Chapter 6: Kaoru's Titanic Play

(Haneoka Girls' High School)

In Haneoka Girls' High School's Auditorium was Kaoru. She was writing a play of Titanic based on James Cameron's "Titanic". After watching it in theaters for its 20th Anniversary, she had to write her own play of Titanic. Helping her were Patrick, Liliya, Rozaliya, Blanc, Rom, Ram, and Caster William Shakesphere. When meeting William Shakesphere, Kaoru was fan girl-ing over him but stopped.

Kaoru: Ok, it's going to be about a rich girl from first class who falls in love with a boy from second class but her parents are against that and want her to marry someone else but from first class. But she refuses to do that and rebels against her rich family.

Blanc: And what happens during the iceberg collision and sinking?

Kaoru: After getting into an argument with her rich family, the rich girl runs away and asks the boy to help hide her and he does so. Then they go to the bow before the collision and witness it.

Patrick: And does he get framed like Jack?

Kaoru: I'm not including that. The girl goes back to first class and warns her family but they don't believe her and restrict her. Then as the lifeboats are being lowered, the girl manages to get away from her family and runs away with the boy. Leading up to the events of the final part of the sinking.

William Shakesphere: Ok, and what happens when they are in the ice cold water?

Kaoru: They eventually get to a piece of furniture wide enough for both of them to get on then they get rescued. Then after getting rescued by the Carpathia, they manage to avoid the rich girl's family and after arriving in New York, they leave for California and get married then have a family. And that's how the play ends.

Patrick: Very good. Your fangirls will love it.

Kaoru: Oh I know they will. It will be fleeting.

Blanc: And why exactly are we here?

Kaoru: Since I'm going to be the director. I want all of you to be my producers. Plus, Liliya-chan and Rozaliya-chan will be in charge of rehearsals, and Blanc-san will be in charge of writing the scripts and writing the scenes with me.

William Shakesphere: Very well. I may be a servant but I haven't forgotten how to work on a play.

Blanc: Have you decided on what to name some of the characters?

Kaoru: The ones who will play the characters with no name will keep their names except for the characters who were people in real life.

Patrick: So. Who do you have in mind to play the rich girl? I'm pretty sure that all the girls who are watching will want to see you be the rich girl.

Kaoru: Actually I have someone else in mind.

Blue and Pink twins: Who?

Kaoru: I've decided to have Vert-san play the part of the rich girl.

Blanc: Why can't you have Kokoro play the rich girl? She's a real rich girl.

Kaoru: Because she can't show any negative emotions. So I'm giving her a secondary role instead. Vert-san would definitely show lots of emotion on stage and would definitely love to play the part.

Patrick: I guess that's true. She has played lots of Otome games and I'm sure that she's read lots of romance light novels and manga. She's also watched lots of romance Anime too.

Blanc: Thunder Tits does have the traits of a rich girl.

Kaoru: Bakugo-san will be the man who the rich girl's family wants her to marry, Iida-san will be Captain Smith, the parents of the rich girl will be played by Todoroki-san and Yaoyorozu-san, Nahida-chan will be the rich girl's little sister, Midoriya-san will be a crewmate, Childe-san will also a crew mate, Yumi-san will be Molly Brown, Tsukasa-san will be Mr. Murdock, Shotaro-san will be Mr. Ismay, Sero-san will be Thomas Andrews...

Several rolls later...

Kaoru: And lastly, I'm going to be a woman from first class who is doing some narration to the audience with Neptune who will also be a girl from first class who will do some narration with me. Some scenes with Neptune and some without Neptune.

Patrick: So like the Rooster from "Robin Hood" and Narrator Smurf from "The Smurfs".

Kaoru: Yes.

Patrick: And who will be the boy from second class?

Kaoru: I've given it lots of thought. I've done my thinking. And I've decided that you should take on the role of the boy from second class.

Patrick: WHAT?! Why me?!

Kaoru: Well, given that your favorite color is green. That you are from the US and Vert is based on an American Console by Microsoft. Seeing how both of you love Anime and video games. And because you enjoy living in the middle between rich and poor.

