Hello everyone this is my first time writing a FanFic ever! But I just envisioned this story with the two of them so well that I knew I had to write it! For the most part this is based directly off of the movie, but with a few changes in story and character. I am also making this very realistic so expect there to be controversy about the couple. I am also still not sure what I am going to do with the ending. I know a lot of people would like a happy ending but I shall see as the story goes on what I will do. I hope you all enjoy it!

Chapter 1

April 15, 1912

The melody of the music that the young beautiful women was playing filled her mind, heart and, soul with a feeling not even the words of the worlds greatest poets could describe. She was in a trance for she never believed that such a melody could ever be created... and then the women started to sing. The words swelled her blue eyes with enough tears she felt to fill the worlds oceans as she realized that this women..this women who she never saw coming.. her savior.. created this music and these words for her...

April 15, 1996

It had been 84 years since the disaster of the Titanic and still for Brittany Susan Pierce it was as if yesterday she was still on the grand ship that the press called "The unsinkable ship". Though through the years a day did not go by that she did not think of her journey on the Titanic...still hearing those beautiful medleys in her head...This did not stop her from being startled when she heard from her television of a team of treasure hunters/researchers who had been searching the Titanic's ghostly grave. Brittany walked as quickly her now aged legs could take her to the television to turn up the volume.

"Today while searching through one of the 1st class bedrooms on the RMS Titanic for the possibility of the Heart of the Ocean we came across pieces of music.. music that even after 84 years are still preserved and legible. The Music was sent off to a team of musicians and they believe that a famous composer must have been on board the Titanic and died but that no record of him was kept so that he would not be bothered on board. They believe this because the piece of music was just to grand for the composer to be unknown. We are looking for anyone who might have information on who this composer and writer could have been for the date shows that it was written while on board."

Brittany stood staring at the TV but the rest of the words that the man spoke were completely shut out by the roll a coaster that was occurring in her mind making her dizzy. A sea of memories entered her mind and drifted her away to a time long ago. She closed her eyes and imagined her touch, her voice...and then she snapped out of it as she heard the man giving out a number to call. She quickly grasped a piece of paper and ferociously wrote the number down and then shut off the TV as if she wanted to forget it all. She stood there in silence for some time looking down at the paper. She laughed "Well I'll be God dammed"

Titanic research ship

Mr. Hudson was preparing one of his submarines for another expedition to the Titanic when his partner Mr. Hummel ran up to him with an overly excited look on his face. He stopped and put his hands to his knees trying to bring air into his empty lungs. In small puffs he let out

"Yyyou...huff...haveee...huff...a...cccall...huff".

Rain and wind howled around them like a giant monster, which was already stressing Mr Hudson out because of how long it was taking to prepare for the trip. However wither there was no sign of rain and wind in sight or The wind was so strong it would bring down buildings faster then Godzilla he knew he had to make this trip. If he went any longer without finding new treasures in the ship graveyard soon the hype would wither away and he would lose tones support and sponsors. What on earth could be so important that Kurt was bothering him for a phone call?

"Kurt do you see this!" He said pointing up at the mini submarine that was being lowered into the water. "This is the ship for the expedition that that was suppose to start1 hour ago and I need to finally get it down!"

Kurt had finally gotten his breath back and stood up. He looked at his partner with a serious face that he only used if the situation called to be serious and Finn knew he wouldn't use it other wise. Still with his anger he was not buying it right away and waved his hand at his partner and began to walk away.

" Finn you know I wouldn't bother you right now if it wasn't something that needed to be dealt with now. Trust me you want to take this call"

Finn instantly felt anger rise in him. He felt as if fire was about to exit his ears. Whatever it was it better be worth the longer wait to start the expedition. He walked toward Kurt to take the phone from him trying to get to a spot were the icy wind would not hit him.

"you got to speak up a little" his partner yelled at him through the wind and rain 'Shes kind of old. Her name is Brittany Pierce!"

"great" Finn whispered in a sarcastic voice to himself before answering the call.

"Hello Ms. Pierce how can I help you" Finn said into the phone trying to mask his annoyed mood along with trying to speak up over the growling wind.

" Mr Hudson I was wondering if you have found out the person who wrote that music yet or who the music was made for. If you haven't noticed it is signed "for my love, fate has laid a hand"

Finn looked up in shock and turned to his friend. Color suddenly escaped from his face and he felt as if his stomach was turning inside out. Could this women know about the music? How did she know that it was made for someone?, He thought as he recalled that yes that was written at the bottom of the music. Selfishly thinking this could bring a lot of fame for his company.

"I told you you wanted to make the call" Kurt said with a huge smile across his face.

"All right Mrs pierce you have my attention. Do you know who the music and words were written for" Finn awaited eagerly for her response. It was only a few seconds but for him it felt like hours and as if father time was laughing at him.

