Thank you guys for reviewing, I know some of you kinda already predicted for what'll happen in later chapters, but no you guys are far off, way far off. Anywho enough of my rambling, here's chapter 2.

Disclaimer: I don't own The Suite Life or its characters.

Chapter 2: The Forgotten Son.

"Cody! Can you hurry it up?" Carey yelled at the bathroom door, "I don't want to be late for the funeral." Cody stood in front of the mirror looking at himself with watery eyes. The boy he saw in the mirror was Cody Martin: Straight A student, trustworthy, well-mannered, a role model. But that Cody Martin boarded the S.S. Tipton and never came back. Cody longed for the boy he saw in the mirror, to be who he used to be and not this other person he's become. He felt disgusted to know that this other person is masquerading himself as Cody Martin.

"Cody! Let's go!" the mother yells again while pounding on the door. "I'm coming" Cody softly responded while he grabbed a bit of toilet paper to wipe off his tears.

The well dressed Martin family entered the ballroom, which was filled with folding chairs and many people sitting in them. Carey noticed that London was sitting way in the back, she was wearing a black dress with a matching hat with a veil to somewhat cover her weeping face "Hi London." The twin's mother said while approaching London, "How are you holding up?"

"I'm not holding anything up." London responded. "No I mean how are you dealing with your father's death?" Carey asked, it took the Tipton heiress a while but eventually answered, "I'm going to miss him Carey, now more than ever," she grabbed a tissue to blow her nose, "But at least he left me enough money to help me deal with it."

"Of course, what better way to deal with death than by inheriting billions of dollars? " The mother said sarcastically, knowing London wouldn't catch it. "All I got at my mother-in-law's funeral was the boot." The comment made Zack's eyebrows rise, "You got kicked out of the funeral?" He asked. "No I mean I literally got an old boot, she didn't even leave the other one."

The Martins took their seats close to London, they were barely able to see the front where the podium stood. "Hi London." Maddie Fitzpatrick, one of London's closest friends, sat next to her and gave her a hug, "I'm sorry about your dad." Maddie said trying to comfort her friend.

Mr. Moseby entered the ballroom while carrying a folder and walked directly to the podium. "Ok let's begin." He said into the microphone. For the next hour, Mr. Moseby talked about his relationship with Mr. Tipton and how he always admired his passion for the hotel business. Some of his ex wives got up to the podium and talked about how their lives were when they were with Mr. Tipton.

As to everyone's surprise, London never got up to speak about her father. "Ok I'll now be reading from Mr. Tipton's will," Mr. Moseby said as he opened the folder and began to read, "'I, Wilfred Tipton, have decided to leave my entire fortune of 38 billion dollars to my daughter, London Tipton.'" Everyone in the ballroom was shocked and looked back to London who was also surprised, "I get all his money?" she asked herself.

"People I'm not done here," Mr. Moseby almost yelled into the microphone and continued to read, "'But the money will be put into a trust fund. I wanted to see my daughter grow into a responsible young woman, but sadly I will not be able to see that. That is why I decided to name, Marion Moseby, the trustee to the trust?'" Mr. Moseby paused as he stared at the will.

"Why does this seem so familiar?" Maddie asked herself as she turned to Zack who was staring at his sports watch "Ohh I hope this doesn't take any longer, George Lopez is on in ten minutes." Maddie was stunned to hear Zack's comment. "How can you think about some TV show at a time like this?" she asked Zack who wasn't even listening.

"'I have always trusted Marion when it came to my daughter," Moseby continued to read on, "And I will trust that he'll know when to grant London my fortune.'" Moseby paused again realizing how much Mr. Tipton respected him.

"That's not fair!" London shouted, "After making me go to that stupid sea school I still don't get anything?!" She yelled while stomping the ground. "London please control yourself, I'm not done reading the will!" Moseby shouted causing London to reluctantly sit down with her arms crossed.

"Now then, I will continue to read," Moseby said as he read the will, "'As for who I'll put in control of the Tipton Empire, including the chain of Tipton Hotels, I have chosen to leave the responsibility to'…this can't be right."

"What does it say?" one of Mr. Tipton's ex wives asked. "It's says that he leaves the Tipton Empire to…his son, Tiberius Rex Tipton." The people in the ballrooms grew perplexed, it was a known fact that Mr. Tipton only had one child and he then had a vasectomy.

