"Wow" she said. "Is this real" she continues. "Yes Hannah you bet it is" Georgia says. "Is it true that she is unsinkable?" Asks Alice. I smile. "It is true enough. In fact God himself cannot sink this ship" I say. My butler comes out and opens the door for me. "Thanks Stanley" I say as I get out the car. He helps the other girls get out of the car. I look around me. I see hundreds upon hundreds of people. Cheering, Waving their hats and waving at the ship. I take a step back...there she is. "Titanic" I say under my breath.

I turn around and I see Alice and Georgia standing outside the car. Hannah is just getting out the car. They walk up to me. "Do you have the boarding passes?" Alice asks me. I nod my head. "Of coarse" I have to shout over all the cheering.

I reach into my back pocket. I pull out for boarding passes to first class. "See. Tye, Hannah, Georgia and Alice" I say.

Wow just one year ago I would never have been able to afford these tickets to first class. Well my farther hit the jackpot in the gold mine. But sadly he passed away and left his money to his only son...me

"Come on already lets go" Alice says. I turn back around to face the ship. It amazes me every time how big she is.

We are traveling to New York because now that I have a lot of money I want to start a new life in a new place. So a few of my friends just wanted to tag along. I saw the maiden voyage of the Titanic was going to New York so I decided to take the opportunity.

We make our way through the crowd of cheering people. We make our way to the ramp. There is a man standing at the bottom waiting for us to hand in out passes. I hand them to him. He smiles and let's us board. I start climbing the ramp. The ship is getting closer and and closer. I look behind me. I can see that Georgia and Hannah are following but we left Alice to hand in our luggage to the man so they can take it on board. I smile. It gives me more time to observe the ship and take it all in. Alice catches up with us and we are at the end of the ramp to first class.

There is one of the ships crew there to greet us. "Hello sir. Welcome to Titanic" he says to me. "Thank you" I say as I step on board. I see the first class area. It's huge and grand.

I watch all of the girls step onto the ship as well. "Forgetting something?" Alice says as she dangles the stateroom keys in front of us. I take one from her. "Ok we are in door number 23" Hannah says as she looks at her key. "Ok let's try to find our way then" says Georgia. We leave the mid ship and we enter the halls where the staterooms are. Wow it's like a maze. 

We head down the long hallways. We go left and right and every wich way. "19, 20, 21, 12" I say. "Hold on how did we get to 12?" Asks Georgia. I groan and backtrack my movement. "Hurry up the ship is about to leave soon and I don't want to miss it" Says Hannah. "Alright alright" I say. I must have taken a wrong turn. "21, 22, 23. HERE!" I say. I open the door.

I step inside. I see that we have a giant stateroom with three interconnecting rooms. So technically we all get our own room with one bathroom we all share. But my was it grand. We had carpet, Soothing lights and a private promenade deck or a balcony.

We all dump our stuff on one of the beds. "Come on lets go!" Georgia says. We rush out the room and we work our way through the maze of corridors again. But this time we make it out easily. We arrive just outside the deck. I open the door to outside. There on the deck where hundreds of passengers standing at the bars. Waving shouting. I race to be one of them. The girls follow behind me. I look down below...All the people are so small. So I feel so big...Because I am on the biggest ship in the world. I stand on one of the bars. Then pure happiness over comes me. I cheer I shout. The girls join me. Then we heard it. It was a sound we have never heard before but we all knew what it was. The ships horn. We started to pull away from the dock. The roar of cheers and shouts got louder as the magnificent ship left the dock...Then it hit me...We were on...The ship of dreams
