I do not own Titanic

My name is Cecilia and I'm nineteen. I have long brown hair and bright blue eyes. I am boarding the Titanic today in 3rd class to go to America to my family. See they left a while ago but I wanted to stay in my home town of Ireland. I boarded in Southampton even though she went to Ireland and I could have gotten on there, but I wanted to say good bye to a family friend in Southampton before I left.

When I got to the docks I saw a very big… no more like gigantic ship. I looked at her in awe before I went through the inspection. Afterwards I walked up the 3rd class gangway and saw an officer at the top. When got to the top I handed the officer my ticket and smiled.

"Name please?" he said looking at me.

"Cecilia Edwards." I said looking back at him.

"Let me just find your name… Aye here we are room D-73." he said looking up from his clipboard. I smiled. "Thank you." I said. "You're welcome." He said looking at me. I felt my cheeks grow red and I turned and walked away. After walking around for about 10 minutes I found my room. Since I was traveling alone I would be in a room with someone I most likely won't know. When I found my cabin I opened to door to see a young girl who looked about my age and an older woman who I'm guessing was her mother.

"Hello, my name is Cecilia Edwards." I smiled holding out a hand.

"My name is Samantha Picket and this is my mother." Said the younger one as she pointed to her mother,

"Hello." The mother said. "I'm Ruth Picket." We sat talking for a while when I asked them if they wanted to come watch the ship depart. Samantha decided to come but Ruth decided to stay and get settled a little.

When we got outside there was barley any room by the rails but we managed to get in and wave off into the crowd. I felt the deck vibrate and heard a roar coming from far below the decks and saw the gap from that separated the Titanic from the dock becoming bigger and that's when it hit me. We were on our way to America.

After a while Samantha went back to the room and I decided to walk the deck a little bit. As I was walking around I wasn't paying much attention and knocked right into someone causing me to fall backwards to the ground.

"Oh my are you all right miss…" he man started. I looked up and saw the officer who checked my ticket. "Edwards. And yes I'm alright." I said. He reached his arm out to help me up.

"Thank you Officer…" I started.

"Moody. Sixth officer James Moody but please call me James." The officer said. I nodded. "Okay then I insist you call me Cecilia." I said with a smile and that's when I actually looked at him. He had deep brown eyes and brown hair and a warm smile. I couldn't help but feel myself blush. I turned my head the other way hopping he wouldn't notice.

"Cecilia, well that's beautiful name for a beautiful girl." He said looking at me. I turned around and looked at him confused. 'Was I beautiful? Or was he just saying that?' I asked myself.

"Excuse me?" I said looking at him. "I said you have a beautiful name." he said looked at me.

"Oh well thank you Officer."

"Please call me James." he said looking at me his brown eyes sparkling in the sun I couldn't help but smile at him.

"Okay then… James." I said giggling. "Well I must get back to my cabin and unpack. It was nice meeting you." I said getting ready to turn around but his hand grabbed my arm.

"Will I see you again?" he asked me with pleading eyes.

"Only if you want." I said walking away leaving a very confused yet happy Sixth Officer James Moody. When I got back to my cabin I saw Samantha and her mother finish unpacking a few things. I smiled at them before unpacking a few of my things.

James POV*

I walked back to the bridge where I saw my fellow Officer and friend Fifth Officer Harold Lowe. "Hello Harry." I said.

"Aye James you look awfully happy. Is there something I should know about?" he asked me.

"Well I met this girl today on deck; she was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen. Not to mention very funny and nice." I said.

"What was her name?" Harry asked me.

"Cecilia Edwards. She's traveling in 3rd class." I said looking out the window of the bridge.

"James you have to be careful you don't want to get dismissed because you fell in love with a passenger." Harry said. I turned around and looked at him.

"Who said anything about me being in love with her?" I asked him. 'I'm not in love with her am I? I mean I just met her.' I thought.

"James, just be careful and make sure I met her." He said and walked out towards the deck. I sat and thought for a moment before I walked into the officer's mess to get a cup of tea. When I walked no one was in the mess so I got my tea and walked back out on the bridge. I admit I did want to see her again but when would I? This ship is huge. Next thing I knew I heard the door behind me open and the captain walked out.

"Mr. Moody I trust everything is running smoothly so far?" he asked me.

"Aye sir, we should be in Cherbourg this evening." I said. He smiled and nodded. "Thank you Mr. Moody." He said and walked out.

I looked at the clock on that wall and saw it was 3:00 and I decided to walk around the decks for a little bit. I walked down towards the 3rd class decks hoping to see Cecilia again.

Cecilia POV*

I walked outside and stood near the stern watching the trail of water behind us. I had never been so happy before I was finally going to see my family again. I'm going to Miss Ireland so much and all my friends but I know that I can come back and visit soon. I looked up at the sky and took in a huge breath; I knew that going to America would be for the best. I stared out at the water for a little bit longer before turning around to go walk around the deck. When I got towards the railing on the side of the ship I heard someone walking up and standing next to me. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed the person must be a crew member since he wore an officer's uniform.

"When I asked if I'd see you soon I didn't know we'd meet this soon." I heard the officer say.

I looked up and saw Officer Moody. "Oh Officer Moody, uh- James I mean. What brings you here?" I asked him immediately feeling stupid since he works on the ship and it's his job to walk around and check on passengers.

"Well I actually came to look for you." He said. I looked up at him shocked and confused.

"Me?" I asked. "But why?"

"Well I'm not on my shift right now and wanted to get to know you better." He said.

"Well what do you want to know?" I asked.

"Anything you want to tell me." He said offering me his arm. I took it and we walked around.

"Well as you know my name is Cecilia Edwards, I'm nineteen years old and my birthday is August 14th. I'm from Ireland if you can't tell and I'm going to meet my parents in New York. What about you?" I asked him.

"Well my name's James Paul Moody and I'm twenty-four. I'm from Scarborough England and I lived with my parents. But as of now my address is the RMS Titanic." He said we both laughed a little.

"When did you want to become an officer?" I asked him.

"Well when I was younger I loved to go to the ports and watch the ship's come and go. Once I met the captain of a ship, I forget what ship but he introduced me to the crew and they told me what it their jobs are. Ever since then I wanted to be an officer." He said. "I worked on many smaller ships when I was in school training but it wasn't until last year I started working on larger ships. My first was the RMS Oceanic I was her fifth officer, then I was transferred to the Titanic."

"Wow James it must be fun always being out at sea traveling the world. Being free out on the open waters you know, living life with no regrets." I said looking out at the sparking water's. we walked around and talked for another hour or so before James had to go.

"Well it was a pleasure walking with you Cecilia but I must go now, we will be dropping anchor in Cherbourg soon I hope we can do this again sometime."

"It would be my pleasure James. Good-bye for now." I said smiling at him.

"Bye Cecilia." And then he walked away. I walked back towards the railing watching the ship slow to a stop and feeling the slight jolt when the anchor dropped. Looking at the lands of France in front of me and watching the sunset, smiling the entire time.
