My Summer Tipton Style!, a suite life series fanfic

"SUMMER VACA. AT THE TIPTON?!?! Are you serious?! I mean, if you're gonna stay at the Tipton, you've gotta get a suite and I certainly don't have that kind of money!"

"Don't worry, Manda, I gotcha covered. It's just gonna be me and you. We're gonna have a suite, I heard it's kinda close to the owners daughter or something like that, I wonder what she's like…. Oh and there's going to be a cook-off as well as a talent show, both for kids our age!" I say to calm my best friend, Amanda, down. Unfortunately, all it did was make her more excited, if that's even possible. The last thing I heard from her side of the phone was a loud, happy scream. I decided to hang up, since I knew she'd scream like that for a couple of weeks if she really wanted to. I swear I could still hear her scream after I hung up the phone and she lives like 3 blocks behind me.

..::1 week later, the day when me(Alexandrea) and Manda go to the Tipton::..

I hear the door slam open and my bestest friend, ever, shout "HONEY, I'M HOME!!"

"Oh, how was your day, sweetheart?" I say playing along while coming down the stairs.

"Oh, it was great, except, I kinda despise my boss and today's not payday! GGRRRR!!!!!!!"

"Oh, I'm sorry about that, dear." With that we look at each other and burst out laughing.

"So, Manda, you ready?" I say finally regaining control over my laughter.

"We're leaving in five minutes and I'm over here but no, I'm not ready." Manda says sarcastically and gives me a "duh" look. "Of course I'm ready, you dult!" she says and then helps me with some of my suitcases. I have about ten or so. And no, I'm not kidding.

"Where are your bags?" I ask just now realizing Manda didn't have any bags when she walked in.

"They're in the car." Manda said as it were the most obvious thing in the world, while grabbing two of my bags. "My goodness!! Why do you have to pack soo much?!?!"

"We're going to be gone for two and a half MONTHS!" I said, panting slightly. I was also bringing a couple of my suitcases downstairs.

"I know how long we're going to be, but all I brought were my guitar and case, laptop and case, skateboard, inline skates and 3 duffel bags."

"That's because you'll be stealing my clothes! Besides, we'll be a couple hours away from home, so I don't want to forget anything! Oh, want some music?" I ask, passing our stereo system.

"Yeah!" She said before heading outside to put the suitcases in the back of the car. I turn on the stereo and turn to 106.7, the local station playing all the hits. I usually just listen for the Kelly Clarkson and Simple Plan songs. Right now they were on a commercial, so I took my suitcases and put them in the back with the others. Manda and I repeated this process a few times with my dad joining us after our second trip. Right as we were about to get in the car and head to the Tipton, Kelly Clarkson's song "Walk Away" came on and Amanda and I snapped our heads towards the stereo and started singing and dancing to it, only after turning it up, of course.

"You've got your mother and your brother
Every other undercover
Tellin' you what to say (say)
You think I'm stupid
But the truth is
That it's cupid, baby
Lovin' you has made me this way (way)
So before you point your finger
Get your hands off of my trigger
Oh yeah
You need to know this situation's getting old
And now the more you talk
The less I can take, oh

I'm looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go?
Well, if you don't have the answer
Why you still standin' here?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away
Just walk away
Just walk away

I waited here for you
Like a kid waiting after school
So tell me how come you never showed (showed)?
I gave you everything
And never asked for anything
And look at me
I'm all alone (alone)
So, before you start defendin'
Baby, stop all your pretendin'
I know you know I know
So what's the point in being slow
Let's get the show on the road today
Hey

I'm looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go?
Well, if you don't have the answer
Why are you still standin' here?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away
Just walk away
Just walk away

I want a love
I want a fire
To feel the burn
My desires
I want a man by my side
Not a boy who runs and hides
Are you gonna fight for me?
Die for me?
Live and breathe for me?
Do you care for me?
'Cause if you don't then just leave

I'm looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go?
Well, if you don't have the answer
Why you still standin' here?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away

If you don't have the answer
Walk away
Just walk (walk) away
(Just walk away)
Then just leave
Yeah yeah
Walk away
Walk away…
Walk away"

Unfortunately we were being taped and at the end of the song my mom said "Smile, you're on candid camera!"

"Mom! You taped us?!" I say not believing what my mom had done. Even though it was funny, just don't let her know that.

"Of course I did, I've gotta have something to embarrass you with when you get your first boyfriend! And this'll be perfect!!"

"But did I really need to be part of her embarrassment?!" Manda says joining the conversation.

"Of course! I'm going to give your mother a copy."

