Jeremie was deep inside of the cargo hold, looking through the luggage.

"Come on... Where are you...?" he muttered to himself.

Jeremie groaned with frustration, not seeing anything that even remotely resembled a laptop bag...

As he began to search another area, he tripped on something. "Oof!" he grunted before he slowly pushed himself up. His eyes widened as he saw what he had tripped over. It looked like... HIS BAG!

Jeremie gasped, quickly grabbing the bag and unzipping it.

His laptop was in it!

"FINALLY!" Jeremie exclaimed, relieved beyond all measure.

He hugged the bag close to him. "I'm never letting you out of my sight again!" he exclaimed happily.

Jeremie had a happy look as he got up and ran out towards the door.


MEANWHILE...


Anne had bumped into Elena again, and eventually, they sat down and chatted with one another.

Elena smiled at Anne.

"Do you think we can write each other once we get to America? Where do you live?" Elena asked, curiously.

Anne gulped. "W-Well... Uh... Georgia. I live in Georgia." Anne lied.

"Georgia? That's that state in America, right? Oh, I've always dreamed of visiting America!" Elena said, joyfully.

"Tell me, what is Georgia like?" Elena asked.

Anne gulped, hoping she wouldn't accidentally spill stuff about the future.

"It's... uh... It's nice..." Anne managed to say.

"Nice? That all you have to say?" Elena chuckled.

"Yeah..." Anne replied.

"Well, my husband is overjoyed we're moving to America." Elena smiled.

"He is? Huh... Tell me about him." Anne said, curious about her ancestors.

"He has brown hair. He's very sweet and funny... When he found out we were moving to America, the first thing he did was kiss me." Elena recalled with a smile.

"That's so sweet..." Anne said with a smile.

"So... Why'd that Edna lady board this thing?" Anne asked.

"She was desperate to come and see New York with us." Elena replied, bluntly.

Anne sweat-dropped. "I can tell..."

"Yes... How about you? All of those people with you?" Elena asked

"Yes... We were sort of... 'Lucky' to come aboard the RMS Titanic..." Anne said.

"As were we... My husband got the last available tickets in Cornwall." Elena said, smirking.

"Where did you get your tickets?" she asked Anne.

Anne gulped.

"We... uh... We got them from a good friend." Anne replied, not knowing exactly what to say.

"Who was this friend?"

"Well, he was Jeremie's father... He bought them for us because he wanted us to see America." Anne lied.

"That was nice of him... Hmmm... That 'Chase', boy... Are you in a relationship with him?" Elena asked.

Anne went wide eyed.

"What? Oh, no, no, no, no!" Anne exclaimed. "He's dating Jennifer!"

"Oh, really? I apologize... You two seem awfully close." Elena said.

Anne groaned. "I'm dating his brother."

"Dylan, huh? I see... What about Jeremie and Aelita? Are those two in a relationship?" Elena asked, curiously.

"Well, they're too shy to ask each other." Anne admitted.

"I dare say that they look adorable together..." Elena replied.

"I totally agree with ya on that." Anne said.

Elena looked thoughtful.

"Hmmm... That Japanese girl and Ulrich... What about them?" Elena asked.

"Eh, same thing. They won't admit out loud they like each other." Anne shrugged.

"That's what it was between me and my husband... He was so shy back then." Elena replied, smiling.

"He was red as a tomato when he first asked me out." she added.

Anne smiled. "Dylan was like that, too..."

"What happened when he asked you out?" Elena smiled.

Anne smiled as she remembered what occurred.

"Hehe... When I said I'd go out with him, he almost fainted.

Elena snickered. "That's adorable!"

Just then, a man with brown hair wearing a suit stepped into the lounge. "Ah, there you are, honey!" he smiled.

"Hello, dear. Have you met Anne, yet?" Elena asked.

He rose an eyebrow and sat down next to his wife. "No, I haven't. Who's she?"

"She's one of the new passengers from America... She arrived with a bunch of her friends, too." Elena said.

"Uh... Hi." Anne stammered uncertainly.

"Hello... Did Elena tell you my name?" he asked.