The ballroom was filled with question regarding the son nobody knew about until one person stood up "Excuse me! Can I say something?" Everyone in the room turned to the voice that managed to silence them, it was a teenage boy, he looked around London's age.

He was wearing a black sports coat with some heavy metal shirt underneath, his hair was black and long enough to almost reach his shoulders, and there was a malevolent look on his face. The mysterious boy walked up to the podium and stood in front on Mr. Moseby who looked even smaller compared to the boy.

"Are you quite finished reading my father's will?" He politely asked with a subtle British accent. "Your father?" the confused Moseby asked the towering teenager. "That's right, I am Tiberius Rex Tipton, Wilfred Tipton's second-born child." The people in the ballroom including Mr. Moseby's eyes widen as they heard the boy's announcement.

"That's impossible!" London shouted from across the room, "I never had a little brother!" Tiberius grabbed the microphone from the podium and said, "Yes you did, don't you remember? When we were kids you always made me carry your shoes that you never wore!"

It took London a while but she eventually remembered, when she was six years old she always bossed around a younger boy into doing stuff for her: getting her drinks, modeling dresses, break in some high heeled shoes, and carrying her many many shopping bags. "Ohh I remember now, I thought you were the help."

"You thought everyone was the bloody help! You were so wrapped into your little world that you didn't even noticed that you had a brother." Tiberius yelled. London sat on her chair in shame, there was no way she could come up with one of her usual replies which always switched the blame to the other person.

"Oh I see resemblance now," One of the ex wives stood up, pointing at the boy, "Yeah not just on his looks but Wilfred had the same short temper as this kid."

"Wait a gosh darn minute, if you're really Mr. Tipton's son then where have you been all this time?" Mr. Moseby asked the menacing teen. "I've been in…" Tiberius paused for a moment but then said, "Boarding school…" with a terrifying tone, "Since I was five years old, in fact I just graduated two years earlier than expected." He finished off with a normal voice.

"Now for my first order of business, as owner of the Tipton Hotel, everybody get the hell out of my ballroom." The people unwillingly got up from their seats and left the ballroom while Tiberius Tipton looks on with an ill sense of accomplishment.

The Martin Family entered their suite, Zack sat in front of the TV just in time to see the beginning of his favorite TV show, George Lopez. Carey opened the refrigerator and pulled out lasagna leftovers, while Cody went to his room, closed the door, and laid on his bed. He stared at the ceiling in deep thought, not about the madness at the funeral but about himself and who he used to be.

"Where's Cody? I think there's something upsetting him. " Carey asked while taking out the lasagna leftovers from the microwave. "He's in our room, he just really misses Seven Seas High, did you know that they an aquarium full of exotic fishes?" Zack responded to his worrying mom, "Trust me, once he gets back to school he'll be the same nerdy bookworm he always was."

Later that night, after watching hours of cartoons and sitcoms, Zack headed to his room and crashed into his bed, "Ohh what a day." he groaned out while slowing slipping into his covers. He looked across the room to his brother's bed and saw Cody on top of the covers of his bed, "Hey, can you believe London has a brother?" Zack asked his brother who continued to be silent, "Okay Cody, what's going on with you?"

"Nothing, I'm fine." Cody heartlessly responded to his brother. "No you're not, all you've been doing is moping around in our room." Zack tried to get his twin brother to open up but Cody kept pulling away, "Leave me alone." He told Zack as he buried his head underneath his pillow.

Zack wanted to get up and force Cody into talking, but it was late and he was tired. He decided to wake up early tomorrow when he had enough energy to get his brother to talk. Cody kept thinking about what he was planning tomorrow, he knew it was drastic and that Zack will more than ever ask what's wrong. But he had to do it, he had no other choice rid himself of the last fragment the old Cody Martin.

Well there ya go, I know this chapter mostly revolved on London's lost Brother and not much on Cody and yes you probably expected old Cody to reveal his anguish but be patient because I'm slowly setting the stage. But yeah he'll eventually admits his problem in maybe 2 or 3 chapters and my OC will play a somewhat important role in the whole story. So click those review buttons and I'll work on the next chapter.
