Fluttershy and Rainbow are traveling through the coral reef outside of town.
“Fluttershy, can you communicate with fish?” Rainbow asked.
“I’ll try to.” She swam toward a clownfish. “Hello, little friend.” The clownfish looked up at her and then nipped her playfully.
Fluttershy smiled. “I think he likes me.”
“Or maybe since it’s a clownfish maybe it just wants to be silly,” Rainbow said, thinking the fish was funny.
“Oh Rainbow, I don’t think he’s trying to be silly. I mean, just because he’s a clownfish doesn’t mean he likes to clown around,” Fluttershy said, not getting the joke.
“Let’s move on, Fluttershy, there could be turtles down here.” Rainbow started swimming away. The two swam on until they saw some creatures in the distance. Fluttershy recognized them almost immediately.
“Oh, look Rainbow Dash! Green sea turtles!”
“I guess I was right after all,” Rainbow said. I hope they can do awesome tricks.
Fluttershy started coming in contact with the turtles. “Hello little turtle,” she said softly.
“Little?” Rainbow said, looking at the large animal. It was only the size of a book.
“This one is just a kid, Rainbow,” Fluttershy explained, petting the turtle’s shell.
“You know more than me.” Rainbow crossed her hooves. The green sea turtle swam around Fluttershy like a whirlpool and she laughed.
“What can I say? It’s my special talent,” Fluttershy said, smiling at the animals around her. She turned to Rainbow Dash. “Thank you for taking me out to see the animals. This is nice.”
“Your welcome, Fluttershy,” Rainbow replied.She felt happy inside.
They swam through the coral reef when all of a sudden a swarm of barracuda surround them.
“Um, Fluttershy? Can these guys eat us?” Rainbow asked.
“Y-yes...” Fluttershy squeaked, inching closer to Rainbow as the barracuda came nearer.
“I can beat them in 10 seconds flat,” Rainbow said, setting aside her fear and getting ready to push her body to its limits.
“Wait! They have really sharp teeth and can swim really fast. Plus, there’s so many of them, I don’t want you to risk it,” Fluttershy said, worrying for her life and the life of her friend.
Rainbow Dash didn’t listen and went straight toward them.
“Oh I can’t watch,” Fluttershy said, covering her eyes and cowering. A cloud of sand covered the whole area because of the intense fight going on between Rainbow and the deadly fish. Rainbow threw kicks and punches to every fish that was foolish enough to get close to her, but soon enough she was getting tired.
“What do you think you’re trying to do, mister? Eat my friend? Why, I should call your mother for such a thing. You should be ashamed of yourself you big bully,” Fluttershy said strictly.
The whole school became scared of the silent pegasus and swam off.
“Wow, Fluttershy, that was awesome!” Rainbow said.
“Oh, it was nothing really...” Fluttershy mumbled modestly.
“You need to do that more often,” Rainbow suggested.
“I can’t really control it, it just happens,” Fluttershy explained. “Besides, you were handling yourself pretty well for the moment.”
“Let’s head back to Atlantores, Twilight might need our help,” Rainbow said.
“That seems like a safe idea,” Fluttershy said, looking back at the direction in which the barracuda fled. Fluttershy was feeling better about the ocean blue. She was no longer scared.
Meanwhile back in Alantores...
Pinkie Pie was trying to help with the banner saying “Welcome Princess of the Night”.
Her tail started to twitch. “My tail is twitching! My tail is twitching!” she yelled.
“What does that mean?” one of the seaponies asked.
“It means that her tail is twitching,” said another one. Then a giant rock fell on both seaponies.
“Sorry!” the seapony that dropped the rock yelled.
“Well, at least I wasn’t the one to get hurt this time,” Twilight said. As soon as she said that, the two seaponies pushed the rock off of themselves and it ran into Twilight. “Of course...”
“TWILIGHT, NO TIME TO LAY AROUND. WE HAVE A PRINCESS COMING!” Pinkie yelled.
“Yeah, yeah. I’m getting up,” Twilight said, dusting herself off.
Rainbow and Fluttershy came back into town.
“Hey how was the trip?” Twilight asked.
“It was cool,” Rainbow replied.
“The animals were amazing,” Fluttershy said. “Well...except the barracuda.”
“Wow, I can see the bite marks. Are you sure you’ll be okay?” Twilight asked.
“I hope so,” Rainbow said.
“Rainbow’s pretty tough, I think she’ll be fine,” Fluttershy affirmed.
“Can you help me with this, Twilight?” Numeral asked.
“I’ll be there in a second,” Twilight replied. She looked at Rainbow and Fluttershy. “Well, if you two want to help out, the mayor will certainly have something for you to do. She’s over there,” Twilight directed. She turned to Numeral. “I’m coming!”
