Shark Attack In Canterlot Bay

July 1st.

The Next Morning. 8:00 AM.

It’s the very next morning. You just got ready since you’re planning on heading to Applejack’s as soon as she wakes up. You’re sitting in the living room, watching tv as you’re trying to see what’s on.

“Ugh! There’s nothing on!” You groan in annoyment as you turn off the tv. It hasn’t been long as you’re just sitting on the couch, being bored. When you’re getting a call.

“Hello?” You answered. When you realized it’s Twilight.

“Oh, sorry. I didn’t wake you up, did I?” She asked through the phone.

“Nah, I’ve been up for an hour actually.” You said taking a sip of your soda.

“Oh, okay. Anyways, I got the video working.”

“What video?”

“The video from the camera you found on the beach yesterday?” Twilight explains. Your eyes go wide as you heard that. “The camera doesn’t work anymore. It suffered so much water damage. But, the tapes working. You gotta come see this.”

“You’re kidding! I’ll be right over!” You said as you and Twilight both hanged up as you’re now on your way to Twilight’s house.

***

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

You knocked on the door three times as you’re waiting on Twilight’s front door. She opens the door as she greets you.

“Hey, you’re here a little early.” She says as she chuckles.

“Heh, yeah. I’m like that sometimes.” You chuckled in your response.

“Heheh, alright. Anyways, you really need to come look at this. I’ve never seen anything like it.” Twilight says as she let you in.

You follow her upstairs to her room. You suddenly noticed that both Applejack and Rainbow Dash are here too.

“Oh howdy, sugarcube.” Applejack greets you.

“Hey, what’s up?” You said as you took a seat.

“Just watching this video. You’ll be very surprised once you see it.” Rainbow Dash says as Twilight begins the tape on her computer.

The video suddenly starts playing as you noticed there’s four people climbing on board a boat. Two males and two females. As the tape continues playing your jaw slowly dropps as you realize something.

“Hey, that’s the boat from yesterday’s news.” You claim in disbelief of what you see.

“I know, right? Pretty shocking, huh?” Twilight says as you all stare back at the monitor.

Thirty minutes have passed in the video as they’re now heading into the bay. It’s still broad daylight as they’re all out having a good time.

Another few minutes later. They stopped as they get their fishing gear set up.

“Huh. Must be fishers.” You mumbled to yourself as you noticed from the corner of your eye.

Rainbow Dash slowly scoots to you. Each time you look at her, she stops and her eyes focus on the screen. Until she’s right next to you.

You didn’t care anymore as you groaned loudly in your mind.

‘God dammit! Why?!?’ You think to yourself as your eyes focus back on the screen.

You have noticed those four people on the boat are just taking selfies, and having a good time. When they shut off the camera for a second. Until…

“Okay, so… Fishhunter just caught something! We’re about to go find out!” One of the girls said excitedly through the camera.

You hear the other female’s voice as well in the background, “I’m so excited to see what he caught!”

“Me too!”

Said the two girls as they approached him. He’s groaning as he’s trying his best to reel in the big fish he must’ve caught.

“Goddamn, this is a big one!” He groans as Fishhunter’s trying to reel in the big, heavy fish in the video.

“Talltale, help me out!” Fishhunter said as the other guy helps him trying to pull the line.

“Hold on now, I got a very big fish here!” Fishhunter shouts through the video.

“I don’t think so.” You mumbled as you’re a bit nervous on what it is.

Twilight pauses the video and she speaks.

“Okay, him reeling it in takes about two hours. So, I’m gonna speed it up so you won’t get bored.” She demonstrates.

“Alright. Thanks for that.” You said as Twilight speeds up the video sixteen times. It’s now dark in the video as she hits play again.

It wasn’t long when after she hits play. Fishhunter’s line had broke and causing him to fall on the floor.

“GOD DAMMIT! I ALMOST HAD IT!!” You hear him yell in the video.

“Well shit.” Talltale said as everyone else is disappointed that the fish got away.

All of a sudden. A very loud bang was heard, and it came from the boat. Everyone freezes for a second. You did too as soon as you heard it. Your heart starts pounding.

“Shh, shh.” Fishhunter says. “You hear that?”

“What is that?” Said one of the girls in the video.

Suddenly…

*BANG*

One very loud bang made you jump back. One of the girls lets go of the camera and falls to the floor as water begins splashing all over the boat. They start screaming and panicking as the boat starts to sink.

Your eyes go wide at the sight in front of you of what’s going on. Or what happened.

Suddenly, the camera starts glitching out, and shuts off. Probably from the water damage it suffered over night.

“Oh my god.” You mumbled as Twilight turned the lights back on.

“Yeah. It scared us too.” She said as you noticed Rainbow’s holding you close. Is she scared?

“Uh… You okay, Dash?” You asked her.

“Oh, yeah. Sorry. I uh…” She said as she blushes and looks away. You didn’t even both saying anything.

