Thomas Andrews leads a small tour group, including Rosalie, Judy and Edward, around the ship's Gymnasium. All around, there were all sorts of machines with people on the. There was a woman pedaling a stationary bicycle in a long dress, and she looked ridiculous. "This reminds me of my Harvard days." Edward noted, looking around the room.
Going all over the room was a bouncy little man in white flannels. "May I introduce Tim Walter McCauley, the gym instructor." Thomas told the tour group. The bouncy little man smiled at the group, eager to show them his equipment. He takes the group to a machine with a saddle on it and hits the switch. The machine starts to undulate. Rosalie puts her hand on the machine, curious. "The electric horse is very popular." McCauley said. "We even have an electric camel," He turns his head to Judy, "Care to try your hand at the rowing, m'am?" He asked, a bit to eager. It was like he was hoping Judy would say yes.
Judy looked at McCauley like he was the devil, "Don't be absurd. I can't think of a skill I should likely need less." She said. McCauley looked like she had just killed his puppy, but Judy could care less.
"The next stop on the tour will be the bridge." Thomas said. He gestured for the group to go ahead, "This way, please."
Gabriel walked with determination and stepped over the gate that separated third from second class. She was followed by Dylan and Emmett. "She's a goddess amongst mortals, no denying that." Dylan began, "But, she's in another world. Just forget about her." He asked, putting his hand on Gabriel's shoulder. Gabriel doesn't say a thing as she reaches the wall below first deck. She glances around the deck and when she doesn't see anyone, she nods her head. "Ready...go." She said. Dylan shook his head, but put his hands together and crouched down. Gabriel steps into Dylan's hands and gets boosted up to the next deck, scrambling over the railing.
"She's not bein' logical, I tell ya." Dylan said. Emmett laughed and put his arm over Dylan, "Love isn't logical." He said.
::::::
Gabriel carefully climbs over the railing and picks up a dark green coat and bowler cap. She walks away and slips on the coat, putting the bowler cap on at a jaunty angle. From a distance, she could pass for a gentleman.
She rounded a corner and found herself at the back of a group. She saw Rosalie and tapped her shoulder. She turns and gasps. Gabriel motions for her to follow her, and she cuts away from the group. Gabriel holds open a door and Rosalie ducks in, followed by Gabriel. She closed the door and glanced out of the ripple-glass window to the starboard rail, where the gym instructor was chatting up the woman that was riding the bike.
Rosalie bows her head, "Gabriel, this is impossible. I can't see you." She whispered. Gabriel took her by the shoulders. "Rosalie, you're no picnic. In all honesty, your a spoiled kid." Gabriel said, which earned her a glare from Rosalie. "But, you're also a strong woman and have a pure heart. You're the most beautiful and wonderful woman that I've ever known and-"
She got cut off by Rosalie. "Gabriel, I-" She went to say, but Gabriel put up her hand. "Let me get this out, please. You're amazing and I know I have nothing to offer you. I know this, but I'm involved now. You jump, I jump. Remember?" She asked. Rosalie nodded. "I can't turn away without knowing that you're going to be alright." Tears start to fall from Rosalie's eyes, "You're making this very hard." Rosalie said, "I'll be fine, really." She gave Gabriel a sad smile.
Gabriel shook her head, "I don't think so. They've got you in a glass jar, like your some sort of butterfly. But, you're going to die if you don't break out." Gabriel said, trying to make Rosalie see what she saw. "You probably won't die right away, cause you're strong. But, sooner or later, the fire in you is going to burn out." Rosalie squared her shoulders, "It's not up to you to save me, Gabriel." She said. Gabriel smiled and tucked a stray hair behind Rosalie's ear, "You're right. I can't save you, only you can do that." Gabriel said.
"I have to go, they'll miss me." Rosalie said, stepping away from Gabriel. "Please, for both our sakes, leave me alone." She didn't give Gabriel a chance to answer and stepped out the door, going to the group and blending back in like nothing happened.
