8:35 P.M, Day One-The Beach
Zack and Cody were on the beach relaxing when London and Bailey came out of the forest and joined them.
"Hey," Bailey said to them, "How are you two feeling?"
"Better," They both said together.
"How are you two," Cody asked.
"Good," Bailey said as she sat next by the fire.
"Terrible," London said in no better mood at all, "I'm tired, I'm sticky, I swallowed a bug, and the Boat is still not back. Cody, where's the boat?"
"It's obviously not here," Cody said annoyed with London.
"Why not," London was frantic, "I can't stay here anymore."
Cody stared at London briefly, "London, it hasn't even been 24 hours. You know, and more importantly they know, that we always sneak off for some crazy reason. They probably assumed that we were goofing off somewhere on the ship when we didn't show up for class; they're probably just now realizing that we're not on the boat, which means they won't be here until late tomorrow."
"Don't tell me that," London grabbed Cody, "I don't want to hear that."
"Well," Cody said wishing for London to let go, "there's a chance they found out right away and they'll show up during the night."
"Fine," London let him go and she went and sat down staring at the horizon, "Then I'll sit here and wait."
"You're going to just sit there and stare at the horizon waiting for the boat," Cody was amazed by this, "London, that's like watching water boil."
"SHUT UP," London screamed before going completely silent staring at the horizon.
Cody just took a step back towards Zack and Bailey and whispered, "I think London's going off the deep end."
Bailey leaned in and whispered back, "what was your first hint? I'm taking a nap."
Bailey went to lie down while Zack and Cody went back to doing nothing.

8:30 A.M, Day One, The S.S. Tipton, Classroom
Miss Tutweiller was taking attendance, "Woody."
"Here," Woody answered.
Miss Tutweiller continued with the roll count, "Cody."
There was no answer, she looked to see that he wasn't there; Cody hasn't missed a single class all year, and now with no explanation he's absent. Miss Tutweiller also at that moment realized that London, Zack, and Bailey were also missing, "Where are Cody, Bailey, Zack, and London?"
Woody realized that she was talking to him, "Not here."
"I can see that," Miss Tutweiller obviously believed that Woody was covering for them, "I'm asking you where they are."
"I don't know," Woody said telling the truth, he wasn't included in Zack's plan to get on the island.
"I'll be right back," Miss Tutweiller left the room to go talk to Moseby about the missing students.
Mr. Moseby was relaxing in his office, taking a break from work for a bit, when Miss Tutweiller came into the office, "They're not in class."
"Who," Moseby asked.
"Who would you think," Miss Tutweiller wasn't being specific but she didn't mean to be.
"Oh," Moseby caught on, "Zack and London, don't worry they're probably still mad about not being able to go to the island."
"Cody and Bailey are also absent," that statement took Moseby completely by surprise.
"What," He finally got up, showing concern, "All four of them are not in class."
"No," Miss Tutweiller replied.
Moseby thought for a bit, "How long did you wait for them to show up?"
Miss Tutweiller was silent for a moment, "I didn't."
"There you go," Moseby was relieved, "Maybe they were just late; let's go back and see if they're back."
The two of them went to the door of the classroom and looked in to see that they had yet entered the class.
"They're still not there," Miss Tutweiller was starting to panic.
"Oh god," Mr. Moseby was also panicking, "Do you know what this means? It means that Zack and London are up to no good in some plan for revenge."
Miss Tutweiller stared at him as if he was crazy, "Are you serious?"
"Look," Mr. Moseby answered making a point, "you have no idea the kind of damage Zack and London can cause when their mad about something; we have to find them."
"What about Cody and Bailey," Miss Tutweiller asked not bothering with Moseby's paranoia.
"Oh," Moseby didn't give it a lot of thought, "don't worry about them, just check all the beds."
Moseby was of course referring to Cody and Bailey sleeping in the same bed, he was convinced that something did happen. The two them then began what would be an all day search.
-----------------------------------
6:45 P.M Moseby's office
Miss Tutweiller entered Moseby's office, "They're not here."
"If they were in here I would see them," Moseby obviously didn't get what she was saying.
"No," Miss Tutweiller was really panicking now, "They're not on the boat."
Moseby looked at her shocked, "What?"
"We looked all over the ship," Miss Tutweiller was breathing fast, "we couldn't find them; we then saw that one of the small motor boats is missing. They went to the island during the night and we left them there. We marooned four students."
"Oh my God," Moseby got out his cell, "I'll call the captain; just relax."
"Ok," she started to take deep breathes while Moseby called the captain.
"Hello Captain," Moseby said to the phone, "we need to go back to that island, we left some students on it…the same reason you needed to care the last time I asked you to do this, one of them is London Tipton."
The boat began to turn but then it shook with what sounded like an explosion. Moseby went back to talking to the captain, "What happened…I'll wait… (To Miss Tutweiller) He's finding out… (back on the phone) Captain…what…how long…ok well thank you."
"What," Miss Tutweiller asked as Moseby hanged up the phone.
"You see," Moseby explained, "we've been running the engines at full speed to get to Spain on time and the attempt to turn caused them to…break down, but the captain said it can be fix."
"How long," Miss Tutweiller asked concerned for her students.
Mr. Moseby was reluctant to answer, "We won't be able to get back until the day after tomorrow."
"Oh my God," Miss Tutwiller was concerned, "can they last that long."
"They'll have to."
----------------------------------
10:35 P.M The Beach
Zack, Cody, and Bailey were eating by the fire, a last snack before going to sleep. They were worn out after the day they each had; from Zack's hand, Cody's back, and Bailey's issue with London, they were all done for the day. They were ready to go to sleep and end the day.
"I'm rather concerned her," Cody said referring to London who was still sitting staring at the horizon, "she's been sitting there like that for exactly two hours, she hasn't moved a muscle. I'm think she may be on the brink of a breakdown."
"What do you think she's been having all day," Bailey said pointing out what a pain she's been.
"Not an emotional breakdown like she's been having," Cody explained, expressing his concerns, "I mean a 'mental' breakdown; I think she's going through some sort of withdrawal."
"From what," Zack asked in disbelief, "being rich?"
"Yeah," Bailey agreed, "you can't get addicted to being rich."
Cody laughed, "Well, apparently you can; probably the same way one gets addicted to gambling or porn. I seriously think she can completely lose it."
Zack was now getting concerned, "what happens when she loses it?"
"I don't know," Cody answered, "but if the Ship doesn't come back tomorrow, I think we'll all be in trouble."
Author's Note:
Here's Chapter 13, we see what happened on the Tipton during day 1 and know we begin to she London reach 'The Brink'; will she snap, just wait and see. I have the sequel all planned out, so I just need to finish this story. I would like to thank Alex for pointing out the Dialog mistake I made in the first chapter, I fixed it. Please Review
New Story Alert:
I began a new story: Pokemon-The Prince of Darkness. I don't how many of you are interested in Pokemon, but I would appreciate it if you would read the story; it has a lot of sentimental value to me as it is the first story I EVER came up with and I would love to read what you think of it.(if you choose to read it.