Patrick: I guess those are true.

Kaoru: Plus you've got to kiss her in several parts of the play. A love story play isn't complete without kissing.

Patrick: ... ... Alright. But no tongue play.

Kaoru: Very well.

Rom: Why are you having Nahida play as a little sister?

Kaoru: Because of what happened when first meeting Nahida-chan.

(Flashback)

When Nahida was introduced to everyone at CiRCLE, Vert instantly rushed to Nahida and hugged her in between her breasts. Vert even had heart eyes. She was acting the same way when she first met Bouquet in "CyberDimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online" and when she first met Aaru in "Neptunia X Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars".

Vert: What an absolute adorable little goddess! She's so cute! She's so fit to be my little sister!

Nahida: I can't see!

Neptune and Noire: NOT AGAIN!

Rom (present): I can remember how angry big sister Blanc was.

Blanc: VERRRRRRT!

Neptune and Noire: Let go, right now!

Vert: But my dream of having a little sister is in front of me again before my eyes!

Eula: Just calm down, Vert-san. We're here to welcome another archon here so you better let go right now so she can interact with everyone here, then you'll get your chance.

Vert was forced to let go of Nahida.

Theresa: Sorry about that, Nahida-chan. Vert-san is always desperate for a little sister. And since you have the colors of white and green, Vert-san saw you as a potential candidate.

Nahida: It's fine, Theresa-chan.

More flashbacks happened.

Patrick (present): Since then, Nahida has allowed Vert to be around her. Vert showed Nahida around Leanbox treating her as her little sister. I can still remember how angry Vert was because of what Azar and what Dottore did to Nahida in their game and when Azar was still part of Anonymous Villain's group of villains. That one time when fighting against them Vert as Green Heart was beating Azar to death that Blanc as White Heart and Cyno had to force her to stop. And when she was trying to kill Dottore, he used his sound waves to paralyze her and tried to kill her before Deku, Kiana, Neptune as Purple Heart, and I blasted him away from Vert.

Rom (present): She gets really scary when someone she sees as a little sister gets treated badly by bad people, she would get really angry and try to kill them.

Blanc (present): I'm the one who gets more angry than Vert. I mean, I'm the rage monster in our franchise.

Patrick (present): Like Tyler from "Dude Perfect" when he turns into the rage monster in their stereotype videos...

Blanc (present): Shut up!

(Flashbacks end)

Blanc: You were saying, Kaoru-san?

Kaoru: As I was saying. In the play, the little sister will be supportive of her big sister, the rich girl. And I want Vert-san to wear this.

Kaoru brings out a necklace box then opens it.

Patrick: Is that?

Kaoru: Yes. It's a replica of the heart of the ocean. I want Vert to wear it the whole play.

Patrick: Ok.

Rozaliya: If we're done discussing. Let's start working!

Kaoru: you're right, Rozaliya-chan. Let's get started!

Everyone held their right fists up.

Everyone: YEAH!

The montage started with everyone working and rehearsals. Groups were making the props, clothing, stage sets, mock ups, and scenery. Noire was in charge of making the costumes for the play. Neptune and Kaoru insisted on Noire using her skills at making costumes in which she reluctantly agreed and Uni helped her with being in charge and making the costumes. Caster Miss Crane also helped out with making the costumes too with her skills. Plus she was also gonna be in the play too. Others skilled with making clothes helped out with making the costumes.

Liliya and Rozaliya were in charge of rehearsals as they wanted to make sure that the actors and actresses remember their scripts.

Rimi and Himari were excited to be acting in the play. Even Vert was excited too. Rimi and Himari were dressed up as first class women. Vert was dressed up in a green first class dress. They had their hands on their cheeks.

Rimi: We get to be in a play with Kaoru-san!

Himari: I know! We're in a play directed by Kaoru-senpai!

Vert: And I get to be in a love story play where I'm the maiden in love who wants to get away from a restrictive rich family! I can barely contain my excitement!

Eula: Alright you three, settle down. Keep your excitement contained.

