Summery: Maddie and her husband Will are going on a vacation aboard on S.S. Martin. In the same time, Zack is spending his vacation there with his wife Maya.

I do not own any of the characters. I've written the story though.

The story is mainly about Maddie&Zack, although I will mention London&Todd, Bailey&Cody, Bob&Barbara

Maddie POV – NYC

I swallowed. Jeez, I had no idea I would pack 7 bags! My husband's going to kill me. He's not really a fan of my fashion hobby. I felt a little like London. Back then when I lived at the Tipton I used to think she was just superficial, but now I know how happy a purse can make a lady. I glanced over the luggage. No, there was no way I would leave one of them here. I turned around and walked out of the bedroom. "Will, I'm ready! Could you come and help me carry the luggage", I yelled.

"Sure honey", he said as he went through the door. He was just about to pick up one of them when he stopped. "Please baby, don't say all of them are going with us", he sighed. I gave him the biggest smile I could as if that would help me convince him. And it surprisingly did.

"Well, I guess you're a lady and I've heard they like clothes and other stuff", he scoffed. I just smiled and whispered a "thank you" before taking my little purse for leaving the apartment. I helped him put all the 9 bags plus my own little purse in the elevator between him and myself. He just needed two bags.

"Feeling excited about the S.S. Martin?" he asked with a smile. I smiled back. "Yeah, really. But I don't think we're going to see the Martins though. I've heard they're really busy. I mean… It seems like they're working as much as London Tiptons Dad used to", I answered.

"Yeah, but it's really weird… "

"What's weird?" I asked.

"I mean… I'm a workaholic and I just think it's impossible to work more than I do" he said with a cocky smile on his face.

"Well, now when you finally admitted it-"

"Admitted what?"

"That you're a workaholic Will..! And you know I miss you when you're working. You should cut down a little."

"Well, someone has to support your purse-collection in your walk-in-closet back in the apartment" he said. "Not to mention you refuse to work…"

I sighed and gave him a kiss. It was Christmas today and we shouldn't be fighting.

Finally the elevator doors opened and we went outside the high building. Will waved for a cab and I knew- In about 17 hours we would board S.S. Martin to have a 2 weeks vacation and celebrate the New Year. It would be so much fun! I mean, we're going to see London and Todd again!

Zack POV - MIAMI

I jumped off the limocab to land and whistle to the people who were standing around the red carpet. Maya took it a little slower. I held out my hand for her to grab it. As she did, we both waved at the people who stood around the carpet screaming and we just smiled as we always had to do. I felt a little like royalty, although I despised it. I didn't grow up rich. I grew up in the Tipton although, but I was still not rich. I used to eat pizza, I didn't do a lot of fancy things… forget my homework…or at least "forget" and let my twinbrother do it. Speaking of Cody. We're sharing our company Zack&Cody Martin, but we call it the Martin instead of saying the full name.

"Welcome aboard, Mr and Mrs Martin" a young pretty lady said as we entered the large luxury cruiseship.

"Thank you Ms Owerell" I answered politely; still my big smile on my face.

Maya turned around and yelled something to the crew. I guess it was something about the luggage. She had just bought a new collection…again. I don't think I wanna know how much she spends a year. I'm pretty sure I would throw up.

She turned back towards me and rolled her eyes. I studied her. She had her brown-blonde hair in a ponytail, a Prada-jacket with black pumps. How do I even know this? Oh, yeah, she nags so much. She looked like a fashion icon, which she actually was. Most known as Zack Martins wife.

She let go of my hand and crossed the room. She started to talk to someone in the crew. I could tell you by the body language she told them to get our luggage to our suite. I walked myself to the candy-counter to buy some candy. Well, that was actually really not the reason why I used to hang there. It was because it reminded me of Maddie, when she worked at the Tipton and I lived there.

I hired only young girls to be a candy-counter girl. I didn't flirt with them though! I just liked to have a candy-counter girl. It felt like even if I hadn't seen Maddie for 7 years, it felt like the piece of my heart that was missing was replaced by the candy-counter girl as if she was Maddie. After the kiss when she visited the Tipton, we all acted like nothing happened. But I was completely broken. I didn't understand…I really didn't understand the whole situation. I just had to move on and forget, forget it like everybody else had done.

Oh no! Now I'm standing here, daydreaming again! I have to stop. Maya's my only one!

