"You guys done packing?!" Ella yelled across the room. "Come on! We gotta go!" "Five, do you have the tickets?" Dolores asked. I waved the tickets in return . Dolores brought some outfits she made last night so we could all fit in that time period.
We walked to the briefcase room. "Hey, aren't you guys excited? We're literally going on a voyage on the legendary Titanic ship!" "Mission," Ella corrected. "Don't be a buzzkill Ella, it's close enough. I'm going to be in my childhood dream in just a few minutes! How cool is that?" Dolores squealed.
I smiled to myself. I'm happy that Dolores was happy. We both knew that we've been through a lot, and I missed her smile. Plus, her fangirling IS pretty cute.
"Staff ID?" the briefcase handler Gloria asked. "AA198910015*," I replied. After checking the number tags, she handed us a black leather briefcase. Dolores and the Davis siblings grabbed onto the briefcase handle, while I activated it. In a flash, we landed in Southampton, England in April, 1912.
I quickly got on the enormous ship. "Ticket," a sailor (who probably had said the same word for 1000 times) said in a dull tone. I gave the four tickets to him and a receipt and two keys were handed to me.
I glanced at the receipt. "Two Second Class Bedrooms" was written at the top. "Well that's not too bad, I guess," Dolores peeked at the receipt. I hummed un agreement.
With a turn of the key, I unlocked the door. The room looked... ordinary. Like a normal hotel room. It had two beds, and a lamp and desk between them. There was a wardrobe and a small bookshelf with a few books in it. Some classic stories like A Christmas Carol. I put my Stephen King books in there to make myself comfortable. Oh yeah, not to mention, there was also a tiny-ass toilet.
The girls' room looked the same as ours, only a little bigger. After putting the briefcase inside the bookshelf, we decided to walk around the titanic to familiarize ourselves before the assassination.
"Woah look at the food over here..." Ella said with amazement. "Well I can buy that for you little sister, or anything you want to eat," Josh replied. "Speaking of which, you brought enough money for all our meals, right Josh? I mean, you're the one who's bringing the cash," Dolores asked. "Don't worry, I added $2000 to my credit card yesterday. We can have a literal feast!" He exclaimed.
We all stared at him in shock. "What? Is it not enough?"the idiot asked. "You decided to pay with your credit card on a ship in 1910?!" I screamed at him. He thought for a second before saying,
"Oh boy".

Dolores' POV
After Josh made that rookie mistake that may starve us to death, he still had the nerve to call us to sit on one of the benches in the ship to discuss what to do.
Ella got her hands tied up (don't ask me what happened before, she was close to murder her own brother) and she was growling like a crazy animal. Five wasn't exactly amused either. He clenched his jaw, and shot Josh a glare that could probably send him 50 feet under. He was also fidgeting with a pen,and tried to keep calm before he could torture Josh. I immediately took a seat next to Josh so he couldn't be sitting next to two soon-to-be murderers.
"So um..." Josh tried to break the silence. He took a slight glance at Five and Ella and gulped, a guilty look plastered on his face. Josh immediately looked down, avoiding eye contact with the two. Another awkward silence.
"This is so painfully awkward, I'm out," I stood up. Josh gave me a pleading face but I ignored him. He started this mess, so it is his job to clean it up.
I walked to the deck of the ship. There were kids playing ball games, and old couples chatting, recalling the old(er) days. A group of musicians were playing a piece, and a cool breeze slightly touched my cheeks. I inhaled, closing my eyes. A perfect ambience to relax and toss away all my thoughts and the fact that we may starve to death.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a young girl trying to jump off the ship from a distance. Another boy was chasing after her, as the young girl climbed on the bow of the ship, giggling.
"Ay, kid! Get down here!!" I yelled, while running towards her before she could really get hurt. "Yeah, Margaret! Get off ! It's dangerous!" Another girl around the same age as her called out.
"Dolores?"a familiar voice asked. I turned to see Five. "Grab the boy!" I shouted, before the boy also decided to jump off the ship with the girl. He immediately wrapped his arms around the boy, who kept kicking to free himself, while I picked the girl up to return her to safety.
"Hey! Those are my children! Help! Kidnappers!" A thin woman with a British accent, and who came out of nowhere, screeched, while pointing at us.
Well, we're screwed.
A/N:
*AA198910015: AA= Advanced Assassin; 198910015= 1st October 1989= the birth date; 5= an extra number to avoid confusion because Five and Dolores have similar ID numbers.
The ending may be a little confusing so feel free to ask. :)
FYI, this is how Five and Ella glared at Josh:
