*Lola's P.O.V*
"Mom!" I exclaimed, as me and my triplet brothers, Zack and Cody followed her into the lobby of the Tipton Hotel, A.K.A, our new home. "Why can't you drive us to the playground?" I whined. Mom bent down to my height.
"Because I have to rehearse the choreography for my next show. Mr. Moseby thinks I need some younger moves." She stood up straight again and demonstrated her current "moves". Me and my brothers just watched in horror. "What do you think?" Mom asked us.
"I think you should never do that in public." Zack said.
"Or in private." Cody added. I nodded in agreement.
"Why don't you guys invite over some friends from school?" Mom suggested.
"That's a great idea!" Cody said.
"Too bad we don't have any!" Zack said.
"Nobody ever likes the new kids." I frowned.
"C'mere." Mom walked over, put one arm around Cody, and stretched the other one around both me and Zack. "You'll make friends soon." She said, kissing our foreheads, "We're here to stay now."
"No if you use those moves." I said, and starting imitating Mom's terrible dance moves. I accidentally backed into the table in the middle of the room, knocking off the expensive vase on top. Luckily, Esteban the bellboy, leaped forward and caught the vase.
"Impressive catch, Esteban!" The hotel manager, Mr. Moseby said, walking over.
"If you thought that was impressive, Mr. Moseby, watch this," He tossed the vase in the air, causing all of us to gasp in fear of him dropping it, but he caught it perfectly. He then put it to his ear and smiled. "I can hear the ocean!"
"Let me hear! Let me hear!" Me, Zack and Cody yelled in unison, fighting to grab it from Esteban.
Moseby then yelled at us because Zack almost dropped the vase again, so he shooed us away and we went to our hotel suite. We played video games until Mom came back from her rehearsal and we had to go to bed, so we had dinner and then went into our room. Sharing a room with my two brothers can be pretty annoying sometimes, but we literally don't have any more rooms. Mom's already sleeping on the couch.
I grabbed some pyjamas and ran into the bathroom, where I usually get dressed and undressed. I mean, I'm a twelve year-old girl, changing in front of my brothers is just uncomfortable and weird. And sometimes I just need my privacy.
Once I was done, I went back into our room and got into bed.
"Goodnight, Zack. Goodnight, Cody." I said, snuggling down under the covers.
"Night, Lola." They said in unison. I heard them say goodnight to each other, before I drifted off to sleep.
The next day, my brothers and I got to school to meet our huge group of friends...not.
"Cody, Lola, check it out! It's the Drew Crew!" Zack said, as the "Drew Crew" walked passed. "Yo Drew, whaddup dog?" He said, holding his hand up for a high five, only to get rejected. The Drew Crew turned around and laughed at us.
"Hey look, it's The Clones and their Bimbo." Drew said. I felt a wave of anger wash over me and was so desperate to tackle Drew to the ground. Some sort of triplet telepathy thing must've happened, because Cody grabbed my wrist as if he knew exactly what I was about to do. He probably did know what I was about to do, since everyone knows I hate when people imply I'm a dumb blonde, or tell me what I can and can't do just because I'm a girl.
"Did you hear that?!" Zack turned to us excitedly as The Drew Crew walked away, "The Drew Crew just mocked us!"
"Woohoo, we're in." Cody said sarcastically. He threw his arms in the air for effect, dropping my wrist as he did so.
"Yeah, and they're going to be in hospital if they call me a bimbo one more time." I said through gritted teeth, glaring holes into Drew's back as he continued to walk with his gang.
Then a girl and a boy walked up to us. The boy was tall with frizzy hair, and the girl was the same height as us and had a baseball cap on her head. She was obviously a tomboy.
"The Drew Crew will never accept you. Don't beat your head against a wall." The girl said.
"Even though it feels good sometimes." The boy said. The girl glared at him, while me, Zack and Cody shared a creeped out look.
"I'm Max, by the way, and this is Tapeworm." The girl said.
"What kinda name is that?" I asked.
"The kind you get when you eat twenty hotdogs in less than two minutes." Max said. I raised my eyebrows in approval. That's pretty impressive.
"Cool! Beats my record!" Cody exclaimed.
"By eighteen." Zack said. I nodded. Then I got an idea.
"Hey, do you guys wanna come over to our house?" I offered.
"Did you hear that? Someone wants us to come over to their house!" Tapeworm said, as Max smiled excitedly. That made me smile. These guys seem nice, I don't see why other people wouldn't want to hang out with them.
