I don't own the Suite Life of Zack and Cody. You probably already knew that though, right? If not, I'm kinda worried for you!


Lena Green walked into the Tipton Hotel, her eyes open in wonder and excitement. She pulled her suitcase along, amazed that she was going to be there for two whole weeks! She walked up to the front desk to sign in. She tugged on her white lace camisole and said, "Excuse me?" The manger turned around and smiled.

"Hello! I'm Mr. Moseby. May I be of assistance?"

"Umm…I'm Lena Green…"

"Ohh…of course, Ms. Green. Here's your room key, room 211 on the 23rd floor."

"Thank you, sir." Lena smiled and rolled her suitcase over to the candy counter. "Hi, um…do you have gum?"

The blonde haired teen turned and flashed Lena a smile. "Yes, we have spearmint, original, wintergreen…"

"Can I have original please?" Lena said as she put down 65 cents for the gum.

"Here you go!" The employee chirped as she took Lena's money and handed her the gum.

"Thank you." Lena said as she headed to the elevator. She pressed up button and waited for the elevator to come. When the elevator finally came, two blonde haired boys roller-bladed passed her. She jumped back in surprise. One of the boys tripped and grabbed her bag by mistake. She crashed down with the boy. "Ow…" she moaned. "Just great…I come here for a dance competition and I almost twist my ankle. Madame isn't going to be happy." She got up slowly as Mr. Moseby came over and yelled at the boys. Lena took a step to see if her ankle was okay. She turned to Mr. Moseby. "Don't worry. I'm fine. Please don't be mad, it was an accident." The she walked into the elevator and rode it up to her room.

Mr. Moseby continued yelling at Zack and Cody. "That girl is here for a nation-wide dance competition! If she had twisted her ankle, you boys would have been in very, very big trouble. Especially since she's one of the favorites to win!" He stormed off to go help another guest, and Cody stood up. He noticed something shiny on the floor and picked it up. It was a room key for room 211. He gasped and pressed the button for the elevator.

"What are you doing!" Zack asked.

"This is that girl's room key! I have to go return it!" Cody yelled at his brother as he stepped in the elevator and took a ride up to the 23rd floor.


Sure as rain, Cody saw the brown-haired girl he'd knocked down standing outside room 211. She was close to tears as she looked through her bag for the key. Cody tapped her on the shoulder. She jumped and said in a stuffy voice, "yes?" He handed her his room key and said, "I found this on the floor. You must have dropped it when I bumped into you…by the way, sorry about that." She jumped up, grabbed the key, and gave him a hug. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She unlocked her room. "My name's Lena, by the way."

"Mine's Cody."

"Nice to meet you Cody…well, I have to unpack and get to rehearsal. Thank you again for finding my key!" She walked into her room and closed the door. Cody rode down the elevator in a daze.


The next time Cody saw Lena; she was walking across the lobby in a black leotard, light pink tights, and pink ballet slippers. Her face was red from embarrassment as her coach scolded her for being late outside the ballroom. "Sorry Madame…I was unpacking."

"No excuses! You need to buckle down Lena!" The woman said in a shrill voice.

"Yes, Madame." Lena said, holding back tears. Zack laughed.

"I wouldn't want to be Lena." He said.

"Shut up, Zack." Cody said.

Slow start, I know. I'm going to try to update all my stories tomorrow, so be on the look out if you like this story! Please review!
