Mystic Melody

PROLOGUE
Going to school on the SS Tipton is the best thing that's ever happened to me. And I'm being completely serious about that, because anything is better than living in Kettlecorn, Kansas. Don't get me wrong, Kettlecorn is nice and I miss my family there, but there's not much to do that's not about farming, and I always dreamed of being able to see the world. And trust me; I was finally able to live my dream. I applied to take a semester at sea on the SS Tipton (trust me, getting the money for it wasn't hard with my extended family) and I got it.
Unfortunately, at first I had to dress up and pretend to be a boy to get the spot.
My charade didn't last long either, before I knew it; I was floating in a hot tub with an airhead heiress and twin boys with my hair floating all around my face. Thankfully though, there was a space that had been opened after the heiress, London Tipton, paid her old roommate to leave, so I was able to stay.
I've been on the boat for about a year and a half, or maybe two, as I'm sixteen now, and it's been a blast. I made a lot of new friends, and really good ones in Zack and Cody, the twins, and even London. I became good friend with some of my other classmates too, but the best part was that we were touring the world. Every country that we went over in history is where the boat would dock, and that gave us time to go sightseeing and shopping. I have a lot of cool stuff to send back to my family in Kansas.
Everything is going great, but there's only one thing that I don't understand.
It seems that every time we go to a new country, Zack and Cody disappear for hours and when it's time to get back on the boat, they suddenly reappear, looking completely beat up. I've asked them countless times what was happening to them, but they just said that they kept getting into fights with each other, or rub the natives the wrong way, but I don't believe it.
It's just too much of a coincidence that it happens everywhere we go.
I've asked Cody about it, and he always hesitates, says that nothing is wrong, and immediately changes the subject. Cody and I are good friends and I'd like to believe that he wouldn't lie to me (which is the reason that I didn't ask Zack) but I can't help but think that he is.
All I know is I'm going to get to the bottom of it.
Even if it kills me…
A/N: Yes, before you ask, this IS an elemental story, but it's a little different. It's a Suite Life on Deck story with elementals. When I finished 'Did You Runaway, Did You Fall Apart' I asked people if they would want to see a Suite Life on Deck/Elemental story, and here it is. It's a little bit different from the others that I have written: There is more of a story, there's definitely a plot that I'm going to focus on, you learn more about my characters/borrowed ones, and it's not completely about romance. This is more of a friendship/adventure story than romance. So, I hope you guys enjoy it and let me know what you think of it so far. ^-^
