Chapter 3: The Ship of dreams
10 of April of 1912
"It's been 84 years. And I can still smell the fresh paint. The china had never been used. The sheets had never been slept in. Titanic was called the ship of dreams. And it was. It really was."
The powerful Titanic was in the port of Southampton in England, soon, to leave for New York in some minutes. Employees of the gigantic ship ran in some directions quickly to review last details of the ship, while others treated to confer the passports of the passengers of all the classes, and taking them in they respective cabins.
The first trip the Titanic was one of the great new features in England, as soon as some people of all the classes were trying to enter in the ship. People who already were on board waved the people who were in land, others looked for to explore the dependences of the luxurious ship, already others, preferred to enter in they cabin and remain in silence.
In way to the great movement in the port, a rich car of a noble family crossed the immense movement in direction the entrance for the first class passengers in the ship. The drivers stop in a certain point with a little people, and then, one of the drivers had gone down of the car and then opened the door to allow the people in the interior left.
The driver extended his hand to help a lady to go down of the interior of the car, the woman after be with the foot in the ground, looked at the ship and her dark skin beautifully shone to the contact of the sun rays. Her face belonged to a young woman of 17 or 18 years, her green eyes like emerald and deep as an abyss, observed the ship with no much interested. Her hair was occult, imprisoned in the high of her head below of the great hat that any noble ladies of the time used.
Inside the car, after the lady, had left two gentlemen, one of them have the same skin tone of the young lady, his eyes were green and his hair were short of a dark color a purple living color. The young woman and he had an appearance of Indian people, differently of as the man in the car, that has a clear skin and a green, long hair and dark eyes.
"I do not see why so much scandal." The young lady commented without interest for the huge ship in her front. "It's doesn't seem to be more greater than The Mauretania"
"You can be indifferent with all the things, Anthy, but not to the Titanic." The man of green hair commented while he, the young lady, and the first man who leaves the car, walked in direction to the entrance of the first class. "It has 30 meters more than the Mauretania and is more luxurious."
"My sister is not impressed very easy, Saionji, remembers this when you marry her." The man of appearance similar to the young lady commented for the gentleman with green hair.
"I will try to remember this, Akio." Saionji said while he and Akio observed the ship.
"Then this is the ship that says to be unsinkable? - Akio asked and the man to its side agreed.
"It is unsinkable, even God himself could not sink to this ship." Saionji said, strengthening his opinion of the Titanic. The man with green hair then directed to his servant, before following Anthy and Akio to enter on board on the ship. "Take our luggage on board for rooms of first class, B-52, 54 and 56! And the safe, places on the parlor suite!"
"Welcome to the Titanic, milady." One of the employees of the ship said when Anthy enters on board, being followed for Akio, her brother, and for Saionji, her fiancé and soon future husband.
"It was the ship of dreams for all the others. For me it was a ship of slaves. Taking me chained in return to America. I was everything what a girl well behaved would have to be on the outside. On the inside, I was screaming."
The whistle sound of the Titanic touched, announcing that soon the ship would leave the port. And in a place not very distant of where the Titanic was, is a small bar where a group of friends played poker. In one of the sides it had two Irishman's that together they bet against two girls. The Irishman's had started to argue in they native language, in a form that the two girls could not understand what was being said. Both the girls seemed to have between 16 or 17 years, and one of them, possessing of clear skin and eyes and hair of an chestnut color, looked at her friend in games and whispered, criticizing her attitude.
"Utena, what you gave in your head? You bet everything we have!" The another girl, with clear with skin, almost pale, and short hair in a pink color, deviated her clear and deep blue eyes as the sky and looked at her friend, answering equally low.
"Wakaba, when we have nothing, there's nothing to lose." The girl with blue eyes smiled and looks back at the poker cards, with Wakaba reprehending her action.
"Your idiot, I don't believe that you bet our tickets." One of the Irishman's said for the other in they native language, in way that nobody in the bar understood what was said.
