The walkthrough town was peaceful as most of the ponies were home for the evening. Twilight was going over different plans first as they walked towards the treehouse. As Twilight opened the door to the house they noticed Spike was sitting at the dining room table with Discord going over some ideas for a board game they liked to play. Spike looked up from the table with a grin over his face.

“Twilight!” he ran over towards her as Discord walked over towards Selene. He picked up the merpony in his arms and hugged her.

“Oh my Selene why are you here?” he looked towards her as Selene simply blinked.

“Aunt Celestia is letting me stay here for the week. After the week were all going to the Tropics for a bit with Princess Luna. You and Spike are free to come with us” she looked up as Discord spun around holding the pony in his claws.

“Oh I get another vacation and I get to see the area of where my favorite niece grew up” he smiled as Selene nodded as her eyes were rolling in her head. Discord placed her on the ground as she placed her hoof to her head. Twilight was watching as Discord was acting out of character as he was glancing down at Selene.

“Well, we should get this merpony to bed. She will be with Pinkie tomorrow than Applejack, then Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and then Rarity, while she is staying here in Ponyvile” Twilight, smiled as Discord nodded.

“Then I will see you tomorrow then” he walked out of the treehouse whistling as Selene looked over at him.

“Is it me or is Discord a bit off? Spike was rubbing his head.

“Celestia said he might act weird around Selene.”

“Why is that?” Spike looked up at his mother.

“Well, he is her family. He was a jokester in his past but was very heavily protective of his family. Celestia thinks that since his sister and his niece are back in his life he will start to revert when he was a pony” Twilight watched as Selene moved her mane smiling as she had closed the door to the treehouse softly.

“Oh this is going to be weird” Spike shivered as Twilight nodded.

“What’s going to be weird?” Selene spoke up as Twilight smiled.

“Having foals running around here. I raised Spike but ponies” Twilight chuckled as Spike looked up at her.

“Wait what do you mean by that?” Twilight looked towards her dragon as she let out a sigh. She picked up Spike in her hooves leaving Selene alone for a bit. She watched as they entered another room with a door blocking their voices. After a short while, Selene heard a loud thud against the bedroom door. She winced as she heard the loud thud as that sounded bad. She watched as the door opened up as Spike walked out rubbing his head.

“I’m glad I am made of scales” he wined a bit as he walked out into the living area looking up at Selene “are you really?” his voice was leaving him as Selene nodded. Selene could see the shock in his eyes.

“I thought you were all joking when I heard the shouting. Oh boy, I’m going to be an uncle” he walked over and sat on the couch. Selene walked over towards him as she created a small bubble of water placing it on his head. Spike watched as the water was placed on his head.

“Feel better?” she smiled as Spike nodded.

“Thanks. So can you turn any pony into a merpony?” he was moving his claws around.

“I can give them a spell-like the one Twilight is wearing” she looked towards him as she removed the small bubble of water “ do you want one?”

“I’m not sure” he ran his claws over his arms as Selene lightly rubbed his head.

“Well, how about you wait till we are out on the islands. I can still make you one if you want when we are out there” she smiled as Spike nodded. He jumped off the couch as he looked towards the ponies.

“Well it's getting late how about I cook you two something to eat?” he smiled as Selene glanced towards Twilight.

“Thank you Spike” she smiled as Selene nodded as she looked towards the drake. He walked into the kitchen as Selene sprawled herself out on the floor listening to the humming from the dragon. Her fins twitched as she felt the floor move under her as Twilight walked over holding a thick book in her magic as she laid out beside Selene.

“So I have the three spells written down so far. I have the sonar, the shield, and the wave spell. I am shocked at how detailed those foundations you gave me where” Twilight opened the book up allowing Selene to glance at the pages. Glancing over the pages she could see the foundations drawn out with different colors with words written around the circles.

“you have a flaw in your book Twilight,” Selene noticed that she had labeled the small circles that look like bubbles as nothing but cosmetic.

