Kylie's POV... "Dad!" I exclaimed, dragging my father onto the ship. "Where do you think Zack and Cody will be? I haven't seen them in like, forever!" We were standing on the upper deck, looking around. "I don't know, maybe right underneath us with Carey." Dad said with a sarcastic tone. I looked below us. Sure enough, Zack and Cody were standing there. Zack was reading the student handbook. "Love you, Dad!" I gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek before sliding down the railing to meet up with the twins. "Wow check out our schedule. 8 o'clock bingo breakfast buffet-" Zack said, saying buffet how it looks. "Buffet." I corrected him, pronouncing it the way it should be. He spun around and faced me. "Kylie?" He asked hopefully. "Yes?" I asked. All of the sudden, I was tackled into a hug. "Kylie! I haven't seen you since we were in like, 3rd grade!" He exclaimed. "I know! My dad told me that you guys would be here and that's the only reason I'm here. And plus, my uncle got me into this school for free." I explained. "Where was I... 9 o'clock volleyball tournament and donuts, 10 o'clock water sports and omelet bar. Man I love this school!" Zack exclaimed. "Zack that's the passenger schedule." Cody said. "This is the student schedule." I said, turning the page." "Eight hours of school and then a cheese sandwich.' Zack said. Attention. 10 minutes before departure. All ashore that's going ashore. A voice on the intercom said. "Well I guess this is..." Carey started. "Goodbye." Cody said, getting teary eyed. "Oh Cody." Carey said, pulling him into a hug. "Oh Mom." Cody said. "Oh man." Zack said. I rolled my eyes. "Oh shut up." I said, elbowing him in the side. "What am I going to without you?" Carey said, after releasing Cody. "Don't worry I've prepared six months worth of casseroles. Their in the freeze. Bake at 315 for 45 minutes." Cody instructed. "Dang, that's a lot of casseroles." I said. "Does that include defrosting time?" Carey asked. "No mom, it never includes de-. I'll email you." Cody said before he and Zack swapped places. "I'm gonna miss you guys so much!" Carey said, trying to hug Zack. "Hey mom. Not a baby." Zack said, stepping back. "Your right your not. Don't know what happened but you guys don't need me to tie your shoe laces, or remind you to wear sweaters, which you all three of you should be doing because its very breezy out here on this deck." Carey said. We gave her a look. "Sorry force of habit." "Carey, they'll be fine." I assured her. "I know. Well then, bye Zack." Carey said, holding her hand out. "Bye mom." Zack said, shaking her hand. Carey turned to leave, but Zack wouldn't let go. "Honey you okay?" Carey asked. "Yeah sure. See ya." Zack said. "Okay." Carey said, turning to leave again. "Mommy don't go!" Zack said, falling to one knee and hugging her waist. I sighed and went to my cabin to unpack. We were all supposed to have a roommate, but my room only had one bed. I'm pretty sure my uncle got me this room for free, too. ********** I had just made it into the crowd and looked around for the twins. I bumped into someone and realised it was Zack. "Hey, late as usual." He whispered. I nodded. "Then why do they call him a purser?' London asked as we entered the Marine Biology Lab. "I don't know, but I do know that it is not his job to hold your purse." Tutweiler said. "Fine, then you hold it." London said, tossing her purse to Tutweiler. "Oh good grief, what is in this?" Tutweiler asked. "My allowance." London said shrugging. Tutweiler handed London's purse back to her. "Moving on. This is the state of the art Marine Biology Lab." Tutweiler said. "Which my daddy paid for!" London exclaimed. "Can I go now?" "No, now if you will follow me we will go up one deck to the Planetarium." Tutweiler said. "I don't know what that is, but my daddy paid for it!" London said. "Can I go now?" "No!" Tutweiler replied. "Though nothing would make me happier." She said. Everyone left the lab except for Zack, Cody and I and Zack's roommate, Bailey, and Cody's roommate, Woody. "That's one good looking Cephalopod." Cody said as he, Bailey, and I were looking at the octopus. "Yeah, and you know, they're highly intelligent, they can even be taught how to open jars." Bailey said. "Stupid jar!" Zack said trying to open the jar of octopus food. "We should get a hammer!" Woody said. "Yes!" Zack agreed. I rolled my eyes. "Woody what are you doing?!" Bailey asked as Woody picked up the octopus. "Ew its mushy!" Woody exclaimed. "And delicate!" I said. The octopus squirted ink at Woody causing us to laugh. He threw the octopus to Zack who got squirted with the ink. Zack threw the octopus to Cody who got squirted with the ink. Cody threw it to me and I got squirted with the ink. I threw it to Bailey who got squirted with the ink. And Bailey threw it out the port hole. "No!" Cody exclaimed. We all rushed over to the port hole and Cody peered outside it. "Can you see it?" Bailey asked. "Yes, it's stuck to the side of the boat. Hold my legs and lower me down I think I can reach it." Cody instructed. Zack, Woody and I grabbed his legs and lowered him down. "Okay, I think I got him!" We started pulling him in but we weren't