"Zack, I'll go to the suite. I have to get ready for the business dinner tonight", she said and kissed me. She opened her purse and took her cellphone out. She smiled at me. When she left she obviously called someone cause she held her phone against her ear.

"Zack-man! Hi!" I turned to face Cody, Bob and Todd. I gave them all a "hello-hug".

"So, how're you guys doing?" I asked. They all gave each other a look which I couldn't figure out what it meant, but I got my answer pretty soon.

"Great, but hard. Kids you know". Bob rolled his eyes. "Yeah, exactly", Cody and Todd agreed. Behind them I could see London carrying a child with a pink dress, holding a little Gucci-purse. That was Antonia. In her other hand she held a shy little boy- Mason. Beside her the nanny stood carrying her two other children – Roxanne and Cruz.

London were talking to Baily which was carrying Hilda and her other hand was busy trying to hold Jason. He was trying to escape. Barbara was carrying Esther. She had only one child. All of them had children. London-Todd, Cody-Bailey, Bob-Barbara. Sometimes I felt a little jealous. They seemed to have the perfect live, perfect private life … even if they worked as much as I did.

I said bye to Cody and Todd who had to help their wives with the kids. "I'll go to the suite and please buy some Ben&Jerry for Esther", Barbara shouted. After that she left. The lobby was pretty crowded with people now. All of them were standing in a long cue waiting for their turn to get their suite.

"So…Bob, how's it going with your company? Are you willing to open a boutique here at the S.S. Martin?" I asked.

"Well, you'll find out at the business-dinner toni… dude did you see that woman?" he exclaimed. I turned around quickly but couldn't see any woman that had a particular look. "Where? Who?" I asked.

"Oh, she disappeared in the crowd" he said disappointed. "Well-" I started but before I finished the sentence he interrupted me again. "She was hot! With a capital H!"

"Dude, Barbara is your wife" I said jokingly. Bob just smiled. "Barbara is the hottest! But that girl I just saw comes next after her" he said with a whistle. I just laughed and so did he. A crazy thought crossed my mind. Maddie… "What did she look like?" I asked.

"Oh, high class… Hot, but not dumb, but that's not really something I could tell by look. But by the way she moved and her clothes…that's high class. She was short, but I guess she had high heels after the rest of her look. She must have. And she had brown eyes….and brown hair" he said dreamy. "Oh" were all I said. At first I thought the girl he saw could be Maddie. But then he said brown hair and she had blonde hair. Unless she didn't dyed it, but I doubt she would be aboard. I slowly headed back to my suite were I always live when I'm here… which is pretty often since almost every meeting is here.

Maddie POV

"Finally" Will exclaimed as we entered the suite. "Little tired huh?" I asked. "Well yeah. I mean 2.00 am we were still home and now 8 pm were finally in our suite! I can't wait to see the restaurant. I'm starving!" he said. I just grinned at him. "I'm a little hungry too. I'm just going to unpack and then we can leave.

"Oh, God. Please hurry with those 7 bags!" he complained as he lay down onto the bed, first staring up to the ceiling but then slowly he closed his eyes. During the time I unpacked all of my clothes and make-up and other products that are important for me I studied him. He was around 6.1 and pretty strong. He had visible muscles but not a six-pack. He had black hair and every single little hair was at its place. When I was finished unpacking I chose a red dress to wear with matching high heels. I just had my wavy hair out, not a complicated hairstyle at all.

"Shall we?" I asked. Will sat up quickly. "Finally…! Again" he chuckled. He hooked his arm with mine and we went out to the restaurant that was out on the deck. The sky was so beautiful. The stars were so shiny… I knew this evening would be perfect.

It was a cue to get in to the restaurant, but it went pretty fast. In about 20 minutes it was our turn.

"So, welcome to S.S. Martin restaurant. This is a five-star restaurant and we always take our costumers names. Would you mind" the restaurant host smiled at us as he stood with his hand, waiting to write our names down in the computer he had besides him.

"Will and Madeleine Tyler" Will answered.

"Okay Mr and Mrs Tyler, follow this man" he said and a man behind the corner showed up. He took us upstairs to the second floor. It was a great view of the bar, the restaurant, the pool; which was empty by now, the people who took a walk around the cruiseship. And not to mention the sunset. I just stared. I knew Will would order a drink to me so I didn't have to pay any attention for that. My eyes just stared out over the sea, looking at the beautiful sunset. I was interrupted by an annoying noise. Oh, I knew that noise too well!