“Oh, what did I write down wrong?”

“These bubbles. The small ones on the outer ring are not cosmetic. You see these are just foundations. Once you learn the foundation you can expand on them and that is where these bubbles come in play. Now with the shield foundation, you can go two different ways to start. That is why there are only two bubbles one at top and one on the bottom. The first way you can modify or expand on this foundation is keeping this as a shield and work on defense. You can create the shield in different ways once you go this route. You can make an ice shield and work in that direction or work in strengthen your shield so it can bounce attacks back. Also depending on how you work that route depends on how much the attack counters back. My father’s shield can cast attacks back four times the damage. If you don’t want that you can strengthen your shield so it can stay up longer and cost a lot less mana to cast. Now the bottom bubble if you go this route will make this more of an attack weapon. This means if you have a spear in one hoof and a shield in another hoof you can create spikes or knives on the shield. You can then use the shield to bash your way through enemies harming them in the process. You can then grow on that but either making spikes or knives. Then you can expand on whether you want the spikes or knives to a certain amount of damage and they can stay out longer. With spikes, you can upgrade them to fly from the shield while the knives can use the blood from the enemies to strengthen them. Also, you can make it where these are cast using less mana as well” she smiled as she noticed Twilight was staring at her in shock.

“Wait so merponies don’t need multiple spells for different things?” she had her quill in her magic as Selene shook her head.

“All you need to know is the base foundation and based on what you do with that foundation you can summon any of the levels that you use. If you want to learn multiple foundations and then create each foundation for one level then you can. Though you need to know each spell and you might summon more than one item. If you level up to say a shield in everything all you would need to do is to think about the level of shield you want to cast. If you know the highest ice shield spell and you know the mid-range counterspell. Depending on what you need or want you think about the ice or counterspell and it will create a shield in front of you based on what you want” Selene watched as she was writing down the new notes as Spike walked in placing a bowl of roasted vegetables with a hayburger in front of Twilight while Selene got a large plate of vegetables mixed with fruit as well. Twilight was shocked at what Spike made as Selene was poking at the plate.

“You think that is enough food Spike?” Twilight was chuckling as Spike held the wooden spoon towards her.

“A mare who is pregnant needs all the food she can get. And I am not about to be a bad uncle to the niece or nephew” he huffed.

“Spike I think they would see you as an older brother” Twilight looked towards him as he smiled.

“Good I will have some young minds to teach. Oh, and to share embarrassing stories about their father” he shot a glare towards Twilight as Selene chuckled a bit.

“Thank you, Spike. I do have some gems in my bags. I think I left them in the tank below, however, they are full of salt so they are good for cooking. I do know a few sea dragons that use them for such” she noticed his face turned into a large grin.

“Really!”

“Oh yes. They like to stuff them into fish and roast them over the lava pits under the sea”

“Can you show me?”

“Of course. But it will half to be far out of town as I don’t think most ponies like the smell of burning fish” Selene sat up a bit as she fixed her fins abit. She pulled the plate over to her and started to munch on the food Spike had made for her.

“Alright,” he smiled as he walked back into the kitchen causing Twilight to shake her head. Selene placed her empty plate down as she let out a yawn.

“I will say he knows how to cook” she smiled as Twilight chuckled picking her plate up along with Selene’s before disappearing into the kitchen.

“Will you sleep down here or do you want to go upstairs?” Twilight walked into the room as Selene looked up towards the mare.

“I will stay down here in the tank. It would probably be easier for Pinkie to find me” she smiled as Twilight nodded. Selene turned around and slipped into the warm tank. Moving down to the bottom she noticed her bags were still in the same place as where Twilight had left them. What caught her eye was her trident. It was cracked and the gems that were embedded in them were shattered along the floor of the tank. Reaching over she tapped the trident watching it crumble in her hooves. Her heart sank in her chest as she opened her bag pulling the items out. She placed her bag of gems on an empty bookshelf along with the other nick-knacks she had. She placed her journal with her maps in it on the stand before moving into the bed. Curling up on the bed she let a yawn on before closing her eyes. Morning came as she let out a yawn rubbing her eyes. She could hear something pounding as she moved up the tank poking her head out. She noticed Twilight was sitting in the area working on something that sounded metal.

