The Ghost Pirate Music Festival

When the local music festival called The Adventure Bay Music Festival is going on, it closes due to a ghost pirate haunting it and the Mystery Patrol are on the case with the Canterlot High Gang

## Script

(We open on nighttime where Luke Stars is seen playing on his guitar)

Luke Stars:(Into microphone)Testing. (Sings)You're my perfect friend!

(Wind blows and it blows his hat off)

Luke Stars:Hey!

(We cut to a pirate ship flying across the sky and is in the way of the moon and maniacal laughter is heard and a green skinned pirate with a gray beard and purple pirate attire and a hooked hand on his right hand appears in the middle of the stage and to Luke, he says)

Pirate Ghost:I am the Ghost of Baybeard Adventure! I am the real founder of Adventure Bay! It is in my name! Grover Goodway only founded the town! I founded the land! Heed this warning! This music festival will not go on!

(Disappears in a cloud of smoke and Luke is stun by this and we blackout and fade to the orange and green van where the Canterlot Gang are on their way to the music festival and they wear their music festival clothes)

Sunset:I can't wait to get to the big Adventure Bay Music Festival. Jake says it's one of the best music festivals ever.

(Cuts to Pinkie, Snips and Snails)

Pinkie Pie:And I can't wait to hit the snack bars.

Snails:Yeah, snack bars. Nachos, tacos, cupcakes, pizza, ice cream, falafel, burritos, burgers....

Snips:Submarine sandwiches!

(Cuts to Spike)

Spike:And don't forget about the lasagna pop.

(Cuts to Winona)

Winona:Yeah, lasagna pop.

(Cuts to Trixie)

Trixie:The great and powerful Trixie thinks this will be a good experience.

(Cuts to Sunset)

Sunset:And let's hope for my sake that there won't be a Groundhog Day loop.

(Cuts to her and Twilight)

Sci-Twi:You're still thinking about when Post Crush made you live the same day over and over again aren't you?

Sunset:Yeah, and this time I hope there isn't a time twirler.

(Cuts to Micro Chips)

Micro Chips:I hope I can get to be my DJ ego MC Dexefex.

(Cuts to Fluttershy)

Fluttershy:I hope I can be a Skull Crusher like at the Star Swirl Music Festival.

(Cuts to Sandalwood checking the map)

Sandalwood:According to the map Flash, we're almost there.

Flash:(OS)We're been to Adventure Bay lots of times Sandalwood. (Cuts to him, Sunset and Twilight) I think I already know where I'm going.

Sci-Twi:(Spots something)Hey look we're already here.

(Cuts to the sign)

Fluttershy:(OS)I hope I can help Katie with the animals. (Cuts to her)I love animals like Spike and Winona.

(Cuts to the aforementioned dogs)

Winona:Uh, we're right here Fluttershy.

(Cuts back to Fluttershy)

Fluttershy:Yeah I know, I was just saying.

(We fade to the van arriving into town)

Flash:Welcome to Adventure Bay.

(The van stops and we cut to Bulk and Rarity)

Bulk:Huh? Why are we stopping?

Rarity:Flash what's wrong?

(Cuts to him Twilight and Sunset)

Flash:Everyone's leaving the place. (Spots Mayor Goodway)Oh there's the mayor. She'll know what's going on.

(Mayor Goodway come up to them)

Mayor Goodway:Ah the Rainbooms and their friends.

Sunset:Hi Mayor Goodway, why's everyone leaving?

Mayor Goodway:Haven't you heard Sunset? It's all over the news. The Ghost of Baybeard Adventure, Adventure Bay's land founder has threaten to ruin our festival.

(Cuts to Micro Chips)

Micro Chips:I thought your great-great-grandfather founded Adventure Bay?

(Back to her talking at the driverside)

Mayor Goodway:He only founded the town Micro Chips. Baybeard Adventure's the one who only founded the land and this is just when I wanted to host a big music festival, inviting people and pups from all over. The Princess and Earl of Barkingburg. And the Princess' pup Sweetie, Capt'n Turbot's family and besides Francois. Carlos, Tracker, Traveling Travis. And I hate to say it but even Mayor Humdinger and his kitties.

Flash:But what if Mayor Humdinger's the one behind it?

Mayor Goodway:I don't know for certain Flash but only time and the PAW Patrol will reveal that.

(Wallflower comes up to the window)

Wallflower:Maybe we can help you Mayor Goodway.

Mayor Goodway:Yes I know Wallflower you kids want to help but the PAW Patrol are already on the case. And if you're wanting to stay you can pull into the parking lot and investigate.

