The next day, me and most of the defenders were packed up and ready for our trip. The defenders coming with me were Ellagant Glare, Tangerine Twist, Clumsy Bumzy, Trueheart, Brainiac, Seashell, Glory, Peach Fizz, Amber Lake, Disgusted Lex, Cloudy Carla, Present Prize, Nighttime Nathan, Sharpy Gem, Daytime Darwin, Needle Stitch, Streamer Smooth, Bubble Burst, Color Carol, Soccer Score, Scarlet Tomato, Pineapple Tibbet, Lemonlime, Sapphire Serum, Hefty Haman, Lucky Clover, Melody Aria, Joydan Gallop, Fearful Moe, Astro Alex, Grouchy Storm, Radish Ryan, and Bumble Barry. After loading up our seats, buckled up and we were off to Mt. Aris.

20 minutes later, we were still soaring through the skies in our RVs. While we were getting close, some ponies were talking about what's gonna happen when they get there.

"I don't know if I'd like being a Hippogriff. Part bird, part pony..." said Seashell.

"What about seaponies?" Peach Rizz asked. "Part fish, part pony; they're the most beautiful creatures in the world. They're fast swimmers like dolphins, they can breathe underwater like all sea creatures, not to mention the weightlessness."

"I hope the Hippogriffs are neat." said Trueheart.

"They are. Special told me about them." said Brainiac. "A long, long time ago, the Hippogriffs all once lived happily on Mt. Aris. But when an evildoer called the Storm King invaded, they used a magic pearl, which belonged to their former ruler Queen Novo, and turned into seaponies and escape to the underwater kingdom of Seaquestria. Then in the battle of Canterlot, when Princess Twilight Sparkle defeated the Storm King, the seaponies came out of hiding and went back up to Mt. Aris."

"That sounds great." said Seashell.

And then all of the sudden, I've spotted our stop. So, I took out the walkie-talkie to tell all the defenders.

"Attention all defenders, this is your captain speaking." I say. "We're coming up on Mt. Aris."

Everypony looked out the windows and saw Mt. Aris straight ahead. Lucky for us, there was a runway for any aircraft. Me and the other pilot defenders lined up our RVs and landed smoothly. Then, we found parking spots for us. We grabbed our bags and I gave everypony a few words before we continue.

"Okay, everypony, we made it to Mt. Aris." I say. "We got to be friendly around the Hippogriffs and seaponies, we'd never been friends with them in hundreds of years."

Before I could finish up, a female Hippogriff approached us. Her fur and wings were light magentaish gray, her main and tail were light cornflower blue and light cornflower bluish gray streaks. It was none other than the same Hippogriff/seapony who attend Twilight's School of Friendship, by the name of Silverstream.

"Hello ponies." Silverstream said. "Welcome to Mt. Aris. I'm Silverstream, Queen Skystar's cousin."

"Hello, Miss Silverstream." I say. "I've heard of you, you were the very first Hippogriff/seapony who attended Princess Twilight Sparkle's School of Friendship."

"Yes I am." Silverstream replied. "It's been years when I first lived in Equestria."

"You look amazing." said Ellagant Glare.

"Thank you. But anyway, Queen Skystar asked me to meet you all here and bring you to see her and her daughter."

"Cool, we definitely need a guide of Mt. Aris." I say.

"Come on, everypony, let get going."

Silverstream was being our tour guide, we began to follow her around Mt. Aris until we meet the queen and princess.

We were walking near the beach, when we see a married couple of Hippogriffs there. They both jumped and then magic swirled around them, turning into seaponies and diving underwater.

"Wow, that is so cool." said Radish Ryan. "These two Hippogriffs turned into seaponies."

"How do they do that?" Color Carol asked.

"Well, after the Storm King's defeat, the seaponies didn't have anymore. So some of them changed back into Hippogriffs and went to Mt. Aris, while the rest got used to living underwater and stayed in Seaquestria. Whenever both creatures want to go back and forth, they used a tiny piece of my Aunt Novo's magic pearl to transform."

