TMNT/MLP EG Book One: City Mysteries

Treasure Planet Part 3

"Put your backs into it!" Mr. Silver bellowed out as the boys were struggling to peel off barnacles from the bottom of the ship.

"You know when we were told we were going on an adventure, this is not what I had in mind." Raph grunt scrapping at a barnacle. 

"Come on bro," Mikey smiled, "it is an adventure. I mean where literally hanging off the side of a pirate spaceship with noting but rope keeping us from falling."

"Thanks for the reminder Mikey," Donnie thanked with snark as he avoided looking down, "I needed to remember that." 

"I'm hearing chattering, when ya should be working!" That made the boys work harder to make this chore go by faster.

"Ladies I need you to file these for me." Captain Amelia spoke as she set down folders for the girls to grab.

"Yes Captain." Pinkie saluted as they each looked over the files. Well almost all of them Sunset couldn't help but glance back over to the cabinet where the picture was hidden. What if that picture was clue of why they were brought here? Why does the captain even have that photo? 

Then again she couldn't just straight up ask the captain about it without raising a few questions. And she didn't have anyway going back to the cabinet without being suspicious. But then again her options were slim at this point.

"Say um Captain," Sunset began, "the other day when I was grabbing something from the cabinet I saw a photo of two people, it looked like a sailor and someone else. If you don't mind me asking who are they?" 

"That is my great grandfather," Amelia replied back not looking up from her work, "the other fellow was colleague of his. Though I hardly see how this has to do with our current work Ms. Shimmer." 

"Oh i-i was just curious." Sunset stuttered out going back to her paper work. Though it seemed liked the subject was dropped the other girls looked at Sunset Shimmer confused from the sudden question.

Noticing her friends questioning looks, she just mouthed 'later'. Still confused but decided to wait for their answer later.

"Are you sure it was the book you saw Sunset?" Leo asked as he and the others sat at the table, minus Jim. They were all below deck in the galley for dinner. The eight travelers were able to find a scheduled area for themselves so they could discuss about Sunsets findings

"Well i-i think so, " Sunset groaned, " I wasn't able to get a good look at it because the Captain almost caught me snooping through her stuff. If only I could have gotten a better look." 

"If what you saw was real, that might be our biggest clue yet to this key we're suppose to find." Donnie said hopefully.

"And to probably getting home." Twilight said solemnly, " I can't believe its been months now." 

"How do you all figure the rest of our friends and families are doing since we've simply vanished?" Rairty asked and everyone could only think that their loved ones back home are beyond worried at this point. I mean after all eight teens suddenly disappearing isn't something that can be overlooked. But the tension was shut down when Pinkie Pie all of a sudden shot up from her seat to wave her hands erratically.

"Hey look there's Jim," She smiled, "Yoo-hoo Jim come over and sit with us." The brown haired teen looked hesitant but eventually walked over with his drink and sat between Sunset and Raph.

"You enjoying the pirates life Jimbo?" Sunset teased as the others smiled at Jim's annoyed look from the nickname he been given by the ships cook. But there wasn't a hint of malice.
