Twilight, can you slow down a bit?
Sorry, Spike. It's just Pinkie Pie,
Rarity and Applejack are getting back
from their Seaward Shoals boat trip
and I can't wait to hear all about it!
It's such a shame Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy
had to miss it for their
Cloudsdale flight school reunion!
Maybe the rest of us not going was for the best anyway.
I know the three of them were really
looking forward to getting out of their element.
Getting out of their element?
I think they all just wanted to try something new.
Huh, I guess a boat trip qualifies as that.
My only worry is that they'll be so excited
they'll talk over each other
and I'll miss some of the details!
Just to be safe, I may need you to take notes.
Uh... right.
So how was the trip?
Well, at least you won't have
to worry about them talking over each other.
I don't know what happened
on that boat trip, but once Rarity,
Applejack and Pinkie Pie
have some tea and talk it out,
I'm sure everypony will feel better.
Come on in, everypony!
Gummy, Opalescence and Winona?
Well, this is a surprise!
Aren't Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Applejack with you?
Sorry darling, but I must decline the invitation to your soiree.
While I'm sure it will be positively resplendent,
there are certain other ponies
I would rather not associate with at the moment. Rarity.
Rarity's not coming? Awww.
So I polished my scales for nothing.
Sorry I can't make it, but I'm still a mite upset
about everything that happened on the boat. Applejack.
Sorry I can't make the tea party today,
but there's a small problem with the guest list.
Plus, I'm right in the middle of a very important cupcake.
Pinkie.
Come on, Spike!
Since our friends won't come here and tell us what happened,
we'll just have to go to them!
Right behind you!
I'm sorry, but my mane
wasn't made to support marine life.
Ruined, completely ruined.
Oh, I don't know, Rarity, maybe you could-
Throw it away? Yes, I agree.
Just another innocent casualty
of that disastrous boat trip.
About that. Spike and I
were wondering what happened out there.
Please, darling,
I don't know if I'll ever be able to discuss it.
It's far too painful!
If it's too difficult to talk about,
we completely understand.
Well, since you dragged it out of me.
It all started at the docks.
I knew Applejack and Pinkie Pie
wanted to get out of their element,
so I thought I would surprise
them with an elegant cruise!
I had brought a bag with just a few key essentials.
Alright, ponies!
Prepare yourselves for luxury on the high seas!
That sounds... fun?
The sea air carries a portent for trouble this day.
Tis a treacherous and perilous journey that lies ahead of us!
We sail to adventure, or our very doom.
I... have no idea what you just said,
but your wardrobe is delightfully seaworthy!
Despite Applejack's colorful seafarer attitude,
I was still determined
to get my friends out of their element
by providing all the refinements of a luxury cruise!
I made sure to bring the most delectable
nibbles for them to enjoy.
Ooh, I brought food too!
Let's see, I've got cotton candy, taffy, circus peanuts,
and lots of other super-yummy stuff!
Oh, Pinkie Pie, that all looks positively delectable!
But you simply must try one of these cucumber sandwiches.
Dig in!
Argh, get those off me ship!
Oh, I'm so sorry, I had no idea you had
such distaste for cucumbers!
Hmm. That doesn't sound like Applejack.
Well, hold on, because it gets even worse!
Pinkie tried to lighten the mood with some fun 'maritime' games.
It's Piñata pop! Wanna give it a whack, Rarity?
Oh darling, of course!
I'll be chartin' a course to the very heart of that maelstrom!
Applejack, just a thought,
but maybe we should steer the ship toward calmer waters.
This be the only way toward Plunder Cove!
Perhaps if I took a quick look-see at that map
I could find us a more cruise-frien-
Yah! There'll be no mutiny aboard me ship!
Look at me! I'm the captain too!
Then Pinkie Pie had caught Applejack's sea madness.
Give it all ye got!
Then what happened?!
Oh, the boat sank. Obviously.
So Applejack got some sort of sea madness
and caused the boat to capsize?
After all the effort I went into to provide her and Pinkie
with the exact luxury cruise
they needed to get out of their elements!
That is how Applejack thanked me!
So you were stuck out in the middle of the ocean?
How in Equestria did you get back?
Spike, darling, you'll have to forgive me.