In the table where the item's bet in the poker game between the 4 people, were a great amount of money and two passports for the third class in the Titanic, plus some item's as clocks and penknives. After a time, Utena then lowered her cards and looked for the Irishman's. In the end of the game, the Irishman's then had lowered they cards in the table for the vision of everyone. Wakaba makes the same. Utena then looked at the cards in the table with a sad look, creating a smile in the faces of the Irishman's, before she commented with her friend.
"Forgive-me, Mrs. Wakaba Shinohara, but I feel informs you that WE WILL GO ON THE 3 CLASS IN THE TITANIC FOR AMERICA!" Utena said with a wide smile in her face, placing her cards in the table showing that the winner of that dispute had been the pink-haired girl.
The Irishman's observed the cards in the table with chock on they faces, while the two girls commemored, however one more time the whistle of the Titanic touched, and quickly, Utena and Wakaba had caught the money, objects and the tickets and left the bar in direction to the luxurious ship.
"WE ARE GOING TO AMÈRICA!" Wakaba cried out with happiness and Utena's wide smile did not leave her face. The Titanic would leave in 5 minutes, as soon as both had run the maximum that they could for one of the third classes entrances, and when the slope was being moved away from the ship, the girls had gone up and reached the door.
"What do you think you are doing? This ship is in departure!" The employee who was closing the door said, Utena however showed to him the tickets.
"We are passengers of this ship, we have the tickets here, let us enter." She said while the man looked at the two tickets in his hands, finally completely reopening the door.
"Alright, enter faster, we are going." Utena and Wakaba had great smiles in they faces when they had quickly entered in the ship.
"We are the girls with more luck of all England!" Wakaba said while she followed Utena in the corridors of the third class.
"Yes, but I was who win the tickets!" Utena smirks while they turned in the corridor, looking for the exit for the bow of the ship.
In the outside, the thick ropes that were imprisoned to the ship and to the port were untied. Soon, thick smoke clouds leave the 4 long pipes in the top of the ship, showing that the majority of the furnaces starts to created the necessary vapor for the functioning of the transatlantic. Utena and Wakaba had soon reached the nose of the gigantic ship and have there, together with some passengers of diverse classes, waved in farewell for the people that were in the port.
And then, slowly, the Titanic started to be pulled by 3 or 4 small boats, thus moving away great the transatlantic from the port until a safe distance before binding completely the helices and thus to demonstrate all the power that the ship have. After some minutes, all on board the ship had felt a light tremor caused for the functioning of the helices, and then the Titanic started to move away with the sounds of: "Good bye" "Good trip" and "We will miss you!"
Soon, the gigantic ship caught force, and quickly it started to move away from the port, opening way in way in the waters in direction to America. After some minutes, Utena and Wakaba went down in the corridors of the ship one more time, looking for the cabin that probably both the friends would go to divide.
"Here Wakaba! I found!" Utena said while she opened a door, showing a cabin for 3 or 4 people, the members of the crew of the 3 classes. There two women divided one of the two bunks that were in the place, as soon as Utena and Wakaba had complimented them, the two friends go to the second bunk.
Meanwhile in one of the wide luxurious cabins of the first class, Anthy chose the paintings that would be placed in the walls of her room.
"This here, milady?" A servant asks for the girl with dark skin that cautiously, observed with her green eyes the diverse options.
"Yes, this room needs of a little more color." The young woman says while she held in her hands one of the diverse pictures that she had brought from England. In this, some white roses beautifully were portrayed in vases on an old table.
Her wide hat now was deposited in a luxurious chair, showing her hair with a beautiful violet color, imprisoned in the high of her head.
"For heavens sake! Don't come again to me with these ridicule paintings that you have, Anthy." Saionji says when he entered in main room. "Certainly it was a waste of money."
The young woman with green eyes then looks at the servants who helped her and commented.
"The difference between Saionji's taste in art and mine is that I have the good taste." Anthy says observing the pictures with paintings of roses that had in the cabin, that together with the vases, they formed almost a private garden in that place. "They are fascinating. Is like to be in a dream or something."
