After the sharks were driven away, Pinkie Pie immediately set to work on a party. She’d been looking forward to throwing one for a while, so she was very happy that her time had now come.

“Wow Pinkie, how did you set it up so fast?” Lyra asked.

“Party Cannon, Party Gun, and the Party Straw, silly filly,” Pinkie responded.

“What’s a Party Straw?” Lyra asked.

“This!” Pinkie said, holding up a small tube. “You just blow and the party comes out!”

“That’s...interesting,” Lyra said, wondering how in Equestria Pinkie could fit a party in that little straw. “Pinkie, who is the manufacturer of that straw?”

“Me, why do you ask?” 

“I should have guessed.”

“Remember Lyra, it’s Pinkie Pie. You probably shouldn’t think too hard about it,” Rainbow said.

“I’m going to have to get used to her like you girls are,” Lyra said.

“After a LONG time, you do,” Rainbow replied, smiling.

“Who wants cake?!” Pinkie asked, holding up a tray with the delicious dessert.

“I do!” everypony yelled. They ran over Twilight as they swam toward the cake.

“Are you ok, Twilight?” Numeral asked.

“It happens...all the time...” Twilight mumbled.

“Stay here, I’ll get you a slice,” Numeral offered, swimming off.

“Thanks Numeral,” Twilight said. By the time Numeral got there there was only one piece left.

“Twilight, I’m sorry. There was only one piece left. You can have it,” Numeral said, holding out the treat.

“No, you have it,” Twilight said.

“I insist,” Numeral said.

“Please, just take it,” Twilight said.

“Ugh! JUST SPLIT IT IN HALF!” Rainbow yelled.

“Oh...right,” Twilight and Numeral said.

As they cut the cake they look into each other’s eyes and smiled like fools.

“Awwww,” Pinkie said looking at them from a distance. “They love each other. Twilight, why don’t you just tell Numeral your feelings? Numeral, why don’t you just tell Twilight your feelings?”

“Pinkie, you obviously don’t know love. One does not simply tell somepony they like them,” Lyra said.

“Yeah, Pinkie. Seriously,” Rainbow said.

“But it would save so much time!” Pinkie protested.

“Just walk away and let them have their time,” Rainbow suggested as she pushed Pinkie away.

“But...but!” Pinkie said, looking back at the two. When she turned around, she was face to face with a seapony. This seapony was white with a red mane and a scroll as her cutie mark.

“Oh, I haven’t met you before! I’m Pinkie Pie! What’s your name?” Pinkie asked.

“I’m the Mayor of Atlantores. Coral Reef is my name. You’re not from around here, are you?” Coral Reef asked, pointing out Pinkie’s legs.

“Yeah, I’m actually from up there!” Pinkie said, gesturing to the surface above them.

“You’re from the top of the water?” Coral asked.

“No, silly! I’m from the land,” Pinkie replied.

“That would explain the legs, then,” Coral said. “I want you right next to me at the town meeting later.”

“REALLY?” Pinkie got excited.

“Can you give a speech, since you and your friends saved us all?” Coral asked.  

“It would be my pleasure, Coral!” Pinkie replied.
“Great, see you later then,” Coral said. She thought having a land pony speak for them would be a bit more exciting than everypony hearing her give a monologue.

Pinkie swam up to Lyra. “Guess what? I get to say a speech at the town meeting later!”

“Oh goodness. This is going to be interesting,” Lyra said.

“You bet it is!” Pinkie responded, beaming from ear to ear.

“But I’m kind of worried about you at the same time,” Lyra thought since none of the seaponies knew her and her interesting personality.

“Don’t worry, I have it all taken care of,” Pinkie claimed.

The time Lyra dreaded soon came, Pinkie’s speech. Everypony was gathered at Town Hall, looking up at their Mayor at the stand. Pinkie was next to her, smiling excitedly.

“As you all may know, we were attacked by vicious sharks who wanted to make us all their dinner. However, a few ponies have saved us from that awful fate. We would now like to introduce Pinkie Pie to give a speech,” Coral gladly said.

