The S.S. Tipton continued shaking violently. Windows were cracking, people were flying everywhere, and the chandelier in Tipton Cuisine was about ready to fall right off of the ceiling. The gang and the rest of the diners were all still freaking out. People were all worried about an earthquake at sea. Which was highly unlikely.
"How is this possible?" Bailey shouted through all of the comotion.
"I have no idea!" Woody said.
"O.k. everyone just calm down!" Cody shouted between all of the noise.
"How can we calm down? There's a freakin earthquale going on!" Addison stated.
"People! Please! It will be over before we know it!" Cody said.
"Codes, it's been like this for the past ten minutes now! There is something going on!" Zack said as he felt the waves get higher and higher rocking the boat back and forth in between the huge earthquake.
"Zack does have a point! An earthquake never lasts this long!" Cody said.
"This one does!" Bailey shouted as she grabbed hold of everyone's hand.
"Should we fear for the worst?" Woody said.
"What else could happen?" Zack asked.
"Look, maybe there's something in the water that's causing this." Woody said.
"Like what?" Cody asked.
"I don't know a sea monster?" Woody asked.
"Please...we all know." Bailey began.
Everyone began shrieking with terror once again as the lights went out in the restaurant. The entire boat had lost it's power. Everyone was definately freaked out now. They needed a way to stay safe.
"Ladies and gentleman. Sorry for this interuption. But we have got news that a more dangerpous threat is on it's way to the S.S. Tipton. Please report back to the nearest cabin immediately. I repeat report back to the nearest cabin immediately!" Mr. Mosby said over the P.A. System.
"What else could possibly happen?" Zack asked.
"Who knows?" Cody said. "In the meantime lets head over to our cabin. It's the closest." Cody said while everyone nodded.
The Maitre"D told them that dinner was on the house for everyone that evening since they were all trying to run to their cabins while trying to keep their balance. The Tipton Cuisine had some really bad damage. But of course Mr. Tipton was going to take care of that.
The group finally made it into the twins room. Zack and Cody went to look for everything that they would need for the night. They knew judging by the waves that something big was about to hit the boat and they needed to be prepared for whatever that might be. Zack and Cody returned ten minutes later with blankets, pillows, flashlights, and an abandoned emergency kit similar to the one they had when they were lost at sea. Everyone groaned at that. But, at least it was food. That was how they spent the rest of the evening.
Everyone was spread out on the floor talking while eating all of the jerkey. Cody managed to sneak back up to the restaurant to bring back some leftovers from the dinner. Even though he almost got nailed by the chandelier which had officially fallen off. The ship still continued to shake. It was so odd. Finally, after about an hour after it had started it offivially stopped.
"O.k. that was a really freaky experience." Zack said.
"I'll say." Cody said as Bailey snuggled closer to him.
"I'm just glad that the damage is done." Bailey said.
'I have a feeling it's far from over though." Stephanie said as she sat on Nathan's lap in one of the twins desk chairs.
"That is true. Like the saying says "it's always the clam before the storm." " Addison added.
The waves continued to get bigger and bigger as the early evening progressed. It was something that the gang had been worried about. What if something bad was going to happen.
"You guys." Cody began.
"What is it bro?"
"If something bad does happen...we need to stick together as a group." Cody said.
"Your right. If the worst does happen, nobody gets left behind." Zack said.
"Because we've only got each other." Bailey added.
"And if we do get separated we won't stop till we find the others." Addison said.
"We're a strong team. So we can face this." Nathan said.
"Yeah!" Everyone said while they were once again knocked sideways by the waves.
"Man, these waves are getting bigger and bigger!" Zack said through all of the screaming being heard in the halls.
"I just hope everything is o.k." Bailey said.
As the night wore on the waves continued to grow bigger and bigger. The S.S. Tipton crew was really getting worried about the supposed threat sent out by the port offices. They couldn't confirm what it was. But judging by the waves, it was definately something big. What they didn't know was that a giant tsunami was making it's way towards the ship determined to destroy the ship in it's path.
