“What could go wrong” he smiled. What the spirit of chaos didn’t know everything could go wrong. Selene couldn’t use the knife with her hooves correctly as it kept slipping. A few times if dropped and almost sliced a side fin from her tail off. Lucky for her she only sliced her scales off causing her to wine out. He was patching her up as she took a new knife in her magic and carefully cut the vegetables in front of her. She was measuring out some water before placing it in a pot to boil. As she was measuring out the flour she dropped it and it went everywhere covering the kitchen in a layer of white flour. Discord simply stared at the merpony as the boiling water blew up as her magic took hold in her desperation causing it to skyrocket out of the house. He let a breath out as he glances over at her. If she was worried about being related to him or the princesses was still in her mind. It just flew out of the roof. Discord could not deny that she wasn’t his relative as he was the only one who could possibly cause this much chaos in such a short time.

“My dear you are truly related to me” he could only pat her head causing more flour to appear. She had tears in her eyes as she was watching him. She was calm till the pot came back through the ceiling causing Selene to freak out as her magic grabbed onto the water in the pipes causing them to burst. Discord sighed as he grabbed Selene in his hooves cleaning up the flour from her.

“Fluttershy my dear” he smiled as the Pegasus came walking in stopping in her tracks as she watched the water flow from the sink and cabinets.

“Dis..”

“I will fix this when I get back. I am going to quickly drop our dear merpony here back at the treehouse so her tail can get looked at.” He kept his smile up as Fluttershy simply nodded. He pulled her in close before disappearing.

Twilight was in the middle of a meeting with her sister in law and her brother. Spike was happily munching on a gem trying to stay out of the way as Shining Armor was trying to stay calm. Spike had his nose in the middle of a power pony comic as he noticed a flash of light in the kitchen. He noticed a brown unicorn stallion walking Selene in placing her on the couch before smiling.

“Spike will you tell Twilight I brought Selene home” he waved his hoof at the dragon before disappearing. Looking up at the merpony he noticed the bloody bandage on her tail.

“What happened?” he placed his comic down.

“I tried cooking with Fluttershy but stabbed myself by accident. Uncle Discord tried and I dropped the knife cutting my tail, causing flour to go everywhere and I made a pot soar through the ceiling. When that came crashing down it scared me and water was everywhere” she was blushing as Spike got up to fetch the first aid kit.

“Well let me treat your wound and get Twilight. Oh, you might want to stay clear of Shining armor” he pointed a claw at her as Selene scratched her head.

“Why?”

“You did what!!!” Selene heard Shining armor shout causing her fins to flare up.

“Spike what did I do?” she moved a bit behind the couch as Spike walked back into the living room with the first aid kit.

“Twilight is telling them about the twins your carrying. I think she also told them she became your mate. I think she trying to tell them what it means for you two” he smiled as Selene stayed hidden.

“No sister of mine will marry a doomed pony!” once again Selene started to shiver as Spike opened the first aid kit placing proxied on her tail. Selene let out a hiss towards him.

“I know but it will help trust me” he waved his claw towards her as he placed a large packet of gauze down before taping it to her tail hoping that will help. Selene pulled herself quickly under the couch as she heard a door open up. Her ears caught the sound of hooves moving down the stairs causing it to creak.

“Shiny!”

“Twilight when the princess told me you would need help with the princess of the sea. She told me the princess was cursed and you were helping her. I was fine with that because it meant we could build a relationship with the kingdom. When I heard she was pregnant I thought the stallion she has would be lucky. I didn’t think it was truly you! and I didn’t think you would be so bone head to be her mate!” Shining armor growled as Twilight stared at him. Tears were in her eyes as she sat on the stairs as Cadence appeared between them.

“Shining Armor!” she growled causing him to stop “Your sister is trying to help! So they rushed their relationship a bit! But trust me when I tell you that Selene loves her and will never break your sister’s heart”

“Breaking my sister’s heart is not the issue here. Selene walks into our lives and you fall head over hooves for her”

“Shiny I knew her! You saw my memories! Pinkie told me you were shocked and very silent through the whole thing!” Twilight shouted causing her brother to sigh.

“I am worried you're throwing your life away Twilight”

“I am not throwing my life away. I am trying to break my shell! I am trying to see what is out there for me. I’m sorry if the first pony ever besides our family and the princess who has called me cute or lovely is a cursed merpony! She has made me feel like I matter” she sighed as Shining armor looked up towards his sister.

