AN: Hey there! So I know that this story has been attempted but I wanted to try. I've had this chapter written for weeks but only managed to upload till now. Enjoy!

Chapter 1

Zack and Cody stood in the lobby of the ship with their bags beside them. Bailey too was there along with Woody, bags in check. They each handed back their cabin keys and waited for London. Zack and Cody were being brought home by London seeing as they were going to the same place. Bailey was staying with them for a week before returning to home to Kettlecorn, staying in London's suite. It had surprised everyone when London offered, not least to Bailey. But it was an extra week with her Cody-kins and she wasn't about to pass up the offer. Cody too was pleased.

"Oh there's my mom, and my dad and my whole family...guess I have to go!" Woody said as he picked up his bags looking around for London to say goodbye. "We'll tell her you said goodbye!" Cody assured him.

"See ya Woodster!" Zack said shaking his hand and giving him a small pat on the shoulder. Cody too patted his shoulder with a small goodbye and Bailey gave him a small smile and a quick hug. He waved back as his car drove off leaving the twins and Bailey waiting. After another 5 minutes London appeared. Walking straight past the three and down the stairs, they quickly gathered their things and followed. She was about to get into the limo when Bailey called after her.

"Eh London? You do know we're coming with you right?" Bailey said making sure. London looked at her for a moment before saying "No!" And going to into the limo. This time Zack called.

"Wait! London, Mr. Moseby told us that you were giving us a ride to the Tipton! How else are we going to get there?" London shrugged and again went to get into the limo, closing the door this time. However the driver did get out.

"You must be Ms. Tipton's friends! Mr. Moseby informed me you were coming!" Walking forward to take Bailey's bags and put them in the car along with Cody's and Zack's. The three climbed into the limo to be greeted by London "What took you so long?" Letting the comment slide the three settled down for the drive to The Tipton and home.

When they arrived the driver opened the door to allow them out and immediately Cody and Zack were engulfed in a hug from their mother. "Oh I missed you boys so much!" Smothering them in kisses and squeezing them until Zack patted her shoulder and said "Mom...need...breath!" Quickly letting they go though not completely still holding them each by an arm. "You have no idea how good it is to have you guys back! It's been to lonely here without you!" Again pulling them into a hug though not as bone-crushing as the last, allowing them to return it.

"Missed you too mom!" Cody said. Looking back at the now silent Bailey Cody held out his hand and led her forward "And mom this is Bailey Pickett. Bailey this is our mom Carey!" Bailey smiled and waved "Hey Mrs. Martin. It's nice to meet you!" Carey walked forward and hugged Bailey lightly. "Nice to meet you Bailey. Cody has told me so much about you. You're as beautiful as he said!" Bailey blushed and turned to get her stuff from the limo. London was standing by the car checking herself in her pocket mirror.

"Hey London!" Carey said. London looked up. "Hey lady I called..."

"Carey! I've known you for nearly 5 years. Boy I have to go rehearse but I promise we'll catch up later!" Kissing each of them again before heading into the hotel. Zack and Cody grabbed their bags and headed inside while Bailey's were loaded with London's to be taken to her suite. As they enter the hotel the boys heard their names.

"Your back!" Mattie said as she reached them. Pulling both boys into a hug and Bailey too. "London!" Mattie said giving her best friend a hug. London looked confused at first. "London it's me! Mattie!"

"Mattie!" Giving her a hug. "I didn't recognise you. You've changed your hair and got nice clothes!" It was true had cut her hair roughly lower than her shoulder and was no longer in her candy counter uniform. "Thanks so you guys have to tell me everything!"

"Why don't you girls head up to London's suite while Cody and me put our bags in our room" Zack suggested. All agreed and the 5 friends got in the elevator letting Zack and Cody out on the 23rd floor. Bailey gave Cody a quick kiss and as soon as the door closed Mattie started asking questions.

Meanwhile Zack opened the door to their suite. It felt odd being back here not that it wasn't great. One thing that both realised together was they would be sharing a room again, for the summer at least. "It's weird we haven't shared a room in nearly a year!"

"I haven't shared a room at all!" Zack said lying down on his bed. There room hadn't changed much except some of their personal possessions which they had taken with them left spaces around the room. One thing that did remain was a photo of their old basketball team when Arwin was their coach. Zack picked up the photo and blew off a slight bit of dust.

