	Blossomforth pushed an annoying Cloud Kicker away from her. The latter was obviously teasing the former about banging yet again, and the latter was about to point out how the former flirtatiously pushed her, when a ball landed on her head, and bounced somewhere else, eliciting a teasing giggle from the former.

A very shaky stallion sat on the beach, his boring features shook as he nervously glanced left and right. He shouldn't have come to the beach. Something bad was bound to happen to him. He wasn't sure what, but he was sure that something will happen to him. Why did he come to the beach in the first place anyway? He just wanted to go to the inks and quills shop to buy some ink so he could write his diary. Then a sudden exciting thought hit him: go to the beach. It was exciting at first, but now he thought of how reckless the idea was now. Oh, how he wanted to go home and—a ball hit his head, and bounced away. He gasped. That was a sign! A sign! He scampered away as he shouted in fear and panic, drawing many raised eyebrows at his retreating form.

A certain black and red alicorn OC was building a sand castle to show his greatness and friendliness to everypony, when a ball hit his head, throwing him into the sand castle, and buried him alive, and was never to be heard from again. And oh, the ball bounced elsewhere again.

A shark emerged from the surface of the waters, smiling brightly at the large number of ponies. No, he wasn't smiling because he can eat any of those ponies. He smiled, because he saw the rainbow-maned cyan pegasus lying on the sandy shore, enjoying the sunshine. After a quick check of his breath, he pumped his chest and a ball struck his head, knocking him out unconscious and he sank in the bowels of the ocean.

On the far-away spot of the beach, a lonesome Lyra was witnessing the magic of portals. In front of her was a portal, and to her joy, a human was walking out, and smiled brightly when he saw the unicorn. Lyra giggled excitingly like a small filly, and she jumped towards the human. The human prepared to give a hug, but a ball struck his face, and pushed him back. The ball bounced back to Lyra's face, and threw her back. The ball struck the human again, and pushed him back inside the portal. Lyra wanted to shout, but the ball hit her muzzle. The ball hit the ‘close’ button on the portal, and it bounced away as the portal disappeared.

“NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!”

And the ball bounced somewhere else...
