"You know they are lying." said Magicboom, gaining speed with the other two stallions to the chopper pad. "How come she is even alive?"

"You grandmother lived to be a hundred and twenty years old, you shouldn't ask that." said Eagle Wing. "And she looks just the the picture!"

Sea Tube smiled at the two stallions as they reached the landing pad. In a few minutes a chopper appeared on the horizon, the peak of Canterlot Castle the only sign that there was land. It landed as Sea Tube went ahead to help Granny Sparkle down, followed by Twilight. Pinkie Pie followed Twilight out, and finally Gummy, Spike, Owloysius and the pet hawk of Granny, Speedy, much to the strange looks of the crew, when Speedy flew past them.

"I am very delighted to see and hold the hands of the mare who not only survived the sinking, but also wore the Stomach of the Sea." said Sea Tube, helping Granny Sparkly into the submarine, which was docked just beside the pad, specially placed for the age of Granny Sparkle. "I hope you are ready to go back to the Titanic."

"Why yes, dear. And you three must be...?" asked Granny, looking at Sea Tube with her eyes that looked just the same as the day Titanic was due to leave.

"I am Sea Tube, madam. I am in charge of the whole operation." said Sea Tube, opening the hatch which led into the submarine.

"Eagle Wing, maam. I was on the TV for the information. You looked really beautiful, really, in that picture, and over the years your beauty hasn't left." said Eagle as he quickly realized that he was actually calling Miss Twilight beautiful, that just met with a clearly visible blush, however, Twilight didn't notice it, instead helping Granny.

"And this is Magicboom, I'm your big fan. Nearly all good recipes I make are from your show. I am the co-founder of the expedition to the Titanic."

"Why thank you, you three are perfect gentle stallions." said Granny Sparkle, who was now adjusting to the darkness of the submarine.

"Granny, actually Pinkie, I and these gentlecolts wan't you to tell us the whole story of the Titanic... because more information will be more good for the Canterlot research facility. If that is okay with you?" asked Twilight, making Granny Sparkle stop, thinking back, thinking back eighty years.

"Why not, dear." said Granny as everyone was safely inside the submarine, when Magicboom locked the door and started the submarine. This was not the same submarine they handled while discovering Titanic, instead a more roomy one with bigger windows, unlike the small circular window in the littered-with-scientific-stuff submarine, The Hydra. The submarine, named The Whale then made a loud noise, as the crew above released the submarine into the water. Magicboom then just steered the submarine vessel down, listening to the others carefully.  

"The ship, when the collision happened, made a dent that filled the front compartments with water, making the ship lift up. When the pressure couldn't take it any more, SPLAT! The ship broke into two. The front half went down first and speedily, as the other half went down slowly." explained Sea Tube with the use of hand signals and a chart that depicted the sinking.

"I think she already knows that." said Eagle, met with just a stern look from Sea Tube.

"Just shut up!" replied Sea Tube,

"See, this behavior of yours is exactly why me and Magicboom call you Sea Brute!" replied Eagle Wing, as Sea Tube turned around to face Magicboom.

"You call me what now?" asked Sea Tube, as Magicboom ducked in his chair.

"I, uh, I, hey! We are here." shouted Magicboom, pushing Sea Tube out of the way.

Granny Sparkle looked at the wreck of the Titanic, imagining the way it used to be on the day her maiden voyage started. Then she sat down onto the cushion, which was placed on the chair, and waited for everybody to settle. Magicboom kept sitting in his 'pilot' chair, Sea Tube was on a cushion placed on the floor. Twilight and Pinkie sat in two separate bean bags, Pinkie sitting in a awkward pose for a pony, just like Lyra back home in Ponyville. Granny Sparkle started.

"I, Sunshine 'Rose' Sparkle, was a very rich Canterlot pony belonging to a rich family, just like any other Canterlot unicorn. We visited our relatives at United Ponies by a small passenger ship, but we booked the 7-day cruise on the RMS Titanic for the return." told Granny as the scene shifted to a dock crowded with thousands, no, nearly millions of ponies either waving goodbye or going aboard. The time was dark, for it was five in the morning. "The RMS Titanic, the most luxurious ship at the time, was about to leave for Canterlot in twenty minutes, and ponies were rushing up in a stampede." The scene zoomed into a carriage from which neatly and beautifully dressed Canterlot unicorns going out. A stallion looking like a younger Fancy Pants, just the hairstyle and hair color different, being brown with a spiky hairstyle. One could see his cutie mark through his tuxedo, which was three bags of money. He went up and opened the door when a beautiful mare looking just like Twilight (Played by Twilight with an altered cutie mark) stepped out, wearing a cap and a dress, looking at the ship of luxury and dreams. "My family wanted me to marry Mr. Fancy Gold, for we would get even more money. He was a gentle stallion and all, but he was just too unfocused and unloving. We climbed aboard the Titanic, our carriage was taken aboard on the luggage deck. As soon as entering, we saw the grand staircase, and a fancy first class restruant.

