Chapter seven
Cassie:
The next morning, it was pretty much chaos. Here I was, dreaming about Bug fighters, Dome ships, Yeerks, and everything else under the sun, when I wake up to find I'm on board a ship that crashed 70 something years ago.
It all came rushing back to me. The TITANIC. I didn't know any facts about the ship except that it sank. I was 2nd class. So who else? Marco. I had to find Marco.
I walked up to his stateroom and knocked on the door with no answer. So I walked down toward the breakfast area.
I guessed this was where the people were supposed to eat breakfast.
I found Marco, but he was flirting with some girl. I expected her to slap him or something like all the girls usually do, but this one was not.
Marco looked liked he was actually eating with her and her family, so I decided to eat by myself. It was too bad Jake wasn't in second with me. I would've really enjoyed his company. I felt…alone…with out him. And yet, there was a wall or something between us. Love was over for us. Or was it? I smiled, despite myself. I wondered how Rachel and Tobias were doing.
Marco spotted me, and he excused himself from the girl and ran over toward me.
"Hey, Cassie, check out the food, and…" he nudged his head toward the girl.
"Marco, she's how old in the year 2002???" I demanded. He could have his fun later. I just wanted to know how we would get off the ship. I didn't know how many people were here, but I knew there weren't enough lifeboats for all. And I wanted to change history as less as possible. Because if I took a lifeboat seat, someone who might actually need it might die. That meant I would wipe out them, their children, their children's children, and so on…
"Morph," Marco said simply.
"Where? And what?"
We pondered this for a few minutes, when he said, "This might be a little harder than I thought it would be, but Cassie, we'll figure out something. It's not until…what? Three days? We'll think of something by then. And with that, he left.
He was right, after all. We really didn't need to think it over right then. Besides, I needed to know more about the TITANIC, and Marco was not helping. I needed to talk to Jake or Tobias. Ax wouldn't know, and I doubt Rachel would either.
So, I decided to have a little fun.
I went out to the poop deck and tried to make conversation. I asked one guy who the president of the United States was, but he said it was kind of hard to answer that, simply because he was from England. This was boring. I wanted to talk to Jake.
Just then, I saw something else. A lady walking a dog.
Hmm. A dog on board?
Turns out, there were lots of dogs on board. In kennels. So I decided to visit the dogs. After all, there was nothing better to do. I went toward the kennels and discovered there were many, many animals on board. Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Birds…
I wondered if being in 1912 affected morphing. I acquired one of the dog's DNA and began to morph. Hehe. Guess not.
And if morphing worked, then so did thought speak.
I found a way to talk to Jake.

Not one of the better chapters, but I was lazy today. Sowwy.
