Sorry for not updating fer two weeks. I went to camp last week, and I guess I kinda put this off until now. This is when the action starts to begin!
I duth not owneth Invader Zim.

Dib rubbed his forehead and groaned. Whatever shook the ship so badly caused Dib to fall off his bed. After forcing himself off the floor, the first thing he immediently noticed was that he could hear a few faint screams beneath him, mostly men. Something was wrong. He sat himself on his bed and stared at the floor. He knew he couldn't do anything about it anyway, since Zim locked him inside his room, and would be set on fire if he even touched the doornob. Luckily, his room had a bathroom and he just splashed water on his sleeve the last time.
Whatever was going on, he'd just have to wait and see what happens.

The hallway was dead silent for a few moments. Then, they could hear the screams. Zim and Dizzy carefully got on their feet, daring not to make a sound. Soon, Zim broke the silence. In a shakey voice, he asked; "...What was that?"
Dizzy took a deep breath. "I... I don't know. Should we go see outside..?"
Zim Pulled himself together. It was just a loud bump, right? Right. He faced himself towards Dizzy.
"Sigh... Alright. Just to prove to you it was nothing, we will go investigate outside." Truth was, Zim was just as interested in the shockwave as Dizzy was.
"Mr. Andrews, is it serious?"
Mr. J Bruce Ismay, Thomas Andrews and Captain Edward John Smith were looking over a diagram of the Titanic. Frederick Fleet (lookout) explained to Captain Smith that he had spotted an iceburg right ahead of the ship, but apparently he hadn't spotted it fast enough to warn the captain. The captain tried turning the ship away from the ice burg, hoping to get out of the way before they collided, but failed. The iceburg damaged the ships starboard, and water was flowing inside from the #6 boiler room and 1-5 cargo rooms. They are discussing this now.
"I am afraid so." Mr. Andrews replied. "The starboard is damaged badly, and the ocean water is penetrating the ship now as we speak." Mr. Andrews pointed to the cargo rooms and the boiler room. "If the water continues to penetrate these rooms, The ship will..."
There was a dead silence.
"...it will sink."
Ismay stood in shock. He turned to Mr. Andrews; "Sink? This ship cannot sink! It's... It is the unsinkable!"
"Sir, this ship weighs 38,760 tons, it can and will sink."
Another dead silence. Captain Smith and Bruce Ismay were speechless.
"... How much time?" Captain Smith asked.
"Approximately... Two hours." Andrews replied.
No one had anything else to say.
-
Dizzy raced to the outside. Zim folowed quickly out of eagerness, and to try and keep up. He held a fishing pole in his arms, with Gir holding on to the line. When they finally made it outside, the outcome shocked them all.
Nothing was happening.
Zim sighed out of relief. "See? Nothing. Everything is fine."
Dizzy didn't say anything. Though she was relieved nothing was going on, she still had a feeling in her irken gut that something was not right.
"Can we please get back to our room now? Our mission is complete, so all we need to do now is wait until this horrible ship docks in New York."
Dizzy nodded in agreement. But as they walked through the hallways to her room, she couldn't take her mind off of that feeling that something bad was happening. The closer they came to their room, the further they went beneath the ship, fear would build more and more in her mind. It was like they were coming closer and closer to whatever horrid thing was going on. She pretended to listen to Zim's 'speech of success' as they walked, but her mind was elswhere.
"Zim," She said, staring at the floor, "Do you really think nothing bad is going on?"
There was no answer. Dizzy was scared out of her skin at that moment. She's seen the movies - Whenever someone doesn't answer a question they ask, something bad is bound to happen.
"...Z-Zim..?" She turned around. What she saw almost gave her a heart attack.
A huge wave of water was pumbling toward them.

A/N: So sorry for the short chapter! But I wanted to stop there to make it more suspensful, and so you could look foreward to the next chapter.
Okaym this chapter in a nutshell - The ship is now sinking. Dizzy and Zim have a bad feelings within themselves, thou Zim won't admit it. Will they survive that huge wave of water?
Oh yes, and Dib is still trapped in his room!!!
