As Avery drifted off to sleep, she saw colourful pictures in her mind's eye. Avery was dreaming of seeing the Statue of Liberty once more, herself in the wedding dress. Avery's dreams then turned south, she dreamed of receiving abuse from Jack. Slapping, hitting, and verbal. Avery did not wake up from this nightmare however.

She continued to sleep restlessly in her bed as she was fully aware of this new nightmare occurring...

Avery bounded down the stairs of the Titanic to the main floor. She was wearing her wedding dress which was a pale white colour with a bit of feathers and she was wearing crystal like heels as she stepped carefully on the steps where Jack waited for her at the bottom stair. "'Ello, Jack." Avery greeted him with a peck on his cheek.

Rose appeared by Avery's side with Cal at hers. "Hi," they greeted her. Avery responded with a little nod as everyone felt the ship shaking distinctly oddly. "Was that...?" Avery trailed off, taking a huge sigh. "Nothing can sink this ship, Avery." Jack reassured her coldly. "If you say so." Avery said in disbelief. Suddenly, there was water seeping through the main floor and a mental sound of shattering glass. Avery's leggings were soaked and her white dress grew damp as the water rose higher and Jack, Rose, Cal, and Avery lost their footing.

The water felt unimaginably cold.

It was next afternoon, and Avery was wearing a tank top with a grey knee cap length skirt. She was walking around the open deck with Fabrizio and Jack, heading to the hull of the ship. It was a sunny day and she could not thank the lord that her father was busy with a meeting today so she could wear whatever she liked today. The trio grabbed onto the railing and leaned over to have a look at the silky blue sea.

Then they gazed up at the beautiful blue sky. It was an exquisite sight to see for everyone. "Hey, look, look, look!" Jack suddenly outburst, pointing to the sea. "See it?" He asked Fabrizio and Avery. "A dolphin." Avery stated as she watched the grey sea creature swimming far away from the Titanic. "There's another one." Jack pointed in a different direction now. "See 'em?" He questioned. "Look at that one. Look, look, look at him jump." Jack caught Fabrizio's attention as a school of baby dolphins swam rapidly forwards. "Oh, hoo hoo." Jack cheered the baby dolphins onwards.

Jack grabbed onto a rope and Avery stepped onto a railing which was hard to balance on since she still had to wear those stupid silver high heels. She grabbed onto Jack's hand for balance as Fabrizio said, "I can see the Statue of Liberty already." He looked to Jack and Avery with a smirk as he pointed ahead. "Very small of course." He added as he noticed Jack and Avery squinted into the distance.

Without warning, Jack let go of Avery's hand as she now kept her balance by keeping a firm grip onto the railing. "I'm the king of the world!" Jack shouted, flailing his right arm in the air. "Whoo hoo!" Jack cheered wildly and Fabrizio tagged along. "Whoo!" Avery cheered as well as Jack then held onto nothing and pretended he was flying behind Fabrizio.

Avery tried not to let her dream faze her this morning but she was starting to get weary and suspicious of what it means. She decided she'd bring it up with Jack later because for now, they're having the time of their lives and Avery didn't want to be a spoil sport for all that mattered.

Jack, Fabrizio, and Avery decided they had enough of fun for a while and they walked around the front of the ship, chatting and telling stories. "I'm so happy for you two." Fabrizio told the engaged couple. "Well, thanks." Avery gave him an appreciative smile. "It's a real big deal when two friends get married." Fabrizio continued. That comment broke Avery into tears as her dream entered her mind involuntarilyy. "Avery, what's wrong?" Jack asked as Fabrizio stood back, confused what he could've said to cause her in tears. "Last night I had this dream which turned into a nightmare..." Avery began as Jack patted her back in reassurance. "And?" He encouraged her to tell on.

"I was in my wedding dress, descending the main staircase of the ship and all the sudden water started to rise and-and..." Avery was too teary-eyed to continue. "I think we can predict the ending." Jack said softly. "It was just a dream." He reassured her and Avery collected herself and wiped her tears away. She mentally cursed as she remembered the makeup would run after a sobbing fit. Fauna was sure to ask what happened.

Fabrizio had departed the couple as the day progressed. Avery and Jack were sitting on a bench still on the open deck as Jack was sketching a father and his daughter. Avery looked out into the sky. Tommy Ryan, a scowling young Irish emigrant, watches as a crew member comes

by, walking three small dogs around the deck. One of them, a Black FrenchBulldog, which Avery thought as among the ugliest creatures on the planet.

"That's typical. First class dogs come down here to take a shit." Tommy comments before inhaling a drag from his cigarette. To clear her mind, Avery thought a cigarette would do that quickly. "Ey, do you think I could have a cigarette?" She asked politely. "Sure," Tommy nodded and lit up another cigarette for her. Avery took the cigarette as Jack looked up to Tommy. She inhaled it deeply, immediately feeling the relaxing mood. "It lets us know where we rank in the scheme of things." Jack added on to Tommy's comment. He glanced to Avery shocked by her urge of a smoke because she's only a light smoker maybe that dream had really rattled her. "Like we could forget." Tommy said. "I'm Tommy Ryan," He introduced himself.

