Chapters May 1st, 2015.
It's been a month since you and Sunset Shimmer have been on the Titanic. Well... almost a month. And that pocket watch Richard gave you, you've put it somewhere safe so that you don't lost it. Who knew a time traveling pocket watch can be worth something? Could it be worth a million bucks if people believed you? You have no idea, but after that Titanic disaster, you can't get those horrible screaming souls out of your head. Now you feel bad for who ever was on the Titanic, and you can't believe that those two kids that you recognize on the ship was you two. Wow.
"Hey." Your thoughts were interrupted as you hear a familiar voice came from behind you in your room. You turn back to see who it is, it's Sunset Shimmer.
"Oh hey, sorry I didn't hear you come in."
"It's alright." She said as she brings you in for a hug, and pecks you on the lips. You loved her so much, you just can't get enough of it. "So what'cha doin'?"
"Eh, just trying to find a place to put this damn thing." You said as you faced the pocket watch. Sunset Shimmered chuckled a little bit.
"It was nice of Richard for giving you this watch. Even though it does look old, but it can... do amazing stuff."
"Like travel through time?"
"I guess." Sunset chuckled again.
"Anyways, what brings you hear? I forgot you was coming over, since that I was getting ready for tomorrow."
"Our second date?"
"Yeah."
"It's not till tomorrow." Sunset laughed. "Why are you getting ready for that?"
"I don't wanna dress like a fool."
"Hey," Sunset said as she put her finger underneath your chin as you both make eye contact. "It doesn't matter what you wear, we're just going to that pizza place."
"Haha, right." You blushed. Sunset laughed, you didn't stop her, cause you love her laugh.
"You're funny." She said as she kissed you. "Anyways, the reason I'm here is that I was wondering if you could help me on something."
"With what?"
"In Mr. Alexander's class, we're having a test."
"Over what?"
"The Lusitania."
"You're kidding." Sunset shook her head. She doesn't know much about it, but you know a tone of stuff about that ship. Yes, you remember learning about that ship back in the fifth grade, and it was actually pretty fun. You're glad to help Sunset Shimmer out.
"Sure." You said as you went through your bookshelf.
"What are you doing?" You pull out a small book. It has a picture of the Lusitania on it, but sinking.
"I think this might help you out." You said as you handed it to her. She takes it from your hand and looks at it. "I can still help you out though."
"What, are we still kids that read bedtime stories?" She teased. You both laughed at her joke. "Thanks babe." She said as she smiled at you, but hands the book back to you. "But I was thinking that we should study a little bit different."
"What do you mean?" Sunset Shimmer looks at the pocket watch that's sitting on your dresser. "Wait, you're not talking about what I think you're talking about. Are you?"
"Maybe."
Your face turns into shock. "You can't be serious, we won't survive on that ship! Do you know how fast that damn thing sunk?"
"..."
"Less than twenty minutes!"
"Impossible!" Sunset said as her face turned into shocked.
"I'm serious Sunset. If we go on that ship with that pocket watch, we're screwed."
"What do you mean?"
"What if we lose it? What if we get trapped in the ship when there's no way out? We can't go on that ship, it's to dangerous."
"Let me see that book." You hand Sunset your Lusitania book, and she looks through it. She sees a picture of the ship being torpedoed by a submarine. She turns the page, and she sees the ship sinking quick.
"Damn, you got a point."
"Yep, that's why we can't go on that ship. That's how bad it really was."
"It's like a hundred years ago."
"I know right?" You said with a smile. "Did Mr. Alexander said anything about the test? Cause I don't remember."
"No he didn't."
"That bastard!" You said out loud.
"Tell me about it. I don't think he can teach worth a shit."
"Yeah, which is why I got this bad boy right here." You said as you held up the Lusitania book in your hand. Sunset laughs at your statement.
"Good one."
* * * * * *
May 2nd, 2015
It's a nice Saturday morning, and you and Sunset are hanging out at your place. Rainbow Dash and Applejack decide to come along with you both. They have congratulate you both on your first date, it went well.
"So what have you two love birds have planned tonight?" Asked Rainbow Dash.
"Eh, we're planning on eating at this pizza place we found that just opened not to long ago." You said as you held Sunset's hand.
"That's nice." Said Applejack. "Ah can't wait to see how that will go."
"Neither can we." Sunset said as she leaned on you. Rainbow Dash and Applejack are really proud of you both. Rainbow also notices that you have a book beside you.
"What'cha carrying there?"
"Huh?"
"What's in your hand?"
"Oh," You said. "Um.
"He's helping me with this test Monday."
"About the Lusitania?" Asked Rainbow Dash.
"Yep." Was all that came out of you.
"Huh? Didn't he give you anything to study with?"
"Nope." Was all you both said. So the only thing that you're left with is the book that you're holding.
"Wow." Said Rainbow Dash shocked.
"Yeah. Mr. Alexander is an asshole, he thinks he knows everything." You said as you looked at your Lusitania book. "And by everything, I mean everything."
"Like, what do you mean?"
"He thinks that the Lusitania was torpedoed like three or four times." You said. "And he thinks that's how fast it sunk."
"Damn." Said Rainbow Dash as she crossed her arms.
"Tell me about it."
Applejack calls you by name. "What's this old pocket watch that you have here?"
The pocket watch? Oh shit, she's holding the time travel pocket watch. You and Sunset have a scared feeling in your minds. You ran up to her and took it from her.
