Jonny stirred and slowly sat himself up. He was still clinging to Plank. It was dark all around him.
The lights blinked on and off allowing the kids to be able to see what they could around them. The first thing Eddy came face to face with was a body.
The light went back out.
Eddy made a move to try and lift himself to his feet, but he touched someone else. Were they unconscious or dead?
His heart began pounding. There were other people around him, but it felt as if he were alone. What the heck happened?
The lights came on once more.
There were kids who were injured, crying or calling out for one another. This gave him time to look all around the room. The tables were above him and the windows now showed the ocean.
"Eddy!" Eddy was almost being suffocated in Ed's grip. "I'm so glad you're okay!"
"I'd say the same, lumpy, but you're squeezing my stomach out of me!"
"Where's Double D, Eddy?"
Eddy scanned his surroundings once more. He didn't want to think about anything bad happening to Edd. Or the other kids. Was this ship able to turn back over on its own? The questions were flooding Eddy's mind when he noticed the girl in front of him wasn't breathing.
Marie picked herself up and made sure she could stand. She hit her head on something, making it hurt to the touch.
Before she could think of anything she saw Edd piled under a bunch of people.
"Get off of him!" she yelled at the unconscious people. She picked up her boyfriend and lightly tapped his face. His chest still moved up and down, a good sign. Marie stared at the boy. He looked so peaceful when he was asleep. There was something about him that was different. Maybe this was the first time he wasn't looking at her in a scared way.
Edd made a groan, much to Marie's relief and slowly began to open his eyes.
"Speak to me, Double D, are you alright?"
Eddy's eyes burst open at the sight of who was in front of him. He relaxed when he saw that she didn't have that amorous look in her eyes. She was scared just like him.
Before he answered her, he noticed a familiar hand that was sticking out from s hole that was once the ceiling.
Edd scrambled to his feet and ran over to Nadine. He breathed a sigh of relief when he felt a pulse.
Her eyes fluttered open and she stared up at him. "Edd, what happened?"
Edd wasn't used to someone saying his own name and for a moment hesitated to answer. "I think we've turned over. Do you think you can stand?"
The moment she put weight on both her arms Nadine yelled out in pain.
Edd covered his mouth at the sight of Nadine's arm. A bone was sticking out and blood was spreading everywhere.
Nadine almost began hyperventilating, but Edd made her look away so he could do his work. He didn't have the right tools from his medical kit, but at least he knew how to set it.
Marie's face fired up even more. So if she were hurt, he'd notice her?
May sat up looking everywhere. It was dark all around her. She stood up on her shaking legs. Nothing was broken, good. The hallway didn't look any different, other then the lights being on the floor.
Which way did she come from the ballroom? It had to be right. The right was always best, that's what her mother told them when they were little.
Her sisters hadn't come looking for her. No surprise.
May saved the fight for later and followed the hallways back to the ballroom.
"Sarah, Sarah, where are you? Ed is here wherever you are, baby sister!"
The cul-de-sac kids relocated one another and stayed in a group. Eddy sat with Edd who watched closely over Nadine. Edd noticed how Eddy sat close to him. He noticed how Eddy would sit close to one of them whenever he was scared or unsure. This was better then talking because he was never good with talking about his feelings.
"Yo, Nazz, where are you?" Kevin called out.
Eddy bounced up realizing that he forgot about his girlfriend.
"Yeah, babycakes, where are you?"
"Eddy, help!" Nazz called out.
Kevin and Eddy looked around. There was no sign of Nazz anywhere.
"I'm up here!"
They looked up to see Nazz dangling from a table. Her dress was caught and if she made the slightest movement she'd hear a ripping noise.
"Don't worry, Nazz. I'll get you down." Kevin said.
"Don't listen to him! I'll get you down!" Eddy said partly shoving Kevin.
"Alright, so how do we do it?" Kevin growled at Eddy.
Eddy inwardly groaned. Why did he still do this to himself?
Suddenly the dress ripped and Nazz began falling to the floor. Both Eddy and Kevin gasped and ran around trying to make the exact point of where she make impact.
The two boys slammed into one another and fell dozed to the ground.
"Um... guys..." Nazz said in despair.
"Oh, Sarah! Sarah!" Ed called extending his arms.
Nazz landed in Ed's arms. "Oh, Ed, thank you for catching me..."
"Say where you are, baby sister! Ed is coming!" Ed screamed dropping Nazz.
Nazz sat up rubbing her head and rolled her eyes. Eddy helped her up. "See, babe, I told you I'd get you down."
"Everyone stay where you are!" The Captain announced holding his bleeding arm. They all decided to save their energy and sat around in the wreckage.
"Jimmy? Hello?" Sarah crawled out from a sea of darkness, but the little light that was present was barely enough.
She realized that she standing on someone and got off, but was standing on another.
Sarah suddenly had the taste of blood in her mouth. She dabbed her lip to feel a wet sensation along the side.
"Jimmy?"
Her voice was trembling. Nobody was moving. There were groans here and there, but nobody showed signs of being alive.
"Sarah?"
"Jimmy, where are you?"
"O-Over here..."
Jimmy hand was sticking up. Sarah stumbled through all the bodies to her fallen friend. She struggled to move the person off from him. Usually Sarah didn't have any trouble picking up someone who was bigger then her.
"Are you okay?" Sarah said noticing how her voice was trembling.
"My leg..."
Sarah took one glance and looked away. She unraveled the bow in her hair and slowly wrapped it around the leg. It would help for now, but she needed Edd's medical assistance. He always knew how to take care of these kind of wounds.
"Sarah, I want to go home..." Jimmy whined.
"We will, Jimmy. I'll-I'll..."
They were alone in this world. This was the first time she noticed that everything was upside down.
This was the worst time she ever went against her brother. Not only her brother, but her parents too. They said to listen to Ed. She disobeyed everyone she loved and got herself into this mess. There was nobody alive to help her through this. They may be the only ones alive on this whole ship.
"Sarah... ow, it hurts..."
"Shh, don't talk, Jimmy. Just rest."
Sarah cradled her injured best friend. The tears fell from her eyes. She put Jimmy in danger. He always relied on her. And when he trusted her, Sarah did too.
She cried as they sat alone on the darkness.
