April 15th. That date was stuck in the minds of Troy and Gabriella Bolton. Nothing could make them forget it. That day brought them closer together. What they went through just to survive would never break them apart. Twenty one years later, they are now living with a family and the friend that went through the experience of the titanic along side of them. With four kids, all they asked was how their parents met.

The cool breeze of the April weather hit the teenage girls face. Sitting on her balcony she looked over the New Mexican surrounding taking everything in. Pushing her sandy brown hair out of her brown eyes, she sighed as she saw her parents car pulling up.

"What you doing up there?" Her father hollered up at her as he stepped out the car.

"Thinking," She replied.

"Where are your siblings?"

"Living room," Adrianna Bolton told her mother as she made her way to the room she had just mentioned. As she stepped down the last few carpet lined stairs, the sight of her parents brought a smile to her face. Even at forty the two still looked at each other like they had just met at nineteen.

"What you smiling at miss?" Troy Bolton asked his fifteen year old wagging a finger in her face.

"You and mom if you have to know," Adrianna stated as her mother smiled. A cough interrupted the moment of the eldest child to her parents, standing in the doorway was her younger siblings. Her younger brother by a few minutes stood above the other boy and girl by a good two feet.

"Mom can you and dad tell us a story?" Noah, the youngest asked.

"Sure what one?" Gabriella wondered walking over to the ten year old.

"The one where you and dad met sounds good," Dallas suggested to his mom.

"Again? Guys you've heard this hundred of times," Troy leaning against the door frame stated as the other member of the family of six walked into the living room.

"Dad its like a tradition though. On April 15th you tell us the story and what day is it today?" Adrianna questioned sitting on the arm chair beside the fire place. Troy rolled his eyes towards one of his daughters and nodded towards Gabriella.

"Ok fine," Gabriella said finally giving into her four children. Both sets of twins sat on a chair or a part of the sofa as Gabriella sat in the middle. Troy wandered into the kitchen letting Gabriella start the story off.

"Where do you want me to start?" Gabriella asked.

"The beginning, duh," Hayden told her. Letting out a small laugh Gabriella looked back. Back into her memories of the day she found out she was going back to America on the Titanic. Or in chains as she put it.
