So I have had many ideas floating around my head for a Zack/Bailey for some time now. Anyways, for those of you who like Zack/Bailey, I hope you enjoy.

"Alright class, there is no homework tonight, just make sure you study for your test in a few days," Mrs. Tutweiller announced to the class as the bell rang. "Zack, Bailey, I want to talk to the two of you."

"I didn't do it," Zack said immediately.

"Whatever Zack did, I wasn't part of it," Bailey said quickly.

"It wasn't anything you did Zack, it's what you're not doing and that is passing. Even Woody is starting to improve since he has been a roommate with Cody," Mrs. Tutweiller told them.

"What does this have to do with me?" Bailey asked.

"Bailey, you are one of my best students. I want you to tutor Zack before he fails out of Seven Seas High."

"Why can't Cody do it?" Bailey wondered.

"Because I think if Cody was able to help Zack in school, it would have happened years ago. You are the only one of my students who can help him before he flunks," Mrs. Tutweiller answered.

"I'm standing right here," Zack pointed out.

"Fine, I'll tutor him," Bailey said with a displeased tone.

"Don't sound too excited now," Zack said to her.

"Now Bailey, here is Zack's last tests. Look over them and then you guys can get started," Mrs. Tutweiller handed her a few tests, all of which had a large F written at the top.

The sun began to set behind the horizon as Cody and Bailey sat at a table on the sky deck. They had become good friends and started hanging out since they realized they had a lot in common.

"Hey, I gotta go," Bailey said, getting up from her chair.

"Already?" Cody asked.

"Yeah, I have to go, uh, call home. I promised mom I would tell her how things were doing," she said quickly. She didn't know why she was lying to Cody about tutoring Zack, but something told her it wasn't his business, it was hers and Zack's.

"That's understandable. I think I'll go see if Woody and Addison want to play some mini-golf," Cody said as they both stood up.

"Well, I'll see you later," Bailey said as she picked up her school bag and walked off.

'That boy, I swear. Considering how smart he is, he is the most oblivious person I have ever met. I have tried everything to show I like him apart from kissing him and telling him straight to his face. But I'm not going to do that of course,' Bailey thought to herself as she walked towards Zack's room.

She didn't really pay attention to where she was going, but her feet pretty much led her straight to his door. She was about to knock on his door when she heard music faintly playing on the other side. There were no words, or at least there weren't from the part she heard, but only guitar.

'Wow, that guitar sounds so beautiful. I've never heard that song before. I wonder who it's by?' she thought to herself, before coming to her senses and knocking.

The music stopped a couple seconds after the knock reverberated through Zack's room. She saw the door open and Zack standing there.

"Hey Kansas, come on in," Zack said, moving out of the doorway so she could enter.

"What was that song that was playing before I knocked?" she asked him.

"I don't know, I just was testing out some new sounds. Why, did you like it?" Zack replied.

"Yeah, it was amazing. How come I didn't hear any lyrics?" she questioned him further.

"Maybe the artist hasn't found the perfect words to get his message across yet," Zack told her. "Anyways, what can I do for you?"

She simply picked up one of his textbooks laying on the ground and said, "tutoring."

"Oh, you guys were serious about that?" Zack asked surprised.

"Yes Zack, Mrs. Tutweiller said you could fail out of Seven Seas High if you don't get your grades up," she explained to him.

"If you're trying to motivate me already, it's not working."

"Well, let's just get started. I was looking over your History test and some of your answers where," she said, pausing for a second before continuing, "interesting."

"Like how?" he asked her.

"The question was: What was the outcome of Griswold V. Connecticut? (10 points)" Bailey read off the paper. "Your answer was: The clock was ticking down. Griswold was the clear underdog. They had managed to stay in the game so far and Connecticut was only up by two points with 10 seconds left on the clock. He ball gets thrown into play. Griswold's star player caught the ball and sunk a three pointer just as the buzzer rang. Griswold was the winner of this historic basketball game."

"I thought that was a legit answer," Zack said earnestly.

"For some reason, Mrs. Tutweiller only took off 5 points," Bailey pointed out. "I can't believe she gave you half credit for that BS answer."

"What can I say? My charm is a gift," he replied.

"Well anyways, we got a long way to go," she said, putting extra emphasis on long.

"Guess we're going to be spending a lot of time together then," Zack said mischievously.

"Look, if you're not going to take this seriously then I'm not going to waste my time."

"Ok, ok I'm sorry. Just don't go, I really need your help," he said, looking at the ground.

"Let's get started then."

And so they worked. Bailey soon discovered that Zack actually wasn't as stupid as he led everyone to believe. She couldn't figure out why he doesn't try in school, she had asked him at one point but he shrugged it off. She actually thought she was going to hate being forced to spend time with Zack, but she actually enjoyed it. She also learned that Zack was pretty funny when he's not doing it in a jerk kind of way. Though, she wasn't about to tell him any of this. Everyone already thought Zack's ego was big enough. After what seemed like a short time, Bailey looked up and saw that it was already 11:30.

"Oh crap," she said suddenly.

"What?" he asked.

"It's an hour and a half past student curfew. If Moseby catches me, I'm dead. I don't want to be in detention with all the delinquents," she said, gathering all her school stuff and shoving it into her bag.

"Hey, we aren't that bad," Zack said defensively. "Here, let me walk you back to your room. I know every shortcut and secret to this ship."

"Are you sure? What if you get caught?"

"I already have a pretty good status for detention anyway, so it's all good."

They left Zack's room and headed for Baileys room, which happened to be on the other side of the ship. Zack led her on the biggest detour she had ever taken on the ship, but Zack said that this route was usually always empty at this time. This did make her wonder just how much he actually left his room after curfew. They were about to turn into the hallway her room was in, when they heard voices coming from that hallway. Zack immediately grabbed her and pulled her against the wall.

"Do you hear that?" Zack whispered in her ear. "Moseby and Kirby."

"What do we do? They are coming this way," she whispered back.

"Come on," Zack said, grabbing her hand and pulled her in the opposite direction.

They were almost away when Bailey's cell phone went off. The Taylor Swift ringtone echoed through the empty hallways and was sure to carry towards Moseby and Kirby.

"Who is there? It better not be a student out after curfew," they heard Moseby call, coming closer towards them.

Luckily, Zack found a switch and flipped it, causing the lights to turn off in that hallway just as Moseby and Kirby entered it.

"I see two figures Mr. Moseby. It's too dark to see who it is. They are kinda short, so they gotta be students or midgets." they heard Kirby say through the darkness.

"Nonsense Kirby, the midget reunion was last month. Show yourselves and you will not get in as much trouble," Moseby said to them. He and Kirby were only thirty feet and closing.

Zack grabbed Bailey's hand again and they ran as though their lives depended on it.

I know that it's probably not much, but I'm hoping to make this a nice long fanfic. I would much appreciate reviews, as I like to know what the readers think. I will also try to update as soon as I can.
