Chapter 2

Again, I don't own any of these characters

The next morning, Cody and Bailey met everyone at the breakfast buffet. They could only watch in fascination as somethings hadn't changed a bit. Woody was going straight for the breakfast burritos while Addison was telling the server to add even more powdered sugar to her French toast. Of course, there were other people that hadn't experience the grandeur of the S.S. Tipton still taking everything in. Max and Tapeworm were still getting used to everything and still wondering how they all graduated with so many distractions.

Zack shrugged. "After a while, you got used to having everything around..."

Max shook her head. "I don't think so...I probably would have flunked out the first semester..."

Zack grinned. "Why do you think I was happy having the Codester around?"

Cody rolled his eyes. "I can just feel the love..."

Tapeworm laughed and turned to Cody. "How did you not get distracted by all of this?"

Cody smiled. "There was only one thing on this ship that distracted me..."

"What was that?"

Cody took Bailey's hand in his. "My soon to be bride...Fortunately though, she took her studies as seriously as I did..."

Bailey smiled at him. "Fortunately for me too. With Cody around to study with and compete with, both us did better than we could have on our own..."

Marcus laughed. "Well, I hear your nerdy ways continued at Yale. From what I hear, you two won almost every award they handed out..."

Zack decided to change the subject. "So, we're in the Caribbean and its a beautiful day. What's the plan?"

Everyone looked around at each other.

Zack laughed. "Well, looks like I'm going to have to take charge. How does the lido deck sound? There's enough there for everyone to have fun..."

And with that, everyone returned to their cabins and changed into their swimsuits. Once changed, they all met on the lido deck for a day of the water slides and the wave pool. As they were laying out and soaking up some sun, Cody noticed Ty, Beth, Ella and Brent walking on to the deck. Cody motioned them over.

Beth grinned. "There you two are. We knew you had to be around here somewhere..."

Bailey grinned back. "Just doing some relaxing. How are you guys enjoying the S.S. Tipton?"

Ella laughed. "This place is amazing!"

Ty nodded. "It sure is. I wish I had known about this place. I would have applied..."

About that time, Zack and Cassie had returned from the pool and had Katie, Billy, Zoey and Chas in tow.

Cody smiled. "Well, looks we have a little family reunion here. All the cousins are here..."

Zack looked at his brother in confusion. "Huh?"

"Zack, this is Ty, Beth, Ella and Brent. Ty and Ella are Uncle Tommy's grandchildren and our cousins. Ty, Beth, Ella, and Brent, this is my twin brother, Zack; his girlfriend and Bailey's cousin, Cassie, and Uncle Mitch's great granddaughters, Katie and Zoey along with their boyfriends Billy and Chas...Wow, that was a mouthful..."

Everyone went through the long process of shaking hands and making their introductions.

Ty paused and laughed. "You know, for a family having so many twins, none of the three sets look all that much alike..."

Beth nodded. "For real. I kept imagining two of Cody, but there are noticeable differences..."

Bailey laughed. "Trust me...they get even easier to tell apart once you get to know them longer..."

Zack paused and turned to Cassie. "Was that a veiled insult?"

Cassie laughed. "Not really. It just means after knowing you two for so long, there is no way any of us would ever confuse the two of you..."

Zack shrugged. "If you say so. I do miss the days of Cody and I confusing people by making them think there was only one of us..."

Zoey laughed. "You two did that too? I loved doing that. Until Katie became a stick in the mud about it..."

"So did Cody..."

The rest of the day was spent relaxing and taking advantage of all of the amenities on the lido deck. With even more couples around, they even had a chicken fight tournament. Of course, times hadn't changed and Woody and Addison again won with ease. Of course, Addison had been working out with Woody, and she now up to ninety-eight pounds of pure power. Once it got closer to sunset, everyone returned to their cabin to shower and get changed for dinner.

Bailey was getting ready as Cody was still in the shower. She noticed he had been in there a while, and once he came out, she turned to face him.

