While visiting Canterlot City, the girls are on the scene when a jewelry store is robbed. With the power of their geodes they pony up and sprint into action to pursue the thief. They eventually corner him and apprehend him, and the story is revealed to be a comic book that Sunset Shimmer drew up.
Tropes:
- Art Shift: The story occasionally does freeze-frames in a more comic book-style art, complete with Speed Lines and Written Sound Effects.
- Chase Scene: Most of the short is the girls chasing after the jewelry thief.
- Circling Birdies: Rainbow Dash gets stars orbiting her head after being knocked out. No doubt part of the prevalent comic-book effects.
- The Door Slams You: Rainbow Dash is knocked out by the double doors the thief opens suddenly in his rush.
- Genre Shift: The story is explicitly framed as a superhero romp.
- Holding Back the Phlebotinum: The girls have trouble catching a common pickpocket, who is escaping on foot. Rainbow Dash, Twilight or Rarity should be able to stop him immediately. Sunset obviously wants all of her friends to have time to showcase their powers.
- Mundane Utility: Pinkie's contribution to the chase is to use her explosive powers to... blow holes in a bush to use them as peepholes. A bush she could already see over anyway.
- Shipper on Deck: Judging by the final panel of the comic, it's likely that Sunset ships Rarity and Applejack.
- The Reveal: In the end it's revealed that the story of this short was a comic book written and drawn by Sunset Shimmer.
