Cody looked down into the dark and musty hole lying before him,tears threatening to leak out of his eyes any moment.He looked up into the gray and cloudy sky,hoping that the tears would somehow flow back into his eyes.But instead,they all started to run down his face.He gave up on trying to stop the unstoppable tears and looked back into his mother's grave,while Zack stand just 5 feet behind him,leaning against an old white tree.

'I can't cry.' Zack urged himself,looking over to see Cody fall to his knees,stifling his sobs by burying his face in his hands. 'For Cody's sake.I have to be strong...for Cody.'

He shut his eyes tight,trying to block out the sound of Cody's uncontrollable sobs.Sure,the boys were now 15,and if they were in any other situation than this,then Zack would have probably rolled his eyes and tell Cody to stop acting like such a baby.But who wouldn't make an exception at their mother's funeral? Not him.This time...he didn't tell Cody to toughen up.And this time,Cody couldn't run to their mother whining about how mean Zack was being to him.In fact,the worst part about all of this,is that Cody would never be able to do that again.

'Why am I thinking these things?!' Zack screamed to himself. 'If I keep thinking about mom...it'll only make me cry.And I already said that I can't!'

Zack spun around and slammed his fist against the hard bark of the tree,his teeth clenched.He bit his tongue as hard as he could,trying to do anything to will himself not to cry.Metallic blood filled his mouth as he unclenched his teeth,opening his eyes and reluctantly letting the tears flow.

"We're only 15." Zack whispered,soflty pounding his fist against the cold wood. "We still need you.Me and Cody...we need you..."

He blindly walked over to the edge of the hole and fell to his knees,and this time he was the one stifling his uncontrollable sobs in his hands.

"Damn you!" Zack screamed down into the deep hole,making Cody gasp and look over at his brother kneeling beside him. "Why?! How could you just leave us?! Don't you know how much we need you?!"

Cody crawled over to his twin and wrapped his arms around him,resting his chin on Zack's head and letting his tears fall into his brother's thick blonde hair.

"We fought alot,mom." Zack whispered into Cody's shoulder. "And countless times I said that I hated you...but I didn't mean it.Please give me a sign that you know that...give me a sign that you know that I love you."

Zack and Cody gasped as a slight opening erupted in the dark gray clouds,a small ray of sunshine beaming down from the sky.

"I love you,mom." Zack whispered,feeling his heart lift just the slightest bit.But he felt his heart sank as her heard someone speaking to them.'

'Can't they just leave us alone?! We're at out mother's funeral,for God's sake!' Zack thought angrily.

"Zack? Cody?" a voice spoke from behind them,a thick British accent filling the air.

The two brothers swiveled around and saw a large old woman standing behind them.

'Who's this old geyser?' Zack thought to himself.Ok,so Zack was a little mean.But who wouldn't be a little grumpy if there mother had just died?

"Um..." Cody replied,wiping his tear-stricken face with the back of his hand. "Yes?"

"Oh..." the old woman sobbed,running over to the boys and pulling them off of the ground into a tight embrace.

Now here's a funny sight.Imagine a large old woman holding two teenage boys in a tight hug,the boys' behinds sticking out and swaying as the woman rocks from side to side.Now here's something even funnier:imagine how the boys must be feeling...

"Can't...breath..." Cody whispered to Zack,feeling his face turn red.

The woman finally let go of the boys,taking a tissue out of her purse and dabbing her eyes.

Zack put his hands on his knees,bending over,and gave a sharp exhale,feeling the pain in his neck slowly subside.God,that woman had quite a grip.

Cody leaned against the old tree,trying to steady himself after taking several large gulps of the crisp air.

"Who...who are you?" Cody struggled to say,still speachless,rubbing his hip.The impact of Cody's hip against Zack's had been quite painful.

"Why,I'm your grandmother,darling!" the woman responded,pure shock written across her face.Carrie hadn't told them about her at all? "I've come to take you to my house,now that your mother has sadly...passed."

Zack looked over to Cody,and Cody looked over to Zack.Pure uncomprehension filling their minds.Who was this woman? Should they trust her...let alone let her take them to her house?! They had never heard of her...in fact,they had never even asked about Carrie's mother.Why,they didn't know.They just never got around to it.

"They're not going anywhere with you!" a gruff voice yelled as a tall man walked up to the family trio.

"Dad?!" Zack and Cody whispered in unison.They hadn't seen him in 10 years...why show up now?

'What is he doing here?!' Zack thought angrily,clenching his teethe once more. 'He leaves us,and then all of a sudden shows up at Mom's funeral?! Well,if he thinks we're going to go live with him...then he's sadly mistaken!'
