42. Pirate Picnic

Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, and Sunset Shimmer were invited to a hidden area of the beach for a picnic.
"Are you sure about this, Twi?" Sunset wondered.
"Of course I'm sure." Twilight said. "The invitation told us to come to this part of the beach."
"I'm very surprised we are not bringing any food." Rarity figured.
"Me too, Rarity. But, the invitation said not to worry about food."
A sudden aroma of cooked fish got everybody's attention. Twilight saw an old fort overlooking the ocean. "That pleasant smell is coming from over there. Follow me!"
The three girls went into the fort, and saw some fish grilling over an open fire, and a table with plates, cups, some fresh fruit, and a big bowl of tropical punch.
"My goodness." Rarity exclaimed. "This is an impressive spread."
Suddenly, they we greeted by what sounds like a female pirate. "Ahoy, mateys! Glad you can come."
The girls saw a golden maiden with blond hair wearing a black top and a long skirt that is designed like a treasure map. Sunset quickly recognized the host.
"Dayna!" Sunset shouted.
"Sunset Shimmer!" The girl replied.
As the two girls hugged each other, Twilight soon recognized the girl. "I don't believe it! It's Dayna Treasura Jones!"
Rarity was shocked. "A real life buccaneer. Wow."
Dayna approached the two girls. "Hello, Twilight Sparkle and Rarity. So nice of you girls to come."
"It's nice of you to invite us, Dayna." Twilight replied. "But, why this location?"
"I thought you and your friends would experience something facinating. So, why not a good old fish fry here at the beach."
Sunset looked at the ocean. "You can't go wrong with a view like this."
"That's the spirit." Dayna cheered. "One more thing. I have some pirate clothes for ye to try."
"Somehow, that makes sense." Rarity figured. "Since we're with a pirate, we might as well dress for this occasion."
Later, Twilight had on a magenta long sleeve shirt, black vest, and deep blue Capri style pants. Sunset wore a red and white striped t shirt and blue pants. Sunset's clothes are also ripped. Rarity came out wearing a red ruffled shirt and a long yellow skirt.
"Man, this is awesome." Sunset praised. "We all look like sea worthy pirates."
"Aye, me hartys." Twilight said. "Tis a grand experience ta be sure."
"My goodness, Twilight." Rarity noticed. "You really sound like a pirate."
"Thanks, Rarity. I'm surprised that your not complaining about not wearing shoes."
Rarity chuckled. Then, gave an explanation. "I've seen pictures of barefoot pirates before. So, this does not bother me. However, Sunset's look needs something."
Sunset was a little confused about what Rarity said. She then grabbed a black bandana and wrapped it around Sunset's head.
"I get it." Sunset realized. "Some pirates wear bandanas."
"Right you are, matey." Rarity said.
Dayna came out, and saw the girls dressed up. "Wow! You blokes look so amazing. You landlubbers make great pirates. Arrrr!"
"Thanks, Dayna." Sunset replied happily.
"Well, the fish are cooked, the plates are set, and the tropical punch is poured in the mugs. Time fer lunch!"
Soon, Twilght and her friends and Dayna sat the table. Enjoying the fish, the fruit, and the punch.
"This fish is good." Twilight said happily.
"Indeed." Rarity added. "You are an impressive cook, Dayna."
"Thanks, Mateys." Dayna responded. "You must be glad that I included this fresh fruit and homemade tropical punch."
"The punch is homemade?!" Sunset blurted. "This is non-alcoholic. Right?"
"Of course. You girls have to head home safely. Don't you?"
"Good point."
Twilight raised her mug. "Here's to a great day with this pirate theme."
Everyone raised their mugs, and brought them together. This is indeed a fascinating day.