Eula was in a woman's aristocrat dress in blue. She was also gonna be a woman from first class.

Vert: We're trying. It's just that before the iceberg collision scene, I get to sing "My Heart Will Go On" while at the front of the bow with Patrick which will be really exciting for me. Plus Nahida will get to be my little sister in this play. I just want to hug her again.

Eula: She's an archon with a high status.

Vert: And I'm a goddess too like Nahida. Also with a high status.

The camera cuts to Chisato on the stage rehearsing some lines.

Chisato was wearing a first class dress in yellow colors. Since she is an actress, she has experience with practicing lines.

Chisato: If only (Y/N)-kun was still here.

Kaoru: Well he's not. He's abroad now.

Rozaliya: Back to rehearsal, Chisato-san!

Chisato: Alright! Alright! Don't say that so loud!

On Easter Day, everyone had a day off. It was also Ran's birthday. In which her birthday was celebrated Easter style. Then the next day they went back to working on the play.

The day finally came for the play to be performed. The date was April 14th and lots of people including high school students were lining up to enter the auditorium. Everyone was seated down. Kaoru came on stage from the curtains then the spotlight shined on her causing all the girls from the high schools to squeal from seeing Kaoru.

Kaoru: Welcome everyone. Thank you all for coming to my play, directed by me. This is so fleeting.

The girls squealed again.

Kaoru: I have my whole cast and crew to thank for helping me make this play about Titanic come to fruition, so my little kittens, enjoy my fleeting play.

The girls squeal again as Kaoru goes back into the curtains as the curtains open up to the first act of the play. Kaoru was on stage with Neptune. The setup was Southampton Docks with Titanic.

Kaoru: Greetings everyone. Welcome to the Titanic Play. We are here to tell the story. My name is Kaoru Seta.

Neptune: And I am Neptune! Protagonist of protagonists! But in this story! I am telling it with Kaoru!

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Kaoru: Here we are at Southampton Docks in the United Kingdom.

Kaoru's voice echos as the camera blurs into a new scene where it shows a realistic scene of the part of the play with a large crowd of people at Southampton Docks with Titanic. There were also automobiles. The camera cuts to Kaoru and Neptune in the crowd.

Kaoru: A very rich family by the name of the Greenbergs will be arriving to board the Titanic. You will meet them along with one of the stars of our story, Vert as they arrive in an automobile car coming along with two more cars behind us.

Neptune: Where?

Kaoru: There.

Neptune: When?

Kaoru: Now.

They both turn around to see three automobiles arriving then stopping. The driver of the first one being played by Kamen Rider Drive/Shinnosuke Tomari opens up the door and out comes Vert with a large sun hat.

Kaoru: There she is. The lovely maiden, Vert.

Neptune: And out comes her little sister, Nahida.

Then out comes Nahida also with a large sun hat. Vert speaks her first line.

Vert: Oh my! Just look at this large ship! Nahida! I can't wait to get on!

Nahida: You're always excited.

Neptune: Vert loved her little sister, Nahida. But she also loved other things like hot boys and men, cute little girls, entertainment, and finding love.

Kaoru: Her little sister, Nahida loved education, reading books, knowledge, wisdom, and studying.

The camera went blurry again back to the theater in the backstages where some of the cast was watching the play progress.

Rozaliya: Ok Patrick. You're on soon.

Patrick: Right.

Patrick breathes then he walks onto the stage as the camera blurry again going back to the realistic scene.

Kaoru: And now our second star of the show is here. Patrick. A boy from second class.

Patrick: I'm finally going home to America. Soon I'll be back home in New Jersey.

The camera cuts to the backstage where other cast members were watching.

Aya: Soon our turns will come to go on stage.

Rimi: This is so exciting!

Himari: Yes it is!

A montage of scenes started. There was a shot of Patrick at the very front saying out loud.

Patrick: "I'm the king of the world!"

Then the camera cuts to the scene where Vert was gonna jump off the Titanic but Patrick prevents her from doing it but she slips and Patrick saves her and pulls her to safety. Then the camera cuts to a still shot of Patrick having first class dinner with Vert and her family. Then to a still shot of Todoroki and Yaoyorozu with hateful expressions pointed at Patrick. Then it cuts to the backstage where Bakugo was gonna come on stage.

