Now welcome aboard for
The Suite Life on Deck 2
Back On Board
Episode 1: Welcome Back On Board!
"Three months is too long!" Zack moaned as they pulled into the harbour parking lot. He had repeated the same sentence on a hourly basis, or at least it felt like it to Cody. Who once again nodded and mumbled in agreement, he had developed this habit about three days after returning home when his older brother had chastised him for not being bothered about being away from the SS Tipton.
Personally Cody felt that three months wasn't long enough. To him it had only been three months since bailey dumped him. After almost a year of "chasing" after her, and about six months actually together it had ended in tears, tantrums and a Texas chainsaw massacre! Or at least it felt like Bailey had taken one and carved up Cody's broken heart. Despite how he felt about the break up even Cody admitted it wasn't working. It was Zack in a rare moment of clarity who worked it out when he said, "You two took so long actually getting together. By the time you did finally get together, it was just wrong for such good friends to be together!" he then added "besides we both know you were never going to get the girl."
When Zack had first said it Cody was a little confused by what his brother meant. A girl like Bailey? A farm Girl? A Smart Girl? A girl in general? It was childish and crude, but he wouldn't put it past Zack to make gay jokes, especially about his baby brother.
They made their way up the gangplank into the hotel reception area. Mr Moseby waved to Carrie as she followed her sons. Moseby past off the guests he was serving to another person and made his way around the desk and over smiling. "Carrie, it's good to see you. How is the Tipton?" he started enthusiastically. The boys left their mother and the hotel manager to talk and wandered off to the sky deck.
When they got there, the first thing they noticed was the large crowd of kids their own age milling about, and the second was two tables set up in front of the hot tub, that most of the kids seemed to be queuing at. One had a sign that read "New Students" and the other "Returning Students."
Cody walked over to the table and watched as the kids signed in. He joined the shorter of the two queues, looking back over his shoulder at Zack who had been joined by their mother and Moseby who seemed to be scolding him for walking off. The younger twin turned back and eventually was standing at the front of the queue, and peered down at the young woman at the table.
"Nia! What are you doing here?" he blurted out as he finally noticed who was at the table.
The older girl smiled, "Uncle Marion had me transferred from the Boston Tipton." she said still smiling. "Apparently he heard some rumours and wanted to keep a closer eye on me!" When Cody enquired about the rumours, she merely smiled evilly and winked.
A smile warily played at the corners of Cody's mouth, and he moved away slowly. As he did so his eyes flicked over to the other table, and he saw a flash of a red t-shirt, a blink and miss it sight of skin, and a head of brown hair.
He pushed his way through the crowd apologising as he went. The blonde boy came out on the other side of the crowd but had lost sight of whoever it was. Cody scouted around but couldn't find the person in the red shirt. Disheartened he walked back to Moseby and his family.
When he arrived back at them he noticed that Woody had joined them and was chatting away to Zack. "So my mum thought that my sister would enjoy travelling the world as well." He finished to the older twin and extended a greeting to Cody
Moseby and Carrie were still involved in a deep conversation, and the three teenage boys once again slipped away. They made their way up the stairs to the balcony over looking the sky deck. Zack immediately started scouting out the new girls as they wandered about below. Woody turned to Cody and repeated the story he had told his brother about his little sister coming aboard.
Zack was so engrossed with the girls. He was pointing out the ones he liked and saying, "Imagine the stuff you could do with her!" Before pointing out the next girl and repeating the process. This went on for a while with Woody joining in and Cody mumbling and occasional, "Yeah," and "Totally." Neither noticed his disinterested.
The workers had started to hand out the cabin arrangements, when Zack once again raised his arm and pointed at a girl sitting alone at the smoothie counter. Her hair was a dirty blonde and it flowed down her back, she looked pale and was looking around nervously. She had converse chuck all-stars that were decorated with gold sequins that were reflecting the bright sun. she was also wearing three quarter length white jeans and a light coloured armless shirt.
Woody knocked Zack's hand away, "No way!" The older twin looked at his friend confused, "Your not getting to mess my sister around." Cody wasn't paying attention though, a short distance from the girl who apparently was Woody's sister was whoever it was that he had noticed before. She must have been about 15, she wore a red shirt with white writing on it, with a pair of small tennis shorts that showed off her long legs. Her hair was long and she had pulled it back into a ponytail.
Next to her stood a boy he too had brown hair and the same red t-shirt, although his hair was shorter and spiky, he was facing towards Cody and he could read the writing on it, "Kings of Queens, Soccer Team." Instead of white shorts though his legs were clad in a pair of baggy jeans and a pair wore a pair of beaten up skater shoes.
Cody leaned over the railing to get a better look, his brother and Woody were still arguing about his sister. Cody watched as the girl turned around and was stunned to see that she looked incredibly like the boy with her. "Twins." he muttered to himself excitedly as they turned to walk off, no doubt looking for their cabins. "I have to meet them!" he said talking to himself again. He left his squabbling sibling and friend and rushed down the stairs. On the way down he bumped into the wandering passengers, almost knocked over a rather gaunt looking girl with lank black hair and dressed in camouflage trousers, a dark t-shirt, and an old army shirt. He extended his hand to help her up offering apologies as he did. When he reached the bottom of the stairs he had lost sight of them but made in their general direction. He passed more student, even his mother and Moseby who were still deep in conversation.