“I wish I was chosen to give a speech,” Twilight said thinking that she would be much better then Pinkie Pie. 

Pinkie went toward the front of the stage. “Since speeches are boring, I decided to sing a song.”

“Oh boy,” Rainbow mumbled.

“Oh no,” Twilight muttered. 

“I’ve never heard Pinkie sing before,” Numeral claimed. 

“Well, get ready because it’s coming,” Lyra said.

Pinkie took in a deep breath. 

“It all started with a book,
One my friend read in her nook,
Inside a place beyond belief--
Underwater and with reefs!

She came to me and Rainbow Dash,
We hurried there in a flash!
We quickly made some new friends,
Some bonds of which shall not end!

But there are harder things out there,
Than being out of our air.
You see sharks came and attacked, 
But we helped you take it back.

Here the seaponies are to be,
Free under the deep blue sea!
So, that is all for now,
Manatees are sea cows!"



Everypony clapped.

"That wasn't so bad, but the ending was random. Then again, this is Pinkie Pie." Rainbow said.

“I thought it was rather good,” Numeral said quietly.

“The only bad song was the sharing and caring song. Now that was a bad song,” Twilight remembered.

“The sharing and caring song?” Lyra and Numeral asked.

“Don’t,” Rainbow said, quickly glancing at Pinkie. To her horror, the party mare had heard.

“I heard somepony who wanted to hear the sharing and caring song,” Pinkie stared at them.

“NO!” Rainbow and Twilight shouted. Both mares covered their ears.

Pinkie sang the song to Lyra and Numeral.

“That was...” Numeral started.

“Horrible,” Lyra finished.

“How is it bad? It’s about sharing and caring!” Pinkie said.

“Just don’t sing it again,” Rainbow moaned.

“I will sing it whenever I want to,” Pinkie claimed.


Meanwhile, in Ponyville...

“What’s Lyra doing with Rainbow and Pinkie?” Spike asked. “And where are Twilight and Numeral?”

“Maybe she is turning them into seaponies,” Fluttershy worried. 

“Ah don’t think Lyra would do somethin’ like that,” Applejack said.

“Perhaps we should go after them,” Rarity suggested. 

“Maybe that’s not such a good idea. I mean, we don’t know where they are and...” Fluttershy said.

“Sounds good ta me!” Applejack interrupted.

“Since I’m a unicorn I suppose I will attempt to read the book and learn how to do the magic after five years of not reading any,” Rarity said.

“Oh dear. Are you sure about this, Rarity? We...we could get hurt,” Fluttershy said softly.

“Relax, my dear,” Rarity said as she looked inside the spell book.

“Don’t worry, Fluttershy. Rarity will do great!” Spike encouraged. Rarity did the breathe underwater spell on everypony and Spike.

“Now where is that portal spell Twilight used? Rarity asked herself.

“Right here!” Spike said, holding out a book. He knew every book in the library. It was because he has to fetch them for Twilight. 

“Hopefully I can get this right the first time.” Rarity’s horn lights up.  A portal appeared on the floor.

“Well Ah’m goin’ in first.” Applejack jumps in.   

“Me next!” Spike called as he followed the country pony.

“Come on, Fluttershy, dear. There’s nothing to be afraid of,” Rarity said, pulling Fluttershy in with her. Fluttershy just squealed in surprise.

The portal closed once Fluttershy was pulled in. They floated down to the bottom of the sea. 

“I wonder where they are?” Rarity asked.

“Well, we tried. Can we please get out of here?” Fluttershy said, getting the creeps.

“I thought you would be good at communicating with the fish down here,” Rarity said.

“Yeah, c’mon sugarcube. We need ya,” Applejack added.

Fluttershy sighed. “Okay.”

“I see lights in the distance. Maybe that’s where Twilight, Pinkie, and Rainbow are,” Spike said as he looked.

“Oh, what was that place called again? Atlantores! That must be Atlantores!” Applejack said excitedly.

“Goodness, we have to swim all the way over there?” Fluttershy asked.

