"Whatya doin'?" London asked as Bailey started typing frantically on the new laptop she'd received for her 18th birthday last week.

"I'm gonna ask a few of the authors over on FanFiction .net to help us out," she replied, not even bothering to look up from the screen. "We have to make sure that we don't miss any of the amazing stories on the website."

"Good point," London said, averting her attention back to her perfectly manicured nails.

A few seconds later, there was a knock on their cabin door. But before one of the girls could even answer, the door flew open to reveal a slightly sweaty Zack Martin.

"Zack! You can't just come barging in here!" Bailey exclaimed, looking up from her laptop for the first time since turning it on. "One of us could've been naked, you know…"

"Oh come on. You know I only have eyes for Cody now. Which is why I'm here, actually," he said, giving Bailey a small apologetic smile.

"Cody? Is something wrong?" she asked, sounding a little worried.

"No. Well, not yet. But there will be if I don't find him the perfect anniversary gift…" Zack said, a slight look of fear spreading across his face.

"Just get him diamonds..." London said, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

Bailey let out a slight giggle as Zack just rolled his eyes in amazement. "Great idea, London. If I could actually afford diamonds, that is!"

"Oh yeah. I keep forgetting how tragically poor you people are," she replied nonchalantly.

"You could always make him something," Bailey suggested, finally placing her laptop aside.

"Like what?" Zack asked her despondently.

"Ooh, I know!" London blurted out excitedly. "Get him a heart shaped necklace!"

"London, that's actually not such a bad idea," Bailey said with a slightly shocked expression. "You can get yourself one too and have each other's names engraved on the back…"

"You really think Cody would like it?" Zack asked them, unsure of the idea.

"Of course he would. Poor people like romantic junk like that," London said.

"He would love it," Bailey confirmed, smiling reassuringly at the insecure blond before her.

She glanced back at her laptop screen, noticing she'd received a new email. She opened it immediately, her face lighting up like a Christmas tree as she began reading it.

"Okay, it's time for you to get out now. We have some girl stuff to talk about…" Bailey told Zack, who now held an extremely confused look on his face.

"Okay?" he said, reluctantly getting up from the bed he was sitting on. "Oh, and thanks for the advice."

"You're welcome. Now leave!" she blurted out, causing Zack to bolt out the door.

London let out an amused snicker as Zack almost ran into the framework, before a look of confusion spread across her own face.

"What was that about?" she asked Bailey, looking over at the smirking farmgirl.

"I just received the nominations for the awards show!"
