21. Diving with Clarita Clownfish

At a lake near Canterlot State Park, Pinkie Pie was looking at the water, getting very excited.
“I am so looking forward to this dive.” Pinkie said happily. “There should be some great things to take pictures of.”
Pinkie’s family tagged along with her to lend support.
“We understand that you want to go through with this.” The eldest pie sister, Limestone, interjected. “But, do you think that there are great things to see in the water?”
“I hope so.” Pinkie holds up a waterproof camera. “This will even please Photo Finish.”
Igneous Rock Pie sand Cloudy Quartz arrive to help Pinkie out.
“The air tanks are full, Pinkie.” Igneous Rock informed. “You are good to go.”
Cloudy Quartz presents Pinkie another item. “That water looks like it’s a bit nippy, despite it being summer, dear. This wetsuit might help keep you warm a little.
Minutes later, Pinkie slipped into a teal full length wetsuit with lime green stripes going down the arms.
“Good choice of color, mom.” Pinkie praised as she puts on her swim fins. “I’m going to enjoy this.”
Pinkie straps on her air tank with a full face mask.
“There’s a radio in that mask.” Limestone informed. “That way, we’ll keep in touch with you.”
“Then, as they say in the elevator business,” Pinkie announced as she sat on the dock, “GOING DOWN!”
With camera in hand, Pinkie dives into the water. In the water, Pinkie was amazed with the environment.
“Are you receiving me, Family?” Pinkie said through the built in radio.
“Loud and clear, dear.” Cloudy Quartz replied. “Just be careful.”
“I hope she’ll be okay.” Marble said worryingly.
“Relax, Marble.” Limestone confirmed. “She went diving once with her nature lover pal, Fluttershy. She’ll be okay.”
Pinkie swims through the water. She took pictures of fish that swim through. Pinkie took a picture of the surface of the water. Suddenly, she saw a girl with peach colored skin, and brown and light purple hair. After sneaking in a picture of her and a swimming clownfish, she contacted her family.
“I think we have visitors.” Pinkie said.
“Visitors? Underwater?” Igneous Rock replied with confusion. “Are they mermaids?”
“No way, Pa. I think it’s Clarita Clownfish and her bestie, Cackle. When it comes to underwater environments, they have good knowledge.”
“Thank you.” Said the voice of a charming lady.
It turns out to be Clarita and Cackle who listened to the whole conversation.
“Hello, Pinkie.” Clarita greeted. “Nice to meet you.”
Pinkie’s mouth opened when she saw Clarita. Later, after drying off, Pinkie told everybody about her adventure.
“I got some pretty good pictures down there.” Pinkie chirped. “Clarita made a pretty good guide.”
“I reckon so.” Cloudy Quartz replied.
Limestone and Marble watched Cackle swim happily in the water.
“Cackle is one energetic clownfish, Clarita.” Limestone said.
“He sure is.” Clarita replied. “We both like exploring. We know the coral reefs of Wishing Waters than anybody.”
“I’d like to have a clownfish for a pet.” Marble cooed.
“You and many fans of ‘Finding Nemo’.”
Everybody had a good laugh. Back in her house, Pinkie looked at the pictures she took. Including that of Clarita and Cackle.
“I can’t wait to show my friends these pictures.” Pinkie cheered. She’ll never forget this day.