"Jack Dawson," He replied as he shook hands with Tommy. "Avery Duran." She said as Tommy took her hand and kissed it as a greeting. He's nice Avery thought as she took another drag of her cigarette. Tommy went back to his spot and looked to Jack. "Do you make any money with your drawings?" No response, Jack was distracted by a woman who was walking towards the upper level's railing. Avery took notice of this. "Jack! No staring." She hit his shoulder playfully. "It's rude." She reminded him. "Forget it boy, you'd as like have angels fly out o' yer arse as get next to the likes o' her." Tommy told Jack as he continued to stare at Rose... Rose? Avery thought in distress. "Good, cuz I'm his fiancee." Avery informed Tommy who frowned.

Rose took notice of Jack's staring and she looked confused as to why Avery was sitting next to him. Avery waved quickly and Rose nodded subtly in return.

It was nightfall as Jack and Avery lay on benches opposite of each other, each smoking a cigarette as if in sync. Fauna and Arthur Duran didn't mind how late Avery stayed up just as long as she was up next morning. "Look, you can see the Big Dipper." Avery pointed to the twinkling stars as she and Jack gazed upwards.

It was silent after that and it was good to be quiet for a change. The open deck was deserted after all.

Suddenly, there were high heeled footsteps and a quick gasping sound passing by the two benches. Immediately the couple sat up, staring after Rose. What the? Rose thought as she and Jack continued to watch the rustled Rose.

She ran all the way to the front of the ship, hesitating as she watched the splashing waves of the sea.

Rose grabbed onto the railing and hoisted herself up, she got onto the other side of the railing, nearest to the icy cold waves below. Rose turned herself around, now looking at the blue water.

Rose was leaning forwards as Jack and Avery approached her. "Don't do it." Jack advised, reaching an an arm towards her. "Stay back." Rose ordered of them. Did she even noticed Avery? "Don't come any closer." Rose added. Ignoring Rose's orders, Jack took a few steps forward. "C'mon give me your hand, I'll pull you back over." Jack requested. "No!" Rose refused quickly. Avery was wide eyed and shocked, she didn't think Rose was at all suicidal, especially when they were aboard the Titanic. "Stay where you are!" Rose yelled over the loud crash of the waves.

"Rose, he's going to help you." Avery growled impatiently behind Jack. "You know her?" Jack asked. "Long time friends." She nodded. "If you won't accept his help, I will help you." Avery added politely. "I mean it." Rose was saying to Jack, pretending Avery wasn't with him. "I'll let go." Rose threatened as Jack and Avery adopted looks of concern. Jack to a drag from his cigarette then threw it into the sea. Avery continued on with her cigarette as she watched what was to happen next. "No you won't." Jack said in an even voice. "What do you mean "no I won't"?" Rose asked, perplexed. "Don't presume to tell me what I will do and what I won't." Rose shrilled. "You don't know me."

"Well, you would of done it already." Jack pointed out. "You're distracting me, go away." Rose demanded. "I can't. I'm involved now- we're involved now." Jack glanced to Avery who looked like she was forgotten.

"You let go and I'm gonna have to jump in there after ya." Jack said, taking his jacket off and gave it to Avery to hold onto. "Don't be absurd." Rose commented. "You'd be killed." She added as Jack put one leg up on a black anchor to untie his shoes. "I'm a good swimmer." He said confidently. Avery was turning livid. Why was Rose being so stubborn, risking her fiance's life in the process of her own. She took a drag of her cigarette and pretended she was a mute.

"The fall alone would kill you." Rose pointed out. Why would Rose even consider such a thing? Avery thought as she glanced to the floor of the deck. "It would hurt. I'm not saying it wouldn't. To tell you the truth, I'm concerned about that water being so cold." Jack said, taking a shoe off then untying the other. Rose glanced to Jack and he returned it. There were a few seconds of silence before Rose asked, "how cold?"

Avery then begun to pace back and forth still holding onto Jack's jacket, trying to not think about her dream. "Freezing." Jack replied knowingly. "Couple degrees over." He added. Jack finally took his other shoe off and stood up. "Have you ever been to Wisconsin?" Jack asked. "No." Rose was still perplexed. "Well they have some of the coldest winters around, and I grew up there,

near Chippewa Falls. Once when I was a kid me and my father were

ice-fishing out on Lake Wissota... ice-fishing's where you chop a hole in

the—" Jack was beginning to explain but was interrupted.

"I know what ice fishing is!" Rose snapped. "Sorry. Just... you look like kind of an indoor girl. Anyway, I went through

some thin ice and I'm tellin' ya, water that cold... like that right down

there... it hits you like a thousand knives all over your body. You can't

breath, you can't think... least not about anything but the pain." Jack said in depth. Avery looked over and shuddered at the very thought.

"Which is why I'm not looking forward to jumping in there after ya." Jack added sadly. "Like I said, I don't have a choice." Jack said, taking off his other coat. "I guess I'm kinda hoping you'll come back over the railing." He added pleadingly. "Get me off the hook here." Avery frowned at Rose and then stood beside Jack, giving that same pleading look to her. "You're crazy." Rose said. "The both of you." She added matter of factly. Finally she sees me. Avery thought in relief.

