Now let us turn out attention to the destination of our heroes quest. Sleeping at the bottom of the ocean, looking like a giant boulder, was the giant whale Monstro. And inside Monstro was the sleeping humpback whale, Humphey. And inside Humphery was a broken ship. And on that ship, there was Geppetto and Figaro near the side of the boat fishing, with Cleo near by in her fish bowl. "Not a bite for days." He said in sadness of not getting a bite, all the while Figaro doesn't get anything either and Cleo pushes up a couple of rocks in her bowl to look like graves. "We can't hold out much longer." Then, Geppetto let out a hearty sneeze, with Figaro sneezing soon after. "I never thought it would end this way, Figaro." Geppetto said as he rubbed his nose. "starving to death, in the belly of a whale. My poor little Pinocchio. He was such a good boy. It's hopeless, Figaro." The both of them reeled in their lines to see noting on the ends of them. "There isn't a fish left. If the monster doesn't wake up soon, I... I'm afraid we are done for."
But they didn't need to worry long, for outside, a large school of tuna were swimming by, but Monstro woke up and saw them coming before smiling and pretending to go back to sleep. When the fish got close enough, the big whale opened his eyes, causing the tuna to swim away. But they did not get far when Monstro started collecting them in his mouth like a man does for peanuts. Humphery however was unaware of the oncoming fish and opened his mouth to yawn, causing some of the fish to enter his mouth.
"Here they come!" Geppetto said when he saw them coming. "Tuna! Tuna fish!" He and all of the sailors then grabbed their fishing poles and started bringing them in. "Food! We'll eat! Here's a big one." He turned to Figaro, who ran to the fish. "Get them in there, Figaro!" Figaro did as he was told and got many tuna inside. Meanwhile, the fishes outside swam in panic past our heroes.
"Wait!" Pinocchio said to the tuna. "Wait a minute! Have you seen..."
"Hey, kid!" One of the tuna said. "Pull your head out of your shorts! Monstro's coming!" He then pointed as Monstro appeared and chased the tunas by smashing through some rocks.
"MONSTRO!!" The group cried out in fear before swimming away, but Pinocchio couldn't move because the rock tied to his tail was stuck.
"Oh, we gotta get out of here!" Jiminy said as he untied Pinocchio's tail from the rock before the two of them swam to catch up to the group. "Come on, Pinoke, don't wait for me!"
"Never saw so many!" Geppetto said in excitment. "Here's another one! Enough for weeks! Here's a big one." Meanwhile, Figaro is trying to keep the fish in the box. "Keep them in there, Figaro!"
"He's gaining on us!" Fluttershy said in panic.
"What do we do?" Antonio asked in fear.
"Head to the surface!" Sunset said as she and the rest of the group swam up, along with all of the tuna fish. Just as the reach the surface, Monstro swallowed them and all of the tuna fish whole. The group then went inside Humphery's mouth as he closes it.
"Must have been something I ate." He said before burping.
"It looks like the last of them." Geppetto said as he kept reeling in tuna. "Here's a big one! Only a few left! We gotta work fast!" He then pulls in a fish with our heroes attached to it, causing them to land in the trough with all of the tuna.
"Ugh, I got a fish in my hair." Rarity said.
"And my fur is a mess." Catnip replied.
"Stop complaining, you guys." Twilight said. "At least we're alive. When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade."
"Here's another one!" Geppetto said before reeling in another tuna fish, causing it to land in Twilight's mouth. Twilight then spit out the fish as Rarity and Catnip smiled.
"Like I said, life gives you lemons" She replied.
"Hey, Father!" Pinocchio said, trying to get Geppetto's attention. "Father!"
"Don't bother me now, Pinocchio!" Geppetto said before realizing who he was talking to. "Pinocchio!"
"Father!" Pinocchio said in joy
"Pinocchio!" Geppetto said in euphoria before grabbing and hugging Grinder. "My son."
"Um, Mr.Geppetto?" Applejack said. "He's still right here."
"Huh?" Geppetto asked. before turning to Grinder.
"Yeah, I'm not your kid, he is." He replied.
"Oh, oh, yes!" Geppetto said before higging Pinocchio. "Pinocchio! My boy. I'm so happy to see you!"
"Me, too, Father." Pinocchio said before Figaro jumped up onto Geppetto's head. "Figaro! Ahh, Figaro!" He then saw Cleo jumping up and down in her bowl. "Cleo! Oh, Cleo! You're here, too."
"Yes, we all are together again." Geppetto said before Pinocchio sneezed. "Oh, you are all soaking wet."
"Yes, Father." Pinocchio said in agreement.
"You mustn't catch cold." Geppetto said before putting his son on a barrel.
"But we came to save you!" Pinocchio replied.
"You shouldn't have come down here." Geppetto said as he grabbed a blanket.
"But, Father..." Pinocchio said in joy.
"But I'm awfully glad to see you." Geppetto said as he covered his son with the blanket. "Let me take your hat." He then removed the hat, revealing Pinocchio's donkey ears, before being suprised. "Oh! Pinocchio!"
