JuTJuTJuT: Hey guys i'm JuTJuTJuT! I've been a member of for over two years now (I used to have an old profile but i deleted it) and i am just now publishing my first real story. I'm pretty excited about it even though it's not very good lol It's slightly AU as I have added my own original charcater Noah Hawkhauser-Martain whick is Arwin and Carey's four year old son, Zack and Cody's little brother. Please review as I need to know if my work is appreciated and that my readers want me to continue. I'll try to update pretty reguarly i'm going for at least one chapter every day (depending on reviews) and now without further ado...let the story begin!
Disclaimer: Woops almost forgot the stupid disclaimer...I do NOT own SLOZAC or SLOD. Oh yeah and I also don't own Green Day :/
One, Twenty-one guns, lay down your arms and give up the fight…one, twenty-one guns throw up your arms into the- "Hello"?
"Hi Cody! How is my 'little man'?"
Cody instantly recognized the cheery voice on the other end of the line as his mother. "Hey Mom, I'm great how are Arwin and Noah doing?"
"Oh the usual Arwin is still managing to destroy the suite at least once a week with his wacky inventions and Noah can't stop talking about how much he can't wait to see his older brother's this weekend."
Cody smiled warmly at the thought of seeing his family soon and began to reminisce of life back at the Tipton.
With an exasperated sigh Carey tried to explain to her boys that she just had no interest in being romantically involved with Arwin Hawkhauser.
"Boys for the last time I'm just not interested in Arwin. Yes he's a nice guy and he means well but he's so, so…" She tried desperately to search for a word to describe the clumsy maintenance worker but to no avail. "Arwin, he's just so Arwin."
"Just so Arwin?" Zack said incredulously "What the Heck does that even mean?"
Cody put a hand on Zack's shoulder as if saying let him try and do the talking.
"Oh come on Mom, will you please stop being so stubborn and at least consider Arwin for a companion! Sure he's not the best looking guy, and he lives with his mother but he cares about you. He cares about us, why can't you just give him a chance? Don't you want to be happy? This is your first real shot at happiness since…since Dad."
Zack nods his head in agreement and then begins to speak.
"Yeah Mom Cody and I can't stand all the jerks that you bring home. They act like the perfect guy in front of you but when you're not around they treat us like crap!"
"Hey, language!" Carey scolded.
"Sorry" Zack says sheepishly "But it's true and we actually like Arwin!
"And our opinion counts on who you date too! You can't just fall in love with a guy that treats your kids badly" Cody interjected.
Carey stopped and for the first time really listened to what her sons were saying regarding Arwin. She knew for a fact that men didn't like getting involved with women who already had children, and the few that actually did bother with her just wanted to ship Zack and Cody off to military school. She knew her twins were a handful, no scratch that sometimes she thought they were the spawns of Satan with half of the shenanigans they pull on a day to day basis but under no means should that give men the right to want to send them away. After all…boys will be boys. After mentally weighing the odds she reluctantly agreed.
"ONE date" she said firmly. "And if I'm still not into him then it is the end of all this nagging over Arwin."
"Deal!" both twins said with an accomplished look on their faces. Then they both struck a pose and wiggled their finger's together yelling "AYI! AYI! AYI! AYI!"
Carey couldn't help but smile at her sons enthusiasm about her going out with Arwin and then began to think that maybe it wasn't such a bad idea at all, and it turns out it actually wasn't. Carey was finally able to look past Arwin's awkward traits such as his clumsiness and saw him for the sweet, caring man that he really was. After 4 months of them going strong Carey discovered that she was pregnant with a baby boy. Noah Zachary Cody Hawkhauser-Martin. Arwin proposed to Carey after Noah was born and they have been engaged since then. That was four and half years ago and now the twins are 16
"Cody? Cody you still there?"
Cody snapped out of his daze "Yeah sorry, what did you say?"
Carey began again "I said I can't wait to meet your 'mystery girl'!"
Huh? Why would Mom think that I had a 'mystery girl'?
"What are you talking about Mom?"
Cody could practically hear the smile on her face when she said
"Don't play dumb with me, Zack told me all about how you have a 'special someone' that you were going to bring home this weekend when the boat docks, and I'm looking forward to meeting this 'mystery girl' and your brother's girlfriend Maya."
I'M GOING TO KILL HIM! How could Zack do this? He knows that I'm not ready to tell Mom and Arwin…everything as yet. I swear sometimes I wish it was just me and Noah!
"Oh that mystery girl'" Cody nervously chuckled out. "Yeah I don't think she's going to want to come"
"HA!" Carey laughs out "Honey I love you but know that I'm not joking when I say you can't come home unless she's with you."
Oh Great this just keeps getting better and better…I. HATE. ZACK.
Cody was then suddenly yanked out of his thoughts from the whining of a four year old Noah begging to talk to him.
"Come on Mommy let me talk now PLEASEEEE!"
"Ugh, your brother is driving me insane he wants to talk to you." There is a bunch of muffled sounds and then Carey's voice becomes audible once more "Here Noah, you need to stop whining it's really starting to aggravate me!"
"CODY!"
Cody quickly jerks the phone away from his ear due to the sound of Noah's high-pitched squeal. Ouch, that was loud. Cody then slowly began bringing the phone back to his face
"Hey Noah-Bear!"
"Hi Cody I really miss you" sadness evident in his voice.
"I miss you too buddy. Are you being a good boy for Mommy and Arwin?"
"Yup!" he answers brightly.
"NO HE'S NOT!" Carey shouts and then Cody begins chuckling.
"Don't listen to her!" Noah whispers "She's coo coo for coco puffs" he bursts into laughter at his own joke. You gotta love little kids. "Is Zacky with you?"
"No he's working on the sky deck right now but I'll tell him you guys called"
After listening to his little brother ramble about his adventures in pre-school for a little while longer Cody then spoke to his mother once more before hanging up.
Flipping his phone shut Cody started to think about the problematic situation his twin put him in. Zack you've gotten me in deep shit before with your big mouth but this time you ruined everything. As soon as he gets off his shift I'm going straight to his cabin so that he can fix this…enough is enough!
Well there you have it folks chapter 1! Please Review.
