17 to Life

They were always destined to travel down separate paths. They always knew they were eventually going to have deal with their own problems alone. But sometimes, no matter how brave the face or how strong the mind - certain situations simply outdo the wisdom of your years.

1. Introduction

Hello out there to all the inner children who - like my inner child - continue to be completely smitten with all things Zack and Cody :)

Before we dive into this story, I just thought I'd provide you with a bit of background info. For those of you who don't know me - hey! My name is Reney, and I started writing Suite Life stories waaaay back in 2008.

If you hapened to be around and reading some of my stuff in about 2009, you may remember a story I started to write entitled Not Afraid. I got about four or five chapters into that story before I put it on hiatus, my passion for it slowly continued to fizzle out, and then I ultimately deleted it from my profile.

In saying that - I would like to finally welcome you to the official re-write of the idea that my then sixteen year old self though up all those years ago, newly titled 17 To Life.

There's a couple of different reasons why I decided to resurrect this story and give it a more sincere shot. For one thing, after having spent a lot of time recently re-watching Zack and Cody, and On Deck, I basically felt an insane desire to write a story for this fandom again. Second of all, I was having a bit of trouble trying to come up with a totally new story idea until I remembered I still had all my old files backed up and just waiting to be investigated into and opened again. And thirdly, I definitely feel like at twenty-three now I've grown as both a writer and as a person and will be able to tackle some of the more serious issues laced throughout this story with a much more realistic and mature approach.

I'm certainly not making any promises about how quickly I'll be able to churn out regular chapter updates for this story ;) But I can assure you that I feel much more committed to it this time around and my definite goal is to see it through and complete it.

Through re-branding it and re-working the parts that I've already written - it's going to be a hell of a lot more enjoyable for me to write and for you to read now than what it would have been seven years ago :)

Thank you in advanced for reading, and I hope you have the best time coming on this journey with me!
