As Billy, Leo and Victor were making their way back out to the deck, Victor grabbed Leo and Billy by the arm, just as they were about to walk into the large number of crowds that were running to the top of the deck that was slowly tilting upwards in the air, but had been in still motion for a brief moment, a moment Victor was glad for.
"Hey wait!" Victor yelled.
Leo gave him an angry "what!" look.
"I think we should hold hands!" Victor said.
Billy frowned and shook his head quickly.
"What!" Billy yelled. "COME ON, now is not the time for holding hands, Victor! Good God, what's next? We're going to sing We Are The World while running around on deck?"
"No!" Victor yelled. "We hold hands so we don't get separated! Look at how many people are running around on deck, trying to get to the top of the bow. We'll all get lost among the crowd!"
Leo shook his head and nodded.
"Victor's right, we should," Leo added. "So that way, when we jump into the water, we'll jump in together."
"NO!" Victor yelled. "We should do what your character did in Titanic, Leo—stay on the ship for as long as possible!"
Leo and Billy both looked at Victor with confused eyes.
"WHAT!" Leo and Billy both yelled in confusion.
"YES!" Victor yelled. "It worked for Jack in the movie, so it might work for us! It will, if we do it right!"
Billy sighed and frowned.
"Victor's right," Billy said, "your character, Jack, made it through the ship going down underwater—until you got INTO the water."
Leo sighed and nodded quickly.
"Fine, alright, that's our plan then." Leo said.
Victor and Billy quickly turned to walk away but Leo grabbed their arms.
"WHAT!" Billy yelled. "Shouldn't we be going to the top of the deck!"
"Wait!" Leo said. "If we do this, we have to know, this ship is going to tilt very fast and so we all have to hold on for dear—"
"Leo, stop, alright?" Billy said quickly. "This isn't Titanic, and neither Victor nor I are Rose, we KNOW what to do, let's just get up there and do it—NOW."
Victor laughed briefly, and Billy shook his head and briefly smiled.
"Ok, ok, let's go." Leo said with a playful push he gave to Billy.
Instantly, the ship began tilting again, and it almost knocked Victor and Leo off their balance.
"Alright, its tilting again!" Billy yelled. "Lets go!"
Quickly, Leo, Billy and Victor made their way through the LARGE crowd of passengers that were running to the top bow of the ship, as the ship tilted further and further in the air, making people slide down the deck of the ship and off the ship and into the water. Victor was at the head of Leo and Billy and was pulling them as hard as he could up the deck, as they were pulling themselves as well.
"Damn it!" Leo yelled. "Its getting hard to run up! Its tilting higher!"
"Just keep pushing yourself!" Victor yelled. "We're almost there!"
As Billy looked behind him, he heard SEVERAL loud, agonizing screams of people. He saw several passengers slipping and falling down the deck as the deck of the ship slowly tilted up and up. He frowned with horror as he saw one little girl slid all the way down the deck and hit her head on a steel bow and blood splattered all over the bow as she went splashing into the icy waters. Billy shut his eyes tight, to keep from seeing such horrible images. As they finally reached the railing at the top of the ship, that was now sticking STRAIGHT UP in the air. Victor quickly climbed on the other side of the railing and held on for dear life.
"Ok, you two climb on this side and hold on to the railing!" Victor yelled. "DON'T LET GO!"
Quickly Billy climbed onto the other side of the railing, as Leo tried to climb the other side; he tripped on the railing and almost fell.
"Ahh! Damn it! Billy, Victor help!" Leo yelled as he tried to climb onto the railing, but couldn't because the ship's tilting, was tilting him back down towards the lower half of the ship, threatening to throw him down into the water. Leo was holding onto the railing with one hand and that hand was slipping.
Quickly Victor and Billy reached for Leo's hand, from the other side of the railing they were holding on to.
"Grab hold of my hand, Leo!" Victor yelled.
Leo reached forth and tried to grab Victor's hand with his right hand, but as he did, the ship jolted HARD another inch or so in the air and Leo's left hand that was holding onto the railing was seconds from slipping. Billy reached down as far as he could and grabbed Leo's arm and began trying to pull him up.