" Of course the person who it was written for is me"

Brittany's home

After hanging up and putting the phone down Brittany's mind was like a piece of scrap paper. Everything was all over the place and she didn't know where to focus first. She had just agreed to go to visit Mr. Hudson to tell him all she knew about the music and possibly do a TV special on the story. She had never spoken to anyone about her days on the Titanic. For years she had been keeping it to herself locked up so closely that most people she knew did not even know she was a Titanic Survivor. It was a whisper of the heart that she never wanted to tell.

"But I promised..."

She thought to her self and took a deep breath and walked over to begin to pack for the trip. She had not been on a boat since the Titanic and was not feeling so grand about the idea. However since that is where she would finally fulfill the promise she kept she let it escape her mind. In a few hours a private plan would be fetching her and once more she would be entering the world of the Titanic.

Titanic Research ship

"Welcome to our research center!"

Mr. Hudson screamed loudly over the sound of the small plane as Brittany began to come down its steps.

"Boss how do we even know that is women is telling the truth" Mike one of his team whispered to Finn.

Finn answered back still smiling at Brittany as he answered "We did not release to anyone that the song was written to "My love, fate has laid a hand" But she knows!"

Brittany's heart felt as if it skipped a beat as she put one foot onto the ship. It was both exhilarating and terrifying but she continued on. She had to.

"Thank you Mr. Hudson"

"Should we get you a wheel chair Mrs. Pierce?

Brittany shook her head "Please call me Brittany and that will not be necessary" From all Brittany's years of dancing even at 101 she still had some strength left to her legs. Maybe not to run but still better then most. " I would like to see the music" she said in a voice that Mr. Hudson knew was not a request.

"Alright Brittany we thought you would like to rest but if you would like to get right to it that's fine with us"

Mr. Hudson followed by his team took Brittany through the outside of the ship around to a huge open area full of artifacts they had collected from the ship. Though the ship was nothing like the Titanic in size and grandeur and eerie feeling still filled Brittany making a tightness form in her chest.

Finally after passing many artifacts that Brittany noticed form when they were once on the ship ,that were not ruined with age and water exposure, reached the music. She slowly walked over to it and looked down. She closed her eyes and a flash back entered her mind of a beautiful young women with tan skin and flowing hair black as the sea at night. The dark haired beauty was simply smiling at her. When she opened her eyes she was staring at the music and began to hum the sound to her self.

"Hm hm hmmmmmm hm hm hm hmmmmm hm hm hmmmmm hm hm"

"You can read music Ms Pierce" One of the team members said to Brittany with an impressed tone.

"Not at all actually" She said turning to the team "This song has been imprinted on my heart and my mind since the day I heard it 84 years go. I could never forget it. The room you found the music in was the room that the Pierce family resided in on the Titanic"

The team gasped at this knowledge

"If that is true Ms. Pierce then you are now my new best friend" Mr. Hudson said getting closer to Brittany.

The team began throwing questions at Brittany. However a set up of TVs near where they were standing caught Brittany's bright blue eye and she began to walk toward them shushing out what the team was aiming at her. She put a hand to one of the TVs as images of what had now become of the Titanic flew through the screens. Emotion hit her like a bullet to the heart. She gasped and her hand flew to her mouth. The team ran over to her and grabbed her. They were almost sure she would have fallen if they did not.

"Are you sure you do not want us to take you up to rest. We can continue this in the.."

"No!" Brittany cut in with a high almost angered tone.

The team clearly not wanting to anger her any further presented her with a chair which she refused to sit in still staring at the images on the screen. They all gathered around preparing for her to begin

"Then will you tell us Brittany. Will you tell us your story and about the person who wrote this music." Finn lifted his recorder and the team inched in trying to get as close to Brittany as possible. As If they were afraid any longer and they would miss their chance.

Brittany took a deep breath in. As the air filled her lungs her memories began to appear crystal clear before her. "It's been 84 years"

Finn quickly cut in " I know that it has been so long but really anything helps"

"I could never forget Mr. Hudson. Now would you like yo hear this story or not? Perhaps after you will see money and fame is not everything"

Finn was taken aback for a moment with Brittany's words but decided to brush it off. He Smiled at her and nodded. "Yes Please continue"

Brittany closed her eyes once more finding the words she wanted to speak and then began again "Its been 84 years and I can still smell the fresh paint. The china had never been used, The sheets had never been slept in, The Piano had never been played. The press called Titanic "an unsinkable ship" she said with a laugh. "Well they were terribly wrong about that. However there was another title that they gave the Titanic. A title that now people would also say is false. At first I thought so to. The title made no sense to me"

"The ship of dreams" The team around Brittany all let out in unison.

"Yes the Ship of dreams" Brittany said with a smile as the words escaped her lips. And her next words left the team confused about the one crystal tear that was fell down her cheek "And it was...it really was"

I really hope you all enjoyed the first chapter. I know its a little different from the movie, but I wanted to add my own spice to it. Also I simply added Finn and Kurt to the mix so that you all could see familiar names. Any feed back good or bad will be greatly appreciated since I am a first time writer.
