Chancellor Puddinghead looked into the Mirror pool, her chancellor hat set aside. This was a great idea! With a seapony copy of herself, she could teach all the other earth ponies how to swim. She'd keep the hat, though, so everypony would know she was the chancellor. Though if they got confused, they could remember that the chancellor was still an earth pony, and not a seapony. But she was still going to help everyone learn to swim, too! This was going to be so much fun!

Chancellor Puddinghead jumped down into the pool, with a big splash, and all of a sudden her legs felt tingly, like she was just coming out of local anesthesia. Ooh, she had a fin and two front legs, now! She hadn't known she'd turn into a seapony by jumping in, but since she'd came all this way to find a seapony to help, she might as well use the mirror pool, too. She extended a hoof down into the waters, and pulled up a seapony. The seapony cheered her on with a cry of "fun, fun!"; this was going swimmingly. "We're going to have lots of fun indeed", Chancellor Puddinghead grinned.

Chancellor Puddinghead flopped onto the edge of the shore. She rose on her front two legs and let her weight rest on her fin as she would have risen on four, and tried to move forward, but she couldn't pull herself forwards, with all the weight on her tail.

The pink seapony flippered around a bit, and gave Chancellor Puddinghead a push from the pond, getting her a couple feet closer towards the door. The chancellor rolled a few times, ending up face-down. "Fun?" The chancellor stuck her forelegs out above her head and straightened her tail, and rolled a few times on her own. "That sure works--so, fun indeed!"

"Fun, fun!", replied the seapony, who then extended a flipper back into the pool, and out came another pink seapony. The second summoned seapony gave the first a shove as she climbed out of the pool, and she in turn helped the first one climb out. That was pretty clever of her, now they’d be able to teach everypony how to swim in even less time!

Then four pink seaponies jumped out of the pool. Chancellor Puddinghead twisted her head around 270 degrees in thought.

“Well, girls, the more of us, the less work for each individual one of us!”

One of the increasing number of seaponies rolled over to pinkie, and bumped into her. The pink chancellor began rolling too, but the collision hardly slowed down the seapony. Chancellor Puddinghead giggled. That was funny! "I didn't know seaponies were bouncy! That is fun!"

"Fun, fun, fun!", seven more sea ponies rolled across the room to agree with her, while eight others stood on the edges of the pond, pulling out another eight seaponies. Chancellor Puddinghead giggled again. This was going to be great! Soon a stream of seaponies was continuously rolling out of the pond, and the chancellor led them up out of the cave of the mirror pool.





Smart Cookie looked out on the plains. There hadn’t been much rain, actually, but there was a sea covering the land nonetheless. A very pink sea.

The still one-pony-deep sea of Pinkies writhed and giggled, and cries of “fun, fun!” could be heard from a mile away from the border of the pink menace.

The blob of pink seapony mares stretched all the way from the cave of the mirror pool to the Eastern Equestrian Sea, where they giggled, rolling into the sea, one by one.
