Amelia Bon Watson stepped from the black and white car. Its golden rims still shining from it's cleaning that morning. The port was bustling with much noise from the crowd and ship itself, everyone preparing to see such a beauty leave. She stood in her black shawl, holding it against her body, the cool wind brushing past. She wore a pale purple gown with black beads dancing inside the folds. Her green eyes found the world's biggest manmade structure. It wasn't too hard to find, seeing how big it was. She stood mesmerized as her eyes walked along the side of the ship. Amelia had never seen anything like it in her sixteen years of living. Men walked past her, helping to get the luggage of her Mistress.

Kandis pushed past Amelia. "Move. You don't need to just stand there." Amelia turned, remembering why she had come to join the passengers and crew upon such a ship as the Titanic. She was the maid of Kandis Rosaline Partige (French pronunciation). A fifteen year old spoiled brat who rode through first class since birth. Kandis' mother had her own clothing line while her father was a tycoon builder in New York of the United States. Kandis and her mother, Marley Ann Partige, were going to New York to join her father after not seeing him for two years. Mrs. Partige (Marley) had her own maid, Amelia's sister, Kasey May Watson who was eighteen and unmarried. Kasey's life revolved around the Partige family and her little sister, Amelia. Kasey and Amelia were both orphans, they were left on the streets by their mother and the Partiges took them and trained them to be young women. As payment for that, they had to work for the household.

Amelia let Kandis move next to her. The girl gasped and squealed, making Amelia take a step away from her Mistress, hating the sound. "Mother! Look at that! It's the biggest thing I've ever seen!"

Mrs. Partige stepped from her car. "I believe it's the biggest thing anyone has ever seen dear." Kandis looked at her mother with a half scorn, not sure whether her mother was saying she was being obvious. Mrs. Partige smiled. The woman looked young for her age. She was 33, but she looked to be in her twenties. Her auburn hair was pinned up in the back, soft curls left to the side of her face. Kandis' own auburn hair was held back by a big black hat.

Kasey stayed back in the car, waiting for Mrs. Partige to move, but she wouldn't dare ask. It would be considered rude. One of the men helping with the luggage walked up to Mrs. Partige. "Where would you like for your luggage to go ma'am?"

Mrs. Partige turned to let Kasey out. "She will tell you. Kasey knows our cabin number." Amelia smiled at her sister, but the girl didn't smile back. Kasey didn't have a very good feeling about boarding the Titanic. She had a dream about her sister struggling through cool water, choking as some boy pushed her along, trying to help her. Kasey had a dream about the Titanic sinking, watching it all from a distance. She said nothing to anyone except Amelia. There was no use of telling the Partiges. They wouldn't listen.

The man waited patiently as Kasey fumbled with a few papers and handed them to him, pointing out the room numbers. Kandis was looking at the ship. "This will be great. Amelia, what do you think of the ship darling? Don't you think it will be grand?"

Amelia nodded, pushing her blonde hair back. Her favorite black dragonfly hair pin had broke in the car ride and she had to wait to get another one from her luggage. Mrs. Partige began walking along the port.

"Come, come. It is 10:45am. The ship should be leaving dock soon. I would like to see my cabin before then." Amelia followed behind Kandis and Mrs. Partige. Kasey walked along side her sister.

"I still don't like this." Kasey whispered.

Amelia shrugged. She was thrilled to be going on the grandest ship in world. She was slightly afraid of what Kasey dreamt only a few days ago but still, she wanted to go along. "It can't be too bad."

Kandis turned and looked at the girls. "Of course it won't be. This ship is unsinkable."

"Anything is breakable. God-" Kandis interrupted Kasey.

"God himself can't sink the Titanic." Kandis said.

Mrs. Partige stopped suddenly and turned. "Do not let me hear those words again, you understand? That is abolishment against God. God can do as he pleases, you understand?" She glanced at all the girls and they all nodded back. Mrs. Partige believed in God and so did Kasey. It was Kandis and Amelia who had their doubts.

"Yes ma'am." Kandis muttered. A man took her mother and her by the arm and guided them up the walkway that only left the water beneath them.

"Here we go…" Amelia whispered as they entered the ship. She could smell fresh paint from the walls. Pine wood greeted their eyes, Amelia was held in awe. The stewards smiled at them as they entered. The smells of paint and something entered Amelia's nose. Maybe the something was newness…or anticipation.

Mrs. Partige had asked to be guided to her suite (cabin) which was C 60 and 61. The man smiled gingerly as he led the four girls. Kandis was running her fingers against the carved wood. Kasey quietly looked around as her sister kept tapping her shoulder to point out details and things that she had never expected to see on a ship.

