Happy Endings Happen All the Time:

A Suite Life FanFic:

This is my first Suite Life FanFic! I really hope you guys like it! I got the title from a song I love called 'Happy Endings' by Lee Brice. Please remember to review.

I do not own the Suite Life or any of the original characters. But I do own some of the new characters in this story only!

Zack's POV:

I've grown up a lot since my days away from Boston. I lived on a ship for a couple of years and finished high school there with my twin brother Cody, then went to college. I am currently in my final year at NYU in Manhattan. I've loved my life here. I'm majoring in Psychology. I love what I'm a doing more than anything. I've been away from my brother for a little over three years now. After graduation, while I went to NYU, Cody went to Yale. It was his dream. Cody is majoring in Physics. It has been really tough being away from Cody. He was always by my side all the way through high school graduation. The first year was really tough, but it got a lot easier over the last 3 years. I mean it's like we never talk anymore. We went from talking almost every day, to maybe talking once a week. He is living his life at Yale and I'm living my life at NYU.

I do miss my life in Boston though. I miss the Tipton the most! The Tipton was my life. Cody and I grew up having races in the hallway, wrestling in the elevator, and throwing footballs in the lobby. It all started after my parents were divorced, my mom got a job at the Tipton in Boston as a Cabaret singer. As a part of the job, she was given a one-bedroom suite in the hotel. She gave Cody and me the room while she slept on the pull-out sofa bed in the living room. Cody and I lived in the hotel until we moved onto the Tipton Ship when we started 10th grade. I have not made it back to the Tipton since I left that summer after 10th grade. Mom always visited us on the ship when we were there. My freshman Christmas in college mom and I spent Christmas with Cody at Yale, my sophomore Christmas in college Cody and mom came here, and then last year we spent it with dad. This Christmas Cody and I are going back to Boston and to the Tipton for the first time since 10th grade. Also we have part-time jobs so during the summer we stay at school.

A lot of things have been going through my mind about my return to Boston and the Tipton. One, I'm bring my girlfriend of almost 2 years home to meet my mom. Lacey and I have been dating for just 3 months shy of 2 years. We met in one of my classes here at NYU and we really hit it off. We are also both psychology majors so the past couple years we've been taking the same classes. We both love sports also! Lacey is about 5'7 with long brown hair and beautiful green eyes. Lacey had been my inspiration to do well in school. She was always behind me and encouraging me to do my best. She made me feel like I was special. I am glad I'm finally taking her home to meet my mom. Cody hasn't met her either. And to make things even more complicated, Cody is bring his girlfriend home as well. His girlfriend's name is Anna. They met their freshman year at Yale in the library and have been dating ever since. I really think Cody is going to propose soon. I can tell he is really in love with Anna. I met her briefly the Christmas I visited him there so I don't really know too much about her.

Another thing I am worried about is this one particular girl that worked at the Tipton and stole my heart at age 12. Madeline Margaret Genevieve Miranda Catherine Fitzpatrick. Maddie was the love of my life and my world. She was my 'sweet thang'. I haven't seen Maddie since that time she visited us on the ship. We had our first kiss and before I knew it she was gone. I hadn't seen her since. I've lost all contact with her. I have no clue what happened to her, where she is, what she's doing, I mean nothing. Also I have not see London since we left the ship either. I have no clue what she is up to. Knowing London, she's probably shopping and rolling around in her money while rubbing in the faces of those who don't have any.

Also, mom now had a new boyfriend. Cody and I have not met him yet because they started dating this past summer. My mom seems to really like this guy, Trevor, so I hope Cody and I do as well.

December 18th- Still Zack's POV:

Lacey and I finished up our last exams yesterday. Today we are driving to Boston.

"Zack, sweetie. Are these all your bags?"

"Yep, that's it."

"We're going to be gone for two weeks. Are you sure you packed everything in just these 2 bags."

"Baby, I don't need to take five bags like you. I have everything I need in these two bags! I promise."

"Okay, if you say so."

Lacey knew I was nervous about going home. But I really couldn't tell what she's feeling though. She knew this was the first time she was meeting my and Cody. She knew this was the first time I was meeting Trevor and Anna. She knew all about Maddie. And she knew there was a really good chance the heiress London Tipton could be there and that I used to be friends with her.

"Zack, are you about ready to hit the road. It's over a 4 hour drive and you want to be to the Tipton before dark!"

"I'm coming babe. I had to wrap one more present."

"Oh really. Whose?"

"Yours." I smiled. "I love you Lacey. You know that right?"

"Of course Zack! I love you too."

A little after 12:30 in the afternoon Lacey and I got in my Jeep and we were headed to Boston. It was a pretty long drive. Lacey fell asleep reading her book. I was listening to my IPOD while driving. It wouldn't be long now and I would be back in Boston, reliving my childhood. I'd be seeing my mom and Cody. I was really excited and really nervous. We were about 30 miles from Boston when Lacey woke up.

"Did you sleep well beautiful?"

