Foals Of Harmony

Chapter 14: 20,000 Foals Under The Sea

Previous Chapter

Once the spell had been cast, I found myself floating in a bubble. It was rather hard for me to keep my balance, but I managed to balance myself relatively quickly. Once I was done, I let out a few giggles, which had been muffled to Night Mist for unknown reasons.

As he swam back up, I simply floated up to the surface with my head held high, letting out giggles nonstop. When the both of us returned to the Mane 6, Celestia and Luna, my bubble popped and we were back to swimming once again.

"How did yoo do dat?" he asks me, once I finally begin to return to my swimming posture. He shows a great deal of both intrigue and worry. The intrigue comes from the fact that he just saw a foal encase himself in a bubble after casting a spell on itself. The worry came from the fact that I was capable of using magic in my current state.

"Hehe, aww unicown foaws can do dat, Nighty," I said, telling him in brief how I was able to pull such a trick like that off. "I dun know why, but I tink dewe's something wid unicown foaws dat Mama Wuna and Mama Cewestia isn't bothewing ta teww me..."

"Why do yoo tink dat is, Shad?" he asks me, curious to know what I meant by my previous statement. He's obviously oblivious to the fact I could do so much more now that I'd rediscovered magic. He was unaware that I had the potential to become unstoppable with training.

"I dun weawwy know, ta be honest..." I say. Clearly, I was unaware with how powerful we unicorns could become. Sure, Pumpkin Cake might be one special foal, but I was willing to bet against that and say that all foals were like that. With that running through my mind, I lit up my horn once more, but was stopped when I was suddenly hit with a splash of water that came from one of the other foals.

"Come on, Shad! Yoo need ta stop tinking about dose tings and pway wid us instead!" Rainbow Dash giggled, getting me with another splash of water. Sure, she was wearing special inflatable armbands, but Rainbow Dash still knew how to splash me. She let out another giggle when she saw me shaking some of the water out of my mane.

"Oh, you'we on, Dashie!" I said back, giving her another splash of my own. It was a rather moderate wave that got pretty much all of Rainbow Dash's face and mane. I launched another small wave at her as I swam away from her. I could see that she immediately gave chase, so I decided to provoke her some more. "Catch me if yoo can!"

The next few moments I spent was with Rainbow Dash and the Mane 6. We were swimming around the pool, splashing each other with big smiles on our faces. It seemed like our foalish fun had no end in sight.

Eventually, Night Mist decided get in on the fun as well. He swam after us with a little giggle coming out of his throat as he pursued the rest of the foals in the pool. He'd finally decided to give up trying to complicate his mind with thought. Since he was now a foal, he decided that his new self should be a fun one, rather than an analyctical one.

The eight of us found pleasure on our little games. We swam majestically, giggled when we splashed each other, and even tried to see who could hold their breath underwater for the longest. Needless to say, I won repeatedly at the last game. Magic is such a wonderful thing, isn't it?

"Hehe, you'we good at dis game, Dashie!" I said, complimenting her skill after she'd tagged me once more. Despite the extra armbands keeping her afloat, Rainbow Dash was a surprisingly good swimmer, even for a foal.

"Tanks, Shad!" she said back, letting out a little smile as she nimbly evaded another tag from one of the other foals.

Eventually, we all swam into each other without noticing and ended up under the water. We were only under for a brief period of time (even briefer for the Mane 6 because of their armbands) but we actually enjoyed such a feeling like that. Eventually, we resurfaced, giggling like schoolgirls.

"Are we having fun, little ones?" Luna swam up to the eight of us, seeing our little giggling fits reach her eyes and ears.

"Oh, Mama Wuna, we'we having wots of fun!" Pinkie said, beaming with joy at this moment in time. She'd truly seen fun in her past as a full-grown mare, but now that she was a foal, she found anything that excited her to be the best thing she'd ever done.

"Hehe, de watew's fun ta pway in!" I said, with more energy than I meant to. I did enjoy water, but not that much when I was still human. It seemed like my foalish instincts were starting to overtake my human mind at this moment in time.

"Is it now, Shadowmane?" Celestia asked, giving a little bit of an interested look as she smiled at the eight of us. She lit up a horn and readied a powerful spell for the eight of us to behold. "Well then, let's have a little adventure in this water!"

