((*Giggles* Men are a funny species... :p ))

Snowflake gasped in surprise. "Rarity...I-It's beautiful!!!"  

[The Jolly Victini]

"I told you it would be, darling!" Rarity agreed. "Now, let me just pack this up for you and you can be on your way!" she said, levitating a bag over to her and folding the dress delicately, placing it in the bag.

"Thanks, Rarity!" Bonfire said as he walked out of the boutique with Snowflake. "So, who's next? Rainbow Dash or--" Bonfire began, but was cut off by somepony jumping on his back in a pick blur, causing Bonfire to fall to the ground with a thud and an "Ow..." followed by a fit of giggles not owned by Bonfire.

"Tag! You're it, Bonfire!" Pinkie Pie cheered.  

[X_HeartofRoses_X]

Snowflake's eyes widened. "Bonfire! You okay?!"  

[The Jolly Victini]

Bonfire got to his hooves once Pinkie Pie got off of him. "Yeah, I'm fine." He said.

Pinkie Pie looked over to Snowflake and began her word assault. "Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie! Are you new here ? Because I know everypony and I mean everypony! And if I don't know you then that must mean you're new! So if you're new then you don't know me! So hi! I'm Pinkie Pie! Oh, wait. I already said that. Well just in case you forgot, I'm Pinkie Pie! What's you're name?" Pinkie Machine-gunned off impressively without taking a breath.

Snowflake's pupils shrank and she took a step back, her voice softening. "O-Oh...Um...I-I'm Snowflake..."  

[The Jolly Victini]

"Hi, Snowflake!" Pinkie greeted.

Bonfire tapped Pinkie on the shoulder and she turned to him. "Hey, Pinkie? Snowflake's a new friend of mine and she's almost as shy as Fluttershy. Could you... lighten the load? Maybe just... turn the Pinkie dial down a few notches?"

Pinkie looked at Bonfire expectantly before nodding in agreement. "Sure thing, Bonfire!" She turned around to Snowflake and cleared her throat. "Hi! My name's Pinkie Pie! What's your name?" she asked once again, only now a bit more calm and quiet.  

[X_HeartofRoses_X]

Snowflake straightened up a bit, feeling relieved. "Snowflake..." She said a tad louder.  

[The Jolly Victini]

"Are you new here?" Pinkie asked, "Because I know every pony in Ponyville and you don't look too familiar."  

[X_HeartofRoses_X]

Snowflake shook her head. "I've always lived here..."  

[The Jolly Victini]

Pinkie gasped in surprise. "Always?! But how come you never made any friends? Everypony needs friends!"  

[X_HeartofRoses_X]

"At first, I was too shy..." Snowflake said, looking down. "But Bonfire has been showing me how wonderful having friends is."  

[The Jolly Victini]

"Well that's fantastic!" Pinkie exclaimed. "We should throw you a party!"  

[Fenrir Shade]

The ship sets sail, heading to the fabled island. It takes a whole day and night cycle, but they arrive. They are signaled into action by the ship's horn.

"Alright men, I have drawn up a simple map from what I have gathered in my studies. But the brunt of the exploration will be left up to us." says PF, galloping off the boat.

"Awesome! I love exploring! Who needs maps anyway?" says Trey, nearly jumping down the gangplank.

Tempest briskly follows in silence, deep in thought.