"Uh... It's nothing, AJ." You said as you took it from her. "It doesn't really work."
"Really? How come ah see a weird date on it?" As Applejack said that, you opened your pocket watch and look at the date. "April 16, 2015." wasn't that somewhere around a month ago?
"Oh, that. Uh..."
"It's really nothing, Applejack." Sunset said as she got into your conversation. "This watch was given to him by a friend of his. It's just a plan old watch, no big deal." Sunset said as she turned to you, and winked at you.
"Y-Yeah. It's really no big deal."
"Huh." Applejack said. "Ah can tell that you could be lying."
"What?"
"Give me the damn thing!" Applejack said as she snatched it out of your hand.
"Applejack, what are you-" You said as she cuts you off.
"Ah'm gonna see what the big deal is with this watch!" She said as she plays with it a little.
"Applejack, don't!" Sunset Shimmer said. Until Applejack clicked that little button on the watch. A white shine of light starts to form outside of the watch, it's the light that's so bright, you have to cover your eyes.
"Holy shit!" Applejack yelled as she threw the watch at your direction. You caught it in your hands as you catch it.
"Fuck." You said.
BANG!
Applejack and Rainbow covered their eyes as the loud noise comes in. Finally, it fades away.
"Applejack, what the fuck happened!?! *cough* *cough*"
"Ah have no idea." Applejack said. "Ah don't know wha-" Applejack stops herself as she sees a black spot on the floor, same with Rainbow.
"Uh... Wh-Where did they go?"
"Oh no, this is bad!" AJ said as she starts to freak out. This is really bad.
"*cough* *cough* God dammit, Applejack! *Cough* *cough*" You said in between coughs.
"What happened?" Sunset asked as she puts her hand to her head. "I feel light-headed."
"I don't know." You said as you too feel light-headed. "But I... I think we're outside." You said as you look up. It's a nice sunny day, and... wait a minute. Are you...
A ships folk horn comes in as it startles you both. You look up, and you see a giant black funnel, and another, and another. There's four of them. Wait a minute. You got up, and you also noticed that you're in different clothing. There's a rail ending too. So you look from there. Oh shit.
"Babe, what's going on?"
"You might wanna take a look at this." You said as you look back at Sunset Shimmer, she walks up beside you and looks from high above as she sees people waving goodbye. You look to your left, and you see more people waving goodbye as well.
"Hang on a minute." You said as you pulled out your pocket watch that's laying on the hard-wood floor. And you look at the date on there. "May 1st, 1915."
You must of went one hundred years back. You and Sunset look at each other in shock. You're on the Lusitania.
"Let's get out of here!" You said. Sunset agrees as she runs with you. Passing through people as you start to panic from your mind. But it's too late, the ship's already setting sail. "No." You mumbled to yourself.
"Come on." Sunset said as she grabbed your hand.
"Where are we going?"
"We're finding some place to hide, we should get out of here when no one's looking." She's got a point there. Why not?
You two head to the stern of the ship as you see the harbor starting to get a little bit smaller. You pull out your pocket watch, and you start searching for the right date.
"Come on, come on." You mumbled. "Found it." Finally, you find the right date to go back too. "Applejack, I'm gonna kill you when I get back."
You start clicking the watch. Nothing's happening. You click it again.
"You gonna get us out of here?"
"I'm trying, hang on." You said as you keep clicking the button on the watch. Nothing's happening. "What's going on? It won't work." You said as you look at Sunset.
"What?" She takes the watch out of your hand, she reads the right date before she clicks the button. She clicks it multiple times, you both look at each other in shock.
"Oh no." Sunset whispered. "Are we screwed?"
"I have no idea." You said as you look back at the harbor that the Lusitania left not too long ago. "I have a feeling that we might be." You start to get an angry look on your face.
"FUCK!" You yelled as you banged your hands, and your head on the railing. "Applejack, you are so dead." You said as you look up at the sky. Even though it'll be ninety-something years till she's born. But when you get back, you can't wait to give her a taste of her own medicine.
"When can we get out of here?" Sunset asked. You look around at the watch as you find something.
"The watch takes about seven days to recharge, might be contagious."
"Fuck." You said.
"What."
"Read this." You hand Sunset the pocket watch, as her eyes danced on it for a second. Her face turns into what looks like she's scared.
"What day is this again?"
"May 1st I believe."
"And a week is..." Sunset didn't finished her sentence as you finally thought about what's going to happen in a week. The Lusitania sinks on May 7th, right? SO that must mean that... seven days, that's May 8th. The Lusitania will be sunk then. Well... the next day it'll be at the bottom of the ocean.
"Are we really screwed?" Sunset asked.
"Yes, yes we are."
"Fuck!" Sunset said as she clenched her teeth.
"I guess lets find out rooms." You said as Sunset agrees with you. She follows you, and as you noticed, you hear people chatting.
"So what do you think about this whole "U-Boat" warning thing?" Said one man in a suit.
"Is your wife worried?" Said a lady.
"Well." You hear what sounds like a rich guy. "I was on the Titanic three years ago. My wife shouldn't be worried, I have someone else looking down on me, guarding me. If the German's think that they can scare us, their wrong." He said as he takes a sip of his tea.
Oh shit, you remember hearing about the whole U-Boat warning thing. This is really bad. People think that their brave enough that this ship is gonna out run a U-Boat? Stupid.
"Come on," You said as you grabbed Sunset's hand. "Lets go."
