[Rachel Berry P.O.V]

The great dining hall was filled with music and laughter; it was just the type of surroundings that Rachel needed to feel at home. Everything was perfect. As she sipped on the wine from the table she looked around at all the classy and elegant people sat around her, everybody in the room had money and style but she couldn't figure any of them out, she had good instincts but none of them really stood out in her eyes... that was until she saw her, a beautiful Latina girl hiding behind a fake smile, shuffling her cutlery around her plate like there was so much more on her mind than just what to have for desert. At that moment Rachel felt the strongest craving to help her, this girl needed guidance, but for now she would leave her to her thoughts.

[Quinn Fabray P.O.V]

Both the Fabray's and Lopez's were two of the wealthiest families on board that night so it made perfect sence that they were sat together in the dining hall. Quinn and Santana hadn't said much to each other. Whilst Quinn's parents talked about their careers and boasted about how their little Quinn was the only person in the family to get into a high class college back in Ireland, Santana's made it clear that they had no interest in talking about their daughter at all. Every now and again Quinn shot the dark haired girl sympathetic looks but that was as far as the conversation really went.

"Quinny I think it's time to take Beth to bed... it's getting late." Russell said as he noticed his granddaughter start to yawn at the dinner table. Not to mention he hadn't missed the judgemental stares from some of the people dining with them, the Lopez's weren't fantastic at keeping the staring to them either. Quinn looked at Beth and realised that her dad was right, she nodded to her parents as she excused herself from the table with her daughter. As she was walking away she heard Santana's parents talk.

"It's time for you to go too Santana. Don't wait up for your father and me." Her mother said whilst looking straight into Santana's eyes, she would never raise her voice in front of company but Santana knew that this was the only way she could show how serious she was without doing so. She looked around the table for a few moments in shock, how one set of parents can be so adoring to their daughter, yet another would do anything to be rid of theirs, she hoped that she would never be that way towards her own children.

Russell and Judy interjected as much as they possibly could.

"But what about tonight's entertainment! It would be a shame for her to miss it"

The firm sound of Santana's father's voice brought the conversation to a stop.

"She has studying to do."

Santana smiled for just a second, for what it was worth Russell Fabray seemed like a good man.

"Goodnight everybody, Russell... Judy it was lovely to meet you. I hope to have the pleasure of seeing you again soon"

She walked gracefully from the room, catching the eye of Rachel Berry as she left. She didn't plan on staying in the room tonight, if she was going to spend the rest of her life following her parent's orders she most definitely wasn't going to spend the rest of her time on this ship doing the same. She thought about what she would do with her secret free time but had no plan, she guessed she would just see where her feet took her.

[Noah and Finn P.O.V]

"We're drinking beer on the Titanic! What could be better?" Cheered Finn from behind his glass, they were mixed with the rest of the lower class travellers and they were having fun but according to Puck there was still more to do. There was always going to be more to do.

"Where has your adventure gone Hudson? We need to experience this, this is the only time this is EVER going to happen. Come on, neither of us are going to get this chance again. Be spontaneous Finn!"

"dude..." Finn Began

"DO NOT DUDE ME! We're finding adventure one way or another, and I have a plan. Trust me, we're in this together ok bro?" Puck smiled and he knew he struck a nerve, no matter what happened they had always stuck through everything together. They were brothers through and through, no matter what blood they did or didn't share.

"Damn. Together, cheers!" Finn lifted his glass in the air to cheers to adventure with his best friend because as much as he hated to admit it, Puck was more right now than he ever had been before. Two guys from Ohio would never get this opportunity again. Suddenly the words carpe diem popped into his head.

"And what are you two lovely lads drinking to?" came a giggly voice from behind. The two boys turned to find a pretty tall blonde girl stood in front of them with a bottle of beer in her hands.

"ADVENTURE m'lady. And yourself?" Said Puck as he stood up from his stool to shake the girl's hand.

"Friday." The blonde laughed. "I'm Brittany, and you are?" she asked as she took a small swig from her beer.

"My name is Noah Puckerman, but you can call me Puck and this here is my good old friend Finn." Puck said nodding his head over to where Finn was sat still and smiling.

"Well hi boys" Brittany smiled. She confidently pulled up a stool next to the two Americans and sat with them at the bar. Looking around her she knew that Sam would appear out of nowhere anytime soon... sometimes he was too protective. If only he knew that she had no interest in guys whatsoever.

Just as she expected, within five minutes of innocent conversation Sam appeared as if by magic with a look on his face that could only read 'and you are sat with these boys because?...'

"Noah, Finn... this is my brother Sam." She said as she put one arm around his waist.

Finn looked shocked for a moment before he spoke.

"You two totally look alike..."

Brittany, who was confident in all aspects just looked at Finn with a complete sarcastic expression. Sam laughed to himself before replying to the lost boy.

"Twins buddy."

"Twin's just aren't as hot when the other one isn't a girl... sorry dude." Laughed Puck from behind his beer. Thankfully Sam understood the attempt at 'banter' and changed the conversation.

"Are you saying I'm not hot?" Sam winked. It wasn't long until the four of them were well on their way to being drunk and stumbling back to their cabins with plans to meet again the next night. When Brittany climbed into bed that night she couldn't help but smile to herself, she was on the most beautiful ship in the world with the most beautiful people and her beautiful family. She felt good. Jumping out of her bed she crept over to where her mother was sleeping and gently kissed her on the forehead.

"Goodnight mam"