“This has to be perfect,” Rarity said as she tried to pin Luna’s new dress that she’d made out of seaweed. Rarity guess her size to make the dress.
“What can we do? It seems like everypony’s taken everything,” Fluttershy said, looking around.
“You can set up a nature show,” said the mayor. “Your friend Twilight told me that you are good with animals.”
“Okay!” Fluttershy became excited and swam off.
“Then what can I do?” Rainbow asked.
“You can watch out for her arrival,” said Coral.
“That should be easy,” Rainbow claimed. She swam up, grabbed binoculars, and went toward the direction of Waterhorse.
“I guess everypony is covered,” Twilight said. “We should be ready in no time.”
“Twilight, my tail is twitching again!” Pinkie yelled.
“Then why did you come next to me?” Twilight asked.
“Hey Twilight, you're standing under the Princess’s boat,” Rainbow told Twilight. Twilight looked up to find an anchor falling on top of her.
“I should have seen that coming,” Twilight mumbled. The anchor landed on her.
“Your Princess of the Night has arrived!” Luna bellowed as she was riding the anchor, it frightening the nearby ponies. “I mean, your Princess of the Night has arrived.” She said the second part softer, which made the seaponies less scared. Then every land pony bowed.
“Where’s Twilight?” Luna asked.
“Um, underneath ya,” Applejack said. Luna looked under the acer to find Twilight blacked out.
“Oops, we are most sorry,” Luna said nervously. Rainbow pulled Twilight out from under the large object.
“What happened?” Twilight asked, coming back to her senses.
“Oh, nothing major. You’ll be fine, no worries,” Rainbow said, covering for the Princess’s accident.
“Princess, I made a dress out of seaweed if you want it,” Rarity said holding the dress.
“It looks lovely, my dear subject,” Luna said kindly, looking upon the dress. She then looked around at her aquatic surroundings. “So, it is true. There truly is an underwater world.”
“But I told you, Princess,” Twilight said.
“Indeed, you did. We apologize for not initially believing you,” Luna said.
“It’s quite alright, I don’t think I would have believed me either,” Twilight replied.
Numeral swam up to the Princess of the Night.
“Princess Luna, it is an honor to meet you,” Numeral said, bowing.
“Well, who dost we have here?” Luna looked down over the seapony.
“I am your most humble subject, Numeral,” he introduced, looking up.
“It is a pleasure to meet thee, Numeral,” Luna said, holding out her hoof. Numeral shook it politely and smiled.
“Likewise, Princess,” Numeral said, backing away a respectable distance.
“Hello Princess, I’m the mayor, call me Coral.” She bowed.
“So, you’re the leader of this underwater city,” Luna said.
“Yep,” Coral responded.
“It’s a pleasure, Coral,” Luna said, bowing herself.
“Oh, you do not need to bow to me, Princess. If anything, I should be bowing to you,” Coral said, bowing.
“Well you're the leader of this town so we both bow,” Luna replied.
“Fair enough, I suppose,” Coral said, laughing.
“Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s party!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed.
“Luna? Do you want to try some cake?” Pinkie asked.
“Of course,” Luna said, accepting the dessert. She took a bite. “Oh, this is delicious. Did thou make it?”
“Yep, and a couple other seaponies helped me,” Pinkie smiled
“It has a delightful flavor, what is in it?” Luna asked, eating more of the cake.
“It’s made with seaweed,” Pinkie replied, causing the princess to gag a little.
“Seaweed, thou sayest?” Luna asked as she was surprised.
“Yep! It’s one of the main seapony ingredients. It’s good, isn’t it?” Pinkie Pie said.
“I suppose it’s not that bad,” Luna said, as she took another bite.
“This cake is made from coral too,” Pinkie pointed out.
Pinkie makes uses some weird ingredients, Twilight thought. Then again, we are in an underwater land.
The other seaponies welcomed Princess Luna with open hearts and they all spent the night celebrating the presence of Equestria's ruler.
“This has been fun, but we must return to our duties. Thank you all, may the moon shine brightly above you,” Luna said. “Farewell!”
“Bye, Luna! I hope you have a safe trip back,” Twilight said. The anchor raised with the Princess waving goodbye.
“Well, this has been interesting,” Numeral said, looking up. Twilight wanted to find out one more thing before going back to Ponyville.
“Hey, Numeral, you don’t mind if we make a stop at the library down here, do you?” Twilight asked.
“Um, what do you want?” Numeral asked.
“You’ll see,” Twilight said. “Come on!” The eight friends headed toward the library.
