Chapter 2// The Unsinkable Ship

Third person

Southampton, England 1912
What a wonderful day in world history. The Titanic is about to take its maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York City. It is a cheerful day, and everyone who is lucky enough to get tickets is feeling the overwhelming excitement.

Riley Matthews, a 17 year old rich girl, wasn't feeling the same excitement. She doesn't feel that all the excitement was necessary, it just looked like a regular ship to her. Her finance, Brandon, opened the door to let her out and frowned.

"You just can't be impressed, Riley. This is the most luxurious ship there is!"

She took his hand and he lifted her out of the car.

"My apologies, Brandon. It is a grand ship, it really is." She lied

Topanga, her mother, Cory, her father, and Auggie, her little brother, got out on the other side.

"It IS a grand ship!" Topanga stated.

"They say it is unsinkable." Cory remarked.

"Very." Brandon started, "Not even God himself could sink this ship!"

Excitement filled all of there eyes except Riley's, "Oh, that is completely absurd!" She retorted.

"Honey, lighten up! This is a chance of a lifetime!"

She deep sighed, knowing she was the only person feeling this way.

Brandon stuck out his hand, signaling for her to take it. She took it, knowing that things would go wrong if she didn't.

She did not want to marry this man.

"This draw is for tickets to go on the grandest ship there is!" Billy shouted, pointing at Lucas and Farkle.

"Get ready to feel my fury!" Lucas yelled.

They were sitting at a table in a bar playing poker. Lucas and Farkle were the best of friends, and they needed to win these tickets. After a couple of rounds, Lucas spoke up.

"We'd better get going, Farkle."

"Why?"

"CAUSE WE'RE GOING ON THE TITANIC BABY!" Lucas shouted, throwing down his cards. Billy threw his head down on the table. "NO!"

"YES!"

"You guys better get going," the bartender said. "The ship is bound to leave in about ten minutes, I believe."

The two boys looked at each other, and sprinted out of the door.

The Titanics bells started ringing, signaling that it was to leave any minute.

"WOOHOO! WE'RE GOING ON THE TITANIC!" Lucas shouted, running up to the loading platform, With Farkle right behind him.

The guards let them in and they made their way to the third class deck as the ship was leaving.

"BYE MOM, BYE DAD!" Lucas shouted.

"Lucas, your parents aren't even here." Farkle stated.

"I know, but it's fun."

Farkle joined in and they were waving at random people, as the ship took off.

When they couldn't see the land anymore, they stopped waving and stepped away from the railing.

"Well Farkle, this is it. This is the day we become men!" Lucas said, throwing his hands in the air.

"Woo!" Farkle shouted.
