Chapter 1: An unexpected surprise

It was of course a new day at Seven Seas High. Zack and Cody were sitting in the patio chairs just basking in the wonderful sunlight. As Cody checked his watch he found out that it was only 9AM on a Saturday. They had the entire weekend just to do guy stuff. Bailey was off the ship visiting family, Marcus was staying at his aunts for the weekend, and Woody...well nobody ever paid attention to that kid in the first place.

"Isn't this great Cody? We haven't had this much time on our hands ever" Zack said as he eyed his brother who was skimming his textbooks. "Please don't tell me your studying.:

"Look unlike you, I'm worried for our finals in two weeks. So if you don't care then fine."

Zack just rolled his eyes at his brother. It was times like these that he often questioned why he was even related to his brother. As Cody eyed his brother through the textbook he wanted to desperately tell him the secret that London told him the other night. He just wanted to spill it right out. He could just picture his brothers reaction.

"Hey Zack what would you do if I told you that Maddie was going to be on the deck permantenlty?"

"Please say your joking" Zack quickly jumped out of his seat spilling his smoothie all over him and the patio chair he was relaxing on.

"Well if you don't believe me, then you better read this then."

Zack skimmed through the letter and was overjoyed that Maddie his "lover" was going to come back on the deck. Things could simply could not have gotten any better.

"Hey how long have you known about this little thing? It says she's coming tomorrow."

"I got the letter today dude. Relax." Cody laughed behind his shades.

"You know you could seriously be a pain in the butt sometimes."