Flash:Thank you.

(They drive to City Hall and we fade to the van parked by it and the gang are out)

Flash:Ok gang, let's split up and look for clues.

(Cuts to Snails and Spike)

Snails:Like I knew this would happen.

Spike:Me too.

(Cuts to Juniper looking at the newspaper)

Juniper:Listen to this guys. (Reads article)Ghostly pirate terrorizing Adventure Bay! (Shows them the article and the words "Ghostly Pirate" are capitalized on top and underneath the two words it says in three straight words that are also capitalized and says "Terrorizing Adventure Bay" and the picture has Ryder running with Katie and Ranger behind him and Danny behind them and Ace Sorensen is the last, Rubble is beside them running and the ghost is chasing them while floating in the air with his arms up and floats only a foot off the ground) Mystery Patrol is on the case again.

(Cuts to Apple Bloom)

Apple Bloom:Well maybe we can find them and help them.

(Cuts to Applejack)

Applejack:Heh, that's m'ah girl.

(We fade to Snips, Snails, Spike and Winona and we cut to a close up of Snips and Snails)

Snails:Flash said to look everywhere in town. Wouldn't you know we'd be the ones to check where the ghost was last seen.

Snips:Yeah, I hate it.

(Cuts to Spike and Winona)

Spike and Winona:Us too.

(Cuts to them walking to the center of the stage)

Snips:Hey look at that X.

Snails:Maybe it's treasure and X marks the spot.

Spike:I don't know guys.

Winona:Yeah it seems strange that an X is in the middle of the stage.

Snips:What's wrong with an X being in the middle of the stage?

Winona:What if it was put there by the Ghost of Baybeard Adventure?

Spike:Or another ghost.

Snails:Maybe we can think of it as a clue.

(They get on the X and a net comes down catching them)

Snips, Snails, Spike and Winona:Heeeeeelllllllppppppp! We've been caught in a net!

Winona:Applejack! Help!

Spike:Twilight! Help!

Snips and Snails:Gang! Help!

(The Mystery Patrol come out of hiding)

Ryder:We caught Snips, Snails, Spike and Winona! I thought we had the ghost!

Ranger:S'okay bro. We all make mistakes.

(The rest of the Canterlot Gang come)

Pinkie Pie:Hey everybody. It's the Mystery PAW Patrol.

Wallflower:Hey how you guys doing?

Danny:Pretty great Wallflower.

Snips:Uh you guys mind getting us down?

Ryder:Sure thing Snips.

(Unties the rope and they yell as they fall down)

Spike:Hey!

Snails:Like why couldn't you have been a poodle or chihuahua?

Spike:I'm fine the way I am.

Katie:So what brings you guys here?

Juniper:The music festival.

Ace:Well it's not happening. Mayor Goodway canceled it due to the ghost pirate attack.

Sci-Twi:She told us.

Sandalwood:And like we offered to help.

Flash:Yeah and we have a suspect already.

Ranger:Oh? Who is it?

Micro Chips:Mayor Humdinger. He's our only suspect. He always tries to cheat at thing involving Adventure Bay and Foggy Bottom and commits countless crimes.

Applejack:He's right ya know.

Rainbow Dash:Yeah and you guys never trust him at anything.

(Cuts to the Mystery Patrol)

Danny:That's what we thought at first.

Rubble:Yeah, but he said he was at his lair.

(Cuts to the Canterlot Gang)

Sunset:Hmmm, he was probably thinking about finding a way to ruin it.

Trixie:I think we should look for clues.

(Back to scene)

Ryder:Maybe we should do this together.

Flash:Yeah like most of the times with you guys.

Ryder:Come on up to the lookout and we'll show you what little evidence we got.

(We fade to the lookout)

Ryder:(OS)And that's about it. The Ghost of Baybeard Adventure showed up a couple of weeks ago and the festival's been canceled.

Rarity:(OS)Oh my dear a mystery.

(Cuts to inside in the lobby)

Spike:A....Mystery?

(He gulps)

Snails:What's the matter Spike? Nervous?

Spike:Uh-huh.

Snails:Well you know the old saying. You can just whistle your fears away.

(Cuts to Pinkie and Rainbow)

Pinkie Pie:That sounds like a good idea.

Rainbow Dash:Yeah, but what do we do to whistle our fears away?

Pinkie Pie:Make cookies?

Rainbow Dash:I'd rather play guitar.

(Cuts to Flash)

Flash:Me too Dash.
