William gulped as he stared out a porthole, seeing the seemingly endless miles of ocean.
"Oh my god..." William muttered, with wide eyes.
"Uh... Did I mention I can't swim?" he added nervously to the other three behind him.
"Yeah, you did." Yumi said.
"I- I can't either..." Odd added.
The group continued looking out of the window, with worry.
Meanwhile, Anne and Dylan had gone up to the deck, surprised at what they saw.
"Holy crap..." Anne muttered, going wide eyed.
The sight was rather beautiful. They could see the ocean stretch out for miles and smell the ocean air.
"It's pretty..." Dylan stated.
They peered over the railing and Anne paled seeing now high up they were.
"Heights... Why'd it have to be heights?" she murmured.
"Are you alright...? Are you afraid of heights?" Dylan asked.
Anne stepped back from the railing.
"You know I am." Anne shuddered as she backed away a bit, accidentally bumping into a male passenger. "S-Sorry." she apologized.
The male passenger smiled at her.
"It's alright, ma'am." He said.
The man tipped his hat to them before walking off. Dylan led Anne to the front of the ship.
"Remember a scene similar to this in the movie?" Dylan asked.
Anne smiled, staring out into the ocean.
"Yeah... I do..." Anne replied.
Dylan smirked as he got an idea.
"Dylan, I know that look..." Anne said cautiously. Dylan took her hand and led her up to the front. "What're you-?" she asked.
Dylan wrapped his arms around her and gently put her in front of him, turning her around to face the ocean as he wrapped his hands around her waist.
"Dylan...!" Anne muttered in embarrassment.
"We may as well enjoy this while we can." Dylan told her.
Anne blushed as she turned to look back at the ocean.
"I- I guess..." Anne replied.
Anne reluctantly spread her arms out, feeling the wind run through them.
Dylan smiled at her.
"You like this, sweetie?" Dylan asked.
"Please don't tell anyone about this." Anne requested, blushing a bit.
"Hehe... Sure thing." Dylan smiled.
Anne smiled a little as she looked ahead, spreading her arms out wide.
Dylan smiled as he held her to him, while rubbing her stomach.
"T-That tickles!" Anne said, trying not to chuckle.
Dylan helped her down. "Sorry..."
Anne giggled, locking her hand with Dylan's.
"That was fun..." Anne said, smiling.
She then regained her posture, running a hand through her hair.
"Let's not speak a word of this, okay?" she asked.
Dylan smirked, leaning close to kiss her cheek. He pulled back, grinning.
"Of course, Annie." Dylan replied.
MEANWHILE WITH ODD, YUMI, WILLIAM, AND ULRICH...
Odd stared at the dining room with shock. "Ohh... I'm in heaven!"
"I wouldn't eat any of this... Trust me, I've read 'The Jungle'. All of this food probably has bacteria EVERYWHERE." Yumi stated.
"Come on, Yumi! It's FOOD! Food, for God's sake! I'm hungry!" Odd exclaimed.
"You're always hungry, Odd." Ulrich deadpanned.
"Because I LOVE my stomach! And my stomach loves food! Now, if you'll excuse me..." Odd said.
Ulrich, Yumi, and William watched Odd run into the dining room.
"All you can eat?! Sweet!" they heard Odd exclaim.
William slapped his forehead. "Why are we stuck with him?"
"Because everyone in the group has a sick sense of humor..." Ulrich replied.
Odd then screamed, seeing a large tray of steaks.
"HALLELUJAH!" he exclaimed.
This earned him some stares from some of the passengers.
Even the captain of the Titanic, Captain EJ Smith, noticed Odd being himself.
Ulrich's eyes widened seeing the captain. "Oh my god... That's him... Captain EJ Smith..." he whispered.
"Who?" William asked, curiously.
"The captain of the Titanic on its maiden voyage! He went down with his ship when it sunk." Ulrich whispered.
The three teens stared at Captain Smith, seeing he and everyone at his table were all watching Odd being... well, being himself.
Odd was chowing down into the roast beef, soup, steaks, and dessert there like there was no tomorrow. Ulrich facepalmed and shook his head.
"Sometimes I wonder how he manages to ignore those stares..." he muttered.
"Years of it must dull the effect..." Yumi stated, bluntly.
Odd noticed his favorite dish of food. The only one left in the entire dining room...
And it was on Captain Smith's plate...
Ha paled seeing who the person was. 'Darn it... That's the Captain's...' he thought.
The blonde haired teenager swallowed what he was eating.
Captain Smith rose an eyebrow as he looked at Odd.
"My word... Did something terrible happen to you? Why is your hair like this?" Captain Smith asked.