“Come along,” Rarity said, already swimming towards the lights.

“But what if we get lost?” Fluttershy asked.

“Just swim toward the light.” Spike pushed her.

“Oh dear,” Fluttershy said, following her friends.


Meanwhile back in Alantores....

“This has been a pretty good day, don’t you all think so?” Numeral asked.

“Yeperoni!” Pinkie said. “Especially since I got a party AND a song!”

“I think that’s enough partying today. I’m pooped,” Rainbow said as she yawned. 

“Oh, where are we going to sleep? I mean, are we going back to Ponyville, or...?” Twilight asked.

“You all can stay at my place for the night. Just like that first day,” Numeral suggested.

“Thanks, Numeral. I hope our friends don’t mind staying the night,” Twilight replied. 

“Not at all,” Rainbow yawned. “Just give me someplace to sleep...”

“You slept on the couch last time,” Numeral said.

“Well, I’m going back to Waterhorse. Plus I need to see Bon Bon tonight and I’m going to be late,” Lyra performed the portal spell and headed off.   

“Bye bye!” Pinkie called as Lyra disappeared.

“Well, that was rather abrupt,” Twilight said.

“Yeah, well come on everypony. My home is this way,” Numeral said, swimming off.

Just when they were about to arrive and Numeral’s house, their friends were about to cross paths with them.  

“Hey, are those our friends?” Applejack asked.

“They look like it, I mean they have legs,” Spike said.

“HEY TWI,” Applejack yelled. 

Twilight looked, “Applejack? Rarity? Fluttershy? Spike? How did you get here?!” Twilight asked.

“Rarity used her magic to come here,” Spike answered. 

“Wowie! Good job Rarity!” Pinkie exclaimed.

“Why, thank you,” Rarity said.

“This is the first time I’ve ever heard of Rarity doing spells other than moving stuff and putting stuff on,” Rainbow said.

“I can do other spells, I just don’t need to,” Rarity said, shrugging off the comment.

“Well, now that we know the how, why?” Twilight asked.

“We wanted to see what this city was like and to see you,” Spike said.

“N-now s-since w-we s-saw t-them c-can w-we p-please g-go h-home n-now?” Fluttershy shivered in fear.

“Wow, Fluttershy. You’re more jittery than a worm in an apple,” Applejack said.

“Calm down, Fluttershy. I thought you would like it down here because of all of the sea creatures,” Twilight said.

“But, it’s so...d-different,” Fluttershy said.

“Do I look scary?” Numeral asked, gesturing to his fins and tail.

“N-no. But you’re a p-pony,” Fluttershy said.

“Maybe I should take you on a tour of the ocean deep tommorrow,” Rainbow said.

“When it’s d-dayt-time? That would be g-great,” Fluttershy shivered. 

“Deal,” Rainbow said, nudging her shy friend, causing her to smile a little.

“So, what now?” Numeral asked. “How am I going to fit six ponies and a baby sea serpent... I mean a dragon into my home?” 

“Oh, I don’t want to be any bother. We can just find some hotel somewhere to stay for the night,” Rarity said.

“Eeyup. Ya know a place, Numeral?” Applejack asked.

“Yes, just follow that current and to your left is a hotel,” Numeral directed.

“That’s convenient,” Rarity said.

“Come on, I’m tired,” Spike said. 

“We’ll see you tomorrow. Spike, stay here with me,” Twilight instructed.

“Good night,” Rarity said.  

“Night ya’ll,” Applejack said.

“Sleep well,” Fluttershy added.

“Nightie nightie! Don’t let the bed bugs bitie!” Pinkie called.

“Um, Pinkie Pie, I don’t think that there is such thing as bed bugs underwater.” Rainbow said. 

“Actually, there are bed bugs here, just not the same as yours,” Numeral put in.

“Well I guess I will turn into a vampony tonight,” Pinkie said.

“Can we get inside? I’m exhausted,” Spike yawned.

“Of course, come in girls. And Spike,” Numeral said, letting in everypony.

Luna’s night tumbled on them as the eight friends slept.