The employee this time extends for Anthy a picture with the figures of people, that of certain form, seemed not to have much logic in the drawing, therefore the traces was distorted and times they were lost in part of the drawing.
"Which is the name of the artist?" The servant asks while Anthy came back her attention to the pictures with drawings of roses.
"Something Picasso." The young woman answers while she helped to take one of the pictures for the other side of the cabin.
"Something Picasso?" Saionji laughed while he seated in one chair. "If he depended on you, he never would be important, believes me. At least these pictures had been cheap…"
The man with green hair said while Anthy leave the main room.
"In Cherbourg, a woman called Nanami Kiryuu came on board. The history would call her The Unsinkable Nanami."
A young woman with blond long hair and dark eyes, followed bi a high man of smooth and red long hair, richly dresses, walked for the multitude of noblemen who formed the passengers of the first class of the gigantic ship.
"Finally we could embark, I would hate to have to waits all the day, my brother." The young woman said for the man with red hair who only smiled.
"Impatient as always, Nanami." Touga Kiryuu commented while one servant followed them with the luggages of the couple of brothers.
"Even if she have an young appearance, Nanami already was married, her husband found gold in some place of the west. And she and her family was what my brother and Saionji would call New-Rich. In the afternoon of the following day we were sailing for the west, leaving the coast of Ireland with nothing our front beyond the ocean."
The captain approached to his second-in-the-command, both observing the vast ocean that extended to the front of they eyes.
"Taken him for the sea, lets show his power." The captain said.
"Yes Sir" The man said before going the control cabin where after he recites the orders of the captain, in some minutes the ship started to sail in total force, tearing waters while he crossed the vast ocean.
In the bow, two figures had approached to the tip of the ship where both the sides of the hoof found themselves, Utena then stopped when she arrived in the limit of the nose of the ship while Wakaba stopping on her side. Both had looked at for low, observing the rapidity that the ship sailed while both fells the pleasant wind that shocked in they faces.
"Look Wakaba, look at that!" Utena said while she pointed to a certain direction in the sea, where far away dolphins played, following the ship. A great smile was in both the faces of the two young women's.
Utena then went up on the barrier of protection of the ship, one of her arms held one of the thick ropes while her another arm was opened, extended at the mercy of the wind. Her clothes balanced wild in her body as well as the short wires of her pink hair. Wakaba then extended her arm in definitive direction, and with a smile she said.
"Utena Look! I already can see the Statue of Liberty! Very small, of course!" Utena smirk looking at for the direction where the ship was going. Utena then she freed the ropes and inclining for front, opened both the arms to the wind, crying out.
"I am the owner of the world!" Wakaba laughed at the phrase.
"You don't look like the owner of the world Utena, you are something more noble." The other girl said while she looks at the pink-haired girl.
"Serious? What is your opinion then?" Utena asks, looking at the sea with a wide smile on her face.
"A prince!" The other girl answered without thinking.
"A prince?" Utena looked amused to her friend before looking back to the ocean with a serious face.
"Yes! A prince in a white horse comes to rescue his princess! Mainly with this look in your face! - Utena laughed.
"I am a prince, who would be my princess?" Utena asked, already knowing the reply that she would receive.
"Of course it's ME! UTENA MY LOVE!" Wakaba jumps on Utena's back, hugging the high girl with her arms around the pink-haired girl's neck and her legs around of her waist, making the tall girl fought to keep her balance to not finish falling in the sea.
"Wakaba! I will be the one who needs rescue from YOU if I fall on the sea!" Utena said after a little time, when Wakaba finally freed herself from Utena and remain in foot on her side. "I cannot be a prince, Wakaba. Girls cannot be princes. They destined would be to be princesses, aren't they?"
"Girls can be princes!" Wakaba said in a definitive tone of voice.
"How?" Utena asks looking amused to her friend.
"I don't know!" Wakaba said with a smile and Utena rolled her eyes. - But definitively a dress would not suit you, Utena!
"What I'm going to do with you, Wakaba?" Utena asked and both of them laughed while they look at the vast ocean.