Rosalie glanced around the room she was currently in, sighing as her mother talked to other women about her wedding invitations with Edward. "We had to send the invitations to the printers twice. And the bridesmaids dresses! We had to-" Judy said, but Rosalie drowned her voice out.
She looked over her shoulder and saw a little girl and a mother having tea. The four year old had white gloves on, which daintily picked up a cookie. The mother corrected her on her posture, and the way she was to hold the teacup. The little girl tried to please her mother, her expression serious. Rosalie saw herself in that little girl. She saw herself trying, and failing, to please Judy.
Rosalie glanced away from the mother and daughter and poured her teacup over, spilling it all over her dress. She faked a gasp, "Oh, look at that. Excuse me mother." She said, excusing herself.

Gabriel stared down at the passing ocean, watching her shimmering reflection in the water. She was at the bow railing, which was her favorite spot on the ship. She closed her eyes, letting the chill wind clear her head.
"Hello, Gabriel." She heard behind her. Her eyes quickly opened and she turned around. Standing with a tea stained dress, was Rosalie. She looked at the redhead with a small smile, "I talked to Emmett and he said you might be up here." She said. Gabriel smiled and motioned for Rosalie to come closer, which she did. She placed her hands on Rosalie's waist, like she was about to kiss her.
"Close your eyes." Gabriel whispered. Rosalie shuts her eyes, and she fells Gabriel turning her forward...the way the ship was going. She presses her gently to the rail, standing right behind her. She then takes her two hands and raises her arms until she is standing with her arms, outstretched on each side. She feels Gabriel's hands lower from hers, and she's left with her arms spread..like wings.
"Okay. Open them." She whispered in her ear. Rosalie opened her eyes and gasped. Her field of vision was all water, like there was no ship under them at all...just the two of them soaring. The Atlantic unrolls towards her. There is only the wind, and the hiss of the water fifty feet below. Rosalie smiled, "I'm flying!" She yelled. She leaned forward, arching her back. Gabriel wraps her hands around the blondes waist, steadying her.
Rosalie closes her eyes and leans back into Gabriel's chest. She pushed herself slightly against her. Gabriel slowly raised her hands, arms outstretched and intertwined there hands. She tips her face forward towards the blonde's blowing hair, letting the scent of her wash over her. Rosalie turns her head towards Gabriel, there lips a breath away. She lowers her arms and turns forward, catching Gabriel's lips in hers. Gabriel wraps her arms around her waist tightly and deepened the kiss.
::::::
They were now in Rosalie's room, and Gabriel was overwhelmed by the richness of the room. She set her sketchbook and drawing materials on the marble table.
"Will this light do?" Rosalie asked, "Don't artists need good light?" Gabriel laughed, and then talked with a bad French accent. "Zat is true, I am not used to working in such 'orreeble conditions." She said, waving her hand like she was dismissing a peasant. Her eyes then caught the paintings that hung on the walls. "Hey...Monet!" She said, going over to the paintings. "Isn't her great...the use of color?" She asked. "I saw him once, but it was through a hole in this garden fence in Giverny."
"Die he catch you?" Rosalie asked. Gabriel turned away from the painting, "No, he just sat there and painted flowers." She said, "It looked very peaceful."
Rosalie went to the walk-in wardrobe closet. Gabriel followed her and see's her crouched in front of a giant safe, working on the combination. "Edward insists on lugging this thing everywhere. He says he doesn't trust other people to make sure his stuff is secure." Rosalie told her. Gabriel looked over her shoulder, "Should I be expecting dear Edward anytime soon?" She asked. Rosalie laughed and shook her head, "As long as the cigars and brand keep on coming, he'll be gone for hours." She said. She smiled when she heard the safe unlock.
