//------------------------------// // Blow me down! // Story: The Adventures of Captain Feathersword and Pipsqueak the Pirate // by Probably Minion //------------------------------// The next morning on the day in which the ship was due to return to Ponyville, Captain Feathersword decided to have a little fun with his crew by pulling a prank on them. "This is gonna be funny!" he thought to himself as he placed a banana peel on the step right before the entrance to the upper deck. As soon as the younger ponies were about to get up to the upper deck, Applebloom stepped on the banana peel and slipped backwards causing the other three behind her to fall back down the stairs. "Ha! Got you! Just thought you needed a little something to wake you scalawags up!" said Captain Feathersword. "Well you definitely woke us up but gave us a few bruises." said Applebloom. "Anyway, we're due to dock in Ponyville by either tonight or tomorrow morning so I figured we take the time to sit together as a group and talk about life in general since I already taught you all the skills crucial to being a pirate and I haven't taken much time to get to know you." said Captain Feathersword. "Work for me since we can't really do anything after that prank you pulled on us." said Sweetie Belle. But right when she said this, yet another pirate ship pulled up on the right side of the ship. This time, a glowing green spirit flew to the deck of the ship and yelled through a bullhorn "Captain Feathersword, this is the Flying Dutchman. You have my treasure. Get ready to duel." "Ok me hardies. It looks like we have one more sword battle before we get back home. Quickly, go get swords." said Captain Feathersword and the younger ponies scrambled quickly to gather the swords for the final and most difficult sword battle.
