Chapter 8: The World of Seaquestria

Suddenly, Princess Twilight is gasping for air. Then the others begin to gasp for air as well. The girls and Spike find that they have bubbles on their head to help them breath. The Dazzling don't need bubbles to breath because they are already merponies.

"Way to leave it to the last minute, Twilight!" Pinkie comment.

"I didn't make these bubbles!" Princess Twilight says.

"Then… who did?" Fluttershy asks with a pant.

Suddenly, something swim right past them.

"What was that?" Sonata asks, looking nervous.

"I think we're not alone," Sunn replies

Princes Twilight calmly calls out, "Hello? We're looking for the Hippogriffs."

Suddenly, a glowing light appears, and a female voice asks, "How do I know I can trust you?"

"Please. The Storm King invaded our land. And we need their help," Princess Twilight says.

Adagio swims forward, and says, "We had to travel a long way to find them. You don't need to worry about anything."

"The Storm King?!" The light says in surprise.

Just then, the light swims close enough to reveal a seapony, and a female at that. This seapony has yellow scales, light blue tail fins, find on the hooves, and hair, light orange red transparent fins on the back, and blue color eyes. She is wearing a light orange necklace on her neck that has a pearl, and a pinkish red sea anemone on her head.

"I'm so glad I saved you guys! And I get to see other seaponies!" The merpony happily says.

She swims up to them, and says, "I'm totally taking you to my mom!"

Princess Twilight gasp as the seapony grabs her by the hoof, and pulls her.

Princess Twilight asks, "Does your mother know where they are?"

The seapony happily sings, "Oho! She might have an idea!" And giggles in reply.

"Hoo-hoo!" Princess Twilight cheers.

Sun smiles, and asks,"So what's your name?"

"I'm Skystar, and it's very nice to meet you all," Skystar says with a smile.

The girls and Spike hang on to each other as Skystar help them get to where the Hippogriffs are. Rainbow and the Dazzlings swim on their own.

They swim through a cave to see a light coming right towards them

"We're almost there!" Skystar happily says.

Everypony are able to swim out of the cave to see a most beautiful sight. They see a underwater kingdom that glows bright. In the middle it looks like an underwater palace.

"Wow!" Everyone reply in amazement.

Skystar continues to lead the girls and the dragon to the palace. As they swim, the sea ponies are surprised to see newcomers from the surface, especially three new sea ponies among them. Many of them are starting to worry.

Soon, Skystar and the mane eleven swim inside the palace and enter the throne room. There are sea ponies dressed as guards. And there is one sitting on a throne.

This merpony is a light pink color with purple fins on the head and tail. There are also fins on the head, and the hooves. She has light purple transparent wings, and is wearing a crown and a necklace too. Her eyes is a purple color.

Skystar swims up to the throne, and says, "Mother, look what I found!"

"Is it another shell?" The mother boredly asks.

"Mm-mm," Skystar says, shaking her head.

"Because I am telling you if it is another shell, I am…" The mother says.

But gasp in shock to see what her daughter has found, and scolds, "Princess Skystar, whatta you done?! You know surface dwellers are forbidden here!"

Then shouts, "Guards!"

The guards swims up to the group with spears, and the girls gasp in shock

But Skystar quickly explains, "No no n-no! M-M-Mom, please! It is so not like that! The Storm King is trying to destroy their home, too!"

"We need to find the Hippogriffs. Do you know what happened to them?" Princess Twilight asks.

"Well, of course I know. I'm the queen. I know everything," The mother who is the queen answers.

"Oh, oh, it's such a good story!" Skystar happily replies.

Skystar swims away as her mother sternly says, "Don't you dare tell them!"

But Skystar doesn't seem to listen. She uses her magic to creature a picture of the Hippogriffs on Mount Aris.

"Once upon a time, like, a while ago, the Hippogriffs did live on Mount Aris," Skystar narrates.

"Oooh!" the girls and Spike say in interest.

"Did I not say don't tell them? But hey, I'm just the queen. Don't mind me," The queen says with an annoyed expression

"Fine! I can't tell you!" Skystar says with an annoyed look.

But happily continues, "But if I could tell you, I'd say that that horned beast did show up to steal their magic!" As she makes a picture of the Storm King on the wall

"Seriously?" The queen bluntly replies.

Sun speaks, "I knew the Storm King has something to do with it!"

