Pipsqueak walked into the pub and immediately greeted Applebloom. "well ello there Applebloom! how are you?" Pip asked,  "Oh just Dandy, ever since i bought this place from berry punch i have been gettin' a appleload of buisness!" Applebloom said in her farmers accent, "well what have ya'll been doing? ponyville missed you when you left with that ship-o-yers!"   "heh yeah about that....." Pip started, "you crashed it didn't you?" Applebloom laughed, "N-no! i just need a new crew!" Pipsqueak squeaked living up to his name, "well why did ya'll come to this here pub?" said Applebloom "well there are a lot of "sailors" at pubs so i thought i would look here,"  Pipsqueak elaborated, "look at this, its why i need a crew," Pip put a map on the bar, "So Applebloom, i need some ponies to help me,"  "oh! let meh call Scoots and Sweetie," Applebloom then called them over, "What is it Applebloom?" Scootaloo asked, "you need something?" said Sweetiebelle. "well ya'll better tell Dinky she is in charge of the pub, we're going on a adventure!" Applebloom said exited. "Wait what? no you guys don't have to come i came t-" Pip started "TOO BAD! We are coming!"all three girls said. Pip gulped, "well ok.." "YAY!" "well, where's ya'll's ship?" said Applebloom, "come on then!" Pip said, "WE GOTTA ADVENTURE!" "CMC style?" said Scootaloo, "you know what? Sure!" Pip smiled, "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS TREASURE FINDERS!!" Scootaloo groaned and said. "Could you be any louder? THIS my friend is why we didn't let you be a crusader as a foal." "oh come on Scoots! You coming or not?" Pip laughed. "PIPSQUEAK?" said a familiar voice. "oh nonononononono!" Pipsqueak realized who it was. A blond unicorn jumped onto Pip giving him a squeeze, "O-ok D-dinky you can let go now!" Dinky let go and looked at the map that was still on the bar. "Ooooh! planning a adventure without me? Pip! I'm coming too!! " "But than who will take care of the pub while we are gone?" Applebloom asked trying to not let Dinky come/ "I will tell Star Blaze he's taking over!" Dinky zoomed off. Dinky accidentally bumped into a pegasus and both of them fell to the floor. "Woah! Dinky Hooves! Careful!" The yellow pegasus got to her hooves, she was a yellow pegasus with a purple mane and she had a green star as her cutie mark. Dinky looked at the pegasus and said "Sorry Pluto! Are you ok?" "Yeah, oh!" She looked at pipsqueak, "PIP! Where have you been??" Pluto rushed over at Pip "Well! Is there any foalhood friend of mine who ISN'T here?" Pipsqueak laughed "Well there are two" said a stallion who walked in. "Did you forget about us?" This time it was a mare. "Ruby? Featherweight? Now THIS is a reunion!" Sweetie said in a happy voice. "Ruby! Pluto! Featherweight! look at this old treasure map Pip found!" Said Scootaloo. "COUNT US IN!" All the ponies said. "Looks like i have got me a crew!" Said Pip "To the ship!"
