12:00 A.M.
Kathy, Kate, Leo, Victor, Frances, Ewan and Billy were on the deck of the Titanic, the iceberg had already hit the side of the ship, the damage had already been done. As Frances looked all around the deck of the ship, she shivered, not once, not twice but three times. She looked at Victor, Ewan and Leo with worried eyes.
"I—I hate to say this," Frances said in between her teeth chattering due to coldness, "but I—I think I'm going to go back down to one of the rooms to see if I can find and get some more clothes."
Leo frowned at her.
"What?" Leo asked with disbelief. "You didn't get enough when you were in there?"
"Yeah I mean to go back down there," Billy said, "What if you get CAUGHT. You don't have enough clothes—too bad."
Kate looked at Billy and sucked her teeth at him.
"Billy, stop it," Kate said. "She probably is still cold, I'M still cold and I have on five shirts. Its freezing out here."
"EXACTLY," Frances said strongly, "Besides it was hard to find ANYMORE clothes with Billy and KATHY TAKING all of them!"
Kathy gasped and looked at Frances with a hint of shock.
"Hey I did no such damn thing!" Kathy yelled angrily. "I'm just trying to make sure that if I HAD to hit those icy waters, I wouldn't freeze my ass off!"
Billy shrugged and nodded.
"Well, you can't argue with that." Billy said in a low voice, while pacing back and forth.
Kathy nodded.
"THANK YOU." Kathy said.
"Oh would all of you stop bloody complaining!" Ewan said angrily. "I've felt colder air back home than I have on here."
Victor sighed and stood up and frowned slightly.
"Look, we can't have anyone feeling—frozen," Victor said. "I mean, what if the boat with Frances, Kathy and Kate on it, happens to turn over and they end up in the water, they NEED to be layered so they won't freeze and die."
Leo sighed and shook his head.
"Victor's right." Leo replied. "Alright, um—Come on Frances I'll go with you to find a room, everyone else stay here."
Kate stood up quickly.
"Leo no!" Kate yelled.
Billy sighed and rolled his eyes at both Kate and Leo.
"Oh here we go with this shit again." Billy said under his breath.
"I'll be alright, Kate, it'll only take five minutes." Leo said.
"Yeah, but what if the water hits the rooms or—or something?" Kate asked.
"That's unlikely to happen," Ewan said, "in the film, the water didn't hit until much later."
"So?" Kate said with worried eyes. "Ewan, Titanic was a movie, we're ON the ACTUAL ship now."
Victor nodded and glanced over at Kate.
"Kate's right," Victor said seriously. "I mean THAT was a movie, all the fiction bullshit is over now, we're in this for real, and it could be entirely different from the film."
Ewan sighed and nodded slightly.
"I'll go down there with her." Ewan said as he stared at Frances.
"What?" Leo said with a frown. "No, I'll go, I can—"
"No," Ewan interrupted. "I'll go, you stay up here with everyone Leo. They need you up here, you know what to do. Besides, like you said, it'll only take five minutes."
"You sure, Ewan?" Kate asked, looking at him with doubt.
Ewan shrugged and briefly smirked.
"Why the bloody hell not?" Ewan said, "besides I need some more layers to throw on too."
"You—you really don't have to, if you don't want, Ewan." Frances. "I mean I can go on my—"
"NO, absolutely not." Billy said sternly. "I don't think any of us should split up and go anywhere on our own. Its not like we're actually passengers on the ship. No one knows us on here, so we should stick together, go together as a whole or in pairs."
"I agree," Kathy said. "You go alone, that's when shit starts."
Frances nodded at the others.
"Alright, we'll be back in five minutes." Frances replied, before walking away with Ewan towards the downstairs, to the state rooms.
Leo looked at everyone with an eyebrow raised.
"We'll just wait for them to get back here." Leo said.
Victor sighed and frowned.
"Shouldn't take long." Victor said.
"Good God, all I want is to get OFF this ship and go BACK to 2012 where I came from." Kathy said with a frustrated sigh.
Kate laughed.
"I know, go back to 2012 and go home and have some warm pumpkin pie and mashed potatoes." Kate said.
Billy laughed.
"Mmm, buttery mashed potatoes and cheesy mac n' cheese." Billy said with a laugh that was shared by Kathy and Leo.
Leo scoffed and shook his head.
"Mac n' cheese, potatoes, pie and a nice copy of Playboy magazine." Leo said with a smile and a laugh.
Kate looked at him with a hint of disgust.
"Ugh, you men and your naked women fantasies." Kate said with a laugh that was shared by Kathy and Victor.
"Whatever, its still THE best way to end a day, ya know?" Billy said with a laugh that was shared by Leo.
As Ewan and Frances went downstairs searching for an empty first class room, they were finding no such luck, every room was either locked or occupied and when Ewan and Frances did find an occupied room that they barged into, they gave the excuse that they thought they were going into their own room. As Ewan and Frances continued to walk down the hall, Ewan sighed with anger.
"Bloody damn it all to hell!" Ewan swore angrily. "There's not ONE unoccupied room!"
