“Come on, come on! We need to get down there and save him” you shouted panicking, “Oh God what if he’s dead!” Then you saw the creature, that down resembled more of a bird flew out of the water and not noticing you or Elizabeth. “Over there” she pointed at the pier that lead to the beach. “Alright, alright” you said nodding, “I’m going to swing you over there alright?” she nodded an you did so, “on three you jump” she landed but stumbled a bit and dirtied her skirt. You did the same but stayed on your feet.

You jumped over the railing and landed in the sand a raced toward the water where you could see a body floating over to shore, “God no” you said under your breath as you got closer. You ran into the water and got up to you waste and found Booker floating face down. You dragged him back to shore where Elizabeth was standing with a worried expression. Once you got him far enough from the water you plopped down on your knees and check for a heartbeat. “HE”S NOT BREATHIG” you shouted.

“Here let me” Elizabeth said, in a much calmer manner, a grabbed you shoulder. You moved aside and saw her compressing his chest, trying to get the water out of his lungs. You started chewing your lip and then your heard loud coughing and deep gasps of air, and saw Booker open his eyes and scan the area, his eyes fell on you but they closed again. “A-Aaah!” you panicked and put you hand near his face and gave a relieved sigh to see that he was breathing.

“I think he fainted” Elizabeth said sounding worried.

“Anna… Anna… Anna?” the two of you heard Booker mutter. You went back to chewing your lip, but then he stopped and you went to check for a heartbeat again and then it was gone, but then you remembered the CPR class you had taken. After three tries, Booker stirred, “…Anna?” he asked.

“No you stupid son of a bitch!” you shouted, making Elizabeth flinch and you angrily stood up and paced around the beach as Elizabeth talk to Booker in a gentler tone. You heard the faint sound of music and then saw Booker wave off Elizabeth, she hurried off and then stopped by you, he said he needs a minute, “I’ll be right back” she said going in the direction of the music.

You walked over to where Booker was passed out again and plopped down in front of him in the sand, “You fucking idiot” you muttered mostly to yourself, “you could have died. How the hell don’t you know how to swim?” you demanded at the passed out man. He obviously didn’t answer and you groaned in annoyance. But you looked him over, his mouth was slightly opened and it just looked like he was sleeping, his hair was a mess and his black shirt had a whole on the sleeves. He somehow looked younger.

You sighed and brought your legs up to your chest and rested your arms on top. You wondered how the hell you ended up here and why you had you help this gorgeous-

No you thought angrily, correcting yourself, you can NOT fall for him! He probably has a wife and a family, who wouldn’t marry a guy with that face?

“Well he’s stubborn, but he’s got a nice face” you muttered out loud. You looked around and saw that the sun was almost setting, you frowned and then turned back to look at Booker. You moved the back of your hand and gently touched Booker face but quickly pulled it back when he stirred awake.

He opened his eyes and was a bit surprised to see you there, especially with a face like you had just broken something expensive, “…Uh-“

SMACK

“AW! What the hell?!” he shouted as he stood up and you did the same.

“WHO THE HELL DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO SWIM?!” you demanded (I don’t know how XD), “I thought you had DIED Booker Dewitt!” you shouted, as tears threatened to spill. “You idiot!” you said smacking his arm repeatedly until he grabbed hold of your hand and .stood up and pulled you up with him

“Hey, hey” he said in a hushed gentle voice, holding your shoulders in a protective kind of way “I’m fine see” he said looking into your eyes and giving a hint of a smile, “I’m fine” he said again. You took a deep breath and nodded and stepped away from him and wiped away the wetness of your eyes.

“okay” you said, looking up at him, “Sorry” you apologized.

“Don’t worry about it. Where’s Elizabeth?” He asked looking around and noticing that she wasn’t present. “She went towards some music I think” you said sounding unsure. Booker nodded and let you go and took a step back, “Come one we need to get moving” he said back to his usual persona. “We should ask around for Elizabeth” you suggested, Booker nodded and made his way over to a man witting in the shade.

“Hey, you fellas seen a girl around here?”

“How bout you sleep nit off pal” the man sneered, and you felt the need to punch him but Booker noticed you tense up and made his way to another man.

“I’m looking for a girl”

“Looks like you got yourself a nice one right there” the man said smiling warmly and pointing at you, making you blush. “No! I’m not- I mean, she has dark hair and blue eyes, have you seen her?” you said quickly. The man shook his head, “No, can’t say I have”

“Alright thank you” you said, happy to get away from him. Booker looked at you as the two of you walked to another group of people; he kept thinking about the way you had reacted to when the man had suggested you were with him. He wasn’t sure if you were bothered by the fact that that it was him or if- wait, for all he knew you could be married. But he shook his head and continued talking to the people.