"Mother, are we going to say goodbye like the others on deck?" Kandis asked.

"You have no one to say goodbye to." Her mother answered.

"I can say goodbye to Southampton!"

"And meet boys." Amelia muttered. Kasey elbowed her sister in the side. Amelia never knew when to keep her mouth shut. Kandis turned slightly and glared at Amelia.

"What was that?" Kandis asked.

Amelia shook her head. "I said nothing ma'am." Kandis glared again before turning back to the pursuit of their cabin.

A boy was through the wide corridor. "I AM ON THE TITANIC!" He yelled while throwing his hands up. He was laughing and smiling as he raced through; Amelia had little time to move. She tried to step aside, but he tripped over her foot. His body slammed against the carpeted floor. Kasey and Kandis gasped as Mrs. Partige said, "oh dear!" Some woman behind them had said, "Oh!"

Amelia pressed herself against the wall though it was too late. She dropped to her knees and the boy turned on his side, lightly rubbing it. "I am so sorry! Are you okay sir!" She asked.

His brilliant blue eyes looked up into her green orbs and he smiled. "Never could be better. I'm on the greatest ship in the world." Amelia didn't touch the boy. He was obviously first class from the way he was dressed. She was confused by the fact that he was first class and by the fact that he was yelling and so happy.

His tussled black hair lay back against his forehead. They both stared at each other until the boy broke the silence. "I should be apologizing to you." He said. He reached his hand out and Amelia looked at it, then up to her sister Kasey. Kasey's eyes were wide, a little too wide for her tastes. Amelia frowned, then her sister slowly nodded. Amelia took his hand. His hand was soft, barely broken with work. He was handsome with soft facial features.

"Amelia Watson." She said and she heard Kandis sigh.

The boy smiled. "Cameron D. Morgan. As I owe you, I apologize."

"You do not owe her a thing. She should've moved." Kandis said. Cameron turned and looked at Kandis as if seeing her for the first time.

"I ran into her though. It is my fault." He said while getting up. He looked at Mrs. Partige. "Sorry ma'am about this."

Mrs. Partige smiled. "It is quite alright. Amelia here is our maid, you owe no apology. Do you need to say something to Mr. Morgan Amelia?"

Amelia blushed as Cameron smiled at her. "I apologize, do you accept?"

Cameron nodded. He looked around Amelia at the other first class passengers. He nodded at a first. "I'm sorry for the hold up. I will try my best to contain my happiness!" Some of the passengers answered with glares and grunts. Amelia couldn't help but to smile. He was the only guy that she'd seen be so energetic and be first class.

"Mr. Morgan, I am Kandis Partige." The girl said with a smile, pushing Amelia to the side. Amelia tried her best to keep from frowning. She looked at her sister. Kasey had covered her mouth with her hand, her skin had paled considerably. Something was wrong and Amelia didn't know what.

Cameron's smile lessened, but a small one was still there. "Partige…Partige. That name sounds familiar." He looked at up Kandis' mother, then back at her. "Are you by any chance related to The Mrs. Partige? Marley Partige?"

Kandis smiled, knowing her fame and fortune was from her mother. "Yes, this is my mother."

Cameron stepped forward, slowly taking Mrs. Partige into his own and he brought it up to his lips. Kandis' smile left her face. He hadn't done that to her. "Nice to meet you. My mother loves your clothing." Mrs. Partige smiled and Kandis crossed her arms.

"Lovely. Would you like to come to with us to our cabin or are you still rejoicing from boarding this Ship of Dreams?" Cameron smiled.

"I wouldn't mind coming along at all. My mother and father are in their cabins right now and they were happy for me to leave them a moment in peace."

Mrs. Partige laughed a little. "Of course." She looked at Kasey. "Oh, you haven't met Kasey Watson, Amelia's sister."

Cameron looked at Kasey and her face was blank. A slow smile crept across her pale face. Her eyes looked worried though. "Nice to meet you." She said and he nodded.

Mrs. Partige turned and continued onto the suite. Kandis went next to Cameron with Amelia and Kasey following behind. Cameron looked back at Amelia as Kandis placed herself next to him. He slightly smiled at her and she couldn't help but to smile back. She looked like she was a first class passenger. Amelia couldn't fully understand why he was smiling at her. Mrs. Partige had told him that she was her maid or maybe he hadn't heard her.

