“How would you feel not knowing how to swim?!” barked back the guard as he stood up to his girlfriend, who rolled her eyes at him.

Nice reference.

Silver Shoals was a perfect getaway resort; even the small beachside town was a thriving paradise. Many peonies walked about, some chatting with others, booths and games being played by smaller kids, and the many hotels. After Storm met with Twilight, the pair decided to explore the beachside resort. However, given how they weren’t fully prepared for the day's heat, they thought it best to dress more appropriately for the weather.

I’m going to assume that’s a typo because I don’t think you meant to have walking, talking flowers in your story (unless you have Discord in it)

Thanks for spotting that. I totally missed that.
