> A Night To Remember > by I Am The Night > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Ticket To Titanic > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay, before I begin, I must say a few things. This is set after Chapter 3 of Crowley's story, "A Lover's Choice." SPOILERS: In chapter 3, you agree to have sex with Aloe. With lust basically controlling you, you end up saying that you have no regrets with cheating on Lotus, who is watching you. Lotus then tells you that it's over between you and her. She also bans you from the spa permanently, and makes you leave. FOREVER. Now, stupid me, I chose that ending first. After that, I had a fantasy that It was Thunder suffering through this. Then, him and Rookie, Rainbow, Aloe and Lotus go on a ship similar to Titanic, but called S.S. Equestria, then I changed it to Gigantic, then decided to have it called Titanic because if I debate on the name, I'll just get tired and cancel the story. Well, cancel it, no, but I'll end up debating for days. Now, then. Onto the story. Oh, and all of my stories will be in Thunder's P.O.V. and all stories will have Thunder in it. I'm that kinda brony. :] A Night To Remember Chapter I: Ticket To Titanic April 8th, 2012 2:30 p.m. Thunder's Home Thunder's P.O.V. It had been two days since I made that mistake...that stupid, lust-driven mistake. I should've just said no. If I did, we'd still be together. *flashback* I turn desperately to Lotus, watching as her love for me slips away. “I’m sorry,” I choked, “I really am.” “Save it,” she blinks away a fresh wave of her tears, “This will hurt me far more than it’ll hurt you. You‘re not the stallion I‘m looking for…” This can’t be happening! It’s all going so fast, my heart was breaking, and there was nothing I could do to save her love, “Lotus, please, no!” “It’s over between us.” Mournfully, she raises a hoof, pointing at the door. “I don‘t think I have to tell you about your permanent spa ban either. Just… go. And never come back.” And that’s it. My heart lies broken due to my own foolish, lust-driven mistakes. I'd protest, if I knew I wouldn’t break down from trying to talk. With the weight of my guilt, my pain, my fault heavy in my stomach, I took the slow trot of shame out of the door, and out of their lives. Looking back towards them for the last time, one fact stood out like a piercing thorn; I will never see Lotus’ face - or Aloe’s - ever again. *end of flashback* After that, I came home, and sat on my couch, for hours. I didn't even know how long I was sitting there. At some point, I just went back to my room and went to sleep. I don't even know when I ate last. Eventually, I heard the front door open up. I looked and saw that It was the stallion who calls himself Rookie, and his marefriend, and my friend, Rainbow Dash. "Oh. Hey, you two," was all I managed to say. "Thunder? Man, you look awful," he said in shock. "Thank you," I said before chuckling. "What happened?" Rainbow asked. "Somethin' with you and Lotus?" Rookie asked me. "You could say that," I replied. "Like what?" he asked. "Uhh...." I really didn't know what to say. I was afraid to say it at the moment, but they're my friends, so they might understand. So, I stood up and told them. When I finished, they were shocked. "Why would you say that?" Rainbow asked. "It was lust that drove me to say it. Lust can make anypony do stupid things, like it did with me. Clearly, I had many regrets with cheating on her. I don't like her for just her looks, I like her for who she is! She likes things I like, I like things she likes...well...I'm not sure about her liking what I like anymore...All I know is that I screwed it up...big time..." I sat down on the couch again, and sighed. "And I won't be able to fix it ever again." I buried my face into my hooves. After a few moments, I looked back up at them. "Anyway, why're you here?" I asked. "Right," Rookie replied. He then took something out from the satchel he was wearing, and gave it to me. It was a card. No...a ticket. It read on it: FIRST CLASS TICKET ON BOARD THE S.S. TITANIC! LEAVES MANEHATTAN TO PRANCE ON MAIDEN VOYAGE APRIL 10th. THE OWNER OF THIS TICKET WILL GO TO ROOM B-34. DON'T MISS THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME! "Whoa. First class ticket to...Titanic?" I asked. "Yeah. We were given 3 tickets, and decided to give the third to you," Rookie replied. "Uhh...Th-thanks. Wait, what about the others?" "They're busy enough. They won't notice we're gone," Rainbow replied. "I'd hide that ticket if I were you, by the way." I chuckled, knowing what the others did when Twilight got those tickets to the Gala. "Don't worry. I'll keep it hidden." "Alright, we gotta run," Rookie replied. "Seeya." "Later," I replied. The