Kandis broke into conversation. "So Mr. Morgan-"

"Cameron. Please call me Cameron." He said. Kandis smiled, taking that as a flirt from him though he wasn't smiling while saying it.

"Cameron, what brings onto such a fine ship?" Kandis asked.

"My father is a miner and he struck gold out west. He returned to Paris a year ago and now he wants to go back west and do more mining."

Kandis nodded. Amelia knew that Cameron had to have been poor a while back. No one acted the way he did unless they were untrained first class citizens. She had heard Mrs. Partige call people like Cameron and his family, "New Money". Miners had that particular name now days if they struck it big.

"And you?" Cameron asked.

"My father is Henry Partige. He is the most famous builder in New York." She looked up at him while his bright blue eyes looked back into her hazel ones. She was expecting for Cameron to recognize her father's name, but he hadn't.

"I have never heard of him. Though I have never been to New York." He answered. Amelia swallowed, watching Kandis and Cameron carry out a conversation. It was obvious that Kandis liked him from the start, but so did she. Kasey watched her sister.

"You have no chance." Kasey whispered as she watched her sixteen year old sister watch the two in front of them.

"I know…" Amelia sighed. Amelia couldn't be with a first class person, even if they were 'new money'. She was a servant, not exactly first class, even if they had her act and dress the way they do. "New money though." She whispered.

"Shh." Kasey said back.

They reached their cabin and Cameron whistled as he entered. "Nice, very nice." Kandis smiled.

"Of course." Kandis laid her shawl down on one of the elegant chairs. The room smelled very much like new paint. The room had paintings with gold trimming around it. It was just the sitting area. The bedrooms and bathrooms were separate.

"Your luggage should be here momentarily Mrs. Partige." Their guide said. "Did you ask for a bedroom stewardess?"

"No. We have our own. Just show them where things are and we will be fine."

A knock came from the door. A woman that was dressed in steward clothing entered. "I was told by Mr. T. J. Hodges that I was to usher the room."

Mrs. Partige frowned, then smiled. "Mr. Hodges? How nice of him. That means we won't have to pay, correct?"

The stewardess nodded. "I am Ms. Moniker and Mr. Hodges has sent an invitation for you eat with him tonight at the café, along with the Astors."

Kandis mouth dropped. "The, you mean the Astors!"

Ms. Moniker smiled. "Yes ma'am. They are to board from Cherbourg."

Cameron, Kasey, and Amelia listened to all of this wordlessly. Amelia looked up and found Cameron's blue eyes looking her. He smiled and she slightly nodded.

"Mother, accept! I have been dying to meet Mrs. Astor!"

Mrs. Partige smiled. "Yes, yes, of course. So has everyone else dear."

"What am I to tell Mr. Hodges ma'am?" The stewardess asked.

"We will have dinner with him and his guests tonight." Mrs. Partige answered with a smile. Kandis squealed and Cameron cringed. Amelia smiled. She was glad that she wasn't the only one who hated that sound.

"Seeing that everything is settled, I must be leaving. Call anyone if you need or want anything Mrs. Partige." The guide man said, then he left. Mrs. Partige walked from room to room, inspecting everything.

Kandis was doing the same, leaving Cameron, Amelia, and Kasey standing next to each other. Kasey rubbed her head. "I'm feeling light headed."

Cameron frowned. "We haven't even left the dock yet."

Amelia giggled. "Don't worry about her."

Kasey sighed and went to Mrs. Partige. "May I go look about the deck? I am feeling a bit woozy ma'am."

Mrs. Partige nodded. "Go to the private promenade; I don't want you to get lost."

Cameron smiled. "I could give them a small tour of the ship if you don't mind."

Mrs. Partige stood there for a moment, deciding. "Okay, but be back after we leave port."

Amelia nodded and said thank you. She knew that she could go with them. Cameron guided Kasey and Amelia toward the promenade where there was little bustle. People were either on the top deck or inside their rooms unpacking. "So how old are you?" Amelia asked.

Kasey whispered, "Oh God, don't start Amelia"

Cameron chuckled with his hands behind his back. "I don't mind. I'm 19." He smiled at Amelia. "And with respect, same question."

"16." She answered quickly. She looked around, watching the large crowd outside the ship, trying to look away from Cameron. She didn't know why, but she felt embarrassed around him already. He was handsome and had the most charming smile. Amelia had never seen so many people in her life. It was so noisy, but she could stand it.

"How about you Miss Watson." Cameron said, looking at Amelia's sister.

"Kasey." Amelia said. "She hates being called by our last name. I don't know why."

"And you shall remain not knowing why." Kasey whispered. Cameron laughed.

