-1A/N: Hey guys! I'm back again with a new story. I hope you all like it. This is my first Zack and Maddie story. Yes this is another prom story, but it's the only thing I can think of at the moment. Also I'm going to go ahead and let you all know that this is going to be a short story. The chapters are going to be short as well. This is only because this was only an idea I had and I'm stretching it out as much as I can.

A Night To Remember

It was an early spring morning in March of the year 2010. Next month Cheevers High School would be holding their junior/senior prom. As prom seemed to get closer the more distant Zack became. He really didn't speak to anyone in the past few months. He only had one thing on his mind. It was Maddie and the promise she made to him five years ago. Did she remember that promise or would she be a no show and forget all about her promise?

He hadn't seen Maddie since she moved away to college three years ago. She was attending college in New York. Zack remembered watching Maddie leave the Tipton. As she walked out of the doors for the last time he felt his heart drop. That happiness he once had was suddenly gone. He watched her walk out to the cab and waved goodbye to her. She waved back and gave him a smile. Zack couldn't manage a smile he was to upset. He watched the cab drive off and turn the corner and he never again saw her. He had no idea what she was up to at this point in her life. He knew she probably didn't remember him at all which killed him to think that.

As Zack and Cody arrived at school they walked up the stairs. As Cody arrived at the door he turned around and saw his brother slowly walking up the stairs. Cody didn't know what was bothering his brother. Zack would not speak to him about his problem. He didn't know what could be upsetting Zack he had everything going for him. He was the most popular guy at school. He was the captain of the basketball team and he was elected most attractive male under senior superlatives. What could possibly be bothering him.

"Okay Zack." Cody sighed as Zack stopped next to him. "What's bothering you?"

"Nothing." He replied walking past Cody into the school. Cody grumbled a little bit and ran after him.

"Zack!" Cody called after him. "Talk to me." He said walking beside his brother.

"Nothing is bothering me okay!" Zack yelled looking at his brother. "Now stop asking me that."

"Sorry." Cody said as Zack walked off down the hall towards his locker.

Zack stopped at his locker and opened it up. When Corbin Howard, the most popular girl in the school saw Zack. She was captain of the varsity cheerleading squad and was elected most attractive female under senior superlatives. She and Zack had a lot in common. When she and Zack dated last year people thought they were the perfect couple. Their relationship lasted only a couple months because Corbin didn't want to get to serious. She made sure her hair was perfect and that she looked good and slowly walked over to Zack.

"Hey Zack." She said leaning against the locker next to him.

"Hey Corbin." He said looking at her as he shut his locker.

"So Zack, you know prom is next month?" She said twirling her hair as she spoke to him.

"Yeah, how can I forget." He said. "It's posted everywhere."

"So I was wondering if you had a date for the prom yet?" She asked.

"No, I don't have a date." He said.

"Really?" She said, "Well, I don't either and I was wondering if maybe you would like to go with me."

"Corbin, why would I go with you to prom?" Zack asked.

"Because we are like the hottest people in the school, and it is only right if the two hottest people in school go together." She said. Zack laughed a little.

"Yeah right." Zack said, "I'm not going to prom with you." He said and walked off towards his classroom. Corbin gave him a dirty look and walked off in the opposite direction.

Zack made his way to class and sat down in his seat. He got out his books and notebook when a note was placed on his desk by the guy in front of him. He looked at the guy and he pointed to the blond girl that was sitting in the front of the class diagonal from him. Zack looked over at the girl and saw her blushing. He arched an eyebrow and opened up the note.

Do you have a date for the prom? is what the note read. Zack rolled his eyes and sighed. He picked up his pen and scribbled a note back to her.

The note was placed back on her desk and she glanced over at Zack and saw him staring at her. She opened the note and read it. No, I don't have a date for prom, I'm not going. is what she read. The girl sighed and threw the note in the garbage. A moment later the morning announcements came on.

"Good morning Cheevers, this is Cody Martin, senior class president with your morning announcements. As we all know the junior/senior prom is next month, and this is the moment you all have been waiting for. The prom committee has finally come up with a theme. The prom theme this year is A Night In Paris: A Night To Remember. Lets let the memories be made. The photographer will be there and if you plan to take pictures please bring your package information and give it to the photographer. Also in the cafeteria today a table will be set up outside and you can elect your prom king and prom queen. See you at the polls and have a good day." He said and ended the morning announcements.

At lunch Zack saw Cody sitting at the table where everyone was electing prom king and prom queen. He walked over to the table and stood in front of Cody. Zack looked even more upset than he was earlier. Cody looked up and smiled at his brother.

"Are you here to elect prom queen and prom king?" He asked.

"No." He said standing next to his brother. "I don't want to hear anything else about prom. I'm sick of it. Every single girl has come up to me and asked me if I want to go to prom with them."

"And your complaining?" Cody asked a little surprised. "Since when?"

"Cody, this is serious." Zack said. "I can't go to prom."

"What are you talking about?" Cody asked.

"Cody, I'm supposed to be at my prom with Maddie." He said.

"Are you serious?" Cody asked. "You still remembered that?"

"Yes, you know I've always loved her and I'm not going to forget what she promised me." Zack said.

"Zack, come on." Cody said. "Do you really think she is going to remember that?"

"I don't know." Zack answered. "That's why I don't want to go she more than likely probably won't show up and I'd be heart broken again the same way I was when she left for college."

"Zack come on, you can't let something like that stop you from going to your senior prom. This is it Zack we have no more proms after this. I think we should go and enjoy it. Like you said any girl here will more than likely go to prom with you. So I think you should go for it and go to prom." He said smiling.

"I don't care about any girl here. All I care about is Maddie." He said and walked off back into the school.

Cody watched his brother walk back into the school and shook his head. He has never seen Zack this down. Well, at least not since Maddie left for New York back in 2007. He didn't get why Zack suddenly got depressed. He seemed so over Maddie. He watched as Zack turned the corner and then turned his attention back to the girl in front of him.

"Here you go, elect your prom queen and prom king." He said handing her a ballot. She smiled and took the paper from him.
