A/N: Thank you to everyone for the reviews, I ask that you please keep reviewing, this story DOES get even better, because eventually this story will merge with my other story: "Jack & Rose: A Tragic Love Story" - in a TRAGIC way.

Theme Song: "Moonlight Sonata" ~ Beethoven {Throughout Entire Chapter}

Jack and Rose had showed up at Cal and Cecily's for dinner. Rose was consistently worried. She didn't know what Cal was up to, but she knew for him to be as nice as he was, he was up to something. Jack knocked on the door and Cecily answered. She smiled and Rose smiled. Cecily hugged Rose.

Cecily: Rose! I was starting to wonder when I'd see you since you and Jack moved next door.

Rose: Oh Jack and I have been so busy trying to find work. How are you—and—Cal?

Cecily nodded as she ushered Jack and Rose in the living room.

Cecily: I'm great, Cal was great, until a few minutes ago—he just turned silent on me.

Rose: (turned her head to the side and raised an eyebrow) Hmm, really?

Jack: Is he sick or something? I saw him earlier when I asked if Rose and I could—um-could come over for dinner and he was out of breath and perspiring.

Cecily: (laughed) Oh well that was—(laughs) we were—well, never mind. No, he's not sick, at least I don't think so. Oh well, I'll let you two see for yourselves, he's in the dining room.

Cecily lead Jack and Rose towards the dining room.

Cal sat at the dining room table, in silence, a bit depressed, depressed over the dream he had after he had earlier. He dreamed of being back on the Titanic one second, and seeing Jack and Rose and Cecily and himself being submerged DEEP in the Atlantic Ocean the next, all of them were drowning with no one to help them, and he saw himself die as Jack and Rose and Cecily were saved, but he drowned. He drowned in the freezing, icy waters and died. The deeper Cal thought on the dream, he felt his eyes burning with tears, tears that were streaming, When Jack, Rose and Cecily walked in, he didn't even notice it.

Cecily: Cal, dear, did you hear me? Jack and Rose have arrived.

Cal looked up and Rose and Jack saw the additional tears that were clouding his eyes.

Jack: Cal, Cal are you alright?

Cal blinked heavily and looked down quickly and wiped his eyes and faked a prideful laugh.

Cal: Yes I'm fine, why do you keep asking me that Dawson, you're starting to remind me of my father—asking if I'm fine every time you see me. (says jokingly) YES papa, I'm fine. (laughs)

Jack: Joke if you want, Cal. I was just asking, You were the one who tried to commit suicide on the Titanic.

Jack laughed as he and Rose sat at the table across from Cal and Cecily. Rose knew Cal longer than both Cecily and Jack did, she KNEW something was wrong with Cal. She kept staring at Cal, basically because he had the same expression he had when he found something was going horribly wrong in his life. Rose had only seen the look on him once before—when his mother passed.

Cecily: (smiles) Well, since everyone is here, I'll bring out drinks, excuse me.

Cecily left the room to go into the kitchen, and Cal took notice of Rose staring at him.

Cal: Rose, you're staring at me more now that we're apart than when we were together. (scoffs loudly and smiles) Change of heart with Dawson, there?

Jack: (smiles) Not a chance, Cal.

Rose: (serious expression) No, Cal, its just that I know you, and I know you're full of complete bullshit when you say you're fine.

Jack looked at Rose with wide eyes of surprise.

Jack: ROSE.

Cecily heard Jack, just as she walked out with drinks and started pouring drinks for everyone, she sat down and looked at Rose with a confused stare.

Cal looked at Rose, in her eyes, he knew he couldn't lie again and say that he was fine because Rose would pick up on it. She knew him that well—even if she wasn't in love with him anymore.

Cal looked down and nodded with a eyebrow raised.

Cal: She's right. Um—earlier, I had a dream, if you will, You, Dawson, and Rose and Cecily and I, we were on the Titanic, one second in the dream and the next second, we were in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, trying not to drown. We—(laughs briefly) we were actually in the freezing waters—all of us, trying not to drown and then—(stops and swallows hard) then all of you (looks up at Cecily, Rose and then Jack) all of you were saved but I—I died. I died in the water. (shrugs and shakes his head) and the dream was over.

Rose blinked heavily while staring at Cal with a serious, blank expression. Jack sat up further erect in his chair and smiled briefly.

Jack: Whew! That's a real mood killer, there Cal. (laughs)

Rose: (looks at Jack) This isn't funny, Jack.

Jack looked at Rose and smiled.

Jack: What? (laughs) Oh, Rose its not going to happen. We all made it off the Titanic, remember? We're fine. We're not dying—none of us are dying, not now and probably not for a long time. We were all saved for a reason—what that reason is, I don't know yet.

Cal: What—what if we were saved because it wasn't meant for us to die on Titanic, but somewhere else—at some other time, what if my dream is some sort of warning? How will I inherit my father's millions then?

Rose: Money is all you care about, isn't it Cal?

Cal: No, Rose, money and prestige, you were with me long enough, you should know that by now.

Rose scoffs and shakes her head.

Jack: (laughs) Look, there is no other reason that we were saved, other than because we are all good people and God or—somebody in the big sky above just wanted us to live. Cal, your dream is just a horrible side effect of seeing the Titanic sink. We're fine—we'll ALL BE fine, ok?

Cecily: (smiles and nods) I agree with Jack, we're fine and we'll be fine. Cal, it really was just a horrible flashback or something.

Cal looked at Jack with an eyebrow raised.

Cal: You know, you must really care about me or something, Dawson, this is the third compliment you've given me in the time you've been around me.

Cecily bursts into laughter and Cal laughs as well.

Jack: (smiles) So what if I do? I don't think you're all that tough as mean as you're trying to portray yourself to be, Cal, that's why. Whether you like it or not, you and I are going to be friends, why? (shrugs and smiles) Because, well Rose knows the story of a friend I used to have who was just like you, but—yeah Cal, I care, so do something stupid like trying to kill yourself again and I'll kick your ass.

Cecily and Jack laugh. Cal looked down and scoffed and smiled and slowly nodded.

Cal: (sighs) Oh Dawson, you are very annoying if not completely pestering.

Conversation continued among Cecily, Jack and Cal but Rose sat there, staring out into space, her mind going faster than a Marc train. Cal's dream had her wondering, what WAS the reason they were saved? She had even heard that her mother, Ruth committed suicide, just days after boarding the Carpathia—Ruth thinking Rose had died, and Cal keeping his word to Rose, he'd keep it that way if and when he saw and talked to Ruth. Others—so many others had died, but THEY lived, was there a REAL reason behind it? Was Cal's dream a warning for them? Rose didn't want to become paranoid but his telling of his dream did put a chill down her spine. She tried to put the worry in the back of her mind, but she could still feel it back there in her mind, creeping….floating around like a eerie, horrific ball of worry…
