After the brothers abandoned the cruise the girls were on, they began to head for land with their newfound riches. The pair made it to shore, letting out small bursts of laughter. However, upon setting foot on the beachfront, they were met by a very hostile group of girls.

"Well, look, dear brother. We have some guests," said Flim, keeping a cool, calm expression.

"Indeed I do, dear brother," responded Flam.

Before anything could be said, Applejack violently grabbed the pair as her expression told the whole story.

"Why, if it isn't our old friend, Applejack?" said Flim with a sleazy smile.

"How have you been, my dear?" smiled Flam.

"Shut yer traps! Where's Pinkie Pie?!" demanded Applejack.

"Oh, you know. Here, there, everywhere. Honestly, it's hard to keep track of someone so hyperactive as she is." said Flim.

"By the way, can we interest you in buying some of your family's apple cider?" said Flam.

"Give me three seconds with these guys!" stated Aria as she cracked her knuckles.

"Easy, Aria," said Adagio to her sister.

"I can handle it, Aj," stated Twilight as she put her hand on her country friend's shoulder.

Applejack's anger died down as she listened to her best friend. The farm girl let go of the Flim Flam brothers as Twilight approached them, but not before giving a hand gesture signaling she was watching them.

"You two have a way of avoiding the police with your schemes. But my brother happens to be on the police force. I wonder who he'd believe more: You two or his flesh and blood." stated Twilight as she smiled while pushing up her glasses.

Safe to say, both brothers sweated a bit at hearing that fact.

"Now, now. I'm sure there's no need for extreme measures," stuttered Flim.

"Perhaps there's a way we can work things out," added Flam.

Everyone had glaring faces as they stared at the two con artists. Meanwhile, the duo and their monkey friend were closing in on Junk Harbor. They had been traveling for a bit after escaping from Crosshair and discovering his secret.

"How close are we, Phil?" asked Pinkie to the monkey.

The monkey was leaping from tree to tree. He stopped as he sniffed the air and pointed in a direction.

"He says it's that way. Let's go!" stated Sonata as the pair began to follow the animal again.


The girls began walking in the direction that the monkey pointed in. They soon discover a cove filled with shipwrecks of different sizes and other pieces of junk.

"This seems to be the place," stated Pinkie as they could see the entrance.

"Come on. Let's get a better look!" said Sonata.

The two girls entered the place, and they walked past the entrance. Their surroundings were nothing but piles of metal and full of junk. The girls didn't notice someone tracking them as they walked past the piles. They were unaware of the panther limping behind as she eyed the duo.

"Look at these wrecks," said Pinkie.

"I bet there are some things we can use to help defend ourselves from that hunter," the former siren said to the pink-haired girl.

"Then let's get digging!" exclaimed Pinkie.

The duo began to dig through the wrecks. They found many useful supplies, parts, and tools within the wreckage. As the pair gathered materials, a sound was heard, which caused Sonata to look around. The siren girl sensed something as she caught Pinkie's attention.

"Hey Pinkie, you hear something?"

The party girl stopped and put her hand to her ear. It flicked against the wind as a faint sound was heard. A growl was heard as they turned behind them to see what was making that sound. They found a panther limping with a trap secured on its left hind leg. The girls were a bit scared as, despite limping, it could still kill them with no trouble. The feline approached them as the girls backed up a bit.

"Hey there, Mr. Panther," said Pinkie as she cautiously approached the panther.

The panther snarled at the pair. Both girls leaned back a bit as Pinkie slowly made her way to the giant feline that could kill her in 2 seconds. The panther growled once more before it collapsed from the pain in its leg.

"Oh, no. She seems to be hurt!" said Sonata.

The girls approached the downed animal as they saw how it winced on the ground and the bruise on its leg.

"Looks like Crosshair doesn't believe in honorable hunting," stated Pinkie.

"No. But the least we can do is help this poor animal," said Sonata.

"I saw a first aid kit and grabbed it. Could you help me get the panther leg fixed up?" said Pinkie.

Sonata did as Pinkie asked as she lifted the leg of the giant feline. Pinkie appeared as she had a stethoscope and put the first aid kit on the floor. She opened it up and began to do some basic first aid.

"Lucky Fluttershy taught me how to do this," said the eccentric party girl.

"Well, make sure you give her some thanks when we get home," said Sonata.

"Okay, that should do it," replied Pinkie.

The girl had finished tying the bandage around the leg of the panther as she and Sonata took a step back. The panther came to and found her leg bandaged. It licked the area where the bandages were. The giant cat then looked as it saw the two girls.

"You're welcome," said Pinkie.

The panther sensed the kindness in the girls as she gave a non-threatening growl. The panther sensed the kind act of the girls as she gave them a non-threatening growl.

"Hey girl, you want to stay with us till your leg heals?" asked Sonata.

The panther looked at the duo once more before she nodded.

"Good. Let's get these supplies back before it gets dark," Pinkie said as she began picking up some materials.

With that, the girls began to gather their supplies as they exited the junk harbor with their new friend in tow.

Author's Note: It looks like Flim and Flam are in some hot water. And with the girls and Sonata's sisters hoping to get some answers, it seems like it's a matter of time before they discovered what happened to their friends. And speaking of the girls, it seems they too made a new friend in a giant feline after tending to its wounds. As always, leave a review expressing your thoughts and comments.