"Hold on Leo!" Billy yelled. "Grab hold of my arm!"
Leo reached as hard as he could and grabbed hold of Billy's arm as Billy began trying to pull Leo up. Billy could feel his own weight slipping off the railing, in the midst of him trying to pull Leo up.
"Don't drop me, Billy!" Leo yelled as Billy was slowly holding on to now both of Leo's arms.
"I won't just hold on!" Billy yelled.
As Victor held on to Billy, with one hand, to keep him from falling off the railing, he was holding on to the railing himself with the other hand. Finally, Billy was able to pull Leo up to where he was and Leo climbed over the railing and held on tightly. Leo sighed loudly with relief and closed his eyes briefly.
"Thank you Billy and Victor." Leo said between breaths of tiredness.
"Anytime, Leo." Billy said between tired breaths he himself had. "Jesus, Cameron is a DEAD man once we get back to 2012."
"I second that motion." Victor said which garnered a slight laugh from Leo.
As the ship continued lifting higher and higher in the air. All Leo, Victor and Billy could hear were the screams of everyone around them, all they could see was the ship slowly going down, down, down into the icy, cold ocean.
"Just hold on and hold your breath when we hit the water!" Victor yelled.
As Victor, Leo and Billy held onto the railing tight, as the ship was going further and further down into the water, they saw people screaming and struggling to get to where they were on the railing, only to fall down and drown in the water. Victor frowned with horror at seeing it all.
"My GOD, its worst than the film described!" Victor said under his breath, as his voice almost choked with emotion.
Just then, Billy heard the loud screams of a little girl near him. He looked to his right and saw a little girl, with long, black, silky hair and the prettiest blue eyes Billy had ever seen. She was hanging onto the railing with one hand that was slipping. She was minutes from falling and she was crying, SCREAMING out for help. However, no one who was holding onto the railing from the other side was trying to help her. Billy frowned deeply.
"Shit," Billy said under his breath while staring at the little girl.
Billy looked at Victor and Leo.
"I'm going to help that little girl, I'll be back." Billy said.
"What?" Victor asked. "What girl?"
Leo saw the little girl Billy was referring to and frowned.
"Billy no!" Leo yelled. "You can't be a hero right now! You'll die!"
Billy looked at Leo and looked at the girl, who was screaming and crying horrifically in panic.
"I—I can't watch that, Leo!" Billy yelled. "I—its different, I have a daughter now myself! I have to help her!"
Victor looked at the little girl and then at Billy and frowned.
"Be careful Billy, please!" Victor yelled.
Leo looked at Victor and frowned angrily.
"No don't tell him be careful!" Leo yelled. "He shouldn't do it! HE'LL GET KILLED trying to save her!"
"I have to, Leo!" Billy yelled.
Quickly Billy made his way over to where the little girl was, her hand was now seconds from slipping off the railing. Billy quickly reached over as far as he could to reach her. He reached over so far that he was almost falling off the railing himself. Leo and Victor were watching him with fear and worry.
"See! He's almost off the railing himself!" Leo yelled. 'He's gonna get killed!"
Billy reached his hand out to the little girl.
"Here sweetie, grab my hand!" Billy yelled.
The little girl looked up at him with her crying eyes and tried to reach her other hand up to him but couldn't. Billy could see behind her that they were minutes from being submerged in the water, so he had to act and act fast. Quickly, Billy reached down and caught the girl's hand, just as it slipped off the railing.
"He got her!" Victor yelled with a smile of joy. "He actually got her! Yes!"
"Holy shit." Leo said as he closed his eyes and sighed with relief.
Billy quickly pulled her up towards him on the railing.
"Grab hold of the railing!" Billy yelled while pulling her up. "Don't let go of the railing, ok!"
The little girl nodded quickly through some still light tears she was doing. As she quickly grabbed hold of the railing with both hands, Billy flipped over the railing by accident and was holding onto the railing with one hand, for dear life now himself. Leo and Victor gasped at the same time.
"SHIT!" Leo yelled.
"BILLY!" Victor yelled.