"Excuse me, young man!" The man yells. You turn around.
"Wh-Who, me?" You said as you think he's talking to you.
"Yes you, sir." He said "Come here." You and Sunset walk towards him.
"Yes?" You said as you feel a bit nervous.
"Don't I know you from somewhere? You two look familiar."
"Uh... I don't think so." You said as you looked at Sunset Shimmer.
"Wait a minute." Said the lady. "Aren't you those two children that was on the Titanic three years ago?"
"Y-Yes we were." Sunset said.
"Oh my goodness." The lady said. "We thought you two were dead, how did you make it out of there alive? Last time we saw you was when the ship was sinking, and we never saw you both."
"Oh well... just lucky, I guess." You said as you look at Sunset Shimmer. "Anyways, is this ship leaving Equestria?"
"Why yes it is, dear boy." Said the lady. "We're leaving from Equestria to Liverpool. I am going to see my husband for the first time in two months."
"Why did you move to Equestria?" You asked her.
"Oh, it was a long story. I had a little business trip. I was on the Mauritania on my way here."
"Mauritania." Another familiar name. Isn't that the sister ship to the Lusitania? Well anyways." You said. "We must be heading to our rooms."
"Ah yes, it was nice seeing you two again."
"Yeah, you too." You said as both you, and Sunset walked away. "But I don't know if I'll ever see you both again." You mumbled.
"Good point." Sunset said as she held your hand a bit tightly. She's probably scared. You hate to say this, but you are, too.
May 2nd, 1915.
The Next day has passed, and you and Sunset Shimmer have found your rooms just yesterday after hanging out on the ship, and not finding a way home. This is great, you'll have to wait about a week to go back home which really sucks.
Your rooms are in second class, and you both have it together... again. You remember having first class on the Titanic, and it wasn't bad. The room was pretty good, and the ship itself was marvelous. Until it sunk.
You both are now sitting on the same bed together as you both think of something to do, or thinking that you'll disappear sometime sooner before the ship sinks.
"What are we gonna do?" Sunset asked as she turned to face you. "We can't go home in about a week, is there any other way?"
"I hate to say it, but there is no other way." You said as you look at the watch. You just stare at it for a little bit when you face her. "But I can tell you this. When the ship is sinking, we can't wonder around very much. Don't go into elevators either, they'll turn out to be death traps. If the ship starts to sink, we have to stay together. No matter the cost, or no matter what happens."
Sunset Shimmer nods her head in agreement, and she just smiles at you. She also thinks of something.
"But, what if we are somewhere else when the ship starts to sink?"
"We'll find each other." You said as you place your hand on her cheek. "If that torpedo hits us this this Friday, we'll just meet up anywhere."
"Where?"
"Uh... How about..." You try to think. But Sunset cuts it off.
"On second thought, I kind of like your plan. We'll meet up anyway we can when the ship starts to sink."
"Good idea." You said as Sunset kissed you on the lips. Good, lets hope that your plan will work.
* * * * * *
You both are out on the boat decks just hanging out. You're watching the crew of the Lusitania doing the lifeboat drill thing. And it was pretty interesting to watch. Feeling the nice breeze of the Atlantic, and watching men being prepared in case the ship sinks. Nice.
But when that day hits. It'll be way worse then Titanic. You just can't wait to leave when the ship is gone, that's what you and Sunset are already looking forward too. It won't be easy though.
"Good job men!" You hear one of the Lusitania's crew say when the lifeboat drill's over for now. "Back to your places now!" He said as he blew the final whistle.
"Damn." You said as you watched the guys as they left for... what ever it is they they do on this ship.
"What." Sunset asked you.
"Just imagine what will happen when the ship's gone." You whispered so no one can hear you. "And to be honest, I don't even know if we're being watched."
"What do you mean?" You pointed out to the ocean.
"When I say "us". I mean both of us, and the ship."
"Oh." Sunset said as she gets it now.
"What are you talking about young man?" You hear a voice. You look to your right. That must be "Caption William Turner." The caption of the Lusitania. He just smiled at both you and Sunset.
"Oh hi," You said nervously. "Sorry, we didn't see you there."
"That's alright." He said as he smiled at you two. "I know you must be thinking that the Germans will get us. But they won't, trust me. Any ship that's past through here has never, ever been torpedoed. I promise you two, we will be fine."
'Easy for you to say.' You think to yourself. "ALright then." Was all that came out of your mouth. "How long will it be till we get to Ireland?"
"We will be there on the 7th of May on that evening." He said as you and Sunset both looked at each other. And it's only May 2nd, the Lusitania has only five days left to survive. You both gulped. "Please, why don't you two head down to dinner tonight to have a nice drink, and some food, and relax on some music."
"Okay." You said as you and Sunset got up, and walked to the restaurant on the lower decks. "Ugh! The music."
"I know right?" Sunset said as she looked at you and holds your hand.
* * * * * *
"Thank you!" Said the man on the stage as everyone clapped for the violin players. "Next, we have a wonderful woman on the ship tonight. Who will be singing for all of us. Ladies and Gentlemen," He said. "Please welcome, Mrs. Dorthy."
"Oh damn." You said. as you put your hand to your face. Sunset does understand the same thing. As she starts to sing, and the piano starts to play. You just watched as she sang and rested your head on the chair.
"How about you can play some "Three Days Grace."" You mumbled to yourself.
Finally, a few minutes passed as she finishes her song. She's not bad, but the music is. As the audience stops cheering.
