MidnightStriker's Words: Hey everybody! This is my first "Suite Life" fanfiction, starring London Tipton and Maddie Fitzpatrick. Who doesn't love 'em together? If anyone finds this offensive, I suggest you leave now. I do not really appreciate flamers.
Level 1: Enter the VR
Maddie Fitzpatrick glanced up as someone approached the candy counter. She was hoping it was a customer, but that hope was dashed when she saw pink. It was London Tipton, the heiress of the hotel she was working in. "Hey there, London," she said warily, mentally preparing herself for another round of badgering. "Hey Maddie! Why the long face? You should really be happy I'm here!" she said perkily. Maddie rolled her eyes, that was easy for someone with a really high self-esteem to say.
"Listen, I'm gonna ask Mr. Moseby to let you off your shift today 'cause I've got something really fun to show you!" London said, grabbing Maddie's wrist and jerking her away from the counter. "Uh, London, didn't it ever occur to you that my arm is attached to my body which is being blocked by this candy counter?" Maddie said.
"Oh, right! Haha!" London said sheepishly, waiting for Maddie to go around the counter. "Come on! I can't wait to show you what I've got! I've wanted it for ages!" "That's hard to believe," Maddie mumbled under her breath as London led her to Mr. Moseby.
"Mr. Moseby, can Nia take over Maddie's shift? I want to show her something up in my suite." London said. "How long does she plan to be up there in your suite?" Mr. Moseby asked warily, remembering the time Nia almost spilled the jellybeans and gumballs in Maddie's absence. "Considering what I'm going to show her, maybe a minute or B?" London said. Both Maddie and Mr. Moseby sighed, London was still as dimwitted as ever. "Don't you mean a 'minute or two', London?" Maddie offered.
"Stay out of this, Maddie! Or I won't show you what I've got." London pouted. "OK, Sorry!" Maddie said, putting her hand up in defeat. "So can we go now Mr. Moseby?" London begged. "Alright, fine." Mr. Moseby sighed. London "eeped" in delight and quickly dragged Maddie to the elevator.
London opened the door to her suite and Maddie gasped. "Did this get bigger since I last saw it?" she exclaimed. "Well, kinda. I had Arwin make me a game room!" London said. "A game room? I didn't know you were into games." Maddie said. "Lately, yeah, I was. Kinda." London shrugged. "Hey, are we going to stand here all day? What I want to show you is in the game room!"
Maddie followed her perky friend to the game room and almost fainted with what she saw. It was a Virtual Reality system! "Cool!" Maddie exclaimed. "We're going to play against each other in VR? What game is this?!" "We're not fighting, 'k? It's more of a co-op mode. Less talking, more trying!" London said. Maddie nodded and they eagerly slipped on the helmets.
In a flash, they were both situated on a grassy green plain. London glanced at her dress, and realized that she was holding a rapier and a circle of gold was around her head. "Yay me!" she clapped. "I'm a Lord Class! How about you, Maddie? What you become?" London began searching for her friend. "Over here, London!" Maddie called, trotting over on a horse. She was dressed in light turquoise riding armor, and she was holding a lance. At her horse's side was a sword.
"Hey, how come you get a horse?" London pouted. "And that is the blandest of attires I've ever seen!" she said, noting the lack of robes Maddie procured. "What class is that?" "I think it's what they call 'Cavalier'." Maddie said. "Cave—what? Like the thing I like to eat? Caviar?" London pondered. Maddie sighed again. "Anyway, let's get going, shall we?"
"OK! Oh well, even if I didn't get a horsie, at least my sword looks pointier than yours! And look at the handle, it's gold! Not like your rusty stick." London said with distaste. "It's not a stick, it's a LANCE." Maddie emphasized. "Whatever. Big words make my head hurt." London replied. "Oh look! There's a castle!"
Maddie followed London's finger and sure enough, a castle loomed in front of them. "Wow," she breathed. "Let's see what's in it!!" London said excitedly, running full speed ahead. "London! Wait for me!" Maddie said, urging her horse to a trot.
As they approached the moat, they realized disappointedly that there was no drawbridge. "Hey! Is anyone up there?!" London yelled. "Who goes there?!" a guard called as he peered over the wall. "It's me! London!" London replied. "Shush, London! What if this is an enemy castle?" Maddie hissed. Before London could reply, another guard looked over the wall and said to his companion, "You idiot! That's Lady London and her cavalier Madeline! Lower the drawbridge!"
"Yay me! Even in the VR I'm richer than you, Maddie!" London said as she gaily traipsed down the drawbridge. Maddie followed London with a heavy heart. "Hey guardie, tell me again, what castle is this?" London said, asking the guard nearest to her. "This is the Tipton Castle, my lady. And the Queen Mother wants to see you. She has grave news."
London and Maddie glanced at each other and Maddie whispered, "What's your mother doing here? She's not playing the VR with us, right?" "Yeah," London affirmed. "I locked my suite door." "Oh well, let's just go see what she has to say." Maddie replied. "Shush, Maddie! This is MY castle, you are MY vassal, and you'll listen to ME." London said. "Whatever." Maddie sighed.
End notes: Tipton Castle? Even unto the VR the Tipton name follows London. Boy Arwin sure is good at making VR's. And what happened to our favorite twins? Anyway, stay tuned until the next chapter! Reviews and readers are much appreciated!