"You're kidding, right?!" Manda says completely shocked and appalled.

"Nope!" My mom says with a smile and checks her watch, "Oh, gosh, we need to start moving or we're not going to make it by your check-in time! Hurry up and use the restroom girls! Quickly!!" she says rushing us to two different bathrooms. We used the restrooms, did a super quick double check making sure we didn't forget anything and left. For the first hour or so Manda and I just talked about how AWESOME staying at the Tipton's going to be and what we're going to do and who's going to have the most fun and just random stuff. Then we started singing "99 bottle of pop on the wall." Which only lasted thirty-five minutes total, so Manda and I continued the song by singing "No more bottle of pop on the wall, no more bottles of pop. Take one down, pass it around, no more bottles of pop on the wall." After the eleventh or twelfth time my mom put in my Kelly Clarkson CD "Breakaway."

"5 please!" My mom skipped ahead to track 5, also known as "Gone"

"What you see's not what you get
With you there's just no measurement
No way to tell what's real from what isn't there
Your eyes they sparkle
That's all changed into lies that drop like acid rain
You washed away the best of me
You don't care

You know you did it
I'm gone
To find someone to live for
In this world
There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You were wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I've finally moved on
I'm already gone

Sometimes shattered

Never open
Nothing matters
When you're broken
That was me whenever I was with you
Always ending
Always over

Back and forth, up and down like a rollercoaster
I am breaking
That habit
Today

There is nothing you can say
Sorry doesn't cut it, babe
Take the hit and walk away
'Cause I'm gone
Doesn't matter what you do
It's what you did that's hurting you
All I needed was the truth
Now I'm gone

What you see's not what you get
What you see's not what you get

Manda and I were singing our hearts out and I think we broke my parents ear drums.

"11!" Manda requested her fav. song.

My dad skipped ahead to track 11 and not but a few seconds later the words to "Hear Me" were being blast from the speakers and Manda and I were, once again, singing our hearts out.

"Hear me
Hear me

You gotta be out there
You gotta be somewhere
Wherever you are

I'm waiting
'Cause there are these nights when
I sing myself to sleep
And I'm hopin' my dreams
Bring you close to me
Are you listening?

Hear me
I'm cryin' out
I'm ready now
Turn my world upside down
Find me
I'm lost inside the crowd
It's getting loud
I need you to see
I'm screaming for you to please
Hear me
Hear me

Hear me
Can you hear me?
Hear me

I used to be scared of
Letting someone in
But it gets so lonely
Being on my own
No one to talk to
And no one to hold me
I'm not always strong
Oh, I need you here
Are you listening?

Hear me
I'm cryin' out
I'm ready now
Turn my world upside down
Find me

I'm lost inside the crowd
It's getting loud
I need you to see
I'm screaming for you to please
Hear me

I'm restless and wild
I fall, but I try
I need someone to understand
Can you hear me?
I'm lost in my thoughts
And baby I've fought
For all that I've got
Can you hear me?

Hear me
I'm cryin' out
I'm ready now
Turn my world upside down
Find me
I'm lost inside the crowd
It's getting loud
I need you to see
I'm screaming for you to please
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me
Can you hear me?
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me
Can you hear me?
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me"

After we finished listening to "Hear Me" we went back to the beginning of the CD and got all the way to Track number 10, "I Hate Myself for Losing You," before we pulled into the Tipton's parking lot.

"We're here! We're here! We're here!" I yell, while jumping up and down in my seat. I continue yelling it until I get out of the car. I yell "I gotta pee!!" instead and run into the hotel to find the bathroom. In my rush to the restroom, I accidentally run into somebody. "I'm sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going." I say getting up and offering a hand to the guy I knocked down. He had medium-long blonde hair and blue eyes, he looked to be about my age. Before he could respond Manda came bursting in and yelled "Rea!! Did you find the bathroom yet?!?! 'Cause I gotta go!!"

"Uh….Maybe!!" I yell back at her. "Where's the restrooms?" I ask the guy I knocked down in a fast whisper.

"I'll only tell you if you talk that sweet thang over there to go out with me." He said while pointing to Manda.

"Did you just call my friend 'Sweet Thang'?! Ew…. Anyways, I'll try my hardest. Now, where are the restrooms?!?"

"Down that hall and it's the second door on the right." He said pointing down a hall.

"Ok, thanks!" I say before turning around and shouting "Found them!" to Manda. "this-a-way!" I shouted once again pointing and running down the hall that guy had told me. I turn into the room he told me to and even though it was a bathroom, it wasn't a girl's bathroom!!
