Chapter One

"Why do we have to go to school? This is stupid!" Zack exclaimed while he and his twin brother, Cody, got off of the elevator.

"But," Cody defended the school system. "We need to get a good education because otherwise--"

"Save it." Zack stopped his brother.

Cody rolled his eyes. "Come on, we're going to miss the bus."

"Like I care," Zack responded as he walked over to the candy counter. "Let me get something for the ride."

"A candy bar?" Cody couldn't believe Zack. "This early?"

"Where's Maddie?" Zack asked when he realized the candy counter was closed.

"At school," Cody replied bluntly. "Like she is every morning."

"You see my point now?" Zack turned to face his brother. "We're wasting our lives there!"

Cody rolled his eyes. "Forget it, Zack. You can drop out when you're sixeteen, now come on."

"Hey, who's checking in?" Zack started to follow his brother out the door, but stopped when he noticed a line of people at Mr. Moseby's desk.

"Singers convention." Cody replied.

"How do you know?" Zack asked. "The sign's back is facing us. You can't read it. You're not that smart!"

Cody gave Zack an obvious look. "Because the convention is what Mom has been talking about all week."

Zack looked down at the floor, confused. "When did she say anything about a convention?"

Cody rolled his eyes as he left the hotel. The bus was going to be there any minute.

Zack followed his brother outside and as they waited for the bus he got to thinking. "Hey, Cody? Guess what I just thought of?"

Cody gave his brother a surprised look. "You thought of something?"

"Ha, ha, very funny," Zack glared at him. "No, the singers convention got me thinking..."

Cody shook his head. "I know what you're thinking and I am not going to be apart of it!"

"You have no idea what I'm thinking." Zack replied.

"I saw you eyeing one of those singers in there," Cody stated. "You want to sneak in--"

"Although that sounds nice and all," Zack interrupted him. "But no. That wasn't what I was thinking."

The bus pulled up and the doors opened. Cody began to walk up the stairs to get into the bus. "Then what are you thinking? It can't be good."

Zack followed Cody into the bus and sat down next to him. "But it is good! Today, we should gather everyone up in school--"

"We are not going to bring anyone to the singers convention." Cody cut him off.

"Would ya just forget about the stupid singers convention?" Zack snapped.

Cody sighed. "All right, go ahead. Continue."

"As I was saying," Zack glowed at him. "We should gather all of our friends from school and we have a karaoke night at the hotel!"

Cody was silent for a minute. "That's your great plan? Have a karaoke night? Why?"

Zack shrugged. "Just somthing to do. Now when we get to school, you tell Tapeworm, Bob, and Barbara to come and I'll get Max, Jessica, and Janice. Okay?"

"But--"

"Good." Zack stood up as the bus came to a stop and he seemed to be the first one off the bus. He was actually eager to get to school that morning.

Cody still stayed seated in his seat as he watched a bunch of other kids get off of the bus. When the isle was clear of kids, he decide to get off. "I have a feeling that this isn't going to go very well..."


"This is great, Cody." Jessica smiled at him.

"Yeah, really great." Janice agreed.

Cody nodded slightly. "Yeah...really, really great..."

"Hey, Cody."

Cody turned around. "He--AH!" He jumped when he saw Agnes. "What are you doing here?"

"I heard about your little karaoke night here. How come no one invited me?" Agnes looked angry.

"Um," Cody stammered. "You know, I think Zack was supposed to invite you."

"Cody." Max walked up to him.

"Hi, Max." Cody smiled.

"Where's Zack?" Max wondered.

Cody shrugged. "Honestly, I don't know."

"When are we going to get started?" Tapeworm asked.

"I don't know." Cody repeated himself.

"Are we going to get started when Zack comes back?" Bob asked.

Cody nodded. "Probably."

"Well then where is he because I can't listen to Barbara practice anymore." Bob pointed to her.

"Do, ray, mi, fa, so, la, TIIIIIIIIIIII..." Barbara raised her voice as everyone covered their ears. "Do!"

Cody unblocked his ears and slowly walked over to her. "Sweetie...save your voice, okay?"

Barabara smiled at him. "Oh, okay!"

