Theme Song: "An Irish Party In Third Class"—Titanic Soundtrack

~Jack & Rose~

Jack and Rose had left off the Carpathia and were looking all around. They didn't have a ride and they didn't know how they were going to get to Manor Lane.

Rose: Well, everyone has family here. Maybe we could find a driver and pay him to take us to Manor Lane.

Jack: Yeah but that money is supposed to be for the house. (sighs and looks all around) Let me see and think for a moment.

Theme Song: "Emperor Waltz" –Titanic Soundtrack

As the driver for Cal and Cecily were about to pull off, Cecily saw Jack and Rose looking around for something but was seeming to look lost.

Cecily: Cal, look, there's Rose and Jack.

Cal glanced over at them briefly and went back to looking straight ahead.

Cal: (coldly) So?

Cecily: They look like they need a ride, can we take them as well?

Cal looked at Cecily and laughed.

Cal: Absolutely NOT…we're off the ship now, my generosity towards them is over.

Cecily: (looked at Cal with pleading eyes) Please Cal, they don't have the luxury you have to have a driver here. You wouldn't do this, even for me?

Cal looked at Cecily as she gave pleading eyes that Cal couldn't say no to.

Cal: (sighs and frowns a bit) I don't know why you care anyway. You don't even know them.

Cecily: Well I sort of like Rose, we talked for a while yesterday on the ship and she's great. I think we may become friends.

Cal: (laughed) You will NOT become friends with those of her stature, dear.

Cecily: (raises an eyebrow at him) You will NOT presume to tell me who I will be friends with. I'm not Rose, I will NOT be ordered around.

Cal gave her one of his angered, stern looks, and she looked him directly back in the eyes without fear, as if challenging him. Cal found this unbelievable; no woman had ever challenged him without fear as she seemed to have been doing at that moment. Cal looked away and nodded with a brief smile.

Cal: Alright, Cecily—for now. Driver! Stop in front of those two—specimen's there. (points to Jack and Rose)

Driver: Yes Mr. Hockley.

The driver pulled up right in front of Jack and Rose.

Jack saw the car as it pulled up.

Jack: Whoa, Rose (pushes her back as the car pulls up in front of Rose, barely missing her feet) Who's this?

Rose: (says with a eyebrow raised) Its Cal. Cal?

Cal opened the door to the car and got out and leaned up against it with his hands clasped together in front of him, just staring at Jack and Rose with an eyebrow raised.

Cal: Where are you two traveling to?

Jack: (looks at Rose as if wondering whether he should tell Cal) Um, to Manor Lane. There's a house there for rent, for cheap. We're planning on going there and renting it out and staying there once we talk to the owner.

Cal raised BOTH eyebrows and smiled with a look of surprise. The same look of surprise he had on when Cal saw Jack in a dressy suit for when he was invited to dinner on the Titanic by him.

Cal: (smiles) MANOR LANE? (laughs) That's high class society, are you sure you'll fit in over there Dawson? Only high class live in that section.

Rose immediately put on a insulted look. She saw he STILL hadn't changed from being a pompous, snobbish man.

Jack clenched his teeth and tried hard not to say what he REALLY wanted to.

Jack: I'm sure we will, Cal. As I remember, I fit in perfectly when you invited me to dinner on the Titanic. (smiled)

Cal blinked heavily and tried to hide his disgust for Jack and faked a smile.

Cal: Well, hop in Dawson and Rose, we're going to Manor Lane and we'll give you a ride.

Rose: We're?

Cal: Cecily and I, we are actually in Manor Lane as well. Although our home is probably more exquisite.

Rose knew what Cal was doing, he brought up Cecily to make her jealous, it was working.

Jack: Really? (looked surprise) You're living in Manor Lane too?

Cal: (smiles) Yes. So hop in you too, time is precious. (laughs)

Jack looked at Rose with a brief smile.

Jack: Great, this should be fun. (Rose laughed) Thanks Cal, we appreciate it.

Jack and Rose got in the car and sat across from Cecily and Cal. When Rose saw Cecily, she hugged her.

Rose: (smiled) Cecily, Hi!

Cecily: Hi Rose, I told Cal to pick you two up. I saw you two didn't have a driver.

Jack: (smiled) Thank you Cecily.

Rose: Yes I knew it couldn't have been Cal's idea. (Cecily laughed)

Cal got in the car and sat next to Cecily, as the car drove on. Cal tried not to look at Rose, she was still incredibly beautiful to him—more beautiful than Cecily even.

Cal: So, what's the address in Manor Lane?

Jack: 1233 Manor Lane.

Cal stared at Jack with a blank expression, blinking heavily.

Cal: 1233?

Rose: Yes.

Cal: 1233 MANOR LANE? 1233?

Jack: Yeah Cal, why?

Cal looked down and put on a frustrated look but tried to regain his composure.

Cal: Our house is 1234, we'd be right next door to each other.

Cecily: What! Really! (laughs)

Jack and Rose and Cal looked wide-eyed with shock. The man Rose wanted to get away from so she could be with Jack, she'd now be living RIGHT next door to.

TO BE CONTINUED…..

Will finish this week later, I promise!
