A Merpony's Adventure
Chapter 27: Chapter Twenty Six
Previous Chapter Next ChapterSelene and Twilight were resting for more than a few hours after a roll in the hay as Applejack would call it. After two hours of sleep, Kibby and Krill both deemed it was time the lovers woke up and got dressed. Both of them walked into the room causing Skelly to smile as she stayed outside knowing what they were about to do. As they walked in Kibby and Krill pulled the lovers from the bed and placed them both into a shower getting them up and dressed. Selene was first as the silver necklaces were placed back on around her neck. Kibby had braided her mane before placing it up into a bun. When she was done with that her attention turned towards Twilight with a grin on her face. While Krill was cleaning the bracelets around Selene’s legs Kibby started on Twilight’s mane. She had to wrap her tail around the purple unicorn to keep her still as she worked. Kibby slipped a silver necklace in the shape of a shell with a sapphire sitting in the middle with diamonds on either side of the stone. Purple coral with chips of amethyst covering them giving them texture. Twilight sat still as she felt a small crown sitting on her head. Kibby had a smile up as she walked around Twilight and Selene fixing what she saw wrong as Krill walked towards the door.
“Let me know when they are ready to be introduced to the ponies” he walked out of the room leaving them along with Kibby. She took the opening and smacked both of them over the head.
“Next time you two go rolling in the kelp please put a sound barrier up” Kibby hissed as the both of them turned red.
“Who else?”
“Just me and Skelly. I had to endure hearing her say it sounded like Twilight was doing better than you queen. She wants to give you pointers” Kibby glanced towards Selene who was turning red as a cherry.
“Nope” Selene shook her head as she walked towards Twilight nudging the unicorn “Ready?” she smiled as Twilight nodded.
“How did you keep others from hearing us” Twilight looked towards Kibby.
“I placed a quick barrier up. I told others that you were talking about the next step in your relationship. Your friends might have something to say” Kibby walked out of the room leaving Twilight and Selene along sighing.
“Ready to get this part over?” Selene glanced towards the purple unicorn.
“Might as well” Twilight sighed as she walked towards the door with Selene following beside her. Selene looked up as she noticed the hallway looked just like the room but only smaller. Selene’s eyes were glancing around as she noticed the lamps were made from different size coral. The walls were made from a carved crystal that lightly glowed from the lights around them. Her eyes moved from the walls to the long dark red curtain that Krill was standing. He gave them a bow before slipping through the curtain. Selene let the breath she was holding go as she looked towards Twilight.
“Are you okay?”
“Nervous”
“I know. I am too” she leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. Her ears pointed up as she heard Krill cleared his throat causing the music to stop. Selene fixed her fins a bit as she moved some of the necklaces around her neck.
“Mares and Gentle colts may I introduced to you the daughter of King Triton and Queen Aurora, Queen of the Sea Selene Star and her mate Princess Twilight Sparkle” Selene’s eyes blinked as the curtains were pulled to the side allowing Selene to see the room packed with ponies. She walked out with Twilight by her side as they moved from the hall. Her eyes looked up as she noticed a large coral light hanging from the ceiling. The ceiling still had crystals growing from it. Moving from the ceiling she glanced around the walls noticing they were smoothed crystal covered in decorations. The room was filled with tables and chairs while a large bed sat in the middle covered in pillows. Her hooves moved with Twilight down a long red carpet that led towards the bed. Selene glanced towards Twilight as she noticed her hooves were shaking as she moved beside her. Once they were on the bed Selene used her fin and ran it along her back causing her to sit up. Krill smiled as he moved towards the side of the bed as he pulled out a scroll. Glancing over his shoulder Selene saw all the names of the ponies he needed to read off. Selene placed a smile on her face as Krill went through the list of names with the ponies coming up and bowing towards them. It took forever for the list to end allowing Selene and Twilight to relax. Glancing around Selene noticed Twilight’s brother sitting in the corner talking to some other ponies. Smiling she leaned down towards Twilight who looked like a deer in lights. Selene placed her hoof on top of hers as she pulled her closer. She could hear Twilight breathing heavily causing Selene to scan the crowd.
