A Second Chance
Let Her Sail Once More
Previous ChapterNext Chapter(3 Days Later, Manehattan)
After receiving a letter from Princess Celestia about the HMS Warrior finally rebuilt and upgraded, I could not wait to gather my friends and hurry off to Manehattan to see the ship once more. The AC`s onboard were tested and were fully operational with no failures which caused the ship to sink last time, With some crew returning like Ocean Crest and Zeal Fury, I was glad to see they were willing to give the ship a second chance and I would love to captain her once more.
Once we arrived at the pier, The Princesses greeted us.
"It is good to see you all." Celestia started.
"Yes the vessel is ready to sail once more, but with more upgrades to assure ponies that it will not be another disaster." Luna fininshed as we all assured with smiles.

"So I assume that some crew from the previous voyage will make a return?" I asked.
"Yes, some of your officers and other surviving crew will be with you on this voyage, but instead of sailing to Gallopagos Islands, you will be heading to Haywaii, about 300 miles from the Equestrian mainland." Celestia explained then looked at the ponies. "As for the rest of you, you will all be able to enter crew related areas in case of emergencies." They smiled and nodded in agreement.
"So what time do we leave?" Twilight asked.
"Soon, I`d recommend you head aboard." Luna answered.
We all headed aboard and this time, Im going to take better precautions to avoid another tragedy like double checking systems to be sure of no malfunctions. As the ships whistles blow and the anchor`s raised, the Warrior begins to slowly depart from Manehattan as a large crowd of ponies wave off the ship.

Once we left the shallow waters near the shore, I ordered the ship to increase speed up to 21 knots and regular system checks around the ship. After an hour, one of my surviving officers, Ocean Crest came in and spoke.
"Sir, All systems are in order, no known malfunctions."
"Good work, Take control while I prepare for dinner." I said as I walked to my quarters, which had a major restoration with new carpeting and furniture. I dressed in my Captain`s uniform which was navy blue with gold buttons and black dress shoes.
Once I was ready, I headed into the ships Grand Staircase which looked as marvelous as before and some ponies walked upon it with their own little conversations. I was quite impressed with the Warriors new interior and that it looked as if she had never sank in the first place.
I entered the dining room and saw all my friends at a table and sat among them.
"How is everypony this evening?" I asked politely.
"Quite fine darling, the ship`s designers outdid themselves with the restoration." Rarity replied.
"It is lovely like it always has." Fluttershy squeaked out.
"Well I`m glad you all are enjoying this, now lets eat shall we." I inquired as our waiter came to us.
"What shall we be having this fine evening." He asked with a French accent.
We ordered our food and drinks and we spent the whole evening laughing and joking about, especially Pinkie Pie til our food arrived and we dined in on the delicious cuisine. As dinner drew to a close, my friends went to bed and as the sun was setting over the horizon, I went out onto the ship`s prow, where the water looks to be sliced by the ship, I pondered my mind of the thoughts from the previous voyage.

"I wont be as blind as last time, One failure lead to a destructive end, but I wont let that happen. What would have happened if I saw this too late? Everypony would have been killed under my watch and I would have been executed or thrown in the dungeon for a long time, but this time I will take precautions and I will let the Warrior have her first successful voyage."
As my thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice that always seem to calm me down, Minuette.
"Hey Torian, mind if I join you?"
"I turned around and smiled. "Of course, come."
She walks over to my side and we both look over the Equestrian sea with a sunset that made feel as if you were in paradise.
"So any reason why your out here?" She asks to kick off a conversation.
"I came out here to think about the previous voyage, but I wonder if I am making the right decisions on being too careful, last time the AC failures caught me and everypony else off guard and I could have lost you or all of our friends. I just dont want to go through something like that again because I cant imagine a life without you in it and maybe, just maybe we can find an immortality spell for us to be together for a long time." I was concerned about my altered life span when Luna gave me some of her blood to save me and how I`ll be able to live for another 3,000 years. I wanted to spend my life with Minuette since she was the dentist I fell in love with.
"That`s very sweet of you to say and I would love for us being together." She said as we leaned in for a kiss.
Afterwards I wanted to do this what my Great Grandfather did when he and my Great Grandmother were together on the HMHS Britannic before she sank, I told Minuette to close her eyes and step on the ships railing standing on her hind hooves while I supported her to ensure she doesnt fall. Then I guided her fore hooves to stretch out and open her eyes and like a movie that will probably get millions of viewers in the future it looked as if she were soaring over the ocean.

Once the moment seemed endless, we leaned in for an even more passion-filled kiss that felt like fireworks on the 4th of July, we simply melted into it and shared the moment as the Warrior continues to steam towards Haywaii of Honlulu.
