While Pinkie Pie is talking to the police, Applejack and Fluttershy float in the water. The shy mermaid now recovers consciousness and feels less dizzy. Applejack puts her hand on Fluttershy’s back to give her support.

Applejack: Are you okay sugarcube? I think I totaled the scooter, but I wanna know if I totaled you. I would never forgive myself if…
Fluttershy: I am fine. Kinda dizzy and couldn’t breathe. Now that I am in the water I can. (looks at her tail) Well, so much for walking today in the pier, hehe.
Applejack: This is all my fault. I am sorry, really sorry. We got in troble with dah law and we are no closer to resolving this mess. At least Sunset Shimmer is now on her way here, and both Pinkie and Scootaloo are pulling us outta the fire with the police. *looks at Pinkie’s scooter* I will need to repay mah cousin.
Fluttershy nods and hugs Applejack.

Fluttershy: I know everything is gonna be okay. (she moves her tailfins, that used to be cute yellow feet less than an hour ago) I can get used to this. (touches her earfins) I think the expanded earfins are nice. I know I don’t have a mirror, but I am sure they are cute. (Her dress starts disappearing as if it was made of sugar, but neither of them notice it, due to the shock and adrenaline and the talk)
Applejack: Ah, Ah think you are accepting this situation… disturbingly well, sugarcube.
Fluttershy: Well, you know that our hybrid forms tend to be quite temporary, so being a mermaid will not be such a big deal. Besides, you know that I love to dive and explore the depths with my wetsuit. Now I think I be able to enjoy it even more, without being constrained to the duration of my oxygen tank… I will need to learn how to swim with a tail, though.
Applejack: I’d wish Rainbow Dash could take our predicament with such a mature and grounded attitude. The gal right nah is two trees short an orchard in her mind. We will need to make her understand… or restrain her. Ya still have dah geodes with ya, right?
Fluttershy: Yes, of course, they are still in my… cleavage. *wheeze* But first… let me try something *wheeze*
(The pink-haired mermaid scoops some water with her hand and pours it behind her ears, wetting her gills)
Fluttershy: Kinda what I expected… Just like an axolotl… as long as I keep the water/air interface between my gills, they can absorb oxygen from the air, otherwise I’d need to be submerged all time.
Applejack: Yeah, I remember some of that biology lesson. It is funny to hear ya talkin’ fancy science, you almost remind me of…
Fluttershy: Twilight!
Applejack: Yeah, that nerdy gal, you almost sounded like her.
Fluttershy;No, I mean, Twilight is right behind you! Hi Twilight, how have you been? *scoops more water again and wets her gills*
Twilight (just emerged behind Applejack and about to lose it): Applejack, you got some ‘splainin’ to do! Why is Fluttershy a mermaid???
Applejack: Oh, sheesh, here we go…
Twilight: You had ONE job, Applejack, ONE job!!!!!
