“well me made it, now what?” Octavia asked as she and Mise trudged out of the water and on to the white sand beach

“well we need to start a fire, you go gather some sticks and palm frawns. I’ll get a couple pieces of flint to light it, just do as I say and we’ll be off this island in no time.” Mise said looking around the rockier part of the beach.

“Mise, please tell me you know what you’re doing.” Octavia asked as she made a fire ring on the beach and put the tinder she had gathered in the middle.

“yes, I do. I was once lost in the middle of the woods for 2 weeks by myself. So believe me when say I will get you off this island. Ah here we go” Mise said as he picked up two large pieces of flint.

Mise then proceeded to take the flint and hit them together which created sparks and in turn lit the tinder that Octavia had gathered

“Now that the fire has began, you stay here and tend to it, Only put dry stuff on. I’m going to go search for and gather supplies such as water, rocks to make tools, sticks, and if I can food to eat.” Mise said as he went into the forest.

Mise walked through the thick forest stepping over logs and jumping over holes, with only his thoughts

‘damn it, why did this have to happen. I knew I something bad would happen, it always does with me.’ Mise thought as he tripped over something that clearly wasn’t a log. Mise got up and looked down to see what he tripped over and what he saw made his blood run cold and send chills up his spine.

The thing he tripped over was a human skeleton clutching an old worn map in its hand

“sorry dude, but I need this a lot more than you do.” Mise said as he knelt down and carefully pried the map out and put it in his pocket.

Mise continued his trek through the forest, finding a river in the processes as well as plenty of flint in the river bed to make tools with

“it’s a start, but it’s far from what I need to get off this island.” Mise said as he grabbed as much flint as he could carry and made his way out of the forest and back to Octavia who had kept the fire going and had managed to get a roaring going.

“Octy, this is perfect, I can use this flint I found along with some vines to make tools which I can use to fish with and cook our food supply,
cut down trees to make containers for water gathering, and build a shelter.” Mise said as he put down the flint he had

“Mise I really hope your right it’s starting to get dark.” Octavia said

“right, well it’s going to take some time to make an axe, so we’re going to have sleep in the woods tonight. I’ll stay up as long as I can and work on my tools.” Mise said as he got to work

Meanwhile in canterlot...

artemis and fang were playing super smash bro’s at artemis’s house

“hey artemis, have you heard from Mise or Octavia, I have this weird feeling like something bad happened.” Fang said putting down his controller

“you know now that you mention it, I have heard anything from either of them not even a text or phone call from Octy….Come on lets go.” Artemis said getting up

“where are we going?” fang asked

“were going to see ironsides, maybe he knows something. Octy always texts me before she goes to bed, it’s very unusual for her not to contact me at all during the day.” Artemis said

“Mise, Octavia, I hope you two are ok…” fang said to himself as he followed artemis out the door

Meanwhile back at the island, Octavia was currently gathering some palm frawns for bedding and bed coverings while Mise was hard at
work making an axe as he had already made a few spear heads and a small knife blade

“Mise, where did you learn to do that and so fast to boot?” Octavia asked dragging some palm branches

“my neighbor back home was an archeologist and he taught me to flint nap, in other words he taught me how to make stone tools. And it’s pretty easy once you get the hang of it.” Mise said as he hammered away at the flint.

“Mise, you really are a man of mystery, I like that. Oh and speaking of things I like, do you mind climbing up there and getting some coconuts?” Octavia asked

“yeah, ok, I guess I could, it’s the only thing to eat and drink until I can get some spears and buckets put together.” Mise said as he put down the flint and hammer stone.

“thank you honey, and please don’t pull a tom hanks.” Octavia said

“you’re welcome, and of course not, I’m going to pull a Pleakley and name the first coconut. Besides do you see a volley ball anywhere?” Mise said as he pulled out the stone knife and cut down some coconuts

“you know, that doesn’t surprise me in the least.” Octavia said

“well I’m going to continue working on my axe, and then I’m going cut down wood and build us a shelter.” Mise said climbing down the coconut tree and scooping up the coconuts

Back in canterlot….

“what do you mean you don’t know where they are, they’re supposed to be on my father’s island. Damn it Mise. Arrow, fang, get ALL of your friends were putting out an armada, each of you will be given a charter boat like the one Mise had, were going to search the entire coast of we have to.” Ironsides said

“alright, were on it” artemis and fang said as they began to call their friends and put out the word
Back on the island…

“alright, well the axe is done, the coconuts are open and on the fire, time to get that tree down.” Mise said as he picked up his homemade stone axe and began to chop down a nearby palm tree

“Mise I’m going to go to sleep, come to bed whenever you’re ready.” Octavia said as she laid her head on the makeshift bed.

