Here is my first Suite Life On Deck fanfiction. This is a Lody story. I just started liking this pairing after I saw Break up in Paris. I loved that episode. I just think it was cute how he wanted London to go on the practice date with him :). I do not own any of these characters or the show.

Summary: When London's father receives London's report card, he is fed up with her low grades. He tells London that she has to get better grades or he will take away her credit cards. When she has no other choice, she looks for the smartest person she knows to tutor her. That person is…Cody. What will happen with these two when they start to get closer with all the tutoring sessions?

Chapter 1

London Tipton wasn't ever the smartest girl. She never took her grades seriously. She just kept thinking that she could get by in life by her looks and money. One phone call from her father changed her mind about school and her grades.

London was just sitting in her and her roommate, Bailey's room. She was sitting on her bed, painted her nails when her cell phone rang near her bed. She sighed before putting the cover back on the nail polish bottle and picked up her pink, sparkly cell phone and answered it.

"Hello, the fabulous London Tipton speaking." London said cheerfully.

"Hey Pumpkin, how are you?" Her rich father replied from the other line.

"Oh, hey daddy, I'm great, how about you?" She asked while holding her cell phone between her cheek and shoulder as she went back to painting her nails.

"I'm great sweetheart. Um, listen. I need to talk to you." Her father said, sounding more serious then ever.

"You silly, Dad, we are talking." London said, dumbly stating the obvious.

"I know sweetie, but I mean, I need to talk to you for a reason." Her Dad said.

"Okay daddy, what's up?" London asked, waiting for the reply.

"Hum, I received your report card today in the mail…" He paused.

"And?" London asked, not really interested.

"Listen honey. Your grades have dropped dramatically and I fear that you're going to fail another year. You've already failed grade eight, and I don't want you to fail again." Her father started to explain.

"What are you trying to say?" London asked, as she stopped painting her nails.

"What I am trying to say London, is that you need to get all your marks up to at least a B for the next report card. I need you to get a tutor or else I will have no choice but to take away your allowance and credit cards for awhile." Mr. Tipton ordered.

"But Daddy..." London started to whine.

"No buts London. I have to go now darling, but you have to promise me that you would get a tutor soon." Her father said.

"Yes father." She said with a bored tone.

"Okay sweetie, talk to you soon. Love you."

"Love you to Dad." London said as she hung up. She groaned loudly as she sat up on her bed and pouted.

Just then, the door to her room opened, it was her roommate, Bailey.

"Hey, London" Bailey said in a happy voice as she went to sit on her bed.

"Hi." London said, sounding upset.

"Are you okay London? You don't sound like your normal self." Bailey realized.

"Daddy just phoned and said I need to find a tutor to help me bring up my grades or else he'll take away my credit cards and allowances. I can't go a day without my babies. I tried once, but it was useless." London explained.

"It'll be okay London."

"Wait, you're smart. Can you tutor me?" London asked in a cheerful, hopeful voice.

"Sorry London. I would but I'm already tutoring Zack and Woody." Bailey said.

"Shoot. I need a smarticle person." London said, getting back to her upset tone.

Bailey rolled her eyes and thought for a moment "Okay, maybe Cody could help." Bailey suggested.

"Maybe… You're his girlfriend; can you ask him for me?" London asked.

"What won't you ask him yourself?" Bailey asked.

London rolled her eyes "Fine…I'll ask him now." She said while she got up off her bed and walked towards the door. "Where is he?" London asked before turning to look at Bailey again.

"He's on the sky deck." Bailey told her.

"Okay, bye." London said as she walked out.

Five minutes later, London got to the sky deck and saw Cody at the towel table he worked at. She walked over to him and cleared her throat to her his attention.

Cody looked at London and gave her a friendly smile "Hey London, what are you doing?"

"I need a favor." London said.

Cody shrugged "Sure London. What do you need?" He asked.

"Well, My Dad called and said I need to get all my grades up in all my classes to at least a B on my next report card or he will take away my credit cards and allowance. He told me to get a tutor. So will you be my tutor?"London explained.

"Sure London. I'll tutor you. When should we start?" Cody agreed.

"Let's say, tomorrow after school." London suggested.

"Sure London… sounds great."Cody agreed again.