Within seconds, all ten of us were taken under the water with a powerful spell. The Mane 6 quickly lost their armbands and only had their hooves to rely on as we were descending into the water. It felt like we were going to drown, but then we got bubbles put around all of our muzzles. To be more descriptive, they completely covered our mouths and allowed us to breathe as we descended deeper and deeper into what no longer seemed like the royal pool, and more like the ocean itself...

"Hehe, dis is fun!" Rarity giggled as the ten of us descended deeper and deeper into the water, the colour getting darker and darker as we dropped down deeper and deeper into the water.

"Whewe awe we even going?" Fluttershy asked as we neared the bottom of the newfound ocean we were falling down through. Even though our muzzles were covered by bubbles, we were still able to get our voices across to each other, albeit them sounding a bit garbled.

"I dun know, Fwuttewshy, but I tink we'we gonna have wots of fun when we awwive!" I said, as the ten of us neared the ocean floor. I looked as I could still see the surface of the ocean, but it seemed like it was now at least a mile away from the original position.

Before we could all arrive at the ocean's floor, we saw a massive flash of light appear as we descended. As we all turned to face the light, we were consumed in its' bright glow...


Once the light had finished, we appeared at what looked like a beautiful coral reef. There were sea plants draping the sea cliffs for as far as our foalish eyes could see. There were also a large number of schools of fish swarming the seas. All with beautiful colours and intricate designs.

As we finally finished looking around, we saw that we were now floating in the water with nothing more than our diapered bodies. We tried swimming upwards, downwards, forwards, and all the other ways so that we were adjusted to swimming underwater completely. Once this was all done, we let out little giggles of accomplishment.

"But sewiouswy, whewe awe we?" I said, turning to Night Mist once we were all confident in swimming on our own.

"It wooks wike Cewestia and Wuna took us to da bottom of da sea..." Night Mist said, examining the wonderful world around the eight of us. "Dat's a pwetty odd ting fow dem ta do ta us..."

"Who cawes, Nighty? Dis is fun!" Rainbow Dash nimbly performed a roll maneuver, her bubble continuing to follow her muzzle for all the time she did so. Since her face wasn't drenched in water, Rainbow Dash didn't feel any water go up her nose as she rolled.

"She's wight, Nighty..." Fluttershy said, petting many of the sea animals with her tender hooves. Even though most undersea animals were timid and didn't like being touched by other life forms, they were rather friendly towards Fluttershy and the other foals of the Mane 6.

"Weww, I'm swimming undew da sea wid seven odew tawking foaws in my own fanfic dat Discowd is wwiting," I said, in a rather obvious tone of voice. "If dat's not weiwd, den I dun know wat is..."

The eight of us began flipping our hooves to get some momentum in our movements. We got some slight distance from our initial position, and immediately swam down farther and farther to the bottom of the ocean. We saw as the water did turn darker and darker the further we went, but we were too wrapped up in foal talk and adventure to even be bothered by this.

When we eventually landed at the sea floor, we felt the soft sand touching our hooves as we walked across it. It was a rather wonderful feeling, walking at the bottom of a deep ocean, knowing that you were able to breath perfectly like anything that inhabited these waters. It made us all smile and let out looks and noises of awe as we saw the rest of the ocean world around us.

"I'm bowed. Wet's pway hide-and-seek!" Rainbow Dash said, immediately getting the group of foals together after a few minutes of sea-walking.

"Dat sounds wathew intewesing, Dashie..." I said, seeing that this ocean was vast enough to make the game as interesting as it could possibly be. If the foals decided to use the whole ocean, then this would be the most intense game of hide-and-seek ever...

"Otay den, I'ww stawt counting. Yoo girws aww go and hide." Rainbow Dash immediately covered up her eyes with her hooves and began to count downwards. "One... Two... Thwee..."

Even though her voice was garbled thanks to the bubble on her muzzle, we could still hear Rainbow Dash's voice quite clearly, or at least, parts of it. As she neared ten, we all started taking positions hiding in seaweed bushes and behind walls of coral. The rest of the Mane 6 hid quite quickly, leaving only me and Night Mist without spots to hide.

