The "Odd Couples" episode of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody left you hanging with a TO BE CONTINUED… and this is what may have happened after it all! …

"I hate you!"

"I hate you more!"

Maddie and Trevor confess their "hatred" as they share a Soap Opera smooch. London, still standing as a witness in this whole shabang, leans over with a face of wonderment and watches the make out session.

"Whoa, talk about a lip-lock." she said

After a few moments of dazing off, London decided to try and steal her man back. She wasn't quite sure though, if she still had a chance. So she tried..

"Trevor! Oh Mr. MER-IT SCHOL-AR!" she said, trying to sound as "smarticle" as she could.

However, there was no reply from "Mr. Merit Scholar", also known to Maddie as "Mr. hot lips"! London stomped her little feet and pouted her lip as she stormed away with her purse over her shoulder. The two finally backed away and looked at each other for a moment. Maddie was too overwhelmed with excitement, so she pretended to cough to the side as she smiled and squealed at the same time. She bit her lip and turned to look back at him. He was smiling slightly.

"Uhm… well uh…" he struggled to start a sentence.

Maddie decided to speak the first word for him;

"Well for somebody who's supposed to be so smart, he had to ask if I wanted to kiss him, and didn't know how to talk afterwards."

She smiled and they shared a laugh. But as they were about to get into conversation again, Trevor's group of scholars came along and dragged him off. "The professor wants us all to meet right now." One of the little nerdy ones said to him, followed by a snort.

"Uh, I'll… I'll catch you later Maddie." Trevor said while being pulled away.

"Okay… bye." Maddie just barely let this slip out of her mouth. She was still so in awe and shaken up from this AMAZING thing that just happened to her. She smiled again, and couldn't seem to keep her mouth straight.

"Oh, he's so CUTE! … and dreamy too. I can't believe this! But.. when is he coming back? We barely had a goodbye. Just a: 'Catch you later Maddie' Wow…"

She kept replaying those words of his over and over again in her head. The kiss was incredible, but his last words were all she could think about.

SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE TIPTON…

London was walking quickly around the hotel, with no specific destination quietly talking to herself... or, thinking out loud.

"I can't believe this… a really cute guy chose Maddie over me! I thought it was all going well. Why couldn't he accept me for myself? Just because I'm not all … all… SMARTICLE—"

She was suddenly interrupted when she almost clashed into Cody in the hallway.

"Whoa! London! Try looking ahead of you when you're walking next time. Is there something wrong? You were… talking to yourself."

"Oh, don't be silly. Of course I wasn't talking to myself, I was just… you know, thinking out loud!"

She started to keep walking with an attitude when Cody walked in front of her again.

"Weren't you just over there?" London said, frustrated and confused. She turned and looked to where they were hassling a minute ago.

"London, there has to be something wrong. What are you so bothered by?"

"Ugh.. well, I went on a date with this really cute guy right? Okay but the problem was that he was really smart too."

London paused for a moment to take a breath and Cody was just looking at her. Then he said,

"…I can see why that would be a problem for you."

"Yeah, so the whole date, I had this little tiny computer chocolate chip in my ear and Maddie was telling me what to say and then at the end he found out it wasn't really me talking and they started arguing as soon as they saw eachother and…"

London was talking really fast and she barely took another second to breathe before she started using her hands for a puppet show-like demonstration.

London immitating:

'You hug trees!'

'You pollute water!'

'Nah Nah Nah!'

'Nah Nah Nah Nah!'

'I hate you!'

'I hate you more!'

'Kiss me you fool!'

mmmwwwaaah!

London finally finished and started breathing again. Cody took a minute to take in everything he had just heard. Then he took a deep breath, opened his mouth, and

London interrupted, "You know it was really scary I tell you. They kept saying they hate each other but not once did they use violence! I just don't get it! I always get the guys! This date was going so well and Maddie had to ruin it!"

Then she stormed away into her apartment and slammed the door. Cody was still standing there baffled in the middle of the hallway. He heard everything, hadnt said a word, but knew exactly what was going on and who to talk to.

AT THE CANDY COUNTER IN THE HOTEL LOBBY…

Maddie was so overwhelmed by this whole thing with Trevor. But then her mind started to race. All she could think about was Trevor, and why he left so fast. If he was coming back or not, if he really liked her, and what his plans were for making the next move! She just couldn't settle. She was working at the candy counter in her uniform but was caught in a daze.. until she heard a familiar voice.

"Hey, Maddie! Long time, dude!"

"Could it possibly be..?"

She lifted up her head and almost couldn't believe that her eyes were feasting on Lance, the surfer cutie who used to work at the hotel along side her. She had the most major crush on him, and at one time, people thought they were getting engaged! That was all a rumor, but after a while she realized what an idiot he was. What could he be doing back here?

"Lance!" she shrieked, both startled, confused, and excited at the same time.

"What are you doing back at the Tipton?"

"Oh well my family like, moved after I stopped working here, and—"

"Oh, where did you move to?" Maddie asked.

"We moved to uh.. uh.. oh no i forgot the name.

You know uh, where Disney World is! F… F.. "

"…Florida?" Maddie could not believe that she had ever had interest in London's type as she stood here trying to speak with him.

"Yeah, Florida. That's the one." Lance said, nodding his head uncontrollably.

"That's nice. It must be great there."

"Yeah dude, you should see the water there man, they have the best water."

Again, some flashbacks came to Maddie about how obsessive Lance was about water, and it was only beginning to scare her right about now.

"Can I get you anything?" she asked, trying to end the conversation before it got any more interesting.

"Uh, yeah actually I wanted to see if you guys still had my favorite little 3Musketeer bars. They're chocolatey yet so light.. you know like water." He said, kind of looking into space, imagining it.

Maddie looked up at where he was looking, trying to once attempt to understand, but she just shook her head and went back to the counter. Then suddenly she saw somebody out the front windows. It was Trevor and his group of scholars! She was scared he would see her, so she quickly dove underneath the counter with a thump.

"Are you ok Maddie?"

"Yeah I'm fine.. Lance." Maddie tried to say in a whisper. "I'm just looking for your chocolate bar."

Once she was hiding underneath the bar, she began to think about Trevor once again. Would he come back looking for her? Was he even interested? Does he know that she works at a stinkin' candy counter?

"Uh, Maddie, you've been under there for a long time." Lance said, peeking over the counter. "Are you sure you're ok?"

"Oh! There it is!" She pointed at a random spot behind her where she had supposedly just spotted his candy bar. She went to jump up, startled, and slipped! She fell right back down on her butt with another thump.

"Gosh Maddie.." Lance laughed. "Do you need help?"

"No, I'm fine, really." She said as she stumbled to her feet. She stood straight, de-frizzed her hair, and flattened her skirt.

"Here's your candy bar!" She tried to seem cheery.

…And right as she developed that smile on her face, you-know-who walked by the window again. This time though, she didn't see Trevor. He was standing in a doorway, looking in on her. He just stood there watching as Maddie and Lance laughed as they chatted. Suddenly he was a little upset. A frown grew on his face, and he turned to walk away. It seemed that Trevor and Lance walked away at the same time, and Maddie caught him leaving. He looked bothered.

"Trevor!" She yelled out, but mostly to herself.

"Come.. back." She was then a little sad too.
