The AWESOME Adventures of Kirsty & Co. - Titanic Edition

It was a marvellous day on the Titanic. Kirsty & Co. were lounging on the upper deck, soaking up the sunshine and working on their awesome tans.

“I say,” said Taylor, “It was a jolly good idea to go on this cruise! Simply splendid!”

“Uh, Tay,” said Kirsty. “Why are you talking like that?”

“Like what, precisely, my dear, awesome friend?” asked Taylor. “Whatever are you referring to?”

“You’re talking like we’re in nineteenth century England,” said Anna Banana.

“It’s like you’re trying to be posh,” said Jess.

“It’s really weird,” said Kirsty.

“Ah!” Taylor grumbled. “Fine!”

“Though, she was right, Kirsty. It was a great idea to go on this cruise. I could really use a relaxing holiday,” said Anna Banana.

“Yeah, it was, wasn’t it?” Kirsty agreed. ‘I just heard that this was called “The Unsinkable Ship” and―”

“Whoa! Wait!” said Jess. “I thought this was called the Titanic?”

Later that day…

Kirsty & Co. were enjoying a lovely meal in the prestigious ballroom, when a rich party of people passed by on the way to the dance floor, where they began to waltz.

“Ooh, they’re dancing!” exclaimed Taylor. “I love to dance! Can we dance?”

Anna Banana, Jess and Kirsty all avoided Taylor’s eyes.

‘C’mon guys, let’s dance!” said Taylor, grabbing Anna Banana’s hand and dragging her to the dance floor. She started to dance, a special dance which Taylor liked to call “The Chango” – a cross between the chicken dance, and the tango.

Kirsty and Jess stared at Taylor and Anna Banana.

“Want to pretend we don’t know them and leave?” asked Kirsty.

“Yes!” Jess almost shouted, and they hurried out.

The two of them were halfway back to their rooms, when they were bumped aside by a large group of people who were running downstairs. The people seemed to keep coming and Jess was forced down the stairs with them.

“Kirsty!” she shouted, trying to climb back up. She held out her hand and tried to reach Kirsty.

Kirsty grabbed Jess’ hand. “I got you, Jess.”

Jess locked eyes with Kirsty. “Don’t ever let go!”

Kirsty looked awkwardly from side to side. The crowd had all gone, but Jess had shut her eyes and was still clinging to her. “Uh…Jess.”

“I know, Kirsty. I don’t want to die either,” Jess gripped her hand even harder.

Kirsty twisted her hand out of Jess’. “They’re gone, Jess. They’re gone.”

Jess looked up and around. “Oh,” she laughed nervously. “Wow…uh…You looked worried there for a moment, Kirsty. I mean, I knew we were going to be fine. It’s only a couple of people. Pfft.” Jess continued the nervous laughter and tried to act nonchalant.

“Right,” said Kirsty. “I wonder where they were going.”

 “I know where they were going,” said someone from the corner. A very familiar someone. Kirsty heard his voice and groaned. Not…

“Brandon!” Kirsty complained. “What are you doing here?”

“Oh, you know. Just taking a cruise. I heard this was called “The Unsinkable Ship” and―”

“Seriously!” Jess exclaimed. “Is this the Titanic or The Unsinkable Ship?”
Brandon laughed. “It’s the Unsinkable Shi―” he broke off and looked at Kirsty. “―Titanic?”

“Where were they going, Brandon?” Kirsty asked.

“They were going downstairs to the bottom deck.”

“But that’s where they shovel coal and all that,” Kirsty said.

“Oh. Then they were going to the deck above that?” Brandon said uncertainly. “There’s a dance there.”

“Oh. A dance. What kind of dancing?”

“Um, that one…you know with the,” Brandon started to demonstrate the dance. He looked like he was having an upright seizure.

“Yeah, no I think I’ll give it a miss,” said Kirsty while Jess tried not to laugh.

“Oh,” said Brandon, sounding disappointed.

“Have fun,” said Kirsty, turning around and leaving.

“Bye,” said Jess.

They left him looking disappointed on the stairs and went up onto the sky deck. They were standing near the edge when a couple came running past them.

“Oh, Jack,” giggled the woman as they ran.

The man giggled. “Shush, Rose,” he said.

Kirsty and Jess frowned. Before either of them could say something funny, two people got thrown from a door and onto the deck in front of them.

“And stay out!” yelled a man, the one who had thrown them out.

“It’s called “The Chango”! It’s a happening thing, I’m telling you!” yelled Taylor from the floor.

Anna Banana and Taylor stood up and brushed themselves off.

“Get kicked out for “The Chango”?” asked Kirsty.

Taylor nodded.

“Again? Really, Taylor?” asked Jess.

Taylor nodded.

Kirsty was about to tell Taylor off, when the ship shook, sending Taylor, Jess and Anna Banana to the ground. But not Kirsty. Her awesomeness held her up.

“What was that?” asked Anna Banana, rushing to the edge of the ship to look. Jess giggled and snuck up behind her, grabbed her shoulders and pretended to push her overboard.

“Saved your life!” Jess shouted.

Anna Banana turned around and glared at Jess. “Saved Your Life? You decided to play the Saved Your Life trick on me? Me?! I die and fall and disappear all the time! WHY? Why would you do that to me? Do you want me to die? Do you look forward to it? Is it your favourite part of our adventures? You. You―”

Right as Anna Banana called Jess an unprintable word, she slipped and fell sideways off the ship. They heard a splash and saw she had hit the water.

“Does that count as my fault?” asked Jess.

Taylor and Kirsty thought about it.

“No. I guess not. When you did the Saved Your Life thing, she was alright. I think that this one was her fault,” said Taylor.

Kirsty was about to agree, when she noticed the ship was sinking. Already, the water was up to their ankles. Kirsty pointed this fact out to the other two.

“How did we not notice this?” asked Jess.

“Well, Anna Banana was yelling. It would distract anyone,” reasoned Taylor.

“True,” said Kirsty.

In all the chaos of Anna Banana’s tantrum, they had missed the warning sirens, the yells and cries of distress and everyone fleeing in the escape boats. Apart from them, the ship was deserted.

“What do we do?” asked Jess.

“Well, I guess we’re going to have to abandon ship,” said Kirsty. “I’ll call the chopper.”

So Kirsty called her personal pilot, who came by in no time and flew them away. They looked out the window and watched as the ship snapped in half and sank.

“Hey,” said Taylor suddenly, “I think there’s someone still on the ship!” She pointed to a small dot that was waving at them.

“Is that…” Jess trailed off.

“Brandon?” Taylor sounded shocked. “What’s he doing on this cruise?”

“No. No, that’s not him,” said Kirsty. “It wouldn’t be.”

Back on the nearly-completely-sunk Titanic, Brandon was waving his arms in the air. “Kirsty! My awesome friend, come back!”

The End.
