Once upon a time, in the mysterious sea of Equestria, there lived both sirens and merponies. The merponies were kind and lived in harmony, by the sirens were cruel and mean to one another. The ruler of the kingdom of merponies was Queen Luna and she had a beautiful daughter. Her name was Scootaloo. The young princess was adored by all whom she met, but she had a small secret. She liked pony things. Four legged pony things.
"Come on Applebloom!" Scootaloo cried. Her best friend, a merpony named Applebloom bit her lip. "Hey, did you hear me?" The merfilly asked, looking to her. "Of course ah did Scoots! It's.. Don't ya' think it dangerous to do this?" Asked the filly.
"Look! A… Thing!" Scootaloo whispered, catching something we call a fork. "I can add it to my collection!" Squealed the princess. They were about to go when Scootaloo gasped. "Check it out! What do you suppose that is?" She asked, swimming to a ship. "Wow!" She cried, looking around. Applebloom gasped and raced after her. "No! If your mother finds out-" But Scootaloo was already gone. "Oh!" Applebloom sighed anxiously.
"It's beautiful!" Scootaloo cooed, touching a scooter. "What is it?" Applebloom gaged. The princess glared at her. "It's a… Uh… Hm… Well…"
"Scootaloo…"
"Maybe another dinglehop- Oh that's just silly!"
"Scootaloo?"
"Oh! What about a… Hm,"
"Scootaloo!"
"What Applebloom?" Scootaloo cried. She turned and gasped. A shark was staring right back at her. "Oh…" She whispered.
A few minutes later, they had avoided the shark and Scootaloo had pulled up her scooter. The two merponies went to the surface and saw their friend, Pipsqueak the seagull. "Hi, Pip! Look!" The pegasus one cried, showing her treasure. "Cool!" The bird said. "What's it called? Applebloom asked. "I believe, this is a scoot-a-tron!" Pip cried
"Wow…" The fillies uttered together. "It can do all sorts of tricks right?" Asked the princess. "O think so. Speaking of tricks, weren't you supposed to do some in front of the whole entire kingdom today?" Said the bird. "Oh no! Mother's gonna kill me!" Scootaloo cried. Applebloom motioned that they had to go. "Thanks, Pip!" They dove under the water.
"That's right, swim home princess," Adagio, a siren, growled, watching the friends from a hologram. "Hey, why are you watching the princess?" Sonata asked, looking over her shoulder. "Because she's Queen Luna's child! Why else?" The other snapped. Her sister shrugged. "Right. Go get Aria and you two are going to keep a close eye on this little merpony."
"Scootaloo!" Luna growled. "I'm sorry, alright?" Her daughter huffed. "Oh, why couldn't you have arrived on time?" Sweetie Belle, another merfilly said. This filly was Scootaloo and Applebloom's friend but she could get a tiny bit angry with them at times. She knew how enraged the Queen could get and really didn't want to hear it. "All we were doin' was talking to a seagull!" Applebloom complained, then covered her mouth. "WHAT?!" The Queen bellowed. "Here it comes." Sweetie Belle sighed.
"How dare you?! You've been to the surface! I told you never ever to go up there!" Luna yelled. "I know, but-"
"Silence! If I hear about another trip to the surface, young filly, I-" Scootaloo swam out. "I… Hm, do you think I'm too hard on her?" Luna asked. Sweetie Belle bit her lip. "Maybe a little…" She whispered. "C-could you keep an eye on her?"
"Scootaloo! Applebloom!" Sweetie Belle called, looking around for them. She suddenly saw the flick of an orange tail and knew it was the princess's. "Wait up guys!" She squealed. Scootaloo smiled. "Come on! We gotta show you something!" The unicorn hesitated but swam after them.
The trio emerged in a sea cave and Sweetie Belle gasped. "Look! I've collected all these pony things!" Scootaloo cried. Suddenly she started to sing. "Look at this stuff, isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my collection's complete? Wouldn't you think I'm the filly who has everything?" She sighed, swimming around and cradling her little treasures. "Look at this trove, treasures untold. How many wonders can one cavern hold? Lookin around here you'd think, sure, she's got everything!" The filly whispered. "I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty… I've got whosits and whatsits galore! You want thingamabobs? I've got twenty…" She giggled. "But who cares? No big deal… I want more!" The mermare cried, swimming upward.
"I wanna be where the ponies are… I wanna see, wanna see 'em dancing! Walking around on those… What do you call them? Oh… Hooves!" She laughed, grabbing her own fins. "Flipping your fins, you don't get too far. Legs are required for jumpin', dancin'! Strolling along down a…. What's it called? Street!" The princess sighed. "Up where they walk! Up where they run! Up where they stay all day in the sun! Wandrin' free, wish I could be, part of that world!" She whispered. "What would I give, if I could live, out of these waters? What would I pay, if could stay, warm on the sand? Betcha on land… They understand, bet they don't reprimand their daughters! Bright young fillies, sick of swimin', ready to stand!" She cried. She zoomed around her grotto. "And ready to know, what the ponies know. Askin' 'em my questions and gettin' some answers! What's a fire and why does it… What's the word… Burn!" The mermare sang. "When's it my turn? Wouldn't I love? Love to explore that world up… Above? Out of the sea… Wish I could be… Part of that world…." She sighed, landing on the sandy floor.