But seeing as though no one on the side you were on knew anything about where Elizabeth, the two off you went to the second part of the beach. The two of you passed by a poster and you saw that it was the First Lady Airship, “That just may be out ticket outa here” Booker said, a smirk evident in his voice that you couldn’t help but smile at. Booker noticed but there was huge gust of wind that startled you and Booker.  

“Something funny?” he asked, referring back to when you were smiling. “Huh?” you questioned. “When I was talking about the air ship, you smiled. Why?”

“Do you really think it’ll be that easy to steal an airship Mr. DeWitt?” you said, trying to hold back an amused laugh. He arched an eyebrow, “I’ve done harder thing than that, [Name]. Pretty sure I can steal an oversized balloon”

“You sure are cocky Booker” you said, shaking your head playfully as two of you continued your search for Elizabeth. You kind of expected her to be near the cotton candy stands but as you got there you realized you were wrong.

“Get a look at him ladies. It’s a crime for him not to be in a bathing suit” one of the women said, obviously finding Booker attractive. You frowned at her response and turned to see Booker with a confused expression. But now you were thinking about Booker in a swim suit.

But you didn’t have time to continue asking people since you heard some music near the dock and remembered what Elizabeth had said about going to see the music. “This way” you said pulling Booker along to the dock. As the two of you approached the dock the music was easier to hear and you saw a group of people dancing. Then you saw Elizabeth spinning in the middle as the rest of the group clapped to the rhythm of the music.

“Hey miss” Booker said trying to get her attention, but she kept dancing. “Miss! Could you just-“Booker was losing his patience and his voice was getting sterner. “Hey, I need you to stop” you sighed and stepped forward towards Elizabeth. “Elizabeth!” you said over the music to get her attention.

“Hello! Oh this is wonderful! Come dance with me Mr. and Mrs. DeWitt!”

“Elizabeth- WAIT! NO, I- I mean we aren’t- I’m not” You said frantically, trying to correct Elizabeth. But Booker ignored what she had said, “I don’t dance, and neither does [Name]”

“I can dance!” you said, not likening that he was making assumptions about you.

“Don’t give her a reason, besides we need to go” he said, boredom evident in his voice.
“Why?” Elizabeth laughed, “What could be better than this?” she questioned, as she spun around with her arms open. “Well…” Booker said trying to make something up. He saw the First Lady airship and an idea came to him, “How ‘bout Paris?” Your eyes widened at how low he was willing to go to get Elizabeth back to New York.

“Paris? I don’t understand- How could we get there?” Elizabeth asked obviously excited. Booker pointed behind her, his tone was cheerier as he was trying to convince Elizabeth “Well, it’s where that airship’s goin’, but if want to stay and dance we can-“

“No! Let’s go! C’mon let’s go! C’mon, let’s go right now!” She said dragging you and Booker behind her then did a few spins as she got the stairs and jogged ahead. You hit Booker in the ribs with your elbow and his eyes widened as he looked over at you, “PARIS?!” you hissed, “You are lying to that girl Booker! I didn’t think you were so cruel” you said frowning as the two of you trailed behind Elizabeth. “It needs to be done” he whispered back.

“Oh can you smell that?” Elizabeth asked dreamily, “I’ve never smelled anything like that before, have you?”

“Beaches I know don’t smell much like that” Booker replied. “Well aren’t you full of sunshine” you said sarcastically. Booker muttered something about what you had said but you merely smiled; after passing a group of men exercising, the three of you reached the gate that lead to the main boardwalk. But once you entered it revealed to some sort of gift shop that had propaganda of Comstock, patriotic dolls, George Washington figures and many other things that you didn’t really care for… except the fireworks.

“Comstock, I’ve read about him” Elizabeth said and you turned to look at her as Booker stepped through the gate, “They say he can see the future”

When she said that, you nearly snorted, but it ended up sounding like a sneeze. “Give a man a little power, he falls all kinds of love with himself Booker said gravely.

“I don’t like his look” Elizabeth said, sounding uncomfortable.

“Do you dislike the look of the Prophet?” a stout man that you assumed was the owner said. He was wearing, what looked to be, a barber outfit, like the quartets would wear. “Or his gaze?” he finished, sounding very creepy.

“Can we leave now?” Elizabeth asked, scooting closer to you. “Yeah lets go” you said, walking along at you glared at the owner, who backed up into the wall. Booker walked ahead and Elizabeth walked along side you.

