On the third day of Christmas James Cameron gave to me

3 classes swimming

Christmas day, and Margret Brown had no one on the ship to share it with. Not that it was about to get the upbeat woman down, nothing could ruin Molly's cheerful attitude! She decided that since everyone on the ship would be celebrating with their loved ones, today would be a perfect day to use the swimming pool on the ship. Not a soul would be there, she could stay there as long as she wanted with no worries!

However, the staff on the ship had failed to give Molly the memo about the third class being allowed to use the first class facilities, and when she arrived there was quite a sight to behold. The pool was full of third class passengers, while a timid group of second class passengers were staring at them in horror from the far side of the room. Several rebellious first class teenage boys who didn't want to spent Christmas with their snooty families, were grouped on the opposite side of the pool from the second class passengers, trying to figure out how the poor immigrants had gotten permission to use the swimming pool.

All three classes stared at each other, venom in their eyes. This wasn't going to do for Molly Brown, not in the slightest. She marched over to the first class boys and put her hands on her hips "Sonny, why ya standin there lookin like a fool?" she asked the Thayer's teenage son, Jack. He blinked in surprise at her "Mrs. Brown. Don't you see the, the poor people in the pool?" he asked. Molly raised an eyebrow at him "And?" she asked.

Jack stuttered "Well uh, they aren't supposed to be here. Are they?" he asked her, suddenly feeling timid. Molly shrugged "It's Christmas day, ya know that? Why not let em swim?" she asked and Jack shook his head "But how can we swim with them?". Molly huffed "There's only one way to find out sonny!" she told him. With a giant shove, Jack is send stumbling towards the edge of the pool. Before he could stop himself he'd splashed into the water and everyone in the room held their breath and waited.

He surfaced, spitting out warm salt water and making faces. After he was done showing his displeasure over the salty water, he looked around. He was in the same pool as the third class passengers, and he hadn't died from it. He smiled at them akwardly, giving a little wave before one of the children splashed him and stuck their tongue out at him. He gasped at the child in shock, before splashing the child back.

Molly watched, smiling proudly as Jack continued to play with the child. After a moment he turned to the other boys who were standing at the edge of the pool "Come on fellas! The waters fine!" he said. The boys looked at each other, unsure of themselves. A wary glance towards Mrs. Brown showed she was preparing to shove the rest of boys into the pool and they all charged towards the pool, jumping in one by one.

At seeing that it was clearly alright for the first and third classes to swim together, the second class all quickly joined in the fun. Everyone in the pool agreed to a game of Marco Polo, just before the game started Jack looked up "Aren't you coming Mrs. Brown?" he asked. She shook her head, laughing "Son, that pool is much too crowded now! I'm just going to head back to my stateroom now. But enjoy yourselves!" she replied.

Happy there was peace amongst the classes, Molly sauntered back to her stateroom. Changing into one of her more leisurely dresses, she settled beside the fireplace with a book by Sigmund Freud. She hoped perhaps there would be more peace amongst the classes in the future, she liked the thought. The fact the three classes were all playing Marco Polo in the swimming pool, even if it was just today, was enough of a Christmas Present for her. She wouldn't have asked for anything else in the world.
