"Pfft. You know, I never thought that something like you people would-"
"SHUT UP!" Pinkie Pie was cut off by yet another bucket of water sloshing over her, dousing her yet again. She rolled her eyes and left a continuous plain look on her face. Fluttershy placed the bucket back on the ground, and went to once more tighten the binds of rope holding Pinkie to the wooden pole. Pinkie Pie bent her leg around the pole and managed to kick Fluttershy in the shin with a stifling grin, that broke into a huge laugh. Fluttershy let out a low growl, and turned to the head of the ship.
"ZECORA! ZZEECCCOORRAA!" she yelled, and grunted as she walked up the steps and down the trap door into the head room. Fluttershy saw that useless, lazy zebra sleeping on the hammock that faced the bottom window. She scowled, and rezolved. "I guess I'll get it myself." she thought. She threw open a drawer and pulled out a dirty white rag.
Fluttershy returned on deck with the white rag in her hand, as Pinkie turned her head in confusion. Fluttershy, without hesitation, gagged Pinkie to keep her from making her usual snarky comments. Pinkie slumped her eyes and turned her head down as she realized she wasn't getting out of this one. But she had done it so often! She wasn't gonna let down her guard down in front of Fluttershy. She let a sly grin on her face, then tried to kick Fluttershy in the throat. That was the last straw. Fluttershy let a fist down that knocked Pinkie out on the first hit.
Pinkie awoke with heavy metal chains binding her hands together. The gag was no more over her mouth. She was in a dark room at the bottom of the ship. She figured no one was watching her, so she let out. She put her head down and let a single tear fall from her face.
"What have you done this time Pinkie?" She let echo throughout the room.
"Hahahaha!" came a booming laugh from the other side of the chamber. A real laugh. Not a malicious, evil laugh such as Fluttershy's when she had first found herself on this ship. A funny laugh.
"So what got you here?" The invisible voice said.
"Tried sneaking onto the ship with stolen goods."
"Amateur." Pinkie couldn't help but start laughing at her cellmate's joke, and she laughed too. All of a sudden Zecora opened up the trap door above them.
"Be quiet, and save our ears! We don't want to have to gag you in here!" as Zecora slammed the door, the two girls let out chuckles. Pinkie used the chance to catch a glimpse of her mysterious cellmate. A young woman of her age, with tattered clothes and rainbow hair, covered in burns and scars. It was obvious that she had been here for a long time, by the looks of her scrawny figure and choppy hair.
"So what do they call you?"
"Pinkie Pie."
"Cool. I'm Rainbow Dash."