I am far too emotionally drained to discuss the matter any further!
Rarity, I don't suppose there's any chance you might be...
uh, exaggerating things?
Just a little?
Well! I can assure you that is exactly what happened!
But if you don't believe me, you can ask Pinkie Pie.
I'm quite certain her story will be the same!
So that's what Rarity said happened on the boat, huh?
We thought there was a chance she might have...
embellished the story just a tad.
So we wanted to hear about what happened from you!
Did Applejack really capsize the boat?
Of course not! Pft, that's just silly!
There's no way Applejack could've sank the boat!
I knew it!
That's a relief.
Because Rarity did!
What?!
It all started on the docks.
I knew Rarity and Applejack wanted
to get out of their element,
so I figured I'd throw them the funnest,
silliest boat party ever!
But I guess Rarity had other ideas.
I thought I overpacked,
until I saw Rarity and her team of porter-ponies!
Prepare yourself for a luxury cruise!
A day of opulence, decadence, and extravagance!
That sounds fun.
Ahoy, mateys! Batten down the hatches, y'all,
cause this here's gonna be a boat ride of adventure!
Eh, I can live with that.
Huh, they just keep coming.
Now, you can't throw a silly
boat party without snacks,
so I made sure to pack
the funnest party food I could find!
Rarity, would you care for some cotton candy?
It's freshly spun!
Oh, Pinkie Pie, those all look simply... well, simple.
But they're obviously unfit for a luxury cruise!
Now my cucumber sandwiches, on the other hoof...
try one, then you'll understand.
Ooh, are those chocolate chips?
Sorry! Cucumber sandwiches are so ten seconds ago.
Wait wait wait. That doesn't sound like Rarity.
Just wait until you hear
how more unlike her she sounds!
I thought I'd lighten the mood
with some super-fun party boat games.
But Rarity was a real wet blanket.
It's piñata time! Wanna give it a whack, Rarity?
Oh. You were serious.
Well that's adorable.
I'll give it a go!
That's the spirit! Let's get this boat party started!
Whoooooa! Whoa, doggie!
Tug of war? Now we're talking!
Whoever wins gets to be captain!
Or... one of us should just be captain now?
Oh don't worry, dear.
Luxury cruises never sink!
What?!
And that's why the boat sinking
was all Rarity's fault!
That seems... odd. I mean, we trust you of course,
but it's all so...
extraordinary?
Oh, it's 'extraordinary' all right.
And that's exactly what happened!
In fact, the only thing
I might've gotten wrong was
that there were even more porter ponies!
But just to be safe,
you should talk to Applejack.
She'll know exactly how many porter ponies there were!
Okay, but if the boat sank,
how did you all get rescued?
Oh, that's easy, it was just- My muffins!
That's it. We've gotta go talk to Applejack.
Good idea. She'll straighten this out.
I just really really wanna know how they made it back!
But yeah, that'd be great too.
Hold on a tick. Pinkie Pie
says it's Rarity's fault,
and Rarity says I sank the boat?
Well, that's plum crazy!
If you two really wanna know what happened,
I'll tell you. Y'all know how Pinkie Pie
and Rarity wanted to get out of their 'element'?
Well, I bought a treasure map to give
em a rip-roaring seafarin' adventure!
But they had other ideas.
Lalala! Prepare yourselves
for the most luxurious boat outing that ever outed a boat!
And more fun than you can shake a stick at!
Because I brought a stick!
Alright, ladies, just y'all wait 'til
you see the high seas adventure I've got planned!
Unfortunately, they seemed less interested
in a treasure huntin'
adventure and more interested in snacks.
Oh darling, that food isn't fit for a pony
of proper breeding, darling, and refinement, darling!
Now my cucumber sandwiches, on the other hoof...
Bet you I can get them all in my mouth!
Pinkie, darling, please!
U-uh, Rarity, I-
Well I never! Hum-ph!
Me neither! Hum-ph!
Do you want to say it, or should I?
I'll go. That sure doesn't sound like Rarity or Pinkie Pie!
Oh, it gets a sight worse than that!
It's P.W.T. - Piñata Whacking Time!
Oh darling, whacking is a base
pasttime for common ponies,
doesn't interest me in the least.