“Twilight go and enjoy yourself please” Selene leaned her head down nuzzling her. Twilight looked up as she noticed her friends in the back waiting. She nodded as she walked off leaving Selene alone a bit. Her heart started to race as the other ponies in the room started to come up towards her making small talk to her. Selene placed a smile on her face as she talked to them back. She had spent hours talking to others as the party members dwindled. Glancing around she noticed only merponies, her aunts and Twilight’s friends were left in the room. Selene watched as Twilight nodded as she walked towards the main entrance causing Selene to slip from the bed. She was able to catch up to Twilight as she tapped her on the shoulder.
“Are you okay?” Selene glanced down as Twilight looked up towards her.
“I have been thinking about what Kibby said”
“Oh? Would you want to walk and talk about it?” Selene held her hoof up towards the door. Twilight nodded as she walked out of the sanctuary with Selene by her side. The air was cool to the touch as the sun was at the horizon causing the sky to be painted with three different colors. The animals were getting settled in for the night as Twilight and Selene walked through the garden.
“So you been thinking about the words Kibby spoke?” Selene noticed the lamps around the garden were slowly changing from a bright yellow glow to a soft blue.
“Yeah. I know she told me to give up and that Star has no cure. However! I will not give up on you. I will find a way to make sure that you are around and I will do the second form with you” Twilight pointed her hoof towards Selene with the look of determination in her eyes. Selene had a smile on her face as she pulled Twilight into a hug. She leaned in and kissed her softly.
“You are so cute when you're determined. I am just glad we are not around coconut trees” Selene smiled.
“Not my fault that you were standing directly under the tree”
“I had to hold the basket remember. A certain unicorn wanted to climb the tree but was stuck in it afterwords” Selene kept the smile up as Twilight walked towards the main gate of the garden.
“How about we go to meet the parents. Without my brother around to complicate things” Twilight had a giggle as she had a smirk on her face. Selene nodded as she walked towards Twilight leaning against her. Both of them were unaware of the shadow that was following them. Many of the ponies that were out were either drinking or were on a date. Many of the ponies were dressed up causing Selene to stare at them making Twilight a bit jealous. As they were walking up towards a stone steps Selene spoke up breaking the silence.
“Why are they dressed like creatures?” She turned her head noticing the look Twilight was giving her before it turned into shocked.
“You never heard of Nightmare night?” Twilight was a bit shocked as Selene nodded.
“What is a nightmare Night? You said you had plans for it but I never heard of it. I also didn’t want to say anything about it, since I wanted to go along with it.” Selene smiled as Twilight sighed.
“Okay I am giving you a lesson on the holidays when we get back” Twilight huffed. Selene turned her head and noticed a couple of ponies dressed like her aunts. However, they were showing a lot of skin.
“Do ponies think my aunts are slutty?” She pointed towards the ponies causing Twilight to blush.
“We are also going over costumes as well” she raised her hoof knocking on the door. Selene nodded as she looked up towards the dark door decorated in leaves and round orange fruit. Selene leaned in and looked towards the door. As she was staring at the wreathe the door opened up revealing a tall blue stallion with a dark blue mane pushed back. His eyes were staring at Selene as his eyebrow went up.
“Nightmare night is a few..”
“Daddy” Twilight moved in front of Selene smiling.
“Twilight!” the unicorn pulled her in leaving Selene to slink into the house. She stayed behind Twilight as she watched Twilight hugged the pony in question.
“What are you doing here?” he looked towards Twilight as Selene kept quiet.
“I wanted you and mother to meet my Marefriend. And I also have some news but where is mother?” Twilight looked around as Selene moved towards the wall that was covered in books. Her eyes were glancing around the room noticing how warm and cozy it was. Pictures of Twilight and her brother were hanging on the wall along with some pieces of artwork. Her eyes kept moving around as she noticed a chair facing a fireplace with a newspaper draped over the arm. Selene was busy looking towards a couch as her hooves messed with the frilly pillows as she heard hooves moving above her. Glancing up towards the ceiling Selene looked towards Twilight.
