Suite Life on Deck: What If?
Hey guys, NotSoEpicSteve here, or as some may know me, thedarknessgrowswith. So I was watching Suite Life on Deck: Breakup in Paris and I decided to go in a different direction than where Season 3 is going. And while I am working on the main story, I will upload 5 chapters based on Cody and Bailey and their relationship. These stories are what if versions, like in "Marriage 101", what if Zack's career had been a CEO of a company instead of a garbage man. But in these stories, the changes will mainly affect Cody and Bailey's relationship. Note: These stories are independent of each other. The show is still cannon and I can't repeat enough, these are What If stories.
Wow. Long intro much? Oh well, shall we begin? Oh and in this I will skip most of Cody's repeats of that day. So it will be just the first time, part of the second, and the end of the last one. Enjoy
Note: I do not own the characters.
What If?: International Dateline
What if Cody saved the day AND got the girl in the end?
"London, can you tell me what this is?" Emma Tutweiller asked, pointing just south of Pakistan.
"A bad manicure!" responded the ditzy heiress to the Tipton Hotel franchise.
"No." scoffed the teacher. Turning back to the map, Miss Tutweiller looked at her hand before quickly placing it behind her back, muttering an audible "Eww!" Turning back to the class, Miss Tutweiller continued with the lesson. "Has anyone heard of the International Date Line?"
"What you say to a French babe so she'll go out with you." Woody Fink offered up hopefully from the back of the classroom.
"No," spoke Bailey Pickett, an intelligent girl from a place called Kettlecorn, Kansas. "It's an imaginary line, created in 1884. To the east of which, it is a day earlier than it is to the west."
"So." continued Cody Martin, "When you cross the date line, you have to turn your clocks back twenty-four hours, a full day."
"Correct! Yay!" Miss Tutweiller clapped her hands at her two most intelligent students. "Which, is what we are going to do. Tonight."
_TIME SHIFT_
Hours later it was time for the International Date Line Dance. Bailey Pickett and a few other girls were standing in a corner when London Tipton spotted them and started to walk over to the group.
"What are you doing?" London bewilderedly asked her roommate.
"Dancing." Bailey responded.
"It looks like you're milking a cow." London spoke in a confused tone.
"That' the name of the dance!" Bailey happily exclaimed.
"Oh well do you know the name of this one?" the Tipton heiress asked, moving her arms back and forth in card swiping motion.
"Oh yeah, the sheep shear." Bailey spoke, starting to imitate her roommate.
"No silly, the credit card swipe!" London explained then continued the dance move with a dumb smile plastered on her face, with Bailey following London's lead.
Meanwhile, Cody Martin entered the room and started to walk toward Bailey when Woody walked up to the young blonde and started to talk about how girls supposedly would like him if he had a sense of humor. Cody, wanting to dance with Bailey, quickly responded by saying that only comedy writers say that to make themselves feel better. Cody started to leave but Woody quickly grabbed the blonde's shirt and started to say a lame joke and ended up messing up the ending.
"Mmh. Shrimp." Cody quickly turned around and saw Bailey standing by the buffet table eating what is scientifically called Grangon vugaris. Clutching the cd he had brought, Cody makes his way over to where his brother is standing.
"Zack, I need you to play this song so I can dance with Bailey." Cody stated, hand his brother the cd.
"Word up Code Red. I will add your request to the que." Zackary Martin agreed. Going to his computer, Zack pulled of the list of request at the dance. "You are, number twenty-seven."
"Can't you bump me up, I'm your brother." Cody spoke.
"Yeah of course. For five bucks." Zack said, watching his brother sigh and hand him the five dollar bill. "Would you look at that? Your song is next."
Walking away from his brother, Cody saw Bailey standing alone and quickly walked over to the farm girl. But it seemed luck wasn't with Cody tonight. Before he could even talk to Bailey, the blonde boy was stopped by an old lady who wanted to learn karate and by London, who wanted Cody to sew up her dress. Suddenly the song Cody had requested started to play. After failing to get away from London, Cody turned around and saw another guy asking Bailey to dance.
"Attention everyone." Miss Tutweiller spoke into the microphone. "We will be crossing the International Date Line in three, two, one."

"London, can you tell me what this is?" Emma Tutweiller asked, pointing just south of Pakistan.
"A bad manicure!" responded the ditzy heiress to the Tipton Hotel franchise.
"No." scoffed the teacher. Turning back to the map, Miss Tutweiller looked at her hand before quickly placing it behind her back, muttering an audible "Eww!" Turning back to the class, Miss Tutweiller continued with the lesson. "Has anyone heard of the International Date Line?"
"Wait a second. "Cody stammered. "What going on here? We already learned about the International Date Line."
"I'm sorry if you read ahead Cody, but I have to teach to the lowest common denominator." Miss Tutweiller spoke, pointing at Zack.
"Whoa, whoa. We're doing Math now? I thought this was Geography." Zack spoke.
"No, I mean, what happened to the dance?" Cody asked, completely confused with the current situation.
"You mean the one we're having tonight?" asked Bailey who was wondering why Cody was acting weird.
"Whoa. I'm having the strangest sense of déjà vu." Cody sighed, covering his aching head.
"Déjà who?" asked London.
"Déjà vu. It's French for 'I've seen this all before'." Cody stated.
"Wait!" exclaimed Zack, "We're doing French? I thought this was Math!"