Cody nodded. "Yeah..."

"There you are!" Max noticed Zack coming into the lobby. "Were have you been? You kept us all waiting."

"I had to get something that would help us out." Zack replied.

Cody power walked over to him. "What is that?"

"A karaoke machine." Zack smiled.

"Where did you get that?" Cody emphasized where.

"I just sort of borrowed it..."

"Oh, no," Cody shook his head. "Don't tell me..."

"The singers convention." Zack told him anyway.

"Zack!" Cody scolded.

"Oh, don't worry!" Zack rolled his eyes. "They were all stuffing their faces with food. No one's going to notice. We'll be done here before they're done eating."

Cody looked down at Zack's shirt. "And I see you've been stuffing your face with food, as well."

Zack smiled. "Gotta love cake."

"Hey," Bob popped in between the two twins. "Sorry to interrupt, but are we going to start this or what?"

"We're starting," Zack smiled after looking at Cody. Zack set up the machine and stood behind it. "Okay, guys, ready? Who's first?"

"Um, get off." Max shooed Zack away from the karaoke machine.

Zack got out of her way before she got angry. "What are you doing?" He asked.

Max raised an eyebrow at him. "You think you can handle a karaoke machine? Please. Let me handle this kind of stuff."

Zack shrugged. "Oh-kay..."

"Who first?" Max called louder.

"What if Moseby hears?" Cody asked.

"It's like as if you've never went behind Moseby's back before," Zack shook his head. "He's in taking care of the singers convention. Relax!"

"Me!" Barbara stood up in front of everyone with the microphone.

"Oh, no," Cody tried hard not to force himself to cover his ears.

"What?" Zack was totally confused since he didn't hear her practicing.

Hey!
Yeah!

I'm fly
The original
I'm sly
Unpredictable...

Zack quickly covered his ears. "Holy mother of...!"

I'm nearly irresistible
And I don't even try
I'm easily excitable,
Completely undeniable,
And sometimes unrealible.
Don't ask me why,
Don't ask me why (why)

"What are you doing?!" Cody grabbed Zack's arm and tried to pull it off of his ear.

"Her singing stinks!" Zack replied, still keeping his arms on his own ears.

"You can't cover your ears!" Cody argued. "If she sees you covering your ears you'll lower her self-esteem!"

"Watch me!" Zack glared at him.

I'm strange
And I like it
That's just the way I am
I can't change
I can't hide it
That's just the way I am
Might as well get over it
Don't try to understand
I'm strange
And I like it
That's just the way I am

"Uncover your ears!" Cody demanded.

"No!"

From a whisper to a shout
On what the buzz
Is all about
Everybody's buggin' out
And I've only just begun
They can't rain on my parade
I'm sunshine on a cloudy day
Make lemons into lemonade
I'm just havin' fun
I'm havin' fun (I'm havin fun)

"She's horrible!" Tapeworm was covering his ears too.

"No! Stop it!" Cody grabbed Tapeworm's arm and tried to take it off of his ear.

I'm strange
And I like it
That's just the way I am
I can't change
I can't hide it
That's just the way I am
Might as well get over it
Don't try to understand
I'm strange
And I like it
That's just the way I am

"This is bad." Jessica complained.

"This is really bad." Janice agreed.

I'm strange
And I like it
That's just the way I am
I can't change
I can't hide it
That's just the way I am
Might as well get over it
Don't try to understand
I'm strange
And I like it
That's just the way I am

"No! It's good! It's good!" Cody paniced.

"It's bad! It's bad!" Zack mocked him.

I'm strange
And I like it
That's just the way I am
I can't change
I can't hide it
That's just the way I am
Might as well get over it
Don't try to understand
I'm strange
And I like it
That's just the way I am

The song ended and Max uncovered her ears. "Ow..." Then everyone else seemed to uncover their ears.

"That was great, Honey!" Cody smiled at Barbara.

"Geez," Bob shook his head at Barbara. "You stink."

Cody groaned and buried his face in his hands while Zack let out a little chuckle at Bob's words. Cody glared at him and then Zack just shrugged.

"Okay, whoever's next," Max lowered her voice. "Better be a good singer..."