“This house is it like the library?” she smiled as Twilight was giggling.
“Yes now climb off the couch. You're using it wrong” Twilight walked over and sat on the couch. Selene watched her and turned around and sat down feeling it sink under her causing her fins to flare up. Looking around she climbed off the couch and sat on the floor. Twilight was looking towards her.
“It was pulling me in” Selene crossed her hooves as she noticed the blue unicorn walking down the stairs again. Behind him was a light grey unicorn with a white and lavender mane.
“Dear, you could have let Twilight up. I was just working on my notes” she had a smile on her face till she noticed Selene sitting on the floor. Twilight moved from the couch causing Selene to stand up.
“Mother, father this is Selene my Merfriend” Twilight was smiling “And Selene this is my mother Twilight Velvet and my father Night Light” Selene walked over and bowed towards them her fins twitching on her back a bit.
“Hello” Selene smiled as her tail moved behind her. Night Light smiled as he waved his hoof towards his daughter.
“Well, why don’t you two take off your costumes and I will make some tea.” He smiled as Selene glanced towards Twilight.
“Where will I put the necklace and crown?” she leaned over and whispered. Twilight shrugged as she walked towards the kitchen. Selene started to walk towards the kitchen but was stopped by Velvet.
“You came back” she hissed as she glared towards Selene.
“I came to land yes” Selene tilted her head. She moved away from Velvet as she entered the kitchen picking a free spot next to Twilight. Velvet walked in and picked up a free chair beside Night Light.
“I told you two can take your costumes off. I know a lot of ponies are holding Nightmare Night parties” he smiled as Twilight glanced towards Selene.
“I’m wearing a real crown father. Selene is a real merpony” she pointed towards Selene who opened her fin out and waved towards him with it. She smiled as he placed his cup down as he looked towards his wife.
“Now I know why our son needed those documents” he smiled.
“So are you going to run off and make my daughter forget about you” Velvet spoke up as she leaned back into her chair. Venom was ready to spew from her lips as she placed her cup on the table.
“What no…I am not my father!” Selene huffed as she looked towards the mare.
“So your father” She was cut off as Twilight placed her hooves on the table.
“Mother! Her father made her forget about me as well. Princess Celestia and Luna helped us both get her memories back” Twilight was glaring towards her mother causing her to relax a bit.
“Well if the princesses were involved I guess everything is fine” she leaned forward in her chair. She picked up her cup as Twilight let out a sigh.
“So she is your Merfriend.” Night smiled trying to pick up the conversation in the right direction.
“Yes she is and she is” Twilight sat back in her chair.
“With skull” Selene spoke up as her tail moved a bit “Or with egg.”
“With egg?” Twilight looked towards her as Selene nodded.
“Oh yes, that is the popular saying in Maremuda. Saying with Skull is the Island of Sol the saying. it is different in certain islands. Here they say, child. I have just been following Kibby and the others saying” She smiled as Twilight nodded.
“She carrying a foal?” Velvet sat up as she looked towards Selene “Did you come back and pressured her!” her voiced echoed through the house causing Selene to sigh
“Mother it’s mine!” Twilight growled.
“What how?” Velvet’s eyes went wide as she glances towards her daughter.
“The night at the gala went south for us. So she took me to her room in the castle and she taught me merpony biology while I taught her surface pony biology” Twilight was turning red “I used the spell I learned while searching the archives with her. and you used?”
“it was what stallion merponies have but made from water” Selene pulled her cup towards her feeling out of place
“Wait really? It felt so real” Twilight started to blush.
“I am a merpony Twilight. We can manipulate the water to fit what we need”
“You sound like Discord now” she smiled as Selene rolled her eyes as she rested her chin on the table allowing her to place her weight on the table.
“Well how far along are you” Night was smiling
“Two and a half months is what Kibby said. But she said I need to wait and see a surface doctor too get a good reading. Healers have a hard time judging how far a merpony is if they are not sure when they did the dead. The child’s magic interferes with their magic” Selene smiled as Twilight looked down towards her.
