Prologue

"Hm, where did Zack go?" Cody Martin asked himself as he walked onto the sky deck.

He had thought that his brother would be working at the juice bar today, but he obviously wasn't. Cody had checked his brother's room, the game room, and the engine room to see if his brother was up to his usual mischief, but he wasn't anywhere to be found. Sighing, he continued looking around, seeing passengers and students on the SS Tipton. He looked over at the juice bar and couldn't help but let a smile slide onto his face. His friend and crush, Bailey Pickett was there, drinking a smoothie and reading a book.

Almost as soon as Cody had met her, he had a crush on her and has tried everything to get her to fall for him, but nothing has worked. She doesn't even know that he likes her, but it's just as well, Cody wasn't sure what he would do if he was finally able to tell her how he felt. He jumped when he realized that Bailey had noticed him looking at her and waved him over.

"Cody!" she called cheerfully.

"Oh, hi Bailey." Cody replied as if going onto the sky deck was a coincidence. "Didn't see you there."

"Really?" Bailey looked confused as she cocked her head to the side. "'Cause you were kinda staring at me."

"No I wasn't!" Cody denied quickly, looking like a deer caught in headlights. "I was, uh, looking at that sign! Behind you!"

Bailey turned around and Cody took a quick glimpse at the sign and flinched when he saw that it was a large sign for a two for one deal on smoothies. Bailey turned back around her and her confused look had turned into full blown confusion.

"But it's just a-"

"So, Bailey!" Cody stated loudly as he sat down next to her. "Have you seen my brother?"

"I would have smelled him before he reached me." Bailey giggled in reply. "He smells even worse than a pig rolling around in cow pies."

"Uh, right" Cody's eyes shifted back and forth, not exactly knowing what that had to do with anything. "But you're right about him smelling that bad. I don't think he knows what hygiene even is. I think he thinks that it's a way to greet someone named Gene."

"Or some kind of language he can't understand" Bailey added and the two chuckled a little bit.

"Hey, what's so funny?" Zack Martin, Cody's older twin brother, as ked as he walked up with Cody's roommate, Woody Fink. Bailey and Cody stopped laughing when they saw that the two were holding onto slingshots.

"Zack, what are you going to do with that?" Bailey asked as she stood up slowly, eyeing the slingshot that he was holding tightly.

"Oh," Zack ginned and held up the slingshot, pulling the string back a little bit and pretending to take aim. "Woody and I are going to use these to shoot cherries at old people and see how they react!"

"Woody, how did Zack talk you into this?" Cody asked as he nudged his brother aside. "I mean, this idea has groundings written all over it."

"Please, who's going to ground us?" Zack scoffed.

"I will!" Mr. Moseby replied as he walked over to Zack and Woody and took the slingshots out of this hands. "I don't want you to bother any of the guests, even if you are students here." He studied Zack. "Although I'm not sure how you were able to pass the first grade."

"I was surprised that he was able to pass kindergarten with his grades." Cody cracked. He and Bailey started to laugh together, being the top of the class, but stopped abruptly when they saw that Zack was glaring at them.

"Anyway, I have some new for you two," Mr. Moseby said as he turned to Zack and Cody. "Some of your friends, heaven forbid, are enrolling at seven seas high."

"Cool, who is it?" Zack asked, his eyes growing wide with excitement.

"I don't care, as long as they don't try and wreak havoc on this ship. I already have my hands full." He said and gave a death stare to Zack and Cody as he walked off to do his job, which was checking on the guests and making sure that they were having a good time.

Zack pulled a cherry out of his pocket, put it in the slingshot and took aim at Mr. Moseby's back.

"Don't even think about it!" Mr. Moseby called without turning around. Zack groaned and lowered the slingshot.

"Who do you think it is, Zack?" Cody asked, turning his twin's attention from the older man. "I don't think many people would be able to afford Seven Seas High."

"Who cares, as long as it's not Agnes." Zack replied, causing him and Cody to shiver out of fear of their 'friend' who had stalked them for a good time of their lives. "C'mon guys, let's go to the game room."

Zack, Cody, Bailey, and Woody headed towards the game room, Cody trailing further behind the others, deep in thought.

'It doesn't make sense, who would suddenly come to Seven Seas High, so late in the year? And if it was one of our really good friends, they would have told us that they were coming. Who could it be?'
