Chocolate eclairs, French Vanilla Ice Cream or Jellied Peaches, assorted fresh fruits and cheeses.

(Author's note: YES, this is an actual menu that I looked up online for 1st class on Titanic :D)

"I know, right? I don't even know what half the stuff on this menu is: What the heck is Roast Squab?" Sonny giggled, as we looked over the menu we shared.

"Do you just wanna get some ice cream?" I asked, uncertain of whether I'd want to try anything else on the menu.

"I'm with you on that one," She laughed, as we told the waiter what we wanted, and folded up the menu.

A few minutes later, the waiter came and set a dish of ice cream in front of us, along with these wafer cookie things and two spoons.

"We're supposed to share the ice cream?" Sonny asked, eyeing the single dish and two spoons.

I scooped up some ice cream in a spoon and shoved it in her mouth, much to her annoyance.

"Yep, gotta problem with that?"

She swallowed the ice cream and shrugged. "Guess not," she sighed, then a smile grew on her face.

"What are you thinking? I know that smile of yours," I asked her, curious.

"I was thinking... of doing this!" She giggled, and put a dollop of ice cream on my nose.

"Really, Sonny, really?" I asked, taking a napkin and wiping off the ice cream.

"Aww... Chad, can't you take some fun?"

"Sure I can," I defended myself, and smeared a streak of ice cream on her right cheek.

"Chad!"

"Sonny!" I mocked her, using the same whiny tone she did.

Then we started drawing on each other with the ice cream, just acting like idiots, much to the amusement of everyone else in the dining hall.

"Chad, you look hilarious," She smiled, using the china spoon as a mirror and showing me how I looked- I gasped. I had Ice cream eyebrows, a mustache, Sonny had drawn a smiley face with the ice cream on my cheek, and put more ice cream on my nose. My gaping mouth finally closed and turned into a smirk. "I could say the same for you, Munroe," She looked in her spoon and found that I had done the exact same to her.

We looked at each other once more and burst out into laughter.

I could almost feel the eyes of everyone in the dining hall staring at us.

"I think we should go wash off now," Sonny smiled, getting up off the chair.

"Yeah, me too," I smiled. Looping my arm through hers again, when I noticed Cornelius talking with another dude, and handing him bills... he was staring at Sonny... and why hadn't he came and approached us?

"Chad? is something wrong?" Sonny asked, waving her hand in front of my face.

"Everythings' fine Sonny... er... how about you go ahead to our stateroom and get cleaned up? I'll be right behind you," I told her, shooing her away.

"Why? Is something wrong?"

"No! Nothing's wrong... it's just..." My eyes darted over to Cornelius and the other guy again. "Sonny, please, just go, for me?"

I guess something in my tone must have told her this was urgent, since she smiled, and started walking towards our state room.

I looked back in the direction of where I saw Cornelius. He was gone, but the other guy was still there.

I walked over to the other guy, and pushed him up to a wall.

"What were you talking about with Cornelius?"

"Excuse me, sir, but do I know you?" He asked, then laughed, probably because I still had Ice Cream facial hair.

"Listen, just tell me what he told you,"

"I-I-can't sir,"

I reached into my pocket. Luckily, when we landed here, I guess the money in my pocket got turned into 1900's currency.

"Will this make it easier for you to tell me?" I asked, holding up a few bills.

He reached for them, and I snatched them away. "ah...ah..ah.. first tell me,"

"Very well, then, sir, Master Cornelius paid me to poison his bride to be, so he would have the fortune to himself," This guy told me, now snatching the money from my hands.

I was shocked. "But you wouldn't do that, now would you?" I asked, with a twinge of hope in my voice... and a lot of fear.

"Sir, I'm in 3rd class- I need the money... and I'd do anything... anything at all," he smirked, an evil smirk, and walked away, whistling, and fingering the bills he took from me.

Sonny came back, her hand and face no longer sticky. "Come on, Chad, Let's go get you cleaned off!" She said, cheerfully, and grabbed my hand, leading me to our stateroom.

I couldn't imagine losing her... that 3rd class idiot and that Cornelius freak were trying to kill her.


There you go! Chapter 9.
