A Pirate's love

"Now can I tell my story?"" Scootaloo whined.

"Fine. Go ahead." Sweetie said. Scootaloo jumped up.

"Yes, finally. Now, where should I start.

I was born in the small town of Lincolt. I was raise in Celestial House Orphanage, ever since I was young. No matter how cute the name sounds, it was a horrible place. So I did what any responsible filly my age would do, run away in the dead of night."

"Are ya kiddin'? That's the the last thing any responsible filly would do. That was just idiotic and-" Apple Bloom stated, but was interrupted.

"Ok, I get it. I should have thought it out more. Now let me move on. I didn't interrupt you guys." Scootaloo protested.

"Yes you did." Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Spike yelled in unison. Scootaloo shrugged it off.

"So anyways,

I forgot to pack food for the day-"

"Figures." Apple Bloom mumbled.

"-so I kinda, maybe, sort of… broke into the bakery and stole a few cookies. It was a good thing the Cakes didn't catch me.

So anyways, I gotten pretty good at stealing and pickpocketing, until the day I was caught.

I was walking in the streets, trying to find somepony who wouldn't notice me, and I finally found her. She was none other than, Rainbow Dash. Dun Dun Dun."

"Dun Dun Dun? Really?" Apple Bloom questioned.

"Don't hate me for adding excitement to this." Scootaloo stated.

"Rainbow Dash was only the riches and fastest pony in Equestria. Daughter to the creator of the Wonderbolts. My all time hero.

I snuck up behind her, and searched soundlessly through her saddle bags. Just then, she looked behind her."

"Hold on a minute. If she was your hero, then why did ya try an' steal from 'er?"

"I was desperate, ok. Hunger can drive anypony crazy. Now let me continue.

"Hey kid, what are you doing?" She yelled. I grabbed as much change as I could and bolted. She was hot on my trail. It was probably a dumb idea to head towards a dead end ally. So I did the only thing I could do at a time like this.

I broke down crying.

"Please don't hurt me. I only wanted a few bits for some food."

"Come with me. Now!"

I didn't have time to think or asked questions. I followed her, not knowing where we were going.

For some reason, she led me to a ship off the coast. It was huge, yet it was really old. Rainbow led me to this pony, which was Ol Stolen Gold. Captain of the SGS."

"SGS?" Apple Bloom question, utterly confused.

"Yeah. It stands for 'Stolen Gold's Ship.' He wasn't very smart." Scootaloo clarified, earning 'Ohhs' from the others.

"Well, I heard about Stolen Gold before, and the second I saw him, I tried to make a break for it, but Rainbow held me down. She dragged me over to the captain.

"Second mate Dash. Who is this abomination?" He asked, pointing at me.

"Sir, this filly tried to pickpocket me when I wasn't looking. And she would have succeeded, if I didn't turn around." Rainbow explained.

"Well, then. She could be of use to us. Such skill for somepony so young. Bring her aboard." So, I was dragged aboard and fitted for *Ugh* a dress. They said it was to help me 'fit in' with the locals.

And we set sail for weeks on the hard sea and yadee yadee yada. I was a pickpocket along with Rainbow Dash. I grabbed the bits and she flew us off before anyone could notice. But one day, I was caught stealing from the captain.

You wouldn't believe how many time Stolen Gold hit me. I still have the scars to prove it. He even threatened to make me 'walk the plank,' whatever that means. With one last hit to my head, I was knocked out. When I woke up later, I was here."

Scootaloo finished with a huff.

"What about you? How were you kidnapped?" Scootaloo asked Fluttershy.

"I was at my wedding when the pirates crashed through the wall. Then, a purple unicorn blasted my father with magic and hurled him to a wall. When I went to him, the others blocked my way. They threw a net over me and I fell and hit my head. Then, I woke up here."

"Ooooo. That's tough. I mean, getting kidnapped on your wedding day, not cool." Scootaloo said. Fluttershy shrugged.

"It's fine. I didn't love him anyway. He was spoiled, and selfish, and so full of himself." Fluttershy stressed.

"Wow. Ah can see why ya didn't want ta marry him." Apple Bloom agreed.

Then, they heard a growling sound.

"W-What's that?" Fluttershy panicked.

"That, was my stomach. Anypony know when lunch is?" Scootaloo asked.

"They should be coming down in a bit." Spike assured. Just then, they heard hoof steps coming down the stairs.

"Alright you miserable land lovers. Lunch time." Twilight came into the light. Her peg leg and eyepatch were gone, proving that they were fake. She lit her horn and grabbed a set of keys. Twilight unlocked the CMC's cell door and let them out.

They scurried out of there quick, eager to get a bite to eat.

Twilight turned to Fluttershy's cage, making her squeak in fear. Twilight opened the door and undid her chains.

"The captain would like a word with yee." Twilight said in a scratchy voice, followed by many coughs.

"Sorry, pirate voices aren't my thing." She said with a laugh. Fluttershy gave her a surprised look. Twilight saw this and laughed again.

"Oh, I get it. You thought I was going to be mean and scary." She said. Fluttershy nodded.

"Well, I've only been here for 3 months. They haven't corrupted me yet, and I'm going to keep it that way." Twilight declared. Then her face hardened.

"But in order to do that, I have to act like them." Twilight sighed.

"Oh, that must be awful Miss… Um?" Fluttershy broke off at the end, releasing that she didn't know the unicorn's name.

"Oh, how rude of me. My name is Twilight Sparkle." She said. Fluttershy was surprised again. This was the pony Spike told her about.

"It's an honor to meet you. Spike told me so much about you." Fluttershy stated.

"He has?" Twilight shot Spike a look. Spike rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

"Oh yes. I'm so sorry you got taken from your home." Fluttershy said, trying to show sympathy for the poor unicorn.

"It's fine. I shoul-"

"Sparkle, hurry up and bring the prisoners." A scratchy female voice called. Twilight rolled her eyes.

"Alright, let's get this over with. Come here girls." Twilight said to the CMC. She grabbed a pair of shackles from the wall and adjusted them to each of their hoofs.

"Sorry to do this girls, but I have to." Twilight apologized. She turned to Fluttershy.

"Well, let's go meet the captain." With that, Twilight led the others upstairs.
