A/N: Here is a short little story! This is about Cody getting on Jeopardy! I assure you Woody, Marcus and London will make an appearance along with Maddie. Like it or not, please read and review!
(Cody's POV)
I was shocked. I had finally done it. I got the call and I am going to be on "America's #1 game show!"
I first auditioned for Jeopardy when I was younger, for the kids' version. I thought I did really well, but apparently I wasn't good enough to get on the show.
Then, 7 months ago, I got an alert that the teen test would be given. Since I wasn't going to turn 18 until March 2011, I was eligible. Furthermore, I need something to get my mind of my break up. I took the test, and was sure I got all of the questions right. I waited for a while, and the day after my junior year at Seven Seas High ended, I was invited to a Jeopardy audition. I went there ready to own and I did. I was too quick with the buzzer, and I knew everything. I couldn't be stopped by anyone. Furthermore, I totally rocked the interview. The producers thought my situation and that I attended Seven Seas High was very interesting. It was hard to omit Bailey, as she was and still may be the reason for my existence, but I managed to do that.
Then just 5 minutes ago. I got a phone call. I was going to appear on Jeopardy! This marathon will happen on September 3rd, two days before Seven Seas High started. I can't wait to go and appear on television, and hopefully meet some new friends.
(Third person POV August, 2010)
Cody walked over to get his luggage. With him were Zack and Carey, who were going to see him hopefully rock the show. He wondered who the other contestants were, and was so distracted that he missed someone right behind him.
"Maddie!" Zack yelled hugging his longtime friend/crush. Maddie then turned and hugged Cody, and finally her old part time employer, Carey.
"So Maddie, why are you here all the way out in Los Angeles? Aren't you a student at Princeton?" Carey asked, smiling at her younger friend.
"Well, I could ask the same of you three. Luckily, I know why you're here."
Cody frowned. "What do you mean, Maddie?"
Maddie replied, "Cody, I landed an internship with Jeopardy! I work here as a question writing assistant. I asked to come here because I wanted to see my two favorite little twins."
Zack laughed and said in a deep voice. "Little? You're the one up to my shoulder this time around. "
Maddie laughed right back with him. "I know! Zack, you're about 5'9 and Cody's an inch and a half taller than you."
"Well, enough chitchat. Time to go to the LA Tipton, where all the producers will be for the preliminary meeting for the contestants and parents," Maddie said, leading her old friends into the car she was driving.
Carey and Maddie got into the front seats, and the boys got right into the back of the convertible.
Zack screamed, "This is awesome!"
The car took off.
(20 Minutes Later in the car)
Zack and Cody were having a blast in L.A. It was so much better than the last time, mainly because now they knew Cody was going to appear on national television. Plus, there was a lot of money involved. 75,00 dollars for the winner! Zack really wanted his brother to win and for benevolent reasons this time. If his brother won, he could go to any college in the world he wanted to! He hoped his brother won and got money that he well deserved.
Maddie asked Cody, "So how are things with Bailey, Cody? Your relationship smooth and steady?"
As soon as she asked this, she knew she shouldn't have. Cody was so upset and down. She had never seen him like this before.
"Actually Maddie, we broke up back in March. It was messy, but we are still friends now," Cody said, gloomily gazing to his left.
Maddie felt really bad now. She didn't mean to put Cody in a spot like that. She muttered to herself, "No wonder she ran away crying when I mentioned Cody to her this morning."
The rest of the ride was filled with chatter about Cody's experience to get to this point and how he was going to prepare for the show.
(At the hotel)
Maddie pulled up at a spot in front of the hotel. She whistled twice and a bellhop came to take the car and park it.
"Well guys, we are here. The L.A. Tipton."
Zack and Cody looked around. This place was awesome. They rushed into the hotel, and grabbed a luggage cart and started riding in it. Just like old times.
"What is going on in my hotel?" screamed a man coming down from the lobby. He was very similar in looks to the man the twins had traumatized since 2005, but he was definitely younger and had a head full of hair.
"Hey, you look just like Mr. Moseby! Are you related to him?" Zack asked, a grin on his face.
The hotel manager grimaced. "Yes, I'm Moriah Moseby, Marion's younger cousin. I suppose you two are the twin terrors he mentioned. That must be Carey, your mother, who I hear is a wonderful singer. There you are Madeline! I thought you were bringing the contestants for Boston for the Jeopardy taping. Where are they?"