Warning: now here comes the alternate ending to this episode

"Zack. I need you to play this song for me and Bailey." Cody spoke quickly, handing his brother a five dollar bill.
"Word up Code Red. Your song's up next." Zack grinned, slyly putting the money into his shirt pocket.
"No!" Cody exclaimed, causing Zack to stare at him in confusion. "Not next. Make my song third in line."
"Dude, why?"
"Just trust me. I have an idea." Cody said. He then proceeded to turn around walk toward the exit. Seeing an old lady, Cody grinned. "Mrs. Pepperman! Over here."
"Do I know you? Are you one of my grandkids?" The old woman asked.
"Nope. I'm your sensei. Welcome Honorable Pupil." Cody replied. The two bowed in respect. Before Mrs. Pepperman could even stand up and deliver a punch, Cody pulled out a blue karate belt from behind his back. "Congratulations Mrs. Pepperman! You have earned your blue belt!"
"Yes!" the senior citizen rejoiced. "I got to go show my mom."
Suddenly London Tipton ran up behind our blonde hero and quickly gasped. "Cody! Thank goodness I found you. I-"
"Your dress is ripped." Cody interjected. "Don't worry." Cody snapped his fingers and a middle-aged woman walked up. "Expert seamstress at your service."
"Wow! You're telepathetic!" exclaimed London, causing Cody to give her a questioning glance. "And I thought you just walk around with stupid stuff like bear repellant."
"Oh it's not stupid." Cody argued. "You never know when you have to repel something unsavory." As if planned, Cody sprayed the bear repellant into the face of some guy passing by. "Now if you will excuse me, I have somewhere to be." Turning around, hopefully for the final time, our young blonde hero dashed out of the room.
Soon Cody returned, just before his song started to play. He glanced around the room and noticed Bailey standing by where the shrimp would have been. Seeing his chance, Cody quickly walked up to the young farm girl of his dreams. As if by fate, the song Cody had chosen started to play."
"Oh, I love this song." Bailey sighed.
"I picked it just for you." Cody said, walking up to the Kansas girl. "Care to dance?" Before Bailey could protest, Cody grabbed her hand and led her to the dance floor. "Well I know it's pretty slow, but it's better for talking."
"Okay? So did you finish the proof on that Geometry problem?" Bailey asked innocently.
"Yeah, but tonight I thought we could about other things. Besides Math." Straightening his dance partner's arm, Cody led the two of them into a soft dance.
"Oh, I get it. You want to talk about the science project." Bailey spoke.
"Not exactly." Cody responded and before Bailey could make a coherent sentence, our young blonde hero graciously twirled his dream girl in time with the music.
"Ooh. That was fun." Bailey giggled.
"You were saying?" Cody asked.
"I, uh, forgot." answered the slightly confused Bailey. Cody grinned and again twirled his dance partner outward and then back in. But this time, instead of stopping Bailey, Cody bent down, dipping Bailey low to the ground.
"Wow Cody." Bailey spoke in awe.
"Don't talk. Tonight, we speak the language of dance." Cody stated, getting an encouraging nod from Bailey. The two continued to dance slowly for a while, and then suddenly, the two dancers leaned in closer, their lips inches apart.
"I really like you Bailey." Cody whispered, causing the Kansas girl to shiver with excitement.
"I like you too Cody. We've become great friends." Bailey whispered back.
"Yeah, but I kinda want us to be more than just friends." Cody said, inching in ever so slightly.
"Oh!" Bailey responded, her mind finally understanding what Cody was implying. Then something clicked inside Bailey's cranium. She thought back to how Cody had always seem to be nice to her, take her side in an argument, and even comfort her when she was sad. "You know what Cody. I would like us to be more than friends too." Smiling slightly, Bailey closed the remaining inches separating her and Cody's mouth. For the two students, time seemed to have stopped. For both of them, the kiss was nothing short of magical.
"Attention everyone." Miss Tutweiller spoke into the microphone, causing Cody and Bailey to stop their kiss and look at their teacher. "We will be crossing the International Date Line in three, two, one." Everyone was silent and waited for something special to happen. "Well that's it. Not much to it really. Well, carry on."
Turning back to Bailey, Cody grinned. "Now, where were we?"
"Right about... Here." Bailey responded by kissing Cody again.
Near the back of the room, Zack grinned. "I can't believe it."
"I know! They ran out of shrimp." Woody pouted, getting a weird glare from Zack.
"You know what, never mind. Just go back to sitting with Addison." Zack replied to Woody, who gleefully obeyed.
