We were being dragged in the bubbles, Shelby was taking us into her evil cave.

"Finally!" said Shelby. "I have Queen Skystar's precious little princess."

"So you're going to use me to get rid of my mother?" Angel asked.

"No. I'm going to drain your magic out of you. But, I should have all of the magic from everypony. And with it, I will rule Mt. Aris, Sequestria and the whole ocean!"

"You may never take things that aren't yours." I say.

"Everyone saids that, but I always do. Angler fish, put each bubble into my magic extractor one by one!"

The angler fish placed the first bubble of my friends into the magic extractor, then pressed the button. Then, the extractor started to drain the magic of my friends, causing their color to drain too. Before Angel, Shelby began to have a word with her.

"Now Princess, it is time to talk. I've waited all this time to have everything. Ever since your grandmother had been forcing us to Seaquestria, she kicked me out for being a rampage seapony."

"Well, it's over." said Angel. "My mother and her cousin were more trusting than my grandmother. They trust every creature after the Storm King's defeat. As long as you change your ways, you are welcome to join us."

"I'm sorry. But, I can't, so I must be queen. Not you."

After Shelby drained the magic out of me, my friends, Flounder, Zion, Pearl, Sheldon, it was Angel's turn. When Angel's bubble was placed , an angler fish pressed the button to turn on the extractor, Angel's magic began to drain so fast, she was grunting in pain. After her magic was gone, she turned grey all over her body and hair.

"Alright, that's everypony." said an anglerfish.

"Escort the seaponies to the dungeon." Shelby ordered her minions.

The angler fish dragged all of us to the slammer as Shelby's prisonors. Shelby has our magic, and now she was going to use it to rule over the entire ocean.

The angler fish threw us into a big dungeon and popped the bubbles, then locked us up. We were all completely grey and without magic, and we were all trapped in the slammer. It was a little dark inside and there's no other way out.

Me and the other defenders always know we never give up, so we began to think of a solution.

"Well everypony, we are stuck inside this dungeon, but I'm sure we'll work this out. Let's just think of what to do." I say.

We began to think what to do. But for Princess Angel Adella, she was sad because she felt she's fail her kingdom and family, and she began to cry. We heard her crying and started to give support.

"Angel?" Ellagant Glare asked.

"Everypony, I'm afraid this is completely hopeless." said Angel. "I thought I could be better as the new queen, but I guess I was wrong. I wanted to be like my mom, by going on quests, take care of our kingdom, and have a husband of my own. But now look at me, I'm all grey and without magic. I'm stuck in this place for good. How can I be a good leader, if I never fix my mistakes? I've let everyone down, and I don't know what to do."

She was laying on the ocean floor, crying with her arms wrapped on her face. We felt sad for Angel, she was so downhearted that she feels like a failure.

We thought we were hopeless, but then all of the sudden, Flounder Finn swam up and began to do something that would set things right. He laid in front of his girlfriend and touched her fin. When Angel looked up, she was feeling a little warmth.

"Angel, my love, you can't give up." said Flounder. "I know this is hopeless, but there's always another way. Look, ever since I've first met you at school and you invited me to your birthday ball, I started to have a thing for you. Years later, we became really, really, really, close to each other. The reason I love you is because you are true to yourself. The Angel I love would never stop caring for her close ones. She showed love to all the critters and fish. Even in the darkest times, you'd never loose hope. You can still be you."

"That's why you love me?" Angel asked.

"Yes, my love." Flounder answered.

Angel was moved by her boyfriend's words, her heart began to mend. Flounder started to sing to his girlfriend. He told her not to be discouraged as he realized it was hard to take courage in a world full of people. After he sang a verse, Angel and Flounder's hearts started to glow bright. And so do the hearts of me and the other foals.

Flounder took Angel's fins and raised her up. He also told her that he will always be there no matter what. And then suddenly, as Angel was becoming happy, her colors are starting to return, starting from her chest to the rest of her body. Then, she began to sing with her boyfriend and he was starting to get his color back too. They started to dance and then, colors began to come to us, too. After the dance, Angel and Flounder started to hug each other romantically, we even hugged our close friends after song.

SongTrue Colors
Sung by: Flounder Finn and Angel Adella

Flounder:
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged, oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
The darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

Show me a smile then
Don't be unhappy
Can't remember when
I last saw you laughing
This world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
Just call me up
'Cause I will always be there

And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you

Angel:
So don't be afraid

Angel and Flounder:
To let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
I see you true colors
Shining through (true colors)
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors (true colors)
Are beautiful

Flounder:
Like a rainbow

Angel:
Oh oh oh oh oh like a rainbow

Flounder:
Ooh can't remember when

Angel and Flounder:
I last saw you laughing
Ooh oh oh oh

Angel:
This world makes you crazy

Angel and Flounder:
And you've taken all you can bear
Just call me up
'Cause I will always be there

And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid (don't be afraid)
To let them show your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow
Oh oh oh oh oh like a rainbow
Mm mm mm mm mmm
Mmm mmm
