DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT own The Suite Life of Zack and Cody or any of its contents, storylines, characters, or settings.

I DO own Raine, Rebecca, Ms. Aggen, and all other characters made up by ME.

(This disclamer goes for all chapters of this story.)

Okay! Here we go:) THE SEQUEL! Everybody SCREAM! LoL! No just kidding, just kidding:p

There'll be a few new characters, a musical (hehe), some twists (I don't think there's too many), and some more brotherly love for all you brotherly love fans out there!

It'd be a really really good idea to read Only Love Can Break Your Heart before reading this. Or else you just won't understand it

This story takes place in September of the following year (well it starts there) during the first week of school. So in other words we skipped the summer and went straight to fall.

Anyway...here's Chapter 1! (YAY!)

Chapter 1:

Cody Martin slouched down on the padded seat in Ms. Aggen, the school guidance counselor's, office. Ms. Aggen sat across from him, hands neatly folded atop a portfolio, which he assumed was his file. She usually tried to appear cheerful and pleasant but today he took special notice of the frown playing her lips where usually only a smile would reside.

"Cody…" Ms. Aggen said, leaning forward in her seat, "I want you to tell me why you hit Drew."

Yes. It was true. He'd gotten into, yet another, fight with Drew.

"But it's not my fault…" He insisted to himself, "Drew started the whole thing…"

He'd been standing with Raine and Rebecca by his locker, shortly before their sixth period class. Drew and his 'posse' had been standing a couple of feet away at Drew's locker. And that's when the taunting began…

"Ya know…I heard Clone # 1's sick today…" Drew had remarked casually. That's what he preferred to call them- Clone 1 and Clone 2- as if they didn't have real names.

He remembered feeling his blood start to boil at the mention of his twin brother's absentee, again. He'd gripped the book he held fiercely and clenched his jaw tightly, as he waited for Drew to continue, completely ignoring Raine and Rebecca's retorts over tests the first week of school.

"Really?" One of the many members of Drew's posse asked.

Drew'd nodded, "Yeah…ya know," He said seeming to think something over, "I don't think he's really sick."

"WHAT!" Cody's thoughts exploded.

"I dunno, man. He was in the hospital last year, remember? I don't think he'd fake it." Another member noted.

"'Course I remember." Drew retorted, "But that was what? 4 months ago? Besides this is the other one we're talking about." He gestured towards Cody and the posse shrugged and nodded, clearly agreeing.

"I think," Drew continued, "he's playin hooky and Clone #1 over there's just covering for him..."

At this, Cody's jaw dropped to the floor. He shoved the book he'd been holding into his locker and began to stomp over to Drew.

"Cody!" Rebecca shouted after him. Raine grabbed his arm and turned him around.

"Ignore them, Cody. He doesn't know what he's talking about." She said firmly.

"I can't." He muttered simply and walked away from her.

He shoved his way through the posse and slammed Drew into his own locker. Drew had seemed surprised and Cody greedily used that as his advantage. He kicked Drew hard in the shins, hoping he broke his leg, and punched him in the face, hoping it left a permanent bruise. Drew fell to the floor and Cody tackled him, ignoring Rebecca and Raine's shrieks of disapproval. He kept him pinned to the floor, punching him harder and harder…

"Cody! I asked you a question and I expect an answer!" Cody snapped back to reality and shrugged limply.

"I dunno…"

"Cody…" He heard the distinct frustration in Ms. Aggens voice. "Is everything OK?"

Cody shifted uncomfortably in his chair. How come teachers always had to ask questions like this?

"Yes..." he mumbled, hoping he sounded convincing enough for her.

Ms. Aggens sighed, frustrated. "At home?" She asked.

"Yeah…" was his one word answer.

"How about at school? Everything OK here?"

"Yes." Cody lied again.

"What about Zack? I noticed he wasn't in school today. Is everything OK with him?"

"Here we go again…" Cody thought grimly. "Why does everything about me have to be about Zack too?"

He nodded, "Zack's fine."

Ms. Aggens performed a frustrated sigh, which Cody felt everyone exaggerated way too much, and wrote something down in his file. Probably something like 'Fails to communicate freely,' or 'Chronically depressed.' The same thing everyone else said.

She closed the portfolio and looked up at him,

"You can go now." She said looking at him, possibly concerned. He couldn't be sure. He avoided her eyes as he got up and walked from the room, closing the door behind him. He heard her sigh in frustration again. He leaned against the wall adjoining the door and inhaled deeply. It was going to be a long night, and he knew it.