After school, we took Max and Tapeworm back to The Tipton with us, as promised. Although, what we saw when we walked into our suite, wasn't promised. We opened the door, to see Mom dancing like an idiot.
"Mom!" I exclaimed in embarrassment.
"Oh!-kay..." Mom turned around, startled and flustered.
"What are you doing?!" Zack asked in horror.
"Well, apparently I'm embarrassing myself in front of your new friends... You made friends!" She literally ran towards Max and Tapeworm, causing them to cower back.
"Maybe." Max said cautiously. Mom regained her composure and so did Max and Tapeworm. "Whoa!" Max suddenly said, running over to our stereo, "This is so tight!"
"I was just rehearsing for my show..." Mom tried to say, as Max turned it on. She moved to the middle of the room and started dancing. She was really good! "Look at you go!" Mom said. Me, Zack and Cody gave Tapeworm a surprised look, to which he just nodded excitedly. We turned back to Max, to see her baseball cap had fallen off, revealing her braids. "Wow... Can you show me how you do that?" Mom asked.
"Sure." Max said happily, then started breakdancing, doing much more complicated and flexible moves.
"Okay, no, the part a Mom can actually do." Mom said when she'd finished, crouching down to Max's finishing pose.
"Oh, okay." Max said.
Max and Tapeworm stayed for a few hours and me and Max talked a lot. She's a lot like me. I mean, we're both tomboys. Tapeworm's really cool too, even though I kicked his ass at the video game we played. Unfortunately, Mom had to be a Debbie Downer and tell Max and Tapeworm to go, because it was "getting late". So they left, me and my brothers had dinner, and then went to bed.
The next day at school, me, Zack and Cody met up with Max and Tapeworm and started talking about all sorts of things. We were walking across the courtyard, when 'The Drew Crew' came by.
"Hey Clones." I rolled my eyes at his voice, as we turned around. "Is it true that you really live in the Tipton Hotel?"
"Yeah, our mom sings there." Cody said.
"And it makes your place look like a dump!" Max said.
"Yeah!" Tapeworm piped up.
"And are there really hot babes serving icecream by the pool?" Drew continued. I rolled my eyes again.
"Three flavours." Cody smirked.
"And we're talking about the girls." Zack added. I hit him in the arm, but he just ignored me.
"Maybe we'll, uh, come over and hang out." Drew said.
"You wanna hang out with us?!" Cody yelled.
"Course he does!" Zack said, hitting Cody's arm. Yet he doesn't respond when I hit him?
"You know," Drew put his arms around Zack and Cody, "I've always liked you two."
"No you didn't." Cody said as they started walking away. Zack flicked him up the head. "Ow! Quit it!" Cody whined.
I tried to follow them, but Drew turned around and stopped me.
"Sorry, we don't allow dumb blondes."
Okay. That does it.
I was about to lunge at him, as he walked away with my brothers, but Max grabbed my wrist.
"Don't. He's not worth it." She told me. I obeyed and relaxed my shoulders, but practically growled in Drew's direction.
"Fine. Do you guys want to come back to The Tipton? If you're there, you can stop me from trying to kill Drew again." I said. Max chuckled and the three of us walked out of school.
When we got to the hotel, 'The Drew Crew', plus Zack and Cody, had already arrived and were devouring the food table in the lobby. Mr. Moseby, of course, had his knickers in a twist.
"Check it out, Crew, all this stuff us free." Drew said.
"Well, free for our guests, who spend $2000 a day." Moseby said.
"Do you have any hummus?" One kid asked. I rolled my eyes, as Max and Tapeworm ran over to the food. I decided to stay back. If I'm too close to Drew, I may murder him.
"Awe, who ate all the finger sandwiches?" Tapeworm whined.
"Who invited Ringworm?" Drew sneered.
"It's Tapeworm." He corrected.
"Whatever type of worm he is, please take him and the rest of your mongrel horde upstairs and out of sight." Mr. Moseby ordered.
"C'mon guys, let's hit the pool!" Cody yelled. Everyone started cheering and ran for the pool. I sighed and followed, only because of Max and Tapeworm, who wanted to go to the pool as well.
We got there and I got changed before Max or Tapeworm, so I waited by the door for them while my brothers and the stupid 'Drew Crew' lounged in the sun chairs.
