Muriel laughed loud as she sat with Tommy in the galley. The children were sitting with Ita and Cormick who were sitting with them. Cormick had been drinking as usual and was completely drunk as he glared at Tommy. The two men were currently in the middle of an arm wrestling match.

"Go, Tommy!" Muriel cheered.

The place was very rowdy that night with the people drinking and dancing to the loud music the band was playing. Muriel smiled as she saw Fabrizio dancing with Helga, a girl he met earlier today. The children were clapping along with the music.

"Cormick!" Ita cheered as she watched the men arm wrestle.

It really was a battle of strength. Both men were struggling to push the other's arm down. Tommy focused all his energy on trying to beat Cormick as he held a cigarette firmly in his lips. Muriel laughed as she picked up a glass of beer. She had wanted to try it for a while, now there was nobody to stop her. She smirked as she took a sip.

"What's going on here?"

Muriel gasped and coughed as the drink went down the wrong way. She turned and smiled to see Jack.

"Oh, hello Jack", she said. "You startled me."

Her eyes widened as he looked behind him to see that woman from first class. How did she get down here?

"Muriel, this is Rose", Jack said. "Rose, Muriel."

"Hello…" Muriel said almost afraid that she could offend her in anyway.

The first class passengers had the ship's officers on their side. If they did anything wrong, they could get the master at arms to place them under arrest. Rose smiled sweetly at her as she sat down.

"Uncle Jack!"

Cora, the little girl Jack had drawn the other day smiled as she took Jack's hands. He smiled as he started dancing with her.

"What brings you down here?" Muriel asked.

"Are you kidding?" Rose asked. "This is a lot more fun than sitting in first class!"

Rose picked up a glass of beer smiling as she started to drink and watch Jack dance with the little girl. Muriel turned back to watch Tommy and Cormick still going at it. She was surprised that Tommy was this strong. She never knew someone lasting this long against her father. She smiled and shook her head as she picked up her glass, taking a drink.

Three drinks later between Muriel and Rose, Muriel was laughing as she continued to watch Tommy and Cormick. They had been at this for minutes. Neither man refused to back down. Jack and Rose danced around the galley and had stopped for a break. Finally one arm came down. Cormick laughed as he brought Tommy's arm down, spilling the beer around them.

"Aw, Tommy…" Muriel moaned at the loss.

"Come on!" he challenged. "Two out of three! Two out of three!"

"So", Rose said interrupting as she pulled Tommy's cigarette from his lips. "You think you're big tough men? Let's see you do this?"

She took a drag from the cigarette before giving Jack the extra-long end of her dress. Everyone looked down as she began to stand on her toes, their eyes widening as she went on to stand on the very tip of her toes.

"Wow!" the children gasped as they looked at her.

Rose stood on her toes for a good three seconds before she came down in pain, impressing practically everyone who was watching.

"Jesus, Mary and Joseph!" Ita gasped as she continued watching Rose.

No one there had ever seen a woman do that before. The band started up again as they played a new song. Everyone who was dancing held hands, creating a long line of dancers. Muriel smiled as she took Jack's hand.

"Tommy, come on!" she said grabbing his hand.

She smiled as she hand onto his hand as the line swerved around the galley, dancing late into the night.