“Twilley you matter”

“I know I matter to you and our parents. I know I matter to the princesses. But I never felt like I mattered to other ponies. Yes, I know I matter to my friends but to strangers. I feel like they only see me as a nerd that only likes books. Or I am probably stuck up since I am the student of the princess.” She was huffing at this point as Selene kept watch from her hiding spot. She pulled her tail closer to her as she watched the tears from Twilight fall. She quickly moved from the couch before disappearing into the tank ignoring their calls. Selene curled up on her bed as she pulled a pillow towards her. Her heart was pounding as the feeling in her stomach dropped. Her head lifted when she felt a pair of hooves on her arm causing her to sit up. She saw Twilight sitting beside her with a soft smile on her face. Selene sat up as she allowed Twilight to sit on the shell.

“You heard everything?”

“I heard him yelling when uncle Discord dropped me off. When I heard him yell I got under the couch. I heard him talk to you and…its was making me think I should have stayed in the sea.” She looked away before getting pulled into a hug.

“And be miserable? Selene you coming out of the sea has been fun and exciting! I’m learning new magic that no pony has ever seen or thought about! Plus my friends seem to be having a good time with you.” Twilight smiled as Selene moved her hooves around Twilight.

“Better?”

“Yes”

“Want to go over magic?”

“Yes but I have a question” she looked up towards Twilight.

“Okay”

“For magic. Do you want me to give you more add ons to the foundations that you have now and I can also add more foundations if you want” Selene sat up watching Twilight’s face lit up.

“You have more foundations? I thought the sonar, shield and wave spell was the only foundations that you needed?”

“No there are a lot more spells that merponies can do. I can give you a healing spell, a heat spell, and a plant growing spell. For the add ons I can expand your shield spell and your wave spell and your sonar as well” she watched as Twilight sat in front of her thinking.

“Okay,” she was giddy as she clapped her hooves together. Selene nodded as she held her hooves out to Twilight. The purple merpony placed her hooves on Selene’s before leaning in. Selene leaned in and kissed her deeply as her fins twitched behind her. She used her magic to pull Twilight into the small arena where Star was resting on one of the benches. She had open an eye looking at the two as Selene was moving bubbles around.

“So this is where you been?” Twilight glanced over to the curse.

“I been enjoying my vacation” she huffed as she closed her eye.

“Vacation?” she was shocked as Star let out a yawn before doing a cat stretch pose.

“Yes, Vacation. The surface ponies have been nice to Selene besides Blueblood. Celestia promised me some time with him” she grinned towards Twilight “But other than that it's been so quiet I don’t have to linger about worrying about Selene getting attacked” Star adjusted herself as Selene had separated the bubbles.

“Star be nice”

“I am. Oh and Twilight after this you might want to take it easy on the magic” she closed her eyes as she nestled herself between the gaps of the seats in the arena.

“I was wondering why she been so quiet and nonexistent. Also why?” Twilight smiled as Star sat up.

“I am still here you know to answer you. I am using your magic right now as Selene should not be using hers. I do have some reserve that I can use to not harm her. And if you want me around just tell me sweet scale.” she winked at Twilight causing the purple merpony to blush.

“I’ll stay with Selene” she pointed to the other merpony.

“Spoiled sport” Star closed her eyes again as Selene pointed to the three small bubbles.

“The dark pink will allow you better control of your sonar. It will also make it easier for you to cast that spell. The dark blue bubble will make the wave spell go two ways. One way it will allow the spell to be more powerful or you can learn how to cast the wave spell with less mana. The dark green spell will add to the shield spell. It will go two ways as well and the first way you can learn the spell is to create a stronger shield or you can make it stay up longer with less mana. These smaller bubbles will give you a choice once you touch them so think about it before working on these. Now the larger bubbles are as follows. The light tan bubble is the heat spell. It’s a simple stander heat the water spell. The dark brown bubble will allow you to grow kelp, while the light yellow bubble is the healing spell. You will start by healing small cuts and wounds but nothing major” Selene smiled as she watched Twilight staring at her.

“Wow, how many spell foundations do you all have?”

“Well in total we have about twenty main foundations. But each foundation has different branches that you can build and grow on. Each foundation either has two or four branches that grow with the spell that you learn. How many does Equestria have?”

“Plenty. Canterlot has a whole library of books filled with spells!” Twilight looked up towards Selene “So you don’t have libraries filled with spells?”

“No spells are passed down like this. We pass on our knowledge through memories in bubbles like these. Not many merponies like to write or read. They only do that when they're young in school.”

“What happens if the news is needed?” Twilight moved towards Selene.

“Word of mouth. Or they look at postings that the officials post. Or they listen to the merponies who are paid to read out the news that happens.” Selene fixed the bubbles as Twilight was shocked to look at her.

“Now how do you check if I learned something already?”

