Maretime Bay Day: Part 1
The scene shows the clear skies with white fluffy clouds as birds were flying and chirping only for a white pegasus to fly by.
It was none other than Zipp Storm, princess of the pegasi and heiress to the throne.
She flew around where she hid in the clouds to sneak by two pegasi where she then flew off as she headed towards Zephyr Heights.
When Zipp arrived, she was seen hanging upside down looking through a window.
Zipp then flew up right and rammed into the window a bit to open it only to fail where she placed her hoof on it only for the windows to open inward as she fell to the floor of the castle halls where her younger sister Pipp Petals called her over the radio on her fanny pack.
Pipp [Over Radio]: So did you get it yet, Zipp?!
Zipp: Almost.
Pipp [Over Radio]: Well, hurry up!
Zipp got up with confidence.
Zipp: On it. Maximum sneaky engaged.
Zipp heard footsteps approaching where she hid as royal guard ponies Zoom and Thunder approached.
The guard ponies closed the windows as Zipp was seen flying over them where she entered another hall unseen as put her back against the wall then jumped over to another where there was a portrait of her and Pipp as fillies with their mom, Queen Haven.
Zipp: Hey, mom.
Zipp then made her way to twin glass doors with a hoof scanner on the right side.
Zipp placed her hoof on the scanner where the twin glassdoors opened to show it was Pipp's own room.
Zipp then saw a golden microphone with a white handle and small golden wings in a glass case where she slowly moved the glass and grabbed the mic, gently putting the glass cover back.
Zipp ran out of the room as she ran through the halls smiling.
Zipp: Missionaccomplished!
Pipp [Over Radio]: Good! Now fly fast!
Zipp: *Chuckles* No problems with that!
Zipp leapt out a window and flew off.
# You gotta let it glow! You gotta let it shine!
Zipp flapped her wings as she flew around the clouds.
# Oh, let's make our mark together. Just riding on forever. Just keeps on getting better, better, better!
Zipp did a quick loopty loop as she continued to fly.
# Every pony everywhere, you can feel it in the air! Find your spark and just glow and shine!
Zipp is now seen flying over the waters of Zephyr Heights as she sees the newly built Crystal Brighthouse.
# Make a mark that you can share! Hoof to heart you know we care! Oh, ponies come on, let's all unite…!
Zipp was seen flying over the town of Zephyr Heights as she saw unicorns and earth ponies walking all over the streets as she smiled. Only…
Filly: Aah! Watch out!
Zipp saw two twin pegasi foals crash into each other while flying where they started to fall.
Zipp dove down and caught them where she flew up and made a quick landing.
Zipp: Heads up, everypony!
Zipp gently put the twins down as she landed.
Filly: I'm so sorry. Thank you, Princess Zipp.
Zipp: Zipp! Just call me Zipp. And don't worry about it. The magic from the Unity Crystals in the Brighthouse is new to all of us. It takes practice!
The scene changes to Pipp holding her phone with the camera on as she was pointing it at Sunny Starscout.
Sunny: Should I start now, or…?
Next to Pipp was Hitch Trailblazer and Izzy Moonbow and with them was Duke Venture, descendant of Rail Spike. Saber Fruit, descendant of Royal Silver. Blaze Chaser, descendant of Zero Dawn. Desna 'Des' Maverick, descendant of Iceberg, Cadence, and Rain Shine. North 'North' Star and Obsidia Scream, descendants of Starkiller and Celestia, where North was also the coltfriend of Sunny, Izzy, Zipp, and Pipp.
Pipp: Ugh, where is she?!
North Star: Calm down, Pipp. I caught her scent AND heard her voice. She's close.
Pipp: Well, I really wanted to use my–
Zipp then landed next to them.
Zipp: Lucky microphone?
Izzy: There she is!
North Star: You timed and planned did you?
Pipp: What took you so long?! Don't tell me you were sneaking around the palace again.
