When there's only one other person in the elevator, tap them
on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn't you.
"You are so brilliant, Zack! Where did you find this?" Cody shrieked as he examined the white sheet of paper in front of him.
Zack Martin smiled broadly, "You dare question where I found these?? Dude, I made them up!!"
Cody, as doubtful as ever, glared at his replica in a way that suggested to own up.
With a sigh, Zack rolled his eyes, "Okay, okay…maybe I discovered them on the Internet…but hey! I still found them! And we can still use them!"
He snatched the typed paper from Cody and laughed, "I say let's go take a trip in the elevator!"
"Yeah!" exclaimed Cody.
The two boys practically raced to the hotel elevator, hoping that only one other person would get on.
"I'll do the tapping, you just keep your face straight," Zack instructed. Cody, used to his older brother's demands, nodded.
Three floors down, a blonde woman with heavy mascara stepped inside. She was alone—perfect! Zack scooted closer to the woman's side while Cody bit his lip to keep from laughing.
Quickly, Zack reached out as the woman pressed her floor number, tapped her lightly on the shoulder, and slyly returned to his original spot.
"Oh, that's right, Cody, Mom said to make sure we are back tonight for dinner," He kept his voice low and directed to Cody.
The woman furrowed her eyebrows, "Excuse me, sir." She snapped, "What do you want?"
Innocently, Zack turned to the woman, "What do you mean, ma'am? What are you talking about?"
"You know what I am talking about, very well in fact. You tapped me on the shoulder, and unless it was a practical joke, which it probably was, then you wanted something."
"I didn't tap you on the shoulder!" Zack chuckled, "My brother and I have been discussing our Mom's rules of going out of the room on our own, weren't we, Codester?"
"Sure were!" Cody's voice was high, almost a dead giveaway of Zack's action.
"Whatever! Keep your hands to yourself!" she sneered.
"Um…of course, ma'am."
The woman shook her head and crossed her arms, turning her gaze to the wall, as if she didn't even want to look at them. Zack smirked, tapping her shoulder again.
"STOP!" She fumed.
"Stop what, ma'am?" Zack asked angrily.
"You know, this is why I hate kids! So immature!" The woman suddenly pressed a button for the next floor, and as the doors opened, she nearly jumped out.
"I do hope I never see either of you brats again!" she cried.
"Good to know, ma'am!" Zack called after her.
Zack and Cody glanced at each other and burst out laughing in unison.
"Oh, Zack…this living in a hotel thing just became a whole lot more fun!!"
A/N: I've been wanting to do this idea for a while now, for just something to read that is funny. It will get better than this, I promise!