“Also, check this out.” Applejack says as she turns on the video before the boat was rammed by something. “If you noticed… I don’t see no whale’s tale in the shot. Do you?” Applejack asks you all as the three of you looked at the monitor. You also noticed… Everyone’s at the stern of the boat.

“True. Could it come from underneath?” You ask.

“Good point.” Applejack explains.

“I got an idea.” Twilight says as she opens something up on her computer. “Since it’s hard to hear what they’re saying. You can see that they have a light on to see better outside when it’s dark. So… This is an audio mixer. It allows me to mix out the audio to hear what people are saying. Give me a minute to concentrate.” Twilight says as she puts on some headphones and gets to it. “Oh, one more thing. There’s some soda in the fridge downstairs in case you guys need any.”

“Thanks Twilight.” You said as you went downstairs to get one. Rainbow Dash and Applejack follows you as you all let Twilight concentrate.

“Damn, that was really something.” You said as you got yourself a coke. Dash and Aj grab themselves a coke as well.

“Yeah. I never knew somethin’ like that would scare me that good.” Applejack said as she opens her can and takes a sip.

“Yeah. At least… Someone was there to protect me.” Rainbow Dash said as she got closer to you.

“Okay, I’m not sure what’s gotten into you, Dash.” You chuckled as you just stood still. “Seriously though, what was that?”

“We have no idea. There’s no way it could be a whale. Whales don’t crash boats, do they?” Applejack asks.

“And isn’t it rare for a whale to swim in Canterlot bay?” Rainbow Dash asks.

“I don’t think so. I use to see dolphins all the time when I’m boat riding with my dad. A whale? Well, it actually depends on how big it is. I’ve only seen one or two so far.”

“What kind were they?” Applejack asked.

“A sperm whale, and a beluga whale.” Was your response.

“Hey guys! You should come and take a listen to this!” You hear Twilight calling from the floor above.

You all ran upstairs as you see Twilight with a frightened look on her face.

“What is it, Twi?” Applejack asks as she approaches Twilight. She hands Applejack the headphones.

“Take a listen. You’re gonna be surprised.” Twilight mumbled as Applejack takes her hat off for a second, putting on the headphones she waits for Twilight to start playing the audio from the video.

Knowing you can’t hear a thing, you and Rainbow Dash take a seat as you look at Applejack as she listens to the audio. It wasn’t long when her face turns into fright. She quickly takes off the headphones as she’s shaking down to the bone.

“What is it?” Rainbow Dash asks as Applejack hands her the headphones.

Rainbow Dash also takes a listen. Her face becomes frightened as well. Now… It’s your turn to take a listen.

“I got a bad feeling about this.” You said as you took the headphones from Rainbow Dash.

As you put them on, you nod your head to Twilight. Giving her a cue to hit play. Twilight hits play as you can hear the people screaming and panicking. But, what you just heard… Scared you for life.

“OH MY GOD, SHARK!”

As you heard one of the girls in the audio say that. Your eyes go wide and you quickly take off the headphones and threw them back on Twilight’s desk.

You feel so frightened on what you heard. It makes you think of what happened back in that laboratory last month.

“Holy shit.” You mumbled.

“Yeah, it scared me half to death too.” Twilight responds as she takes out the tape.

“So… It was a shark that attacked that boat?” Rainbow Dash asked as you and Applejack looked at each other in fright.

“I believe so. But, that boat’s huge. You think a great white can take down a boat that size? I mean, a full grown great white can take days, if not weeks to take down a boat that size.” Twilight said as she looked at the video.

You and Applejack looked at each other. You’re just shocked that something like this could happen again. Except you think it’s too soon for something like this to happen.

“I think we should see what happened to that boat.” Twilight says which grabs your attention along with Applejack’s.

“Uh… Say what?” You said to Twilight.

“That’s right. If a shark took down a boat this size, then we’re on to something big. It could be a great white by my guest. But, I’m just saying. If we wanna know what type of shark did this. We have to look at the boat that it sunk.”

“Oh my god.” Was only your response.

“And how are you gonna get a sub? It’s like two thousand feet to the bottom of the bay.” Applejack reminds Twilight.

“True. But, I know somebody who can loan us a sub. Shining Armor and Cadence knows who the guy is. The sooner we go there, the sooner we can look at what happened.” Twilight says as she gets up out of her seat. “We leave at noon. Be prepared to get something for your stomach after lunch if you’re sea sick.”

Twilight and Rainbow Dash walk out the door. Leaving you and Applejack behind in the room.

“I can’t do this.” You said as you feel very scared. “Why do we have to do this? It was just a fucking shark attacking a boat.”

“I dunno.” Applejack replies. “I hate to go back in the water too after what you and I went through. But, you know how Twi can be when it comes to stuff like this. It’s almost like Pinkie Pie, except it could be about us not going to where she invites us.” Applejack says as she gets up from her seat.

“I got a bad feeling about this.” You said as you got up and follow them.