Anne shook her head. "N-No, sir..."

The man smiled.

"My name is Daniel Marshall." he introduced, shaking her hand.

"My name is Anne. Nice to meet you." Anne said, smiling.

Daniel then rose an eyebrow. "Um... Forgive me for asking... But what ARE you wearing?" he inquired.

Anne gulped. "Uh... I- I'm warring a flannel shirt, a t-shirt, and blue jeans..."

"A t-shirt?" Daniel asked.

Anne's eyes widened as she remembered what Dylan told her. "Uh... Never mind."

"I never heard of a t-shirt... What is it?" Daniel asked

"Uh..." Anne stuttered, not knowing what to say.

Daniel and Elena both had curious looks.

Then, Edna came into the room.

She smiled at Elena.

"Hello, Elena." she greeted, then noticed Anne.

"Hey, Anne..." Edna greeted.

"I see you're still not dressed properly."

Anne rolled her eyes. "I guess not..."

"Edna, leave the girl alone..." Elena sighed.

"Fine..." Edna replied, sighing.

Anne sighed with relief at this.

Elena and Edna smiled at Anne.

"So, care to tell me why you're not wearing proper clothing?" Edna asked.

"It's a long story..." Anne replied.

Hoping to get out of this situation, Anne then said, "Oh, I think I hear Dylan calling me!"

The three looked around to see if he was there, but he wasn't in the room. When they looked back, all they saw was a dust outline of Anne and Anne herself darting out the room.

Daniel, Elena, and Edna all had wide eyed looks.

"What just happened...?" Daniel asked.

"I don't know..." Elena replied.

"Should we go after her?" Daniel asked his wife.

Elena had a curious look.

"I... don't know..." Elena replied.


MEANWHILE...


Anne was running through the halls past several passengers. "'Scuse me! Pardon me! Comin' through!"

"Watch it, lady!" a passenger said.

"Sorry!" Anne apologized as she ran.

Anne ran around a corner.

Unfortunately, she ran into someone and fell down onto her back. "Oof! Ow... Sorry..." she groaned from the ground.

The other person groaned, painfully.

"Owwww..." the person groaned.

Anne sat up clutching her nose. She slowly opened her eyes.

"A- Are you okay...?" the other person asked, painfully.

Her eyes widened seeing who it was. "Jeremie!" she gasped.

Jeremie sat up, clutching his nose.

"Hey, Anne..." Jeremie said.

"I got my laptop!" he added, showing his bag.

"Thank god!" Anne exclaimed.

Jeremie smiled and nodded, opening the bag to check the laptop.

"Come on! We gotta get back to the others!" he told her before they both took off running. The duo darted past several passengers in the hallways as they rushed back to the group's stateroom.

"Hey, watch it!" a male passenger exclaimed as they darted past him.

"Sorry!" Jeremie replied.

The duo rounded a corner until they reached their stateroom. Anne pounded on the door and Aelita opened it a moment later.

Aelita rose an eyebrow as she stared at the sweaty and exhausted teens in front of her.

"Yes?" Aelita asked.

"J-Jeremie... f-found it." Anne managed to get out.

Aelita went wide eyed.

"He did?!" Aelita asked.

The two teens in front of her nodded so fast Aelita was sure their heads would fall off. Aelita grabbed the duo by the front of their shirts and yanked them in, shutting the door behind them.

Jeremie fell onto the ground as Anne landed on Dylan's lap.

Anne's eyes widened seeing who she landed on. "Oh, hey sweetie."

"H-Hey..." Dylan stammered while blushing.

Jeremie hopped up to his feet and got into a chair, pulling out his laptop in the process.

Anne, however, blushed deeply as she stayed sitting where she was.

Jeremie powered on his laptop, praying it wasn't damaged somehow, or the battery wasn't dead.

The screen then turned on... it was at 100%! Jeremy sighed with relief. He was so glad he charged his laptop nearly every night.

Jeremie started trying to work on the Return Trip codes.

He then slumped over. "Great... With just this... This is gonna take me at least three days to get it to work!" he groaned.

"THREE DAYS?!" William asked.