"Alright then, with respect, how old are you?"

"18." She answered, looking out at the crowd as well.

Cameron's eyebrows went up. "You aren't married?"

Kasey frowned and looked at him. "No, of course not." She said defensively.

He threw his hands up for innocence. "Hey, just a question."

"Why does it surprise you that Kasey isn't married?" Amelia asked.

Cameron shrugged, giving Amelia full eye contact with a little smile. "Most girls I meet from first class are married or are going to be married at that age."

Kasey had to smile. "Well not me."

"Are you New Money?" Amelia asked. Kasey wanted to slap the girl from being so straight forward.

"Amelia Bon Watson!" Kasey said.

Cameron chuckled. "It's okay, I don't mind."

"It's still unnecessary!" She said.

He looked at Amelia's sister. "A ship this big is unnecessary, but here it is and here we are." Amelia smiled.

"Pfffftt." Kasey said, walking along the promenade, leaving her sister. "Go no where! I'll be right back!"

Cameron put his arms on the side of the ship. "Your question still up?"

Amelia did the same as him even if it didn't seem too lady like. "Yes." Cameron looked at her with his eyebrow raised. It was then that Amelia realized that they were next to each other.

"You aren't like most girls, especially your sister, how did you get to first class?"

Amelia smiled, shaking her head. "You answer my question first, and then I just may answer yours."

He had to smiled, his bright blue eyes glistening. "What was the question again?"

Amelia faked a sigh and playfully hit Cameron. He only smiled. "Are you New Money?"

He nodded, looking out into the bustling crowd. "Yeah. I still haven't gotten used to how first class is supposed to act. My parents are trying to find me a manners tutor, but I won't go for it. I think that those are for girls."

Amelia's mouth dropped. "That is not true!"

"Fine, you tried finishing school? That's for girls. Is that where you learned your manners from?" Amelia frowned though she should've been offended.

"Why?"

"You don't act like a girl, nor do you show respect."

"Neither do you." She replied back.

Cameron smile, it being a boyish charm of his and Amelia was growing used to it. "I have an excuse, what's yours?"

"I have none."

He nodded. "Just as I thought. Now what are you doing working for a stuck up like Kandis?" Amelia's mouth dropped. She couldn't believe he said that.

"Orphaned as a child with Kasey. The Partiges took us in and raised us in first class. Working for them is our pay."

Cameron nodded like her understood. He took out a pocket watch. "Fifteen minutes till the ship leaves dock."

Amelia shrugged. "And that has to do with?..."

"Nothing my dear Mia, nothing." Kandis said as she walked up to the two. Amelia hated it when the girl called her Mia. It either meant that she was in trouble or Kandis wasn't liking something and Amelia had a feeling of what the girl wasn't liking. Cameron turned and saw Kandis. His smile was wiped away. Amelia stood straight up, standing as a woman should.

"What made you come out here?" He asked.

Kandis' eyes widened. What he said certainly wasn't put in its most respectful way, but she tried to dismiss it. "My mother is throwing a fit with Ms. Moniker. I rather not be there at the moment." Kandis answered as she adoringly looked at Cameron. He kept glancing back at Amelia.

"Oh. Well I guess I should walk you both back to your suite." He said, having to step aside so that Kandis separated him and Amelia.

"Mother said we can return when the ship leaves port." Kandis said, looking at him. He looked out at the crowd again.

"Plus we have to wait for Kasey's return." Amelia pitched in with a smile.

Cameron looked around Kandis at Amelia with his eyes slightly opened more. "Okay then."

There was an uncomfortable silence. Amelia felt better if Kandis wasn't there. She could act like herself around Cameron, but not if Kandis was there of course. It felt strange for Amelia to feel the way she did around the guy when she just met him. Kandis obviously liked him and she knew that Amelia did too.

"Would your mother like to meet my own?" Kandis asked. Amelia stepped behind Kandis and she rolled her eyes. Cameron smiled as his own followed her movements.

"My mum wouldn't feel comfortable around yours. Seeing as we're new money and all."

Kandis' eyes grew wide again. She had never heard someone openly admit them being new to first class. Amelia slapped the back of her head, pretending her eyes popped out and Cameron chuckled. Kandis swirled around and glared at Amelia, but the girl stood perfectly poised, holding her shawl. "Stop it." Kandis whispered. "That would be fine. My mother could help you all in manner training if you'd like."

Cameron stopped smiling instantly. That was something he did not want. He didn't want to be around Kandis either. She obviously wasn't too fun, but only controlling.
