A Tipton Christmas

A/N: Yes, I know it is nowhere near Christmas, but I decided to do this anyway. The first chapter was short, but I'm going to make the rest longer. I hope you enjoy the first chapter!

It was 7:00 PM on December 14th while Mr. Moseby carefully placed the bright star atop the beautiful mellow green Tipton Christmas Tree. It was nicely decorated with multi-colored lights a green ornaments with a gold 'T' printed on them. He then stepped back to look at it. He always enjoyed Christmas. Not only did it bring in a lot of business, but also Zack and Cody weren't destroying the hotel. Also, all the guests were usually in their rooms, so it was peaceful in the lobby.

The elevator beeped and Zack and Cody stepped out. Zack jumped down the two stairs and immediately turned to the candy counter while Cody sat in front of the fireplace, admiring the Christmas Tree.

"Hey sweet thing," Zack exclaimed. Maddie rolled her eyes without a reply. "You staying here this Christmas?" Zack asked. "Yes, my family decided to spend Christmas here at the Tipton," replied Maddie. "Me too," said Zack smoothly, and Maddie just rolled her eyes again. "Are you actually getting anything here this time?" asked Maddie. "Surprisingly, yes. I want two of those new Christmas bars!" Maddie got out two small rectangular candy bars that were decorated with red and green stripes. Zack got out a dollar and set it on the counter as he got the bars, and went to sit next to his twin brother.

The two were there for around an hour and a half talking about random stuff as the sun set outside. Once it got night time, Zack got up and glanced one more time at the Christmas tree before getting up. He then noticed that his brother was asleep. He kicked him in the foot to wake him up.

"Hey, what was that for?" Cody asked as he slowly got up. "I was waking you up," said Zack, grinning. "You could have done it a little less painfully!" said Cody. "Nope, that's impossible," said Zack. They both got on the elevator and rode it up to the floor their suite was on, and then stepped out of the elevator. They noticed that their mom was asleep on the couch with an ornament in her hand. She hadn't gotten done on the tree yet. Cody went into their bedroom and Zack decided to have a little fun. He grinned as he took his hand and crept it along his mom's shoulder like a spider. Her eyes slowly opened, and then she jumped and started swatting her shoulder. Zack laughed while clutching his stomach. "Get to bed, Zack," Carrie said, rolling her eyes. He went to his bedroom, still laughing.