He finally reached student cabins when a shrill voice from behind him cried "Cody!" he tuned around to see his ex girlfriend Bailey standing outside her cabin. She rushed forward and hugged him tightly around the neck. "I wasn't sure if you would be back this year." she said letting go of him, he gave a non-committal shrug as if to say neither did I.
But the time he had gotten away from Bailey he had completely lost track of the twins he was following. Once again disheartened he returned to his brother and friend, who had moved down to the smoothie bar still arguing. "Where did you go?" Zack asked as Cody took a seat next to them.
Cody ordered a drink before answering "Oh, just saying hi to some old faces." he said sadly taking a large drink from the smoothie in front of him.
Zack and Woody finished arguing and the three chatted as they watched the ship pull out of the dock into the open water. Zack mentioned the welcome aboard ball that night, and that Moseby had asked him to be DJ again. Woody then informed them that Marcus had been offered a new record deal, and that he wouldn't be returning. They all agreed that the news about Marcus sucked and decided to make their way to their cabins.
There was still students walking the corridors looking for their cabins when the boys arrived in student accommodation. The names had been added on signs on the walls beside the doors telling off the occupants. The returning students would be in the same room as the year before and so the three of them made their to their old rooms. On the way there Zack teased Cody about once again having to share a room with the stink monster that was Woody.
As they approached their cabins, they noticed their suitcases were stacked outside and that the door to Cody and Woody's room was wide open and loud rock music was blaring out. The younger twin peered around the door, inside was the boy from before. He was still wearing the red t-shirt but had changed his jeans into a pair of khaki cargo shorts that stopped just above his knee.
He must have sensed their presence because he looked up from the bottom drawer and said, "Hi, you must be Co…" he stopped for a second and stared at the blonde boy in front of him. "Cody, you must be Cody! I'm Kyle." he added cheerfully, "Sorry, you looked familiar," he lied.
"Yeah, I'm Cody." he said stepping into the room followed by the others. "This Woody and my brother Zack."
At the sight of Zack he smiled and said "Wow, your twins!"
Zack rather cruelly replied, "Wow, you must be a detective to work that one out." he finished by adding one of his signature cocky looks. Kyle looked down and mumbled
Cody seized the opportunity to change the subject asked "Sorry, but what are you doing here?"
Kyle looked confused "huh" he said "This is my cabin, it's the one on my form!" and he pulled it off the desk and handing it over to show them. The three boys read the whole form right down to the bottom where it had
For the duration of your stay you will be living in
Student accommodation
Cabin D24
Zack stepped out and checked the name plates, "It says the same outside as well." he shouted back, "Cody Martin and Kyle West!"
Woody stepped outside "But if he's in there, where am I?"
Cody looked out the door to the sign outside the opposite cabin. He smiled "With zack." he said gleefully as his brother turned around and read the sign himself.
Twenty minutes later after much grumbling from Zack, Cody pulled his own luggage into the cabin and shut the door on his brother and friend as they retreated to their own room. "Your brother doesn't like me, does he?" Kyle asked as Cody dropped his suitcase onto the bed and opened it.
"Oh don't mind him. He's just annoyed cause Wood has a serious flatulence problem!" Kyle laughed, and Cody smiled as he listened to it.
Kyle finished putting his own stuff away and started helping Cody, placing his t-shirts in the drawer while the blonde boy started on the wardrobe. "I have a twin too." Kyle started, fishing for a conversation.
"Really?" Cody replied trying to sound surprised.
"Yeah, but my twin is a girl," Kyle said as Cody turned around to look at him.
They finished packing and sat down on the bed. "So Paternal or Fraternal?" the blonde asked, Kyle looked confused. "are you identical?" he repeated in more simpler terms.
"Oh." Kyle said blushing, obviously feeling a bit foolish, "Yeah we're identical, except she has longer hair and a chest." they both laughed.
They continued to talk about their twins siblings, swapping stories about the "twin hijinxs" they had committed together.
Cody learned that Kyle was 15; his birthday was the 3rd of December; he was born and raised in Queens, New York; his parents were named Gail and Eddie and owned a small fast food franchise in new York; he played soccer and skate boarded; played drums; and shared most of these things with his sister who's name was Molly and that she was the older twin.
It was just after seven when Zack barged into the room "Hey guys, Cody do you have my CDs?" he asked before either got the chance to scold him for just barging without knocking.
"Yeah, there at the bottom of my wardrobe." the younger twin replied, pointing behind himself.
Zack opened the wardrobe door and leaned down. Cody looked back at his brother for a second before turning bay where he noticed Kyle had raised himself of his bed slightly and was staring at the older twins back.
"Are You two not getting ready?" he said as he stood up with a large stack of CD's, "The Party starts in less than an hour."
Cody looked at his watch, "Whoa, must have lost track of time. The blonde boy said as he looked up across at his cabin mate. "We should start getting ready."