"That was wonderful Mrs. Dorthy." Said the man. "Oh my, Caption Turner." He spots the caption and you turn around as he walks to the stage holding his hat. "Please give the caption a big hand." He said as the crowd begins clapping. You also notice that look on his face. This isn't good.
"Ladies and Gentleman, I shall not be singing a song tonight." He said as haft of the audience begins to giggle. "We've just receive a message from London saying that a U-Boat has sunk a ship that's only a few miles off the coast of the Kea Channel." He said as everyone starts to look at each other. "No worries, don't be alarmed. I suggest that everyone must close their curtains tonight, and please not to light your cigarettes on the decks tonight. Thank you." He said as he walks off the stage.
"Oh shit." You whispered as you and Sunset looked at each other.
"Excuse me caption." You hear one man say. "I don't suppose that we're only like four hundred and sixty miles away from shore. Why isn't this ship speeding up?"
"Well," Said the caption. "Since that the ship has four funnels and one of them appears to be not active."
"But if the U-Boats are now watching us, how are we going to get out of there sights?"
"They wont see us unless that we keep our lights down for tonight, sir."
"Does the one of your good friends down in London know what you're up too?"
"I believe they do know what I am up too." Said the caption. "Now if you'll excuse me, I must be going."
"Whoa." You said as you're shocked when a man, and the caption were arguing about why the ship's not moving fast enough. Especially if it's this late. So you and Sunset called it a night, and you both went straight to your room.
You both head back to your room. But so that no one will annoy you both, or anyone else. You decide to close the curtains for tonight. You lay on the bed on the right side as Sunset laied down right beside you.
"You okay?" She asked you.
"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just that... I'm so damn angry about coming here." You said as you put your head to your pillow.
"Hey," Sunset said as your face met with hers. "I know what you mean. I'm pissed at Applejack, too. But when we get home, I'll talk to her about it."
"Okay." Was all you said.
"But hey, at least we have each other, you know." She said as she brings her face closer to yours. As her face is just close enough to yours. She brings you in for a long passionate kiss. Her tongue presses your lips, begging for entry. You happily obey and opened your mouth just to let her tongue in. Sunset breaks the kiss as she looks into your eyes, deep.
Her hand goes lower as you look at each other. You feel her hand go into your pants. You gasp as you feel her soft palm touching your member, and she strokes it just slowly. It becomes hard in just seconds as you start to breath really hard.
"Wanna turn out the lights?" Sunset asked in a whisper. You just nod your head. "That's good." She said. "But first... I gotta let you view everything first."
She takes her hand out of your pants and she starts to strip herself down. You just watch in amazement as she takes her dress off. As she's completely naked, she takes her hands on the waistband of your pants, and begins to pull down. Leaving your erect member gasping for air, and standing up proud.
Sunset lifts you up to take your shirt off, and she tosses it to the floor.
"How about we turn out the lights now so the U-Boats wont see us." She whispered in your ear. You just nod in silence. Sunset turns off the lamp, and you two are just making out in the dark. Your tongues start to dance as your kiss still continues.
You feel Sunset's hand around your hard shaft, and she starts to stroke it gently. Now she's picking up the pace as she does. Her other hand takes one of your hands, and she places it at her most sensitive areas. She starts to pant a little as you rub her slit back in forth with your two fingers. You inserted your two digits inside her tight labia, and she bites her lip to not let out a cry, not to wake anybody up.
She brings you in for a good long kiss. You both are moaning into each others mouth as you continue to please each other. Finally, you are about to reach your climax, same with Sunset's as she stops her stroking.
"Sit up for a minute..." She said as she pants. Now you're laying back on the bed frame as Sunset climbs onto you, and she sits on your lap when your erect member is now inside of her. She moans out as she reaches the base, you do the same.
She slowly begins to move up and down on you as you both looked into each others eyes and smiled. This is so far the best night of your life, even though you can barley see each other in the dark, it's still nice to have an intimate moment together.
Finally, you're about to reach your peak... again. And you both bit your lips to hold back cries of pleasure. Finally, you reach the end, and you eject into her as you both filled up the room with your moaning. After a second of that, Sunset pulls off of you, and she lays her head on your chest as you slid down the bed frame, and your head is now resting on the pillow.
"I love you, Sunset." You said to her.
"I love you, too." She said as she finished the sentence with your name. And you both dozed off as soon as slumber starts to take over you both. You're just happy that Sunset's by your side, even when something bad happens, she will always be with you. No matter what.
May 3rd, 1915. 6:00 AM.
Last night was good, since that you and Sunset did have a little fun last night, it is nice to have someone you love by your side all the time. You start to wake up from your slumber, knowing that Sunset is still in your arms from last night. You onto her as you look out the window, and the sunlight is just barley shining through the window. You just looked as you kept thinking about the whole German U-Boat warning when the U-20 reaches the ship, and boom. Game over. But you'll still have plenty of time to worry about that. You looked at Sunset who's still by your side. You start to feel tired again as her smile is on her face, and you start to feel your eyes get heavy when she's sleeping soundly like a baby in his bed.
* * * * * *
You start to open your eyes, and you're awakened by sunlight that's shining in your eyes. You look to where the sunlight's coming from. Sunset's not in the bed. Oh crap. YOu quickly get up, and you redress yourself, and you ran out of the room to find her. As you open the door.
"Where are you headed?" Sunset Shimmer said with that smile on her face.
