Alex's POV

I watched as my brother Justin stepped inside of the dye-filled hot tub. I also watched his reaction as he found out that his was blue from the neck down. Even is swimsuit had turned blue. Another classic prank and I didn't even have to use magic to do it. The reaction of the girls that he was trying to impress was hilarious. I couldn't laugh out loud because I knew that would draw attention to me. But I was hysterical on the inside.

"Alex that's classic but you're not supposed to use…" My other brother Max said.

"Science?" I said interrupting him. "I learned this in class. Who knew school would ever come in handy?"

Max made a stupid comment about Justin looking like a flag. I sometimes question if he is really my brother and not some bastard son of Kelbo. I was really starting to consider that seahorse thing.

"I'm not scared of Justin." I said confidently. Why would I be? Justin may have been smart but he wasn't good at tricking people.

I then watched as the cruise director, Mr. Moseby walked over to Justin. Him I was scared of. I started to run away after he had said he would feed whoever did it to the sharks. Even though I learned in science class that there were no sharks in the area that we were in.

I began running toward the students' rooms. I was faced with a choice. I could either choose the room on the left or the room on the right. I ran into the room on the left as I didn't notice that I had dropped the bottle of dye. The room was empty so I figured that I could probably hide there until the owners came back. I heard Mr. Moseby walk into other room which turned out to be Zack's, the cute guy that worked at the juice bar. As tried to listen through the closed door, I noticed that the door was starting to open. But the room was so clean there was nothing to hide behind.

'I'm dead' I thought to myself. It was probably Mr. Moseby. I turned around looking for anything useful.

"What are you doing in my room?" The voice said. It wasn't Mr. Moseby. I turned around and saw Zack's twin brother Cody. He was in my science class.

"Umm I got lost. I'll just leave now." I said because I obviously didn't need that to get in any more trouble.

"You don't have to leave" He said as I noticed he was blushing. "Just tell me why you're here."

"Okay I played a prank on my brother and he told on me and now I need a place to hide." I said because I couldn't think of a good enough lie

"What exactly did you do?" He asked with a touch of concern in his voice.

"If I tell you will you promise not to repeat it to anyone?" I asked.

"As long as it's legal" Cody said. "If you committed a felony, I can't make any promises."

"I'm not stupid. I just put some blue dye in the hot tub before he got in." I said. "Like we learned in science class. I can't believe that I actually learned something in school."

"That actually sounds like to good prank." Cody responded. "Do you think you could help me pull a prank on my brother?"

I usually didn't like to help people because that wouldn't be a good use of my intelligence but Cody was cute and I was currently single since my relationship with Dean was going so well.

"If agree to be my alibi, I'll help you pull a prank on Zack." I said. "Where is he now?"

"Apparently Mr. Moseby found your bottle of dye in the hallway and blamed him." Cody said. "So can you help me on a scavenger hunt so I can get Hannah Montana tickets?"

"Sure why not?" I said. I could say that I was helping Cody and couldn't possibly put the dye in the hot tub. "So what's the first thing on the list?"

"A yellow barrette" He said as I took my barrette out. "Okay, now we need a flashlight. I have that and a gamma ray deflector I knew this thing would come in handy."

"So what don't you have on that list?" I asked the boy that seemed to have everything in his pockets.

"Well it says we need a live fish and a silver chalice." He said.

"Then let's go catch a fish." I said as I grabbed the fishing pole off the wall. "I don't suppose you have a lure in your pocket."

"Actually I do." He said.

"Wow you're prepared for everything." I responded.

"We have to make sure that we don't break that fishing pole. It's my roommate's." He said.

"Why don't you go out there? I'll set all of this up." I said as I tried to get him away so I could cast a spell.

"I've got it." Cody said as he attached the lure to the pole.

It looked I wasn't going to be able to cast a spell to make the fish bite so we would have to do it the old-fashioned way. That had to be my least favorite way.

"So where are we going to go fishing?" I asked the intelligent blonde.

"I was thinking we could go off the portside deck." He said.

So we went over to the portside deck and put the pole over the balcony. We both took a seat in the folding chairs.

"So why don't you tell me something about yourself?" Cody said, apparently attempting to start a conversation.

"Well I'm from New York, I have 2 brothers and I'm failing Science because I never turn in my work." I said. "Now it's your turn. Tell everything there is to know about you."

Before he could say anything, there was a pull on the fishing rod. Cody ran over to it but I could tell that he was struggling. "A little help here?" He said

I put my hands on his and began to pull. We both moved back until he fell over and a marlin was flailing around on the deck.

"That's a big fish." I said.

"Do you think it will fit in the bag?" He asked as he held the sack that contained the other items.

"Maybe we have to find a way to knock it out without killing it." I said. "We could hit it with the flashlight."

Cody proceeded to the beat the fish with the flashlight until it was unconscious.

"I was kidding" I said as I laughed as we put our catch in the sack. "But it was fun reeling that thing in. So why are you doing this scavenger hunt anyway? Are you obsessed with Hannah or something"

"It's so I can get the Hannah Montana tickets for this girl named Bailey who is." He said. "You probably don't know her."

"Yeah I know her. I saved her life when she was choking." I responded pretentiously. I don't know how I knew what that word meant but I suspected Justin must have been behind it. His intelligence must have somehow rubbed off on me.

"Damn I should have been there to do that." He said.

"So you must really like her." I said. If there was anything that I was a sucker for, it was romance.

"Yeah I have this six-month plan for getting together with her." He explained. "These tickets are supposed to be me asking her out for our first date."

"That sounds really nice but you shouldn't have to do something like that for her. I'm sure that she'll like you even if don't get her tickets to the concert. I think you're a great guy and I just met you." I told him. "You shouldn't let anyone tell you otherwise. Not even your brother. That's why I am going to help you get him back for screwing with your strange botanical shampoo."

"Well we can worry about that after we finish the scavenger hunt." He answered. "We still need to find a silver chalice."

"What is a chalice anyway?" I asked.

"It's basically a fancy word for cup." He said. "Come on."

I walked out with him to the sky deck with him as I saw London Tipton put down a silver chalice. Well that was convenient. Cody started to run toward the chalice as Zack started to run toward him and tackled. I realized I would have to get it myself.

"Gialsjay timesday" I said as time froze and hopped over to the table with the silver chalice and grabbed it before I fell on my butt and time unfroze.

"I got it." I said as Cody turned away from Zack.

"Zack we can talk about how you think that I framed you, even though I didn't later." Cody said as put the chalice in his bag. "Right now we have to take this stuff to exchange it for the Hannah Montana tickets."

So I walked over to the lobby deck where we were supposed to turn the materials in.

"It looks like you have everything." Mr. Moseby said as he reached into his pocket. "Here are your tickets."

"We did it." I said as I hugged Cody. He hugged me back in a congratulatory hug. I don't really know what happened next because suddenly we turned our heads and leaned into a kiss. Neither one of us noticed that Bailey was watching.

So you're probably wondering why I am writing this story. Well it started through a series of messages with Elianna. I suggested putting Cody and Alex together in her sequel to Just One of the Guys. A little while later she said I should write a Cody and Alex story. So this is it. Also Don't worry about Bailey. I have something planned for her too. Please review this story. It would really make my day.