The little girl who had now climbed on the other side of the railing where Leo and Victor was, gasped and looked in horror at seeing the man who just saved her, was minutes from falling into death himself. As Billy tried to grab hold of the railing with BOTH hands, he was finding great difficulty in doing so. He yelled out loudly in anger, as he looked behind him and could see the icy waters were just seconds from reaching him.
"We've gotta help him!" Leo yelled as he made his way over to where Billy was hanging on from.

As Leo was making his way over to where Billy was, with Victor coming slowly behind, Billy somehow accidentally lost his grip on the railing and went flying down into the water, yelling loudly in horror. Leo and Victor looked with horror.
"BILLY! NO!" Leo yelled loudly.
"BILLY!" Victor yelled.
Billy splashed down deep into the water and out of the sights of Leo and Victor.
Leo looked at the water that was close to approaching them, the water that Billy had just fallen into, with tears clouding his eyes. Another one of his friends were dead—Billy Zane. Leo leaned his head down on the railing and broke into light tears. Victor who was right beside him, holding onto the railing, patted Leo on the back lightly to comfort him, light tears in Victor's eyes as well.
"Damn it, why is this happening to us!" Leo yelled through light tears.
"I don't know, Leo." Victor said, his own voice breaking. "At least he went saving someone's life."
Leo looked up and wiped the tears away with his trembling hand and looked at Victor.
"Here comes the water," Leo said. "Hold your breath—now!"
In one second the ship was submerged in water, just as Victor and Leo grabbed hands and held on tight. Within moments, Leo and Victor found themselves splashing around under the water, their hands both joined. As they lifted their heads up above and out of the water, they heard the LOUD cries of several people, in the water. Victor and Leo looked all around them. The water was icy cold but not that cold, partially due to both Victor and Leo layering themselves with clothes, so they wouldn't completely freeze. However, Leo and Victor's face was slowly becoming iced. Victor could feel it and he was sure Leo probably could too/
"Now what?" Leo asked.
Victor looked all around him, in the water.
"Remember, like the film," Victor said, through shivering, wet lips. "Let—lets find something we can lie on until a boat comes back."
"Well—well wait, how are you so sure a boat will come back?" Leo asked through cold, chattering teeth.
"It will, History says one boat came back." Victor said. "Only one—but one."
Leo nodded.
"Ok, lets see if we can find something." Leo said.
As Victor and Leo began looking around the water, Leo found a small, but wide, thick, wooden table. He quickly grabbed that and pulled it towards where Victor, who looked to have found a large, wooden door himself, was. As Leo positioned himself to lie on the table, he looked at Victor who was lying on the door and laughed.
"Damn, isn't this ironic?" Leo said through shivering lips.
Victor looked at him with an eyebrow raised.
"What?" Victor asked.
"You're on a door," Leo asked. "Rose was lying on a door in the film, remember?"
Victor looked down at the door he was lying on and frowned for a minute and then laughed.
"Holy shit, look at that." Victor said with a brief smile. "Well if I only knew the words to 'Come Josephine In My Flying Machine', it be just like the movie—except for me being Rose."
Leo and Victor laughed. Leo sighed as he lied his chin down on the table and frowned.
"Do—do you think Billy somehow is out here?" Leo asked. "Do you think he drowned?"
Victor took a while to answer and then frowned with sadness.
"I—I wish that could be true." Victor said in a low voice. "But the truth is, I—I don't know. The way he hit down into the water like that. I hardly think he'd have time to think about swimming. I think the fall alone would have killed him."
Leo closed his eyes as a tear streamed from it.
"I wish I had helped him help that little girl." Leo said in a low voice. "Its all my fault. Its my fault, Billy, Ewan and Frances died."
Victor sat up slightly and looked at Leo.
"Hey, stop that." Victor said strongly. "It was NOT your fault. You did everything you could, Leo. This is just—I—I don't know what it is, but its certainly not your fault, ok? OK?"
Leo looked down as tears clouded his eyes. Leo nodded slowly. Victor looked at him and faintly and briefly smiled as tears streamed from his own eyes.