“Twilight?” Selene let a yawn out as the purple unicorn turned her head around smiling.

“Selene did I wake you?” she gave out a sheepish smile.

“ A little. What are you doing?” she pulled herself out of the tank as she looked towards a metal frame Twilight was in the middle of the building.

“Oh, this?” she moved away from the frame allowing Selene to see it. It was a weird frame with two large wheels attached to it “It’s a wheelchair. Applejack brought it over to help you. It came apart after we got into the treehouse. Since you can’t use your magic to create legs.” Twilight was smiling as Selene moved towards the frame.

“How do I get into it?” she tilted her head as Twilight.

“Okay so you place your bottom fin on this bar here and your tail gets strapped in. then all you half to do is walk as the frame keeps your body up and your tail off the ground.” She smiled as Selene walked over to the frame placing her tail on the bottom of the bar watching as Twilight strap her in. placing her hooves on the floor she moved a bit as Twilight watched silently.

“How is it?”

“It’s weird but I think it would work” Selene smiled as she looked towards Twilight. “So what time is it? And did Pinkie say” Selene was cut off as Pinkie barged into the treehouse with a smile on her face.

“Selene you are mine. Hi Twilight! Bye Twilight!” Pinkie pulled Selene out of the treehouse again as she bounced through the town with the merpony in tow.

“So what do you have plan?” Selene looked towards the bouncing mare.

“Oh well the cakes are out delivering a cake and I thought you could help me with the bakery” She smiled as Selene entered the bakery.

“Pinkie I am in a walking device”

“Oh silly you will sit at the counter taking orders” Pinkie smiled as she helped Selene out of the device and onto a stool. Selene adjusted herself as she watches Pinkie bounced around the bakery for the morning “Oh I also have a party planned later today” she smiled as she disappeared into the kitchen. Selene sighed as she looked at the register in front of her.

“Pinkie how do I run this!” Selene shouted to the mare in the back.

“Oh, that’s easy silly. Just ring the pony up and take their money.” Pinkie smiled as Selene poked the register in front of her as she let out a sigh. She turned her head as she looked up towards the sun slowly rising in the sky.

“Pinkie do you always get up before my aunt’s sun?” Selene groaned as Pinkie placed a glass of juice in front of her.

“Yep. How else do you create a ton of sweets for ponies” she giggled as she placed a few doughnuts in the glass case in front of her. She then disappeared into the kitchen and came back out with a tray of muffins and bagels placing them in front of her. “So cookies are three bits, bagels and muffins are five bits and doughnuts are ten bits. Now I will be in the back creating some cake deserts” Pinkie smiled before leaving her a bagel to nibble on as she heard Selene’s stomach growling. The merpony smiled as she moved her tail a bit while her fins twitched behind her as her ears caught the sound of the bell of the door. Looking up she noticed a few ponies walking in chatting to themselves.

“Good morning” Selene smiled as she placed her bagel on a nearby table beside her as she brushed her hooves against her towel.

“Good morning” one stallion looked towards her a weird look “Is Pinkie running an early Nightmare night special?” he spoke up as Selene shook her head as her fins moved a bit behind her.

“What is a Nightmare night special?” Selene tilted her head as she looked at him “Is there anything you need?” she smiled as she noticed the stallion and the other ponies looking towards her.

“One muffin please” the stallion looked at her.

“Five bits please” her fins spread out behind her as she reached into the counter pulling out a muffin. She looked around and grabbed a paper towel and placed the muffin on it. Selene watched as the stallion place five bits on the counter. Using her magic she floated the bits in a small ball of water as she tapped the order in the register.

“Thank you” Selene smiled as she waved towards the watching stallion. He walked over and picked up his muffin before slowly walking out of the bakery. Selene looked towards the ponies that were behind him and kept her smile up.