"Will! We are on a restaurant! Turn off your phone immediately!" I hissed in a whisper.

Will got a scared face. Obviously from me, thinking I would jump on him taking the phone and throwing it into the seawater. "Sorry hun, need to take this. It's my boss" he said, stood up and walked back into the restaurant. This restaurant also had a restaurant inside.

I slowly turned my gaze forward instead of letting my eyes hunt my husband. I saw a gang. They seemed to have fun. They were talking loud and laughing. I saw men sitting with their wives. Why couldn't I have that? I glanced over them once again. The women were beauties and the men we're also good-looking. My eyes stopped at one of them. Something with his eyes. Something about that guy… I could see that man was familiar. I didn't know what. Or I guess it's just because I'm attracted to him. I mean, take a look at him. He has that perfect hair any woman would love to drag her fingers through. He has that body, that muscular tall body. He moved himself slowly and gently. I tried to catch his eyes but then I saw him put an arm around a woman. She took up a napkin and wiped his mouth. I could see the ring on her finger. It was a really big diamond. But I have a big diamond too, so I wasn't jealous about that. Just the man she got. I saw how he leaned in for a kiss.

Zack POV

I felt like someone was watching me. Well not a surprise since I'm a celebrity but when I finally saw where the gaze where from, a man came from nowhere and slipped onto the chair in front of the woman who had stared at me. But I couldn't see her anymore and I hadn't even see her for a half second. Why did she stare at me? Something about that woman...a halfsecond had been enough. She looked great! I knew I really shouldn't think about a stranger this way, but I couldn't help myself. But I also knew- that halfsecond was enough to see her expression, the lost expression who I could relate to. Something about her...

"Dude?" I asked and waited for an answer from Bob who sat in front of me. He didn't notice me though and neither did anyone else around the table. They're all in their conversations.

"Bob!" I exclaimed in a whisper. For some reason I didn't want anyone else to notice, and especially not Maya.

Bob stopped talking and was now facing me. "Yeah, what's up? You want to offer me open another boutique here? Isn't it enough with one? I mean, I want to see first how it goes before I'll sign any more contracts Zack." he said.

"No! That woman you saw earlier" I said happy to finally get it out.

"Oh, yeah… Wait! Is she here? Man if I knew that I would have dressed up better" he said and started to look at his hands and arms. After he checked himself he looked around searching for her.

"I think she's behind you. I mean, I'm not sure but she looks the way you described her! But now there's a man who's sitting in front of her and blocking the view" I said.

"Oh, well if there's a man in the picture you're obviously off the hook" he said.

"What? Bob I'm married!" Luckily our conversation wasn't noticed by anyone. At least not at our table. We had kept our conversation in a whisper-exclaim level.

"Oh, yeah right. Sorry. Old habit" he scoffed. I gave him a glare but then he just turned into a laughter and so did I.

"Ok, I have to admit - she was hot!" I whispered. Now when we're laughing we got attention from the others around the table.

"What are you two laughing about?" London's voice.

"Nothing we just saw a man fall" Bob said.

"Oh, really?" Maya said sarcastic. "Where?" I was surprised by her way to act. Since when did she became so doubtful and snotty?

"Over there in the bar" I said and pointed towards the bar. As everyone turned their faces to the bar I had my gaze at the opposite direction. I saw that she stood up and the man was still blocking my view of her. Or her view to me, what did I know? When he finally moves she's not looking my I can see her glance at me. I suppose it's one of the hundred of girls I've dated through my days. I guess my heart still want it to be Maddie. Maddie the girl I fell in love with 11 years ago. But my brain says something else. It says it's just a regular woman that saw me, or even didn't. Her gaze just got stuck on my mind. She was obviously thinking about about something else, or someone else. How ridiculous it was of me thinking it was Maddie. I'm sure she has a great family in New York. I'm sure she has a great husband and I don't know, maybe children too. Before I knew what I did I gave Maya a look.

"I have to go an errand. I'll be back soon" I didn't have time to lean down and kiss her, otherwise I would lose the woman in the red dress. Bob gave me a look that said "what-do-you-think-you're-doing", but I didn't care.