She opened up the safe and removed the necklace, and held it out for Gabriel. Gabriel took it in her hands, every so carefully. "What is it?" She asked, "A sapphire?" Rosalie got off of the floor, "No. It's a diamond, a very rare one. It's called the Heart of the Ocean." Gabriel whistled as she gazed at something worth more then anything she had owned.
Rosalie walked up to Gabriel, "I want you to draw me like one of your French girls, wearing this." Rosalie asked. Gabriel nodded, not looking up. Rosalie smiled, "Wearing only this." She said. Gabriel looked up, surprise on her face. She then gave the blonde a giant smile and nodded.
Rosalie walked passed the redhead and stood in front of her mirror, Gabriel in the sitting room. She took out the silver butterfly comb and let her hair cascade down her shoulders. She entered the sitting area and watched as Gabriel laid out her pencils like they were surgical tools. Her sketchbook was open and ready. Gabriel looked up at Rosalie, only in a silk kimono.
"The last thing I want is a picture of me looking like a doll." Rosalie told Gabriel, "As a paying customer, I expect to get what I want." She said, handing the redhead a dime. Gabriel took the dime and watched as Rosalie parted her kimono, the blue stone lying on her creamy breast. Gabriel let out a small whimper, hopeful that Rosalie didn't hear her.
Rosalie smiled and let the the kimono drip to floor...leaving herself in all of her glory. She went to the couch and laid down, settling like a cat. "Tell me when it looks right to you." Rosalie told Gabriel. Gabriel sat down on the chair and tilted her head, "Uh..bend your left leg a bit. And, lower your head." She said. Rosalie did just that. Gabriel smiled, "That's it, now eyes to me." She asked. Rosalie turned her gaze at the redhead, smiling at her a bit.
Gabriel smiled and started to sketch, but dropped her pencil. Rosalie tried, but failed, to contain a laugh. "I believe you are blush, Mrs Big Artiste." Rosalie said, seeing the redness that appeared on Gabriel's face. "I can't imagine Monsieur Monet blushing." Gabriel coughed and picked up the pencil from the ground. She tilted her head, her eyes roaming over Rosalie. She turned her sketchbook to landscape and began.
She draws with sure strokes and light shadows. She glances up over her sketchpad now and then, adding here and swiping there. The candlelight beside's Rosalie casts the room in a red glow. Gabriel smiles at her drawing, her best work yet. She sat up straight and turned it over, letting Rosalie look at it. Rosalie sat up and looked at the sketch. She smiled, liking it. "It seems that you have caught me in that paper. If I didn't know any better, I'd say that was me." Rosalie said, her voice a bit teasing. Gabriel just scratched the back of her head, smiling.
"Date it, Gabriel. I wish to remember this night till my dying breath." Rosalie asked. Gabriel nodded and dated it, 4/14/1912. She carefully tares the sketch out of the book and gives it to Rosalie. She accepts the drawing, then scribbles a note on a piece of stationary. Rosalie walked to the safe and placed the diamond back in it's place. She then carefully placed the drawing and note in the safe. She shuts it with a loud, clunking, sound.
She then grabs some random clothes and puts them on. She returns to the sitting room, smiling at Gabriel. Before she could say anything, they hear a key being placed in the lock. Rosalie quickly grabs Gabriel's hand and leads her silently through the bedrooms. "Miss Rosalie? Hello?" They heard Edward's manservant. They quickly went through Rosalie's stateroom, closing the door as silently as they could. They run across the corridor towards the B deck foyer. They round a corner, and that's when the manservant steps out of the sitting room. He sees Gabriel and Rosalie, so he hustles after them.
"Come on!" Rosalie yelled, her grip tightening around Gabriel's hand. They run as fast as they could, surprising the few ladies and gentlemen that were about. They run into an elevator and scares the hell out of the operator, whom looked like he was about to doze off. "Take us down!" Rosalie yelled. "Quickly, quickly!" She said. The Operator scrambled to comply, so Gabriel helped him close the steel gate.