quick enough. "Seagull's attacking, seagull's attacking!" Cody shouted. "Don't hurt the octopus!" Bailey called. "No it's alright I'll just let them peck my eyes out instead" Cody said sarcastically. "Pull me in!" He said. Me and Zack started pulling him in but Zack accidentally pulled his pants down. "Are those Share-Bears?" Woody asked smiling. Bailey and I started laughing. "This is a nightmare!" Cody shouted. "Not to pretty from this side either." Zack said. We finally managed to pull Cody in. "Maybe their still in the lab." I heard a voice say. "Quick! Tutweiler's coming!" I said. Cody tossed the octopus to me and I put it back in the water. Cody pulled up his pants and we all crowded around the tank. "What in the world is going on here?" Tutweiler asked. "Nothing." We all said in sync, trying to act innocent. Cody let go of his pants causing them to fall. "Huh, are those Share-Bears?" She asked. We all went to our cabins to clean up. ********** After getting cleaned up, we went to the arcade. "So why didn't you want to switch roommates?" Cody asked Zack as we entered the arcade. "We figured opposites attract." Zack said. "And by opposites he means like in clean and messy, not like like boy and girl." Bailey said. Zack and Bailey went to go play a game of pool while Cody followed them. "I hate this stupid sea school, I hate this stupid boat!" London said storming into the arcade. "Hey, Galaxy Raider games open!" Zack exclaimed. "I love this stupid boat!" London said. "Dibs on the gold headset!" We all ran over and put the headphones on and the music was really loud. We were in the middle of the game when I noticed everyone was gone. I tapped on Cody's shoulder who looked up and also noticed. We all took off our headphones. "Boy, that's a loud bell! I can barely hear myself not think!" London said, causing me and Cody to give her a look. "What do three consecutive bells mean?" Bailey asked. Cody started naming them off and we all screamed thinking the ship was sinking. "Which way?" Zack asked. "Uh, port!" I said. We all ran to one of the ports except for London. "London! Your other port!" I shouted. She came running in our direction. "Hurry! The boat is already tipping over!" London said, falling into the wall. "No, you just broke your heel." Bailey said. "Worse!" London said. We all slid on a life jacket except for London. "Ugh, are they all orange? I need to go change!" London said, starting to walk away. I pulled her back and Cody put one on her. "Look, there's an exit! Let's get out of here!" Zack said. We all ran for the door and ran into it. "One at a time, one at a time!" Cody said. "Right!" We all said in sync. Zack opened the door and we all went through at the same time and fell overboard. "We fell overboard!" Cody said. "Why is the ocean so hot?" I asked. "Probably because its a hot tub!" Mr Moseby said. "Why is there a hot tub in the middle of the ocean?" London asked. I rolled my eyes and stood up. "Here's your hat Bailey... Dude, your a girl!" Cody said, holding Bailey's hat out. Tutweiler dropped her clipboard on Moseby's foot, causing me to laugh. "I am? That explains so much!" Bailey said. ********** We all got towels and dried off. We sat down at the Juice Bar and I watched Miss Tutweiler talk to Bailey. "Miss Pickett, why on earth would you mascaraed as a boy?" Tutweiller asked. "I don't know." Bailey said. "Yes you do. It was her only chance of getting out of Popcorn Kansas." Zack said. "Kettlecorn." Bailey corrected him. "Whatever. Anyway, Seven Seas High was Bailey's one chance to get off the farm. You can't seen her back to Carmelcorn." Zack said. "Kettlecorn!" I corrected him. "Well, Bailey, your application was by far the most impressive." Tutweiler said. "Wait a minute, what about my essay on barnacle reproduction? I added pictures!" Cody said. "Can I see them?" Woody asked smiling. "Bailey, I'd let you stay but we don't have a cabin to put you in." Tutweiler said. "She can stay in my room. I'm willing to take one for the team." Zack exclaimed. Moseby hit him with Bailey's hat. "I meant a girl's cabin. Every girl has a room mate except for Kylie, her uncle paid extra for a single room." Tutweiler said. "And me!" London exclaimed happily. "London, thank you, thank you!" Bailey said running over to her. "Huh?" London asked confused. "London, its so nice of you to offer to share your room with Bailey." Moseby said. "I wasn't offering, I was gloating!" She ripped her necklace off and handed it to Bailey. "Here's a diamond necklace! drop out!" She demanded. "I wouldn't drop out of this school for all the money in the world!" Bailey said. "I can get that!" London replied. "No!" Bailey shook her head still smiling. "I want to stay here and become your BFF!" She gave London a big hug. "Get O.F.F.!" London said. Bailey quickly got off. "I will not share my room!" London complained. "Well, you will if you want to stay in this school." Moseby said. "I don't!" she replied. "Hasn't anyone been listening to anything I've said? Stupid. Sea. School! It's just a big pain in the butt!" London said throwing her towel to the floor. I noticed the octopus stuck to her butt. We all laughed and went to our cabins.
