Authors note: Hey, thanks for reading! I know that some details in my story aren't going to be accurate, but I've decided to change some thing's to go with my plot. The ending of this story will be different to the film. This is just to let you know, hope you enjoy!

I skipped holding daddy's hand while we went to go outside. The weather was really good, it looked like a painting, I bet Jack would like to draw the scenery. I was really excited, I felt like I could fly, I was really happy. Me and daddy were going to see the dolphins, I've wanted to see them for ages now, so I'm happy that we're finally gonna see them!

Maybe they'll jump out of the water, I hope they do, they look beautiful when they do that. Jack was going to draw me later to, though me and daddy don't know when. He was really nice, so is Fabrizo. I hope they come outside soon, then me and Jack can see the dolphins together. We walked out onto the deck, and into the brilliant sunlight. It was really beautiful when we stepped out, the sun shining brightly onto the ship, making the deck look even more beautiful, and it coated the sea with tiny glittering diamonds, moving in the waves.

I could hear sea gulls calling to each other in the sky, I looked up at them, I don't really like sea gulls, when me and daddy and mommy went to the beach once, they stole daddy's ice cream. It was funny then, we all laughed, but they're scary when the dive down. These one's stayed in the sky, so they're fine. As soon as I stepped outside the wind caught my hair, as it always does. It wasn't cold, just a cool breeze, it made strands of hair fly and my dress hem flutter too.

It's really annoying when my hair fly's around, it flew around my head and a bit fell in front of my face, "Daddy will we see the dolph- eww!" A piece of hair got caught in my mouth! It's happened before I hate it when that happens. I pulled it and pushed it away from my face, daddy said before that maybe I should get it cut a bit, but I'll never cut my hair, I like it long, I wanna grow it as long as the lady I saw this morning, I wish I had her hair colour....

"Hahahaha! Your hair's getting the better of ya" I heard Tommy say, I looked up and he was there, daddy was laughing too. I smiled, it's annoying when my hair does that, but I could see the funny side. "You need a hat don't ya" Tommy said, that reminded me.. "Cora's got a hat, your red one remember."

"Yeah, I'll go get it" I turned away from the wind and ran back inside, I could still hear the sea gulls, as if they were calling me to come back. My hair relaxed as soon as I got inside, I brushed it away from my face and walked towards the hall. I stopped at the hall doors and peered in, to see if Jack was still there. I pretended I was on a spy mission, like I did when I ran to give Jack and Fabrizo the bread. I didn't want him to see me, I just wanted to see if he was still there. I scanned the room quickly and looked to his bench, he was still there! He was talking to Fabrizo, I couldn't make out what they were saying though, but it was made me smile just to see him. He looked up in my direction, Oh no, I've been spotted! I quickly went back behind the doors, did he see me? He might have done, but only for a second.

I just wanted to see if he was still there, I hope he comes outside soon. I walked back to the corridor, to get my hat. It was red, and looked a bit like one of those French hats. My mommy gave it me before we came to Southampton, a piece of her to take with me, she said, even though she'd always be with me in my heart. I can't wait to see mommy, I'd tell her about everything in Southampton, when me and daddy and aunt Millie went to the farm, when the Christmas tree kept falling down and it took us an hour to get it to stay up! I don't think I'll tell her about when some men threw stones at me, and daddy beat them up, that'll upset her, and I don't want to make her upset. I want us all to be happy, like we used to be before she got ill. And we will be, because she's all better now. That's what the doctors say anyway... I hope she really is.

"Cora." I jumped then, snapped out of my daydream, that keeps happening to me. I knew who's voice it was... I turned around, it was Jack! I smiled, there's something about him that makes me wanna smile. I was a bit embarrassed though, maybe he saw me peering through in the hall...

"HI, where's Fabrizo?" He wasn't with him.

"He's gone outside, I think he's with your dad" He walked towards me as he talked until he was near enough to me.

"Are you alright? Where's your dad?" He got down so that he was at my level. He looked worried about me, I didn't want him to worry, but I liked the fact that he cared, I don't think that's bad of me.

"I'm fine, I'm getting my hat cos of the wind" I pulled a bit of my hair up and let it fall, he laughed when he knew what I meant.

"The wind likes your hair then. No wonder it does, you've got beautiful hair" He took a few locks of it and played with them, I smiled and giggled at that.

"I like your hair" I touched a bit of it, he laughed, it was soft.

"I bet your hats pretty too, am I right/" He asked with a grin on his face, I grinned too

"Come see" I took his hand and pulled him up so that he was standing again, and pulled him to where are room was, he laughed as I pulled. I didn't think about it, I just did it, if I thought about it I would have gotten to shy. His hands were soft, yet firm and hard skinned in some parts. He cut his nails back really far.

"Don't your nails hurt?" I asked, I think it would hurt

"No, I used to bit them when I was a kid, don't you do that though" I He pretended to tell me off, I giggled at that. We finally got to my room. I had to let go of his hand, though I didn't want to, and went into my room. I'd put my hat on top of the wardrobe, I was on top bunk so I could get to it easily. Jack stayed at the door and watched me climb up the ladder, I think that he didn't want to be rude.

"You can come in you know." He laughed and sat on the end of the bottom bunk, daddy's bed. I climbed up onto my bed and got my hat, the material felt nice, and red was my favourite colour, even more now, because of the lady with the red hair.

"It's not a big hat, like the one's rich people ware, but it's nice, and warm." I climbed down the ladder and sat next to him, I held it out so he could take it and see it better. He took it and felt the material, like he was studying it, then he smiled. "It's nice, I bet it looks good on you." He put it on my head, I laughed at that, "I was right" and then he smiled too. "It stops the wind from catching it." I explained as I got up " I like hats, one really pretty lady was wearing one at Southampton, she had red hair, like my hat." Jack smiled " Well I'll bet her hat wasn't as good as yours" I thought it was better, but I liked my hat, and I really liked jack, so I agreed. I took his hand again, "Come on, let's go outside!" He laughed and we both went outside, he told me he liked dolphins to, and that he'll draw me soon. We'll go see the dolphins together......