"I was looking for you." You said chuckling.
"Just woke Up, huh?"
"Yeah." You said when your checks turned a light shade of pink. "Sorry."
"It's alright." Sunset said as she brought you in for a hug, and pecked you on the lips. You returned it as she punched you playfully. "That's for stealing that kiss from me, big boy."
"Well then," You said with a smirk. "Sorry." Sunset giggled.
"Wanna head up to the decks?"
"Sure." You said as you held her hand and walked with her.
* * * * * *
You and Sunset are now on the boat deck just enjoying this lovely weather on this fine day. Even though the ship only has a few days left till it reaches Liverpool, lets hope that the watch will work before the ship... well... you know.
After walking around the boat-deck for a while now and you both talked about this and that. It has been really nice when you're on the Lusitania and getting to know some good people. And talking to Sunset is always nice once you can relate to the stuff you both did together. It's amazing.
You two went to the stern to chat alone , and so no one can hear your plan when you get back home.
"So, what are we gonna do when we get back home?" You ask Sunset Shimmer.
"Well, I'm probably gonna kill Applejack, and Rainbow for bringing us here."
"I thought it was Applejack."
"Oh yeah. She snatched the damn watch out of your hand until she started playing with it a little bit, and now we're here."
"I know right?" You said as you start thinking for a minute. "I also remember that Rainbow Dash was sitting on the bed, and that's when we disappeared."
"Yeah." Sunset said as she gets it now. "Yeah, I'm gonna kill Applejack when we get back home." She said in a angry tone in her voice. "But what are we gonna do with the watch?" You looked at it for a minute.
"I have no idea." You said as you both are now face to face. "I just don't know. I guess we'll have to find out till we get home."
"Agree." Sunset said as she brings you in for a hug. "I love you."
"I love you, too." You said as you both pecked each others lips.
It's early in the morning, and as soon as you woke up. You felt this feeling in your heart that things are going to be alright, when you looked outside. It is a bit foggy, but it'll clear up in a few hours. You and Sunset went outside to get some fresh air, and it is nice.
As you both walked around the boat-deck for a little bit. You can hear the caption.
"Sir, it's really foggy outside." Said one of the crew members.
"Yes, it is. We need to slow down a bit if we can't see our own hands in front of our own faces."
"Eye, sir." Said another crew member as he uses the... massager thing? Something that you send to the lower decks of the ship? That had you thinking for a minute.
Sunset calls you out by name. "What day is it?" You look at your watch.
"May 7th." You said in a quiet voice. Oh shit, this is bad.
"What are we gonna do?" She asked you. You picked the right date... again (May 2nd, 2015), and you clicked the watch... again. Nothing. This is bad. You can't believe that this week has went bye so fast, now you and Sunset are into a panic as you both think what's going to happen this afternoon.
"Oh, hello children." You hear caption Turner say as he saw you both.
"Uh, hi." You said nervously.
"Something the matter?"
"N-No sir." You said. "But uh... shouldn't we move a bit faster? What if the Germans catch us?"
"Don't be silly young man." Caption Turner chuckled. "We won't be torpedoed, everything's going to be fine. Oh, if you'll excuse me." He said when he looked at his pocket watch, and walked off.
"yeah, fine by my foot up your ass." You mumbled to yourself. Sunset puts a hand to her face.
"Great, we're screwed."
* * * * * *
It's been four hours since you heard the captions conversation about the fog, and slowing down. You lay your head on the railings of the ship on the boat-deck. As you look to your right, you can just see the shore of Liverpool if you're not mistaken.
Sunset Shimmer calls you out by name. "You wanna get something to eat? I'm kind of hungry."
"Yeah, I guess a little snack or something can calm us down." You said as you walked with her to the restaurant that you two ate at last night. The two of you ordered pudding, and you two had a wonderful time together. You don't know how long it's been when you're too busy just talking to your lover.
"Phew, I'm full." You said as you pushed your plate away.
"You gonna finish that?" Sunset asked.
"Nah, you can have it if you want it. I'll be waiting outside on the boat-deck." You said as she nods and pecks you on the lips. As you walked to the outside, you have a feeling that you forgotten something in your room. What was it?
* * * * * *
Two men are outside of the sub, looking for the ship that their targeting. They both have binoculars as they search, and search.
"You find anything?" The first man said.
"No, nothing." Said the other man.
"Great. Set our chorus for home!" Said the man that's about to head into the sub. Until...
"Wait!" Sait the man that's looking out. "I see something?" The other man takes his binoculars and, he sees a vessle, a steamer with four smoke stacks that's headed towards them.
"Is that...?" Said one man.
The other next to him speaks. "It is... The Lusitania. " They found her, they only have one shot at this. "Lets get her."
"Man your battle stations!" As soon as the man on the left said that, everyone gets in position. "Let's hope this works." They all got into the sub, and waited.
1:50 PM. Some time has passed. The caption looks through his scope.
"We can't do it." He said. "She's to far away. We'll never catch her."
"Let me see." Said one of the crew members. "Yes, you're right. She's too far out." As the caption's about to walk away. "Hang on a minute! She's changing her chorus."
"What?" The caption looks through the scope. Now (to him) this is the perfect chance.
"Ready the torpedo."
"Eye sir!" The crew gets start on setting the very last torpedo that they have.
"Tube one flooded, torpedo ready!"
"Here she comes, boys!" The caption said as the Lusitania gets closer, and closer. As she's just about like two- to three hundred yards away. The caption of the U-20 speaks.
