Okay, so all the good Zailey stories aren't being updated so I am fighting back by creating this. I hope you like it. REVIEWS!

Zack stepped out with Cody and Woody. His ghost buster suit on him and his weapon ready, he was ready for anything. He gazes across the deck for anything suspicious. His breath hitches as he sees her. She is wearing a white dress with classic red outlines. Her face looks gorgeous in the light that he sees her in. Zack feels his heart race and he can't tear his eyes away. His attention is brought back by Woody who snaps in front of his face.

"Hello? Zack." Woody waves his hand.

"Sorry Woody, what did you say?" Zack takes his eyes off her to look at his friend. Woody shrugs it off and continues.

"Cody and I are going to check the lower deck. Can you cover this part?"

"Yes!" Zack says too eagerly. Woody just looks suspiciously at him then leaves with Cody. Zack hopes that Woody didn't think that he was up to something. But then again, Woody never thinks. He maneuvers himself through the crowd to get to her. When he gets nearer, Zack takes a deep breath and approaches her.

"Hey Pickett." He calls her by her last name to act casual, which is hard since it feels like its 100 degrees outside.

Bailey swerves around and smiles. She looks down at his costume and laughs but tries to suppress it. "What are you wearing Zack?"

"I'll explain it later. So what is this shindig that you have here?" He talks funny just to hear her laugh again. He smiles when he hears it again. But this time it was her giggle.

"It's all a ploy to get Mr. Mosby to play the piano in public. It was my idea but London insisted that I wear this dress to get in the mood." Bailey wiggles around in her dress. Don't get her wrong, she loves dressing up like the next girl but she feels so weird wearing a cage or whatever she is wearing.

"Well you look nice." Zack compliments her. He awkwardly rubs the back of his head as he says that. He immediately regrets saying that because lets face it; Bailey is off limits for two obvious reasons. The first reason is that he is dating Maya and the second is that Bailey is Cody's ex and he still has some feelings for her.

Bailey looks startled at Zack. She never thought that Zack would be capable of saying a nice thing. She blushes and looks at her feet. When she looks back up, Zack is smiling at her in a way that makes her stomach flip. She swallows the butterflies that threaten to overrun her.

"That's very sweet Zack." Bailey thinks about kissing him on the cheek but then remembers Maya. "So where is Maya?" She asks curiously. A hint of jealousy knags her chest.

Zack's eyes widen. Maya. "Uhh… I think she's around here somewhere. I thought she was going shopping." Things grow silent and awkward. Both of them try to speak at the same time. They chuckle uncomfortably.

"Well… I need to go." Zack starts to walk away. He hits his forehead as he walks.

"Zack." Bailey yells out in desperation. He turns around enthusiastically. "Are you going to come back and listen to Mr. Moseby play?"

"Yeah. And I will dress normally." He looks down at his costume. Bailey smiles at his answer. He gives her a smile back as he leaves.

1 hour later…

Zack had researched the compass and found the answer he was looking for. He had also found the magnet thingy that Cody says causes the compass to malfunction. He was thinking of busting the party that was out on the deck but he decided to go out and party a little before. He might as well enjoy it right?

Zack smiles at his reflection, proud of his looks. Since joining the water polo team on the ship, he has gotten slimmer and more muscle. Maya has even complimented him about his abs that is taking form. He decides to wear an old timey grey tux that really brings out his blue eyes. Sighing, he leaves his room. When he closes his door, he accidently runs into Maya. They collide clumsily. When she looks at him, she does a double take.

"Whoa Zack. Why are you looking so handsome?"

"Don't I always look handsome?" He says smugly. She laughs. "I have decided to go to the piano concert thingy on the sky deck."

"I didn't know you liked piano concerts. They are beautiful, aren't they?" She reminisces.

"Yeah, beautiful." Zack says except he isn't talking about the concert. A shot of guilt hits him. He is with his wonderful girlfriend and yet he is thinking about Bailey. She's off limits Zack. Besides, she is smarter, prettier and waayyy out of your league man.

"Hey, maybe I should go with you."

"No!" Zack yells. "Uhh… I mean… don't you have that thing that you have?" He begins to walk with her towards the opposite direction of the deck. He doesn't want to hurt Maya by kind of flirting with Bailey. Bailey is just so pretty that he can't help it.

Maya resists him and gets out of his grip. "Why not?" She demands of him. Zack purses his lips in frustration. Does he lie not to hurt her or tell her the truth and hurt her?

"I…Uhh…I don't know." He lies. Maya looks hurt. Crap.

"Well gee thanks for being specific there Zack. What's wrong with you?" She angrily insists.

"Ummm… nothing. I just didn't think you would be interested in it. That's all." He tries to explain.

"Didn't you know that I play piano? The only reason I wasn't going was because I thought you weren't interested. What else do you not know about me?" Maya is upset and glaring at him. Zack realizes that they are in a full fledge fight.

"I know you look pretty tonight." He tries to butter her up. She is unfazed. "What's your birthday again?" He says jokingly.

"I am done Zack." Maya storms off.

"Wait. It was just a joke!" He chases after her. This is getting really serious. "Common, I know your birthday." He pulls her lightly so that she is facing him. She looks at him expectantly. "It's June 26th." Zack hits his head against the wall as soon as he says this. Stupid, stupid, stupid! He just told Maya, Bailey's birthday.

"We are over Zack. Done. Kaput. Finished!" She yells at him. Zack looks pathetically at her.

"Please Maya. I don't want this" He points back and forth between them. "-you and me, to be done with." He pleads with her. Maya just looks coldly at him and shakes off his hand resting on her arm.

"No. Zack, we were never going to work out. You are just going to be a player who can't commit. I should have known. Goodbye." Maya walks away, trying not to show the tears in her eyes to him. Zack just stands there stunned. He walked out of his room, on the way to a party then his first real relationship ended. Zack runs his hand through his hand and collapses onto the ground.

REVIEWS are appreciated! I will try to update soon but no promises.