"That's what everybody says but with all due respect, I'm not the one hanging off the back of a ship here." Jack said. Avery stifled a laugh. "C'mon, give me your hand. You don't want to do this." Jack said. "He's right." Avery added. Finally, Rose slowly and delicately grabbed onto Jack's hand and began to turn around. "Phew," Jack sighed in relief as Rose fully turned around. "I'm Jack Dawson," He introduced himself. "Rose Bakuter." She replied shakily.

"You already know me." Avery said calmly. "Jack's my fiancé by the way." She informed Rose. "C'mon." Jack was about to lift her up from the railing before her dress got in the way as she attempted to step. Before anyone could blink, Rose slipped from the railing as Jack leaned in to grab her hand in time.

Avery heard Rose scream in fear as she turned her back on the scene, not wanting to witness any of it. "C'mon." Jack was saying. Nearby, members of the staff heard the shrieking screams. "Please help me!" Rose said. "C'mon, I've got you." Jack reassured her as Rose flailed about. "I won't let go." Jack said quietly. "Now pull yourself up." He advised. "C'mon."

Jack grunted as he helped Rose up and onto the railing. "C'mon."

Jack grabbed onto Rose's arms as she was closer to safety, he finally pulled her over and they both landed on the floor, Jack was hovering over Rose as the staff came nearer. Avery threw her cigarette into the sea. "What's all this?" Rowe, a staff member asked and Jack gave Rose some space as she quickly panted for air.

Rose was breathing deep shaky breaths as the staff eyed Jack's coat and shoes strewn onto the floor while Avery stood inside a shadow to not be spotted. "You stand back. Don't move an inch." Rowe instructed, pointing to Jack who stood up. "Fetch the Master at Arms." Rowe ordered.

Soon, Rose was wrapped in a blanket provided by the staff and Jack was being handcuffed. Avery stood beside him. "But he didn't do anything!" She protested, the staff ignored her, thinking this 1st class girl was crazy enough to even be near him. "Completely unacceptable." A somewhat 30 year old man told Jack with a scold. "What made you think you could put your hands on my fiancee?"

"Some nerve." Avery scoffed silently. Jack's eyes landed on Rose. "Look at me, you filth!" Cal requested, shaking Jack once forcefully. "Cal." Rose said calmly. "What do you think you were doing?' He asked Jack again. "Cal..." Rose repeated.

"Don't call my fiance filth!" Avery snapped, capturing the attention of Cal. "You, marrying this filth! I've seen you around the a deck, missy." Cal returned hotly. Rose stood up, nearing Cal. "Cal! Stop, it was an accident." Rose insisted. Truly if it were an accident, why put Jack through all the fuss? "An accident?" Cal repeated in disbelief. "It was." Rose continued. "It's stupid really. I was leaning over and I slipped." Rose explained which pursuit awkward silence as Jack gave a confused look. "I was leaning over to see the uh-uh," Rose was stumbling for the word as she looked to Jack. She made a spinning motion with her finger.

"Propellers?" Cal suggested. "Propellers." Rose nodded. "And I slipped and I

would have gone overboard... and Mr. Dawson here saved me and he almost

went over himself."

"She wanted to see the propellers." Cal announced to the staff. "Like I said, women and machinery do not mix." Gracie, an older staff member said. "Was that the way of it?" The Master at Arms asked Jack expectantly. "Yeah, yeah that was pretty much it." Jack replied honestly as he could. "Well the boy's a hero then. Good for you son. Well done." "So it's all's well and back to our Brandy, eh?"

Jack had his handcuffs off as Cal glanced back to Avery with a smile then turned to look at Rose with concern. "Look at you. You must be freezing." Cal said, rubbing Rose's back to give her some warmth. "Now, perhaps a little something for the boy?" Gracie asked to Cal, gesturing over to Jack with his head. Jack and Avery were walking towards Jack's clothes, unaware. "Of course," Cal agreed, eyeing Avery. "Uh, Mr. Lovejoy, I think a twenty should do it."

"Is that the going rate for saving the woman you love?" Rose asked, incredulously. "Rose is displeased," Cal stated with a smirk. "What to do?" Cal asked as Jack put on his coat. "I know." Cal added to that. "Perhaps you two could join us for dinner tomorrow evening." Cal approached the couple with his staff. "To regale our group with your heroic tale." Cal offered.

Avery and Jack exchange wary glances. "Sure." Avery replied for both. "Good. It's settled then." Cal added and he and the staff turned away. "This should be interesting." Cal commented as Rose continued to stare at Jack and Avery before turning around to join the men. Out of ear shot, Jack whistled to Lovejoy. "Can I uh- bum a smoke?" Jack asked Lovejoy turned around and walked forward. Lovejoy presented a pack of cigarettes to Jack. He took one and stuck it behind his ear and the other in his mouth. "You'll want to tie those." Lovejoy glanced at Jack's shoes. "Interesting, the young lady had slipped so mighty all off the sudden and you still had time to take off your jacket and your shoes.

Lovejoy smiled knowingly and walked away. Jack and Avery stared after him.
