Captain E.J Smith"
April 9th, 1912*
I woke up at 7:00 and looked out the window like every other ordinary day, but today was not just any ordinary day. Today I was going to Belfast to board the unsinkable Titanic and he sixth officer. I walked over to my desk and looked at the letter on my desk I picked it up and read it again. But I just couldn't believe it, I was a girl, but I was a officer on the grandest ship in the whole world. And better yet my uncle Andrews designed and built the ship. How wonderful is that?
"Alison dear come down and eat!" my mother yelled up at me.
"Okay mother I will be down in a minute." I put the letter down and walked downstairs. I got into my dining room and saw a big breakfast.
"How are you feeling?'" my mother asked.
"I'm really nervous; I mean I'm going to be the only girl officer on the ship, what if the other officers don't like me." I sighed sadly.
"Don't worry darling you'll do fine, and with how beautiful you are those officers won't mess with you." My mother said. It made me feel a little better. "oh and your uncle will be here at 9:00 to take you to Belfast, so don't worry your uncle will be on the ship with you." Now that made me fell a lot better. I excused myself and went upstairs to get ready. My uncle told me to wear my officers uniform even though we don't sail that day, every officer has to wear it.
"Alison darling you uncle is here!" I heard my mother say. I grabbed my bag that had some of my things in it, I took one last look around my room. I was getting ready to walk out when I turned around and walked over to my desk and took out a small box. Inside the box were two necklaces, one had a small anchor on it and the other one had a small angel on it. I closed the box and put it in my bag. I walked out of my room and smiled. I walked down stairs dropped my bag and jumped into my uncles arms.
"Oh Alison your 13, yet you still act 10." My mom, my uncle and I all laughed. "well dear we better get going we don't want to be late." I looked over at my mom. I walked over to her and hugged her as hard as I could.
"I'm going to miss you mother." I said. A single tear slid down my cheek but I whipped it away.
"don't worry darling, I'll see you soon. Being an officer was your dream, now that you've achieved it, go and live it." my mother said, we both smiled, I gave her one last hug and backed up. I took one last look around my house, the place that I grew up in. now I'm trading it for sailing around the world. Me and my uncle walked outside and got in the carriage, and it pulled away.
At Belfast*
We pulled up at a dock next to the biggest ship I have ever seen in my life.
"I can't believe you built this." I said in amazement.
"well lets go and have you meet the Captain and crew." We walked up the gangway into the bridge. There were six men in there all dressed in uniform and I imidiantly recognized the captain.
"Hello Mr. Andrews." Said the captain.
"Mr. Smith, how's the ship holding up?" my uncle asked.
"She's almost ready sir."
"good good. Ah men this is my niece Alison." My uncle said. I looked at the other officers and gave a small smile,
"this is 1st officer Murdoch, 2nd officer Lightoller, 3rd officer Pitman, 4th officer Boxhall, 5th officer Lowe and our chief officer Moody." I smiled at all the men who tipped their caps, but when I looked at officer Moody I looked at him for a second longer. There was something different about him, a good different and I couldn't wait to get to know him.
