So the heroes continued their quest, all laughing aside from Bowser. Suddenly, Krillin stopped laughing and pointed forward.
"Hey guys! Check out that river!" He said.
"Yeah. It's all splashy." Tristan said happily. "Let's play in the splashy water, Pinkie!"
"That sounds like a super-duper-mega-chocolatey fudge coated good time!" Pinkie exclaimed happily. They attempted to jump in the river, but Twilight held them back with her magic.
"We don't have time for that you two!" She chatised.
"Nyeh, look what's causing it!" Joey exclaimed. "It's an incredibly flamboyant sea monster!" And so it was, a large purple sea monster with orange hair and half a moustache sobbing hysterically.
"What a world! What a world!" It exclaimed.
"Excuse me sir!" Twilight said. "Why are you crying?"
"Well I don't know." The serpent replied. "I was just sitting here, minding my own business, when some strange creature wearing a tacky outfit and simply HIDEOUS mask flew up to me, said some words that simply BAFFLED me, and snapped his fingers, which somehow tore half of my beloved moustache clean off! And now... I look simply HORRID!" And with that he collapsed into the water and started sobbing again, causing a large wave to wash over the group, soaking them to the bone [literally in Achmed's case.]
"Oh give me a break'!" Bowser exclaimed, raising his arms.
"That's what all the fuss is about?" Applejack asked in annoyance.
"Why of course it is!" Rarity exclaimed. "How CAN you be so insensitive?"
"Because this guy is a big purple crybaby." Achmed muttered under his breath that he doesn't have. Rarity approached the serpent.
"Oh, just look at him. Such lovely luminescent scales!" She said.
"I know!" The serpent replied.
"And your expertly cared-for mane!" Rarity continued.
"Oh I know! I know!" The serpent replied, running a hand through his hair.
"Your FABULOUS manicure!" Rarity continued. The serpent gasped. "It's so TRUE!"
All ruined without your beautiful moustache!" Rarity concluded.
"It's true, I'm HIDEOUS!" The serpent concluded. Bowser muttered something about the serpent being a disgrace to reptillian creatures everywhere and got a disapproving look from Fluttershy.
"I simply cannot let such a crime against fabulousity go uncorrected!" And with that, she ripped off one of the serpents scales, causing him to scream in pain.
"What did you do that for?" He asked.
"Hey uh... Rarity, whattya..." Joey cut his sentence short and stared in shock along with everyone else as Rarity swung the razor sharp scale. The serpent collapsed to the ground. The camera zoomed in on Rarity's tail... which she cut off. She tossed the scale away and levitated her disembodied tail onto the serpents face, much to his surprise. He got back up and laughed with joy.
"My moustache! How wonderful!" He exclaimed.
"You look smashing!" Rarity said earnestly.
"Holy crap Rarity!" Achmed exclaimed. "You actually cut off your tail! Doesn't that hurt?"
"Oh. Not at all, my dear." Rarity replied.
"Well you seem to like fashion a lot." Krillin added. "Aren't you worried about this affecting your appearance?"
"No need to worry, darling." Rarity replied. "Um.. Short tails are in this season. And besides... it will grow back."
"So would the moustache." Rainbow Dash muttered in annoyance.
"Aww... Now the water's not splashy anymore..." Tristan said sadly.
"We can cross now!" Twiligt said as she jumped into the river. Suddenly, the serpent emerged from underneath her, creating stepping stones of some kind.
"Allow me." He said, motioning for the group to hop across him. He almost broke his bones when it was Bowser's turn. As the group continued walking, talking amonst themselves, Twilight smiled brightly, though nobody noticed.
