			Button was setting up his snorkel equipment, he put on his flippers on his hind hooves, he put on his mask, and set up his really long snorkel tube, he hooked an air tube to it, so he can hear his mom asking him questions. "Alright, I think I'm all set up.", he said. "Okay, mom, are you ready to see how I can-" He was cut short when he saw his mom floating in a tube around her body, it was a different size and didn't have the same colors as Button's. "Are you kidding me?"

"What?", Button's mom said. "What am I kidding you about?"

"Again with the tube.", Button said. "Do you have to wear that while I snorkel underwater?"

"Of course I do, Button, I can't even snorkel underwater.", Button's mom said.

"Whatever, mom.", Button said. "Can I just jump in now?"

"Yeah, go ahead.", Button's mom said. She backed away... a little. "I'm backing away a little bit, so you don't splash me."

Button bent his front legs up and down two times. Then, he took a leap fell straight into the water.

His mother shielded her face with her hooves, so that water doesn't get on her. Her son sprung out of the water to catch some air. "Did I splash you, mom?", he asked.

"Nah, you're fine.", the mother said.

Button winked and sunk his whole body in the water, except for the snorkel tube and moved around in the water. He went in circles looking at objects underneath the water, such as fish, sea rocks, sand, and seashells. He turned and saw something dangling, it was his mother's hooves, he got closer to them, making his mother concerned.

"What can you see under there?", the mother asked.

"Your hooves!", Button blurted out.

The answer made his mother cross her hooves in embarrassment. She was worried that her son was going to reach out a hoof and give them a slight touch, she doesn't like ponies touching her hooves.

Button thought that would be a little payback after embarrassing him in front of the ponies on the beach when he was wearing the tube. Then, he thought of another idea as a greater payback, before that would happen, he spotted a blue seashell. "Mom loves blue seashells.", he thought. He swam down and grabbed the shell.

His mother began to worry, she thought some dangerous sea creature grabbed him and tried to drown him. "Oh no, Button, please still be alive.", she hoped.

The little brown colt popped out of the water. "I'm okay, mom, I'm still alive.", he said.

His mother sighed with relief as he saw his son was still alive. "Thank goodness, Button, you scared me, I thought you something grabbed you and killed you.", she said.

"I got a surprise for you.", Button said. He reveal the blue shell.

His mother gasped with joy. "Oh my.", she said. "Thank you, Button, I was hoping you would find something like this."

"Do you want to stop swimming?", Button asked. "I want to do something."

His mother nodded. "What do you want to do?", she asked.

"I'm thinking about it.", Button said. "I'll tell you what I want to do when we get back to our spot."