"Oh, yeah, that's it. That's the spot. Thanks, Honey. You were right, I was tense." Drew told the girl giving him a massage. I shook my head at him, even though he wasn't even looking, as a girl walked by with icecream.
"Ooh, four o'clock icecream!" Zack exclaimed.
"Like clockwork." Cody said, getting up to get icecream. I decided to leave the icecream and continue to wait for Max and Tapeworm.
"Maybe you guys aren't so lame after all." Drew said to Zack and Cody.
"Did you hear that? We're in! We're not so lame!" Zack told Cody happily.
"We've never been so popular!" Cody said. I sighed, watching them. They didn't even care about the way Drew had treated me, all they cared about was popularity.
Max and Tapeworm finally came out and ran towards the icecream tray.
"Coming through!" Max said, as Tapeworm saw the empty icecream tray and pouted.
"Awe, who ate all the icecream?"
"Too late, Earthworm." Drew said. I rolled my eyes.
"Hey, let's all go in the jacuzzi." Max suggested. Everyone ran over to the jacuzzi and jumped in, disturbing the people already there. Me, Max and Tapeworm ran over, only to find 'The Drew Crew' had taken up all the room. "Guys, move over. Make some room." Max said.
"Sorry, but the kiddie pool is over there." Drew said, causing his 'crew' to laugh. I clenched my fists. I wanted to punch him in the jaw so hard right now.
"Great, first no finger sandwiches, then no icecream, and now this." Tapeworm complained.
"C'mon, they always have extra in the cabana." I said, wanting desperately to get away from Drew and my traitors of brothers.
"Alright!" Tapeworm exclaimed, running over to the cabana.
"It better not be melted." Max mumbled as we followed him.
*Cody's P.O.V*
I watched as Lola, Max and Tapeworm went over to the cabana. I felt kinda bad about Drew excluding them, especially Lola, but Zack was okay with it, so why shouldn't I be?
"Hey y'all, let's ditch the dweebs." Drew said, motioning towards our sister and her friends. Everyone nodded and got out of the jacuzzi.
"You guys go ahead, I'll wait and tell them where we're going." I said. Zack chuckled nervously.
"Um...he's not clear on the whole 'itch' concept." Zack said. The Drew Crew ran off, while Zack turned to me with a glare. "Look, we just got passed lame, don't screw things up." He said.
"But Mom says we're not supposed to give into peer pressure." I defended.
"We're not, we're just doing what everybody else is doing." Zack said. "C'mon."
"But it'll hurt their feelings. And we can't ditch our own sister." I said.
"I'm sure she won't mind that much. They're all gonna laugh... Eventually." Zack said, before running off. I looked back at Lola, Max and Tapeworm. Maybe they won't mind that much...
The next day, we were in the lobby with The Drew Crew again, but Max and Tapeworm weren't here. I'm not sure where Lola was, I think she was in our suite.
I was talking to Zack, when Mom walked over.
"Hey guys, where are Max and Tapeworm?" She asked.
"Um, they might not be here today." I said.
"Okay, what about your sister?" She asked.
"Oh, I think Lola's in our room." Zack said.
"She's not hanging out with you guys?" Mom asked, slightly confused. I don't blame her, we usually do pretty much everything with Lola.
"I dunno, she was in a bit of a mood." Zack lied. Mom just nodded, but I couldn't help but feel bad. To be honest, I missed Lola.
"Yo, Zack, we're out of finger sandwiches." Drew ordered.
"Oh," Zack went to see to Drew, but Mom stopped him.
"Whoa, Zack, are all these kids with you?" She asked him.
"Yeah, we're part of their posse." Zack said, as we crossed our arms and tried to look cool.
"Guys, I told you to bring home a couple of friends, not the entire school!" She looked at Mr. Moseby who'd just walked in, "Moseby's gonna blow his top. Fix it." She said, walking away.
"Okay, Mom! We'll take care of it." Zack called after her, before turning to me, "You wanna tell Drew not to invite any more of his friends over?"
"No, it's okay. Yo-you can do it." I said, putting a hand on Zack's back. Zack shrugged it off.
"We probably don't have to say anything. How many more friends could he have?" Zack said, a little nervous.
"Yo, yo, guys! Over here!" Drew called, and another horde of kids ran in. Zack ran over to the kids, looking like he had an idea.
"Okay, first one to the game room gets free foosball all afternoon!" Huh, that was actually a pretty good idea.
Everyone cheered and ran for the game room, including Zack and I.
