"I know!" Shouted Apple Bloom "Let's go and ask Zecora if she needs some help with her potions! Maybe we'll get our Cutie marks for potion making!" "Are you sure?" Asked Scootaloo "She lives in the Everfree Forest,with all those monsters and scary looking trees!" "Come on Scootaloo," Said Sweetie Belle "Are you a chicken? Bwaak bwak bwaaak!" "Stop it!" Scootaloo shouted "Fine I'll go," "So it's settled then,we're going to the Everfree forest to help zecora!" Apple Bloom said. The Cutie Mark Crusaders started running from their Clubhouse to the entrance of the Everfree forest. While bumping into a few ponies they made it to the Entrance of the Everfree forest quickly. They stood at the entrance to catch their breath and continued deeper into the Everfree forest. "Are you sure this is the right way Apple Bloom?" Said Scootaloo with a quivering tone. "Yeah it's two times to the right,two times to the left,two times to the right again,two times to the left again,and one time to the right,and we should be there!"Apple Bloom said "Or was it left,right,left,right?" "Girls,don't you think we were here before?" Asked Sweetie Belle. "What do you mean?" Said Apple Bloom. "Well i see some hoofprints here," Said Sweetie Belle. "But these hoofprints are too big for our hooves!" Exclaimed Apple Bloom. "It must be the Headless Horse!" Shouted Scootaloo jumping on Apple Bloom while trembling in fear. "Get off me!" Shouted Apple Bloom throwing Scootaloo of her back. "Sorry," Said Scootaloo with a quiet voice. "This isn't the headless horse! I don't think a headless horse would carry a wheel car with him. Look at these wheel tracks!" Said Applebloom. "Maybe its a lost pony! We have to help him or her!" Shouted Sweetie Belle. "Do you think this is a good idea?" Said Scootaloo but Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle were already running infront her. "Hey,wait for me!" Shouted Scootaloo and started to run for them. "We must be close! The tracks look new and muddy!" Said Apple Bloom while running. "Watch out!" Screamed Sweetie Belle while they both crashed into a wooden Wheel cart,releasing some barrels on the ground. "Heh,good thing i was behind you!" Said Scootaloo giggling. "Oh no! We dropped some barrels and the pony Isn't here!" Said Apple Bloom. "Maybe the Faceless Pony ate her!" Screamed Scootaloo and jumped on Apple Blooms back. "Get off me!" Shouted Apple Bloom as she threw Scootaloo off her back. "How can a Faceless Pony eat a Pony if he doesn't have a mouth?" "Maybe his front hooves open into mouths that eat ponies!" Screamed Sweetie Belle and both her and Scootaloo jumped on Apple Blooms back. "There's no such thing as a Faceless Pony!" She shouted and threw Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle off her back. "Who goes there?!" said a Stallions voice. "My Supplies!" A grey coated Earth Pony Stallion with a black mane and a old red jacket jumped out of some bushes and grabbed a barrel before it rolled into a ditch. "Who did this to my supplies!?" Angrily shouted the gray pony. "It was us sir,we're sorry" Said Apple Bloom in a quiet voice. "Who are ye?" Asked the gray stallion. "Are ye thieves?!" "No sir,we're the Cutie Mark Crusaders!" Said Sweetie Belle. "The Cutie Mark Crusaders?" Asked the gray stallion. "Yes,The Cutie Mark Crusaders,we want to get our cutie marks," Said Apple Bloom. "and we we're going to our friend Zecora in the Everfree forest to help her in Potion making to see if we will get out Cutie Marks!" "We're sorry for throwing your barrels out of the wheel cart,we'll help you round up these barrels." Said Sweetie Belle. "That would be great!" Said the gray stallion with a grin. They rolled the barrels up nto the wheel cart and helped the gray stallion push it. After a few hours of pushing they arrived at a big beach with a huge sea,and a wooden ship anchored at the beach. "Is that you ship?" Asked Apple Bloom. "Yes it is,now can ye help me load these supplies on my ship?" "Sure!" Said Apple Bloom. When they finished loading the barrels in the ship's storage they went up to the deck and saw how big it is. "Are you a pirate?" Asked Scootaloo "Yes i am," Said the gray stallion "My name is Black Mane,I'm the fear of the seven seas!" "But where's your crew?" Asked Apple Bloom with a raised eyebrow. "They all left,because they didn't want to go on a adventure for the old artifact the Hurricane crown!" Said Black Mane. "The Hurricane crown?" Asked Scootaloo. "It's a old artifact,at the bottom of the sea," said Black Mane "It is said that whoever wears it can control the sea!" Said Black mane. "Whoa,that sounds awesome!" Said Scootaloo. "Yes,now I must go with my supplies on the hunt for the artifact!" Said Black Mane. "But you don't have a crew!" Said Apple Bloom. "Don't need a bunch of cowards telling me I'm crazy." Said Black Mane. "We Can be your crew!" Said Scootaloo. "What?" Said Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. "This is a once in a lifetime chance for a good adventure,and we can get our cutie marks!" Said Scootaloo. "But what about all the ponies back at home?" Said Sweetie Belle. "If ye want to be my crew i can send a letter to your friends at home through my sea gull messenger" Said Black Mane clapping his hooves. A sea gull arrived with a oiled feather and paper and Black Mane gave the oiled feather and paper to Apple Bloom. "Write something to your friends at home and my Sea Gull will give the message to them. But beware,these adventures last long at sea!" Said Black Mane. Apple Bloom took the paper and oiled feather and started to write: Dear Applejack, Sweetie Belle,Scootaloo and me are on a pirate adventure! We will be back when we find the Hurricane crown! Be back soon,Don't worry about us,we're with Black Mane! - Apple Bloom "I'm done! Now lets go on a adventure!" said Apple Bloom as she released the Sea Gull and it flew in the direction of Ponyville. "Aye aye Cutie Mark Crusaders!" Black Mane said. He pulled up the Anchor and opened the sails. They started to sail to the open sea.