“alright, goodnight Octy, I promise I’ll get us off the island if it’s the last thing I do.” Mise said as he continued to swing the axe

Pretty soon the tree began to creak and snap as it fell to the ground with a thud

“well, now the hard part, turning this thing into shelter and buckets. It’s a good thing this is a softer wood.” Mise said as began the pain staking process

“well I should probably put some more wood on the fire” Mise said as he put down the axe and threw some random wood pieces on the fire, making it a bonfire.

“that’s better, now if, by the grace of Faust, a ship or plane come by they’ll see it.” Mise said as he walked back to the fallen palm tree.

Back in canterlot…

“alright, listen up, as you all know my nephew, Mise and his girlfriend Octavia are most likely missing at sea, now each of you have been assigned to a boat, and each boat has been assigned a captain. We are going to go out and we are going FIND Mise and Octavia and bring them home. Now let’s shove off, every second counts!!” ironsides instructed the navy of people before him as they all boarded their assigned boats.

“FULL STEAM AHEAD, HOIST THE SAILS, SWAB THE POOP DECK, PREPARE TO…” Alex shouted as he stood at the helm of his ship

“Alex, what the hell are you talking about, just drive!!” Alejandra interrupted him as she and several other people stood on the deck

“ugh, fine.” Alex said as he sent the boat into full throttle

All the other boats followed suit. people were sing sea shanties, sharing stories about Mise and/or Octavia, praying for their well being, or just sitting quietly

Back on the island…

Mise had finished cutting the tree into smaller more manageable pieces

“well, now to make lumber and you know screw the bucket, I’ll just hollow out a coconut and use that.” Mise said as he went to work cutting up the logs in to smaller pieces to build a shelter.

After about an hour of work Mise decided to call it quits and made his way to Octy’s makeshift bed.

“Octy, it’s me, just letting you know.” Mise said as he cuddled up next Octavia

“mhmm…” Octavia murmured in her sleep.

Back with the armada…

“this papa bear to baby cubs, do any of you see any signs of Mise, Octavia, or the boat.” Ironsides said through the boats’ cb radio.

“no sign of…wait I think I see something floating in the water.” Clyde said as he pulled his boat over to where the debris was.

“oh no…its Mise’s chef coat. I’m not sure if I should be happy or sad.” Warhawk said as he fished the jacket out of the water.

“baby cub Clyde to papa bear, we found Mise’s chef coat floating in the water. What do you want to do?” Clyde said in the radio

“knowing my nephew he’d probably try and take refuge somewhere, do you see any kind of land mass anywhere like an island?” ironsides said

“uhhh, yes, yes I see an island about 500 yards east.” Clyde said

“ok, all units proceed to the island, it’s the most likely place he’d be.” Ironsides instructed

Back on the island…

morning was just getting ready to break soon and combined with the fact that the forest floor was less than comfortable, Mise decided to wake up and get back to work.

“the sooner I get to work the sooner I can get off this Faust forsaken rock.” Mise said

He then grabbed some rope he had made by striping wood and plant fibers and twisting them and used it and the lumber he had cut up to
make a simple frame of a shack which he then started to cover in thatching and palm leaves.

“well at least we some place to sleep and lie down.” Mise said as he admired his handy work.

“ *yawn* Morning Mise, how's everything coming along…WOW” Octavia said as she woke up to see what had done

“goodness, you work fast, and how on earth did you fell and entire palm tree!?” Octavia asked

“even after just waking, you’re still full of questions.” Mise said jokingly

Back with the armada…

The boats had landed on the beach, and everyone were now coming a shore

“so, now that were here, what do we do?” swift asked

“I say we split up and search the island. If we find Mise or Octy, or any other sign of life, we let everyone else know, got it?” soul said

“I’m with soul, let’s split up.” Sunset said as everyone split up into different search parties

Mise and Octavia…

“well Octy, today I’m going to try and start on the raft. Hopefully we’ll be out of here in a week maybe two.” Mise said as he picked up his axe and went to another tree and began to chop that one down too

“Mise, I’m just wanted to apologize for the way I acted when the boat wrecked.” Octavia said

Mise stopped his chopping and put the axe down and turned to Octavia

“Octavia, you were in a very stressful situation, it’s very understandable and I don’t hold it against you.” Mise said holding Octavia’s hand

“oh, Mise, I’m so glad to hear that” Octavia said as she put her hand on Mise face

The two were leaned in for a kiss, but before the two could seal the deal, pinkie popped out of nowhere and screamed right in their ears

“HEY EVERYBODY, I FOUND THEM!!!!!” pinkie screamed at the top of her lungs

“PINKIE?!?!” Mise and Octavia said in unison

Soon enough all their friends started coming out of the woods and around the ends of the beach.

“what..i..how..hunh!!” Mise said as he tried to make sense of it all

“we tracked you down after we suspected something might have happened to you and Octy.” Fang said

After a barrage of questions, uncalled for slaps to the head, and an emotional reunion, everyone piled back into the boats and headed home.

“Mise, next time, let’s just stay on land for new years eve” Octavia said leaning on the boat’s railing

“agreed” Mise said standing next to Octavia