Rozaliya: You're on, Katsuki-san.

Bakugo: About time.

Bakugo comes on stage.

Kaoru: And here comes the man from first class that Vert's parents want Vert to marry. Katsuki Murderson.

Neptune: He's also in a rich family and Vert's parents don't want their family to be stained. But Vert does not want to Marry him.

The scene cuts to a still frame of Vert arguing with Todoroki and Yaoyorozu then it cuts to another still frame of Vert running away.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

At the scene that was going to lead up to the "I'm flying" scene, Patrick was at the front of the bow staring at the horizon and the sunset.

Kaoru and Neptune appear.

Kaoru: Feeling rejected, Patrick stares to the horizon. Vert's parents don't like him and they wanted Vert to marry someone else.

Neptune: But just as all hope seems lost, Vert comes to him.

Vert: Hello Patrick.

Patrick turns around to see Vert.

Patrick: Hello Vert.

Vert: I've decided.

Vert walks up to Patrick.

Vert: I've decided when the ship docks. I'm running away with you.

Patrick: Really?

Vert: Yes.

Patrick smiles.

Patrick: Give me your hand.

Neptune: Patrick tells Vert to give him her hand then he tells her to close her eyes which she did.

Kaoru: Then she is told to step onto the railing. Then Patrick spreads her arms out then holds her at the waist.

Neptune: Then he tells her to open her eyes.

Vert: I'm flying.

The scene blurs back to reality to the theater where it shows a large fan out of state view blowing at the bow to make wind. Some of the cast members were watching the scene and were awestruck.

Rimi: It's beautiful!

Miss Crane: AHHHHHHHH!!!!! This is too much! My heart can't take it!

Yumi: It's so lovely! I want to be held like that too!

Himari: I just want to cry!

Chisato: I wish I could be in a scene like that with (Y/N)-kun!

Yukina: So do I.

Barbara: I wish Jean could hold me like that too!

As they were crying, the camera blurs back to the realistic scene of Patrick and Vert on the bow of the Titanic.

Kaoru: With their confession, they finally kissed their first kiss.

The audience squealed as did the cast members.

Neptune: What they didn't know was that it would be the last time Titanic would see daylight. As danger would soon come.

The curtains closed as there was now an intermission. The camera cuts to Patrick in the dressing room. Then Neptune steps in.

Neptune: That was great! You really pulled the part with Vert!

Patrick: Yes. We did.

Neptune: That kissing part was so romantic!

Patrick: It was nice kissing Vert.

Neptune: Green is your favorite color after all.

Patrick: You're still my number one favorite character in your franchise because you're a protagonist and Vert is my number two favorite character in your franchise.

Neptune: I know.

In the backstage Vert had hearts coming out of her and she had hearts in her pupils. And her hands were on her cheeks.

Vert: I kissed a man! I kissed a man! I kissed a man! It was so exciting! Just like in all those Otome games I've played!

Lisa: Vert-san seems to be happy.

Nepgear: I've seen her play tons of Otome games and she felt that she was living one now.

Blanc: Thunder Tits is enjoying acting in the play.

Kaoru: After intermission ends, we get back to work.

After the intermission ended, the play continued onward and got to the part where Patrick and Vert were back at the bow after escaping from the people looking for Vert. They were laughing for some time till they stopped laughing.

Vert: When the ship docks. I'm getting off with you.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

And that's when Vert began singing "My Heart Will Go On".

The others backstage watched in awestruck.

Neptune: Listen to how beautiful Vert sings.

Kaoru: How fleeting.

Mineta: A beautiful busty blonde singing beautifully.

Kaminari: So true. A beauty is singing beautifully.

Kallen: I can see the audience in awestruck.

Rimi: how romantic.

Himari: Same.

Gaon: I just want to cry!

Phillip: I really love this.

Nilou: A goddess who sings beautifully.

The camera blurs to a realistic scene of Titanic again.

