all seem to be... happy? Like, just how often do you see a character who has a dark and troubled past but have actually moved past it and found a life?
Eh, this is getting too navel gaze-y even by my standards. Just know this story is easily going into my favorites, and that I'm giving you a Bumblebipp.
She may be long gone, but the stare's still there.
Hey that rhymed.
This was excellent from start to finish. Well done!

This was very nicely done. Very glad I read it.

We know Sunny lost her father, the only pony who ever really believed in her. Hitch helped her and was a friend, but he didn't believe.
All signs point to Izzy never having had friends before Sunny, not real friends, just ponies who tolerated her more.
The pegasisters seem to have lost their Dad too, and both have more than a few issues, and Hitch just radiates "barely holding it together" vibes that only got stronger with the holiday special - I'm almost certain he was raised in equal parts by his Gran, Argyle, and Phyllis, and being the glue that kept Sunny and Sprout from killing each other didn't help much.
here's a fun fact: on the chinese-speaking social media, the word for "grass" can be used to say "f^ck" nowadays.

That pun was definitely not intended, LOL
I learned Chinese until I was 7, before I could learn all the swear words but I used to hear that phrase a thousand times from my Chinese college roommate who played DOTA past midnight. Not my favorite roommate needless to say

……
the fact that you learnt chinese at such a young age, and as a foreigner is very cool, because it's a very difficult language.
by the way, the chinese brony community is (re)growing a lot nowadays, got some good creative vibes in lots of people!
EDIT:forgot to mention, the story's very solid and enjoyable, thanks for the tale!
I can just see you’re developing a style, and it’s a pretty good style at that. There’ something very realistic about this story, and I love realism in my stories.
I don’t think I have much else to mention about this story, I just enjoyed it.

I am American born Chinese. My mom is from Singapore and my dad is from Taiwan. I lived in Singapore for 2 years when I was a young child. I have previously written stories inspired by my cultural experience.

nice~good to know, you're indeed a pretty cool author with some fascinating background, even if only learned Chinese as a heritage speaker!
keep up the good work, and remember that you're a delight in our community!
At least it didn't involve words like crazy.
Your loss.
: "That's my girl!"
This is almost philosophical, with Hitch filling Argyle's horseshoes.
How evil!
To be fair, it's literally in her name...
But still better than those other ones.
Whatever the case, it does sound like something he could have said. And something he would have wanted.
Good story!
I enjoyed reading it.
Very well done!
An oddball ghost happened across your fic and read it. Have a review!
That F-bomb when the lawnmower craps out slays me every time. It’s PERFECT. 😆
