OASIS [sign up]

[FakeSmile]

The mare examined the outside of the shop. She was impressed by the architecture and the items seen from the window. She walked up to the door as she formed a small smile. As she was just about to open the door, the door opened by its self. The mare was surprised to see the door open by its self. She assumed it had to be a gate that only let authorized ponies inside. The mare let out a triumph laugh; her surface form was able to fool the surface ponies technology. She happily march into the store as she said,
Peninsula: This armory's defense system is impressive, but let us see if their wares are too!

[Rush of MLP]

Rush raised an eyebrow and chuckled once again. He followed behind her through the door.

[FakeSmile]

The mare gasped as she was surrounded by the fashion weapons and fashion armor. Peninsula dashed toward the clothing section and started to look through the armor. A lot of them had the beach name on it or bad beach puns. After searching for a while, the mare let out a gasp. She found an armor that was coloured like the sea and had a jellyfish on it. The mare smiled big as she took the armor off the rack. Turning toward Rush she with excitement,
Peninsula: Oh My Glub! This armor has a jellyfish on it! Can you BELIEVE it!? This fashion armor is worthy for The Great Peninsula to wear!
The mare put the shirt over the one she was currently wearing. The color of the pink floral armor poked out and her shades fell to the floor. Not noticing they did, she accidentally stepped on them when she was about to walk toward Rush. The Mare fell to the floor. With the broken shades in her hoofs, she clinch them tight. A single tear rolled down her face as she said,
Peninsula: This land technology is no match for my strength. . .

[Rush of MLP]

Rush gasped. "Are you ok?" He asked, moving a couple steps closer. "None of the glass went into your hooves?"

[FakeSmile]

The mare looked up at the pony with a confused expression. Why was he concerned more about her than the technology? She decided to look down at her hoof. The shades didn't hurt her, which made his question even more confusing. Looking back up at him she said,
Peninsula: Um, yes? Who cares about me! My eye protectors are broken! And now I have to endure more torture from the sun!
The mare fell face down on the ground and let out a groan. As she laid in defeat she whispered to her self,
Peninsula: Where is FreeFlow with my eye protectors? . . .

[PlatinumJoystick]

Joy was browsing the aisles, not having picked anything out yet. He had seen a couple of items that caught his eye, but had wanted to keep browsing. He paid as little mind as possible to the new arrivals in the store.

((I'm assuming this is the same store as before.))

[Rush of MLP]

Rush sighed.

"A pony's well-being is much more important than a pair of sunglasses." He said, looking directly into her eyes. "I'll buy you another pair of sunglasses."

((I do believe it is.))

[FakeSmile]

Peninsula: No, I wouldn't be able to accept it! I already have salmon getting me new. . . Sandglasses? Imagine how they would feel if I showed up with sandglasses after I sent them to find me some! As kind as your gesture is, I must decline!
The mare said as got up from the ground. If she couldn't protect her eyes, maybe she could find a way to defend them without the sandglasses. The mare walked over to the head protectors and started to examine them. They were all different shapes, sizes and colours. She didn't see how they could be to any use, so she walked over to another section. A little bottle with a sun on it caught her eyes and she shuffled over to it. It had a sun with sandglasses on and  said it could protect from the suns harsh rays. The mare smiled with glee, maybe this is something the surface ponies pour in their eyes to protect them! Peninsula picked up the bottle but notice there were different types of sun protector liquids. She examined each bottle carefully, trying to see which one was better.

[Rush of MLP]

"Alright." Rush said, shrugging off the salmon comment.

He followed her over to the sunscreen, and watched patiently as she decided which she wanted.

[FakeSmile]

Peninsula stared at the bottles intensely. She had no idea what made them different beside the numbers and colours. The mare had to think on this for a long time; a decision like this determined her ability to withstand the suns ray and she wasn't about to fail because she picked the wrong bottle.

[Rush of MLP]

"If you're wondering which one is best to protect you from the sun, it would be the one with the highest SPF." Rush said.

[FakeSmile]

Her stare intensified by ten folds. This new knowledge only opened a door to more questions. She had no idea what that mean. The made only assumed that SPF stood for Sun Protection Field and the higher the higher the defense. She took the bottle with the highest SPF into her mouth. Now she had armor, she needed a weapon. The made went over to another section. She saw some weird plastic objects and decided to head toward it. The mare gasp as she got closer. She saw a container that had colour tentacles. The mare stared at the tentacles in horror. These sick land ponies must be harvesting these tentacles from her people.

[Rush of MLP]

((I'm not quite sure what that's supposed to be.))

Rush followed Peninsula and heard her gasp.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

[FakeSmile]

The mare's words got stuck on her fear. If the surface ponies were harvesting the tentacles and colouring them, what would they use a sea pony like her as? The mare slowly opened her mouth. The wider her mouth got, the louder her scream did. Filled to the brim with fear, Peninsula dashed out of the store. The store's alarm went off as she ran away from the horror armory.

[Rush of MLP]

Rush cringed at the scream. He tried to catch up with her as she ran away.

"Hey! Peninsula! Hold on!" He called out, trying not to trip on the rough terrain.

[PlatinumJoystick]

Upon hearing the alarm and scream, Joy promptly left the store, not quite able to see the culprit, but definitely able to hear her. He followed the noise as far as the beach before deciding that he might want to stay behind for now, enjoy his vacation for awhile.


However, he thought, It could be some form of fun. Ah, whatever, I'll see who it could've been and stop there. Curiosity getting the better of him, he, from a distance, followed the noise.

[FakeSmile]

Peninsula ran as fast as she could toward her fort. The screaming died down as she started to get tired. As she was running, a pony threw a water bottle on the ground. She took a hard step on the bottle and slipped on it. The mare fell on her back; the fall knocked the wind out of her and she laid on the ground trying to catch her breath. The sun's rays were digging into her eyes as she laid in defeat. The mare regretted coming onto land; these land ponies and their sun were crueler than she imagined.

[Rush of MLP]

Rush ran until his lungs burned, until he finally fell flat on his face about six feet from where Peninsula had fallen. He sat up and cough out the sand that had gotten into his mouth, breathed deeply for a few seconds, then looked at Peninsula.

"What was that all about?" He coughed, knocking some sand off his hoodie and mane.

[Doomato]

Doomato pillaged the beach, kicking sandcastles and making a mockery of the lifeguards, not a care in the world.

[FakeSmile]

The mare's gaze rested on Rush as she continued to gasp for air. She couldn't form words so she rolled over and try to stand up. With each gasp of air, she slowly fell back down and laid on her back. Through her heavy breathing she whispered,
Peninsula: This is the end of The Great Peninsula.. .
