Hey guys! This is my first fanfic so pleeze be lenient with your reviews. I take constructive critism though:) Since "wish gone amiss" weekend is coming up I was thinking about things that might happen and came up with this. Hope you like it! Oh, almost forgot to say! I don't own any of the characters in this story and one of the lines is straight from the show. I only own the story:)
Chapter One: A little jealous
"Maddie!" London squealed as she ran through the lobby and up to the candy counter. "Guess where moi is going!" She beamed.
"To French class to learn a word other than moi?!" Maddie said mock-excitedly, putting down the magazine she was reading.
"No! Daddy's letting me go to Rome for three weeks! Look," She said pulling out a small book from her purse. "He even bought me a book to help me learn Rome speech! After all, when in Rome do as the romaners do."
"I feel so sorry for them." Maddie said, shaking her head.
London put on her best 'insulted rich girl' look and put her hand to her chest.
Maddie sighed. "I was supposed to go to Rome this summer, but my stupid brother needs braces again. The closest I'm ever goanna get to Rome is the Italian restaurant down the street, and I can't even afford that!" She said, walking out from behind the counter.
"It's ok, Maddie. I'm sure spending time with your family will be much better than anything in Rome." London said comfortingly.
"You really think so?" Maddie smiled.
"No." London smiled, shaking her head, and then walked off.
Maddie sighed and went back to the counter. She couldn't help but be at least a little jealous of London. She had to work two jobs, both paying minimum wage, just to get by, and London had everything handed to her on a sliver platter. She doesn't deserve that trip! Maddie thought, starting to flip through her magazine again. Over the past few months, London had gotten two new yachts, a private jet, and had a cruise ship named after her. To face facts, London's dog had a richer life than Maddie. She was so tired of being 'the poor girl' in London's eyes. For once, even if it was only for a moment, she just wanted to live London's life; to get fame and fortune and get anything she wanted the moment she wanted it. Yeah, that would be so wonderful... She thought dreamily, but suddenly her daydream was interrupted by a familiar voice.
"Hey, sweet thang." Zack said, raising his eyebrows flirtatiously. "What's going on?"
"Oh, nothing. I was just thinking about how wonderful it would be to live like London." She sighed sadly.
"Are you sure you weren't thinking about how wonderful it would be to live with me?" He said, winking at her.
"Please, Zack. I'm not in the mood for your pathetic flirt attempts." Maddie replied.
"Harsh." Zack said, recoiling.
"I'm sorry. It's just; London always makes me feel like some kind of peasant that can't afford anything good." Maddie whined, walking out into the lobby to get a closer look at London.
She watched her feeding Evana gourmet dog treats and folded her arms.
"If you're what peasants look like I can't wait to see the nobles." Zack laughed.
Maddie shot him a look and his smile dropped. "Sorry." He said quietly.
"I would give anything to be rich, Zack...but it'll never happen. I'll always be poor girl Maddie." Maddie frowned and walked back to the counter after seeing Mr. Moseby coming.
"Zack! What trouble are you causing now?" He shouted.
"I haven't done anything." Zack said defensively.
"You haven't done anything yet, you mean. What are you doing to poor Madeline?"
"See! Poor Maddie!!" Maddie yelled, throwing her arms up.
"Come on, Maddie. It's not that bad. You've got me, don't you?" Zack said.
"I wish that were enough." Maddie said. Zack's smile fell and he looked down at the floor to hide how much her words hurt.
"What's all this about, Maddie?" Mr. Moseby asked, finally realizing how upset she was.
"It's nothing. I think I'll close up the candy stand now, Mr. Moseby." She said, hanging her head, and with that Mr. Moseby and Zack left her alone.
