*snore*
"the fuck? Where's my ship?!
*smash!*
"Shit"
"dad what was that?"
"I don't know Scootaloo. I'm going to check it out."
"I'm going with you! I can take em!"
"sorry kiddo. I somewhat doubt that"
"Alex?! What are you doing up so early?"
"I left my ship at the bar. And you are going to help me bring it here"
"...fuck it. Ok let's go. Scootaloo. You wanna come with?"
"...dad it's three in the morning, we just woke up, and your pirate friend is taking you to get a boat from a bar. Of course I'm coming!"
"atta girl! Let's get going."
The trio left the treehouse somehow not waking up John (who was sleeping on another couch similar to the couch nightmare was on) and left under the cover of the night
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The basement burger bar: 4:50 AM
"...so wait. Your boat. As in the water kind. Is in the parking lot of a bar far inland?"
"yeah that's right."
"...normally I don't question these types of things but this is an exception. Exactly how?"
"magic."
"Oh. Good. I thought it was something logical for a second there"
"yeah. My baby can fly! But don't ask about how. Currently this buttery basterd gets a 98.5 zebra force rating!"
"zebra force?"
"An alternative to horse power I presume?"
"yep! Well at first when Gavin suggested the idea it ended with the boat draging through the port town we were living in. It was Detroit all over again..."
"Wait. Gavin? As in our music mad G-man himself?"
"well how did you think I got here? I just followed his ass cause he owed me five bucks and when I grabbed his hand. Suddenly my ship and I got transported to this wacky ass place and straight into a musical. Oh and the events of the movie are no longer cannon."
"Why not?"
"I just kinda shot the storm king after said musical ended with him on top of my ship with the promise of him 'ruling them all'. Unfortunately for him. It was my ship"
"Oh. So is he..."
"No. I missed and hit his shoulder. He fell into the water. Before his goons could cage us, Gavin teleported again. The only bright side to his situation is that he always ends up on the ship when I start singing a shanty"
The trio entered the large ship and Alex went to the wheel.
"ok. Here we go. pull the switch!"
"...did you seriously use Gavin's switch as a lever?"
"no regrets!"
Scootaloo pulled the device and suddenly the ground shook violently. A pair of cannons on the sides of the ship suddenly spewed a column of purple flames towards the ground scorching the earth. The huge ass ship took to the air and went in the direction of ponyvill.
"...so who's a part of your crew?"
"Gavin, me, you probably, pinky pie, and a giant enchanted rubber duckie that is sentient. HEY EARL!"
A voice from above. Probably in the crows nest responded with what one could only describe as permanent drunk voice
"YEAH?"
"SET A COURSE FOR PONYVILL!"
"AYE AYE CAPTAIN!"
"woah..."
"he's the best navigator around!"
A strange silence followed for an unusual amount of time.
"...wanna see Gavin?"
"Yes."
"well I'm going to start a shanty and you need to find him. He should be in the crews quarters."
"What?"
"♫OH♫"
Suddenly a large explosion was heard in the lower deck as music rises to the surface
"what was that?"
"that...was Gavin"
They journeyed through the lower levels of the ship until they found the sorce of the music. A lengthy man on a unicycle was playing the song of storms on an accordion. His eyes lit up at the sight of the trio as Noah pulled out the last of the curse remover and took the cork out of the jar. Noah then threw a box of raisins coated in the substance and hit Gavin directly in the face. The music stopped as he lost his balance and hit the floor with a thud and a broken curse.
"thank you..."
He slowly stood up and dusted himself off before kicking the accordion. Red flames surrounded the two items and they disappeared in a puff of smoke. The trio explained everything that was happening with Noah and Gavin was caught up.
"ok...what's up?"
"How did you get here the first time?"
"I sneezed so hard. That I was thrown through time and space until I ended up in this firey looking place. I got cursed by a strange red thing and then I started playing music...without my imput."
"I'm sorry. You sneezed? That's why you ended up here?"
""yep."
The four went upstairs and eventually Alex noteced something
"hold up. I need some help. Could you push that button beside the switch?"
Noah obliged and a large amount of different cannons appeared on the top deck. Alex took out his shovel and hit three cannons lighting the fuses. They fired off in the distance and hit something out of sight.
"(sigh)Ok let's see what went wrong this time"
He pulled out an especially pink cannon that without his doing was already lit and fired...straight into his ship. When the cannon was moved. pinky pie was sitting and giggling in its place.
"WHAT?!"
"hi Alex! I'm suuuuuuper glad you called me when you did! Some strange creepy-meany-guy started lighting fires and then he was all like "my precious!" and then he took flutershy and-"
"HE WHAT?!"
"yep!"
"EARL STRAP IN! CODE YELLOW!"
"OH SHIT!"
The sound of a seatbelt clicking shut was heard as the ship suddenly launched forwards. Two minutes later the boat had reached ponyvill. A large crowd of people surrounded the town in a swarm as the crazed humans chased down the small equines... Well. Until Alex parked the massive ship onto a large part of the hoard.
"Gavin. Things are about to get dicey. Take this."
"a gun? Dude I'm not killing anyo-"
"hey isn't that the looser from that dumb game we played a year ago?"
A cannon ball may have launched the small group into the air. But they were all dead before they hit the ground. Some buttons are meant to be pushed. its just that most of Gavin's buttons result in a nuclear holocaust for the poor soul who pushed too far.
Meanwhile in the town hall John was waking up with the the main six minus flutershy. But instead of being helpless. John felt the grip of a tazer in his pocket as well as a unbroken resolve to cause extreme harm to the poor basterd that woke him up... All fighting around ponyvill stopped the moment a large feminine screaming rang out and was quickly silenced.
You will now see why this story got a dark tag.