Zack left the room with the stack of CDs as well as a number of Kyle's that he promised to return. Which left the two boys alone, to get ready for the party. Cody immediately dived into the wardrobe and pulled out a pair of beige trousers, and a blue shirt. He closed the door behind him and was about to enter the bathroom when Kyle asked "where are you going?
Cody turned to look at him "the bathroom." he replied questioningly, "To change!"
Kyle laughed "Oh ok."
"whets so funny?" Cody asked
"We're going to be living in the same cramped room for a year," he started "and you want to get changed in the bathroom. As if we're not bound to at some point see each other at least semi naked at some point."
Cody thought about his words for a second, "I suppose your right, Woody always insisted on one of us getting changed in the bathroom despite the fact I saw him totally naked once or twice."
They both laughed and Kyle added "Lucky you!"
Cody pulled a face and pretended to swallow his own vomit "Not really"
"Lets just both get dressed out here, its not as if your naked under there." Kyle said as he pulled his own trousers from the wardrobe and looked at Cody who smirked and raised one eye brow.
Kyle looked worried as Cody reached for his belt buckle. Fortunately he could see the top of a pair of green boxers, "I know you were joking!" They both laughed again
Kyle and Cody walked into the ballroom. The Blonde was dressed in the same beige trousers he had picked out but had swapped the shirt for a pale yellow one and a similarly pale jacket. The shorter brown haired boy though was a contrast to his friend, while his friend had picked bright colours he had chosen a pair of black jeans that were just a size too small, a black waist coat, a black pencil tie, black and white converse hi tops. In fact the only thing not black was the white shirt he had worn.
As they made their way across the floor many of the girls gave them approving stares, Kyle followed in Cody's wake. The blonde had saw a few of his friend and was going over to say hi, and was happy to have his room mate follow him until he got to know a few people himself.
There was so many new students though that Cody had trouble finding ones he recognised and was happy that Kyle was following because it meant that at least he(Cody) knew someone.
It was long after midnight when the party had died down and many student had gone to bed. Cody, Kyle, Zack, Bailey, London and Woody were all sitting at a table close to DJ table so the older twin could keep an eye on the music, when they were joined by Molly, Kyle's sister.
"Wow you have a twin too!" Bailey said to Kyle as Molly approached the table. He nodded as he stood up to let his sister have his seat.
He grabbed a seat from the table behind them and sat back down "Ok everybody this is my twin sister Molly, Molly this is everyone!" they proceeded to tell her their own names except Zack who tried to lay a line on her instead.
She shot a excellent one liner back at him, that caused everybody at the table to applaud her, as ack left grumbling to tend to the music. "So I guess me and K aren't the only clones on board then?" she said jokingly, half asking, half stating. As she looked from Cody to Zack.
"We were worried that we would be the novelty again," Kyle started. "It's easier if people are use to twins." they all agreed.
London and woody left not long after that. Zack offered to escort Bailey back to her room which left Kyle, Molly and Cody who decided to take a stroll on deck before returning to their cabins.
As they stepped out onto the deck they felt the cold sea air wash over them. Molly was only wearing a thin dress that didn't cover her shoulders and shivered. Cody slipped his jacket off and placed it on her shoulders. "Thanks." she said softly and ran her fingers over the back of his hand that was still on her shoulder adjusting the jacket. Kyle sped up a bit and the two teenagers had to jog to catch up.
"So. We may be a bit ahead of you guys in school." Cody started "If you want, I could help you catch up?"
Kyle immediately replied "Yeah sure, that would be great." Molly looked at her brother curiously
"Yeah I suppose that could help, but we were quite ahead at our own school, so we shouldn't be playing too much catch up!" she said to Cody but gave a look to her brother which said that it was directed at him as well.
They reached Molly's cabin first, Kyle hugged his sister, and Cody gave her a kiss on the cheek before being handed back his jacket. "So bedtime?" Kyle laughed as she closed the door and they made their down the corridor.
Cody nodded, but stopped as he past a vent grill. He bent down and looked through the metal, all he could see was black and stood back up. "I though I saw something, must have been a shadow or something!" they both gave one last look at the grill and then moved on.
Neither noticed the face that appeared at the grill just after they left, and neither heard the sad voice coming from it saying "yeah, or something?"
Well that's the first episode(yes, I'm being pretentious). Hope you all enjoyed it and come back for the rest of the story. I will be introducing more a few more new characters, aswell as some older ones from the original shows so look out.
Ok, so I wrote the end of my last story and said I'd get this one started asap. Well I tried, I did. But well as a few of you probably know I ended up very ill which had caused delays on that one to. On top of that two very good friends of mines died just a month or so apart. I wasn't able to go to either's funeral and get proper closure. Add to that the bitch from hell that is a manager at my work totally stressing me out well, let just say it's taken me this long to get over it all and finally sit down and get some writing done, and I feel a lot better now.
I've set myself a deadline for the next chapter and the next few after that so hopefully this wont be delayed.
Okay everyone in the words of a cartoon character I can't remember the name of
"Later Days"
