Chappie 1: The Ship of Dreams
It was 1912. A year of prosperity for some, and a year of debt and foodless nights for most. It was a time period that man thought that he was on top of the world. Man thought that he could out-do anything, including mother nature, the most powerful force in the world. Those people almost one hundred years ago did not know better. They thought that they were the best, and nothing was going to stop them. This is why Titanic sank, and 1500 souls were lost. This is why the unsinkable ship sank.
"Bianca look! A big boat.!" Nikki said.
"I see, isn't it beautiful." Bianca said.
"It isn't a boat, it's a ship." Their mother added.
"Oh shut up mother." Bianca thought
"It's big, do we get a big room?" Nikki asked.
"Yes, we get the biggest room on the ship, because we are first class." Their mother answered.
"That is really cool." Nikki added with excitement.
Bianca was 18 years old, and she hated being rich. It sounds a little weird yes, but she was really unhappy about her environment, and the people she lived with. Her mother and father disgusted her and made her even more unhappy. She felt trapped in a maze, that she knew she was never going to get out of. She was supposed to marry a wealthy man, and her parents already picked one out for her. His name is Justin, and the heir to a billion dollar fortune. He was mean, nasty, and spoiled. He was also traveling on the Titanic, but he was in a different car, and she would be forced to try and find him later. Boy, did she feel helpless.
Nikki, is Bianca's little sister. She is six years old, and is very interested in the world around her. Bianca totally adored her little sister, and that was the only good thing going on in her life right now. She loved her so much. She was always very happy, and Bianca was the one taking care of her all the time, because her parents didn't notice her and Nikki. This totally disgusted Bianca, but she moved on pretending that it didn't.
The family carried ten trunks with them. They mostly held the fancy clothes and jewelry that they were going to wear for dinner, and any time of day. They got the biggest state room on Titanic, who was said to be the most luxurious ship in the world. Bianca knew that she had to set herself and Nikki free from her parents grasp, but she didn't know how. She knew that she had to find out.
"Wow." Was all that Joe could think. He was able to afford a ticket to go back home to New York. And also, it was on the biggest ship in the world. He didn't know just how he did it, but he did. He saved up all of his money and now it was finally paying off. As he went through all of the inspections to get on the ship, he was thinking about how lucky and happy he was to be there. It was certainly a gift from God.
Bianca took Nikki to wave good-bye to all of the people as they left the port.
"Do we know anyone down there?" Nikki asked.
"No, but it doesn't matter." Bianca said.
"Lets go, Bianca, Nikki" Her mother shouted. "We have to get to our room and set everything up before dinner."
"Coming." She said with fake enthusiasm in her voice.
"I can't wait to see the room. I bet it is big and has a nice big comfy bed." Nikki said.
"Hold my hand Nikki, so you don't get lost." Bianca said. "It is a huge ship, and you can't leave me. You promise." Bianca said.
"I promise." Nikki said.
Joe was walking around Titanic's D Deck, trying to find his room. He found it, and it was much better then he expected. It was all white, it had two sets of bunk beds, a sink, and a toilet. It was much better then he expected. "Wow." He thought "This is the life."
"Wow look at how pretty this is." Nikki said.
"Wonderful." Bianca said. Again she tried to sound enthusiastic.
There was a knock on the door, and in walked Justin. He was tall, and handsome, but cruel and cold on the inside. She was supposed to marry him, and she did not want to, but she had no choice. She had an idea to try and avoid him at this time.
"Good afternoon, Bianca." Justin said as he kissed her hand.
"Good afternoon to you too, Justin." Bianca said.
"Beautiful ship isn't it." Justin said.
"Yeah it really is. I was just going to go look around." Bianca said.
"Nikki, do you want to walk around the ship with me?" Bianca asked.
"Oooo. Yeah, that would be great." Nikki answered.
"Good. Let's go." Bianca said.
They walked passed the grand staircase which was just stunning. They walked onto the outside deck. They went past the first and second class deck, and went straight to the third class deck. There they could stand at the front of the ship. When they got there, all they could see ahead of them was ocean.
"Why are we here?" Nikki asked.
"It has nicer people, and a better view here." Bianca said.
"Momma wouldn't like this." Nikki said.
"I know. That is why we are here. I need to get away from Mom and the rest of the family. They make me feel sick." Bianca said.
"Hello." Came the voice of a male from behind them. Bianca quickly turned around and saw a very handsome young man standing behind her. He was obviously steerage. His clothes were all tattered and worn.
"Hello sir." Bianca said politely. "I am Bianca Tivoli and this is my little sister Nikki."
"Hi." Nikki said.
"Hello ladies, I am Joe Strade." Joe said. "What are you two first class ladies doing on the steerage deck?"
"Well, we can stand at the front of the ship here." Bianca said.
"It is really pretty here." Nikki said.
"She is so adorable." Joe said.
"I know. She is my pride and joy, Nikki the only good thing in my life." Bianca said.
"Look Bianca! A dolphin!" Nikki said excitedly.
"Would ya look at that." Joe said.
Horns sounded from behind them. It was the dinner calling.
"Well that is the dinner bell, we should be getting ready Nikki." Bianca said.
"I don't want to go." Nikki said.
"We have no choice." Bianca argued.
"It was very nice to meet you Mr. Strade, but we have to go." Bianca said as she shook Joe's hand.
"It was very nice to meet you two wonderful ladies too." Joe added.
"Bye Joe." Nikki said.
"Meet me here tonight right after dinner." Joe whispered in Bianca's ear.
"Ok." Bianca said back.
"I told you there were nicer people here." Bianca said.
"You were right." Nikki said.