"Yeah, I did. Where are we?"

"We're about 30 miles away from Boston."

"Was I asleep that long? Zack why didn't you wake me? I would have driven some for you."

"You were sleeping like an angel baby, I wasn't going to wake you."

"Thanks! So I'm excited about meeting your mom and Cody!"

"Mom and Cody are excited about meeting you too I'm sure!"

"Is Cody going to be there when we get there?"

"I'm not sure if he was supposed to get in today or if he is coming tomorrow."

"Oh okay!"

"But we'll find out soon. We're only about 20 minutes away."

"Well I need to brush my hair and touch up my make up then."

"You don't need to sweetie; you're beautiful without make up."

"Thanks baby!"

Lacey reached back to the backseat and pulled out her makeup bag. I guess she thought she needed makeup even after I said she didn't. 20 minutes away from the Tipton! I was started to recognize places around Boston. Soon I would be passing my old high school and the Paul Revere Market that Cody and I worked at for a while. All the memories started flooding my head. Before I knew it, we were there. There is was, The Tipton. Beautiful as always, but especially now cause of the Christmas season. The trees outside had been beautifully decorated with lights. I could see the enormous Christmas tree in the middle of the lobby decorated. It was breath-taking. I guess I never really appreciated the Christmas season when I was a kid, but I sure do now!

"Wow, Zack!! This is where you lived??"

"Yeah." I said still not taking my eyes off the Tipton. "This is it."

"It's beautiful. I cannot wait to see the inside!"

"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go."

"What about our bags?"

"I'll get Moseby to get someone to get them, so you don't worry about a thing. Enjoy your time here."

I leaned over and gave her a kiss. Then I got out of my jeep and walked over to her side and held out my hand so she could get out of my jeep as well. We held hands as we walked up to the front door. Norman was still there.

"Hey Norman! It's Zack! Zack Martin!"

He nodded and shook his head to show he remember me. He's not a talker. And then he held the door open for me and Lacey as we walked inside.

"Zack! It's…beautiful in here."

Lacey was right. It was beautiful in here. We stood at the entrance just taking everything in. The Tipton had upgraded a lot. New sofas and chair, new tables, Moseby's desk was new, new carpet, even the candy counter had been new. Oh no! The candy counter! Why did I look at the candy counter? Dang! Maddie. Wait where is Maddie? She's not at the candy counter. Of course she's not. She's too old to be at the candy counter. Maybe… My thoughts were interrupted.

"Come on Zack. Let's get checked in so we can go see your mom."

We walked up to the front counter. There were two name plates on the counter. One read Marion Moseby- General Manager. Awesome, Moseby is still here! The second one. I couldn't believe it, Madeline Fitzpatrick-Assistant Manager. Maddie. She was still here.

"Welcome to the Tipton. How may I help you?"

It was Moseby!

"Moseby?"

"Yes, I'm Marion Moseby."

"Moseby, it's Zack!"

"Zack Martin?

I nodded.

"Zack Martin, look at you! You certainly have…grown up!"

"Thank you sir!"

"Will your brother be joining us to?"

"Yes sir. If he didn't check in today he'll be here tomorrow."

"Well let me check the record and see if Madeline checked him in earlier."

Madeline, Madeline, Madeline. The name just kept replaying over and over in my head.

"Martin, Martin, Martin, yes Cody checked in around 3:30. He's on the 21st floor, room 2145. There are two people in that room, are you suppose to be there."

"Actually no, Cody brought his girlfriend. And this is my girlfriend. How rude of me. I'm sorry Lacey. Mose… Mr. Moseby this is Lacey Patterson, Lacey this is Mr. Moseby."

"Nice to meet you Lacey! I hope you enjoy your time at the Tipton. If you need anything just let me know."

"Thank you Mr. Moseby. I've heard a lot about you. I'm glad I finally get to meet you."

"Okay Zack. I'm going to put you across the hall from Cody. You'll be in room 2142. How long are you planning on staying here?"

"Around 2 weeks."

"Very well. Enjoy your stay. Good to have you back, Zack. Very nice to meet you Ms. Patterson. Looks like Jeremy our new bagboy has gotten all your bags for you out of your car. Jeremy room 2142, please."

"Uh Moseby, where's Estabon?"

"Ah, no need to worry about Estabon, Zack. He works in the mornings and afternoons. Jeremy here works evening and nights."

"Oh okay. Well we'll see him tomorrow then. We're going to go check in and see mom and Cody. Have a good night Mr. Moseby."

"Thank you, Zack. You too!"

Lacey and I walked to the elevator. Jeremy followed with our luggage on the luggage cart. Ahhh. So many good memories on the luggage carts. We got on the elevator and went up 21 floors. Memories flooded my head once more. But I was not expecting to see who I saw when the elevator doors opened. It was….

CLIFFHANGER!!!!!

Who does Zack see when the doors open?

I hope you like my story so far! I've had fun writing it. Like I said this is my first Suite Life fan fic! So be nice! Haha
