This is my first shot at a Suite Life fanfic. Reviews are awesome, but flames are not :)

London and the Spiders

Zack hammered impatiently on his twin brother's cabin door. It wasn't often he was up this early, and he was already in a sour mood. But nothing would be able to overshadow this wonderful day. Not even Monday mornings.

Cody opened his door and stared at Zack in shock. "What are you doing up this early?"

Zack pushed past his brother and into his cabin. He rolled his eyes at his brother's immaculate half of the room and nodded approvingly at Woody's sloppy and messy side. "Did you forget what day it is?"

Cody ran to his calendar in panic. "It's not Mom's birthday is it?"

Zack sighed impatiently. "Unless Mom's birthday is on April 1st, then no."

Realization dawned on Cody's face. He stared at the date and it was indeed April Fool's day. How could he have forgotten? It was Zack's job to forget stuff, not his. But then again, there was nothing he liked more than a good prank. Except for maybe girls...and food.

"Don't you think we're getting a little too old for this kind of stuff?" Cody asked.

Zack widened his eyes in horror. "How could you say a thing like that? This is tradition! Ever since we moved into the hotel we've been playing pranks on Mr. Moseby and the other staff members! Now we're in a whole new setting with a world of opportunities waiting for us!"

"I've never seen you this passionate about anything," Cody remarked.

"There are only three things worth getting passionate about; video games, food and pranks." Zack stated seriously. "I've picked the targets; now we just gotta come up with the pranks."

Cody leaned over Zack's shoulder and peered at the paper in his hand. He grinned as he saw the names scribbled on the list in his messy scrawl. "Moseby on the bottom of the list again?"

"Of course. It's hilarious to see him panic the entire day and be paranoid." Zack exclaimed.

Cody looked at the list again and thoughtfully scratched his chin. "London's first...we should definitely do something with spiders."

Zack quirked an eyebrow. "I thought this was too immature for you."

"You can't break tradition." Cody reminded his twin and smiled. "Now come on. We have some work to do."

...

The two boys crept down the corridor and came upon London and Bailey's room. Zack grinned wickedly and wiggled his jar of spiders. Cody glanced at the black wiggling insects with slight disgust. "Where did you get those?"

"I have connections," Zack whispered and jiggled the doorknob. "It's locked!"

Cody rolled his eyes. "You don't expect the richest girl on the boat to keep her door unlocked do you?"

"It's London. In case you haven't noticed, she isn't the smartest knife in the drawer."

"You mean the sharpest knife in the drawer." Cody corrected.

"Whatever." Zack stuffed the jar into Cody's hands. Cody held the jar as far away from him as possible and watched as Zack pulled a paper clip out of his pocket and started picking the lock. Cody sighed and shook his head.

"Somehow I expected this of you."

Zack gently pushed the door open and crept inside. "What the-"

Cody tucked the jar gingerly under one arm and slapped his hand over his brother's mouth. He surveyed the dark room and frowned. "Looks like London's a bit more alert and smarter than we thought."

Red beams crisscrossed around the small room. London was snoring loudly, a pink silk sleep mask covering her eyes. Bailey's bed was made and she was nowhere in sight.

"I don't know how she can live in these conditions..." Cody muttered. Zack jerked at his wrist and Cody removed his hand. Zack surveyed the situation before them before turning to Cody.

"Well?"

Cody rolled his eyes and glanced at the red beams thoughtfully. He glanced at the desk to their right and spotted a mirror. He picked it up and shoved the spiders back to Zack. He bent down and put the mirror in front of the lasers. They beams instantly were re-projected to the side, allowing Zack to slip through.

"And I thought those spy movies were just a waste of time." Cody said.

Zack carefully unscrewed the lid and hurriedly dumped the spiders on London's bed. He bolted for the door and Cody put the mirror back on the desk.

"This is gonna be great!" Zack whispered excitedly.

...

London frowned and sleepily wiped her nose. It sure was itchy for some reason. Now her arms were itchy too...and her neck! Maybe it was that lotion she was using...

London yawned and sat up tiredly. She yanked off her sleeping mask and leaned over and turned on the light.

And screamed.

Dozens of icky spiders were crawling all over her! London shrieked loudly and jumped up, frantically flinging the disgusting things off of her and whipping them in any direction-mostly towards Bailey's bed. Her foot struck a beam and her cabin was filled with blaring alarms.

"INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT!"

"APRIL FOOLS!" Zack and Cody shouted. They both ducked to avoid the heeled boot whipped at their heads and ran down the hall, shaking with laughter and leaving London to her dilemma.

"That was so cool!" Zack cheered and removed a pen from his pocket and scratching off London's name with flourish.

"It was pretty funny," Cody agreed. "So, who's next?"

Zack smirked. "Bailey."

Cody gulped. Uh oh...this is not going to end well.

If you guys have any prank ideas, I would love suggestions :) Review please!