"B- But the ship SINKS in three days!" Chase stated.

"You think I don't know that?!" Jeremie retorted. "If I work hard enough, we MAY be able to get sent back to our time by the time we get in lifeboats!"

"Oh, thank you, Jer! That's SO reassuring!" William said sarcastically.

Odd had a look of panic. "I can't swim!"

"But if we're lucky, we can make it to the lifeboats!" Jeremie said.

"YOU'RE NOT HELPING ANY, JEREMIE!" the group yelled in unison.

Jeremie went wide eyed.

"How can we stay calm when we know that this will sink in three days time and we might not make it?!" Ulrich exclaimed.

"We need to come up with a plan to get to the lifeboats... FAST..." Yumi stated

"Just bear with me, okay?" Jeremie requested.

"How?!" Odd asked.

Jeremie groaned.

"Me and Aelita will think of something! Okay?!" Jeremie said.

"Well, think of something fast! I don't wanna be at the bottom of the ocean!" Odd exclaimed.

"I'm NOT dying on the TITANIC! Hell no!" Jennifer exclaimed.

"Guys, calm down!" Aelita said.

"Why?! We're screwed! We're totally screwed! Do you think that laptop can last against SEAWATER?! We're totally SCREWED!" Jennifer exclaimed, panicking.

Jennifer and Odd stopped panicking for the moment. They froze and looked directly at Jeremie.

"I need you to stay calm! I can't work on getting us back with you guys panicking!" Jeremie told them.

"O- Okay... Christ..." Jennifer said, heavily breathing.

Jeremie immediately began to type away on his laptop.

Jennifer gulped and locked her hand to Chase's.

She prayed to herself that she wouldn't panic on THAT night in three days...


SOME TIME LATER...


Ulrich and Yumi walked together throughout the many, many, MANY halls of the Titanic.

Yumi kept a tight hold on Ulrich's hand as she led him through the halls.

Ulrich had a deep blush on his face as he kept staring at the locked hands.

They were both nervous about what to do in three days.

"Are you worried...?" Ulrich asked as they walked.

"Of course I am!" Yumi told him. "What if I never see my parents or brother again?!"

"This is so screwed up... What if XANA launches an attack while we're gone?" Ulrich asked.

"I don't know..."

Ulrich sighed with worry.

They passed by a couple passengers. They looked at Yumi, curiously.

"Is that a Chinese girl?" one of them asked, curiously.

Yumi's eye twitched with annoyance. "I am JAPANESE."

"Japanese?! No, you're kidding! Korean, right?" the other passenger asked.

"JAPANESE." Yumi muttered.

"Uh huh..." a third passenger said, not believing her.

Ulrich tried to keep Yumi from flipping out. "Uh, calm down Yumi..." he tried.

"Maybe she's Vietnamese?" a passenger guessed.

"FOR THE LAST TIME, I AM JAPANESE!" Yumi yelled in annoyance.

The passengers immediately stopped talking.

Yumi then stormed down the hall with Ulrich on her tail.

Ulrich followed her through another hallway.

Yumi grumbled to herself. "Every time!"

"I know... I'm sorry, Yumes." Ulrich said

"It's not your fault, Ulrich." Yumi muttered.

"Okay..." Ulrich replied.

The duo soon came to a doorway that was being locked by a steward.

"Excuse me... What are you doing?" Yumi asked the steward.

"I'm locking up. It's required for your safety, I'm afraid. It's also to remind that this is for First and Second Class passengers only, so Third Class passengers are not allowed." the steward explained.

Yumi and Ulrich went wide eyed with disgust.

"That's not right..." Yumi stated.

"It's the rules, I'm afraid." the steward sighed.

"The rules are just... bad." Yumi stated.

"They are what they are." the steward sighed as he returned to locking up.

"That's so stupid!" Ulrich growled.

Yumi sighed and led Ulrich away. "Come on, Ulrich. Let's just go."

Ulrich sighed and followed Yumi away.

Ulrich grumbled to himself. These rules... They were also the cause of a lot of people not making it to the lifeboats in time.

They cause a lot of people to die...

And they might not be able to do anything about it...
