Zipp is quite the multitalented athlete but rollerskating was one sport she never bothered checking out - until she met Sunny and saw how much fun the friendly earth pony had zipping around on her twelve little wheels.
Here we see Zipp’s first time on rollerblades, being taught by none other than Sunny Starscout herself, who graciously lent Zipp her own skates for the lesson! And with it came a rare moment of Equestria’s coolest princess being legitimately nervous for once. Savor her adorable distress while it lasts because that mare is a very quick learner.
This drawing is set between the events of
My Little Pony: A New Generation and
My Little Pony: Tell Your Tale, before Zipp became a rollerblading master in her own right (