"That was a lovely song, but-" Sweetie Belle looked up and saw Scootaloo staring up at a looming shadow. "What's that?" She whispered. The two other fillies swam up, leaving their friend behind. "Hey! Wait up!"
"Wow! Wait… Are the stars exploding?!" Scootaloo cried, covering herself. "That pony ship sure doesn't think so…," Applebloom said, pointing and brushing her red, wet mane out of her eyes. The princess gave a squeal and swam up to it. She watched a party go on. "Happy birthday Rainbow Dash!" A pink four-legged pony cried, showering a blue pegasus with a rainbow mane with confetti. "Thanks, girls!" Said the blue one, hugging her five friends close. Scootaloo cocked her head. She watched as the pony flew into the air. The princess looked at her own tiny wings. Perhaps she could fly like that too if she had legs. Rainbow Dash smiled. "This is a special occasion, so it deserves a sonic rainboom, don't you think?" She asked her friends. They nodded. At that moment, Rainbow Dash did a sonic rainboom. "Wow!" Not five, but six voices cried. Scootaloo stared in utter amazement. "That was… Amazing…" She breathed. At that moment, Pipsqueak landed on her shoulder. "Oy! What's going on?" He asked. The princess shushed him. "Isn't she wonderful?" She whispered. "I think he looks kind of scaly," Pip muttered, pointing to a little tortoise named Tank. "No! Her!" Scootaloo giggled, pointing to the pegasus.
"And now! I present my birthday gift to Rainbow!" Pinkie Pie cried. Rainbow Dash gave a small smile. The pink one leaped up to a covering and pulled it with a flourish. The ponies gasped.
"Oh Pinkie, that looks splendid!" Rarity cried
"It's pretty big though," Applejack said.
"Yeah, where are you gonna put it Dash?" Twilight Sparkle asked.
"They'll probably want it in the wonderbolt museum one day!" Rainbow said proudly.
"It's so big…" Fluttershy trembled.
They were looking at a huge statue of the birthday mare and Pinkie flashed the others a happy smile. "Try to top that!" She giggled.
"Hey, guys? I-is that a storm up ahead?" Fluttershy whispered, pointing to storm clouds. All the sudden, a bolt of lightning hit the mast and set it aflame. "Everypony off!" Rainbow Dash yelled. The friends did but Rainbow suddenly saw her beloved turtle moving very slowly towards her. "Tank!" She screamed. She grabbed him and threw him to Fluttershy. But Rainbow couldn't get off the ship and it sunk. "Rainbow!" Her friends screamed.
Scootaloo gasped and dove underwater. She searched frantically for her new idol until she indeed found her. A few minutes later, she had pulled the pony to a sandy beach. "I-is she… Dead?" Scootaloo whispered. Pip landed next to her. "It hard to say." He said. The gull lifted. The pony's hoof and put it to his ear. "I can't feel a heartbeat!" He sobbed. "But she's breathing!" Scootaloo squealed. She sighed. "I sure wish I could spend time with her… I wish I could be like a sister to her." The merfilly started to sing. "What would I give to live where you are? What would I pay to stay here, beside you? What would I do to see you, smiling at me!" She sang. "Where would we run? Where would we fly? If I could stay in the bright blue sky! Just you and me, and I could be part of your world!" Suddenly, she heard voices. She scrambled back to the ocean before anypony could see her. "Rainbow!" Her five friends cried, running to the mare. Rainbow Dash opened her eyes. "A… Filly, she saved me and she was singing…" She coughed. "Well, that could be anypony!" Rarity sighed, helping her up. The group left. Scootaloo's mare filly friends looked up at her. "Okay, I won't tell your mother if you don't tell her, alright?" Sweetie Belle asked. Applebloom elbowed her. "I don't know when, I don't know how, but I know something's starting right now! Watch and you'll see, someday I'll be, part of your world!" The princess sang.
"Oh, I can't stand this! It's just so easy!" Adagio laughed. "The child's a fan of a four-legged pony! And a young naivė princess will be easy to trick…." She whispered.
I know what you're wondering. Why Scootaloo? True she doesn't have the best singing voice, but hey, she's improved. And why Sweetie Belle for Sebastien? If any filly, shouldn't she be Ariel? That's one of the main reasons I picked Sweetie Belle as him, she gets to be the lead singer in Kiss The Girl and Under The Sea. Don't worry, I'm gonna change some of the lyrics of that first song. Applebloom…. She's cute. That's all I got to say. Pip… I just knew Pinkie had to be a four-legged pony and how, oh how, could I restrain myself when he was a wee little British accent! All the songs belong to Disney.
