So I did it. Showing everyone just how unoriginal I am, I wrote an AU based on Titanic. Yeah. That god-awful movie. (Well it was all right, but Leonardo DiCraprio ruined it for me.). It's a part-parody/part-serious story with stuff based on the Titanic miniseries that no one knows about. So there's some humor...
Anyway, although the Jack and Rose scenes are similar, none of the characters playing the roles will be like Jack and Rose. You get what I'm talking about? I mean personality-wise. All the characters in this will be very much in character just like on the show. I hope.
Although the main couple's a het couple, there is also a yaoi couple here. I'm not telling you who. At all.

Deep, navy blue.
Cold
That was all she could see and feel. In fact, she was engulfed in it. She looked up above her. It was brighter up there. She struggled to swim up to the surface, away from the frozen blue. Just then, something the shape of a circle was falling down. She was able to catch it. It was a record player. And it looked familiar too. But that was the least of her worries. Something huge slammed into the navy blue. Bubbles and debris kept her from seeing what it was. Finally she could see the letters.
Suiko. Wasn't she on the ship just a minute ago?
Suddenly she began to fall deeper into the sea. The ship was pulling her down. She tried to swim upward, but the pressure was too great. She gasped, only to fill her lungs in the water, as she fell deep into the sea, with the ship...
"GYAAA!!" A blue-haired young woman shouted and sprung out of her futon. She looked around the room she was in. The room was empty. Was everyone else up?
"Botan?" A quiet voice called out. Botan looked up and saw a smaller blue-haired girl. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Yukina," Botan grinned. "But you know...I had this weird dream..."
Yukina sat next to her and asked, "What was it about?"
Botan looked up. "I'm not sure...but it was creepy...not groovy at all."
"Well, hurry up," Came a voice. The two looked up and saw an older, brown-haired woman named Shizuru Kuwabara. "That Suiko ship leaves in two and a half hours."
Botan suddenly screamed. "Oh no!! I don't wanna miss it!" She picked up the futon and shoved it in the closet. The other two looked at her strangely as she ran to the bathroom.
Yukina looked up at Shizuru. "I came to wake up the guys, but Kazuma and Yusuke weren't there. And Hiei does not know where they are."
Shizuru muttered. "Gee. I wonder why. Kurama and his family are all waiting for us, though. They're already at the dock."
"Yusuke!!" Yet another woman shouted. Her name was Atsuko Urameshi. She looked up at the other two and asked. "Do you know where the hell we went now?!"
"Nope."
"Because he's still grounded."
Soon, everybody went on a bus toward the dock. Botan started singing happy songs about the sea or being lucky. Atsuko had won a trip to Hawaii on the large cruise ship and could bring as many as six people with her. Very generous and unreal yes. Kurama and his family—his mother Shiori, stepfather Hatanaka, and his stepbrother Shuichi—decided to take a family vacation for couple's one year anniversary.
Yukina looked at her brother. "Hiei? Are you glad to be coming to the trip?"
Hiei was going to reply but Botan but in. "Stop being a downer! I bet there'll be lots of stuff to do on the Suiko. Like...um..." She flipped trough the brochure. "Ah yes! Free movies! American movies! That "Bonnie and Clyde" movie is definitely showing."
"Already seen it with Yusuke," Hiei replied. "Wasn't violent enough."
"Oh..."
"..."
"Oh! Well how about dancing! There's a groovy band called The Clowns and they play songs by Jimi Hendrix, the Mamas and the Papas..."
Shizuru smirked, "Oh I'm sure somebody will be selling some Alice B. Toklas brownies."
Yukina, Atsuko, and Botan looked at her strangely.
Then Botan asked, "Why do they call them 'Alice B. Toklas' brownies?"
Yukina suddenly looked out at the window. Her eyes widened. "Is that the Suiko?"
It was a huge ship, obviously. One of the hugest ships ever since the Lusitania, but certainly not as big. It was slightly larger than the original RMS Queen Mary. It was white. All white. People everywhere came to see the wonder or to take part in her maiden voyage. It was March 1968, and Japan decided to compete with the other industrialized nations in building an ocean liner or cruise ship, even though they were no longer as popular, thanks to airliners. It was going to Hawaii, and then San Francisco. People (wealthy that is) from all over Asia took part in it. Then there were the people that won second class tickets to take part in the trip at least to Hawaii (like Atsuko and her group, as well as Kurama's family).
A limousine stopped by. The chauffer came out of the car and opened the passenger doors.
And out came a young, brown-haired girl. No more than sixteen. She was amazed at the sheer size of the Suiko. She turned to an older woman and a man. "Mother! Do you see that!"
The woman looked at it...and was somewhat disappointed. "Why Keiko, it's just as big as the Queen Mary," was her reply, which disappointed Keiko in return. Couldn't her mom stop spoling everything?
The man chuckled, "Well, your daughter is right. It certainly IS amazing."
So ends chapter one of this god-awful fanfic. Yeah, Keiko's mom and stepfather are my own characters here (her awesome parents from the show do not exist. At all). Even though I am a dubbie and would normally use "Kayko" and "Kokoda," I decided to go with the original names, since Kurama's going to be...Kurama anyway. Yeah I'm going to go and look for more '60s references.
Oh, someone please tell me the name of someone who helps you take stuff to your cabins. And I need a name for someone you give the tickets to in order to go in.
Thanks!