"Fire."
"Firing torpedo!" You hear one of the crew members. The torpedo launches, and is now heading straight towards the Lusitania at very high speed.
* * * * * *
You're sitting out on the boat deck, just waiting on Sunset to come back up. Has she finished her meal yet? Eh, you don't wanna rush her. What time is it though, and when's that torpedo going to hit? You start to worry a little. You reach into your pocket for your watch. Wait, it's not there. Where could it be? You must of left it in your room. Then something hits you. Wait, it's not that time yet. Is it...?
"TORPEDO CLOSING IN ON THE STARBOARD BOW!" You hear a crew member. You see people lining up on the side just to see what's going on. You also looked, and as you did. You can see an object that's swimming really fast, and it's heading straight towards you.
"HARD TO STARBOARD!" You hear the caption as the torpedo gets closer and closer. And the worse part is, you're right above where it's going to hit.
"Oh shit." You muttered to yourself.
BANG!
The torpedo hits the ship, and water splashes onto your face. And you hit your head on the floor. As you did, you thought about Sunset, you have to reach her. You quickly get up. But just as you're now running across the deck, another explosion acres, causing you to loose balance and hit your head on the railing.
BANG! BANG! This was from the lower decks. Could the cargo exploded? You hit your head on the railing causing it to go numb, and you're now bleeding from where you hit a nut that helps the railing stay connected. You winced a bit, and you ran inside to get to an elevator.
* * * * * *
"Sunset!" You call to her.
"Was there a torpedo?" She said.
"Yeah," You said.
"What happened to you?"
"Never mind that. Listen, hold my hand really, really tightly. Don't let go, okay?"
"Okay?" She said.
"Good, lets head to the room."
"Are you crazy?"
"The watch is in there! I forgot it this morning! We need that damn thing to get the hell out of here! Come on, lets go!"
* * * * * *
"Come on, come on, come on. Where is it." You said as you looked as fast as you can. Sunset helps out.
"I found it!" She said. You look over and you see that she has it in her hand.
"Where did you find that?"
"It was under my pillow. I must of checked the time when we were taking a little nap. Sorry." A loud groan is heard through out the ship, and you can already feel water to your feet. The ship's sinking fast.
"We'll talk about that later. Come on." You said as you and Sunset Shimmer ran out to the boat-deck. Hearing nothing but splashing water to your feet as you and her run down the hallway.
* * * * * *
Finally, you reach the boat-deck as soon as you can. You're just right beside the steering room as you like to call it. You can hear the caption and the crew.
"This is bad!" Said one of the crew members.
"Sir, she's not responding sir!" Said the man behind the steering wheel.
"Hard to starboard!" You hear the caption. You also see one man that's on the phone.
"We lost pressure." He said as he puts it back on the holder. Caption Turner thinks for a minute.
"Alright. Get the command signal." He said to a crew member.
"Eye sir."
"You." The caption says as he points to another crew member. "Go to the engine room, found out what the problem is, and explain to me when you get back."
"Eye, sir!" He said as he ran off.
"What do we do now, sir?" Another crew member said, when the man behind the steering wheel breaks the captions thinking.
"Sir. Seven degrees on the starboard, sir."
Caption Turner now explains. "At this rate we won't make it to port. Lower the lifeboats to the rail ending ,Anderson, but don't launch until we slowed."
Slowed?
"Yes sir." Anderson said, there was a short pause. "Good luck." He said as he walked off.
"Slowed?" Sunset said looking at you. You look to the side of the ship and notice that it's starting to lean on the starboard side, and you are on the starboard side. You can also tell that the ship is also still moving. Is the engine running still, or has it stop when the torpedo hit? You don't know. But it's still moving.
"Come on lets go! We don't have much time!." You said as you grabbed her hand and raced to the lifeboats.
Mean while. On the U-20.
Only about a few minutes have passed and the crew members from the U-20 are watching the Lusitania sink from the little scope from the sub. One of the crew members faces the caption.
"She's going down fast." He said to the caption. He lets him take a look at it when there was a pause until he speaks.
"With one torpedo... Unbelievable." He said as he looked away from the scope.
* * * * * *Lusitania ...
You and Sunset are running to the lifeboats as you keep hearing a man say "Keep the boat-decks clear! Stand back from the boats, please!" While everyone panics out of their minds. Even you and Sunset. This is bad.
"We will lower the boats as soon as he say to do so!" You hear a man said as one guy tries to get on one of them, but the crew member pushes him back and repeats himself. "As soon as he say to do so!"
"No we can't wait! We're sinking you damn fool!" As soon as he said that. You watched a lot of people get on the boat. And the guys that got pushed back by the crew member however...
"GET OUT OF MY WAY!" You hear the crew member. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" You see him fall of of the boat and into the water. That must be a long fall. You and Sunset watched in shock as you saw that. This is really bad. As the ship continues to lean even more, you start to feel a bit of a panic on the inside.
"Come on." You said to Sunset.
"Huh?"
"We need to tell the caption that the boats need to be lowered."
"Are you crazy? He won't listen to you! But we can see what he's probably up to."
"Good point." You said as you and Sunset are now racing to the cabin. But someone stops you.
"Hey get off of me!"
"Come on young man. I'll get you away from here. Where's your mother?"
"Get off of me, asshole!" You said as you punched him the the face, and he falls to the floor. "Come on."