Eventually, we found a nice little cave just above Rainbow Dash. We swam right past her and positioned ourselves in the cave, making sure that there wasn't any animals inside the cave that would be rather displeased with our trespasses. When the cave was secure, we made cute little grunts as we tried to shuffle into the darker parts of the cave.

"Eight... Nine... Ten!" Rainbow Dash lowered her hooves and saw that all of her friends had gone into hiding once again. "Weady ow not, hewe I come!"

Despite being a foal, Rainbow Dash still moved at a rather regular pace under the water. She even tried using her wings to propel herself, but they were too small to do anything at this point in time. With her wings no longer an option, Rainbow Dash resorted to just using her hooves to move herself.

"Awe yoo suwe dat Dashie won't find us hewe, Shad?" Night Mist asked me as we kept fidgeting in the cave. Even though we were good friends now, he and I were still struggling to find a comfortable position whilst we were squished together in our little cave.

"I'm cewtain, Nighty..." I whispered, making sure not to alert Rainbow Dash to our hiding spot and ruin the game for her. "And besides, now we have a chance ta catch up on ouw wittwe discussions..."

"Wat do yoo mean by dat?" he asked me, unsure what I was possibly talking about. Even though we were like little brothers, we still didn't know everything about each other.

"Weww, I was tinking about youw status on FIMFiction..." I said, whispering even quieter so that Discord wouldn't have heard us. "Yoo haven't updated any of youw stowies in ages..."

"Sowwy about dat. I've got a wot of tings on my mind wight now..." he apologized, showing puppy-dog eyes to me. He was rather inactive in terms of updating his fics, so he wanted to make sure that I was at ease with what he was going through now.

"Wike wat?" I asked.

"Stuff wike da navy. Yoo know, da bowing waw tings..." he said, telling me that he was part of a military in his human life. This part was a part I already knew, since he'd told me in advance.

"Otay, dat pawt I awweady know..." I deadpanned, feeling rather unamused that he'd hidden the reason by telling me something that I already knew. "Wat ewse keeps eating up aww of youw time so dat yoo just keep doing Bwog Posts?"

"Stuff wid my weguwaw famiwy. Yoo know, tings dat wequiwe my attention..." he said, trying to make me feel at ease with myself once again.

"Aww... Dat's sad, Nighty..." I said, feeling rather sorry for such a talented writer such as Night Mist. I never knew that he had such important matters to attend to with back in his regular life. "But if I couwd make a few wequests, I'd wike ta see yoo continue wid Sistews of Magic, and My Wittwe Foaws: Fwiendship is Padded..."

"Hopefuwwy, I'ww update one of dose stowies when I'm onwine da next time," he said, keeping up his normal mindset whilst also shuffling around in the cave once more. "Just keep a cwose eye on dem. Hopefuwwy, by de end of da week, I'ww update one of dose stowies fow yoo..."

"Otay, Nighty. I'ww be suwe ta keep yoo on twack..." I said, no longer trying to take any chances. I'd wanted to see those two stories of his update sometime in the future. He'd pretty much left them to collect dust, what with all the foalish adventures we had among our many stories, author's notes, and Blog Posts.

"Hehe, found yoo!" Rainbow Dash said, pulling the two of us out of the cave with her diminutive foal hooves. When she pulled us out, we pretty much tumbled out of the cave, much to her delight.

"Aww... Did we tawk too woud again?" I said, rather depressed that Rainbow Dash had caught us due to the fact that we'd been talking too much in a cave.

"Aww. Dat's otay, Shad," Rainbow Dash said, patting my shoulders in sympathy for me being caught out due to something I needed to get off of my chest. "Yoo and Nighty can hewp me find de odew foaws. If yoo want to dough..."

"Suwe. I'd wike dat, Dashie..." I said, smiling once more as I followed Rainbow Dash around the little area where we were all playing our game. "Come on, Nighty. Wet's go!"

"Hehe, otay, Shad..." he smiled as the three of us began our search for the rest of the Mane 6. Little smiles and giggles came from each of us as we examined every possible area we could find, in the hopes that Twilight and her friends would be easy to find in this aquatic world...
