Hey, hey! I just decided to put this up today, I just finished a book about the Titanic and I really want to do a new story to help with my writers block, so this should be good. I don't really know much about the time period other than the Titanic, I have done a lot of studying on that, so if you notice anything wrong with something, please let me know!
I hope that you all like it! Please review!
"Oh, Honey!" Elizabeth exclaimed, who had her arm through her husband, Peter's "It is perfect!"
The two walked on to the USS Titanic and they knew that this really was grander than any other boat that they had ever been on.
Peter made a lot of money with his job and he liked to treat his wife to frequent vacations all around the world, and as soon as they heard about the Titanic, he just knew that he an his wife had to go, and from the look on her face at that moment, he knew that he was absolutely right!
They were first class passengers on this grand ship, it was a little pricier than Peter would have liked, but when the bell boy came to them and escorted them to their room, they knew that this was worth every penny.
"Is that all, sir?" The poor boy who carried all of there bags asked.
"Yes," Peter replied, taking out some cash and giving it to the boy, "Thank you, that should be all."
The boy gave Peter and Elizabeth a small nod and a smile then left. Elizabeth gave Peter a smile and a sweet hug, "Thank you so much!" she said.
He leaned down and kissed her gently on the lips and smiled; "You are more than welcome, my dear." he replied, he would do anything for his wife.
"This room is beautiful!" she said, letting go of Peter and walking over to the bed and gently sitting down, "This is going to be the best trip to America that we have ever taken." she said with a smile.
"Yeah, well I am just happy that you are here with me, as long as you are here, it will be an amazing trip." he said, walking over to his wife and leaning down to kiss her once more.
Later that night, the Burkes went to enjoy a nice dinner on the sky deck. The sun was still in the sky, but it was quickly sinking into the water, leaving vibrant shades of oranges, yellows, and reds.
The waiter brought the two to a table and gave them their menus. While they were looking through them, they heard a commotion from the deck below them, and out of curiosity, they got up to see what it was.
When they looked down, they saw that there was small group of three boys that were dressed in ragged clothes and had dirty faces being chased by an older man that looked like he worked on the ship. The older man was yelling at the boys to something back, but the boys kept going. The oldest looking boy knocked down a chair and the worker tripped on it, so the boys got away.
"Wow, dinner and a show." Peter joked
Elizabeth just shook her head and smiled, "Aren't we funny tonight?"
"Oh yes," Peter replied huskily, "We are."
They both shared a giggle then got back to looking at their menus.
They both gave their dinner orders to the waiter then sat back in silence. The silence remained for a few minutes, when Elizabeth broke it with conversation; "Did you see how young those boys were?" she asked her husband, "The oldest one couldn't have been older than 12."
Peter just shrugged; "Just some kids looking to get into trouble." he replied.
"But how did they even get onto that deck?" she asked, "Did you see their clothes, they were old and beat up, and that little one, I think he was maybe six, his face was all black and dirty, it looked like they were steerage passengers." she told her husband.
Peter had to admit, they did look really poor to be on a deck of that high of a level, his wife was probably right, she usually was, those kids were most likely steerage passengers. "I guess your right." he told her, "It is curious about how they got up this high on the deck if they are only steerage."
"Yes," Elizabeth agreed, "I wonder what they took to be so valuable."
"I don't know, but I will ask a worker tomorrow about it and see if he know," Peter told his wife as the waiter re-appeared with their dinner, "but for now, let us eat!" he said, digging into his food, which was amazing, this really was going to be the trip of a lifetime.
So what do ya think? It is a little different from my usual M.O. so I thought that I would shake it up a bit, please let me what you think about it so far. And one more thing, if you have any ideas of some activities that they can do on the boat, you know, before the ice berg, please let me know. I want this to be a good story, so that means a believable one, and that means that I can't really have the ship sink right away, that took a couple of days for them to find the iceberg in the middle of the ocean.
Oh, and one more thing, if any one questions any location or something to that affect, you know, anything that has to do with the physical layout of the ship, you know, if you think that something doesn't match up, I have a map that I got when my class visited the water research center that sent out the search crew that acually found the Titanic, so anything that I write about something like that, I have looked it up on my map, it is right. But if you have a question, please feel free to let me know because I would love to answer them. hahaha, have a great night and please review on your way out!
