“During a game of pirates in their bedroom Amy came up to check up on them, unknown to her though that they were waiting in the shadows to pounce upon their victim. As Amy entered the room the twins made their move, being quick to secure their hostage and declaring her a prisoner of the “Adventurer”. Amy didn’t struggle and decided to play along after she realised it was just the twins, begging them mercy for a poor mare like her and to spare her from harm, thus with the foals help shifted her over to the bed which the called the “Brig”.”
 
“The foals celebrated their victory over their mother and decided to have a sword fight, and so as they sword fight each other Amy calmly struggled and played along, although she was quite concerned about them hurting one another, she thought to herself that once they started to feel hungry they would let her go… right?”
