Pirates of the Marribbean

Pipsqueak sighed as he completed another sword, and set it on the large rack of swords, that was his tenth in just an hour. The sun was just starting to shine it's warm rays across the Maribbean ocean, and on Ponyville. "I just wish something would happen, sure making swords is great, but I want to be able to use them, oh to sail the seven seas. And have by side, none other than-- PRINCESS LUNA!" Pipsqueak jumped back in surprise as the alicorn mare smirked at his antics. "Oh, uh, Your Majesty," Pipsqueak concluded with a low bow. Luna just rolled her eyes.

"Not your princess anymore Pip, nope, I have decided to denounce the throne for one thing that truly beckons me, I am now the princess of the seas, and captain of the Star Swirl, when I get that great ship back of course. As for now I commadered Celestia's fastest ship, the Golden Griffin." Luna said, looking around Pipsqueak's smith.

"Who's training you? Their work on these swords is excellent." Princess Luna said.

"Oh, uh, that would be Bert, he, uh left to get some supplies." Pipsqueak said. Luna gave him a look.

"Really? You know, I'v known you since I've been back, and I have learned how to tell if you are lying, so I'll ask again, who makes these swords?" Luna said, looking Pipsqueak straight in the eye.

"It, me, I make these swords." Pipsqueak said, sighing after realizing he couldn't keep anything from Luna. "So, Princess, what really brings you here today, and what's with the pirate antics? You haven't played pirate with me since I was a foal." Pipsqueak said, sitting down on a bale of hay, which Luna sat next to him on.

"Who said I was playing? Do remember the stories I told you about being a pirate, and the captain of the Star Swirl, the cursed ship?" Luna said.

"Yeah, but they were just stories, there is no way you were the Black Hawk in reality, that's just illogical, somepony of your beau, er, form, would do something as awes, uh, I mean, evil as that." Pipsqueak said.

"What do you mean evil? You always said that you wanted to be a pirate. As a matter of fact you were just daydreaming about it not two minutes ago." Luna said.

"There is a difference about daydreaming about the somepony you have had your eye on for some time, and daydreaming of being a pirate." Pipsqueak said.

"Hm, so if I told you you had a chance to taste the salty sea breeze, and be my second hand stallion on the Swirl, you wouldn't be interested the slightest?" Luna said.

"Oh yeah, I'll join you on the seven seas in a heart beat," Pipsqueak said with a chuckle, getting up and going back to the forge, "but it will never happen, only an old fairy tail that kept me going when I was a colt." Pipsqueak said.

"It was true."

"What was?" Pipsqueak asked.

"The stories, The Star Swirl, and the thousand year reign of terror of being the most feared pirate of the seven seas, they were all true, and, I want to make new adventures, so, this is your chance, will you join me?" Luna replied.

"Wait, you're not kidding?" Pipsqueak asked disbelievingly. Luna shook her head.

"No Pippy," Luna paused, standing up majestically, as Pipsqueak blushed at his nickname Luna had given to him so long ago, "I'm not kidding, all this talk about harmony, and everypony deserves life, it's a load of horseapples, I have seen so many pirates hung at the gallows, and hung right outside my window, I will never forget their rotting bodies, no, I am for the sea, and if you wish, you may be my second hand man, I'll even grant you the power of my life force, to create a bond so we may both live with each other till the ends of time." Luna said. Pipsqueak stared.

"Life force?"

"It is a property that an alicorn can bestow upon a select few ponies, causing them to be linked in life, and in mind, forever, if one dies the other does, but time cannot kill them." Luna said.

"Blimey, of course I'll join ya, I've been wa'ing for a chance like this!" Pipsqueak said excitedly, talking in his natural accent that he had spent years trying to cover up. Then a knock on the door stopped his excited look, and he regained composure. "Hide, princess, if anypony else knows you're here, we'll never leave." Pipsqueak said under his breath. Luna nodded, and jumped behind a large pile of hay. Pipsqueak walked towards the door, and opened it, just slightly. A pink face was staring at him, and he instantly knew who it was, the local Lady, Diamond Tiara. He opened the door the rest of the way.

"Took you long enough, who were you talking to?" She said snobbily.

"Nopony, what do you need ma'am?" Pipsqueak said.

"Are you sure? I thought I heard you talking?" Diamond said.

"Oh yes, well I tend to, well, talk to myself, it does get lonely around here, why don't you come on in ma'am, and we can discuss business." Pipsqueak said, really hoping she wouldn't agree.

"Very well." Diamond stepped inside. Pipsqueaked mentally groaned as she sat on the hay pile that Luna was hiding under.

"So what do you need? I'm sure Bert would like to know what such a rich Lady is doing here." Pipsqueak said.

"Actually, I'm not here for Bert, I'm here for you Pip." Diamond said, and then seemingly out of nowhere pulled a hoof bracelet out of nowhere, "Pipsqueak, we've known each other for quite a while, and I would like to know, if you would like to be my husband." Diamond said, holding the hoof bracelet out.

"What? Okay, definately not the wierdest offer I've gotten today, but still, that was pretty wierd. Diamond shifted slightly, and ended up kicking the hay pile, and it gave small "oof" Diamond shrieked slightly, as the hay pile moved.

"You know that really hurt" Luna said, rubbing the side of her head with her hoof. Diamond Tiara went wide eyed, then passed out.

"Oh crap, what now?" Pipsqueak said, catching her as she fell, "Damn she's heavier than she looks." Pipsqueak said, but still lifted her easily onto his back.

"Lay her on the hay pile, grab two of your best swords, and get out of here quickly." Luna said, Pipsqueak nodded, and did so, right as a large boom sounded from outside.

"Oh what now?" Pipsqueak said, poking his outside slightly to see everypony running in panic, and a large ball of firey rock was burning in front of him, and then came the Star Swirl...
