There She Is

Another day in Equestria, and the land looked as beautiful as ever, even extra excitement filled the land, especially in a train heading down to Manehattan,  In that train were seated eleven familiar Ponies. In one group were:  Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie. In another group were three little fillies: Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetiebell.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders sat chatting excitedly exited for the adventures they were going to face.  In another group sat a family of a all three pony factions: An Earth Pony with a brown coat named Time Turner, A Gray Pegasus with a blond mane and misaligned eyes named Ditzy, and a little unicorn filly who was looking over at the Crusaders with eager eyes, her name was Dinky.

Ditzy looked over to her daughter and noticed where the filly's attention was held, she could not help herself but to simile, a smile that was contagious it made Time Tuner smile as well.  "Dinky" Said the blond Pegasus, causing the filly to turn to her.

"Yes mother, what is it?" said the little filly.

Ditzy looked at her daughter for a bit before she answered.  "If you want to go and sit with the others you can, your dad and I will be fine."

Dinky looked over at her mother for a bit then turned to look at the other fillies, felling a bit nervous she turned herself back to her mother.

Ditzy looked at her daughter and noticed the obvious anxiety that was there, knowing the feeling all too well gave her a big hug.  "Go ahead; I'll be here if you need me."

Some how her mother saying those words put comfort and bravery into her little heart and she hugged her mother tighter saying.  "I love you Mommy." and with that let go and ran over to the Crusaders.

   "I love you too my little Muffin" whispered Ditzy as she watched her little unicorn run over to the trio of friends.

Time Turner then spoke up. "She is something special isn't she" saying this with so much respect and admiration.

Ditzy hugged her husband replying "Yes she is, thanks for allowing her to join us.  I know how much this means to her."

What Time Turner said next he said as tears fell down his face.  "It's the least I can do; besides without her I would have never met you." With that said the couple just sat there, enjoying their time together.

Over to where the Crusaders were sitting, Dinky slowly made it to where they were sitting over hearing the conversation they were having.

"So what do you guys want to do, once we get there?" said the white unicorn who Dinky knew as Sweetiebell.

The Yellow earth pony then spoke up. "Ah don't know, ah know noth'in about ships."

"Ya but there are still things we can do, once we get there we should talk to the captain and see how he got his cutie mark...Oh hey Dinky, what’s up?" said the pegasus as the new unicorn approached.

"Well, I uh...Wanted to see what you guys are up too and to see if I could join you for a bit?" said Dinky quickly; making it obvious that it was hard for her.  For a moment there was only silence as the three fillies looked at her, not in shock just in a state of not knowing what to say exactly.  Then Apple Bloom spoke.

"Of course ya can join us! here take a seat by me."

Dinky went over by Apple Bloom and sat down by her still looking a little nervous.  So Sweetiebell decided to help Dinky participate and feel welcome.  "So what do you think Dinky, what should we do?"

"Talking to the captain sound like a good place to start." said Dinky who started to feel just a little more comfortable.

While Dinky was getting settled in with the Cutie Mark Crusaders, The six mares sat amongst each other talking and sharing the excitement.  "This is going to be AWESOME!" shouted a cyan blue pegasus with a rainbow striped mane.

"You know sugar cube, you use that word allot.  Don't you think It’s a might over excessive?" said Applejack.

A smug look comes over Rainbow's face.  "Nope, because I'm Awesome!"

Applejack just rolled her eyes, and then put her attention on Twilight.  "How long do you reckon that this here train ride is going to take Twi?"

"Of all the ponies here Applejack, you of all would know more than me.  You have been to Manehattan before.  I have not." said Twilight.

"Oh right" said Applejack with a slight blush of embarrassment, only slight though. "Its just been so long, I really can't remember but of the travel, sept for com'in home, that ride felt like days."

Rarity then put in her two bits. "Oh thank you so much Twilight for taking us with you" She said with an etiquette grace, but her excitement soon got the best of her.  "This is just going to be fabulous! The Glamor of the new ship, oh my dear Twilight the Style is to die for, not to mention all the important ponies that will be there."

Rarity's excitement immediately took effect on Pinkie Pie, who was previously just sitting having a huge smile on her face.  However Pinkie could no longer keep herself still. She jumped off her seat Cutting off Rarity's rant.  "Oh boy the Titanic, the most humongous, huge, big largest ship ever built!  Oh I'm so nervicited!" Pinkie Pie would have said more but Twilight cut her story short. Though that only happens once in a blue moon.

"I also heard that it is completely unsinkable, now I would love to see the schematics for that." was what the unicorn said.

"Sche-what now?...oh just never mind, I'm no good with egghead stuff." said Rainbow Dash as she tried to grasp what Twi had just said.  "Could you speak Equestrian please."

