Meanwhile at the sea kingdom palace, Pearl's sisters are getting ready for the annual Sea Kingdom Ball. How they hate the fact that Pearl is going to miss it all because she chose to be with a hippogriff of all creatures. Alas, there's really nothing they can do about it. 

"Pearl would have loved this!" sighs her sister Amber Glow. 

"Agreed," sighs her sister Azul Bluestone. The rest of her sisters nod in agreement. 

Meanwhile at the hippogriff palace, Pearl Crystal sighs as she looks out towards the sea. "The Sea Kingdom Ball is tonight and I'm missing it, alas, I made that choice when I decided to become a pony to be with the one I love." She then walks back inside and goes and shuts herself in her room and cries. Rubius has no idea that she is this sad as he's too busy with business to even pay attention to her in the one time she needs him most.

A few hours later in the sea kingdom, all the merponies come to gather for the magnificent ball. As they enter, they are greeted by the twelve princesses and only a select handful ask where Pearl Crystal is, to which they are given no response. They then just shrug it off and go and enjoy the festivities. A few moments later, the princesses join in on the festivities. Once they're immersed, they soon forget that Pearl is probably missing the fun herself in the pony world and fully enjoy it for themselves without a care in the world.
