Chapter 3: Just My Luck
Zack's POV:
I knew that if London was with Maddie, they'd be either at the mall, London's room, or a spa. I went to London's room and knocked on the door, no one answered. I ran to my room to get Cody.
"Codester, stop cooking, we're going to the mall" I said walking through the door.
"But I'm making a cheese parfait. It's really hard and I want to get it right." He said, my brother is such a dork.
"I won't blow off the money I took from you, if you come with me" I said
"How much did you take?" he asked
"just all of the Maddie's not going to marry Zack fund" I said
"But that's the biggest one, ok, I'll go. Just taste this" he said holding up a spoon with food on it. I tried it and loved it.
"What is it?" I asked
"It's something I created, I call it Suite Tip. What does it taste like?" he asked
"It taste like… something really good. I taste peanut butter" I started to say, he nods. "Carmel" he nods again. "And apples"
"Wow, you tasted the main things I put in. Let's go, maybe if we hurry I'll have enough time to make another one before Mom tries to cook." He said
walking away from the counter "Let's rock and roll" he said opening the door
"Cody, ditch the apron" I said, he looked down and threw the apron onto the couch. We had to get on the bus to get to the mall. We ran into each store that Maddie or London might go in.
"This is hopeless, we've been running around for like two hours" Cody said
"It's not hopeless" I said spotting the only store left "I see it, I see them" I said running into the store. Two girls were sitting in chairs, one had long blonde hair and the other brown. As I got closer I realized it wasn't Maddie.
"Oops, well, I feel stupid" I said
"Is this a new feeling?" he asked
"Shut up, Cody" I said walking towards the cashier. "Hey Pete, has Maddie came in today?" I asked
"Yeah, Z, she came in like twenty minutes ago. She had her nails done and was with London." Pete said
"That means she got a manicure, if she got a manicure then she would have to get a pedicure too, which means she'd go back to the Tipton afterwards. Cody, we have to go" I said turning around
"Ok, to the Tipton" he said
We had to walk through the rest of the mall, and run for three blocks in the rain, just to get to the bus stop.
"Zack, next time you have us go to the mall, to look for Maddie. We better find her" he said shivering on the bus
"Don't worry, we're almost there" I said, we were about one block away, but that didn't matter. Cody was annoyed, I was soaked, and the bus was stopped by a train.
"Great job, Zack" he said
"It's not my fault" I said
"Well, this is just great, by now Mom's ready to cook, so I have to wait until tomorrow to perfect my Suite Tip. That's just my luck" he said
"No, having the girl I love at a hotel one block away, that I can't get to, a brother blaming me for everything, and a whole in the roof above me leaking water onto my head, is just my luck" I said
Maddie's POV:
We got a manicure, then went to my favorite store, then got pedicures, then went to the Tipton. When we got there, Zack was no where to be seen, Cody was gone, and something really good was on the stove of their suite. London made me go over there, to say hi, but no one was there but Carey.
"Have you seen the boys?" she asked letting us in
"That's what we were going to ask you" I said
"The only thing here when I got back, was an empty jar ,that used to hold one of Cody's many money savers, some sweet tasting food, and an apron on the couch. I thought they may have left to go hang out with you" Carey said, after hearing that I was getting worried.
"We have to find them" I said
"Wait, where's London?" Carey asked
"Over here" London said walking out of the twins room. "I found something, I found an empty jar, some sweet tasting food, and a radio that only plays one song" London says walking over to us
"What song?" I asked
"If I Had One Wish, Zack's been listening to it nonstop all day. When he woke up, he turned it on. Then he played some other songs then he played it again. He kept switching between other songs and that one, then he just played it over and over." Carey said
"Why?" London asked
"Because today is a very important day to him" Carey says
"Because it's the day he met me" I said, then a thought came into my head. "London, is your limo full of gas?" I asked her
"Yeah, why?" she said
"We have to find them, and I have a really good idea where they are." I said. We ran down to the limo, got in and rode to the mall again. We ran around for what felt like years with no success.
"This is hopeless" London said
"No, it's not, I see them" I said, I saw two blonde haired boys listening to music, as I got closer I realized it wasn't them. "Oops, my bad" I said. I walked out of the mall and stood around in front looking for them. I walked around a little with still no luck.
"Well, we can look for them later, let's go ride around and check the streets." London said, smartly. I didn't even know she could say smart things
"London, you are a geni… geni… ok, you said something smart let's go" I said grabbing her hand and pulling her towards the door of the limo. We got in the limo and I stuck my head out the sun roof. It was raining but I didn't care. I would call out their names with no answer. We rode around almost all of Boston and then London took me home.
"Let's hope they came home already" London said as I stepped out the limo.
"Let's, I just hope they're safe" I said closing the door, and walking in. "I'm home" I yelled walking upstairs.
"Maddie, you have visitors" My mom said pointing towards my room. I mouthed out the words who and she replied with guess. I rushed upstairs, to see…
