YOU PONIES ARE LUCKY IDIOTS!

Queen Novo sat in her throne, brooding like she always did. Grabbing a fin, she rang her bell and a servant swam up to her.

"Servant, bring me some oats," Queen Novo commanded.

"I can't," the servant said reluctantly.

"Why not?"

"Well," the servant said, "you flipped your fin to Celestia, said you would remain underwater forever, cut us off from Equestria, and executed the hippogriff whose imported the oats".

"Oh yeah," Queen Novo said, rubbing her head like she forgot the groceries. "I forgot all about that."

"Also, our economy has well, um, collapsed because we switched from interconnected trade to ideological autarky," the servant said sheepishly. "The whole 'move our civilization under water thing' really, um, disrupted things. "

"Alright," Queen Novo said tiredly as she leaned back into her, "put it on my to do pile." The servant meekly swam away. Just when she was about to settle back into her throne, her hyperactive daughter swam up to her.

"Mom," Princess Skystar said excitedly, "you'll never guess who came to visit?"

"Let me guess," Queen Novo said tiredly, "another fish."

"Yes, only it is a big metal fish with weird glowing square eyes," Princess Skystar said with a goofy smile. Queen Novo cocked her head.

"Have you been huffing near the volcanic vents?" Novo asked her daughter triedly.

"Yes. But what does that have to do with the big metal fish I saw?" Princess Skystar said. "Anyways, he said he wanted the pearl."

"Tell him he can kiss my fin," Queen Novo said.

"OK!" Princess Skystar said cheerfully. She swam away from Novo, to her relief.

"Why did I drop her on her head," Queen Novo said with regret. Novo's rest was shorted lived when Princess Skystar returned.

"Mom, the fish said if you don't give him your pearl, he's gonna bring a reign of friendship down upon this place that you won't forget," Skystar said innocently. Novo narrowed her eyes in annoyance.

"Show me," Queen Novo said with some frustration.

After some fast past swimming, the mother-daughter pair saw some massive metal thing floating outside her home. Novo's eyes widened in amazement at the sheer size of the object. In the dark, it looked like some oddly shaped whale. But it was quickly replaced with anger as she remembered what it had demanded of her.

"See mom I was-,"

"Skystar go do your homework," Novo said abruptly. "I shall deal with this being...myself."

"Mom, I'm illiterate," Skystar complained. Novo snarled, driving Skystar to fearfully swim away.

"Creature," Queen Novo bellowed, "by what right do you have to take my pearl?" Suddenly a massive pale light erupted from the creature. Once she rubbed her eyes out, she saw it was no creature.

It was some strange underwater boat made of a dark metal with the phrase "SS Love and Tolerate" written in bold pink letters. The glowing square eyes were just windows, that were clear yet did not reveal the interior.

"Queen Novo," a male voice said, "this is Captain Shining Armor of the Royal Guard. We desire a friendship treaty. All we want in exchange is your pearl."

"Never," Queen Novo said. With a whistle, her army was summoned. "We shall defend this land from your imperial avarice."

"Who says I want to fight?" Shining Armor said in a seemingly kind tone. "I just want to use a little persuasion and reason." Suddenly a rocket fired from the underwater boat. In an instant, the palace was destroyed.

"There's persuasion," Shining Armor said. He fired another rocket, obliterating the armory. "And there's reason." Novo looked at the ruins of her kingdom while holding her breath. She then let out a nervous laughter.

"So would you like the stone gift-wrapped?", the seapony queen asked with forced grin.

"See Queen Novo," Shining Armor said happily. "Isn't friendship wonderful?" Queen Novo continued to chuckle fearfully.

"Queen Novo, your daughter was killed in the second explosion," one of her servants said in a mournful tone.

"Eh," Queen Novo said indifferently with a shrug, "I can always get another one."
