Disclaimer: I don't own The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.
A/N Songfic to Wonderful by Everclear.
This is my first Suite Life story
What's the best cure for writer's block! Duh. Another story! I'm writing four stories and I'm stuck
so I'm writing this instead. I'm sure my readers for my other stories are so happy about that.
Not. Sorry about that guys. Anyways hope everyone likes this!
Zack's POV
Hey, ain't life wonderful? Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful... Isn't it wonderful now
Life sucks! I hate this family. Well it finally happened my parents are getting a divorce. They say they still love us
and it's not our fault. Right. Well then please explain that to my little brother who won't leave his room and just sits there
staring at pictures of us when we were happy. Oh yeah life is real wonderful!
I close my eyes
when I get too sad
I think thoughts that I know are bad
Close
my eyes and I count to ten
Hope it's over when I open them
Cody's POV
Huh. Funny how pictures freeze moments that depict happiness to the naive viewer. But the next second its all arguments and fighting. God, I can't help blaming myself, maybe if I hadn't been born they could've stayed together, but with having to pay for us, and work they just can't stop fighting. I know I shouldn't think it's my fault, but it is. I tried to pinch myself, I tried counting to ten, but no matter what I try when I open my eyes this nightmare won't go away. It's real.
I want the
things that I had before
Like a Star Wars poster on my bedroom
door
I wish I could count to ten
Make everything be wonderful
again
Zack's POV
I'm sick of this. I just want to be in my own room at my old house. I want to open my eyes in the morning to
Cody's neatly made bed, and planetary posters, and then roll back over and see my wrestling posters.
I just want to wake up every morning in my old house with my parents not in this hotel my Mom has dragged us off too.
I wish I could wake up and everything would be perfect again.
Hope my mom and I
hope my dad
Will figure out why they get so mad
Hear them
scream, I hear them fight
They say bad words that make me wanna
cry
Cody's POV
I sit here staring at pictures of happier times and I can't help wishing that my parent's
could figure out why they can't get along anymore. They scream at each other. Dad swears at Mom and
she cries. I can here her crying but she doesn't know it. They make me want to cry.
I wish everything could be wonderful again.
Close my eyes
when I go to bed
And I dream of angels who make me smile
I
feel better when I hear them say
Everything will be wonderful
someday
Zack's POV
When I go to sleep, I try to dream of happy things. I think about the prank I'm going to pull on our evil English teacher,
Miss Binder. I imagine shooting the last second shot to win the basketball championship.
I dream my parents are there cheering me on together. Defending me to the principle together.
Then I wake up and suddenly I'm back in my nightmare.
Promises mean
everything when you're little
And the world's so big
I just
don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your
eyes
Tell me everything is wonderful now
Cody's
POV
They promised! They promised me, they would be together forever. I remember walking into the kitchen when
I was just six they had been fighting again and I asked are you going to get a divorce?
I had stumbled on the new word, but I managed to make them understand what I said.
They had assured me they weren't. Mom said "We'll be together always." Dad had added "Forever and Ever."
They lied! They keep saying everything will be fine. Mom eyes tear filled tells me that everything will be fine.
I don't know how she can smile at me like that when inside we're all dying.
I go to school
and I run and play
I tell the kids that it's all okay
I laugh
aloud so my friends won't know
When the bell rings I just don't
wanna go home
Zack's POV
I pull pranks and I laugh and joke. I run through the lobby of our new "home" If you can call it that.
I tell my friends that we're okay that it's fine. But inside I'm miserable. I pretend it's all okay. But it's not It's just not.
Go to my room and
I close my eyes
I make believe that I have a new life
I don't
believe you when you say
Everything will be wonderful someday
Cody's POV
I lay on my bed and close my eyes. In my imagination I can pretend that I have a new life. One filled with love.
My parents are together and more in love then ever before. Then I open my eyes and realize everything's not okay.
I've stopped believing my parents when the say that everything will be okay.
No
No, I
don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
No
No,
I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
Zack's
POV
"Shut up!" I had screamed at them. Mom had looked so upset. Dad had looked angry. I was sick of them though.
Sick of their lies. They were trying to tell me everything was going to be okay. I don't want to here that pack of lies.
They can shove thsoe false promises. I don't want em.
I don't wanna
hear you say
That I will understand someday
No, no, no, no
I
don't wanna hear you say
You both have grown in a different way
No, no, no, no
I don't wanna meet your friends
And I
don't wanna start over again
I just want my life to be the same
Just like it used to be
Some days I hate everything
I
hate everything
Everyone and everything
Please don't tell me
everything is wonderful now...
(This is now dialogue told from neither POV.)
"I DON'T WANT TO MEET YOUR DUMB BOYFRIEND!" Zack screamed at his mother.
"Zackary Martin!"
"No, Mom, he's right!" Cody informed his mother.
"Boy's your Father and I..."
"NO! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT CRAP, DON'T TELL ME YOU GREW APART!" Zack yelled.
"This is a fresh start for us boys try to accept it."
"I don't want a
fresh start, I liked are old life just fine." Cody said
stubbornly.
"Everything will be wonderful, you'll see."
"I DON'T CARE! IT WON'T BE! I HATE IT HERE! I HATE YOU! I HATE DAD!" Zack shouted.
"Zack.." Carrie started.
"NO MOM, HE'S RIGHT I HATE YOU GUYS. YOU COULDN'T MAKE IT WORK AND YOUR LEAVING
US TO DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES! WE HAD TO LEAVE OUR SCHOOL OUR FRIENDS,
WE LOST OUR FAMILY. MAYBE THAT DOESN'T MATTER TO YOU BUT IT MATTERS TO US!"
"Cody..."
"NO! I'M SICK OF THIS!" He turned and ran out of the suite. Zack paused to give his mother a glare and one last thought.
I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
"Oh yeah, everything is just wonderful." Then he turned and followed his twin out of the suite, out of the lobby,
out of the hotel.