"That was a long shower..."

Cody grinned. "Well, the first part of it was a cold one..."

"Why did you need one of those?"

"Well, because of our agreement. Do you have any idea how sexy you looked in your bikini today?"

Bailey smiled, got up and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you...but its only a couple of more days..."

Cody nodded. "I know...And I'm trying to be good..." He smiled. "But when you have a fiancee who is as gorgeous as you, it takes a lot of self control..."

Bailey shook her head and laughed. "Hurry up and get dressed. We're going to be late for dinner..."

Dinner was fun as everyone continued to get to know each other. And at the restaurant, Cody and Bailey saw others they hadn't seen yet. Bill and Jo were having dinner with Tutweiler and Moseby, and Cody and Bailey went over and said hello to them. At another table was Esteban, Francesca, Mother Ramirez and little Mario who was getting bigger. Maddie and Trevor were at a table with London. Cody and Bailey shrugged. It didn't appear London had a date, but they couldn't be for sure. And at other various tables, there were more of their friends and families.

Monday was basically a repeat of Sunday as everyone took it easy and had fun. Cody and Bailey spent more time hanging out with their families and friends and enjoyed just being there with them. Tuesday was a little different as it rained that day. Cody and Bailey shrugged and said they were glad it hit then instead of on Thursday. Of course, the weather reports for Thursday were looking great, and the ship's captain had been instructed to avoid any upcoming bad weather.

Wednesday brought with it the first day of full wedding mode. First thing that morning, Cody, Bailey and the rest of the wedding party met up for their final fittings. The guys were in one area while the girls were in another. After all, Cody still wasn't supposed to see Bailey's wedding dress. Once that was done, Cody and Bailey had a meeting with Maria.

"Alright, the fittings are done, and everything else seems to be running smoothly. The flowers, decorations and food for tomorrow are being helicoptered into today..."

Bailey smiled. "Is there anything we need to be doing?"

Maria smiled. "Just show up later for the wedding rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner afterwards..."

Cody nodded. "Sounds good. Rehearsal is at 5:00, right?"

"Correct...And we'll be there until we get it right..." She grinned. "Or at least until you two are satisfied..."

"We'll be there..."

Maria got up to leave as Cody and Bailey sat there taking a minute to relax.

"Well, we have about five hours to waste. Any ideas?"

Bailey paused to think about that. "I don't know...I guess I could go ahead and pack my bag. After all, I'm staying in London's suite tonight..."

Cody sighed. "I know...Its going to awfully lonely without you in the cabin tonight..."

Bailey smiled at him. "I know...But you won't be alone. Cassie is staying in London's cabin with me, so Zack will be staying with you..."

"Great..."

Bailey just shook her head. "Come on, Cody...He's your brother. I know you love him."

"I do...but if I had to choose a roommate between the two of you, it wouldn't even be close..."

Bailey smiled. "I appreciate that..."

Cody smiled back at her. "Its true...I suppose I can handle one more night with Zack...but after that, you are the only one I want..."

"I know...I feel the same way...Come on, Codykins...Lets go get my things together...Maybe when we're done, we can lie in each other's arms and take a nap together..."

"Now you're talking!"

"We need our rest...Tonight's going to be a long night and tomorrow's our wedding..."

To be Continued...

Author's Note: I'm glad everyone enjoyed the final chapter of A Rose by Any Other Name. But seriously? Did you really think we were going to kill anyone off? Look at the whole Cailey on Deck series I've wrote. My death toll for the whole series is negative 2. Anyways, hopefully by now, everyone has seen Senior Ditch Day. Again, I dare anyone who watched it to deny that Cody and Bailey were meant for each other. Of course, Pair of Kings is on, and as its the first time I've seen it...I'm not impressed. Tomorrow's chapter will probably be up in the morning as I'm off to homecoming against Joe-ja (Georgia).