Finally, you reached the cabin. And you hear the caption and the other crew members start to chat about what to do. You see the lights go out in there also. The power must of gone out.
"Sir what do we do?"
"We can't lower the boats still! We haven't slowed down enough!" Caption Turner said as another crew member has entered the cabion. He must of went through something do to the cuts on his head.
"How is it?"
"The four bolk head's gone. And boiler rooms one. two, and three are flooded I can get no further exceptions." He said as he starts panting for breath. "Sir. She's filling fast to the hull and there's no way to stop it."
"So there is no possible way to stop the ship from sinking."
"Nothing sir."
"Twenty degrees on the starboard, sir." You hear the man behind the wheel. This is bad. Now the ship will never slow down. You and Sunset race back to the lifeboats when you know that it's almost time to lower the boats. As you returned, you see people trying desperately to get on the boats.
"Get back!" You hear one of the crew members as he hits a passenger.
After standing there for about a minute. You see one of the crew members race to the man patrolling the life-boat.
"Sir! Caption says we can lower the boats!"
"Women and children first!" He said. But everyone refuses to listen and the race on the boat. "I said women and children first, damn it!"
As everyone starts to get organized on the boat. You watch as they prepare to lower.
"Ready? Lower the boat!" The crew member said as the others lower the boat when you and Sunset watched.
"Come on. "You said to her. "Lets find another boat." Sunset nods her head, and she follows you to the next lifeboat. And as you reached it, there's still enough room to get on.
Sunset gets on the boat first, and you grab her hand so she can help you on. Good, you both are safe on the boat.
"Ready?" The crew member said to the men that are about to lower the boat. "Lower away!" As he said that, you felt a small jerk, and the boat begins to lower. Lets hope this goes well.
The boat's into the water finally. And you and Sunset just looked at each other when you see people trying to stay above the water. And as you look around, you also noticed that a couple more boats were lowered. And you looked up, and see another boat that's already taking in some people. And you look to the ship, and noticed that the bow must be under. This ship is sinking faster than you thought. You can't help but gulp, and just waiting for something to happen.
You look up to the boat-deck of the ship. And you noticed that you see a woman who must of hit her head on the boat, and is now falling to the water. You look back to where the bow would be, and the bridge is going down quick. Sunset grabs your hand and she helds it tightly when she's sitting right next to you. She must be scared.
"Save me!" You hear a woman as if it sounds like she's trying her very best to stay above water. "I'll give this money to someone who can... save me!" She said when she's trying to stay afloat. What's she holding?
"I'll save you, miss!" You hear a man that's sitting right beside you.
"What are you doing?!" You asked.
"What's it look like kid, I'm saving this woman!"
"You're saving her because of money? You asshole! You're gonna flip the damn boat!" You said when the side of the boat's getting closer and closer to the water, and you see water enter the boat. You sat up quickly to grab the man.
"You goddamn fool!" You said. But it's too late, the boat is now tipping over and that leaves you and Sunset in the freezing Atlantic waters.
"Oh shit!" Sunset yells through the screams from everyone. "Just like last time on the Titanic!"
"It'll be okay, Sunset!" You said as you try to calm her down, and trying to stay as calm as possible when you swim to her. "I promise." As you said that, a really loud groan is heard from the ship. You look to the side and noticed that the bridge is now going under.
This is the most horrifying thing that you have ever seen in your entire life. It's far much worse than the Titanic, you know that for sure. You see an object that's floating next to both you, and Sunset. You grabbed onto it and grabbed Sunset's attention so she can grab onto it as well.
Hearing nothing but people screaming, and the ship making scary noises as it sinks is making you think that you'll defiantly kill Applejack when you get back home. But could it been an accident that you were brought here? Could Applejack might of brought you here by accident? You don't know, you're just freezing in the waters right now.
Until no time later has passed, and you felt Sunset tap you on the shoulder when the ship makes one long, and final groan. You see that the stern's just above the water, and is going down quickly. Until about a few seconds of the stern going down like you dropped your cell phone in the pool. You and Sunset just watched in horror when the ship disappears into the wavy waters and air bubbles just making their way to the surface.
* * * * * *
The caption of the U-20 watches the ship sink through his scope, as he saw the Lusitania sink through his scope, he slowly brings his head back.
"That's it." He said to one of his crew members when he faces to him, he shows him the time. "Just "18 Minutes" "
The crew member takes his pocket watch into his pocket, and he speaks to the caption of the U-20 "The rescue boats will be here soon... And the warships."
"Yes." The caption said as there was a small silence, then he sets up the scope. "Set our course for home!"
"Eye sir!" Said one of the crew members.
* * * * * *
You and Sunset just looked at each other when you have to wait four hours for help to arrive. Just sitting there holding onto an object, and just shivering.
"I'm g-gonna kill Applejack when we g-g-get home." Sunset said through shivers.
"T-T-Tell me about it." You said. "I'm gonna strangle her." As you both went silent for a minute when you hear people shivering and what not. You felt a hand grabbed onto yours. You look to your side, and noticed that it's Sunset's hand. And she's smiling at you. You just smile back right at her, letting each other know that everything's going to be okay.
* * * * * *
A man is running to his bosses office with a folder in his hand. He opens his bosses door when he's having a meeting.
"John? What the hell do you want?" The boss said.
"The Lusitania has been sunk, sir. Eleven miles off the Old Head of Kinsale Lighthouse!"
"Sunk?"
"Torpedo sir! She went down in less than 20 minutes!"
