"You mean," Rebecca said "You haven't do anything like that, ah, too bad your tired, because you it" With that Rebecca took off again.

       "Oh, I'm 'it', am I? We'll just see about that!" Jack ran after Rebecca for a bit and finally cornered her in a doorway. "Guess what? You're it." Only he didn't run away Rebecca just stood there and looked into his big brown eyes

       Breaking the moment of silence, Jack said quietly, "You know, I wasn't exaggerating when I told you how beautiful you are."

       Some of Rebecca's hair had gotten lose from the elastic and was blown onto her face; she pushed the hair behind her ear. "Thank you " Rebecca whispered, not sure of what else to say.

       Jack reached up and ran his fingers through her blonde hair. He found it incredibly soft, and her blue eyes reflected the stars. Music started to play softly, making the movement more perfect. Rebecca felt the cold, but warmth all at once. Jack took Rebecca's small right hand into his own, and kissed it ever so softly, while still captivated by her eyes. Rebecca looked up at the stars; "They are so beautiful tonight"

       Jack replied, "I know, I can see them reflected in your eyes."

       Rebecca took Jack's hand and led him to the middle of the sun deck (boat deck) the music was still playing, She placed one of his hands on her waist and the other in her hand, "Lets dance" she said

       Without a word, they began to dance in the light streaming from the windows. As they danced through the patches, their feet felt as light as air, with a slight ocean breeze making Rebecca's dress even more flowing and beautiful. For the first time, Jack was glad he had taken dance lessons for so long. Rebecca slowly moved closer to Jack till her head touched his chest. She loved dancing, She remembers when her father would take her dancing and to keep up, she would stand on his feet.

       The waltz slowly died away, and they stopped dancing. "That was nice, thank you." The band followed it up with an upbeat ragtime number. Jack smiled, "I'd dance to this, but I have no clue how."

       "That is all right" Rebecca said "I have no clue either, and who is here to see us make fools of ourselves."

       "Sounds great." Jack laughed a little, took Rebecca's hands, and pretended to know the steps. Rebecca laughed as the danced around the deck, when the song was over Rebecca collapsed on the deck, put her hands behind her head and looked at the stars "I haven't had this much fun in a long time."

       Jack laughed, "I'd have to agree with you on that one. Oh, Sorry about stepping on your feet..."

       "That's all right," Rebecca said, "Have you ever gone star spinning"

       "I can't say that I have. There was a nice shower of falling stars the other night, did you see it?" Jack replied.

       "Yes," Rebecca said. "The stars are so beautiful, the remind me of when my father took me out on deck and taught me everything he know about stars. That was my last happy memory with my father, the ship we were traveling on hit something, I don't know what, and sunk, "

       "I'm sorry to hear that. Fortunately, there's no chance that Titanic could sink. Even Capt. Smith says so." Jack changed the subject; "I love just looking up at the stars at night." He laughed. "Well, I suppose during the day doesn't make much sense."

       "You mean you have never seen morning stars. Were I live you can see the moon, in the middle of the day." Rebecca said "I love being on ships, but there is no such thing as an unsinkable ship."

       "I meant that you really can't go stargazing in the afternoon." Jack laughed. "I'd agree that there's no such thing as an unsinkable ship, but there is such thing as an extremely safe ship, and Titanic is definitely one."

       "I don't know, you lose someone because of a ship wreck and you never really trust a ship again." Rebecca said. She sat up and pulled her legs up to her body. "It is cold out, maybe they are not taking a southerly route like usually."

       "It is a bit chilly, I guess the dancing was keeping us warm. Well, that and the running." Jack smiled. "I'd trust Capt. Smith, though. I don't think there's much to be worried about." Jack put his arm around Rebecca to make her feel safe.
