Dominic Walters was about to board the cruise liner, Viaggio. This was his first spring break trip without his parents. It was just him and his girlfriend, Monica Smith. Actually, there were four other friends going with them. Jonah Ericson, Dominic's best friend, was one of them. Dominic had invited Jonah, and Jonah had brought his girlfriend, Keri Phelps. The other two were friends of Monica. Alicia McAllister was Monica's best friend. Jason Quinn was her boyfriend.
Dominic and Monica had been planning this trip for months. This was supposed to be the best week ever, but Dominic had a strange feeling that he couldn't shake. He was strangely nervous and scared for no reason at all.
He just shrugged it off, and walked onto the ship, Monica's hand in his. They quickly found their room, room 180,and opened the door. Inside, they saw the nicest room they had ever seen. It was beautifully decorated, everything having a tropical theme to it. The blankets on the beds had palm trees and dolphins on them, as did everything else.
"Oh, Dom, it's amazing." Monica was thrilled.
"I know." Dominic was still quite nervous and still had no clue why.
They heard a knock on their door. Dominic opened it and saw Jonah and Keri.
"Hey! Dude, this is going to be the best spring break EVER!" Jonah was obviously a little overexcited, as he usually was about everything. Keri was more of the quiet type.
"The rooms are beautiful. Aren't they, Monica?"
"They sure are," Monica replied. "Let's go check on Alicia and Jason."
They all headed out to look for them, but couldn't find them. Then they looked on the loading dock and saw them.
"Alicia! Jason!" Monica cried, trying to get their attention. When they finally saw her, Monica asked, "What are you two doing? We're leaving in," she checked her watch, "four minutes!"
Alicia cupped her hand around her ear and shrugged.
"Damn it. They can't hear me. I better go down there. Dom, come with me."
They headed down back onto the loading dock. Luckily, they had grabbed their boarding passes. For some reason, Jonah and Keri had decided to follow them. Dominic didn't mind, though. They ran up to
Alicia and Jason.
"What the hell are you two doing? We leave in three minutes, now." Monica was clearly annoyed.
"Chill out, Mon. We're next in line to get our passes. We got caught in traffic." Alicia was also annoyed.
In less than a minute, Alicia and Jason had their passes.
"There," Monica said, relieved. "Now we can continue this trip without any interruption."
They all walked onto the ship. Their spring break had finally begun. The lobby was as beautiful as the rooms. In the center, hung a chandelier. There was a glass elevator on one side.
A few minutes after the ship had cast off, Dominic started to feel nervous again. All of them were standing in the lobby, but Monica ran to the elevator so she could grab her camera.
Suddenly, they felt a massive tremor, followed by screams. They had crashed into another boat. Smoke quickly filled the room as the entire ship caught on fire.
The massive chandelier crashed to the floor, crushing Keri.
Jonah ran to her side, but as he ran, one of the engines exploded, decimating half of the lobby, along with Jonah.
There was a gaping hole that lead to the engine room, which was about two stories down. Another engine near the back of the ship exploded, causing Alicia to fall into this hole.
Jason fell backwards, impaling himself through the chest on a steel rod that had emerged from the floor.
Dominic looked around and saw the glass elevator. It was hanging out of the surrounding glass by a cable. It snapped and Dominic watched in horror as it smashed toward the ground, Monica inside.
A third engine exploded. The blast was coming toward Dominic. Then everything disappeared.
"Now we can continue this trip without any interruption."
"No! We can't go on the ship." Dominic was trembling after this horrifying premonition.
"Dom, what are you talking about? We have to go on this trip," Monica was frustrated.
"We can't. I just saw the ship explode.. Everyone died. All of us. We can't go on the ship."
"Are you okay?" Keri asked.
"He's fine. Let's just get on the ship. Now." Monica was pulling Dominic with her.
"Everyone on board!" They heard a man shout from the ship.
"I'm not getting on. I'm not. I refuse." Dominic was terrified.
He started to walk away from the ship, hoping the others would chase after him. Luckily, they did.
"Dominic! Get your ass on that ship now." Monica was infuriated at that point.
"No. I don't want to die," Dominic said, whispering.
They heard cheering as the ship cast off. Monica screamed.
"Dominic, I hate you. You just ruined what was supposed to be the best spring break of my entire life. Now we have to just watch it leave us. Look at it. It's so beautiful." She started sobbing. "Dominic, we are over. I never want to see you again in my life."
"Mon, isn't that a little extreme?" Alicia asked. "I mean, I'm sure they'll give us a refund on our..."
She stopped, staring at the ship. They all turned to look. It was about to hit another ship.
"Oh my God," was all Monica could say.
Screams could be heard from the ship. Loud explosions filled the air. Every second, the chaos increased. They ran to the edge of the dock to see if there was anyway they could help.
"DUCK!" Someone screamed and everyone ducked down on the dock. Then, the entire ship exploded.