Frances frowned.
"Its probably because its late at night, ya know?" Frances said.
Ewan stopped in the middle of the hallway and thought.
"Ok, wait, we have to try the third class rooms." Ewan said as he glanced at Frances. "I'm sure some of the rooms down there are vacant right now, at least I hope, and—uh—maybe they have some extra clothes down there, you don't mind going down there, do ya love?"
Frances laughed very briefly.
"Mind? Ewan, we're on a DOOMED ship, in need of extra clothes, so we won't freeze, hell NO I don't mind." Frances replied.
Ewan laughed and took her hand and smiled.
"Alright, come on, let's do this quickly." Ewan replied as they hurriedly walked down the hallway.
As Ewan and Frances exited the elevator, they hurriedly walked down the third class hallway. The hallway was basically empty, Ewan had thought it was just because maybe everyone were in their rooms.
"Ok, let's start checking rooms." Ewan said before starting to open every room door to see if they were deserted.
Frances and Ewan had further and further away from the elevator they had gotten off from, as they went checking room after room. Finally, Ewan found an empty room as he opened one door. He looked at Frances and smiled.
"Hey, I found one, Frances, come on, hurry up!" Ewan said with a brief smile.
Frances smiled with relief.
"Yes! Great!" Frances replied as she ran towards the room door Ewan was standing at.
Ewan and Frances quickly went inside the room and closed the door shut.

As Leo, Kathy, Kate, Victor and Ewan were waiting on the deck of Titanic for Ewan and Frances to return, they were seeing numerous things, they were seeing numerous officers walk pass, the officers were talking to each other frantically. However, it was Victor's loud gasp that gained the attention of the other actors.
"My god, look!" Victor said with a look of shock.
"What? What do you see?" Leo asked.
"Look—look!" Victor said as he pointed at what he was staring at.
Leo, Kathy, Kate and Billy looked at what Victor was pointing at and Leo laughed briefly.
"Wow," Leo said with a smile.
"Its—its him, the—ACTUAL him." Victor said with a smile.
"Thomas Andrews." Kate said with a surprised look.
"You should go over and say something to him, Victor." Billy said with a smile.
"Yeah since you played him in the movie." Kathy said with a smile.
Victor looked down and laughed nervously.
"Oh no, I—I couldn't." Victor said. "Besides, he's busy with what's going on."
"Oh no, come on, Vic," Leo said as he went over and put his arm on Victor's shoulder. "What's two minutes to say hello. Besides this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Go on."
Victor sighed and shrugged.
"Alright." Victor said as he walked over to Thomas Andrews—the REAL Thomas Andrews.
Thomas Andrews was walking past, his face held a look of unbelief, shock and hurt at the news that the ship he built would soon be sinking. Victor was quite nervous when he walked over to Thomas, but yet in still anyway, Victor tapped Thomas Andrews on the shoulder.
"Um, Mr. Andrews? Thomas Andrews?" Victor said politely.
Thomas Andrews turned and looked at Victor and immediately Victor felt a slight chill up his spine. Victor felt like he was looking in the mirror—almost. Thomas Andrews looked almost identical to how Victor looked in the film. Thomas Andrews looked at Victor with an agitated confused look.
"Um—um, yes I am sir, do I know you?." Thomas Andrews replied in a low, slightly hurt tone.
"Wow, I'm Victor Garber," Victor said with a brief smile. "You don't know me—of course, but um, wow its great to meet you. You're such a brilliant, magnificent builder. I was so honored to play you in—"
Victor stopped and looked away and laughed briefly. He realized Thomas Andrews had NO idea a movie was made about him or the ship.
"I—I mean I'm so honored to meet you." Victor added.
Thomas Andrews looked at Victor with a confused look, but then looked down and briefly contrived a smile.
"Well um, it—its nice to meet you as well, Mr. Garber." Andrews replied. "I—I'm sorry, I must go now though, I—I have an emergency."

Thomas Andrews turned to leave, but Victor quickly reached out and grabbed Andrews's arm.
"Um, Mr. Andrews, wait." Victor said with a serious expression.
Thomas Andrews looked at him with frustration but more so, with impatience.
"Yes?" Andrews said impatiently.
"Um, I—I just wanted to say—I'm sorry." Victor replied. "I'm sorry but it—it's not your fault, PLEASE know that."
Thomas Andrews stared at Victor, as if wondering how Victor knew, how Victor knew that he was feeling guilty. Victor briefly smiled.
"Well, that's it, you better go," Victor said with a brief, bitter laugh. "You have to go be the hero now."
Thomas Andrews continued to stare at Victor, as if trying to read him, but he couldn't. Thomas looked down and nodded and then looked back up at Victor and gave him a warm, friendly look of thanks before quickly walking away. Victor stared at him as he walked away and felt sadness, he had just met the man whom he portrayed in Titanic, the man whom, in just a short while would go down with the ship and die…like the hero he was. It was everything for Victor not to get teary eyed at that moment.