“Mrs. DeWitt-“

“Let me stop you right there Elizabeth” You said, giving an awkward smile, “Booker and I are not married. And you can call me [Name], alright? I don’t like the whole Miss or ma’am thing. Too formal for me” you said, cracking a smile. Elizabeth nodded, “Sorry, it’s just that I- well you two uh never mind” he said twiddling with the thimble on her pinky finger.

“Don’t worry about it” you said, trying to comfort her.

Booker on the other hand had been listening of what you and Elizabeth had said. Married he thought to himself, Do we actually look like that? But then again it seems like a reasonable thing to think after a first impression But then he found himself think about how the two of you weren’t in fact married. He held the door open for you and Elizabeth. Elizabeth walked ahead and Booker beside you. He looked down at you and something seemed off about you. But you probably felt the same way about him.

“[Name]! Mr. DeWitt!”

“Booker” he corrected Elizabeth under his breathe.

“Look at these” she said refereeing to the pins that could be worn on her choker. Then you recognized the sellers; they were the twins from before. This was getting strange and you couldn’t help but feel fond of them. “Bird” the man said.

“Or the cage?” the woman finished. You smiled at their actions.

“Or perhaps the bird?”

“Nothing beats the cage”

“These two again” Booker complained next to you, “How do- Never mind”

Elizabeth picked the two boxes up and turned to show you and Booker, “Look at these, they’re amazing! Which one do you like more? This one? O-OR this?” she said enthusiastically. “The bird is beautiful and… cage is somber but there’s really something special about it. I just can’t deicide” she said looking back and forth, between you and Booker for an answer.

“[Name], you’re a girl” Booker as if though he was confirming it and looked over to you so you could answer the question for him.

“You keep having trouble processing that don’t you?” you said half annoyed, “I say the bird”

“You sure?” Elizabeth questioned.

“Yeah; seems more… you” you replied, not really answering properly. Elizabeth smiled then turned back to the man and the woman and placed the cage pin back on the cushion that the woman was holing and the empty box on the other. “I love it” Elizabeth cheered and she clipped it onto her choker and turned back to you so you could see it. “It looks lovely on you” you complimented as the man and the woman both gave a short bow and walked away.

“Surprising” you heard the woman say, “I expected the cage”

“If you’re going to be a sore loser, then I shan’t do this again” the man replied.

“Now that’s just sophistry” the scoffed.

You furrowed your eyebrows at what they had said; the three of you continued to walk and you looked over where they went but they weren’t there and there was no possible way of them leaving without being seen… unless they jumped into the artificial ocean and with how they act it seemed very likely to you. But you snapped out of your strange thoughts as you heard a man exclaim as he ran over to the railing of the boardwalk. You looked over and saw the tower Elizabeth had once been in, now practically destroyed by that bird creature.

“My God… look…” Elizabeth gasped, as she saw her tower.

“You alright?” Booker questioned, and you looked at him like, ‘how the hell do you think she’s alright?’.

“It was my home” Elizabeth said quietly.

Booker looked around uncomfortably at the panicked civilians then over to you and whispered, “We should get out of here” you nodded and tapped Elizabeth’s shoulder as Booker started to walk, “We should get going” you said, giving her a sympathetic smile. She nodded and walked with you down the wooden walk way.  Booker turned into an opening where there was line of people and police officers; your eyes widened and you hoped they wouldn’t recognize any of you. “Papers! No one’s getting through without their papers!” he shouted as you saw a small family getting their bags checked.

“Well, we ain’t getting through there” Booker muttered. You sighed and looked around if there was any other way to get through but then you saw Elizabeth walking over to another door, “I have just the thing, come on” she said gesturing with her hand for the two of you to fallow; she got to a door that was out of view of the officers and she bent down and took out a hair pin from her hair and started picking the lock.

“HEY OFFICERS!” a man slumped on the floor with an empty bottle shouted, an obvious slur in his voice, “THESE ONE’S LOOKS SUSPICIOUS THEY DO” he said loudly. You rolled your eyes and turned back to Booker and Elizabeth. “What are you doing?” Booker hissed at Elizabeth.

“You’re a roughish type” she whispered back, “What does it look like? Done!” she cheered as the door opened. “Where did you learn to pick locks?” Booker asked incredulously .

“Trapped in a tower with nothing but books and spare time? You’d be surprised with what I know how to do” she said smirking. You smiled in improvement and while Booker stared at the spot she was once standing like he had been hit in the face. “Come on roughish type” you said teased and patted his arm. He frowned slightly but then smiled and fallowed the two of you.
