As the voyage continued, everyone was no longer thinking of anything except the wonder of Lusitania. Andrea Doria however overheard more sinkings in the area the ship would be going for but she thought they'd change course and kept the secret silent. However Lusitania now was scared out of her wits; the ship's only going to get closer to the danger zone and how would Mauretania and Aquitania react if their older sister was shot down by a torpedo or a mine?! She decided to let it go and walk around.
During the night of May 6, everyone decided to sleep outside due to the fear of a U-boat attack during the night however nothing happened so they slept peacefully until the slight rays of dawn appeared indicating that it was morning. Majestic and Berengaria woke up bright and early and brought out breakfast for everyone. Everyone else arose around 8am and ate quickly. Aquitania unfortunately was disappointed about not being able to see Ireland from where they were because of fog. By the time noon rolled around, the sun burned off the fog and the beautiful coast finally revealed itself. At 1:30pm they went inside to eat for the last time.
Dessert came at around 2pm; Lusitania happily dug in for it was pudding which she adores. As she ate, some of the group including Emily, Titanic, Aquitania, and Hindenburg decided to walk along deck as time ticked away. Homeric and the others would join them soon after. Finally at 2:10pm Lusitania now stuffed to the skin ran over to the rest and looked out at the stunning beauty of the ocean. However Mauretania noticed something odd; a bubble of shear hugeness popped and then a trail of bubbles starting from where the big bubble once was suddenly shot towards the Lusitania in frightening speeds.
"That reminds me of Bubblia the mermaid!" Titanic stated to everyone else but just at the same moment, someone on the bridge noticed the trail too and right away knew what it was. Leviathan copied his warning and shouted it to the rest, "Torpedo closing on the starboard bow!!!" She shrieked to the crowd which in turn gathered to the side of the ship to watch. Lusitania now was hysterical running around in circles pulling her hair to which Titanic had to smack her to snap her out of it. Mauretania and Aquitania however jumped into the water to hopefully stop it from destroying their sister.
"So how do we stop it?!" Mauretania asked Aquitania as both switched to their mermaid form.
"Uh…………. I don't know!" She answered back and as it came dangerously close to hitting both of them, they finally decided to return to the surface.
Meanwhile Lusitania and Olympic ordered everyone to take cover inside because of risk of debris falling on them.
Aquitania and Mauretania managed to jump out just before the torpedo made contact; a plume of water followed and boosted Mauretania and Aquitania back onto the ship.
Everyone else ducked expecting an explosion and seconds later it came. Republic thought it sounded like 'all the glass in the world breaking at the same time' and as they saw the water and the debris tumbled down, a second explosion followed which baffled Mauretania and Aquitania which had just found the group huddling in a corner.
"2 TORPEDOES?!" Lusitania shrieked in disbelief. "No! We only saw one." Mauretania reassured her but she was unconvinced. Titanic however ran off to their cabins and returned with lifebelts which everyone quickly put on except Lusitania. "I gotta go to the bathroom…" she whispered to Britannic nearby. "OK but try and hurry up. There's a slight list to starboard and it's bound to get worse." Lusitania then ran inside with her lifebelt dragging behind her. "Please hurry… this ship's not going to last long…"
Part 2. Que the torpedo! Never a good sign when when it slams into Lusitania. And we shall sink again! :XD:
Also mentioned Bubblia for a split second.

Part 3's coming
