Mistaken Identity

by The Hurricane 13


The S.S. Tipton was docked in Los Angeles for the week and Connie, the ship's
Director of Fun-tertainment, was enjoying a nice walk down Hollywood
Boulevard. The wind was rustling through her hair and the streets were filled
with cars. The hustle and bustle of the big city was strangely relaxing to
Connie who had spent most of the last six months at sea. While searching for
Winnie the Pooh's star on the Walk of Fame, she was spotted by someone across
the street. The handsome young man quickly darted across traffic to speak
with her.

"Hey!" the boy said excitedly and out of breath as he reached her.

"Oh... hi!" she replied confused, but struck by the young man's good looks.

"It's been a long time!" he said.

"Excuse me?" Connie replied, now even more confused.

"You don't remember me?" the boy said.

"No, I'm sorry. I think you have me confused with someone else," Connie
replied.

"It's Trevor," the boy said, drawing a blank from Connie. "We kissed at the
museum a few years ago. You don't remember that?"

"No, I'm sorry. I think I would remember making out with someone in a
museum. Especially someone as gorgeous as you," she replied with a shy
smile.

"Maddie. That's your name right?"

"No, sorry... again. My name's Connie."

"Well... do you have a sister because you look just like someone I've met
before?"

"Nope. I'm an only child," she replied.

"Well... you're very beautiful," Trevor said.

"Oh... well thank you," Connie said, blushing.

"How would you like to have dinner with me at Cinespace? My treat." Trevor
offered.

"Oh... I'd love to," She said.

"Here's my number," He said, handing her a business card. "Call me when
you're ready to be picked up." He then leaned in and kissed her softly on the
cheek. Connie almost melted then and there on top of Billy Bob Thornton's
star.


Three Days Later...


Zack and Cody were coming down the stairs on the Sky Deck on their way to see
a screening of Avatar at Grauman's Chinese Theater when they spotted Connie
sitting with her head down at the smoothie bar. She appeared to be crying.

"Connie, are you okay?" Cody asked as the twins approached. Connie raised
her head to face the boys, revealing her running make-up.

"No," she sobbed.

"What's wrong?" the concerned twins asked in unison.

"My boyfriend, Trevor, broke up with me," she replied between sobs.

"Sorry to hear that, Connie," Zack said before grabbing his younger brother's
arm and pulling him away. "Let's get out of here!"

The End.

(Author's Note: This one-shot was originally posted as part of the "Strange Love" collection which can be found on author Wyntirsno's profile. The premise of the collection was that several different authors drew random names of characters that had appeared on the Suite Life series over the years and wrote one-shot romance stories with the random characters.)