"What? No! I styled my hair like this! It's cool!" Odd replied.
"It looks like you've been electrocuted... Is that why you eat so much?" another person at the table asked.
"Nope!" Odd replied cheerfully.
Captain Smith smiled at Odd.
"Well, feel free to sit with us. A boy with a svelte form like that MUST eat." Captain Smith stated.
Odd grinned. "You're the first person who called me svelte and not scrawny!" he whooped before he dug right into the food.
The two others at the table had disgusted looks as they watched Odd eat.
Captain Smith, however, laughed. He smiled as he gestured towards Ulrich, Yumi, and William.
"Come and join us! There's plenty to eat!" Captain Smith invited.
The trio of teenagers reluctantly sat down at the table.
"Sorry about our friend here." Yumi apologized.
"It's quite alright. I've dealt with people who eat a lot." Captain Smith replied, smiling.
Odd munched happily into some steak.
Captain Smith smiled at the teens.
"In a few days we'll arrive in New York... I assume you kids are excited to see America?" Captain Smith asked.
"Y-Yeah..." William stuttered, thinking about how the shop would crash in just a few days... and no one on the ship but them knew.
Captain Smith had a look of happiness.
"You know, this is my last tour as a captain... I officially retire after this voyage." Captain Smith informed.
Yumi thought sadly, 'His last voyage he'd be on ever...'
Odd slurped up some soup.
"I'm overjoyed that you're retiring soon, Captain. There isn't a better man who can sail the Titanic." One of the people at the table complimented.
"Quite right." a man agreed.
Captain Smith relaxed in his chair, still smiling.
"Once I retire, I'll need to get a good hobby..." Captain Smith stated.
Just then, Anne and Dylan came into the dining room together.
"Anne! Dylan!" Yumi called, trying to get their attentions.
The duo walked over to them after noticing.
"Ah, friends of yours?" Captain Smith asked.
"Yes sir. Anne Marshall and Dylan Enheart..." Ulrich introduced.
Dylan and Anne smiled as they sat with the group.
Soon, they ended up chatting with the Captain.
"You know, this is my final trip." Captain Smith stated, smiling.
"I'll be retiring after this." he added.
The group instantly went silent, some of them looking away from Captain Smith and the other guests at the table.
"Something wrong?" a passenger asked.
"No, nothing at all." Ulrich lied.
Captain Smith sighed, and stood up.
"I beg your pardon, but I must retire back to my quarters... After all, this ship can't sail itself." Captain Smith said, jokingly.
And with that, the captain left the dining hall.
Yumi sighed with guilt, knowing what would become of the captain in less than three days...
Soon, all the Lyoko Warriors had gathered to meet in the dining hall.
Jeremie had a wide eyed look, remembering who the other two people at the table were. The couple with his last name.
He gulped as he tried not to look at them while the Lyoko Warriors sat together.
"Jeremie, any idea how we can get back to our own time?" Anne whispered.
Jeremie shook his head.
"No... Not at all..." Jeremie replied.
Anne banged her head on the table. "Dammit... We are in SO much trouble here."
"Relax, Anne... I didn't say it was impossible to get back. But I need time..." Jeremie whispered.
"Do you even have the laptop?" Odd asked.
Jeremie blanched as he tried to find his laptop, realizing it wasn't with him. It must have been left back in 2015!
"Oh no!" Jeremie exclaimed
They groaned. "Are we frickin' stuck here?!" Chase asked.
"I don't know... MAYBE..." Jeremie replied.
"I'll try to find my laptop. In the meantime we should be prepared for what's gonna happen..." Jeremie whispered.
"We have three days... We'll need to be ready for ANYTHING." Dylan stated.
"Could we try to warn the people to be ready?" Yumi asked.
"They won't believe us." Ulrich muttered.
"And even if they did, all we'd do is start a panic..." Chase agreed.
"So if it doesn't work, they are still doomed." Odd summarized.
Yumi sighed, shaking her head.
"Either way people are gonna die..." Yumi stated.
"Aren't there some we could save?" Dylan asked softly.
"No... We can't interfere with any of this... You know of the 'Butterfly Effect', right? Changing something in the past could have HUGE consequences in the future." Jeremie stated.
"But-!" Anne protested.
"Jeremie's right... What if saving a person on this ship changes everything in the future?" Aelita asked.
"But... That first class girl... Loraine Allison? Yeah. She was only TWO when she died on this." Yumi whispered. "You want to let an innocent kid die?"
"NO! Of course not! But... But what if something bad happens because she lives?" Jeremie asked.
"What happened after she died?!" Anne hissed.
"All of the twentieth century!" Odd stated, smirking at his little 'joke'.