“Can I help you?” she watched as they all backed out of the bakery causing Selene to sigh. She leaned over and picked up her bagel again and went back to chewing on it. Her eyes would notice that the ponies were silently from the door.

“Pinkie their watching me” Selene turned her head towards the kitchen as she finished her bagel. Pinkie popped her head out of the kitchen noticing the ponies were looking at the merpony from the door and whispering. She huffed as she walked towards the door opening it for them.

“Now what is the problem here” Pinkie huffed as an orange earth pony with a yellowish-orange mane and tail walked up to the party pony.

“Pinkie she thinks she is a fish”

“What Selene? she is a merpony!” Pinkie smiled as the orange pony looked over at her.

“Pinkie that’s not normal” once she said that many of the townsfolk nodded.

“Oh and what of Zecora? You all had to talk to her and get to know her. I bet you all will love Selene. She from Maremuda and she is the daughter to a merpony king” Pinkie smiled as Selene watched the party pony. Pinkie turned and bounced back into the kitchen as Selene watched the ponies move from the door still not sure.

“I’m sorry Pinkie”

“Oh don’t be. It’s their fault they don’t want to know you” she smiled as she walked into the back humming along. Selene stayed still as she noticed a lot of foals and fillies rushing into the shop as a light purple mare with a light lavender and lilac mane appeared behind them.

“Class, please. One single file line please and once you get your treats find a seat” the teacher looked towards Selene causing the merpony to wave towards her.

“Good morning”

“It’s afternoon” one of the students spoke up causing Selene looking at the sky.

“Oh, good afternoon. How can I help you?”

“Oh, what is Pinkie thinking” the teacher spoke up as she walked towards the counter.

“Pinkie is in the back baking at the moment” Selene tilted her head as three fillies ran up towards her.

“Were sorry!” they shouted as they threw their hooves up on the glass,

“Scootaloo, Applebloom, Sweetie Bell what is going on?” the teacher looked towards them as Selene looked towards them.

“Oh, I’ve met you three before” Selene smiled “and it’s okay it wasn’t your fault I was getting too hot while learning how to bake.” Selene chuckled as she waved at them with her fin.

“So you're fine?” Applebloom tilted her head as Selene nodded.

“Of course so what can I get for you all” she smiled as the fillies and colts gave her their order. Many of them were peaking around the corner looking at her tail some of them were in shock and awe.

“Children it's not nice to stare! If a pony wants to wear their costume early they can” the teacher walked over and Selene waved her hoof towards her.

“I’m not wearing a costume. I am a merpony from Maremuda.” Selene looked over at her as the teacher took back at her.

“Oh dear what did Twilight create now?” she placed her hoof on her head.

“Twilight didn’t create me.” Selene scratched her head “I can’t use magic at the moment to change my tail to hooves” Selene was messing with her hooves as she looked towards the teacher pass out.

“Pinkie! A mare just fainted!” Selene shouted as she looked towards the kitchen. Pinkie walked out and sighed as she noticed the teacher on the ground.

“When did Miss Cheerilee pass out?” she rubbed her head.

“When she saw me and when I explained I wasn’t wearing a costume and that Twilight didn’t create me” Selene looked over at Pinkie.

“I should head back to the library. I don’t think this is going well today” Selene moved from the stool as she looked at the pink party pony. Pinkie didn’t know what to say as Selene placed herself in the wheelchair before walking out. Selene sighed as she walked towards the treehouse noticing the stares on ponies' faces. As her fins twitched she didn’t realize that she was being followed by little hooves and eyes. Spike was standing at the door as he looked up towards Selene.

“Selene I thought you were with Pinkie Pie today?”

“Ponies were looking at me and wouldn’t come into the shop. I think I made one pony pass out.” She looked down towards the ground as Spike snicker.

“I think you have a following” he pointed behind her causing Selene to look behind her noticing the little ones were following her.