"We have to keep this a secret. You can't tell mom about Joe because she will get very angry, got it." Bianca said.
"Got it." Nikki said.
"I got a plan to get us out of eating dinner." Bianca said.
"What is it?" Nikki wondered.
"Well, I am going to need your help." Bianca said. "You are going to have to be very naughty at dinner. You know, do the stuff that mother hates. Then she is going to make me take you to our room, when really we are going to go and meet Joe." Bianca said excitedly.
"I like that." Nikki said. "Joe is a very nice boy. Much better then Justin." Nikki said.
"I think so too." Bianca answered.
After he saw Bianca and Nikki leave the deck, Joe ran back down to his stateroom. He went to get washed up of course. He had to impress this girl. It was not going to be easy either. She was first and he was third what was he thinking in the first place anyway. When he got down into is room, he was thinking all of these thoughts, and he had a dazed look on his face.
"What happened to you." His roommate John said.
"I think that he met a girl." His other roommate Anthony said.
"How did you know." Joe said.
"Who is she and what does she look like?" Anthony said excitedly.
"Well, her name is Bianca Tivoli, and she has light brown hair, and she is just gorgeous." Joe said.
"You mean Bianca Tivoli, the first class girl heir to millions of dollars." John said.
"I guess so." Joe said.
"You think you, a steerage passenger has a chance with a first class goddess." Anthony said.
"Well she seemed really nice." Joe said.
"I don't know mate. Don't get your hopes up." Anthony said.
"I know. I am meeting her and her little sister after dinner tonight." Joe added.
"Good luck mate." John said.
Joe looked in the mirror, and ran his fingers through his hair. "I should be off." Joe said.
Nikki wore a beautiful pink and white dress to dinner. She had a pink ribbon to tie her hair up, and she look so cute. Bianca, wore a light blue dress, that was long sleeved and it looked absolutely stunning on her. They walked to the Grand Staircase. There they met their mother, father, and Justin. It was worse than a nightmare: it was real.
They sat at a big round table which sat about twenty people. Justin ordered her food for her. "I can do that myself." Bianca thought. Nikki was sitting slouched in her chair, her napkin was not in her lap, and there was food on her mouth.
"What has gotten into you tonight Nikki?" Her mother asked.
"I don't know and I don't care." Nikki answered back.
"Bianca will you please take your sister back to the room, she is not acting appropriately." Their mother said.
"Yes mother." Bianca answered.
When they were out of the first class dining hall, Bianca felt free already.
"You did it Nikki. Fantastic Job." Bianca said excitedly.
"Thank you." Nikki said.
"Let's go find Joe." Bianca said.
"Yes." Said Nikki.
They found Joe standing at the front of the ship. "He looks so handsome." Bianca thought. "Boy he is much more better looking than Justin. Oh no. Am I falling for a third class boy that I don't even know. Mother and Father will not allow this, even if it makes me happy." Bianca thought.
"Mr. Strade." Bianca said.
"Hello Bianca, and Hello Nikki." Nikki practically blushed when he said her name.
"You can call me Joe you know." Joe said.
"What did you want to talk to me about." Bianca said.
"I don't know. Just wanted to get to know you a little bit." Joe said.
"Sure. It is a relief to get out of that place anyway." Bianca said.
"You don't like it?" Joe asked.
"I know what you are thinking. I am rich so I should be happy." Bianca said.
"No not at all. I am wondering of what can make you so unhappy." Joe said.
"It's mother and father." Nikki said. "The control everything that we do. Even who we are going to marry." Nikki added.
"I am stuck marrying this guy named Justin. He is just awful. But he has tons of money, so mother and father think that he is a suitable husband for me." Bianca said. "I should be able to choose what I want, I don't want people making my decisions for me." Bianca said.
"Wow." Joe said. "I have an idea. How about you and Nikki come to a third class party tomorrow night?" Joe asked. "It will be a lot of fun." Joe said.
"A party. Can we go Bianca please please." Nikki begged.
"Sure why not." Bianca said.
"Great I should see you tomorrow, around five-ish." Joe said.
"Got it." Bianca said.
As her and Joe continued their conversation, little did they know, but Justin was spying on them. He was up on the first class deck, looking down onto the ship. He did not want Bianca to go see that steerage boy again. She was his not some worthless, penniless boy's. "I will get her." He thought. "She will be mine no matter what." Justin thought again.
"Well, it was very nice to see you again Joe. I will be looking forward to the party tomorrow." Bianca said.
"Me too. I like parties." Nikki said.
Nikki went up and gave Joe a hug. She obviously liked him.
"Why thank you Nikki." Joe said.
"Well, are you gonna hug Bianca now?" Nikki asked.
"Yes he is." Bianca said.
They both embraced, in a really tight hug. "Boy does this feel good. I actually feel safe and wanted. I am really starting to like this boy. I definitely have to see him everyday now." Bianca thought.
"This is great. The guys are never going to believe this. She will never fall for me though. I am poor and she is a millionaire. This can't be happening. Or maybe it can be." Joe thought.
When they pulled back, they looked into each others eyes. Bianca knew that there was something special there.
"Thank you Joe." Bianca said.
"No thank you." Joe said.
"I should be taking Nikki back to our room, it is late for her." Bianca said.
"Bye." They all said.
When they were walking away, Bianca started to tell Nikki about how she felt about Joe.
"Ya know Nikki, I really like him." Bianca said.
"Me too. Momma, Daddy and Justin aren't going to be very happy people." Nikki said.
"Since when have I cared about what they thought." Bianca asked.
"Never." Nikki answered.
"Right Nikki." Bianca said.
