"What?!" shouted Twilight, her voice filling the whole Royal Canterlot Stage. Ponies quickly dismissed it as they were preparing for the most biggest and most computer-using stage play ever held in Equestria, based off the sunken ship Titanic, which left from United Ponies to Canterlot, before it hit an iceberg and sank on it's maiden voyage. "I cannot do a main role! Specially not in a romantic play!" shouted Twilight again to the director.

"Twilight, we need this play to give peace to the souls who were taken to the skies on that fateful day. Also, the story of your granny will also be revealed." said the Director, much to the confused look of Twilight. "These were the Princess' words, not mine, but my thoughts are just the same. Twilight, you cannot quit on us after all this researching and acting, please! This play will be watched by ponies for centuries!"

"I guess that is one way to look at it... When will Granny Sparkle come here anyway?" asked Twilight, looking at her hooves. I don't really meet Granny that much since I was two, but everyone tells me I look just like her. Is the story we are acting upon is really her own story? thought Twilight as she realized that Director Blueberry was pushing her onto the stage.

"Get ready, Twilight, this is Apple Rich and your show, you cannot bring it down." said Blueberry as she went behind curtains. Twilight gulped at the curtain as she heard Spike.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Gentleponies and gentlecolts, welcome to the biggest play in the history of Equestria! This is based of true events of the famous sinking of Titanic, and the old life of our own food show host, Granny Sparkle! The special effects are very good, you will really feel you are in water on a ship! All thanks to Vinyl Scratch, our digital master. Now be ready as you see the grand tale of..." said Spike as he moved off the stage with a grin just before it could be called creepy. "Titanic."

The curtain lifted to show a underwater scene, in the middle was the magic submarine that is used to explore the seas of Equestria. the scene zoomed into the machine to show three unicorn stallions working in it. One had a brown mane with a silver body, with an test tube as his cutie mark. He wore blue work goggles. The second stallion had various shades of blue in his body and mane, looking just like the ocean. He had a cutie mark which resembled a map, similarly he was working on a underwater map. The third stallion had a red mane and brown body, and had gold as his cutie mark. They were all working when the third one spoke.

"Alright, we got a huge metal thing coming at us." said the stallion, but no one cared.

"It would just be a iron deposit, Magicboom." said the first one.

"Oh yeah? why not let's just check it out then." said Magicboom in a angry voice. "You really are not a good partner, Sea Tube."

"I could just say the same about you." replied Sea Tube bluntly, closing his eyes.

"Just, shut up you two! Look, it looks like an... ship." said the third stallion.

"Wh-What? Is that right, Eagle?!" said Magicboom as the two rushed to the window to join their partner. "Looks like a ghost ship or something. Nothing like we have previously discovered."

"Ghosts aren't real." said Sea Tube, already loading a program that made a magic machine go out into the ocean, connected to the submarine with a tube. "Now let's see what treasures it holds."

Sea Tube drove the machine into the ship, occasionally breaking wooden furniture that floated in front of them. Then they entered a room in which a king size bed was floating. "A first class room, always treasured." said Sea Tube, smiling. He pushed the bed aside and then saw a vault of sorts. "Got the treasure." said Sea Tube as he got the box and went all the way back to the submarine.

"Oh yeah!" shouted Eagle Wing.

"We got the treasure! Emeralds, rubies, diamonds, gold!" said Magicboom, grinning to himself. "I wonder what I'll be!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"A PICTURE?!" screamed Magicboom. "All we got from that huge ship was an picture?!"

They were standing upon a ship in the ocean, a laboratory ocean research ship, the S.S. Celestia. They were surrounded by people trying to clear the water and dust from the picture.

"At least we got something that could reveal the secrets!" shouted Eagle back at Magicboom.

"The picture is done!" a green maned blue pegasus mare said, her cutie mark hidden by her wings. All the other people crowded over her, looking at the picture.

"Holy Celestia!" said Sea Tube as he saw a sketch of a mare looking just like Miss Twilight back at Canterlot Castle, laying on a bed wearing the fabled diamond, The Stomach of the Sea. He then glanced over to the signature, that said 'Jack Orange'. "This mare, she is so beautiful! I have seen her, guys! She is Princess Celestia's young student, Twilight Sparkle! But she is not... she and us were not even born eighty years ago!"

"Then how... how did she get in the picture?!" asked Eagle Wing. "She couldn't have time traveled, did she?"

"Eighty years ago... Let's broadcast this, guys, somepony will come up with the truth." said Magicboom.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Twilight stared at a sketch of herself in the TV, unsure what to think. She was visiting her granny, and her granny was standing right beside her. Her granny looked just like Twilight- same coloration and same everything. Except that her hair was white, wrinkles all over the body, and wearing a lab coat.

"How could my picture be possibly in the Titanic!?!" said Twilight, walking around in circles. Then she saw her granny was staring right at the TV. "Granny? Granny where are you?"

"Huh? Oh, right here, dear." said Granny Sparkle. "I was just thinking back."

"Thinking?" asked Twilight as she saw the painting closely again. "Oh see, Granny, the cutie mark in this picture is not my cutie mark!" said Twilight as she pointed to the cutie mark of the mare wearing the stomach of the sea. It was a rose surrounded by stars. "Now where did I see that cutie mark... Hmm..." thought Twilight out loud as she walked into the other room. Granny Sparkle then dialed the number given in the TV.

"Hello? Hello is this Eagle Wing?" said Granny. "Oh yes, I have some information regarding the picture you found in the sunken wreck of Titanic. Yes, about the mare. Actually, the mare in the photo is me. I am Granny Sparkle, I host the Canterlot Cook Show? I expect to see you soon."

"What. What did you just say to that man?!" asked Twilight, her eyes wide and mouth open as she stood in the doorway. "This mare, I mean, you, look just like me! My mom doesn't look this much like me! This is impossible! This is scientifically impossible!"  

"My dear Twilight, it might be scientifically impossible. But everything is magically possible."  said Granny Sparkle as she took off her lab coat to reveal her cutie mark, a red rose surrounded by a shower of yellowish white stars.

Author's notes- I know this is short, but it is just a Prolouge. The story is based off the motion picture Titanic, as you already know. Feedback would be appreciated. This does not mean I'll not be doing my other well known fic, Trixie's Gettin' Back on Her Hooves. Please tell me if there are any mistakes. =D ~~~ Shadow Raikou. Next Chapter: Chapter 1: Set Sail!