Just as there descending, the manservant ran up to the lift. He slams his hand on the bars of the gate, which makes Rosalie laugh very unladylike. The Operator started at her, his eyes wide and mouth opened. When the lift stops, Rosalie and Gabriel run out. The Operator just sighs and shakes his head, closing the gate and going back up.
They find themselves in a room with fans and boilers. Gabriel leans against a wall and Rosalie holds her stomach, both of them laughing. "He's pretty touch for a valet." Gabriel points out. "He's an ex-Pinkerton. Edward's father hired him to keep Edward out of trouble." She said. Gabriel nods her head in understanding, then her eyes go wide as she sees the manservant across the corridor nearby. He starts to charge towards the two.
Rosalie and Gabriel run around a corner, but find themselves at a dead end with only one door marked -Crew Only- Gabriel shrugs and flings it open, motioning for Rosalie to go first. She shuts it, just as the manservant rounds the corner, and latches the deadbolt. They hear the manservant slamming against the door moments later. They spot a ladder and start to climb down. When they reach the end, they look around and were amazed.
It looked like hell itself, with roaring furnaces and black figures moving in and out of the smoky glow. They ran the length of the room, dodging amazed stokers and trimmers with wheelbarrows of coal. "Carry on! Don't mind us!" Gabriel shouts over her shoulder. They run into the boiler room, Gabriel pulling Rosalie through the hot alley between the two boilers. They wind up in the dark, out of sight from the working crew. From the shadows, they see the stokers shoveling coal into the maws of the furnaces.
The furnaces roar to life, the stokers becoming silhouettes. Gabriel couldn't help herself and kissed Rosalie's face, tasting the sweat that was trickling down from her forehead. Rosalie kissed her back, there kiss growing more passionately by the second.
::::::
After almost getting caught by a crew member, they run and enter the cargo room. They laugh as they navigate through the rows of the stacked cargo. They come across a brand new Renault touring car. It looks like a royal coach from a fairy tale, it's brass trim and headlamps set off by its burgundy color.
Rosalie gets into the back seat, acting very royal like. Gabriel jumps into the driver's seat, nodding to herself on the feel of the leather and wood. She looks behind her, "Where to, Miss?" She asks Rosalie. Rosalie smiles, "Take me to the stars." She asks. Her hands grab Gabriel and pulls her into the back. She lands next to her, her breath a bit loud in the quiet darkness. They both look at one another, a smile on there faces.
"Are you nervous?" Gabriel asked, an eyebrow raised. Rosalie smirks, "Au contraire, mon cher." Says. Her arms wrap around Gabriel's neck and brings the redhead down. "Put your hands on me. Put them everywhere." Rosalie asks Gabriel. Gabriel nods her head and places her hand underneath Rosalie's dress, right at her mid-thigh. She inched her fingers up to Rosalie's lower lips and teased them. "You're trembling." Gabriel said. Rosalie let out a sigh, "It's okay, i'm alright." She said. Gabriel nodded and started to pump her fingers in and out of Rosalie, smiling as the blonde bit her lip. "You can moan if you wish." Gabriel told her, "We're the only ones down here and no one can hear you."
Rosalie let out a loud moan then, causing Gabriel to moan as well and close her eyes. "Gabriel?" Rosalie asked. "Why do I feel something growing in your pants?" She asked. Gabriel opened her eyes and smiled, "I said I knew how to treat a lady right. Want to see?" Gabriel asked, not ashamed of her little friend...even though it was the main reason her mother kicked her out. Rosalie nodded her head, her eyes half closed.
Gabriel hunched herself up and pulled down her pants and under garments, revealing her little friend. It stood an average seven inches. Rosalie locked eyes with Gabriel and nodded her head, letting her know that she was fine with it. Gabriel slowly eased herself in and kissed Rosalie with so much love. Rosalie kissed back with the same amount of love.
"I love you, Gabriel." Rosalie said.
"And I love you, Rosalie." Gabriel said.
