Scootaloo spoke up, "if you were stuck on an island, what would be one thing you'd take with you over anything else?" "Twilight." Nopony answered. "Why Twilight?" "Because then she'd solve my problem of being stuck on an island." "Ugh, okay, besides another pony, what would you bring with you?" Scootaloo rolled her eyes. "You." Nopony yawned. "I said no other ponies." "I know, that's why I brought my chicke-" Scootaloo punched Nopony in the gut. "Can I get a serious answer please?!" "Why?" "I'm bored, come on, play along with me!" Scootaloo pouted. "Alright alright..." Nopony sighed, "Tell you what, three guesses. It's something I wouldn't feel right traveling without." "A gun?" "Something that puts a roof over my head, and can make me a little money occasionally." "A gun?" "Something you and I both have in common." Nopony scowled. "...A gun?" Scootaloo tilted her head. Nopony stared at her. "Oh, our cardboard box!" Scootaloo giggled, "that makes a lot more sense." "Scootaloo, do you have a gun?" "I'd bring a boat." "Scootaloo." "Yeah, I know, that's cheating..." "Oh screw it, I know you don't actually have a gun." Nopony shook his head. "Oh, I know what I would bring!" Scootaloo smiled. "What?" "A megaphone!" "Why?" "So I could scream back at seagulls!" Nopony stopped to think about that. "I know that look on your face..." Scootaloo rubbed her hooves in a sinister manner. "What are you plotting?" "CAW!" "Ah!" Twilight almost fell out of the air, looking for the source of the noise. Scootaloo was perched on top of Sugarcube Corner staring at Twilight, looking slightly deranged. "CAW!" Scootaloo screamed into the megaphone again. "Why are you-" "CAW!" "Stop-" "CAW!" "Ahhh!!" Twilight covered her ears flying away. "CAW! CAW!!"
