Smarty of the Sea [by Maple]

Inspired by @WingieFluff 's post about fluffies in tsunamis.


You are Smarty!

You are the biggest, strongest, prettiest, smartest fluffy that’s EVER LIVED!

You have a large herd next to the Big Water, big enough that you can have more special friends than you have hoofsies! You also have a ton of toughies, you let them have as many special friends as they want as long as you get to have special huggies with them first. So you have LOTS of foals. Tons. Living by the water is dangerous but you’re a brave Smarty! Who cares if some of the dumber foals drown in the tide pools, you’ll just make more!

A loud noise startled you from your nap in the warm sand, your startled gasp causing you to inhale sand and send you into a coughing fit. You looked around for the source, but the loud tone noise seemed to be coming from everywhere at once. A crescendo of noise came from the startled fluffies of your herd as they tried to figure out what could be making such a horrible noise.

“SHADDUP!” You snapped to both the fluffies and whatever was screeching. They settled, but the noise continued. You grumbled to yourself, if it didn’t shut up soon you’d send your toughies to go find it and make it regret waking you up!

“SMAWWWWTYYYYY!!” a high pitched wail rang out over the much quieter nervous chattering. With an annoyed snort you got to your hooves and stomped off to see what stupid problem you needed to solve now.

Hopping over some green slimy rocks, you saw your eldest son crying into his hooves by the tide pools, his toughies guard trying to comfort him. You named him Junior, as he shared your same pale yellow fluff and teal mane.

“Wha’ happen?!” You snorted. “Who huwt Smawty’s bestest?!”

“Sandy am gone!” He wailed.

“Wha?” Sandy was his future special friend. Just a few weeks ago you made all the young fillies line up so he could pick his first special friend. You didn’t know why he liked the dusty brown pegasus, but that’s who he chose. Fine by you, you got to enf the pretty ones yourself. They always played together, so you didn’t think she’d try to run off like so many of your special friends had. “Whewe she gu?!”

“Big wawa take.” One of his toughies replied. “Woud noisie gib Sandy scawdies, she faww into wawa.”

You turned to glare at the water. How dare it! “Yu gib back Sandy! Bad wawa!”

The waves crashed into the sand, and your rage grew. “Smawty am tawkin’ to yu!” You stomped towards them, and the edge of the foam retreated slightly. “Yu gib bak Juniow’s spechow fwend WITE NAO!”

You stomped your hoof firmly into the foam, and the wave retreated further, running from your attack. You reared up and chased after the foam, ready to slam your hooves into it once again. You were more powerful than the big wawa! All those other fluffies were dumb to be too scared to get near it, you would beat it into submission and make it so it would never drown a fluffy again! You grinned, galloping through the wet sand. You would even make it give you the good sea nummies, not just the goopy ones you could get on the rocks! You would be more powerful than any fluffy ever!

A shadow washed over you, and you looked up, skidding to a stop through the sand.

Before you was a wall of water, larger than anything you’d ever seen before. Bigger than even the buildings the humans lived in. The top edge curled down towards you as your bowels released your scardie poop.

You turned to run, but the wave was faster than you. All at once the water crashed down around you, slamming you into the beach. You struggled as your lungs filled with salty water, burning your nose and throat. It couldn’t end like this! You were the greatest smarty ever! You tumbled along the sand, slamming into rocks and debris until finally your head popped above the water.

For just a blissful moment you were able to cough the water up and replace it with air before you were dragged back under. You saw the tall buildings around you, as if you were very high up in the air! Had the big water fought them too?

You started to get hazy, your vision blurring as you struggled to swim. You couldn’t die! You were the greatest smarty that had ever lived! You were the best fluffy! The strongest! Who would end your special friends if you couldn’t?!

With a burst of energy in your chest you kicked out your hooves. Your front hoof knocked against something, and you managed to grab onto it. It pulled you up to the surface once again, where you found yourself clinging to a broken bit of a plastic cooler. You dragged yourself on top of it as it rushed through the streets of the city. You vomited up seawater and started catching your breath.

“Heh… HEWP!” You cried. “HEWP!!”

“Hold on!” A voice replied. You clung tightly to your plastic raft, hopeful. It was a human voice, they’d save you!

A hand shot out from a nearby building, catching the corner of your raft and dragging it towards a broken window. You reached out to hug it as you were pulled in.

“What the…” a man looked down at you, waist deep in the water and bleeding from a long gash down his arm. “A fluffy?! I thought you were a kid!”

“Am Smawty! Tank’oo, nice Mistah!” You hugged his hand tighter. “Am nyu daddeh?!”

“Oh, fuck no.” The man shoved you back onto the plastic lid. “Absolutely fucking not.”

“But… am bestest smawty…”

“Fuck you. Good luck out there.” He pushed you back towards the window.

“NU! DUMMEH DU WHAT SMAWTY SAY!” You screeched.

The man paused. You smiled smugly. You showed him who’s really in charge here.

Then your hooves slipped as he tipped the lid up, dumping you into the rushing water outside the window.

“NU! NU WET SMAW-” again you plunged into the rushing water, your lungs filling once again.

Your hooves frantically searched for another lifeboat, anything that would pull you back up to the surface once again, but found nothing. You hacked and coughed as your vision started to get dark, chest burning from the cold liquid filling it.

This couldn’t be your end! You were the best smarty ever! There had never been a fluffy like you! You were one of a kind, the greatest fluffy with the prettiest fluff who gave the best special huggies!

Why wouldn’t anyone help such a good and talented fluffy like you?!

I just couldn’t shake the idea of a smarty so smug about the ocean running away from him after reading your post! It was too fucking funny!

I do not know if the story is inspired, but it reminds me of a Roman emperor who made war on the sea and launched his army to hit it, and there were even deaths.

Honestly, human emperors are the smartys of humanity.
