//------------------------------// // Chapter 17: The River/The Element of Generosity // Story: Miraculous Ponies: Origins // by MLPandMiraculousFanatic //------------------------------// Soon the heroes arrived at an moving River but they were talking amongst each other so they were stopped by Pinkie Pie. "How are we gonna cross this?" Pinkie asked when they were closeby the moving river. "Well I could always use my yo-yo to the other side" Ladybug said. "Or I could use my stick" Cat Noir said. "No if we need the Elements' help we need to look for an easier way besides if someone accidentally let's go of the yo-yo or stick who know what might happen" Twilight said. "She has a point darlings so let's take a look on the right side first and then on the left" Rarity said. Then the heroes went to the right side but when they were the wailing got louder until they saw an dark purple serpent with a lighter purple belly and orange mane and mustache. "What a world, what a world." The sea serpent cried out. "Excuse me, sir. Why are you crying?" Twilight asked stepping forward.  Well, I don't know. I was just sitting here, minding my own business, when this tacky little cloud of purple smoke just whisked past me and tore half of my beloved mustache clean off, and now I look simply horrid." The Serpent explained while crying before finishing the explanation by falling into the water while sobbing which made water splash on our heroes making Rainbow and Applejack dumbfounded. "Oh, give me a break." Rainbow said dumbfounded. "That's what all the fuss is about?" Applejack asked dumbfounded. "Why, of course it is. How can you be so insensitive? Oh, just look at him. Such lovely luminescent scales." Rarity said while petting The Serpent's chin. "I know." The Serpent said while sniffing. "And your expertly coiffed mane." Rarity said while the screen panned to the Serpent's mane. "Oh, I know, I know." The Serpent said pulling back his hair. "Your fabulous manicure." Rarity said proud of herself making the Serpent gasp. "It's so true!" The Serpent said after gasping. "All ruined without your beautiful mustache." Rarity said sadly. "It's true, I'm hideous" The Serpent said crying. "I simply cannot let such a crime against fabulosity go uncorrected." Rarity said before pulling out an scale hurting the Serpent making him yelp. "What did you do that for?" The Serpent said trying not to wheeze. "Rarity, what are you-" Twilight started before and slash or stab sound was heard. "Oh dear, I hope she's not mad at us for not telling her" Rarity said still shocked. Then we saw the Serpent moaning while falling while hitting his head on the ground as then Rarity threw the scale away which would've murdered Cat Noir if he didn't dodge but then it hit a tree as Rarity then used her magic to levitate her tail before putting it into the broken mustache's place which according to specialists was impossible or that's what I think. "You're doing it again!" Pinkie said angrily. "I'm trying so stop interrupting me since I was trying to tell the truth so if you want to host do it yourself" Silver Swirl said angrily. "Never! So get back to the story" Pinkie said angrily. "Good" Silver said pressing play on the episode. "Oh-ho ho ho! My mustache. How wonderful." The Serpent said laughing. "You look smashing." Rarity said proud of the Serpent. "Oh, Rarity, your beautiful tail..." Twilight said walking towards Rarity. "Oh. It's fine, my dear. Short tails are in this season. Besides, it'll grow back." Rarity said proud of herself. "So would the mustache." Rainbow whispered to Twilight. Then Twilight made an glare before seeing the lake back to normal making her gasp. "We can cross now. Let's go." Twilight said before being pulled up into the air making her scream for a bit before the tail of the Serpent was fully bumps as then the Serpent started talking. "Allow me." The Serpent said before going back into the water. Then the 8 heroes started jumping or flying over the Serpent before arriving at the end of the tail as they continued walking.
