Chapter 1: All aboard!

"Moment of truth, boys. Someone's life is about to change forever" Obi Wan said. He and his best friend, Anakin Skywalker were playing a game of poker. They were playing with two Swedish men named Sven and Olaf. On the line were several coins , bills, a pocket watch, a knife, and by far the most valuable items of them all, two third class tickets to the Titanic, the biggest Ocean Liner in the world.

"You know we're risking everything, right?' asked Anakin. "There's nothing to lose if we don't have anything, now do we?" Obi Wan retorted.

Anakin sighed. "Well, let's see those cards, boys" Obi Wan said. "Anakin?" He asked. Anakin turned his cards around, but he had nothing. "Sven?" The man shook his head as he put his cards down. " Olaf? " The man smirked a bit, he had two pairs. Obi Wan feigned shock.

"I'm sorry, Anakin" he said. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M SORRY?!" Anakin asked. " I'm sorry that you won't be seeing this place again, WE'RE GOING TO AMERICA! " Obi Wan yelled out as he threw his cards on the table, Tens full of Aces.

"Woohooo!" Anakin yelled out as he grabbed the tickets and kissed them. Olaf stood up and started punching Sven, since he was the one that had bet their tickets in the first place.

"We're going to America! We're going to America!" Obi Wan and Anakin sang. Suddenly, the pub owner yelled out, " Boys! You're not going to America! The Titanic is, and it's setting sail in less than ten minutes! " He yelled out with a hearty laugh.

Both men scurried to grab their winnings as they ran outside. They ran towards the little run down shack they called home and packed up all their belongings, which thankfully weren't many.

They hauled the bags onto their shoulders, and began running towards the ship, and towards a new life.

Satine Kryze and Padmé Amidala sat side by side in their carriage. They were ladies of high society, and they were expected to behave as such.

Sitting across from them sat their fiancees. In front of Satine sat Pre Vizsla, a very well known politician and owner of the most successful milling company in the east.

In front of Padmé sat Colonel Jango Fett, one of her stepfather's most trusted advisers. He was also Pre's partner, and both men were the second wealthiest in all of Europe.

Only the queen was richer than them.

They rode in silence, as they processed what would happen once they got to America.

Both women would get married to save their families from ruin, even if it meant living the rest of their lives with someone they didn't love.

The carriage came to a sudden stop. They all filed out and began walking arm in arm with their fiancees.

As they walked towards the humongous structure, Jango said "So this is the 'unsinkable' ship, huh?"

Pre smiled "It is unsinkable. Even god himself wouldn't be able to sink it". While the men argued, both women looked in awe at the magnificent ship, and unbeknownst to them, towards the ship that would change their lives forever.

"C'mon Anakin!" Obi Wan shouted. For once, Obi Wan was running faster than his younger friend, and Anakin was really trailing behind.

"Wait up, old man!" Anakin shouted back. Obi Wan laughed "You better hurry up! I'm the one with the tickets!" He said.

They reached the third class platform just as they were separating it from the ship.

"Wait! We're passengers!" Obi Wan yelled as he and Anakin stepped on the platform and handed the tickets over.

"Did you pass through the inspection?" The officer asked. "Of course we did, besides, we're don't have lice on us, we're both American" Obi Wan said.

"Alright. Welcome aboard, gentlemen!" He said as he moved aside letting them pass.

They quickly ran up to the deck and waved to the crowd below. "Know someone?" Anakin teased. Obi Wan rolled his eyes "You know that's not the point" he said as they continued to wave goodbye.

And just like that, the ship was underway, and so was the greatest change that would ever happen in their lives.

All aboard the R.M.S. Titanic! Hope you guys like this story and I promise I'll update soon!