two of them then ran out of the door, and flew into the air. I even heard them giggling as they ran out. I think I know what they'll be doing when they get home. I then grabbed a suitcase, and began to pack only the things I needed, pocketwatch, journal, clothing. I barely see anypony other than Canterlot citizens wear clothes, but since this is a fancy ship, I should at least LOOK fancy. As I was packing, my eyes wandered to a picture frame on a table next to me. The picture showed me and Lotus on our first date. Lotus rested her head on my shoulder, and I looked down at her, smiling. Just looking at this picture nearly brought a tear to my eye. I then placed the picture into my suitcase, and zipped it up. Now that I'm packed, I should get snacked. Maybe Sugarcube Corner will satisfy my needs. I got up, but before I left, I hid my ticket inside my suitcase, and placed the suitcase upstairs near my bed. I then headed out. Time to get a snack. The Spa 2:35 p.m. Lotus sat there at the counter, making sure everything was good in the spa. Once she checked if everything was working properly, she decided to go out for a bit, maybe get a snack. Just as she was about to leave, the door opened, ringing the bell above the door. Happily, she turned to the door. "Hello, welcome to the spa, how may I help you?" she asked. She looked to the door to see Derpy standing there, a letter in her mouth. "Hmph!" she yelled. Derpy then giggled and placed the letter on the counter. "Hi, Lotus. I have mail for you!" "Thank you, Derpy." "Bye!" and in a moment, as quick as she came, she was gone. Lotus then took the letter and opened it. What was inside were two tickets that read: FIRST CLASS TICKET ON BOARD THE S.S. TITANIC! LEAVES MANEHATTAN TO PRANCE ON MAIDEN VOYAGE APRIL 10th. THE OWNER OF THIS TICKET WILL GO TO ROOM B-38. DON'T MISS THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME! "Wow," she said to herself. "What is it?" Aloe asked as she neared her sister. "I just got two tickets for a cruise ship called Titanic." "Ooh, sounds fancy. When does it leave?" "April 10th. That's two days from now. It leaves for Prance." "I've always wanted to go to Prance. I've heard they have a very relaxing spa there. That'll be good." "Yeah...." Lotus then remembered about last night. Aloe knew what she was thinking. "Hey," she said to her twin sister, "You need to stop thinking about him. He's gone, and now you can find a stallion who actually cares about you." After a moment, Lotus sighed. "Yeah, you're right." "C'mon. Let's go pack." A minute later, as the two began to pack, Lotus spotted a picture of her and Thunder on their first date. She examined it for a moment, before picking it up, and placing it into the trash. "Farewell, Thunder." Well, I'm not really proud of this chapter. If anypony has something they would like me to change, let me know. Also, as I said before, this is my version of what happens after Chapter 3 in "A Lover's Choice." With my OC. And Titanic. The Equestrian version. :3 Okay, also, It's Friday, and after today, I only officially have 3 days of School left. Then it's off to High School. Or Summer School. Also, this is total BS right here. I came to school in September (Where I live, school starts in august), and my teacher said she gave me a math textbook. She never fucking did! So, now, she wants me to pay for a textbook I never got. You know what? FUCK YOU, teacher. I ain't payin' for a book you never gave me, and if you don't like it, IDGAF. Anyway, I decided to give you a new story, seeming some are waiting for chapter IV of MoaF (Mother of a Foal). I'll upload it tomorrow. Goodbye for now. > The Grand Lady Herself > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alright, I'm passing my grades in school, so there's a good chance I might be spending summer at home, not in fucking summer school. What's bs about summer school is that if you get like a 69 (Hehe...) in one class, and 100 in all other classes, you have to take summer school. BULL. SHIT. Wait...I'm completely off topic here. Okay, here's the second chapter. Enjoy, mates. Chapter II: The Grand Lady Herself April 10th, 2012 Manehattan Harbor 11:45 a.m. Listen on another tab. After packing up and hopping onto a train, I arrived at Manehattan, and once I got to the harbor, I saw it. The mighty ship, in all of her glory....Titanic. From what I've heard about this ship, it had 9 decks, it was 175 feet from the keel to its funnels, and was about 882 1/2 feet long, making this ship the largest and safest of all of Equestria. Many ponies said this ship was safer than dry land. They even called it 'Unsinkable.' I continued to look at the glorious ship for a few more moments, before a voice startled me. "Hey, Thunder!" I