Zipp winked where Pipp just sighed.
Pipp: You know you can just enter through the main doors. It's our house!
Zipp: But if mom knew I was there, I'd get stuck doing one of her random princess lessons.
Pipp: Good point.
Blaze Chaser: I guess when you're the heiress to the throne, you want to do your best to avoid those at all costs.
Duke Venture: Wish I could do the same when Eclipse gave me Hero Lectures.
Zipp gave Sunny the mic as the latter faced the camera.
Pipp: Okay, Sunny. Just remember, pretend you're talking to us and not like all of Equestria, and you'll do great!
Sunny: Uh…
Pipp: You're live…now!
Pipp started to record and livestream.
Sunny: Like, now, now?
Saber Fruit: Why couldn't Harmonia be involved with this?
Desna: Because, even though we got magic back and all ponykind back together, Equestria is still not ready for the other creatures. For now, me and the Royal Dragons are enough.
Pipp nodded towards Sunny.
Sunny: Uh…Hey, everypony! I'm Sunny Starscout, and I live here in Maretime Bay with my friends!
Pipp changed the view of the camera to face them where she changed it back to face Sunny.
Sunny: A lot has changed around here in the past few months! Maritime Bay used to be the place just us Earth Ponies live. Just like how unicorns always stayed in Bridlewood and pegasi never left Zephyr Heights. But when we found the three Unity Crystals and brought them back together, it brought us back together! All ponykinds were reunited in friendship. Now any pony can live anywhere! And…we have magic again! Eee!
Pipp turned the camera to Izzy who was levitating some fruit.
Izzy: Doo-doo-doo! Well, the unicorns and pegasi do!
Izzy laughed as she threw the fruit into the air where they fell as one of them landed on her horn where she giggled.
Izzy: Ta-da! *Gasp* Now you, Sunny. Show everypony what you can do!
Pipp turned the camera to Sunny.
Pipp: Ooh! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! Turn into an alicorn! Eee! *Reverse camera view to herself* That's an Earth pony, pegasus, and unicorn all-in-one! *Turns camera back to Sunny*
Sunny: Uh…
Sunny chuckled nervously
Sunny: You know it doesn't really work like that, guys. I can't just…
North Star: Sunny, Nemesis can teach you. He and Shadox know more about magic than any of us.
Sunny: But-
North Star: I get it. He's scary, and his sanity always comes to question. But he knows what he's doing.
Obsidia: Not to mention he's also an alicorn.
Sunny just laughed nervously as she knew the Royal Dragons had a point.
Sunny: Anyway, the point is, magic powers or not, I think everypony can agree that our lives are way more magical now that we're together again.
Pipp moves her head in front of the camera.
Pipp [Sings]: You know it! Okay, Sunny. Do the thing!
Sunny smiled.
Sunny: Do you like super fun times? Are you interested in learning more about Earth Pony traditions and tasting local treats? Do you want to see ponies sing in a big concert?
Izzy: Yes! You bet. And yes!
Sunny: Then you should come to our annual Maretime Bay Day Festival for a day of fun in the sunshine! It's going to be a blast! And I'm not just talking about the fireworks show! *Giggles* All ponykinds are welcome!
Hitch walked up in front of the camera in excitement.
Hitch: Oh, oh! I love Maretime Bay Day! You gotta come check it out!
Hitch grabs Pipp's phone and gets close up to the camera.
Hitch: The live Maretime music! The sand castle contest! The caramel Ponycorn! Ahh! It's the best!
Popcorn filter started covering the screen on the phone where a bird flying behind and above Hitch slurped as it thought it was real popcorn as it swooped down and took Pipp's phone.
Hitch: Hey! Give that back!
Pipp: *Gasp* North, my phone!
North Star: I got this. Des, Sis, launch me!
Zipp: Launch you?
