Titanic

There she was. Sitting at her keel, awaiting launch. The under construction Titanic, beginning of her launch. The hull began slipping into the water. When it did, many ponies clapped as the ship floats in the water. But now, she sits at the docks, for her maiden voyage. The ponies gathered at the docks had larger amounts than the launch's. Meanwhile, the six friends, Twilight, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Rarity, just arrived at the ship's docks, hoping for a nice vacation aboard the ship. The six friends boards the ship, reaching the first class hallways. "Wow, this is an elegant ship wouldn't you agree?" Rarity asked. "Yep. Probably unsinkable!" Rainbow Dash answered. "Oh, Rainbow, it can sink, if you put a hole in it." Twilight said. "No, it won't!" Rainbow replied. "There's our cabin!" Twilight said. Twilight unlocks the cabin door. "Wow! What a luxurious room!" Rarity said. "Hey, I'm gonna go explore for a while." Rainbow said. "Sure, Rainbow." Twilight replied. Rainbow walked throughout the ship, through the Grand Staircase, First Class Dining Hall and other sections of the ship. Then the ship's horn blew, sailing time. The six friends joined the passengers at the ship's bow to wave to their loved ones. The ship leaves the docks, pulled by tugboats. Then, the tugboats let the Titanic sail into the open ocean. One day, Rainbow decided to take a walk. Same old thing, staircases, ponies walking, stuff. This night.....was different. Rainbow was walking through the cold breeze. She sees someone about to jump off the ship's stern. She walks towards the stallion. "Umm, sir? What are you doing?" She asked. "Suicide. I can't take this world." The stallion said. "Wait, don't do it!" Rainbow said. "Why shouldn't I? This world has too much things I can't handle." the stallion said. "Please, don't do it!" Rainbow said as she walked closer. "Don't come any closer!" the stallion said. "Lend me your hoof. I'll help you." Rainbow said. The stallion took a choice, he sticks out his hoof and Rainbow Dash helps him up. "Call me Thunder Blaze." the stallion said. "Rainbow Dash." Rainbow said. The next day, Rainbow introduces Thunder Blaze to the five friends. "Wow, where'd 'ya meet Thunder?" Applejack asked. "Oh nothing, met at the ship's stern." Rainbow answered. Meanwhile, Thunder Blaze was at the ship's bow with his friend, Sun Gazer. He said "I'm king of the world!". Meanwhile, Octavia has been on the ship, playing the cello. At night, the Mane 6 rested on the lounge with the other first class passengers. "We might reach Manehattan early, if don't run into ice." a stallion said. "Come on, you guys, the ship's unsinkable!" Rainbow said. "I don't mind seeing an iceberg, though. I'm told they're quite a sight." the stallion said. The next morning, Rainbow meets up with Thunder Blaze. She just wanted to hang out with him. Thunder had a secret that Rainbow never knew. In the afternoon, Thunder Blaze sneaks into the six friend's cabin. When Pinkie woke up, she saw Thunder. "Oh, hey Thunder!" she said. Thunder pulls out a gun. Pinkie screams, waking the whole cabin. "Thunder, what the heck are you doing?!" Rainbow said. "You think I was an ordinary pony? WRONG!" Thunder shouted. "I knew I should have never approached you." Rainbow said. "There's nothing we can do. He's got a gun!" Twilight said. Fluttershy hid behind the sheets. Thunder brings them into a room. "No one. No. ONE. Talk or try and escape." Thunder said. Meanwhile, an officer, which is particularly an old friend of Thunderbolt, realizes that Thunder was a kidnapper wanted for his crimes. He tells the first mate, "Sir, I have to go check on something. I think we have a kidnapper on this ship.". "Alright, then. Go bring your gun with you." the first mate said.

The officer ran with his gun. Meanwhile, Octavia, decided to take a walk. She meets the rushing officer. "Um, excuse me, sir, do you know where the lounge is?" she asked. "A Deck, now excuse me, ma'am." The officer said. The office rushes into D Deck, where the six ponies were kept. Meanwhile, Octavia was not sure about the officer. The officer kicks the door down and sees Thunder Blaze. He raises his gun, saying "Put the gun down! Your under arrest!". Thunder Blaze ran away, the officer untied the six friends and chased Thunder. Thunder Blaze is blocked by a squad of officers who were sent by the first mate. He puts his hooves up and gives up. "Um, sir, thanks for saving us." Twilight said. "R-rainbow, you said Thunder was n-no problem." Fluttershy added, still traumatized after what happened. "Well, I didn't know that ok?" Rainbow said. "It's ok, Rainbow." Twilight said. "Just don't bump into any strangers again, ok?" Twilight added. "Fine." Rainbow replied. Octavia goes back to her station and begins playing the cello. The six ponies decided that dinner can get Thunder Blaze off their minds. Meanwhile, the officers at the crow's nest saw something. When it got nearer, it was clear. It was an iceberg. The officer rang the bell at shouted at the phone, "Iceberg Right Ahead!". The first mate, Murdoch, orders the helm holder to turn the ship to port. The ship turns slowly, but not in time before the ship suffers a glancing blow. A large shake shook the ship. The six friends felt the shake. They went out and saw the iceberg right before it was out of sight. Same with Octavia. Meanwhile, the boilers begin to flood as the workers try a attempt to escaping the boilers. First Mate Murdoch and Captain Smith meets with Thomas Andrews to talk about what happened. "Water is in boiler room six." Thomas said. "But this ship can't sink!" a pony said. "She's made out of iron, sir. I assure you, she can." Thomas said. Meanwhile, the ship has began sinking. The six ponies rushed to the ship's deck, forgetting their lifejackets. Octavia and her group played. The lifeboats began releasing. When Applejack boards a lifeboat, her friends was left behind.

The ship takes a 9-degree port list. "See Rainbow? I told she would sink." Twilight said to Rainbow. "But let's agree that we should survive this first." Rarity said. The ship's bow began sinking deeply into the icy cold waters. The passengers helped each other to turn a lifeboat and move it to the davits. The ship's lights began flickering. The six friends helped the passengers, but no avail, the lifeboat remained over turned. The bridge began flooding as the passengers make a final push. The lifeboat now floats over-turned, but the passengers who tried pushing it drowned. Except for the five friends, who paddled to safety. Meanwhile, Octavia finished their final song. They seperate, except for Octavia who remained. Captain Smith goes to his bridge, flooding. First Mate Murdoch felt guilty and shot himself. The ropes of the first funnel begins to snap, and the first funnel falls into the water, killing people. The stern began rising as the propellers begin to reveal itself. The ship continued tilting to her port, Octavia managed to get to the stern saying "Mother of Celestia, please spare us." before she fell into the water, but saved by the five friends. The ship's electricity went out. Then suddenly, the ship breaks in half, in the midway of the ship. The stern makes a tilt and is dragged down by the ship's bow before the bow releases and sinks down. "At least we're safe." Pinkie (with hair down) said. Meanwhile, Applejack began to cry because she left her friends. The ship's stern went down just before it goes vertical. Then many passengers in the water began panicking. Twilight and her friends were glad they were still safe. Then Applejack told the officer to come back and look for survivors. The officer initially refuses, but Molly, insist that they should go back. When they did, they began on the ship's last known location, relatively finding none. When Rarity heard the officer, John, she shouts "Over here!'. The lifeboat rows towards the overturned boat, where they pick up the six ponies. Applejack was glad her friends are safe. Then by 4:00 am, an ocean liner, called RMS Carpathia, arrives to pick up the lifeboats.

NOTE: Sorry for the short story, I don't have experience writing long things. And the sinking is based on the 2012 theory of James Cameron.