“Okay tomorrow we are going to the doctor” Twilight glanced back to her parents as she noticed her mother was sitting there shocked with a slight smirk on her muzzle.
“So Velvet grandchildren how do you like that” Night smiled as he knew what buttons to press to make his wife smile.
“Grandchildren” she smiled as she clapped her hooves “Oh we are going shopping as well and oh the baby shower” her eyes sparkled as Selene glanced up towards her.
“Okay, so Pinkie might have some competition for baby shower” Selene smiled as Twilight chuckled.
“What oh no I am throwing one”
“And so are my aunts and Pinkie” Selene sighed as Twilight shivered.
“And seeing the look in Celestia’s eyes when Pinkie said she was throwing one for you. I thought the sun was going to explode” Twilight refilled her cup before refilling the cup in front of Selene.
“Wait why would Celestia be throwing one?” Night spoke up as he pulled the tea kettle towards them.
“Celestia and Luna are my aunts” Selene sat up as she stretched her back out.
“Oh, my” Velvet blinked as she smiled. “Oh fine she can have the shower but I am buying my first grandbaby clothes and stuff” her eyes were lit up as Twilight sighed.
“Were not sure if she carrying one or two. It is common for merponies to have twins when the other parent is a surface pony.” Twilight was rubbing her head as Selene looked over at her.
“Tired?” Selene sits up as she nuzzled her.
“Yeah” her voice held a tired emotion to it.
“What have you two been doing all day?” Night smiled as Twilight looked over at him.
“I was helping the princesses create a new sanctuary for merponies. There was one in the Crystal empire but we thought having one here in Canterlot would be helpful. I was also talking to Selene about things” she blushed as she looked away “I got little sleep”
“Well, why not sleep here? Then you girls can go out see the doctor and pick up stuff for the new addition” Night smiled as Twilight looked towards Selene.
“I can help you get out of the necklaces and crown” Twilight pushed herself away from the table. Selene looked towards the ponies bowing before following Twilight. As she moved up the stairs she noticed more pictures of Twilight and her brother hanging on the wall causing her to stop and stare. Her eyes glanced towards Twilight who was signaling her into the room. Walking into the far left room she noticed the walls were lined with books and star charts. A small bed sat under the window with a desk nearby it. Twilight was sitting near the bed taking the crown and the other jewelry she had on-off placing it on the desk.
“Wow, so many books!” Selene was glancing along the shelves causing the purple unicorn to giggle.
“Well, I love to read” she chuckled a bit as Selene turned towards her. She could feel her magic along with the necklace she was wearing as it slipped from her neck. Moving closer to Twilight she climbed onto the bed allowing her to move the bracelets from her hooves. Selene pulled the crown from her head as Twilight pulled the ribbon from her mane allowing it to fall around her.
“Better?”
“Yes. I hate my crown it was one reason I never ware it. I just want to be normal” she looked over at Twilight as she walked over towards her closet. Selene sat up and watched her as she dug around in a couple of boxes.
“You know not ever pony gets that chance. I should know” she turned towards her smiling. Selene nodded as she watched Twilight pull out a long sapphire sword “I knew I still had this” she smiled as she walked towards Selene.
“You still have that old hunk of sapphire?”
“Of course silly” she placed it down next to Selene as the merpony sat up looking down at it. Selene leaned over and placed her hoof towards it.
“You know it takes the shape of what the current ruler wants it to be. My grandfather needed and wanted a sword that could never break when he was in battle.” Selene watched as the sword changed into a bracelet that she placed on Twilight. They watched as the bracelet climbed her leg changing into swirls and stars while stopping a bit from her body. She lifted her leg a bit moving it watching the sapphire move with her leg.
“This is lovely…what did you want it to be?”
“I wanted it to be something I could give you. I wanted it to be something that you could wear and that could protect you when you need it” Selene smiled as Twilight laid out beside her.
“And here I thought it would half to stay in my closet” she smiled as Selene pulled her into her hooves nuzzling her neck.
“And now It doesn’t” she let out a yawn as she placed her head down. Twilight smiled as she closed her eyes nestling into Selene.
