Starblazer (MLP)

Sunny x Hitch is the het ship between Sunny Starscout and Hitch Trailblazer from the My Little Pony fandom.

My Little Pony: A New Generation
In the movie itself, the are no information about how Hitch and Sunny met. However, there are numerous moments of their interactions that can be dubbed as shipping fuel. These paragraphs describing these moments are taken directly from the TV Tropes page Heartwarming / My Little Pony: A New Generation:

- During the scene that depicts their playdates with Sprout Cloverleaf at Sunny's light house, Hitch can be seen willing to play Sunny's way despite not agreeing with her simply because he sees that Sprout's method of play is upsetting to Sunny; he values Sunny's happiness too much to force his way on her, despite all evidence he has access to painting her as wrong.

- One cute friendship moment near the beginning of the movie is Hitch indulging Sunny in a Secret Hoofshake. It's obvious he's not as into it as Sunny, but even when warning her off of her annual law-breaking, he's willing to indulge her. The Secret Hoofshake going along with the following line: "'Up high! Down low! Hitch it to a post! Flip it Sunny-side up and on a piece of toast!'"The sweetest part is that, after the last line, Sunny brushes up against Hitch affectionately, then they both chuckle and smile at each other.

- Hitch never wavers in his friendship with Sunny. Even after warning her about his problem "associating" with her at the start, and all the trouble she puts him through during the events of the movie for apparently no gain, Hitch still comforts her in her Darkest Hour, telling her she did everything she could, and that she can come talk to him anytime. Reading between the lines, his whole quest to track down and "arrest" Sunny is actually him worrying for her well-being and wanting to bring her back home safe.

My Little Pony: Tell Your Tale
Fans tends to interpret it a shipping fuel whenever the two of them stand together, which happened through out the majority of the episodes in the series. However, the series have some notable moments between them, such as:



S1E19: Lost In Translation
The two can be seen helping eachother to understand and resolve the critter's conflict regarding their ownership of a schmugleberry bush. At the the moment 0:33 into the episode, Hitch pushes Sunny back and take out a fork in order to protect her from what he assumes as a danger, along with the line "Watch out Sunny, this bush could be dangerous! Never trust anything that start with schmugle!", which turns out to be a pegasnail and a racoonicorn fighting over a bunch of berries. After seeing the situation, Sunny can be seen offering help to Hitch with the line "Anything I can do?", to which Hitch declined as "Nope! All under control, Sunny!" But still, she still helping Hitch found the solution to help resolve the conflict as "finding what they have in common" and reminds him "There's magic in unity!".