Twilight gave a look to Rainbow as she simplified her last statement. "I mean I would like to see the blue prints on the ship."

"While I'll be, girls take a look here out the window." Said Applejack.  "Ah see Manehattan."

They were so close to the grand city now; they did not even know how it managed to sneak up like that.  The Aw-inspiring city took the breath from every pony on the train, for no matter how many times you visited you could not avoid the beautiful shock that the city creates in your heart.

The train rolled on to the station, where every pony got off and made their way Into taxi carts and all headed to the docks where there dream awaited.  It got to the point where Scootaloo thought she saw a smoke stack from the ship from above one of the buildings. With that, Dash decided to pick her up and fly her up so they could have a sky view.  Soon the Carts came into view of the Ship Titanic.

"Whoo-Wee, there she is gals, that is one Haystack of a ship right there!" exclaimed Applejack.

After Twilight was done admiring the grand scene before her, she looked up there where Rainbow and Scootaloo where hovering.  "Hey Rainbow Dash, I could use your help with our luggage." She yelled up to her loyal friend.  Waiting for a response she soon came to realize that the two airborne pegasi were too mesmerized to have heard her.  So she then turned to Pinkie Pie.  "Pinkie do you think you could help me get Dash's attent...?"

           "Roooawww!" The sound had come out of the party pony's mouth as soon as Twilight had asked for her help.

The roar had done the trick for Rainbow froze where she was, unlike last time though she did not panic, but just looked at the pink pony and said. "Really Pinkie? Really?"

"Twilight needs your help!" was all pinky said in a sing song voice.

     "Oh right, sorry Twilight" said Rainbow as she landed and set Scootaloo down.  "It's just seeing the ship from the air is just Awesome! It looks like a floating city from up there!"

"It's OK Dash, we all are exited, let’s just make our way over so we can board." said Twilight with a smile.

With that said.  The crew of twelve ponies collected the belongings and headed over to the docking station.  Along their way the chatter of their excitement was soon interrupted by a sudden presence of a Royal Carriage.

Given the parties position, they all had a clear view of the upcoming charade; unfortunately they were also in view of what was to come.

The door of the carriage was opened by a usher, once the door was open and a set of steps slid out a voice range out that sent a feeling of annoyance down everyone spine.

"No red carpet? I am not about to have my royal hooves trod on common peasant ground." Stated a self absorbed voice that Rarity know all too well.

  "Oh no! it can't be, quick girls hide me!" said the white unicorn in a panic, who then moved behind Fluttershy and Twilight.  Fluttershy then let out a small squeak from Rarity's sudden episode of dramatics.

"Rarity, what’s wrong?" asked Twilight in concern.

  "It’s him!" Whispered the fashion designer in detest.

  All other eleven ponies chimed in unison, "him?"

Rarity looked up at all her friends. "Yes, him, that sorry excuse of a prince that does not even know how to treat a lady."

"Oh" they all said as they looked back to Prince Blueblood's carriage a steward role a red carpet up to the carriage.  Stepping out he looked over to the group of ponies.  After eying them he gave a detestfull look. and continued walking up to the Ship and soon boarded.

"Well we can see why you don't like him" said Rainbow Dash "He is as uncool as....Well I don't know, I don't hang around uncool things."  this got a small snicker from all her friends.

The Party then excitedly went to the Admission center where Twilight then redeemed her Tickets, and then were admitted into the Ship and were shown to their Suits.  As they were moving about the ship on the tour, they could only admire the Beautiful elegance that the ship held. The High Glass Dome over the Salon Stairway, the purl white walls laced with majestic ribbons that even Rarity complemented on the style.

Eventually the tour ended every pony settled into their separate rooms where they were staying for the duration of the voyage.  Twilight, who was pared with Rarity, was in her room organizing everything as she unpacked.  Rarity had gone out to walk around the ship some more, she remembered her saying something to the fact that she wanted to go and examine the paintings that were hung in the corridors of the ship.

Twilight was just about ready to finish making her bed when Rarity burst through the doors ecstatically and in tears, catching Twilight by surprise causing her to drop the pillow she was holding.

      "Rarity, what’s wrong" the lavender unicorn said, hoping that line did not have to be used again.

Rarity held in her cries so she could quickly explain to twilight what had happened.  "I was Admiring a particularly excellent piece of work, when Prince Blueblood showed up.  He recognized me immediately and started to pester me about being in the first class section.  I proceeded to tell him that I was a First class guest, he then asked for me ticket.  You see Twilight I had no choice, but to give it to him.  He took it and said I probably stole it from somepony and then said he would be generous and give me a spot down in the third class unit!

Twilight, who only caught a little bit was confused. "um...Rarity, could you explain a little simpler?

Rarity took a deep breath and  then shouted.  "Blueblood demoted me down to third class!" Once this was said She broke back down into her sobs.