"Cool." we all said, observing Silverstream's pearl fragment.

"Come on, everypony, let's go up the mountain and explore Hippogriffia."

There was a lot of stairs to get up there, but we had to meet the queen.

After walking up the stairs for 18 minutes, we've finally reached the top. We entered through the gateway and looked around the village. Everything in Hippogriffia is astonishing, all the Hippogriffs were walking and talking, and enjoying the sunny waether.

"Wow." I say. "This village is great! Last time Twilight and her friends visit, it was a ghost town."

"Yeah, my Aunt Novo thought it would be best to return Hippogriffia to its former glory." Silverstream told me.

"Well, the Hippogriffs look friendly." said Soccer Score.

Silverstream was leading us to the palace, where we should meet the queen, when Cloudy Carla heard a beautiful sound.

"Silverstream, what's that wonderful sound?" Cloudy asked.

"Oh, those are the Harmonizing Heights." Silverstream answered.

Cloudy speeds up towards the entrance, and when she saw the Harmonizing Heights, she enjoyed the beauty of it. There were lots of trees with birds, smooth streams, and waterfalls.

"WHOO-HOO!! YEAH!! I LOVE THIS!!!" Cloudy cheered with joy.

We caught up with Cloudy being happy.

"This is really the best place ever! You are so lucky." Cloudy said to Silverstream.

"This place is prefect for when we go on our own camping trips." I say.

"Sure is fun for camping." said Silverstream. "But now, let's walk to the castle.

We listened and continued following Silverstream towards the palace.

We were inside the castle hallway, entering the throne room. Once we were ready, the Hippogriff guards played their fanfare. And then, a spotlight was turned on. When we looked up, Queen Skystar and Princess Angel Adella were making a grand entrance. Skystar didn't age because she was immortal like her mother. She was wearing her mother's crown and red necklace around her neck with a mini pearl that will let her transform back and forth whenever she needs to. And for Angel Adella, she was all-grown up. She was wearing a lovely tiara on her head like any princess should, and a primrose colored necklace around her neck with a magic pearl as well. And of course, her mane was so long and so beautiful, since she'd grown it so big and long, she got herself a perfect mane style with a little help from some animal friends.

When Queen Skystar was looking at us, she became so excited to see ponies again.

"Greetings little ponies." Skystar said. "Welcome to Mt. Aris. I'm Queen Skystar. And, this is my beautiful daughter, Princess Angel Adella."

"Hello, ponies." Angel said.

"Please to meet you, your royalnesses." I say. "I'm Special Hoof. leader of the Great Defenders of Friendship, Equestria's best team of heroes."

As I stepped up in front of the queen and princess, Skystar picked me up and hugged me.

"First thing you go to know about me: I'm a hugger." Skystar said while she was still hugging me.

After she puts me down, she began to talk more.

"You've already met my cousin, Silverstream. Are you ponies enjoying Mt. Aris?"

"We sure are." Ellagant Glare answered.

"Oh good."

"Well, you foals are just in time." said Angel. "We're having the ball set for tomorrow, it'll be a blast for you. Won't that be fun?"

"Indeed." said Disgusted Lex.

"I was hoping we'd be together." said Skystar. "Since that evil alicorn appeared, you ponies went your own way, and we Hippogriffs and seaponies never heard from you again."

"Until you wrote us back." said Daytime Darwin.

"Indeed. Now, that you're here, we can also show you the wonders of our next kingdom, Seaquestria."

"That would be awesome." said Peach Fizz.

"Yeah but, how exactly are we gonna be able to be underwater for as long as we need to be." Soccer Score asked.

"Don't worry, we got the solution." said Angel.

The queen and princess began to lead us to the beach at the bottom of the mountain.

Author's Note

Here's what you need to know:
In the Friendship is Magic comics issues 75-78, Queen Novo was in ancient times like Princesses Celestia and Luna, meaning she was immortal. Skystar and Silverstream were part of her family, so they should be immortal too.