After Vert finishes singing, she and Patrick kiss again. Kaoru and Neptune appear on camera.

Kaoru: As they enjoy their romantic time together. Danger was about to happen.

Neptune: What they didn't know was that the ship was heading towards an iceberg.

Up in the mast lookout were Kazuha and Kirishima as crew mates. They saw the iceberg then rang the bell which got the attention of everyone at the front. Then Kazuha grabbed the phone and called.

Kazuha: Is there anyone there?!

Stacy: Yes. What do you see?

Kazuha: Iceberg right ahead!

Stacy: Thank you.

He hung up and took action as did Tsukasa who was playing Mr. Murdock.

Stacy: Iceberg right ahead!

Tsukasa (Mr. Murdock) and Stacy: Hard starboard!

Zox, who was playing the man with the helm, started turning it really fast all the way.

Zox: I have her!

Neptune: The crew of the Titanic worked as fast as they could to try to avoid the iceberg.

Kaoru: The couple took notice of the iceberg and held hands.

Neptune: The ship was slowly turning left but try as they might, the inevitable happened.

Kaoru: The ship collided with the iceberg and the couple stepped back as chunks of ice came onto the stern.

Neptune: Then they looked back at the iceberg as they passed it.

Patrick: I've got a bad feeling about this.

Vert: I'll go warn Nahida and my parents. Stay here.

Patrick: But what if they, I don't know. Restrict you?

Vert: Then I will run away with everything I've got.

Kaoru: So Vert goes to warn her family.

Later...

The play was now at the scene where Vert grabbed Nahida and escaped from their parents.

Todoroki: NO!

Yaoyourozu: Come back!

Vert: NEVER!

Then the camera cuts to Vert and Nahida reuniting with Patrick.

Vert: What now?

Patrick: We get up to the stern. We'll think of something.

The camera cuts to the backstage again.

Zyuran: Look at how the audience is reacting.

Kaito: I know. The suspense is killing them.

Later again... *bzzzz*

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

A record player scratch sounded and the screen froze.

Then Neptune comes on camera.

Neptune: Really? You had to do that again?

Then Patrick came on.

Patrick: I couldn't find the time to write more about the sinking act.

Neptune: Now this is rushed...

Patrick: Shut up. Let's just move on.

Neptune: Oh fine.

Static appeared on the screen then the play continued.

After "Nearer My God To Thee" was played, Patrick, Vert, and Nahida were getting up to the stern in which they managed to get all the way to the top to the same spot where the scene took place where Patrick and Vert first met. The camera cuts to Yumi playing Molly Brown on the lifeboat where she says the line.

Yumi: (Molly Brown): God O Mighty.

Then the power on the ship cuts out and then it splits as the stern goes back down then up again as the trio go up on top of the railing. And then the stern begins to go down as people were falling.

Patrick: This is it! Hold on! The ship is gonna suck us down. Take a deep breath when I say.

Vert and Nahida: Right!

Patrick: Kick for the surface and keep kicking! Do not let go!

The water was getting closer.

Patrick: We're gonna make it!

Patrick: Ready?! Ready?! Now!

They took a deep breath as the ship fully went under as they kicked up to the surface. The camera cuts to the backstage again.

Misaki: Finally the sinking is over.

Barbara: It was scary.

Hu Tao: And intense.

Eve: But at least they're OK.

The trio got on top of a large piece of furniture. The camera shows Kaoru and Neptune on a floating bed.

Kaoru: With the water freezing cold below freezing. Patrick, Vert, and Nahida waited on their floating furniture.

Neptune: Some time passed before one lifeboat came back to find survivors.

Kaoru: In which 6 were found. Including the trio.

The scene faded into a new scene where it was morning. Then the RMS Carpathia came.

Neptune: Morning came when the RMS Carpathia arrived and took the 700 survivors on board.

The camera showed Neptune and Kaoru on the Carpathia.

Kaoru: They hid from Vert and Nahida's family.

Neptune: They managed to not get spotted by them.

Patrick: When we get to New York. Let's go the distance. First let's go to New Jersey then to California where we'll have our wedding.

