"It doesn't look any bigger than the other ships." Willow said as she looked at the new ship everyone had been talking about. They called it "Titanic." They claimed it was 'Unsinkable.' Willow had a bad feeling about the ship. Her fiance took her hand and led her to the doorway. "Darling, you don't understand! This is one of the grantest ships ever! It is unsinkable. God himself could not sink this ship." He proclaimed. Willow sighed. She didn't much care.
"Angelus!" She called to her fiance. He was ordering someone around about their suitcases. "Angelus!" He still did not acknowledge her. She let out a frustrated sigh.
"Willow! Willow, darling! Come here." Willow looked to see her mother, Drusilla. Her mother was only 34. She had had Willow when she was 16 to a 30 year old father. Her father died a few months ago leaving them with many debts he hadn't paid. Willow walked slwoly to her mother. Finally Angelus ran over to them.
"I do say Drusilla, Your daughter is very hard to please." He said with a smile. He took Drusilla's arm in his and they all walked to board the ship.

William looked at his friend Angel for a second. They were in a poker game. Angel was frustrated. "Spike.." Which was Williams nickname. "I can't believe you bet everything. What if we lose."
"Listen mate. When you got nothing you got nothing to lose." William said with a smile. He puffed on his cigar. "Alright, Mates. Moment of truth. Somebody's life is about to change. So show us what you got." He said to the other poker players. Angel, nothing. Jack, nothing. Sven, double pair. Spike puffed on his cigar once again but slowly this time. "Double pair. Well, I'm sorry Angel.." He started.
"Spike, I can't believe you. You bet all our money and "Spike intterrupted him.
"I'm sorry Angel, Your not going to see your mum for a very long time. Cause we're going to America! FULL HOUSE BOYS!" He said slamming the cards down on the table. You could tell Jack and Sven were very upset. "Actually, Boys. Titanic is going to America in 5 minutes!" The Bartender said laughing. With that Angel and Spike picked up their bags and ran towards the Titanic. They finally got to the doorway.
"Have you been through the inspection?" The worker asked.
"Of course. Besides, we're both Americans" Spike answered. The man nodded and let them on.

Angelus, Willow, and Drusilla all sat at the table with Xander the ships architect and Buffy. Alot of people didn't like Buffy. Her husband died years ago leaving her tons of money. Everybody called her 'new money.' Willow puffed on her cigar. Drusilla leaned forward and quietly said. "You know I don't like that Willow." She said. Willow took a deep puff then let it out into her mothers face. Suddenly Angelus yanked it out of her mouth. "She knows. Umm....We'll both have the lamb with little sauce." Angelus said to the waiter. "You like lamb right sweet pea?" He asked looking at Willow. All Willow could give him was a big fake smile.
"You gonna cut her food for her too their Angelus?" Buffy suddenly said. I desperately wanted to laugh hysterically but held back. Angelus just gave her a despising look followed by a smile. They finally talked mindless chitchat. Which I followed with one of my many insults.
"What has gotten into you Willow?" She asked. I could tell she was embarrased. I just excused myself and left.
"You sure you can handle her Angelus?" Buffy asked. Angelus let out an angry chuckle.
"Well, I might have to start minding what she reads." Was all Angelus said.

I am running to...oh.. I don't know where. I don't care! I feel like I'm screaming and nobody even hears me. I just want it all to stop. The pain. I ran to the very back of the ship. I am climbing the railing careful not to trip to soon. I'm finally on the other side. I hold on to the railing and lean forward. The water is so dark. It is cold outside. I just want to let go. I must admit I am scared.
"Don't do it." I hear a man say. I turn my head to see a Tall man with brown eyes and bleached blonde hair that is slicked back.
"Stay back! Don't come any closer!" I say with a hint of attitude.
"Come on.Just come back over."
"No, stay where you are! I mean it. I'll let go!" I wish he would go away! He throws his cigar over board. Then he simply says.
"No you won't" I for one can't believe what he just said!
"What do you mean 'No I won't.'? Don't presume to tell me what I will and will not do! You don't know me!"
"Well, you would of done it already."
"Go away your distracting me." I yell.
"I can't. I'm involved now. You let go and I have to jump in after you luv."
"Don't be absurd." I say with disgust. "The fall alone will kill you." "Maybe. It would hurt. I'm not saying it wouldn't. But I'm more worried about that cold water."
"How cold?" I asked hesitantly.
"Freezing. Maybe a couple degrees over. I fell in it once back in England. That's where I grew up. I was Ice Fishing. That's when you.."
"I know what Ice Fishing is!" I say again with disgust.
"Well ducks. I didn't know. You seem like more of an indoor girl. Anyway, the water hits you like a thousand knives stabbing you all over your body. You can't breath, you can't think, not about anything then the pain atleast. So that's why I'm not looking forward to going in after you......So I was kind of hoping you would come back over and let me off the hook." He reached his hand a little bit.
"You're Crazy!" I yelled again.
"That's what my friend Angel tells me all the time. But with all do respect ma'am. I'm not the one hanging off the back of a boat."
I stopped breathing for a moment when I realized he was right. Here I am hanging off the back of a boat. If I slip I'm a gonner. I turned around slightly and looked him straight in the eyes. He grabbed my hand."I'm William Dawson. But people call me Spike." He smiled.
"I'm Willow Depardo" He smiled again "I'm going to have to get you to write that down." He said and we both laughed. Suddenly I slipped on my dress. I let out a loud scream. He grabbed my arm. I was hanging off his arm. I could fall at any minute I realized this which made me scream louder.
"Pull yourself up!" He yelled. With that I pulled as hard as I could. Finally we got over and fell to the ground when a bunch of workers saw us. They told Spike to freeze. I knew what they were thinking.
~~~~~~~~
"How DARE you put your hands on my fiance!" He yelled
"Angelus! It wasn't his fault. It was an accident." I said in Spike's defense. He looked at me with disbelief.
"ACCIDENT?" He yelled
"Yes. I was leaning over to see the umm...the umm.... the..the...the.."
"Propellars?"
"PROPELLARS!" I said.
"She was leaning over to see the propellers."
"Yes, and I slipped and Mr. Dawson here saved me." I explained.
"Well, then he's a hero!" Said one of the workers.
"Yes." Angelus growled. He grabbed my arm for us to leave.
"Uhh. Sir. Something for the boy?" The worker asked. Angelus turned around very annoyed.
"Yes, Uh Lovejoy. I think a 20 should do it." He said. I stopped him.
"Oh, is that the going rate for saving the life of the woman you love?" I challenged. He looked at me with studying eyes.
"Willow is displeased. What to do? I know. Mr. Dawson?" He started.
"Spike."
"Spike? Umm OK. Well perhaps you would like to join us for dinner tomorrow
night?" Angelus asked.
"Alright mate. See you then." He smiled. They starred at each other competitevly. Then Angelus and I left.
