Chapter Two

Giving the Gift Away

"Hey Danny," the twins greeted as they stepped off the elevator into the lobby to see Maddie's boyfriend sitting on one of the couch's. The boy looked up at the twins and smiled.

"Hey guys," he greeted back, "how are you doing?"

"Pretty good," Cody answered as they sat down, "Are you and Maddie going out tonight or something?"

"No, I am waiting for London," he shrugged.

"London?" the boys both asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

"Yeah, she's going to tell me what to buy Maddie," he answered, "You know, for Christmas."

"You still haven't gotten Maddie's Christmas gift?" Zack asked, his teeth clenching, "Christmas is two days away."

"That's why I'm going shopping now," Danny rolled his eyes at the boys, "Duh."

"You really are too smart for us," Cody laughed, walking away and dragging Zack with him, "okay, now don't say anything stupid to Danny."

"But he's going with LONDON to buy Maddie's Christmas gift," Zack informed him, "There's no one worse in the world to help you buy Maddie's Christmas gift."

"I know that," Cody soothed his brother, "But you have to remember that this is Maddie's significant other we are talking about, just let it go. I'm sure he will find her a terrific gift. Besides, if he doesn't, you will win the bet."

"Fine, whatever," Zack muttered, walking back into the hotel, "He just better get her a good gift."

99999

A couple of hours later, a satisfied Danny walked into the Tipton Hotel to see Zack sitting on the couch, arms crossed and staring off into space. He quickly approached him.

"Do you want to see what I got Maddie?" Danny eagerly said as he stepped up to the young boy. Zack snapped out of his reverie to glare at the boy, but merely nodded. Danny didn't seem to notice anything being wrong and happily opened the bag that he had the gift in and pulled out the gift, handing it to Zack.

"You got her a teddy bear?" Zack quirked an eyebrow at the boy.

"Well, yeah, stuffed animals are always good gifts," Danny said, confused. Zack sighed.

"For Valentine's Day," Zack told him, rolling his eyes, "didn't you even come up with one good gift idea? A teddy bear doesn't say that you know someone, it just says that you think they are cutesy and you didn't know what else to get them so you get them a teddy bear."

"I also got her a watch that lights up in the dark," Danny offered with a smile. Zack looked at the boy, again like he was stupid.

"Are you serious?" he questioned. When Danny nodded, Zack was dumbfounded.

"Have you ever had a girlfriend before?" Zack demanded to know. When Danny shrugged, Zack hopped up from his seat on the couch.

"I'll be back, don't move," Zack instructed him, "And do not give that awful present to Maddie."

A few minutes later, Zack returned with a carefully wrapped present in his hands with a huge bow on top of it and handed it to Danny.

"You got me a gift?" Danny asked him, stepping away.

"No idiot, it is the Christmas gift I got for Maddie," Zack snapped at him, "She deserves a great gift from her boyfriend. And since you're her boyfriend, you have to give her this gift. This perfect gift that I found. That I spent a lot of money on."

"Are you trying to make me feel bad for buying her a watch and a teddy bear?" Danny asked.

"Yes, because, you should know Maddie," Zack said, frustrated, "You should know her likes and dislikes, what she's wanted since she was a little girl. What she wants for her future. You should know these things, and trust me with those gifts you are just saying that you had no idea what to get her."

"Fine, I'll take your gift," Danny smiled, knowing that Zack must have gotten her a really great gift, "what did you get for her anyways?"

"A tea set," Zack sighed, "Just like the one she wanted when she was a little girl but her parent's never got for her because they felt she wasn't responsible enough and they couldn't afford a nice one. Tell her that when you give it to her, and it will make her think of a time when she told you that story and all will be well in your relationship."

"Why'd you get this gift for her?" Danny asked suspiciously.

"Because I wanted to give her something great," Zack admitted, "And now you get to give it to her."

"Thanks," Danny said, "And I know how you feel about her buddy, it was pretty obvious, but I thank you anyways."

"You should, I don't get chocolate because of you," Zack muttered, "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go and see if I can come up with some sort of gift for Maddie before she asks me about it."

Zack walked back to the elevators, leaving a surprised Danny behind.

"Hey Danny," Maddie said sweetly as she walked up to her boyfriend, giving him a quick kiss. He turned around and smiled at her, handing her the gift.

"For me?" she asked sweetly, taking the gift and sitting down to open it, "I can't tell you how excited I am to see this."

As Maddie opened the tea set and looked at it, Danny couldn't help but notice how happy she looked. At how intricately designed the set was. About how much Zack must really care for Maddie to give up such a great gift.