“Oh, the small add on will not give you the option. It will give you one of the other options that you have not learned plus a higher version of the branch you have already learned. So if you learned how to make a stronger shield you will be shown hot to make the shield stay up longer with less mana as a smaller size or you would be shown the larger stronger shield with less mana. You will understand when you see it” Selene smiled as she moved towards Twilight. She nodded her head as she rubbed her hooves together. Star had cracked an eye as she looked towards the two ponies with a smile on her face.

“I think you two need to end this session” Star spoke up causing Selene to blush.

“Oh? Do you want my attention?” Twilight smiled as she looked towards Star. This caused the curse to move from her spot swimming over to Twilight kissing her deeply “If I wanted your attention I wouldn’t need it like this” she smiled as she placed a hoof on her cheek “Your friends are around and Spike is talking to them plus Selene shouldn’t be using her magic!” Star pointed towards the other merpony. Twilight placed her hoof to her forehead.

“Right” She glanced towards Selene who nodded towards her. She silent moved towards her as she leaned in and kissed her softly as she slowly cut the magic. Twilight opened her eyes as she broke the kiss looking to the side noticing her friends. Her fins went up instantly as Selene opened her eyes. Looking up she noticed Twilight was blushing as she moved up towards the top of the tank. Before following her Selene grabbed the bag of gems. Popping her head out of the top of the tank she noticed Twilight was staring at her friends blushing. This was the first time seeing her tail.

“Holy smokes Twi!” Applejack spoke up as Selene stayed hidden.

“Yeah Twi if Selene was going to give you a tail why not us?” Rainbow crossed her hooves glaring at her friend.

“Can you give us a tail Twilight?” Pinkie looked towards her.

“I learned this spell from Krill. And I thought you all saw my tail when we went to the aquarium?” she looked towards her friends.

“No dearie. We knew you went to see Selene but none of us saw your tail or you entering the tank with your tail. We went to find the owner and talk to them while you were dealing with her. When we learned you were staying the evening we took the girls around to see the fish” Rarity looked at her friend as Selene pulled herself from the tank.

“I gave her the ability to be a merpony at the harbor.” When she spoke up they all turned towards her “ she fell into the harbor after getting knocked out of the boat and she was drowning and I didn’t want her to die” Selene glanced away as the others looked towards her. Her eyes looked up noticing they were staring at her.

“Well, sug we're not going to get mad at you for that” Applejack spoke up breaking the silence.

“I was going to make shells for you all on our way to the islands. I wanted you all to have fun with a tail and see the sea for what it is. I just don’t have a lot of shells on me. I lost the majority of them when I went overboard to chase Twilight” Selene blushed as she moved closer. Twilight pulsed her spell allowing her legs to stretch. Once she said those words Pinkie started to bounce.

“We get to be merponies!” she shouted as she bounced around the room. Twilight watched as Selene was quickly swept up in a hug.

“So why are you all here?” Twilight tilted her head as she looked back at her friends.

“Well, Discord was wanting to see how Selene was doing. He was busy working on Fluttershy’s cottage after a large accident with her. He was smiling when he told the story to us saying “She so related to me. I’ve never seen a pony do that much chaos without breaking a sweat. Unless she was Pinkie Pie and was running on pure sugar” Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes as Selene turned red.

“He was teaching me how to cook and prep food and it went downhill. I lost control of the knife I ended up slicing my scales off. I caused a pot to shot into the sky and made the pipes burst when the pot landed scaring me” Selene could feel her face turning red as Twilight and the others just stared at her.

“No wonder he was laughing his flank off when he tried telling the story” Aj adjusted her hat. Rainbow was trying to keep her laughter down.

“You know you jumping will not help you tomorrow at the Wonderbolt’s show” Rainbow looked towards Selene.

“Oh, and where is this show going to be Rainbow?” Twilight looked over at her friend.

“Oh, it’s in Canterlot since the princesses will be watching as well. I was going to take her to Cloudsdale show but thought it would be easier for the Canterlot show” Rainbow shrugged as Twilight and the others nodded. Selene smiled at them.

“So what is a Wonderbolt? I know the fillies told me about Nightmare night and I can’t wait for that celebration” she clapped her hooves in delight.

“You don’t know what a Wonderbolt is?” Rainbow looked towards Selene.

“No”

“What! Do you not have sports in Maremuda?” Rainbow moved towards Selene.

“We only make the annual guard fight a competition but that is about it. I know the guards will race to see who will take what position in my father’s guard. Ra and Za are the only two who do not half to compete for their position since no pony wanted to be my guard and never wanted to fight for it.” She glances over at the Pegasus who’s jaw just dropped.

“Oh I am so taking you to the Wonderbolt show!” she smiled as Selene looked towards Twilight.

“You will have fun” she smiled as Selene nodded.
