"MARLIE!!"

"CHARTHA!!!"

"MARLIEEEEEE!"

"Shut up."

"CHARTHA IS WAY BETTER!"

"WHO SAYS?"

"ME!"

"...shut up."

Fenestra strolled over and lay curled up in her corner, away from the chaos of World War III taking place in the lobby that fine morning. Cadence was leaning nearby on the wall, uninterested and ignored after various attempts of "joining in". Hawthorne, after being yelled at to pick a side, decided to be a "peacemaker" and tried joining the two sides, but to no avail. He now sat on the concierge desk, deep in thought. Charlie and Martha were off to the side, blushing as they silently begged for all this to stop, but at the same time wondering how on earth this was going to be resolved.

The two teams faced each other in the centre of the lobby, Team Marlie, with Jupiter, Frank and Dame Chanda versus Team Chartha, with Morrigan, Kedgeree and Jack. All of them stood shoulder-to-shoulder, leering at their enemy.

"How is Chartha 'way better?'" Morrigan questioned Jupiter, a smile playing upon her lips.

"Because...I just think it is! And anyway, at least it's not 'Marlie', I mean, what is a 'Marlie?'" Jupiter replied.

"A ship name, genius!" spat Jack glaring at his Uncle.

"Who would name their ship 'Marlie', I'd name mine 'Buoyancé' or 'The Codfather,'" Frank breathed to himself, but still everyone heard him.

Dame Chanda turned to Frank. "You IDIOT! He meant a ship, like the two names of a couple merged together."

"I'm on your side!" he cried, exasperated.

"And what have I done to deserve such a thing?" she muttered drolly under her breath. She turned back to the opposing team. "Marlie sounds way better than Chartha; it sounds more pleasant and somehow reminds me of Juvela..."

"Nobody asked!" called Fen from her corner. Dame Chanda glared at her."Is that why you picked Marlie? Look here, Marlie's an actual name, and that's why it's more...pleasant," Kedgeree explained smartly.

"And Chartha sounds...bleh," said Jack pretending to belch.

"You-!!!"

"Everyone, please, CALM YOURSELVES!" cried Martha stepping quickly between the two. She looked pleadingly at Charlie, who followed almost at once with little hesitation. Jack and Dame Chanda continued to glare but looked wearily at Martha after one last venomous look from each other.

"I really don't care about our ship name– "she started.

"YOU SHOULD!"

"CHARTHA!"

"SEAS THE DAY!!"

"IDIOT! YOU'RE ON TEAM CHARTHA, FRANK!"

"MARLIE WOOO!"

"SEAS THE DAY!!!"

"Will you please listen!" she cried. She took a deep breath and sighed, there were tears silently falling down her face. She took Charlie's hands within her own and gave a watery smile whilst looking up at him. "I don't care if it's Chartha or Marlie or- or Frank's crazy boat names," she looked around and gave a soft chuckle. "Actually, I take that back; I don't want to be called Unsinkable II or anything..."

"The point is," Charlie continued for her (Martha looked affectionately up at him), "we were talking while you were all babbling on and we decided it isn't worth breaking up the Deucalion Family just over a name."

The two of them looked around at the two teams, staring at them. Martha blushed and Charlie shifted uncomfortably.

"But-" Jack began.

"It's not worth it," replied Charlie tartly. They looked around at them all again. They were looking ashamed of themselves. "Well, now all that's sorted..." he began walking away with Martha, but a sudden cry made him start and spin around.

"What the-"

"WHO CARES WHAT YOU THINK!"

"THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU!!"

"It's my name–"

"ALL THIS HAS TO DO WITH IS CHARTHA OR MARLIE!"

"NEITHER OF YOU GOING TO SETTLE THIS? FINE, THEN WE WILL!!"

"CHARTHA!"

"MARLIE!"

"CHARTHA!!"

"MARLIE!!"

"CHARTHAAAAAAAAA!!!"

"MARLIEEEEEE!!!"

"STOP IT BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR VOICE!"

"WHY DIDN'T SHE SAY UNSINKABLE I!?" Dame Chanda smacked Frank.

"WOMAN, WHY?!"

"Guys." It was Hawthorne. Everyone looked at him apprehendingly. "I think it should be Charmarlietha."

Nobody fought over the ship name, after that, not even Frank.




Frank stole these boat names from this website, like he did with the tissues: https://www.housebeautiful.com/lifestyle/g3630/funny-boat-names/(I don't know if he dry-cleaned them though)

A/N: Sorry for the slow update. School started and with that came assignments and etc. We got some ideas, but we're having trouble writing them, but we're trying and...yeah. Anyway, hope you enjoyed!! :D
