Hitch walked out of the station to find Sprout, it took a while for Hitch to find him but he managed to find him looking at the sunset near his house.
*Hitch slowly approach Sprout*
Hitch sat beside Sprout, but Sprout didn't quite notice him.
Sprout: ...
Hitch: ...The sunset's beautiful, isn't it?
(he said softly)
Sprout was surprised, and turned around to see who it is.
Hitch: Hey, Sprout (he said softly)
Sprout: Oh um, h-hey Hitch
Hitch: Why are you here?
Sprout: Well, I just thought the sunset is beautiful, and thought I could watch it for a while.
Hitch: ...
Sprout: That sounded ridiculous. Y'know? It's getting late, I should probably go home.
As Sprout was about to leave, Hitch stopped him.
Hitch: Hey, Sprout, wait!
*Sprout stopped*
Hitch: Umm... You look kinda sad, do you want to maybe talk for a while?
Sprout: Well no, I really have nothing to say and-
Hitch: Sprout, have you been avoiding me?
Sprout: Wait! What? No, Hitch where did you get that?
Hitch: Well, these past few days I kept talking to you and you kept walking away.
Sprout: ... Oh... Umm
Hitch: ...
Sprout: Well, it's just that... I'm embarrassed to talk to you, y'know?
Hitch: B-But why?
Sprout: Well, b-because of what happened.
Hitch: Sprout, I get it, but I'd never get mad at you-
Sprout: I know, 'cause when you talked to me the other day, I was expecting to see disappointment and anger in your eyes, but all I saw was kindness, caring a-and love.
Hitch: Well of course, I still care about you.
*Hitch put his arm around Sprout*
Hitch: Sprout, I told you to tell me if you need to talk-
Sprout: I know, I know, I just got scared that you might judge me... like all ponies do.
Hitch: Well, do you wanna talk to me now
Sprout: *sigh*
*Meanwhile at the station*
Izzy: Wow, we're finally finish decorating.
Sunny: Yeah, and I wonder how Hitch is holdin' up?
Pipp: Where are they?, it's been ages
Zipp: Let's give them time, I bet it's hard getting Sprout to come here.
*Meanwhile at Hitch and Sprout's*
Hitch: Hey um Sprout, can I ask you a question? Why did you do those things anyway?
Sprout: ...
Hitch: I-It's okay if you're not comfortable of answering tha-
Sprout: No it's ok, I guess it's just because I'm mad.
Hitch: About what?
Sprout: A-About you
Hitch: Me?
Sprout: Well, yeah, 'cause Hitch, you had it all, all the attention, being a sheriff, and ponies look up to you, I guess I just got jealous.
