An Angel from the Deep

  The two could feel the water getting warmer as they swam upward. Deep sea creatures were given skin to keep them warm in a freezing climate. Just before they reached the surface, they paused. "Imagine, a place with no water!" exclaimed Roxanna. "I wonder what it will be like?" "There's only one way to find out." said Squirt. They held on to each other as they burst through the surface. The air's tingling sensation felt odd, but amazing at the same time. "This is...awesome!" cried Roxanna with glee. "It's so beautiful up here." claimed Squirt. "Just look above us." The best friends gazed at the beautiful, crystal clear sky above them. "It's like a bunch of pearls were hung up there, with a huge, shiny one next to them." Roxanna pointed to the moon, shining a beautiful light. Just below it, they spotted something. "Let's go see what it is!" cried Roxanna. They swam toward the mysterious object. It got bigger as they approached it, until they immediately knew what it was. "It's a land ship!" exclaimed Squirt. "And where there's a ship, there are bound to be ponies!" claimed Roxanna.

  They swam closer to the ship. Roxanna put Squirt on top of her head, and leaped to a small ledge from a window at the foot of the ship. The two peaked inside and gasped. The ship was filled with many types of ponies! The two remained quiet, so not to be caught. They stared at them for a while until Roxanna spoke up. "I knew it! These ponies are nothing like Mordecai says they are. They're so amazing and beautiful." They looked around some more. "Hey, Roxanna, look at that one with the pink, poofy hair!" said Squirt, pointing to a pony on the boat. She glanced over to a hot pink pony with thick, curly, pink hair. "Weeee! Now this what I call a party!" she cried as she turned up the volume on a record player. She danced wildly along with a few other ponies. "That thing...it makes music!" said Roxanna, pointing to the record player. "Oh boy, she does look like fun!"

  After a few minutes, they saw another pony coming in with a cart full of bottles. "Anypony ready for some good ol' fashioned cider?" she asked. A large group of ponies came over and took a bottle of cider each. In just a matter of seconds, the cart was wiped clean of cider. She gasped at the rush. "Whoa nelly!" she cried. "I reckon I better make another batch." She went down some stairs into the base of the boat.

  The two looked over to see a little, yellow pony. The young mare was with a group of birds. They started chirping a beautiful melody. The music was pleasing to Roxanna's and Squirt's ears. Then, a white pony with a beautiful purple mane arrived next to her. "Fluttershy, darling, don't draw too much attention yet. Your braids are falling apart." The pony had a magic horn on its head, which produced a sparkly hue as it used magic to fix the pony's braids. "Thanks, Rarity." said the little pony quietly. "I hope I don't draw much attention, though. My hooves tend to get shaky at the thought of it."

  Suddenly, a flash of colorful light zoomed in from the sky. Another pony with wings appeared. "Don't worry about a thing, Fluttershy." she said. "Everyone will be watching me perform an awesome sonic rainboom to notice much." Fluttershy sighed a sigh of relief. From the other side of the boat, horns blared loudly. The sudden noise almost caused Roxanna to fall off the boat. On the balcony, a small, green and purple dragon stood in front of a microphone. Neither Roxanna nor Squirt have seen such a creature before. "I don't think he's a pony." said Roxanna.

  He cleared his throat. "Fillies and gentlecolts, may I present to you the princesses and prince of Equestria!" The horns blared once again as four princesses and a prince stepped out from behind a curtain. Roxanna and Squirt gaped at the beauty of the princesses and the handsome prince. He and his wife stepped forward. "Thanks you, everypony, for making this the best Hearts and Hooves Day Cadance and I have ever had." he said. Everypony cheered. "I would especially like to thank my sister, the newly dubbed Princess Twilight Sparkle, and her wonderful friends for surprising us with this party. This will be a night we will never forget." The prince and Cadance looked deeply into each other's eyes. The rainbow pony took off at lightning speed. Just as the prince and princess kissed,

BOOM!

  A burst of color lit the sky! Roxanna and Squirt were speechless at the beauty of the sudden outburst. The watched the color spread across the sky behind them, but that's when they noticed something. Bobbing in the water was a group of black, ghostly figures. Roxanna gasped. "Oh no, the evil sea spirits!"

These sea spirits caused much trouble to the ocean, especially to ponies that roamed on the sea. They were minions to an evil sea witch named Medulla. Before Roxanna could do anything, the spirits were already starting to stir up violent waves. The boat began to rock violently among the sea. Roxanna held on tight while Squirt clung to the top of her head. She could see the panic of the ponies aboard. Sailors climbed up the masts to trim the sails. Suddenly, a flash of lightning struck from the sky and hit the ship's mast. An orange flame immediately flourished. Pegasi were seen carrying the sailors to safety before the mast collapsed. "The Orange Light!" cried Roxanna in fright. "It's a bitter enemy to the land, and it brings destruction to whatever it may touch."

The other ponies have started to set up a life raft for themselves. She saw the ponies from before about to step on when...

"HEEEEELP!"

  She turned around in horror when she saw the little dragon with his tail stuck under the fallen mast. The purple pony princess rushed to his aid. She was exhausted from trying to help the other ponies. Try as she might, her magic was too weak to free him. "Girls, over here. Quickly!" The five others climbed onto the blazing ship. Each of them lined up against the mast and pushed with all their might. In a short matter of time, the dragon was free. They raced towards the raft as the ship began to crumble and snap beneath them. Right when they got to the edge of the boat, the floor beneath them began to crack rapidly. At the last second, the dragon was thrown overboard onto the raft, and the others fell through the floor.

   Screams of terror filled the air as the ponies disappeared into the sinking ship. Roxanna had to do something, for she didn't want this to be the fate of the ponies. She smashed the glass of a porthole and swam through with Squirt. She flopped onto the flooded floor behind some barrels. "Is everypony alright?" asked the purple one. "Gah, I think I sprained my wing." cried the cyan pegasus. "Umm...girls?" whispered the shy, yellow pegasus. "I think we may have a..." Nopony seemed to hear her. "Don't worry, we'll find a way out." said the princess. "But...but..." The yellow pegasus was shaking in fear. "I think I read a book on how to..."

  "LOOK!" she eventually screamed horrified. The others finally heard her and looked the direction she was pointing. A string from a giant crate of fireworks was set ablaze! The girls could do nothing more than duck for cover.

BOOOOM!

  The fireworks were set off and the ship exploded from the eruption. The ship sank into the deep abyss.