Des used his tail to grab ahold of one of North's legs where he jumped up and pulled North where he spun around and flung the Dragon Prince towards his taller yet younger sister.
Obsidia got her back hooves up as North curled up into a ball as the former bucked North towards the bird as he uncurled and started to fly after the bird where the others followed.
At the Brighthouse, Nemesis was watching the group of ponies chase the bird where he just laughed.
Nemesis: Just like us back then.
Shadox: You know, instead of watching them, how about you help me with this?
Nemesis and Shadox were seen working on something where it was hidden underneath a big white cloth.
Nemesis: Shadox, do you sometimes wish we can go back?
Shadox: What do you mean?
Nemesis: I mean, go back to when things were the same. I miss my friends, our families, everyone. We had a great time, and I could've passed on like the rest of them.
Shadox: We had a good run. And I was surprised when you and Rarity got married. That was something.
Nemesis: Heh. Yeah. Back then we always argued and I would figure out ways to insult her or even ruin her mane. But now look. My own wife. Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and change this future.
Shadox: You know the rules, Nemesis. We can go back in time to prevent something from the past from happening where it will branch off into a separate timeline. But we can't go back in time to change. But going back in time to change the course of that something is prohibited.
Nemesis: I know. I just wish I could change what I done.
Shadox: It was an accident, Nemesis. You didn't have to put yourself into exile.
Nemesis: Well I deserved it.
Shadox: No you didn't. We knew what happened. When you left into your self exile, it broke our hearts. Especially Twilight's.
Nemesis flinched and sighed.
Shadox: Twilight loved you. You might've been brother and sister in-laws, but she treated you like you were both related by blood. She saw you as her actual brother. She held in her tears throughout the day and then cried every night. She went on like that for an entire month. And she never saw you again. The last time she saw you was when she was about to move on and join our friends. Friends who never got the chance to say goodbye to you because you were missing.
Nemesis just put the tools down and walked to the edge of the cliff and stared out to the ocean.
Nemesis: There are times I wish I could turn back the damn clock so I could stop myself from leaving. So I can see my friends one last time. To apologize to Twilight.
Shadox: She loved you as much as any sister would. Even after you left, she knew you would come back one day. She had hope for you even when she died. And look at you now. You returned. Just as she hoped for. Now come on and help me finish this.
Nemesis walked back to Shadox as they continued working on their project.
Back with the ponies, they were still chasing the bird as they were running towards a house out in an open field as the bird spit out and dropped the phone.
Izzy used her magic to catch it only for her magic to glitch out and almost made her drop it where she dripped and slid across the ground as she crashed into a bunch of planted flowers.
Izzy: Got it!
The others laughed as Izzy blew the leaves off her face and brought the phone down.
Izzy: Oh! Hey, look! It's still on.
Izzy laughed as she gave Pipp her phone back.
Pipp: See you at the festival!
Pipp ended the livestream
Sunny: You okay, Izzy?
Izzy got up as she removed the leaves from her mane.
Izzy: Oh, yeah, oh, yeah! I mean, a little bit of ground glitter never hurt anypony.
Saber Fruit: Not sure about the plants.
Sunny: Well, thank hoofness for magic!
Izzy leaped over by Sunny's side.
Izzy: Oh yeah!
Pipp: Definitely.
Zipp: Fo sho.
North Star: To Infinity…
Desna: And Beyond…
?: Well I, for one, do not agree.
An Earth pony mare walked out of the house all upset.
The mare was yellow with a pink mane and tail tied as a ponytail with a green bow as she had green eyes and six pink tulips with green stems as a cutie mark where she wore a beaded necklace with a five leaf clover.
This was Posey Bloom.
Sunny: Is this about your flowers, Posey? It was an accident but we'll fix them right away
Posey: No! What I meant was that I wish magic had never come back! And I'm not the only pony around here who thinks so.
Sunny: Uh, what do you mean?
Posey: You pegasi are always flying too fast! O-or too low! Or too high up!
