Potion

1

"Yeah, I need 1 oz. of Absolut vodka, 1 oz. of amaretto almond liqueur, 1 oz. of peach schnapps, 1 oz. of orange juice, 1 oz. of cranberry juice, and ice cubes," Cody explained slowly to Zack.

"What makes you think I have all of that?" Zack asked. Cody gazed him with a serious look. "Fine…" Zack walked out, but returned five seconds later. "But I don't have Absolut vodka, or amarayto almond liqueur… or orange juice, I don't do healthy drinks." He walked out. Cody sighed and brought his gaze to his book. Love potion. Yep, love potion. The items that Cody had just told to Zack were apparently ingredients of a love potion. Cody didn't believe it, but Zack wanted to try it out. Cody had insisted that it would not, could not, work. And then Zack had said, "If it does work then you can try it on Bailey." Cody had looked at him and immediately gave in.

"Okay, let's see." Cody turned the page. Zack suddenly ran in with the items, panting furiously. "Zack, I didn't say grab all of them and run back in five seconds." Zack gave the younger twin a drilling stare.

"Well, why didn't you tell me that in the first place?" Zack asked while placing the items on the desk in Cody's cabin.

"We still need Absolut Vodka and amaretto almond liqueur." He looked at Zack.

"Dude, don't look at me!"

"Good thing we're docked in Mandrogi," Cody responded, smiling.

"Whoa. Are you saying we're going to a bar? Cody, I hate to burst your bubble, but we're sixteen."

"No, no, in Mandrogi, Russia, which is where we are docked right now, there is a vodka museum."

"And?"

"So, as much as this is totally you, I think we need to steal some, uh… vodka for the potion."

"Whoa, dude, even that's taking it too far- and that's coming from me. But it's a stupid potion-"

"Shut up, this is my only chance to get it right with Bailey!"

"Dude, now you're taking it too far. You seriously think this is going to work?"

"You're the one who wanted to do it in the first place," Cody said, raising an eyebrow.

"Touché. Alright, let's do this!"

"Zack, I don't think we should do this just yet."

"Oh, come on!" Cody propped the book on his lap, closing it. Cody stared at Zack and gave him a, 'I don't want to steal the vodka yet, stupid'. If there were such thing. And how were they going to get the liqueur? Get London to go into a bar and get it, she is eighteen! Duh!

"Fine, we won't steal yet." He walked out. Cody grabbed the book propped on his lap and placed it on his desk, standing up and dragging himself to his bed. He couldn't believe what he was about to do. He was going to steal alcoholic stuff! Now that sounded like something from the mind of Zack. Cody slid under the sheets after getting dressed in his pajamas on. He took a deep sigh before closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep.


"C'mon, have a little fun!" London exclaimed while filing her nails.

"No, I will not hit on that guy!" Bailey shot back, pointing to a boy on a stool, drinking a smoothie. He was sixteen, also.

"Why not? He's incredibly cute, and by the way he dresses, he seems like he's rich," London said.

"I don't look for money, I look for intelligence and handsomeness."

"I bet he's smart," London responded, looking over at the boy. Bailey looked over also as the man got off the stool and put his drink down, leaving a tip and walking away.

"Hey, Drew!" someone yelled, waving at the cute boy. Drew looked over at the man waving at him and waved back, smiling. He ran into a table, not watching where he was going.

"Oh, yeah, he's really smart," Bailey said, laughing. Drew got up and walked away, embarrassed. "Well, he's handsome," Bailey added in, laughing harder. London stopped giggling as well, not getting the second joke. "Get it, 'cause I said he's intelligent and handsome, but then he ran into the…" London sighed and got up, walking away. "Ah, come on, that was a good one!"
