Princess Celestia: "What in...ow!"







[She feels a sudden stabbing sensation on her flank, right in the Sun cutie mark. Turning her head down in anger, she finds...

A little Griffon cub, poking her in the rump with a toy sword. On the far side of the room is a Changeling filly, wielding paper balls as if they were grenades. Celestia notices that they both wore pirate hats and eyepatches.]





Changeling Filly: "We've been discovered! First Mate Brom, what do we do?!"





Griffon Cub: "Quit your blubberin'! I'll hold Sunbutt off, you go get the Captain! He and his lass are the only hope!!"





[At that moment Pipsqueak charges in, with Dinky in tow. They are also dressed as pirates, though in more elaborate costumes.]





"Captain" Pipsqueak: "You lubbers thinkin o' runnin'? Not on my ship, you ruddy well won't!" [Draws a toy sword]





"Lieutenant" Dinky: "Yeah!"









[Meanwhile, Luna is laughing her lungs out, watching the incident from a scrying mirror.]





Princess Luna: [Between laughs] "Not so bored now, eh 'Tia?" [Between laughs] "Not so bored now, eh 'Tia?"

[Celestia sighs, and gets to the paperwork...only for a wad of paper to hit her in the head.]
