It All Starts In Australia

AN: This story is a new one, although the idea has been used before. The cast of Titanic getting on a ship and then finding themselves on the actual Titanic. However, this one is going to different as they will actually be getting on Titanic II, the ship currently being built in China, all thanks to an Australian bloke by the name of Clive Palmer. I wouldn't mind getting onboard it one day, to be honest.

Kate, Leo, and Alexandrea all shook their heads in dismay as the familiar crumbling of the Titanic hitting the iceberg reached their ears. It was 31 years since they had even come close to experiencing something like this, but it was still as scary as it was familiar. History, according to New Zealand band Split Enz, never repeats.

The stars of the 1997 film Titanic had never expected that that part of their lives would also become a part of their history. James Cameron, the director, had asked them, along with a number of other co-stars, to be the first passengers aboard the Titanic II, and they had all been for it. The new ship was constructed in a much safer manner than the original, and there were many precautions taken to ensure that what had happened to the original in April 1912 wouldn't happen again to such a dangerous extent.

These days, there were to be enough places on lifeboats for all passengers, and men, women, and children could all board together with no fear of being left behind on a sinking ship. Also, there was to be 24-hour communications with ships in the area, and an organization known as the International Ice Patrol was created after the Titanic's demise to inform ships of icebergs in the areas of Europe, The United States, and Canada.

As the three Titanic stars wonder what on earth they were going to do, the door to Kate and Leo's first-class stateroom bursts open and four other co-stars join them. Unlike Leo, Kate, Alexandrea, Billy, and Francis, all of whom had portrayed fictitious characters for the movie's storyline, Ewan and Victor had respectively portrayed the Titanic's First Officer William McMaster Murdoch, and Titanic's shipbuilder, Thomas Andrews, both of whom had been considered brave men who had worked valiantly until the end.

"What on earth are we going to do now?" Kate asked, worry evident in her tone, and for good reason. It wasn't as if James Cameron could suddenly yell out "Cut!" and then everybody went off to lunch.

"We could either get into lifeboats, or we could hope that, despite it being real, is simply inside our heads," Victor pointed out.

Ewan chuckled darkly. "I don't think I'll be getting into a lifeboat anytime soon," He said, causing Kate to raise an eyebrow at him.

"Isn't the real William Murdoch meant to be on duty?"

"Aye," he told her, wondering what her point was.

"Then surely you'd be able to get on a lifeboat?" She inquired.

"I seriously doubt it. Women and children first, remember?"

As he said this, the door to their living room was flung open by a very harassed-looking steward. He gasped out in stunned horror when he discovered Ewan and Victor amongst the others.

"What the blazes is going on!?" He cried out, causing everyone to look up at him.

To the others, there was nothing wrong with Ewan and Victor being in the same room with them , but to the steward, it looked as if the First Officer and the Shipbuilder were there for some odd reason.

Understanding the poor man's shock, Ewan gives the man a calm smile.

"I'm not your First Officer, even though I look remarkably like him."

"I see. Do you know how to row a lifeboat, Sir?" The Steward inquired, and he nodded, before calling, "Dress warmly and put on your life belts," as he left.

The passengers all looked at each other, and shook their heads.

"So, how are we to get out of 1912?" Victor wondered, and they all shrugged, wondering how they had managed to get from the Titanic 2, to the original.

AN: What do you guys think?