Pipp: What's wrong with flying high up?
Blaze Chaser: We get the too low bit, but high up?
Posey: Ugh! I just don't like it, okay?!
Posey walked up in front of them.
Posey: And every time I'm at the market, there's some smug unicorn using their magic to shop. I almost got hit in the head by a bag of floating apples yesterday! Magic is not very safe. At least not for the rest of us ponies who don't have it.
Posey then got up in front of Hitch.
Posey: Right, Sheriff Hitch?
Hitch: Uh…I don't know if I would say that.
Posey just grumbled.
Sunny: Everypony is just… still learning how to use it. That's all. Magic takes practice!
Posey: Hmm!
Posey walked back to her house.
Posey: Then they should do it somewhere else other than my garden!
Posey walked into her house and slammed the door shut.
Gaia: (Well she's a hoofful.)
North Star: (You think?)
Gaia was the Goddess of all magic and when North was revived by magic, he became a host for her.
Izzy: Okay, wow! She was really nice, right guys?
The others walked off where Izzy used her magic to fix Posey's flowers as she hummed as she also fixed the mailbox as North and Sunny watched.
Izzy: Oh! Come on, North and Sunny! Let's go home.
Izzy trotted off where Sunny saw Posey looking through the window only for the latter to close the curtains.
Sunny: Don't worry, Posey. I'm gonna find a way to show you and everypony else just how awesome magic can be.
North held Sunny's hoof as they caught up to the others.
The group of friends made it back to the Lighthouse where Nemesis and Shadox were still outside working on their project.
Shadox: Welcome back.
Nemesis: You catch that bird that stole your phone, Pipp?
Pipp: How did you know?
Nemesis: I know all, see all.
North Star: Shadox?
Shadox: He was watching you all with binoculars.
The group entered the Brighthouse as Izzy was about to head upstairs.
Izzy: Pipp! Pipp! Pipp! I want to show you something!
Pipp followed Izzy into the bedroom which was shared between them, Obsidia, Zipp, and even North.
Izzy and Pipp walked up to Izzy's part of the room as Pipp was humming.
Pipp: So, what did you want to show me?
Izzy: Well, I don't know if you noticed, but I consider myself a bit of an artist.
Pipp: Of course I noticed! All of this beautiful stuff was by you! You're so creative, Izzy. And you're amaze at making new things out of old things. *Gasps* What do you call it again?
Izzy: Oh, yeah, Unicycling!
Pipp: Unicycling! Yes, yes, that's it!
Izzy: So, the other day, when I was searching for my box of googly eyes in the basement, I found these!
Izzy went through a box where she pulled out a busted lamp and a dented metal boomerang where Pipp gasped.
Pipp: Is that Sunny's old lantern?
Izzy: Well, her dad made it for her when she was a filly!
Pipp: And is that North's old boomerang?
Izzy: Yep! But since he has that Ranger and Rider equipment, along with that Sincario sword, he never uses it. So I thought…
Pipp: *Gasps* That you'd fix the lantern for Sunny and make something new out of North's old boomerang for him as a Maretime Bay Day present?!
Izzy: Yup! But shh! It has to be a surprise! Sorry.
Pipp: Eee! I love surprises! Your secret is safe with me.
Izzy and Pipp: Hoof to Heart!
Both Izzy and Pipp did the hoof to heart gesture where they were now downstairs with the others making pizza as music was playing in the background.
Sunny took a pizza that was done and was placing it in the oven to be cooked where Zipp was by herself.
Zipp: Ugh…
Pipp: Zipp! Zipp! Zipp!
Zipp: Huh?
Pipp: I have been asking you if you want extra cheese on your pizza for like 10 minutes! What's up with you?
Zipp: Oh, sorry. Just thinking about something weird that happened earlier.
Pipp: The thing with Posey?
Zipp: Oh, uh…Yeah! That!
