1 Year Anniversary

“Well, it’s been one month since we set sail” said Frost happily, though a bit drunkenly. To their great fortune, they stumbled upon a alcohol cache on a deserted island while searching for their lost comrade. Granted, only a day passed before they all decided to take a break and party a bit. Brick Break, a pony they saved, moved out all the kegs and laid them in the middle and on the sides of the boat. Everyone had a fun time. Frost chuckled as he watched one of the more fun ponies on the ship start dancing. She sure had the talent for it. “Woo! Go shake it Crimson!” he yelled with a laugh as he slipped off the ridge and fell to his side on the deck. He laughed even more. and rolled into Sierra

Sierra smiled at Frost. It was rare to see him enjoy himself. Then again, it was rare to see anyone having fun on this ship. Especially since their friend left. Though she wouldn’t admit it out loud, she actually missed Dusk. At times it was a little depressing watching his conversion from a young colt afraid of dying or something happening to the people around him to a brave colt willing to sacrifice his life to save others. She took a sip of her watered down whiskey. It was a bit strong for her tastes, but enjoyed it at times. She tossed the bottle away and it bounced off the deck and boinged into Skyfall’s nose.

Skye giggled madly as she watched her friends make fools of themselves. It was nice to let go. She hadn’t had a moment to relax since last week. She stretched her wings and tried to float up a bit. She didn’t have that much success as she flew down in a spiral way that would be repeated by two pegasi in the distant future. She accidentally talked Hawke who happily caught his buddy.

“Whoo! Hang on there Blu-Wing!” he laughed as he rolled over and over until he flew off of the deck. He barely hung on to her as he flew back to the ship and dropped her off. He fluttered for a few more seconds before he landed and rolled forward. “Like a badass.” he said in a cool way. No one noticed him. “...You guys suck.” he complained. He turned to look at his sister.

Glade yawned sleepily. She had two whole bottles of wine and was ready to go take a lengthy nap. She smacked her lips a few times and relaxed. She saw a pair of Pegasi kick a ball at each other while flying. It was a pretty cool sight.

The rest of the ship was engaged in all sorts of fun and debauchery. Sports, drinking, a few going at it even was happening all over. It was a time for celebration and a time to be happy that they were alive. The journey was long, troublesome, and harrowing, but many were simply happy they were still here. Just ahead from now, they had a long journey ahead of them, but for now, they could simply enjoy themselves.

And around this time, Dusk was on Plastic Beach singing Plastic Beach. When he wondered why it was called that, it was because the whole beach had everything wash up on it...Especially a barrage of bottles from a certain ship~


Author's Note

A short little fun chapter I did for the 1 Year Anniversary of the Exile Trilogy. I might add a part two to this chapter later this week as a review of the events up to this point.
