Ella pulled up to the ship of dreams and walked out. She saw her brother in his uniform. She walked up to him and he embraced her in a hug

"So this is the ship that's unsinkable Willy" she asked him while she looked at him.

Ella was about 5"2. She had Will's blue eyes and the same brown hair hers just is extra long.

"Yes Ella it is" he said as he snapped his fingers and ordered two Stewart's to take her two trunks up to her room

Since Will being a first officer he got Ella a first class room even though it didn't matter to her.

Will put his arm out and she grabbed it and he walked her up the ramp to the ship were the captain was waiting. He saw Ella and went up and kissed her hand and said

"It's wonderful to have you on the ship miss Murdoch"

She smiled and said "thank you capt Smith"

He smiled and said "ill see you two at dinner" he walked away.

Will escorted Ella to her room and left to help get everyone on. Board. Will wanted to get Ella on the ship before it got really crowded. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The ship is well under way and Ella decided to walk around the ship. 

She dressed in her pink dress and walked out of her room and around the deck

She dressed in her pink dress and walked out of her room and around the deck. She was walking while looking out toward the sea. She always loved the sea like her brother.

She bumped into someone and she fell down

"Oh I'm so sorry love" a man that she noticed has a Welsh accent.

She looked up and saw a officer. She could tell he was a 5th officer
Will taught her that the higher the number the more strips you have on your sleeve.

The man helped her up and said "it's my fault I wasn't watching where I was going I'm sorry"

The guy smiled and kissed her hand "I'm 5th officer Harold Lowe but you can call me Harry"

Ella smiled and said "I'm Ella Murdoch"

Harry's eyes widen and said "are you related to Will Murdoch"

She nodded her head and said "he's my brother "

He smiled and said "you guys look alike"

She smiled and looked down and said "that's what they all say" he laughed and said "well I better get going back to my rounds... Can I escort you to dinner miss Ella"

She smiled and blushed and said "of course Mr Lowe "

He smiled and walked away to continue his rounds

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ella got ready for dinner. (The dress at the top of the page).

She was finishing her last touches of makeup when there was a knock on the door. She went and opened the door and saw Harry in a suit and a bow tie.  He lifted Ella hand and kissed it while staring In her blue eyes.

"Shall we go love?" He asked as he stuck his arm out. She grabbed her arm and said "your Welsh" he chuckled lightly and said "indeed and your Scottish"

She smiled and they walked down the main staircase and saw Ruth, Cal, Rose and Jack.

"Hello ladies, gentleman" Ella said as she approched them

"Is that Ella Murdoch I see" Cal said as he approched her

"Hello Cal" Ella said, he kissed her hand and said "it's lovely to see you"

The rest gave Cal and Ella a confused look

"We went to the same school together when he came over to Scotland" Ella said

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everyone was eating dinner and having nice conversations. After eating all the men execpt Harry got up and went to the smoke room.

Harry got up and said "join me on a walk love" he held his hand out and she grabbed it and they walked out and we're walking around the deck.

"It's a peaceful night" Ella said as she looked at the water

"Aye" he replied. He was studying Ella's features. She was beautiful in his definition. He noticed her shiver so he took off his suit jacket and put it on her.

"Won't you get cold?" She asked looking at him. He shook his head

"I'll be fine love" he said

They were walking toward the starboard side of the ship when they ran into Will. He gave them a confused look

"What are you guys doing?" He asked glaring at his little sister.

"Oh mr Lowe escorted me to dinner and now we're just walking around. No need to get angry Willy" she said. Will's facial expressions soften when he heard her call him 'Willy'. Whenever Will would get angry she would cuddle up to him and say sweet things to him like 'it will be ok Willy i promise'

He looked at Lowe and said "Harry I would like to speak to my sister alone please"

Ella and Harry looked at each other and Ella nodded her head slightly and gave Harry back his jacket. He walked off to get ready for his rounds.

"What the hell Ella" Will snapped at her

"What do you mean by that Will i didn't do anything wrong" Ella said back

"It hasn't been 24 hours and you already fell in love" Will said as he pulled Ella to sit down.

"Will that absurd I'm not in love. He was just being nice to me" Ella said to Will

Will rolled his eyes and said "I saw your eyes Ella. Your in love with him" Ella looked down and shuddered a little. Will jumped into action when he saw her shudder and took off his officer coat and put it on her

"Listen El.. i wanna let you know that I know your grown and if you and Harry start a relationship I won't stop it. But your my little sister so yeah I may be mad that you fancy my best friend but i love you and i want you to be happy so if he makes you happy than I'll let it be" Will said as he took his hat off and ran his fingers through his hair. Before he could put his hat back Ella took it and grabbed Will's shoulder and layed his head across her lap and ran her fingers through his hair. It became a habit when they were little. When she had a bad dream or if it was thunderstorming outside she would climb in bed with Will and just run her fingers through his hair to let him know she was there and he would usually turn around and pull her closer to him.

"Look at the stars Willy" Ella said

The two siblings spend the rest of the time they had together before Will went back to do his rounds looking at the stars.