"I'll go next!" Bob raised his hand and stood up in front of everyone. "Let me show you how a real singer sings." Bob looked over at Barbara.

Barbara glared at him.

"You didn great, Barbara." Cody put his hands on her shoulders.

"Don't touch me!" Barbara snapped.

"Okay." Cody lifted his hands off of her.

Max smiled at the perfect song she just found for him. "Okay, go."

I'm too sexy for my love, too sexy for my love
Love's going to leave me

Cody glared at Zack when he heard the song. "Next time you want to have a karaoke night and I agree, hit me."

I'm too sexy for my shirt too sexy for my shirt
So sexy it hurts
And i'm too sexy for milan too sexy for milan
New york and japan
And i'm too sexy for your party
Too sexy for your party
No way i'm disco dancing

"This is weird." Jessica turned to Cody with a worried look. Seeing Bob up there singing that song, wasn't what everyone had in mind.

"Very weird." Janice repeated.

I'm a model you know what i mean
And i do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk on the catwalk yeah
I do my little turn on the catwalk

I'm too sexy for my car too sexy for my car
Too sexy by far
And i'm too sexy for my hat
Too sexy for my hat what do you think about that

"Yes it is." Cody agreed.

Zack turned to glare at Max. "I don't know why she picked this song."

Max smiled at him and shrugged. "You wanted to have a karaoke night, so you're getting one."

I'm a model you know what i mean
And i do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk on the catwalk yeah
I shake my little touche on the catwalk

I'm too sexy for my too sexy for my too sexy for my

i'm a model you know what i mean
And i do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk yeah on the catwalk yeah
I shake my little touche on the catwalk

"And you say I'm a bad singer?" Barbara yelled at Bob.

"Barbara, shh. Calm down. It's okay." Cody knew she was going to angry at any moment.

I'm too sexy for my cat too sexy for my cat
Poor pussy poor pussy cat
I'm too sexy for my love too sexy for my love
Love's going to leave me

And i'm too sexy for this song

"Finally!" Tapeworm shouted.

"Why? You want to go next?" Bob defended himself.

"Um, no." Tapeworm backed off a little.

"Go ahead, Tapeworm. I all ready have a song picked out for you." Max replied.

"It better not be something sick." Zack scolded.

"Oh, you, like you're not sick." Max glared at him.

"You know," Cody pointed to Max as he looked at Zack. "She has a point."

Zack glared at his brother.

"Whatever. Go." Max hit the play button.

Everybody get up it's time to slam now
We got a real jam goin' down
Welcome to the Space Jam
Here's your chance, do your dance at the Space Jam
Alright...

Zack began to bob his head. "I like this song."

"I know this song!" Cody smiled.

Hey you, watcha gonna do

Party people in the house lets go

"So, Zackie," Agnes came over. "When is it going to be your turn to sing?"

Zack backed away from her a little. "Um..."

Everybody get up it's time to slam now
We got a real jam goin' down
Welcome to the Space Jam

Wave your hands in the air if you feel fine

"Will you sing with me?" Agnes batted her eyes.

"No." Zack replied.

"Why not?" Agnes frowned.

"Because you did that." Zack pointed to her eyes.

C'mon it's time to get hyped say "Hoop there it is"
C'mon all the fellas say "Hoop there it is"
C'mon one time for the ladies say "Hoop there it is"
Now all the fellas say "Hoop there it is"

C'mon and slam, and welcome to the jam
C'mon and slam, if you wanna jam

"But I really want to sing with you." Agnes glared at him.

"You know," Zack became nervous. "We are going to do duets, but I think I'm going to be singing with someone else."

Slam, Bam, Thank you ma'am
Get on the floor and jam
It's the QCD on the microphone
Girl you got me in the zone

"She really likes you." Cody said as she walked away, angry.

"She really needs to get a hobby." Zack replied.

Everybody get up it's time to slam now

"And since when were we going to be doing duets?" Cody asked.

Zack shrugged. "I was going to tell you...soon...ish."

"I love how he actually does different voices..." Barbara muttered.

Max hit the pause button. "Next!"

"Agnes wants to go next!" Zack shouted when no one volenteered.
