Bronies For Life

(OOC: Your not getting away with that.) Aqua looked at the now-returning pony. All of a sudden, 3 of her trinkets- still having the price tags attached, fell out of his bag. All of a sudden, a water snake was squeezing him, constricting him. He had nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. "Thiefs aint very well accepted in my shops. Now, either you pay for all that, or your going to meet my friends at the bottom of the river."

(OOC: Its the way I learned. Quick and simple, get the point across. ill try to make em longer! ) Aqua nodded her head, and motioned towards the surfboard. "Now. Im going to fill up that indent again, maybe widen it a little. But believe me, all this water morphing 'n' moving 'n' stuff has me beat. Not saying I couldn't do it more if need be..." Aqua glared at Dusty. "...It just wears on ya. Now then..." Aqua moved more mater, though a bit's worth less spectacularly, into the pit made for Dusty. She also extended it a bit, to fit the surfboard. "Okay now, set the board down into the water then step on it."

Aqua walked up next to the now-clean pony, and said into his ear, yet loud enough that the twins could hear, "You touch that wagon, expect to meet the little water-snake a couple hundred more times." Aqua grinned and walked back.

Aqua smiled deviously. All of a sudden, the water lifted into a huge snake-like thing, carrying Dusty along for the ride, It slithered around for a while, occasionally rearing its head or twitching fastly, and then it suddenly stopped and dropped harmlessly, drenching the nearby land. "Now then. I do believe you just had your first bath in about, say, 3000 nights?" (OOC: Now, who said that Aqua Marine was only generosity? )

Aqua smiled slightly. "Im going to give it slight ripples, now. Okay?" With that, Aqua's horn glowed, and the water started to mush in one direction, then another.

Aqua smiled. "Ats the stuff! now, just push your backlegs back, and pull forward with your forelegs." Aqua demostrated a simple paddle. (Think doggy paddle!)

Aqua looked at him. "Theres nothing in it. Just clear water, just deep enough that it would reach your neck. You would have to hold your head down to not be able to breath!"

Aqua, now at the edge of the river, began focusing. "You guys might want to stand back..." With this, a pillar of water rose into the air, smashing down a good 3 feet away and making a good indent into the ground. "Thats a bit harder 'n' it looks. Now, who's going first?" Aqua walked a little to the right, and dug up a surfboard. "What? you thought id never done this here before?"

Aqua stuffed all of her merchandise back into the wagon, locked it, and began walking to the outside of Ponyville. "Ah, yes! If I remember correctly, we will need to drop by the river to grab some water!" With this, she ran off sprinting towards the closest way to the river.

Aqua grabbed an Opal Necklace and two Shell Bracelets. "Sapphires a gift from me; Its just not like me to charge for gifts to ones parents." Aqua glared sideways at the strange pony. "That is, if there not already rich as can be, like this fella right here. Oh yes! Surfing lessons! I use the same little stretch of water I use for swimming, but I give ya a surfboard. I teach yeh a paddle, and a way to stay balanced. I then use my powers to create a stationary wave. If you stay balanced, then I see no reason why you couldn't on the real thing, and so I take the buyer to a lake, give em the surfboard, and create another wave there. This one I make move. If there successful, then they just learned how to surf. If not, I give em as many tries until they get it as they like."

Aqua looked at the bag of gold. And back at Dusty. "Its simple; I make a shallow lil pool, small enough that it would be hard to drown in it. Its a long stretch, though. Anyways, while on land, I teach ya a simple paddle. To swim, you have to repeat that paddle, and make it to the end without walking in the water. Once you can do that repeatedly, I give ya a little pond to swim in. The objective there is to make 3 laps. If successful, you have learned how to swim. If unsuccessful, I give you a few more stretches in the line." Aqua smiled.

Aqua looked back, and smiled. So you want to know how the sea is, eh? Salty air, endless looking body of water, and sand. Lots and lots of sand. One of my friends almost starved when he refused to break a promise to count it all! Aqua laughed heartily, even if it was a bit of an inside joke. "And no; I don't understand why he's standing about when he's already bought 2 things. So you can go ahead first." Aqua's face contorted into a confused expression, and then into a exclaimed one. "Oh! I forgot to put up the sign!" Aqua walked into the non-watered part of the wagon, and pulled out a small sign. It read; Swimming/Surfing Lessons. 2 Bits. "THAT explains why ive been getting less sales today."Aqua pulled out a Sapphire Necklace. "You know, I find other jewels on my walks along the beaches, too. I just... Prefer the Sapphires. Either way, there mined naturally by erosion, and are as smooth as a newborn foal's bottom!" Aqua set down the necklace on the table. "What else are ya buyin?"

