Quest 1: Meet the Mermares!
Fluttershy: Heehee! Of course it does, Hoofbeard! Now: could the two of you could please help me set up the picnic blanket over by the shore? Miss Cheerilee's class will be here any moment now!
Fluttershy: Ohh, I'm so excited! Thank you so much for helping me organize this event, you two... I'm sure Ponyville's first "Meet the Mermares" picnic social will be just lovely!
Jewel: It's our pleasure. After all, we've only just arrived...this might be the local foals' first time saying "hello" to us in person! It's important that we make a good impression...
Captain Hoofbeard: Arrrr, that it is, Jewel me lovely... And thank ye kindly for invitin' me as well, Fluttershy!
Captain Hoofbeard: I know I ain't no mermare, strictly speakin'...but I AM a mermare's Very Special Some-Pirate - and an amphibious one, besides! Glad that counts for somethin'!
Fluttershy: Heehee! Of course it does, Hoofbeard! Now: could the two of you could please help me set up the picnic blanket over by the shore? Miss Cheerilee's class wil be here any moment now!

Quest 2: Hearts, Hooves & Fins, Too!
Fluttershy: In fact... Hoofbeard? Jewel? Why don't the three of us all take turns telling it together! It all started when my friends and I traveled to Horseshoe Bay for a day of beachtime fun...
Jewel: ...And THAT is all the ways that Mermares are different than Sirens, Kelpies, and Seaponies! I know that can be confusing to land creatures sometimes...
Truffle: Woooowwww... I'm entertained AND informed!
Pipsqueak: Ooh! I have a question! I have a question! Mr. Hoofbeard, how did you and Miss Jewel become Very Special The-Two-Of-Yous? And also...why do you have gills!?
Fluttershy: Ha ha! That's a very good question...and appropriate for the time of year, too since Hearts and Hooves Day is coming up! And I should know, because I was there for some of it...
Fluttershy: In fact... Hoofbeard? Jewel? Why don't the three of us all take turns telling it together! It all started when my friends and I traveled to Horseshoe Bay for a day of beachtime fun...

Battle Stages
1st Round: Hearts, Hooves, and... Huh?
Captain Hoofbeard: Yes! Oh, it was a brave and heroic display of piraticality, it was, too! I buckled SO many swashes that afternoon, it was really... (AHEM--) ...Really something.
Fluttershy: ...And after we docked at the Gallopinghost Islands, my friends made a VERY important discovery: the map Hoofbeard was looking for was hidden in the lair of a GHOST CRAB!
Fluttershy: But, of course, Hoofbeard and I weren't there for that part... We were still on the ship with Applejack and Spike, drinking pineapple juice and talking about our feelings--
Captain Hoofbeard: NO WAIT-- (AHEM--) Er... Pay this kind-hearted and fuzzy-memoried friend of mine no heed, me young hearties! For while she surely means well, her account be somewhat...muddled! Yes.
Captain Hoofbeard: For ya see, I was NOT cowerin' on me ship out of a sense of misplaced pride and generalzed paranoia, but rather...fightin' the ghost crab for me map!

| Okay... I was there for THIS part of the story, too, and... None of that actually happened? Come on, Hoofbeard! | |||
2nd Round: Hearts, Hooves, & Honesty
Fluttershy: Heehee! That's very true, Hoofbeard. Why don't we all retell that last part of the story together...the REAL story, this time!
Captain Hoofbeard: And then I said, "HA HARRR! AVAST, YE SCURVY CRAB!" And then the CRAB said... Well, the crab kept mum, on account of how crabs ain't the sociable type, but--
Jewel: Oh, Hoofbeard... You'll have to forgive my Very Special Some-Pirate, foals - apparently, he still thinks he has to tell tall tales to prove how worthy he is.
Jewel: I didn't fall in love with him because he fought a sea monster for me, or because he's good with a cutlass or can sail all seven seas... I fell in love with him because he CARES!
Jewel: He's the one who spent all those years trying to find me... And once he did, he's the one who convinced my family to accept our love for one another! That's more than enough for me.
Captain Hoofbeard: Aheh... Right you are, my Jewel... And apologies for spinnin' you lads and lasses a yarn.
Captain Hoofbeard: Unlike a certain orange pony I know, we pirates don't always take to honesty natural-like! But we can always try and be better...especially when it's for the ones we love!

■ AFTER THE CONCLUSION OF ALL STAGES
Captain Hoofbeard: ...And so, after my impassioned speechifyin' - and with me matey Fluttershy waxin' poetical on how love survives even over vast distances - Jewel's family welcomed me with open fins!
Captain Hoofbeard: And to answer your question, me piratical young colt...the gills are courtesy of Twilight Sparkle's magic! A gift, so that my sweetheart and me can breathe the same waters!
Pipsqueak: Wowwwww... So romantic...!! And SO PIRATEY!!
Captain Hoofbeard: Har har harrrr! Right you are, son - that be Jewel and me in a nutshell! Or should I say an oyster shell...?
Ghost Crab: Click-click click-click-click click-click! ("SO ROMANTIC!!!")
