Chapter 2: On Deck

By now it was morning, the sun was not showing but just clouds up in the sky. Sky wasn't blue as always just the look it was just life of grey. Most some morning there would thunderstorms and waves hitting onto the ship, however the ship was made to keep a very good balance, and also be able to hold on. Manehatten workers knew how to put good work, mostly they did all the work though, but Stable Tec was able to help with the supplies the ship needed.
So morning as it came, oh Timothy got up early this morning. He made himself a quick soup, and had a apple as well. He got dress into his jacket, pants, and put on his blue cap, and went out of his room in a hurry. Class was going to start in a hour but Tim knew that just a stroll around the deck would be nice. For why he wanted to take a stroll around the deck, well in him loosing his diary, then getting the mare of his life to bring it to him. Then asking her out for a walk around the deck, pretty much is why Timothy was out now on the deck.
As Tim shut the steel door behind him, he looked around on the deck of the ship to see the normal higher level technician's still working on that broke down windmill. No guards were around so that was a relieve for Tim, but he looks to the right side of the deck was he saw her. Abigailsweets was leaning onto the rail, looking over the ocean. Now Timothy had thinking going on in his mind, mostly a lot of things coming into his mind. About what to say to her, how to greet her, and well why was she here earlier then him. Timothy saw that she was looking out towards the ocean, and she always did like to look out to see the ocean. Abigail would do it a little often everyday, and Tim knew that cause he would always see Abigail looking out of the steamboats windows during class. Timothy probably knew why she was staring out to the ocean, maybe just likes to look a the ocean water he thought.
Timothy approach just closely to the side of Abigail. Abigail didn't see him coming but when Tim got close it made Abigail turn her head towards Tim. She had that smile again and Timothy just let out a blush on his face again.
"Hey Tim." Abigail said now looking fully at Timothy now. Timothy raise his mouth but no words would come out. He was to shy, Tim felt his mind talking to him or something.
"Oh come on Tim, she right there just say hi back for crying out loud." his mind was saying. Timothy was to nervous to say a thing to her now. He was so distracted on what to say. Then he heard a voice and he got snap back out of his mind, and back into reality.
"Timothy?!" Abigail said a little loud. Then Timothy finally spoke.
"Sorry, Hi Abigail." he spoke quick and smiled. Abigail look at him with a look, just that look where somepony would try to study what's going on. Suddenly Abigail let a smile out cross her face.
"It's alright." she let out a giggle then moves her front hoof's away from the rail, and facing directly at Timothy now.
"So, shall we just take a walk around the deck." Abigail said, as she look to Tim. Timothy nod his head slowly still in nervous mode but his heart was beating like a train engine again.
"S-sure." and with that Abigail began to walk down the side of the deck, as Tim quickly followed beside her as they began to have there nice stroll round the steamship.
They had pleasant conversations both Timothy Tim and Abigailsweets. The thirty minutes of them talking about foalhood, and to talking about soups they get every Friday. Tim was enjoying it mostly as he always wanted to have time alone with Abigail. Timothy would always never forget this moment he would say.
At the end Timothy and Abigail were on the same rail of the deck looking down at the ocean together. Timothy lean onto the rail and looked at the ocean, there was just miles and miles of ocean and nothing else but cloudy clouds above and around. Timothy now wanted to ask a question to Abigail and spoke up to her.
"So you, always out looking at the ocean?" Abigail glance over at Timothy then back at the ocean.
"Yes, everyday i like to look over at the ocean" Abigail took a breath. "But not mostly to look out to the ocean, but just to think." Tim look over with that questionable look on his face.
"What do you think?" Timothy ask. Abigail looked over, and fell to a warm smile.
"I been thinking that we ponies can do more."
"More?" Tim ask tilting his head a little to the side.
"What i mean is, that we should be going out to see land and Equestria. Alaskan told our parents the story of Equestria." Abigail continue. "There so much i want to see, I want to explore."
"How would you explore if your stuck on the ship." Tim ask.
"How?, i don't know. I know all ponies can't leave the ship, and Larkhoover is not going to let the pegasus fly out of the ship no more." Abigail sigh and looked over the ocean.
"Your right about that, no pony can leave the ship. Captain Larkhoover won't even start up the steamship and head over to Equestria."
They both gave a silent moment looking over at the ocean. Tim also thought about Beetlespring, he was a pegasus but wasn't allowed to fly inside or outside of the ship. Mrs. Jennysprings wasn't able to, and not even others weren't allowed to fly. Tim hated that part of the rules but though he can't leave the ship, but what if Abigail was right. He thought to himself for a moment, what if there was more that we could of done. What if traveled for once, what was the big deal of staying in one exact place for the rest of the ponies life's here. This wasn't right, as Tim thought more, there could be a change. But Tim had thought about the technician life. If they did go to this land Equestria, what would his technician skill take him. Would there be other ponies out there in Equestria. No maybe not, the story that Alaskan told was that the mega spells could of wipe out all pony life.
Abigail turn to Tim once more. "Ponies don't deserve to be down inside a ship for long. They need to walk on soil for the first time." that mare got off the rail and walked away. "Thanks for the walk Tim." She went back inside the lower level of the ship, out of Tim's sight. Timothy was still on the deck, he was looking towards the ocean. He heard behind him the guards training on the center of the deck, but all of what Tim was thinking about was Abigail's words.
"Timothy Tim." a voice that sound close to Tim's ear made Timothy turn around to see Captain Larkhoover standing on his four hoofs behind Tim. Larkhoover was kinda short for a adult stallion, but though he was Captain, and son of Alaskan Wailer. He had that bush beard and darkish orange mane with curly dark hair. He always wear that fancy captain's outfit around him. He looked pretty mad and always tired looking every morning, always working in that little captain's office.
"Yes sir?" Tim said in a reply. Lark lean over to him and cleared his throat.
"Sorry but you need to get off my deck and head to class." he grin and Tim nod. He didn't want to get a hoof kick to the flanks, at least what Tim thought he would do to those that didn't get to class. Tim just in time got to class and got out is late homework.
