Rarity walked through the docks toward the ship that she was supposed to board for the trip she got. She still couldn't believe that Fancy Pants gave her the tickets for this cruise. She had gone to Canterlot to pay him a visit and it ended with him giving her a ticket to the Celestial cruise for a week long trip. At first Rarity refused the offer believing it was too much of a gift but Fancy insisted that she take it. In the end she agreed to and now she was heading to board the ship. Rarity looked behind her to make sure that the stallion she asked to carry all her bags was still behind her. He was still slowly moving behind her trying his best to hold up the large piles of suitcases and bags that held all of her necessary stuff for the trip, mainly being clothes.

When Rarity reached the ship she stopped for a minute to look at it. The cruise large. It was white and windows laid along the sides. The deck was large enough to hold over a hundred ponies on it.

There was a line that led to the ship where a ticket master was . he was busy punching the tickets that the ponies gave him before boarding the ship. She got in line and after a few minutes got her ticket punched and boarded the ship. The stallion with her bags continued to follow her as she walked to her room. When she got to her room he dropped them inside and waited for his tip. She smiled kindly at him and used her magic to give him several small gems and thanked him for the help. He bowed slightly and then walked out of the room. Rarity decided to spend the rest of the day getting accustomed to her room before going on the deck and socializing.

At the center of Canterlot there stood a stallion on the rooftops of the homes. He had a gray coat with a black messy mane that almost covered his eyes and he had his wings resting on his side. He looked all over the city and admired it’s grand view. He turned around when he heard a noise and smirked as he saw the guards try to climb up to the rooftop while shouting at him to get down.. He looked at each guard and noticed that none of them were Pegasus. This made him smirked even wider and he patiently waited for the guards to get to the roof. After several minutes of grunting the guards reached to the rooftop and the stallion studied each of them carefully. All the guards wore the same type of armor. The traditional gold plating that the Royal guard always wears. Two of them where unicorns and one was a earth pony.

The guards started to advance on him but the stallion remained calm. He jumped onto the edge of the rooftop once the guards got close enough to him. He smiled calmly at them and said goodbye then he leaned back carefully and fell off the roof. Halfway down he opened his wings and caught air. He soar through the air laughing as pure adrenaline shot through his body. After several minutes he started to glide down to the ground. He landed in the middle of the marketplace and almost immediately bumped into a white unicorn. She was clearly a unicorn born to show off her looks. Her coat gleamed pure white and she had a curly purple mane. Everything about her look screamed Canterlot but the stallion could tell that she did not come from the city. She stood in the middle of the marketplace with a mountain of bags behind her and she was trying to get ponies attention to get some help carrying her bags but none of them seemed to care to help her and continued to shove past her.

She jumped a little when the stallion hit her but she started to smile when she saw him.
“ darling can you help me carry these bags to a ship I have to board?” She asked while batting her eyelashes. Something told the stallion that she was used to getting boys to do things for her. He looked around the marketplace and saw the three guards from earlier down the street. He then turned to look at the unicorn and smiled back at her.

“ I would love to help a beautiful mare like you with your bags.” He said kindly. The unicorn clapped her hooves together in happiness and without hesitation he put all the bags on his back and they both headed to the docks.

They reached the docks without any trouble and after a few minutes they both were on the ship. He followed the unicorn to her room and set the bags down. He made sure that his saddlebags were still on his back and insured the contents where safe. He noticed that the unicorn was trying to hand him several small gems as payment.He accepted them gratefully and stored them safely inside his bag before leaving.

He walked down the hallway until he reached the junction that separated the hallway. On the left were some stairs that led down deep into the ship and on the right where stairs that led to the exit. He looked around to see if there where any ponies before heading to the left.

Rarity woke up several hours after the ship left the dock. After making sure she looked her best she headed to the to deck. There was some kind of party going on when she got there and after some sweet talking to the bouncer at the entrance she got in. she didn't really care about the party much. She just wanted to look at the view. It was close to sundown and the way the sunset hit the water was just breathtaking. It was moments like this that give her inspiration for her dress designs. A few minutes later the sun had gone over and the moon was risen. Rarity to in the view of the night sky and made a note of how peaceful it was to just stand there and watch the stars. She didn't stay for the party and instead headed back to her room. This week was to be spent relaxing and Rarity planned for it to be the best week off for her. Nothing would go wrong she was sure of it.

The stallion stopped outside one of the doors in the hallway. He had made his way to the bottom of the ship and was looking the outfit he needed to blend in. this was the third door he had gone through. The first two were storage and he was starting to wonder if he would be able to find what he was looking for.

He opened the door and walked inside. He looked around and started to smile. The room had several serving pony outfits. He found one that fit him and headed to the kitchens. If you want to learn something then you head to the kitchens they hold all the rumors. As he walked he thought about how well his plan was going. Nothing would go wrong he was sure of it.

Two ponies on one ship. One was there to relax and the other was there to escape both thought that nothing was going to go wrong. The universe had other plans and these two ponies will learn just how wrong they were.