"Good turnout." Zack said when we got there and everyone started playing the games, "All the A-List kids are here."
"Yeah, but do any of them even know your name?" I asked, folding my arms.
"Yeah!" Zack said.
"Hey, Jack, give me a quarter!" One of the kids yelled.
"See? Off by one letter!" Zack exclaimed. I rolled my eyes as he gave the kid a quarter.
"Psst! Zack, Cody," We heard from the door way. We turned and saw Esteban peeking his head in, "I need to speak with you." He said, walking in properly.
"What's up, Esteban?" I asked.
"I have been given a terrible task; I have been ordered to rid the premises of children by Mr. Moseby." He explained. Me and Zack frowned. "Now, I could disobey him but Mr. Moseby reminds me of my father, who was also strict, demanding, ruthless and mean... Oh, I miss my papa so much." He started crying.
"I-It's okay." I tried to say.
"I need a moment." He said, walking to the other side of the room. He is one interesting bellboy...
"We can't ask them to leave, they're our friends!" Zack said.
"Hey, Zeke! This stupid machine keeps eating all my quarters!" That one kid yelled, banging on the machine.
"I think your friend he talking to you, Zeke." I said, putting my hands on my hips.
"You're right. We've gotta get rid of them. But how?"
"I know." I said, moving to the middle of the room, "Free foot-long grinders at the Saint Mark Hotel across the street!" I yelled. Everyone bought it and ran out of the game room.
"Excellent, I'll clear out the lobby and you get the rooftop." Zack said.
We put our hands together and yelled, "Break!" before running off.
I ran up to the pool, where some kids were in the jacuzzi.
"Hey, guys, you need to leave." I said. They looked at me, before turning back to their conversation and ignoring me. I saw some chocolate icecream on the side of the jacuzzi and picked it up, a plan hatching in my head. "Ew, gross!" I said, after I threw the icecream in the pool. It looked just like poop. The kids screamed and ran away, just as Zack ran out. He came over and looked in the pool, looking a little grossed out when he saw the icecream. "Don't ask." Was all I said. "How we doing?"
"I got rid of everybody downstairs. Except for one kid that was crying and begging to stay. Turns out his parents are actually guests here..."
Suddenly, Drew and his crew ran through with a basketball.
"Drew," I said, but he ignored me, "Drew, li- Drew, listen... Drew... Drew! We need to talk to you!" I managed to tell him.
"What?" He asked intimidatingly.
"T-Take it away, Zack." I said, stepping behind my brother.
"S-see the thing is-is we kind of need you to leave." Zack said.
"We're in the middle of a game." Drew said.
"No! That doesn't work for us," I stood right in front of Drew, "You need to leave!" Drew towered over me, and I backed away, "T-Tell him why, Zack." I said, stepping behind him again.
"Man, you guys need to chill. 'Cause if we leave, we're not coming back, and then you'll have to hang out with those two dweebs, Max and Silkworm, and that other dumb girl." He said.
I suddenly felt angry. No one calls our sister dumb.
"His name's Tapeworm, and he's our friend! And so is the other dweeb!" Zack yelled.
"Yeah! And they liked us even before they knew we had this cool place, and dainty finger sandwiches!" I piped up. "And as for the other dumb girl; She's our sister and she's not dumb! She's smarter than you'll ever be!" I continued.
"That's right! And then you made us ditch them!" Zack said, "So you know what? Now we're ditching you! Give me back the ball!"
"Fine here," Zack went to take the ball from Drew, but Drew laughed and threw it behind him, causing it to hit the satellite dish. Mine and Zack's jaws dropped as the wires undid. This is bad, this is really bad!
*Lola's P.O.V*
I'd been in our suite all day with Max and Tapeworm, since my brothers are no longer my friends.
"You know, it was one thing for Zack and Cody to ditch us, but their own sister?!" Max said, trying to make me feel better. It wasn't really working. "You know what? They are not getting away with this. C'mon, let's go up to the pool and give them a piece of our minds!" She continued.
"Yeah!" Tapeworm yelled. I sighed.
"Fine, let's go." I said. To be honest, I kinda did want to tell them off. I left the suite with Max and Tapeworm and we took the elevator up to the pool.
"...And then you'll have to hang out with those two dweebs, Max and Tapeworm, and that other dumb girl." We heard Drew say. I was about to go out there and slap him silly, but what Zack and Cody said stopped me.