Vert: I love your idea. I'll finally be free.

Nahida: I'll be your flower girl.

Patrick and Vert kissed again. Then a time skip occurred to the ship arriving in New York City going past the Statue of Liberty.

Kaoru: After arriving in New York City. Patrick, Vert, and Nahida traveled a great distance to California where they wanted to hold their wedding.

The scene blurs back to the theater.

Neptune: Vert wanted to be as far away from her family as possible. Patrick reunited with his family in New Jersey and introduced them to Vert and Nahida before they traveled to California.

Patrick's parents were played by Berserker Minamoto No Raikou and Saber Lancelot.

Kaoru: And they allowed him to marry Vert and go west with her and her little sister. Which now brings us to the happy ending.

The curtains closed then a few minutes later they opened again to reveal an interior of a church where Kotomine Kirei and Caren Hotensia were. There was also Patrick wearing a tuxedo at the spot.

Caren: Feeling nervous?

Patrick: A little.

Kirei: Just be calm, son.

That's when more came on stage. Like Rimi, Himari, Yumi, and others.

Kaoru: Today was the day of their wedding.

Neptune: The bells were ringing and the flower girl stepped in with the bride following.

Nahida spreads flower petals while Vert follows. She was in a beautiful wedding dress. Rimi and Himari were blushing with happiness. That's when Vert makes it to Patrick, Caren, and Kirei.

Kirei: Do you vow to take him as your husband?

Vert: I do.

Kirei: And do you vow to take her as your wife?

Patrick: I do.

The audience squealed.

Vert: And finally, the bouquet toss. There!

When Vert threw the bouquet of flowers, lots more appeared and spread across the stage and the audience. When Rimi and Himari caught their bouquets of flowers, they fainted like they did when they saw Kaoru's "Momotaro" play.

Kaoru: After their wedding, they went on living a happy life together and had children together for their family.

Neptune: Eventually, Vert's family found them and finally accepted Patrick.

Kaoru: Patrick and Vert and Nahida went on and became actors in Hollywood when movies began.

Neptune: Even wrote books too.

Kaoru and Neptune: And they lived happily ever after. The End.

The curtains closed as the audience clapped then a short time later they opened up again to reveal the whole cast lined up then they bowed to the audience.

Kaoru: Thank you everyone for enjoying our fleeting play. If you haven't had enough of it. We're performing again tomorrow at the same time.

Neptune: That's right! And don't worry! We'll be working on more plays for you all to enjoy!

Kaoru and Neptune: Thank you for watching! Bye-bye!

Then the curtains closed. After that, the whole cast met up in the backstage.

Kaoru: Thank you all for your hard work on the play. It was fleeting.

Rimi and Himari: You are most very welcome, KAORU-SAN!

Yumi: It was nice playing the unsinkable Molly Brown.

Tsukasa: I enjoyed being in the play.

Kiana: It was nice.

Vert: It was so lovely. Oh that wedding scene felt like I was living a fantasy in the Otome games I played with wedding scenes.

Vert grabbed Nahida and hugged her.

Vert: And I have Nahida to thank for being my little sister!

Nahida: Too tight!

Blanc: VERT!

Rom and Ram: Don't rage out!

Vert lets go of Nahida.

Vert: I loved it.

William Shakesphere: I also enjoyed the play.

Kaoru: I have a few more play ideas. Like a recreation of "The Wizard of Oz".

Patrick: The Valkyries and I watched that a year ago and thought that you would do something like that. But we'll have to discuss that for another time.

Kaoru: Very well. We can all go home now. See you all tomorrow.

Everyone leaves to go home then the camera cuts to the outside then it points up to the night sky where it shows a constellation of Titanic then the screen turns black.

(The end...)

(Ending song...)

(Author's note: Sorry this took so long. I've been busy with education and haven't been finding any time to make any chapters. I also haven't been finding any time to play video games. I meant to publish it on this year's anniversary of Titanic's sinking but couldn't find the time to work on it and publish it on time. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I will see you all in the next chapter.)