The scene shifted to show a bar in the dock, where four stallions were playing a game of blackjack. One of them was a light brown haired, sky blue land pony and another was a black haired, green land pony.

"20." said the sky stallion.

"19." said the green one.

"12." said another.

"18." said the last.

"We win. We get the tickets." said the green one. "What time is it, Loe?"

"Titanic leaves for Canterlot in five minutes!" the bartender, 'Loe', replied. He motioned for them to leave.

"Here ya go, Apple Green." said the last stallion as he threw the tickets only to be caught by Apple Green.

"Let's run, Jackie!" said Apple to the sky pony as they both rushed through the crowd on-board the Titanic. They had to wait all five minutes right before they were let in, after all the unicorns were aboard. They got into their cabin, where two more ponies were already resting.

"Hi, I'm Jack Orange. This is my friend Apple Green." Introduced Jack, as the other two ponies just turned over. "All right, be modest. Hey Apple, let's head to the stern!"

They rushed to the stern of the ship, looking out to the ocean and spotting dolphins. All the ponies on the docks were looking like ants, we were already on course to Canterlot. They were being watched by Captain Sea Apple, who was drinking her tea on the bridge. (Played by Applejack in a captain's outfit with her trademark hat having an Royal Canterlot Line logo, and using her Canterlot accent.)

"I look forward to sailin' smooth, not unlike the Olympic incident, isn't that right, Ice Cube?" asked Sea Apple as she looked at the sunrise.

"That'll be right, captain." said chief officer Ice Cube, steering the ship to a constant course. He was a cyan-white unicorn with red hair, with an steering wheel and an anchor as cutie mark. "That delayed Titanic's completion anyways."

"Sure that did, what does the radio say?" asked Sea Apple. "Sure hope not another ship."

"Preferably not another Royal Guard Navy ship." said Ice Cube as the two ponies laughed. "Alright, Reduce Speed, late passengers reaching in boats."

"Alright, Send first officer Speedin' High to warn the crew to lower the docking station, and adjust the speed to match that of the radio." said Sea Apple. "And warn her about the passengers, tell her to fly smooth!"

Ice Cube sighed at High's name and sent a message to her cabin.

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

A certain rainbow haired cyan pegasus, donning the officer uniform checked her radio.

"Aw, not that again! I'm having second thoughts on joining this voyage." said Speedin' High, flying out of the cabin. (Played by Rainbow Dash) She flew at high speed around the starboard, driving some first class passengers scared of cannonballs. as she suddenly stopped in front of docking master Icicle Dip, making him cower in fear. He was a white earth pony with stark blue hair.

"HIGH! Just an inch and you would have thrown me overboard!" screamed Icicle, before regaining his volume. "Now WHAT is it?"

"Lower the station, boats coming with passengers." replied High as she flew back to her cabin before Dip could reply.

"I am going to have a heart attack someday because of her!" mumbled Icicle.

"I think most of the crew shares your thoughts, sir." A crew member laughed.

"Just go lower the station, you, you... oh forget it." said Icicle, looking over to the approaching boats.

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

"Well wasn't that a speeding start of the story, eh?" said Spike, now dressed in a tuxedo, as the curtains fell "Now we are in for a break of story, wan't some jokes?" said Spike, much to the silence of the audience. "Okay, why did the whale cross the current? To get to the other tide! Get it? get it?" said Spike, before a yellow hand pulled him back into the curtains.

Authors Note: Yes, I am a slow writer, and I cannot even write well, which I hope explains the short chapters. However I'm trying to write this story with much detail. Feedback would be appreciated, and some of you might not understand the Olympic/Royal Guard Navy reference. ;D I mainly wan't to know your opinion of the characters introduced in this chapter, and boy were there many. ~~~~ Shadow Raikou.
