Justin had spent all night to his own entertainment, and the pirates great dismay, singing his heart out. Why? Well, because he felt like it, and he wanted to stretch his vocals. He sang many a ballad as well as random things he saw out the port hole. When morning came, a wave of sighs of relief as the crew were about to get some shut-eye for once.
"WAKE UP CALL!" The voice of their captain rang out above deck.
All were groaning except for one who hopped up from a small hammock and placed their hooves down onto the wood floor. A lone small pony walked on over to the door that the human was kept behind and managed to open it to be greeted with a smile. She smiled back at him a waved her hoof.
"Mornings Mr. Humans!" She recited cheerfully.
"Morning kid, how'd ya sleep?" Justin replied with his own smile, some bags under his eyes from staying up.
"Greats! Thanks to yours songs!" She exclaimed with some newfound energy she haven't had for a while.
"Aw shucks kid.. it's not my song, it's someone, or pony, else's song they taught me to sing." Justin replied just a bit bashfully. "Beside, I wanted to see how many ponies I could put to sleep with that. Apparently you. Congrats kid."
The filly smiled at him before looking back as Scarlet called for the crew again, shutting the door behind her as she scampered off so the captain wouldn't be angry at her. Justin couldn't help but d'aw everytime he saw the filly, but she really needed to work on her language a bit more. He pulled on the rather useless shackles since, well, they weren't really restricting him any and were barely attached to the wall as is.
"I forgot to tie my shoelaces.." Justin muttered to himself as he looked to his feet.
Manehattan, A Dock Somewhere
Vinyl had a foreleg wrapped around Derpy as the two sat on the edge of a pier. She figured that the Pegasus would've enjoyed a day near some calming waves. The sun was approaching midday now and Derpy was still down. To be honest, Vinyl was too, but was having a harder time not showing it.
Everything they seemed to do around the apartment carried a bit of lonely feel to it. Publically, it seemed to go unnoticed with a busy day. No pony would've ever known that Vinyl was bothered by something since she hid away up in the DJ booth at night. No pony would've seen Derpy during most of the day since she barely left the room for anything but the occasional muffin or ice cream cone. Yet, if any pony saw the two as they were now, they could see that something was wrong, that something had been eating away at them.
Back on the Pirating Vessel
The sun was highest it was in the sky, The crew was sluggish at best to say since only really two ponies actually got any sleep. Captain Scarlet because, well, she was a heavy sleeper and it wasn't that well-kept of a secret. Then there was the small filly on her way down with a tray. The tray holding a small glass of water, some bread, and little brown blocks that she made herself. Anyway, she slept soundly since she actually enjoyed the lullaby that the human sung out.
She made it to his door and managed to get it open with little problem and slipped inside without any pony else actually noticing. Inside, the human was busy preparing something he dreamt about earlier this morning. The filly set the tray down as she watched on in wonder.
"Dos yous thinks this wills reallys works?" She asked looking at the contraption.
"I sure as hell hope so kid." Justin replied as he was tying bands of rubber that the filly found for him.
"Fudge Dipp" She simply said to him.
"What?" Justin looked at her, a bit confused.
"Mys names is Fudge Dipp... withs twos 'P's ats thes ends." She smiled up at him.
"Strangely... I like your name. I'm Justin. Nice to meet ya.. I think." He chuckled a bit as he went back to fastening the bands to the porthole. "Well, yeah, of course I think this'll work also. This window is giving me a perfect view of the harbor! Did ya bring what I asked?"
Fudge nodded and (somehow) pulled out a bottle, explorer telescope, parchment, and a pen from her bandana. Justin just watched her pull those item from, what he liked to call now, 'Fudge Dipp's Magical Store-Anything Bandana.' It intrigued him how she did it. He wiped the crumbs from his mouth and smiled at her.
"Thanks Fudge" Justin grinned as he ruffled up her somewhat short mane. "You're the best goddamned pony on this boat."
"I has nos ideas whats thats words means, but you'res welcomes." Fudge giggled from getting her mane ruffled.
"Now... to see if this works..." Justin grinned as he took up the glass of water, downed it, then set the item on the pad, and pulled back. He let go to watch the glass go flying towards the city and his grin got wider. "Fudge! Quick! Let's get that letter ready!"
Vinyl sighed in defeat for her attempt to raise the mare's spirit up just even a little, it was no use. She hung her head a bit, staring down at the water. Both ears perked at the sound of glass shattering behind them, Derpy got up and moved to the pieces of broken glass with a bit of concern as to where it came from.
"What is it?" Vinyl asked, not bothering to look.
"It looks like... a cup.." Derpy replied as her hoof gestured to it.
Vinyl was about to move until a bottle then conked her right on her noggin. Bouncing off the unicorn's head and into the pegasus' outstretched hoof as if it was planned on cue. Derpy looked at the bottle with a puzzled look. Vinyl groaned as she rubbed her head and getting up with a slight snarl before looking at the bottle and walking over to it. The bottle was stained a green that was transparent and had a rolled up piece of paper in it.
Carefully, Derpy removed the piece up paper and unfurled it to find this note:
Dearest Derp and Vinyl,
As you two may already be aware, I have disappeared by being nabbed off the streets by a band of pirates and being held on their ship. I you would so kindly look out to the water so I may point out this ship.
Both mares looked to the coast to see a cruise ship on its way out. before looking back to the paper.
No.. not that one. The other one.
Then the two looked over to a skipper. Then back at the page.
Warmer, but no cigar. Look to the statue then off a little, then you'll see it.
The two followed the instructions given to see a larger boat anchored a ways off from the statue. Staring at it before looking back to the note.
There we are! Now, I don't want you two to come after me for I am a very capable human being and planning my escape as we speak with the help of this adorable filly by the name of Fudge Dipp. Yes that's how she spells her name, not a typo. Anyway, you two don't have to worry about your heads too much for I will return to you here shortly. As for now- HOLY SHIT THIS FUDGE IS AMAZING! HOLD ON! I'LL SEND SOME OVER RIGHT AWAY!
The mares looked at eachother in slight confusion until Vinyl got hit with another bottle that she caught this time. Looking over at the boat with a bit of a scowl. Then her eyes went to the bottle and Vinyl forgot why she was a bit irritated.
"Oh hey, Fudge!" Vinyl exclaimed as she looked at the bottle with two small blocks of fudge in it.
Sorry if that hit anyone. Anyway! I should leave the letter here. don't alert the guards or any other pony of my whereabouts, I should be out by tomorrow and safe.
With best intentions,
Your Human, Justin
"He does know that we're supposed to be leaving tomorrow... right?" Derpy looked to Vinyl who just shrugged at her.
Justin grinned as he peered through the telescope at the two mares on the dock. Derpy seemed to be investigating the glass that landed near them which meant he would be right on target. With quick and swift movements, the bottle with his note was ready and launched straight out the porthole and on course to them. Fudge just watched him as he smiled away and craftily handed her the telescope back.
"Sos... nows whats?" Fudge asked as she stuffed the telescope down her bandana.
"Now.. we cause a commotion like no other..." Justin said to her with a wide grin.
The door to the room opened as a stallion walked, he quickly noticed the contraption near the human and quickly got alerted. Fudge dashed out the open door as Justin stood up with a faux smile that looked sick and twisted as his hand were up to his shoulders. The stallion took a step back and the door automatically closed as he started to shiver at the sight of the approaching creature.
"H-hay! What'r you think you're doin?" She stallion tried to command.
"Cool your jets man, Imma help you relax..." Justin replied as het inched closer to the stallion with a smile. His hand reaching for the stallion.