turned around to see Rookie and Rainbow Dash flying down to me. "Hey!" I yelled to them, smiling. "So," Rookie said, "What'd you think?" I looked back to the Titanic. "Looks amazing. I've never seen a ship like this before." "You got your ticket?" he asked me. I held the ticket in my hoof. "Yep." "Hey," I then added and looked around, "Are there any other pegasi boarding the ship?" "Nah. Dashie and I are the only ones." After he said "Dashie", I could see Rainbow blushing. "Ain't that gonna be a little bit...weird, being the only two pegasi on the entire ship?" "Not really. The ponies might not even notice our wings." Just after that, the horns of the great ship blared through the air. Rookie checked his watch on his left foreleg. It said "11:50 a.m." "We got 10 minutes. We better hurry." "Right." I grabbed my bag off the ground, and began to follow them. We had reached one of the many doors on the side of the ship. There, a stallion in a crew uniform stood there. "Halt. Tickets, please." We handed him our tickets. After he checked them, he stepped aside. "Welcome aboard Titanic." "Thank you," Rookie replied. The three of us then walked into one of the rooms of the grand liner. We walked down a long hallway which led to B-Deck. The halls were crowded with ponies trying to get to their staterooms. Eventually, after searching for about a minute, we found our staterooms. Rookie and Rainbow shared B-33, which was right next to B-34, which was my stateroom. I opened the door to my stateroom to see the big interior of it. It had a closet, a table with a lamp on it, a queen sized bed, and a door which led to, I believe, the bathroom. "Pretty cool," I said to myself, "This'll be good." I was just about to enter my room, but before I did, I caught sight of...no way...L...Lotus? Aloe? Just 4 rooms down, I spotted the mare I still love, Lotus, and Aloe. Why were they on this cruise? I stared at them for a couple of seconds, and could see Lotus giggling at something. Celestia, I miss that giggle. I continued to look at them, until Lotus ended up looking down the hallway, where she could easily see me. Quickly, I turned away and entered my stateroom. I shut the door. If she's on here, I don't want her to think I'm following her. But...maybe...Since we'll be on this ship for about a week, I should at least try to speak to her, and maybe...fix all of this...which won't be easy... 30 seconds earlier B-38 Lotus's POV After boarding the huge Titanic ship, I headed down to B-Deck with Aloe, and eventually found our stateroom, B-38. "Here we are," I said to Aloe. I then opened the door, and wow'd at the interior of our stateroom. It had a queen sized bed, a decorative dresser, a decorative table with a red shining lamp on it, and a door which probably leads to the little filly's room. "This is amazing," I heard Aloe say behind me. I giggled slightly at her comment. I then looked down the hallway to see a stallion that really resembled...him. But, for some reason, the stallion was looking down here, but quickly turned away and went into his stateroom. He really resembled Thunder. Is it possible it could be...him? "Lotus?" I managed to hear Aloe say to me. I turned my head to her. "Yeah?" I replied. "You okay?" "Yeah, fine. Just saw something down there for a moment." "Alright, then." Aloe then headed into the stateroom first. I followed shortly after her. But, that stallion...I need to see him later on. 12:00 Noon Titanic Up on Deck Thunder's P.O.V. So, after we got all of our things placed into our staterooms, we headed up onto the deck of the ship, as Titanic began to depart from Manehattan to Prance. Ponies began to wave goodbye to us, and we waved back to them, even if we didn't know who they were. "Goodbye! See you later!" I yelled! "See you soon!" Rookie yelled. "Farewell!" Rainbow yelled. Eventually, the ship had left the harbor. It passed a nearby sailboat. "Wooow!" a young colt on the sailboat said, as the Titanic sailed by him. Eventually, many of the passengers on deck went back into the ship, back to their staterooms. I stayed up on deck, smelling the fresh air, and watching Manehattan as it slowly got smaller and smaller. I looked to the open ocean. Titanic is on its way to Prance. So, now the Titanic is on its way, not to Prance, but to disaster. Anyway, Lotus ended up seeing Thunder, she doesn't know if it's him or not, Thunder doesn't know if she saw him or not, yadda, yadda, yadda. So, the soon-to-be-again couple is on the ship. What things might happen? Well, you just fucking wait and see. How many words on this chapter? *sees number of words on chapter* FUUUUUUUUUU-! DATS SHORTER DAN LAST CHAPTAH! Eh. At least ya got a chapter. So many words errors FTW. Chapter III will be up soon.