"Impossible!" The boss said as his face turns into shock. "Excuse me gentlemen." He said as he's walking out with his employee.
"It sys it here, sir. The said they did the job with just "One Torpedo!" " Said John as he hands him the paper.
"One torpedo?"
"Yes sir."
"And you said she sank in 20 minutes?"
"Less than 20 minutes, sir." John's boss walks to his window.
"God DAMMIT!" He said as he turned around and faced his employee. "Her cargo must of exploded. Listen here, I want every U-Boat message from this past week in my office as soon as you can, John." He said as he handed him the papers.
"Yes sir." John said as he walked off and hurried down the hall.
* * * * * *
You and Sunset are now at the harbor where the Lusitania was suppose to be headed. But the ship didn't make it unfortunately. You see dead bodies being lined up from the ship. You have no idea how many there were found, and you probably don't want to know. But you do know that the rest were lost at sea also. You and Sunset held hands as you walked along and looked at the bodies that didn't make it either from the cold water, or from the ship before it sank all-the-way.
You also see the Caption Turner survived the sinking. Wait, shouldn't he go down with the ship? You and Sunset looked at each other.
"Hey." Sunset said getting your attention.
"Yeah?"
"You still got that watch?"
"Yeah. Got it right here." You said as you pulled it out of your pocket, and showed it to her.
"Good. Come on. Let's see if it'll work this time. I really want to get out of here."
"That makes two of us." You said as you look around, and see the sorrow on everyone's faces as their loved ones, and so on has passed. "Lets go." You said as the two of you hide behind a building. You set the time to the right date. Exactly when you left.
"Ready?" You asked her. Sunset Shimmer takes a deep breath and looks at you. She must be scared, and she nods her head. "*Deep breath* Here we go." You said as you clicked the button. And all of a sudden, you both start to see a really bright light that's just at your eyes as you both are still holding hands. It must be working, right?
* * * * * *
"Oh shit!" Rainbow said as she starts to panic. "This is bad! What the hell did you do, Applejack!?"
"Ah didn't do nuthin', Rainbow Dash!"
"Well you did something! You probably killed them!" Said Rainbow Dash as she points to the black spot on the floor.
"What, you think that we're dead?" Sunset's voice comes from nowhere. Both Rainbow Dash and Applejack look to where her voice came from, and they see you both un-harmed and looks like you both are pissed off.
"Oh my god!" Rainbow Dash said as she sees you both. "How are you two still alive?"
"Oh thank god you both are okay!" Applejack said as Sunset Shimmer slowly walks to her. "We thought you two were dead from what ha-" Applejack didn't finish her sentence as Sunset takes a swing to her face, knocking Applejack to the floor. Rainbow Dash catches her when Applejack winces a little.
"What the fuck did you do?!?" Rainbow Dash asked in a pissed off tone.
"Hey. Ah didn't do nuthin'. What did ah do?"
"That's for not being careful, jackass!" Sunset said as she's in a really pissed off mood. Same with you.
"What are you talkin' 'bout? And what was that watch?" Applejack asked you both as blood forms from her face where Sunset punched her.
"Tell nobody about this! It's a time-travel watch!" Sunset said as she pulled the watch out of your pocket, and she showed it to Applejack.
"A... A time-travel watch?" Applejack said when Rainbow's face is just distracted by it.
"Whoa. Is it real?"
"Yeah." You said to her. "How did you think that we disappeared?"
"Where did you two go?"
"You don't wanna know." Sunset said as she puts the watch in her pocket.
"Anyways. Ah'm goin' home. Ah'm gettin' this cut cleaned up."
"Right behind you AJ/" Rainbow said when AJ gets up and walks out the door. Rainbow looks at you both with a sad expression on her face. "We're sorry, okay? Just... don't get pissed at us when we do something by accident." She said when she walked out the door.
After a few minutes. You put the watch back in it's safe place where you been putting it after the Titanic disaster. Sunset Shimmer sits beside you and is now holding your hand.
"I can't believe how bad it was." Sunset said to you. "Was there two torpedoes? I heard another bang when I was eating."
"I don't know." You said to her.
"What do you mean you don't know? You was up there!"
"True. But I only saw one. After it hit the ship I was worried about you. So I ran to you, and the next thing that I know. There was another bang. It could of been from the cargo or something."
"Yeah, true." Sunset said as she looks at the watch where it's now sitting. "So what are we gonna do with the damn thing?"
"I don't know. It's to dangerous to time-travel." As you said that, something hits you in your mind. You face her.
"What?"
"Should we destroy it?" You asked as Sunsets face went to shock. "It's the only option we have. It's just... to dangerous." YOu said as you look back at the watch, then to Sunset Shimmer.
It's true. it can be very, very dangerous to travel through time, and through space. So that might be the only option you have, is to destroy the damn device, or just be stuck with it when something bad happens to it. Because you'll never know when something bad happens, it can change the time-line. Until you go back further to fix it. What are you going to do?
Author's Note
Hey guys. That's it for this story. I finally have it done. Sorry if I was feeling a little bit rushed while writing this. I'll go back and update it ASAP cause I wanted this posted before "May 7th" hits cause that marks the 100th Anniversary of the "Sinking of the Lusitania."
I hope you all enjoyed this story. I'll see what other stuff I can come up with when Sunset's still using that damn time-travel watch.
But there is one question I wanted to ask. If you could go back in time for real. Where would you go? And why?