"Hey Cody check it out" he said walking over to his twin's bed. Cody looked at the picture and smiled. He had not until this moment realised how much he missed his friends back in Boston. "Seems like ages ago!" Zack said looking a slightly younger version of him. A lot had happened since this photo. He too missed his friends. His eyes rested on one in particular and he smiled sadly before putting the photo back and heading to the kitchen. Cody followed.

"Maybe we should try and meet up with some of them. I mean we could ring Bob and find out!" Cody said leaning by the counter. Zack shrugged "Sure why not? Lets head up to London's!" and the twins left the apartment.

.

London, Bailey and Mattie had been sitting in London's living room, chatting and gossiping. "I'm so glad you and Cody got together!" Mattie said smiling at Bailey.

"Me too for a while there I thought he would never ask me!" Bailey said. London scoffed "That's Cody for you." Both Mattie and Bailey gave her quizzing looks before they were interrupted by a knock on the door. "Come in" Mattie yelled. The door opened to reveal the twins. It was now Mattie got to see how much they changed. Cody was no longer the small one standing nearly 2 inches over Zack. Zack had more body mass then Cody. Hair styles were identical but both had their fringes tossed the opposite way, Cody's right and Zack's left. "So what did we miss?" Zack asked "Besides me!"

"Not much" Mattie said rolling her eyes playfully at Zack. "Although congrats Cody I hear you and Bailey are finally together" Cody smiled and sat beside Bailey. They spent the next few hours chatting and catching up. They discovered that Mattie was still going to catholic school but boys were allowed to attend now. She was still working as a candy counter girl but was told if she could get enough A's her college tuition would be paid for by a grant. "I couldn't believe it! I always thought I'd never go to college...oh sorry!" Her phone had started ringing. Quickly standing she answered the phone.

"Hello? Oh hey. I'm up in London's suite. Yea she just got back. Come on up. 'k see you soon!" Ending the call she sat back down. "Who was that?" London asked. "Oh just a friend..." There was a knock at the door and Zack being the closest stood up. Opening the door, there stood a boy about 18 with brown hair and hazel eyes. He was slightly taller than Zack and more built too. He was pushed aside by Mattie who hugged him and pulled him into the suite.

"Guys this is Noah, Noah this is Zack, Cody, Bailey and London!" Something about Noah was familiar to Zack but he couldn't place it. Noah said his hi's and sat down. London was looking at him with big eyes and nudged Mattie saying he was gorgeous. Bailey too couldn't help look at him but noticing Cody's expression squeezed his hand drawing his attention to her. She smiled and he relaxed. London took Mattie's hand pulling her towards her room saying she had a present for her. Leaving the boys Bailey followed.

"So...Noah!" Zack started. It surprised him when he felt nothing when Mattie hugged the handsome teen in front of him. Guess I'm over her! He thought to himself. "Do you go to school with Mattie?"

"Yea I was new this year and she talked to me. I use to live here before but we moved when my dad got a new job. But he and my mom split so I'm back here with her and my sister, Maxine"

"Oh cool, so when did you guys move?" Cody asked. He too got the feeling that they knew Noah. "About 2 years ago!" They were again interrupted by a phone going off this time however it was Noah's. "'scuse me...Hey kid! No just out with Mattie. Pick you up sure. How about you walk to the Tipton and I can give you a ride from there...ok See you soon!" turning to the boys he apologised. He then called Mattie. She came out hearing her name. "I have to give my sis a lift home. How about I get us some Pizza on the way back?"

"Sure! Hey why don't you guys go with him?" Mattie said looking at the twins. Nodding Cody said goodbye to Bailey and the three left. They arrived in the Lobby a few minutes later when Noah realised he lost his phone. Recalling the elevator he told the twins he would be back and if he saw a girl with brown hair their age tell he'll be right back.

The boys waited while Noah went back upstairs and Zack kept an eye out for this brunette. After a couple of minutes a girl wearing a sports jersey tied at the back revealing her midrift slightly and her hair hanging loosely around her shoulders blocking her face. Zack quickly fixed his hair and walked over to her.

"Hey there!" She made a movement like she was tempted to look up but didn't. But before he could say anything Cody called him. This time the girl looked up. "Zack?"
