A/N: Another short story. I've been doing a lot of oneshots lately, but I've enjoyed them.
Kinley and Bentley are Cody and Bailey's kids from my other stories, so if you haven't read those, then I advise you do before reading this one.. It might help explain, but yet again, you might be fine just reading this one by itself:)
The twins are in the 17 age area. So... they're teens... Fun, fun, fun;)
Disclaimer: I don't own Cody or Bailey because Disney does.

"Kinley, can you help me with my homework?" Bentley Martin asked, walking into his twin sister's room. "What are you doing?"
"What does it look like I'm doing?" Kinley asked, looking at her older brother by two minutes through the mirror. "I'm getting ready for Savannah's party tonight."
Bentley scoffed. "Oh, please! You really think Dad is going to let you go to that party? Last time you went to a party, you got arrested!"
"So did you!" Kinley shot back.
Bentley rolled his eyes. "That wasn't my fault.."
"It was your friend brought the drugs!" Kinley yelled.
"It was your stupid-ass friend that called the cops!" Bentley yelled in return.
The twins locked eyes for a few seconds. Kinley broke away and looked back into the mirror, continuing to put on mascara.
Bentley crossed his arms. "I bet you 100 dollars that Dad says you can't go to that party."
Kinley stopped again. She turned around quickly and let out a harsh laugh. "You seriously want to bet 100 dollars?! You don't even have 100 dollars!"
"I'll get it from Brady."
"Brady? What makes you think that our little brother has 100 dollars either?!"
"I know for a fact that he does."
Kinley raised an eyebrow. "How?"
Bentley picked up a picture from the nightstand, then set it down again. "I've borrowed some before."
Kinley's jaw dropped. "Don't you mean stole?"
Bentley put his hand over his heart dramatically. "Now, now dear sister... What makes you believe that I would stoop so low as to steal from our naive, little brother?"
"Hmm.. Let's see.. You've stolen from Dad, Mom, Aunt Maddie, Travis, and me!" Kinley exclaimed.
"You know that I stole from you?"
"HA!" Kinley yelled, causing Bentley to jump a little.
"What?!"
"I didn't know, but now I do!" Kinley gave a sly smile. "So, what did you take?"
Bentley avoided Kinley's eyes. "You're perfume," he said quietly.
Kinley stifled a laugh. "Perfume, really?"
"It was for a girl! I swear!" Bentley defended, then stopped suddenly. "So, do we have a deal or what?"
Kinley smiled deviously. "You're on," she challenged, gripping her brother's hand tightly.
~*~*~*~
"You see, you just add 'x' to both sides.." Bailey explained. "And that's your answer. You get it?"
Brady Martin rested his chin on his hands. He glanced at Bailey with wide eyes. "No."
Bailey sighed. "Okay, we'll try again later. Go wash up for dinner." She kissed the top of her youngest child's head as he gathered his books and left the room.
Cody walked into the kitchen. "Hey, how's he doing?" he asked, referring to Brady.
Bailey huffed. "Not good. I think he gets it, but he just doesn't want to try."
"I'll try talking to him later."
Bailey nodded then yelled, "Kids! Time for dinner!"
One by one, Bentley, Kinley, and Brady filed into the kitchen. They grabbed their plates and sat down at the table.
Bentley leaned over to Kinley and whispered, "When are you going to talk to Dad?"
"After dinner," she answered.
"What time is the party?"
"At eleven tonight."
"Kids, stop whispering and eat," Bailey instructed, handing the mashed potatoes to Cody.
Kinley and Bentley did as they were told, and hardly said a word after then.
~*~*~*~
Cody sat in his home office, sending an email. The sound of his door opening was so soft that he didn't even hear it.
"Daddy?" Kinley asked in a sweet tone.
Cody turned around and took off his glasses. "Oh, hey sweetie. Do you need something?"
"Well, yes actually. I was wondering, maybe, if I could.. Uh, go to this, uh, party tonight... At Savannah's house.." Kinley asked, trying her best to sound confident.
Cody pursed his lips and looked back at his computer for a split second. He turned back to his daughter. "No."
"Daddy! That's not fair!" Kinley protested.
"Don't raise your voice young lady. I gave you my answer."
"You didn't even think about it!"
"I don't have to! I am your father, and what I say, goes."
Kinley crossed her arms. "Are you trying to ruin my life?!"
Cody closed his eyes and sighed. "No, Kinley. I am trying to save your life. Going to those parties could kill you."
Kinley scoffed. "Like you would know. Uncle Zack says that you always stayed in on the weekends and studied like a good, little nerd!"
"Yes, I was a good, little nerd. And you want to know something, Kinley Rose? Because I stayed in and didn't go to those parties with Zack, I have a successful job and I give you everything you want."
"No you don't," she muttered.
Cody rubbed his eyes. "Sometimes I can't give you everything you want because it's not good for you."
Kinley bit her lip. "Daddy, can we compromise?"
Cody looked to his daughter. "I'm listening."
"I will be back by 1:30 and I won't do any drugs or drink. And if I-"
"So, there is going to alcohol and drugs?"
"No doubt," she firmly stated.
Cody sighed. "Continue."
"Anyways, and if I do - which I'm not - I will openly accept any punishment that you or Mom grant me."
Cody nodded slowly. "Alright, I agree. You better follow your own rules, though."
Kinley squealed and began jumping up and down. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She ran over to Cody and hugged him. "I love you, Daddy!"
Cody returned his daughter's hug and kissed her head. "Have fun and be safe!"
"I will!" Kinley called, leaving his office.
She ran up stairs to her room, grabbing her car keys and a coat. When going back into the hall, Bentley asked, "Where are you going?"
"A party," she answered, brushing shoulders with her brother. She turned around and added, "Oh, by the way... I expect my 100 dollars by Monday."
Bentley narrowed his eyes. "You truly are 'Daddy's Little Princess', aren't you?"
Kinley smiled, gave a quick wink, and headed for the front door.