"His name's Tapeworm, and he's our friend! And so is the other dweeb!" Zack said.
"Yeah! And they liked us even before they knew we had this cool place and dainty finger sandwiches!" Cody piped up. "And as for the other dumb girl; She's our sister and she's not dumb! She's smarter than you'll ever be!" I couldn't help but smile as he defended me.
"That's right! And then you made us ditch them!" Zack said, "So you know what? Now we're ditching you! Give me back the ball!"
"Fine, here." Drew huffed. Zack was about to take the ball back, but Drew laughed and threw it behind him, making it hit the satellite dish as he walked away with his crew. My eyes widened as the wires started to undo.
"I can't believe we broke the hotel!" Zack said, as he and Cody held onto the cord that was keeping the satellite dish from hitting the ground. That's when me, Max and Tapeworm decided to go out there.
"Looks like you guys could use some help." I said, crossing my arms and standing in front of my brothers.
"What are you guys doing here?" Zack asked.
"Well, we came to tell you off," Tapeworm began.
"But lucky for you, we overhead you defending us dweebs." Max finished.
"Sorry we ditched ya." Zack said.
"So, we're friends again?" Cody asked hopefully.
"We'll have to think about it." Max said.
"Whoa!" Zack and Cody lost their grip a little and the cord began falling, pulling the boys back with it and making them hit the wall.
"Well, could you think fast? 'Cause I think I just caught a bus!" Zack said.
"Okay." Max and Tapeworm said in unison, going to help. I grabbed the cord too, but that didn't mean I'd forgiven them yet.
"What did you do?!" A voice yelled from behind us. Me, Zack and Cody exchanged a look.
"Mom!" We said in unison, letting go of the cord.
"I am surprised at you three, and you two too!" Mom said to all of us.
"They didn't do it!" Zack said, "And neither did Lola."
"They were the only three who stayed to help!" Cody said, "Speaking of which, we're really sorry about letting Drew treat you like that, Lola."
"Yeah, nobody gets to insult you but us." Zack said. I rolled my eyes playfully.
"Apology accepted." I told my brothers, a smile forming on my lips.
"Guys!" Max spoke up.
"Come on!" She and Tapeworm whined. Me, my brothers and Mom quickly took action and grabbed the cord.
"It wasn't us!" Zack said, as we pulled, "It was that kid, Drew!" He explained to Mom, "I told you he was no good!" He told Cody.
"You said nothing!" Cody said, as we continued to pull.
"I don't care who did it," Mom began, "Pull!... It's still your responsibility...Pull!...When I told you this hotel is your home, I meant you should treat it with respect... Pull!"
"Sorry, I guess I messed up." Zack said.
"Zack's right... He messed up." Cody said. Zack turned around and gave him a look. "Pull!" Cody just yelled in his face. We all pulled, until the icecream girl passed us.
"Ooh, four o'clock icecream!" Tapeworm said. We all let go of the cord and ran for the icecream.
"Guys!" Mom said, but we ignored her as we got our icecream, "Guys! Oh, come on, help!" She yelled, before mumbling, "Oh man, I picked the wrong day to wear heels..."
After a lot of heaving, we got the satellite dish back up and Zack and Cody got their punishment. And let me tell you; it was the best punishment ever! Well, for me, not so much for them. They had to clean the pool with toothbrushes, and be my personal slaves for a week!
Right now, me, Max and Tapeworm where lounging on the sun chairs while Zack and Cody cleaned the pool.
"You know, Moseby, you run a nice place around here." Max told Mr. Moseby, who was stood beside the chairs, probably making sure Zack and Cody did the job.
"Thanks son-"
"I'm a girl." She interrupted him. I stifled a giggle. Then Zack and Cody walked into the shallow end of the pool, which was nearest to us.
"This is the worst punishment we ever got!" Cody whined.
"I think we scrubbed every single tile." Zack said, breathing heavily with exhaustion.
"I can't uncurl my fingers..." Cody said, pulling the toothbrush out of his own hand. I smirked. This was certainly the best revenge I could've gotten.
"Hey, Max! Max, I finally learned that move." Mom said, coming out to the pool with a boombox. She turned it on, and started dancing. I cringed, especially when Max joined in.
"I don't know her." Cody said, putting his goggles back on.
"Neither do I." Zack said, doing the same. The two of them got back in the pool.
"I'm with them!" I said, getting up and jumping in the pool.