Anne and Ulrich smacked him upside the head. "This is serious, Odd!" Ulrich hissed.
Jeremie sighed.
"I feel terrible about all of this... but it's too risky. We CAN'T save ANYONE." Jeremie said, sadly.
"this is bullshit!" Dylan hissed.
"What do you think we CAN do?!" Jennifer asked, frowning.
"Look, who of our ancestors survived?" Ulrich asked.
"Well... I do know Emma survived... So did Chelsea Enheart... Elena Marshall and a couple others... I think the Belpois couple... Heinrich Stern..." Aelita listed.
"Could there be more of our ancestors on here?" Yumi asked.
"Yes... But we will have to be careful of who we save." Aelita said.
The group nodded in agreement.
"What about the animals? Will that affect the future if we save a dog?" Anne asked.
Jeremie shrugged. "That, I don't know."
"Maybe it'll end up being Adolf Hitler's dog...?" Odd guessed.
This earned him getting flicked on the forehead by both Anne and Ulrich. "Odd, for once in your life, can you please focus?!" Ulrich asked.
Odd rubbed his forehead as he nodded.
"I think I had an ancestor who died here..." he said.
The group all went wide eyed, all looking directly at Odd.
"What...?" Chase asked, surprised.
"Yeah... His name was Robert Della Robbia... His son and wife survived, though..." Odd told them.
"Jeez... Anyone else have a dead relative on here?" Ulrich asked.
Some of them merely shrugged.
"I just realized something... I CANT PLAY GALACTIC INVADERS!" Odd whined.
Everyone in the dining room looked straight at Odd, hearing every loud word he said.
"What's 'Galactic Invaders'?" a woman asked.
Yumi and Ulrich covered Odd's mouth with sheepish smiles. "Hehehe... Sorry about our friend... He's always blurting nonsense." Yumi chuckled nervously.
Everyone in the room went back to either eating, talking, or whatever else they were doing.
"You moron, keep it down!" Ulrich hissed at Odd.
"He has a point... I can't watch The Walking Dead anymore!" Anne groaned.
"I can't see Doctor Who! O- Or watch stupid people on YouTube!" Chase agreed.
"What am I supposed to do now that I don't know what happens to Rick next?!" Anne whined.
"I wanna see the Doctor again! I'm so sad!" Chase whined.
Jennifer rolled her eyes. "Shut it, you two!" she hissed.
"Well, what do you propose we do now?" Aelita asked Jeremie.
"We... I don't know... Just try to fit in until we get back, I guess... It'll be REALLY hard unless I find my laptop." Jeremie said.
Anne slammed her forehead down on the table at this.
William buried his face into his hands with extreme annoyance.
THIRTY MINUTES LATER...
Anne was walking through the halls.
Anne saw Dylan, Jeremie, and Aelita outside of the group's room.
"Dude, we are SCREWED if we don't get off this thing." Dylan said.
"I know, Dylan! But we can't do anything without that laptop! Look... We have about three days to find it. If we don't, it'll sink with the Titanic, and we'll be TRAPPED here!" Jeremie replied.
"Well, go look in the luggage!"
Jeremie's eyes widened before he slapped his forehead. "Why didn't I think of that?!" he asked himself before he darted off.
Aelita, Dylan, and Anne ran after him.
Unfortunately... They didn't see which hallway Jeremie went down.
"Damn it." Anne groaned.
"Where'd he go?!" Dylan asked.
They couldn't see him anywhere. Anne groaned and started pacing back and forth. "Great. JUST great. It's bad enough some of the ladies here are asking me about my clothes..."
"We'll find him... Look, Jennifer and Chase went to the cargo hold earlier. Maybe they could help us find him." Aelita suggested.
"I'm just praying those two ain't doing the dirty in there." Dylan muttered.
"I didn't need to hear that." Aelita groaned.
"That's a valid concern..." Anne stated.
"Look, let's just settle down and think of a plan to get off this thing." Aelita said before they headed back to their stateroom.
They nodded and walked back to the room.
They walked into the room, seeing Odd snoring and sleeping on his bunk.
Dylan rolled his eyes and sat in a chair.
Aelita and Anne sat on a small sofa in the room.
William looked out the porthole in the window with a sigh. "We are so screwed..."
"We'll think of some way to get home, William..." Aelita said
"And if we don't?"
"Please don't say that..." Yumi groaned.
"What if we don't...?" William asked again.
In response, Anne chucked a pillow at him.
Dylan sighed. "He's right... If we don't get home, then we're stuck in 1912..."
Anne banged her head with a book.
Aelita sighed and rubbed her temples. If they didn't get home soon, she was going to lose it...
