The Sea Monster Attack

So Trixie had decided to go out on a short trip out to sea. When she got to the port, she had made the arrangements and was ready to go the next day. "Maybe this will take my mind off of everything else," Trixie thought to herself, "And maybe I can forgive myself for what I have done. And by the way, those were amazing salt spires."

Soon enough, Trixie arrived at the dockyard. "Right, this is the place," Trixie said, "Now I wonder where is the boat?" She looked at all of the boats docked in their respective docks.

"Over here," said a voice. Trixie turned and saw a cyan unicorn pony with a image of a sailor hat for a cutie mark. He is with a boat ready to go out to sea.

Trixie walked up to the unicorn pony. "So you must be the sailor who owns this boat," said Trixie, walking up to the unicorn. "Right," replied the unicorn pony, "I am that pony who is a sailor of course. See my cutie mark?" "I see," said Trixie.

"My name is Hercules," the unicorn pony said. "And my name is Trixie," said Trixie, "And I'm ready to go out with you. If and when you're ready." "Very well then," said Hercules, "Let's get ready. And I'll be glad to take you out to sea. But you know that already!" "All right," said Trixie, "Go for it!"

So first, Hercules and Trixie got their life vests on. "Safety first," said Hercules, "Even if we are unicorns." "Agree with you," said Trixie. After that, Hercules is ready to go.

"So, what now?" asked Trixie. Hercules raised the sail. "Well," Hercules said "We wait for a Pegasus pony to blow us out to sea." "Oh," said Trixie.

"Ahoy!" Hercules called a Pegasus pony flying nearby. It was Clear Skies. "Yes?" Clear Skies replied. "Could you send my boat out to sea?" asked Hercules. "Of course I can!" replied Clear Skies.

So Clear Skies flapped her wings to create a strong wind to blow the ship out to sea. "There you go," said Clear Skies.

With that, Hercules and Trixie were sailing out to sea.

"Well," said Trixie, "This is a great experience." "I'm glad for you," said Hercules. "I'm glad that you're enjoying our trip." "Thanks," said Trixie, "I really needed this trip."

Hours passed and the boat stood still in the middle of the ocean. "Well, I said sea," said Hercules, "But we've ended up in the middle of the ocean." "Yeah," said Trixie, "True. I have never been out here in my whole life." "I can see," said Hercules, "Well, now, you're getting your chance." "Yeah," agreed Trixie.

Suddenly the boat began to rock back and forth. "What's going on?" asked Trixie, starting to worry. "I think I have a guess," Hercules replied. "It's not guest?" asked Trixie as a large creature suddenly burst out of the water.

Trixie and Hercules looked at the creature. It looked like a giant whale with horns and tusks.

"What is that?!" Trixie cried out loud. "It's Cetus!" Hercules called out, "The monstrous whale!" "And I thought the Ursa Minor was bad!" thought Trixie.

The monstrous whale named Cetus splashed down near the boat, causing a large wave to rock the ship violently. "It is a mad whale!" cried Trixie, "Just like in a story!" "Come on!" cried Hercules, "Let's try to tame this beast!" "How?" asked Trixie. "Are you blind?" asked Hercules, "We're unicorns!" "Oh, right," Trixie said.

The next time Cetus jumped out of the water, preparing to attack, Hercules blasted the monster whale with magic, forcing it to back off. "Got it!" said Hercules. But Cetus would not give up. "It's a mad whale!" cried Hercules, "And I am not a famous literary character!"

"But we can't let that thing crush us!" said Trixie, "Now here I go!" And she too blasted Cetus with magic. "Right!" agreed Hercules and he fired magic at the monster whale again. The two unicorn ponies continued to fire magic at the whale. Cetus managed to get out of range of fire by diving underwater. "Where did he go?" asked Trixie.

"Underwater," answered Hercules. The two ponies looked around to find the whale. After minute, Trixie saw the whale. "Hercules," she called, "He's coming up from below!" "Oh dear," said Hercules, "With those horns and tusk, he'll rip my ship apart like tissue." "Not if I can help it!"

Trixie said and she used her magic to move the boat out of the way. She did it and Cetus shot out of the water. "That was close," said Hercules, "Nice move with your magic." "Thanks," panted Trixie, "I don't feel like saying 'the great and powerful Trixie' right now." "All right, you overgrown sardine!" Hercules called, "Now get out of here!"

But Cetus would not leave and tried to charge towards the boat once again. "Hold on!" Trixie said, preparing to use her magic. But in the end, nothing happened. "Look," said Hercules.

It turns out that Cetus has stopped in mid air.

"Good move," said Hercules. Then Cetus was thrown far away. "But I didn't do that," said Trixie. "What?" said Hercules.

Just then, both unicorns turned to face a large rock formation.

They could see the full moon and on top of the rock stood a mysterious figure. It looked like an earth pony. "You don't think?" said Trixie. "I don't know," said Hercules.

But before they could say more, the mysterious pony jumped far away before vanishing into thin air. "What on Equestria was that?" asked Hercules. "I don't know," answered Trixie. "Anyway," said Hercules, "Do you want to head on back?" "Sure," answered Trixie.

Hours later, Hercules and Trixie returned to the dockyards. "Sorry about the mad whale mishap," said Hercules, "I'd never intended for that to happen." "It's all right," said Trixie, "It was a fun trip."

"I'm glad you enjoyed it," said Hercules, "Hope we can do it again soon." "Thanks," said Trixie, "I must be off now." "Eh, maybe tomorrow," said Hercules, "You can go. It's too late now."

"You're right," smiled Trixie. "You can sleep with me in my home," said Hercules. "Ok," said Trixie.

So she did. "Maybe that wasn't exactly what I had in mind," Trixie thought to herself before falling asleep, "But oh well."