"You are so right," Skystar happily says.

Skystar then makes a picture of a hippogriff and says, "But, to keep it out of his clutches, their brave and majestic leader, Queen Novo…"

"hid them deep underwater where he could never go!" Skystar adds, creating the picture of the sea ponies in the undersea castle they are now.

Then Skystar happily says, "We are... Well, we were the Hippogriffs! Ta-da!"

Then whispers to the girls, "But I totally did not tell you that!"

"Well, I guess the pearl is out the oyster now. I am Queen Novo," the queen says.

Confused, Applejack begins to swim towards the queen, and questions, "Hold on now. Lemme get this straight. When the Storm King came, you just abandoned your entire city and fled?"

"We didn't flee! We swam! Y'know, in order to flee," Skystar clarifies.

"But... how?" Princess Twilight asks.

Princess Skystar swims up to her mother, and happily asks, "Oh! Can we show them? Huh? These are the first guests we've had in, like, foreveeerrr!"

"Can we, can we, can we, can we, can we, can we, can we, can we, can we?" Skystar asks, taping her mother on the chest.

Novo thinks about it for a bit and, answers, "Well, I suppose I should make sure it still works."

Queen Novo and Princess Skystar swims on the stop of a jellyfish chandelier. They both swim around it, as the jellyfish spirals downaway. Both of them reach the bottom. Skystar giggles with a smile on her face

"Careful, now," Novo says to herself, as a shimming magical pearl lands on her hooves.

Once the pearl lands on Novo's hooves. She begins to rub the pearl in order to use it's magic. Skystar squeals in excitement. Just then, a magical aura appears from the pearl, and travels to the girls

"Huh?" the gang question when the magic surrounds them.

Soon, everyone begins to change their form

"Oh!" Princess Twilight replies, seeing her body has change with a giggle.

Ooh! Oh!" Fluttershy says, amazed to see her gaining a tail

Applejack surprisingly says, "Oh. Wa-wa-whoa!" Then her tail and legs become fishtails. She giggles with glee.

Soon, the rest of the girls have been turned into sea ponies like the hippogriffs has done. And now can breath under the water like the Dazzlings. They are amazed to see their new tails.

"Wow!" Fluttershy happily saus.

Rainbow laughs with excitement.

"These fins are divine!" Rarity says, admiring her new find.

She swims up to Applejack says, "Hey, Applejack, I'll race ya to that coral!"

When her hat falls off, Applejack puts her hat back on, and says, "You're on!"

Soon the two girls begin to swim.

"Woo-hoo!" Pinkie cheers with a giggle.

She then turns to Fluttershy, and says, "Ooh! Try it, Fluttershy!"

Then swims away.

Fluttershy giggles, and quietly cheers, "Yay."

Suddenly, the girls look to see Spike has transformed into a puffer fish.

Freaked out, Spike asks, "Guys? Guys? What is…"

The puffs up like a balloon, "...happening?!"

"Aw, so cute!" Fluttershy happily replies with a giggle.

Princess Twilight shouts in excitement, "This is amazing!"

Then swims up to Queen Novo, and says, "With this, we could transform everypony at home into something powerful enough to face the Storm King's army!"

Sonata comes over, and happily shouts, "Yeah! How about you can change me into… a giant sea monster!"

"Now don't carried away with it or you'll become a real sea monster," Sun says.

"And it could end up in his greedy claws!" Queen Nova says.

"But…" Princess Twilight says in disappointment.

"Honey, I'm sorry about your home. I truly am. But my responsibility is to protect my subjects. The pearl... is not going anywhere," Queen Nova says, and puts her pearl back in its place.

Princess Twilight panics, and explains, "But we've come all this way. And you can't just hide down here! Trapped forever! There's so much you're missing!"

"We are one hundred percent okay with that!" Novo says.

"Did the Storm King tried to take it before?" Sun asks.

Novo sighs, and answers, "Yes. and he almost got away with it too."

Just then, an small red octopus swims over and chitters.

"Yes, Jamal?" Novo questions.

The octopus Jamal chitters.

Novo happily says, "Ooh! Time for my seaweed wrap,"

Then Jamal chittsers.

"Yes, a massage, too. Mama needs her deep tissue," Novo says.

Then swims out of the throne room with Jamal. Princess Twilight and the others are stunned to see and hear what has happen.