Maddie replied, "Mr. Moseby, these are the contestants. Have Maggie or Robert contacted you, telling you where I should place the boys?"
Younger Mr. Moseby nodded. "They gave Cody a suite, and Zack and Mrs. Martin each have their own bedrooms with televisions. Zack is welcome to stay in Cody's room though. Here are your room keys. Cody is on the top floor, Zack and Mrs. Martin have rooms in the 5th floor. Enjoy, and remember that we are the only 5 star hotels that share a free continental breakfast. Come down any time. I will get a bellhop to assist you, and I don't doubt you need it."
Younger Moseby summoned a bellhop, and the bellhop took their entire luggage in a cart. Zack and Cody grabbed their own luggage cart and made a bee line for the elevator. They pressed the button for the fifth floor, so Zack could get off.
The two jumped off their luggage carts and ran straight into the room. Suprisingly, Carey and Maddie were already there.
Maddie just laughed at her twins. They were the kid brothers she always wanted, and no matter how big they grew, they were always Zack and Cody, the little masters of mayhem.
Maddie checked her watch. "Sorry guys, I have to go. I'll see you later, but I have work right now. Don't start a plan to torture the entire Moseby family, okay? Bye guys."
Maddie give the twins and Carey a hug, and she left the room.
Zack looked around the room. "If this regular room is a suite, Cody, your room must be awesome!"
Cody smiled. "Well, there is only one way to find out. Come on, let's go!" The twins left the room, excited to see Cody's suite.
(On the top floor)
As soon as they got out of the elevator, the twins' jaws dropped. This place was fantastic! Long hallways, a dining room, a buffet, a game room, a terrific room, and a gym for basketball.
"Wow," Zack said amazed. Him and Cody ran straight into Cody's room.
Inside, the room was covered with Jeopardy wallpaper. There was a kitchen, a packed refrigerator, a home theater system packed with video games, awesome furniture, and this was just the outside room. There was also a makeshift bed on the couch.
Zack and Cody looked around, and found a hot chocolate dispenser, an ice cream dispenser, and a hotline for room service. All of this was free, as Jeopardy was picking up the tab! The two grabbed a quick soda from the giant fridge, and checked out Cody's room.
Cody had basically the same things, excluding the kitchen and the fridge was a mini fridge. A plasma TV that was 61 inches, 19 shorter than the one in the other room was also there. The bed was huge and comfy. Zack just shook his head. "Man, you got one hell of a room. Look, I'm really tired, so I'm going to go sleep in my room. We'll check out L. A. later."
Zack left, and while Cody would miss his brother, he would get to find out about the other contestants and size them up. Well, and make friends with them.
Cody flopped down on his bed and set his soda down. He rolled over and found he was on a piece of paper. He took out the note, and he read: Mr. Cody Martin, this is from the Jeopardy crew. We would like to welcome you here and hope that you have a good time. However, there are some details that are different from usual about the Teen Tournament. Please come up to the conference room at 5 o'clock and bring a notebook, pencil, and the Massachusetts shirt we sent you. We look forward to meeting you again!
Cody looked at the clock beside him. "Oh man, its 4:58, and I have no idea where I have to go," he muttered racing to get his stuff, which had been delivered to his room already. Suddenly, he got a phone call.
"Hello?"
"Hello Cody, this is Maggie from Jeopardy. I just wanted to check on you and make sure you were coming to the meeting."
"Don't worry, I'll be there. I just want to know where it is. I see a lot of stuff on this floor but no conference room."
"The conference room is on the roof, take the stairs to get there. Remember your stuff. The meeting will take 20-50 minutes. Okay?"
"Thanks, I will be there in a minute."
"No problem Cody."
Cody hung up and left the room with his stuff. On his way there, he saw a girl drop all of her stuff on the stairs. With his Red Sox hat on, he went to help that girl.
Cody picked up her notebook and pencil and handed it to her. When he got up, he saw her face, a face he wanted to see for of all of eternity.
"Bailey?"
"Cody?"
A/N: And that's the first chapter. This isn't all of my work, but Lady Emily's as well. I will work on my other projects, but the Suite Life on the SS Tipton is going to become "complete" and I will add to Every Time We Touch. Please read and review, It makes my life so much better. Thank you and goodbye.