Sunny: Same here! How could she not love magic?
North Star: Yeah. I'm actually grateful to magic. If it weren't for those crystals, I would be taking a permanent nap in a coffin buried underground.
Obsidia: It was surprising how the Unity Crystals brought you back to life after you died. But who cares. You're alive, and that's all that matters.
Desna: Don't forget, they also connected you to the Goddess of Magic herself.
Duke Venture: And they gave you magic eyes.
North Star: And how I confessed to four of the greatest mares I ever met.
North winks at Sunny, Izzy, Zipp, and Pipp who giggled.
Blaze Chaser: Well, then, why does Posey hate magic? We can do all sorts of awesome things.
Hitch: Earth Ponies never had magic before. Maybe Posey's jealous.
Pipp: Jealous?
Hitch: I know I am. Magic seems a little scary, but it would be pretty cool to be able to levitate things. Or even teleport or do crazy spells like how North and the others have been doing with Nemesis.
Izzy: Like this?!
Izzy levitated a pizza into the air and started spinning it as the others watched where a crab walked by with a bowl of shredded cheese which distracted Izzy and made her drop the pizza.
Izzy: Whoa. Whoops!
The pizza landed on top of Izzy's head as her horn stabbed through it as the others laughed as Izzy licked some sauce off her face.
Izzy: Mmm! Worth it!
Pipp: Ah, you're right, Hitch. That is so much better than flying.
Saber Fruit: Well, back then over a thousand years ago, Earth Ponies were well known for being great farmers. Not…whatever is going on.
North Star: Like Applejack of the Element of Honesty. Her family was nothing but made of Earth Ponies, yet they grew apple orchards in many places all over Equestria. They even grew those Apple Trees in deserts.
As the ponies continued making pizza, Zipp walked up to Sunny.
Zipp: So, have you figured out the whole magical wings and horn appearing at random times thing yet?
Sunny: No, and it's been getting worse.
A flashback occurs where Sunny was seen giving a mare her smoothie.
The mare walks up and pays Sunny only for Sunny to suddenly turn into her alicorn form which stuns those who saw her.
Sunny: Uh…
Sunny was losing her balance only for the smoothie she made spill on the floor where she slipped and made the smoothie cart tip over.
Sunny: Whoa!
The smoothie cart crashed on its side where Sunny got up where a smoothie cup landed on her mane which ended the flashback as the scene changed back to the present.
Zipp: Maybe Posey has a point. Magic is unpredictable.
Sunny: Hmm.
Sunny walked over to the oven as the timer went off where she brought out the freshly cooked pizza.
Sunny: It may be unpredictable, but it's not dangerous!
Sunny brought the pizza out as she tossed it into the air where Izzy used her magic to catch it and split it into even slices for them to share.
Sunny: We just need to show the Earth Ponies that magic is nothing to be afraid of. It makes Equestria a-a better place. And…it's fun!
Izzy: Wow! Are you ponies thinking what I'm thinking?!
Sunny: I think I might be!
Izzy: Alright, everypony. On the count of three. One…two…three. Floating parade! Right?
Sunny just smiled.
Sunny: Not exactly, but close! We're going to use Maretime Bay Day as our chance to show off all the amazing things magic can do! Then everypony will remember just how special it is that we have friendship and magic in our lives again. Are you ponies in?
Izzy: Yeah!
Pipp: Definitely, definitely!
Hitch: I'm in!
North Star: To Infinity…!
Desna: And Beyond!
Obsidia: I'm so excited I might scream!
Blaze Chaser: Let's do it, to it!
Saber Fruit: All For One, And One For All!
Duke Venture: I'm so ready for this!
Before Zipp could say anything, her phone started ringing where she brought it out only to look annoyed.
Zipp: Ugh.
Zipp walked off as she went up to the top of the Crystal Brighthouse where the Crystals were resting.
Where she flipped her phone open to extend her screen and answered the call.
