Author Note: The next chapter is mostly for comic relief. Remember the two watchmen in the crows nest who said 'Iceberg dead ahead?' well this is what they were doing before the iceberg hit the ship. Like I said; comic relief. I know it's not very funny but it's an abbreviated version of one I wrote called 'Titanic Watchmen' that's in the Titanic section of this site.
Chapter fourteen
ICEBERG!
Bob started to fall asleep at his watch and Bill had to poke him so he would wake up.
"I'm up I'm up." Bob said with a start.
"Like heck you are. Don't fall asleep on the job you know how important this is." Bill said.
"Yeah, yeah. You know it's not important. The captain put us up here so we would get out of his hair"
"You lie!"
"I am not lying."
"He wouldn't do that!"
"Yes he would." Bob said.
Bill shook his head. "Na uh!"
"Whatever. Give me the scope thing." Bob said. Bill passed him the scope and he peered out into the ocean.
"You see anything?" Bill asked.
"I see water. That's all I see and that's all we'll ever see!"
Just then a shiny spectre that looked like Bill appeared in front of them.
"Who are you?" Bob asked.
"It's me Bill from the future."
Bill looked at him questionably. "You're not me! You're all shiny and transparent. I'm a solid mass! Besides you don't have a blue uniform on."
Bill from the future, we'll call him Church because I feel like it, rolled his eyes.
"How can I be wearing blue? I'm a firkin ghost!"
"Sure whatever man. What do you want?" Bob asked.
"I'm here to warn you that you're going to strike an iceberg and the ships going to sink." Church said.
Bob and Bill looked at him and laughed.
"This ship is unsinkable!" Bob exclaimed.
"Yeah that's what I thought." Church said. "In less then an hour you're going to strike an iceberg and a lot of people are going to die. But you two can change things. Tell the captain to slow the ship down and to change direction now!"
Bob and Bill looked at the spectre and laughed at him again.
"We'll do nothing of the sort!"
"Yeah well you two will die as well."
"This ship is not going to sink!"
"Yes it is! FINE! I'm out of here." Church said and disappeared. As he left they heard a mumbled and fainted, Try and help them I did but nooo… idiots.
Bob and Bill looked at each other.
"I think we need to lay off the booze while on watch."
"I agree."
They continued with their watch without any other events. Jack and Rose were on the deck of the ship and they were watching them and not paying attention to the massive iceberg heading their way.
"Hey give me the scope thing." Bob said. Bill passed it to him and Bob looked through it at Rose.
"Aren't she a beauty."
Bill smacked Bob. "Give me the scope."
Bob looked at Rose and couldn't keep his eyes off of her.
"Hey Bob you want to play I spy?"
"Sure."
"Ok, I spy with my little eye something big and white."
"Let me guess, this ship?"
"Nope."
"Is it our crow's nest?"
"No."
"The clouds in the sky?"
"How the heck can there be clouds in the sky? It's three o'clock in the morning without a cloud in sight! Idiot."
"Then I give up. There's nothing else that's big and white."
"Yes there is." Bill said he pointed out into the ocean.
"It's that thing there."
Bob looked through the scope at the object.
"Ahh, ok you win. My turn. I spy with my little eye something pink- wait…"
He called the bridge.
"ICEBERG DEAD AHEAD!"
