Bangkok
1
"Zack, I thought you always wanted to go to Bangkok," Cody said, looking up from his laptop.
"I never said that! Let's just hope there are hot babes to flirt with." Zack gave Cody a wink. Cody rolled his eyes, looking back at his laptop.
"Zack, its Thailand. Not Vegas. Plus, you're twenty-two years old."
"What does that have to do with anything?" Cody gave Zack a did-you-seriously-just-ask-me-that look.
"Don't you think you can get a girl without using one of your cheesy pick-up lines?" Cody asked.
"Well, at least I can get a girl without going on a scavenger hunt to get Hannah Montana tickets in Hawaii. Kind of like you winning Bailey's heart." Cody's face gave the saddest look you could think of. He hated to hear Bailey's name, it always reminded him of how he had to end the relationship and break Bailey's heart because Cody was going to Yale and Bailey was going to Arizona State. It just wouldn't work. I mean, sure, they would see each other during Christmas and Thanksgiving, but that was it. They could barely see each other, and Cody had to break Bailey's heart. He didn't want to, be he had too. He still wasn't over her.
"Don't start with me. I had to buy your fricking passport for you, Mr. I Don't Have Any Money."
"Hey, I left my wallet at home." He sat up and said, "I have to go to the bathroom."
"That's your fifth time."
"Hey, you've got to admit that its fun taking a pee eight thousand feet in the air." With that he walked down the aisle to the bathroom. Cody rolled his eyes again and looked back at the laptop, frustrated that his computer screen was frozen.
"Hey, Zack?" Zack put his PSP away as Cody put his laptop away, as they were about to land. Zack looked at Cody.
"Are you mad at me for dragging you along?" Cody asked, biting his lip.
"No way, man. I know you didn't want to fly solo. I'm glad I'm coming along." Zack assured. "But you have to promise me one thing, Cody."
"What's that?"
"Next time, I get window seat." Zack grinned. Cody returned the grin. Cody returned his attention to the window. The plane began its landing. It landed with a big bump and it slowed down, soon halting to a gentle stop. Everybody got up and got their luggage and exited the plane. When Cody and Zack entered the airport they decided to get something to eat and head to get a rental car. When they were done eating they exited the airport and got on a bus that led them out of the airport and to a Mercedes rental car place. They got a car and drove to the hotel that they had booked. While driving to their destination, Zack kept looking out the window, looking out at Bangkok.
"Pretty cool, huh?" Cody asked, looking over at Zack who had a grin on his face.
"Yeah, it is. Oooh, that girl is an 8, don't you think?" Zack asked, pointing to a girl on the sidewalk. Cody rolled his eyes. Cody took a quick glance at the girl on the sidewalk.
"Zack, I'm pretty sure that girl has a boyfriend."
"What makes you say that?"
"Well, for one thing, that guy is holding her hand."
"Eh, it could be her dad."
"Well, that would be awkward because they're kissing." Zack looked back at the girl to find her kissing the guy fiercely.
"Oh. Awkward." Cody started bursting out laughing as Zack said that. He started to tear up.
"Okay, okay, I'm done." He wiped the tears from his eyes and smiled. "Good luck getting that girl."
"Good luck getting that girl," Zack mimicked Cody in a girlish voice. Cody rolled his eyes and just drove off.
They reached the hotel at 10:00 in the morning and entered the lobby. "Oh." Cody said. "My." Zack said. "God." Cody replied, looking around. The lobby was everything you could imagine. The Tipton Bangkok's lobby had a fountain that towered to the ceiling of the lobby. There were 80 inch TV's, a huge store for grocery's, and you could see the elevators going up and down like on the S.S. Tipton. They were going up and down through clear white tubes. They went up to the front desk and a familiar face was reading a book.
"Hello, how may I help you?" the person asked, looking up from his book.
"Mr. Moseby!" Zack exclaimed, shocked at their sudden meeting.
"Yes, how do you know my name? Ah, my nametag, duh," said Mr. Moseby, pointing at his nametag on his shirt. Cody laughed.
"You don't recognize us, do you, Mr. Moseby?" Cody asked, grinning from ear to ear.
"No I don't. Who are yo-" Mr. Moseby suddenly gasped and then grinned widely. "Boys, what are you doing here?!" Mr. Moseby exclaimed from the behind the desk. He walked to the front of the desk and hugged them both.
"A better question would be, what are you doing here?" Zack asked, laughing.
"Ah, well, London's father said I could now work at any hotel of his so I chose this one!"
"Cool! Why did he let you do that?" Cody asked.
"Well, I caught a hooligan trying to drop an anchor on a propeller, which reminds me, Zack, that you've inspired people."
"Cool! I'm always happy to learn that people enjoy my work." Zack grinned. Mr. Moseby rolled his eyes and said, "I don't remember you booking. Eh, it was probably another person on the phone with you."
"Yeah, I didn't recognize the voice on the phone, so it probably wasn't you." Mr. Moseby nodded and said, "I will get someone to carry your luggage to your room." He rang the bell and the bellhop grabbed a cart and put their luggage on the cart. "You will be staying in Room 123." Mr. Moseby gave Cody the room key and the extra one. Zack started laughing. "What's so funny?" Mr. Moseby asked when the bellhop went to put the luggage in their room.
"Ha ha. Room 123." Mr. Moseby and Cody rolled his eyes.
"So, Mr. Moseby, I see that you've grown," Cody said, grinning.
"Yeah, he probably grew an inch since we last saw him," Zack said, smiling. Mr. Moseby gave Zack the evil look that wiped that grin off Zack's face.
"For your information, Zack, I have grown 5 inches, thank you very much." Zack raised an eyebrow.
"That's it? I'm just kidding, is that a record for four years?" Mr. Moseby gave another evil look.
"Nice to see you too, Zack. Enjoy your stay," he said to Cody and Zack.
"Thanks," Cody said, grabbing the room keys and heading to the elevator with Zack.