"So that's it? We left home for nothin'?" Applejack says sounding upsert.

Suddenly, Skystar has an idea, "Oh, my gosh! Best... idea! You can stay with us! Forever! There are so many things we can do! "

She laughs, and happily says, holding a bracelet made of shells, "We can make friendship bracelets out of shells and…"

"Picture frames outta shells and…" Skystar says, holding a picture frame made of shells.

Then hugs a wastebasket made of shells, "Decorative wastebaskets out of shells…"

"Oh, I have so many projects that involve shells, haha! Now I have someone new to share them with! I mean, aside from my friends, Shelly and Sheldon," Skystar says, presenting two shells.

One of them is purple and the other is magenta, and they both have googly eyes.

" Right? 'Shelly?'" Skystar says, holding the magenta shell.

Pinkie gasps.

Then Skystar presents the purple one, "And 'Sheldon?'"

"Get it?" Skystar asks with a chuckle and a snort.

"Ooh, ooh…" Rarity replies.

Pinkie giggles.

Adagio mutters, "Cute."

Then Rarity says, "That sounds lovely, darling, but you must realize, we can't stay."

"We've gotta get back to our families," Applejack adds.

Oh, no. Of course. Of course. Heh. Of course you have your own friends back home. It's fine. It's fine. Heh," Skyster says trying to smile.

She then whispers, "Shelly and Sheldon get jealous anyways."

Heh. It's probably for the best," Skystar says.

She lets out a sigh,Yeah, I'll just, um…,"

"I'll get Mom to, uh, turn you back so you can go home," Skystar saddens with each other.

Skystar swims away with a sadness and loneliness on her face.

Sonata turns to Sun, "Sun, does Skystar looks um, lonely to you."

"I think she is. I guess she doesn't have that many friends. I know how it was like longing for friend, " Sun sadly replies.

Then Pinkie says,"I know we have to go, but you guys saw how disappointed Princess Skystar was. Couldn't we stay for just a little longer?"

"Pinkie, we just don't have time for… Applejack about to speaks.

But Princess Twilight says, "Oh, no. No no. Pinkie's right."

"Say what now?" Rainbow questions.

"Well, we still need to come up with a plan to get back. A few minutes won't make a huge difference. And if there's anypony who can cram a lifetime of fun into a blink of an eye, it's Pinkie Pie!" Princess Twilight explains.

Pinkie shows off a big smile on her face.

"So, go ahead and show Skystar the best time ever!" Princess Twilight adds.

Pinkie happily says, "I won't let you down!"

Princess Twilight swims behind the others, and slowly push them away, "I'm counting on it."

Pinkie and the others being to swim away to be with Princess Skystar, and are leaving Princess Twilight behind.

Sun turns her head to face Princess Twilight, and asks, "Twilight, what are you up to?"

"Oh nothing, I just wanted Skystar to have a great time," Princess Twilight says.

"Okay," Sun says, sounding unsure. Then swims away to join the others.

Once everyone is gone, Princess Twilight turns her head towards the magical pearl of Queen Novo.

Meanwhile, Princess Skystar is very sad that the girls will be leaving.

Skystar sniffles, and says, "It's probably for the best."

Then is trying her best not to cry.

Suddenly, Pinkie lifts up shelly:

Pinkie Pie as Shelly:

Hey, now, don't be sad

Then lifts up Sheldon:

Pinkie Pie as Sheldon:

I know we cannot stay

Skystar turns to see Pinkie with her shells.

Pinkie Pie:

Then the others join in with Pinkie.

Princess Skystar:

Skystar is about to leave, but Pinkie swims to her upside down.

Pinkie Pie:

But we can still pick one small, little thing

To do with you, y'know!

Pinkie then swims ahead to show Skystar a good time. The others push and drag Skystar to come along. Soon all of them leaves the undersea palace to have some fun.

Pinkie Pie:

One small thing doesn't seem like a lot

Pinkie, Skystar, and the others are seeing their reflections on the shell, and making funny faces.

Pinkie Pie:

Then swimming with other puffer fishes, around the homes of the seaponies.

Princess Skystar:

Many of the seaponies sticks their head out from the holes under their homes.

Soon Pinkie, the girls, and Skystar are on the green fishes.

She then toss the shells away, and swims fast on the green fish

Princess Skystar:

Princess Skystar:
