    Sunny and Hitch are helping some ponies clean up a slightly magical mess in Mare time bay.

    Hitch:Thanks again for the help, Sunny. Magic cleanup is a two-pony job.

    Sunny:Anytime, Hitch. I was just talking to Twilight Sparkle.

    Hitch:Oh? How's the Glimmering Grotto network holding up?

    Sunny:Better than ever! Twilight said she has been working on her connection with the Unity Crystals. She thinks she might be able to use their latent energy to create a more stable, two-way communication channel with all of us, not just in emergencies. It would be like a real-time 'Friendship Link'!

    Zipp lands with a WHOOSH,looking intense as her wings landed on her waist

    Zipp:Sunny! Hitch! Something weird is going on. My agent instincts are tingling.

    Hitch:Your 'agent instincts'? Zipp, the biggest case we've had lately was finding the Pipsqueak who kept stealing the lighthouse keeper's snacks. It was Pipsqueak.

    Zipp:This is different. A distress signal of sorts from the Bridlewood scanner array. It picked up a massive, ancient energy signature, then it flatlined.

    Sunny:Ancient energy? That sounds serious.

    Izzy:Izzy unicycles up at full speed, clearly excited.

    Izzy:You guys! You will not believe what I found in the forest!

    MLP:Make your mark.

    Episode 1:Stone Unturned.

    The "pony statue" is now in Izzy's makeshift lab. The ponies are gathered around it.

    Hitch:It's just a statue, Izzy. Probably a collectible or something that washed up.

    Izzy:No, I felt it! It's magic!

    Sunny:There's something in here... a spark.

    Sunny slowly touched it,the cracks in the stone glow green. A pulse of energy shatters the stone casing. Standing in the middle, coughing slightly,is you. You look around,eyes widen in surprise. Zipp immediately pulls a small, futuristic device from her belt,scanning you. The device blinks "ANOMALOUS ENERGY: OFF THE CHARTS".

    Zipp:I know who you are.Cozy Glow. The 'Empress of Friendship' wannabe.

    You quickly backed away from Zipp as you hid behind the circle of the statue you were freed from in fright. Zipp eyes her suspiciously. Izzy,ever the optimist, trots forward with open hooves.

    Izzy:You're free! That's amazing! You just need some friends!

    You reached out to Izzy with open hooves as you buried your head on her shoulder. Izzy wrapped her hooves tight as you cried freely. Zipp clearly doesn't trust you yet but spoke up to Izzy as her agent senses are going.

    Zipp:Izzy,hold on! This is the villain who tried to steal all the magic in Equestria! My agent senses are going haywire!

    Sunny:Everypony deserves a chance, Zipp. She looks like she going through a lot of pain.

    Izzy:Yeah,What she said! She just needs a little guidance to help her be better,right little Cuite?

    You slowly pulled away as you sniffed. You been alone in the streets of Ponyville for as long as you can remember,manipulating yourself that you have to steal magic and rely on the artifacts for survival. You're an orphan growing up and you can't stand being alone.

    Zipp is not convinced. She scans you again.

    Zipp:Hmm. Maybe you can prove it. I need a new agent for my growing intelligence operation in Zephyr Heights. Somepony who knows a thing or two about... secrets. How about it, Agent Glow?

    You hesitated for a second. You always wanted to be an Agent yourself but you are not sure if she is ready for it yet. You slightly nodded in response.

    Izzy:Ohh! Let's get you all washed up first before you join Zipp in her investigations! She is the best detective ever here in Mare time bay so she can get...too into her instincts but hey,I promise I will be here to guide you too if you get stuck.

    You slowly nodded in response as Izzy gesture you onto her back,walking over to the bathroom to wash yourself up. After Izzy had finished washing yourself off,she carried a towel as she wrapped it around your body,carrying you as she dry you off.

    Izzy:There! All sparkly and clean! You go ahead. I will ordered McDonald's to help you fill your belly during your lessons. Okay?

    You slowly nodded in response as you walked over to where Zipp is.