"I guess I know how to keep you from thieving, huh-" Aqua caught herself. "T-That is if you ARE a thief! Heh..." Aqua had hid an Opal Necklace, each perfectly round, with a circular pendant at the end. Inside of it was the largest sapphire Aqua had ever found. She scanned over the jewelry dropped, hoping that its hiding place was not found... That is, until Dusty put all of it back into his bag.

Aqua remembered Appleoosa fondly, as she had made her best sales there. "Well hello there, Star and Shanna! My names Aqua. Aqua Marine. I do hope you enjoy the display that im about to perform. I do this every 30 minutes, you see, to attract customers." On that note, the top of the wagon erupted. Water spewed out in a high column, soaking anyone who wasn't near the table. After 1 minute, the water collapsed back into the wagon. Aqua, making sure not to waste anything, used her horn to gather up all the water that fell to the ground into a big ball, and then threw it in with the rest. Aqua smirked. "Whaddaya think of that?"

Aqua turned her head from the suspicious other pony to greet the two newcomers. "Welcome, Welcome! All the water comes from the ocean, as do the shells, opals and sapphires!" Aqua took the moment to use her horn, creating a light blue glow around the water. "I just give it a little tug, and its as light as a feather! Oh, and yes, these are all hand-collected, made, and distributed by me!"

Aqua was a bit suspicious. He looked and sounded poor and roughed up, yet he had a bit bag full to bursting. And considering that others only had enough to get through a day on them... She adjusted her seat so she could see all of her stock, took the bits, and gave him a Hermit Shell and a Broken Opal. "Thank yeh." Aqua, on the outside, remained cool and collected. On the inside, she was freaking out. Was this man a thief? would he take her wagon and run? So many questions. From this point forward, she decided, she would keep her eyes on his hooves at all times. "Um sir? could you please make sure I can see your hooves? Store policy, to prevent thiefs."

She sighed. Was he really trying to trade a gold necklace here? "Sir, If I traded with you for that, you would have my entire stock. If you have my entire stock, how am I supposed to give atleast a few of them off to the poor? So I have to deny your offer. Oh, and nice snake." Aqua sighs. Was he going to buy something with bits, or not?

Aqua listened intently. "You see, I was born right near the ocean. Been swimmin since I was a lil foal. Been told im really good at it, too. Either way, im the only thing keepin my parents from having to spend the night in a cardboard box." she sighed. "But it seems my trinkets just arent selling as well as usual... Oh, and nothing living in those. I make sure of it."

"Howdy Stranger! Days falling fast, why ya hanging out er all alone?" She saw him look up and gag at the water. "Take half de sea with ya in de's thing? Er, what ya selling?" "Oh, nothin much. just some trinkets. Gotta drum up money for my parents." Whoever this was, he was uncannily like some of the people she met in Manehattan. But she had been taught not to judge by first sight, so she was willing to give him a chance... ((Put a comma after fast. Otherwise, nothing that isn't part of the accent.))

You could say its simple. You could say that its elaborate. Either way, it was a wagon. A wagon full of water and trinkets, with the water glowing. This sight was the sight seen by anypony who was walking around Town Square at High Noon. Aqua Marine collapsed. She had just dragged this thing, with some help from her horn, All the way from Manehattan. You could say she was tired, but you would be underestimating how much wear and tear it took on the poor pony. She looked absolutely ragged; As if she was ambushed by a pack of Diamond Dogs. All she wanted to do was find an inn, and sleep until Celestia stopped raising the sun. But she had to drum up some business. "Aagh... 3 hours and 4 sales... Not my finest day." Aqua Marine mumbled as pony after pony walked by her little stand. A few of them commented on how much it reminded them of somepony named 'Trixie' and her wagon. Aqua herself had never heard of her, and from what she heard about her, she didn't want too. Apparently, she was a big showoff; someone who thinks that she's the center of Equestria. A few hours later, she had sold 3 more Opal Necklaces, 10 Shell Bracelets, and 1 Sapphire. Overall, it was a poor day. But she had to stay until the moon was at its highest, or the sign on her wagon would be a lie. Aqua cheered herself up with a simple thought; "Heh... Maybe ill get a few new friends?"

Hmmmmmmmmmm... Yes, Yes. Quite. Be right back, gotta get my Wysteria shaped MAJIK CAPTHARA.

Its easy! First you must love My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. You have now converted to Bronism, after that simple step!

Yeah... Kinda hate having parents who grew up in the Bible Belt. As a side note: Bronies now have a religion! its called