Looks like we need to change course!
Ooh! Looks like this will make
a perfect tablecloth for my cheeseboard!
Maybe so, but it's also
the only way to find Plunder Cove!
And Pinkie Pie was just about as useful
as a weasel in a hen house.
Captain Pinkie Pie reporting for map duty!
Hold on, everypony!
Wait, so it was Rarity and Pinkie's fault?
Yup! And maybe if they ever apologized,
I'll consider talkin' to them again.
If they all blame each other,
I don't know how we'll get them to talk again?
Neither do I, Spike. Neither do I.
There's gotta be some way to fix this.
If Applejack, Pinkie Pie
and Rarity keep not talking to each other,
they could forget what good friends they really are!
I just don't get it! All of the stories are so different!
I'm never gonna figure out what really happened.
Their stories were different, but they also had a lot in common.
I guess... They were all on a ship that sank, and...
that's about it.
Not quite.
A-ha! Not only do I think I know how the boat sank,
I have a pretty good idea
how to get Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie back together!
I hope this plan of yours works.
Winona brought me your note about a friendship emergency!
How can I help?
Opalescence delivered your message, Twilight!
What's the emergency?
It's a good thing it was tied to Gummy's back,
or I might not have seen your note about the emergency, Twilight!
What's she doing here?!
Sorry, but I just didn't know
how else to get the three of you here together,
and there really is a friendship emergency!
Yours!
Oh, there's no emergency!
I'm just waitin' for an apology.
An apology?
What?! Why would you want me
to apologize when it was Rarity's fault?!
What are you talking about?
Applejack clearly caused the boat to sink!
She stranded us in the middle of the ocean!
Will somepony please tell me how you made it back?!
Well... Maybe it wasn't the middle of the ocean...
Even so, I don't appreciate bein'
hornswoggled into comin' back here.
On that, at least, we agree.
Yeah!
I know you each have a different perspective
about how the boat capsized,
and blame each other,
but if you come on the boat with me
I'll show you what really happened.
Well, not that I have any doubts,
but it would do good for everypony
to see exactly whose fault it was.
I think we all know which pony's about to be proven right.
We sure do.
Like I said, I sure hope this works!
Whatever you're looking for, I hope you find it soon!
Don't worry, Spike. I've got it all under control.
While all of your stories seem very different,
they all had something in common - cucumber sandwiches.
What in the hay does that have to do with anythin'?
And why would you waste a perfectly good hors d'oeurve?
You also mentioned the bubbling water.
And the swell. Cucumber just happens
to be the favorite food of the tri-horned bunyip,
and bubbles followed by a swell
is what happens when they swim up to the shallows from deep water!
So... we attracted a tri-horned whatchamacallit?
With cucumber sandwiches?
Sounds like a stretch.
Hello, bunyip sir!
So that's a...
A tri-horned bunyip! Who's very sorry
he accidentally knocked over your boat.
Right?
Wait, the storm had nothing to do with the capsizing?
Nope!
Alright, even if our friend the bunyip
is responsible for sinking the boat,
it still doesn't explain a certain pony's behavior!
Me?! How about you and Pinkie Pie?
Pfft- what? Who? Me? No-
I think I can explain that too.
Each of you spent so much time trying
to come up with the perfect way
to get the others out of their element,
that you didn't notice your friends
were doing the same thing!
Wait a minute, you brought all those games and things for us?
Of course! I figured the boat trip was
the perfect time to do things that were silly and fun!
And I was just trying to give the two of you
the elegant cruise I thought you deserved.
And I just wanted to give you two a high seas adventure,
since that'd be somethin' new and different for y'all.
That was so sweet. You must have gone through so much trouble.
Well, not half as much trouble as you did makin'
all that fancy food, and bringin' all those games!
I guess this teaches us that even long time
friends need to work at communication.
Well, there's something I'd like
to communicate to all of you right now!
You girls are the best friends a pony could ever have!
Oh, let's never fight again!
You got it!
Alright, you big softie!
Bring it in!
Come on, bunyip sir! You got it!
One thing's for sure, Spike.
There's nothing like a luxurious adventure
boat party to get you out of your element.
You said it!