"What's a matter?" Pinocchio asked in curiosity.
"Those ears!" Geppetto answered in concern.
"Huh, ears?" Pinocchio asked in confusion before realizing what he was talking about. "Oh, these. Oh, that's nothing. I got a tail, too!" He then started laughing before braying like a donkey, causing Figaro to jump into Cleo's bowl.
"Pinocchio!" Geppetto said in shock. "What's happened to you?"
"Well, I... I... I..." Pinocchio said as he tried to explain
"Oh, nevermind that now." Geppetto said calmly as he hugged Pinocchio. "Old Geppetto has his little wooden head. Nothing else matters." The group then heard Humphery call out to them.
"Hey, keep it down!" He said. "I'm trying to find my way back to my pod."
"Poor fish." Chip said in sympathy. "He's lost."
"My name is Humphery." The whale replied. "I'm a whale, not a fish."
"If we help you, will you free us?" Applejack asked.
"Sure." Humphery answered. "I got to get out of here and back home, or my mom'll ground me."
"Get out, oh, no, no, no." Geppetto said in depression. "I've tried every way. Why, I even built a raft!"
"A raft?" Pinocchio asked before getting an idea. "That's it. We'll take the raft, and when the bigger whale opens his mouth-"
"No, no, no, no, now listen, son." Geppetto said as he began explaining the big flaw in his plan. "He only opens his mouth when he's eating. Then everything comes in. Nothing goes out. It's hopeless, Pinocchio." Hearing that made everyone a little down in the dumps. It was at that moment that Pinkie Pie decided to raise everyone's spirits.
"Come on, you guys!" Pinkie said. "Nothing is ever hopeless. The problem is that everyone's got a Buford in their heads."
"A Buford?" Sunset asked in confusion.
"It's something that gets in your head and tells you it's hopeless to do something." Pinkie explained. "Like getting out of a giant whale, or flying around the earth in a single summer day. When I get one of those in my head, I usually take an Aiken to quell it."
"What's an Aiken?" Jiminy asked.
"That's an Aiken." Pinkie answered, pointing at famous singer Clay Aiken dressed up as Pinocchio singing in front of a big plane with a voice as smoothe as butter, and as soft as a pillow.
"Where did that plane come from?" Twilight asked in confusion.
"I don't know." Pinkie answered. "I can't control who or what appears in spontanius musical numbers." Clay Aiken spun a globe of the earth on his finger, and as he continued to sing, his words seem to have some powerful effect on the group, raising their spirits and boosting their confidence.

"And sometimes, I like to add a bit of Chaka to really help." Pinkie said.
"What's a Chaka?" Jiminy asked in even more confusion.
(Resume video)
"That is." Pinkie said while pointing at vocal power house Chaka Kahn dressed up as Pinkie Pie, belting out lyrics alongside Clay Aiken with a powerful voice.
"Okay, how did these guys get in here?" Applejack asked Pinkie in suspision.
"Beats me." Pinkie said before putting a wink emoji at the end of this sentence.😉 When the song was about to end, a wing from the plane fell off before Chaka Kahn let out one last set of verses at the top of her lungs. Just then, Pinkie Pie's stomach started making noises.
"Whoops, my stomach is talking." She said in embaressment. "I'll tend to our musical accompaniment while you guys start up a nice fire and cook some of the fish." This suggestion gave Pinocchio an idea.
"A fire!" He said in excitement. "That's it!"
"Yes, and then we'll all eat again." Geppetto replied.
"A great big fire!" Pinocchio added. "With lots of smoke!"
"Smoke?" Geppetto in curiousity. "Oh, yeah, sure. A smoked fish will taste good."
"Quick, some wood!" Pinocchio said before he started grabbing wooden items and smashes them into firewood. The rest of the group realized his plan and helped to make a fire pit to put all the firewood in.
"Pinocchio, not the chair!" Geppetto said as Pinocchio grabbed the chair and smashed it with the rest of the firewood.
"Well, that should do it." Sunset said. "Twilight, you know what to do." Twilight nodded before using her magic to put the fire pit on top of Humphery's back.
"Oh, what will we sit on if we---" Geppetto began as Twilight used her magic on a lamp.
"We won't need it!" Twilight said before starting a fire. "We're getting out!"
"Getting out?" Geppetto asked. "But how?!"
"We'll make Monstro sneeze!" Pinocchio answered.
"Make him sneeze?!" Geppetto asked before he realized what he meant. "Ohh, that will make him mad!" Meanwhile, Pinkie Pie as tending to Clay Aiken and Chaka Kahn.
"Thanks for the help, you guys." She said. "You really helped to boost up the moral of the team."
"No problem." Clay Aiken replied. "It was my honor to help."
"Ditto." Chaka Kahn said. "Now can you get us home? I have a massage appointment in five minutes."
"No problem." Pinkie said before pulling a device labled 'Singing Super Star Summoner-O-Matic' out of her hair and turning it on, opening two portals to the homes of the super stars. "See you guys at the after party."
