It was nearly 9 AM when the staff of R.M.S Titanic ship of Southhampton, England was getting ready to depart from the docks. People were waiting around the enormous ship as luggage was being lifted on board. A car was being lifted onto the ship, some people stared as they waited at the fine scene happening in front of them. They've never encountered a ship this size ever before. Rose Bukater and her family was in a car with their chauffeur driving them towards the ship, young Rose was helped out of the car and she looked up to the ship, examining the size.
"I don't see what all the fuss is about. It doesn't look any bigger than the Mauretania." Rose turned to Caledon, her fiancé. "You can be blase about some things, Rose, but not about Titanic. It's over a hundred feet longer than Mauretania, and far more luxurious." Cal stuck up for the ship with a disbelieving smile.
Meanwhile, in a nearby Ford t-model, Averdiena's family, the Durans were also emerging from the seats. She eyed her engagement ring that was shining so brightly in the sunlight. Averdiena was accompanied by her mother Fauna who was the most enthusiastic about her upcoming wedding once they arrived in New York. Literally when the ship had reached the dock, Avery'll be in her wedding dress and her parents had already let Jack Dawson, her fiancé pick out a tuxedo.
"We're to board this ship immediately," Avery's father, Arthur ordered of Avery and Fauna who smiled delightedly to him. "Er, father could I wait around for Jack?" Avery said with a pleading look. "Very well, darling. Don't get lost." He replied politely, walking his way towards the ship of dreams.
Avery was told that Jack was gambling for his tickets so he and his Italian friend could board too since Avery's parents weren't willing to pay them both 1st class tickets.
Jack shouted happily as he and Fabrizio were running towards the Titanic, avoiding bumping into people here and there and were hoping to catch Avery before her family boarded the ship. The two friends dodges some horses as they continued to sprint towards the ship.
Avery was flustered as she felt her arm being tugged on by Jack. She broke into a run which was very painful but she followed Jack and Fabrizio. "What took you two so long?" Avery asked but was heeded no reply. "Wait! We're passengers." They finally reached the ship's docking catwalk and showed the staff their tickets.
The trio entered the dazzling ship and were panting and catching their breaths as they all walked down the hallway. "We are the luckiest sons of bitches in the world!" Jack cursed cheerfully. Avery smirked at his use of language but waved it off.
Jack, Fabrizio, and Avery walked to the open deck and started waving goodbye to random strangers as the ship was finally starting to take off. "Give me some monay." Fabrizio called to the crowd as they waved. Avery glanced to Jack and then they glanced to Fabrizio. "That's not the point." Jack mentioned matter of factly. Avery wondered why even in the first place wave to these unknown people but she guessed it was a very exciting day for all.
"Goodbye, we'll miss you!" Jack yelled at the crowd. "Farewell!" Avery waved elegantly towards the crowd excitedly. "We'll never forget you!" Fabrizio spread his arms widely in a grande sort of gesture sincerely. After the waving of hands and hand holding onto hats were finished, passengers were scattering about to find their cabins.
Avery's cabin was located on the A Deck. She soon found it and saw her family unpacking some clothing and toiletries as she walked through the door. "How's Jack?" Fauna asked. "He's really happy to be here." Avery responded and sat on her newly claimed bed. "Are you?" Fauna asked. "Of course, mother. Why would I have agreed to come then? I could've easily lived with aunt Celeste." Avery reminded her mother who's mostly forgetful.
"Why don't you change into a casual attire? Your father's busy meeting the other first class men on board." Fauna suggested with a grin. "Casual, alright!" Avery cheered for joy.
Not too much later, Avery was changed into a shirt which was a bit ruffly at the shoulders and had a loose way about it at the end. The shirt had a white waist band around it and the shirt itself was pink. Avery's high heels remained the same and her strawberry blonde hair was all over the place. She didn't care what anyone thought about her fashion likes. She was eyeing the staff who were placing paintings around the room, vases, and jewelry cases on tables. She was exhausted from the lack of sleep of the night before because she was too restless about today to sleep.
"Mother, could I possibly lay down and relax?" Avery questioned in a light tone. "Of course, dear, just don't oversleep." Fauna knew Avery was tired from the way she sounded as she spoke.
Avery laid down on the bed she claimed earlier and threw off her silver high heels onto the floor and adjusted her head to the pillow to get comfortable.
Avery closed her eyes and started thinking of her hometown in America.
She was born in Louisiana on May 1st. She couldn't wait for her birthday it was oh so near.
Avery thought back to when she rode horses as a little child until she moved to Liverpool when she was ten years old because her father had some job offering then he got fired recently and the Durans were fascinated by the Titanic so they decided to return to America and they plan on living in New York where Jack and Avery could raise their children when the time came.
The dark begins to rise inside Avery's eyelids and she began to lose grip of reality and she snuck into a dream far from it.
