All Aboard the S.S Tipton

Location

The S.S Tipton

The Main Lobby

"Welcome to the S.S Tipton! I'm Marion Moseby your host for this trip." Mr. Moseby explained as soon as he saw a new group of people enter the lobby and walk up to the front desk. "How may I help you?

A throat cleared, "Yes; we have a reservation under the name Stewart."

Mr. Moseby froze and looked up at the guest. With a big smile, Moseby greeted them instantly and felt stupid for not looking at who they were in the first place. Before him stood Robby Ray Stewart and his son Jackson Stewart. Instantly; Mr. Moseby began to type on his computer and get to work on things.

"I see." Mr. Moseby stated as he smiled. "Yup; here's your name, you'll be staying in Suite D36." Mr. Moseby finished as he handed Mr. Stewart a card key and a few other things.

"Thank you Mr. Moseby." Mr. Stewart replied as he took the items.

"No; thank you for choosing the S.S Tipton! We hope you enjoy your stay." Mr. Moseby finished.

Just like that, Jackson and Mr. Stewart began to get escorted towards their cabin suite. After a while of walking with a fellow employee; the three finally made it to the suite. Giving Mr. Stewart the key; the employee walked off while Jackson and Mr. Stewart turned into their and began to unpack.

"Are you sure Lilly and Oliver are coming?" Mr. Stewart questioned as he placed his suite down.

Jackson nodded, "Yup! Both confirmed to me, and there even brining friends along with them." Jackson finished as he laid his suite case on his bed, opened it and began to look for through it.

Mr. Stewart eyed him at the mention of the word friends. "Oh boy; this should be one interesting cruise." Mr. Stewart finished as he sat on the bed he chose and began to look in his suite case too.

"Defiantly." Jackson replied as he began to unpack some clothes. "Speaking of coming; do you know when Miles is gonna be here?" Jackson questioned as he raised an eyebrow at his father.

"She should be here soon." Mr. Stewart explained as he grinned at the thought.

"Awesome." Jackson finished. "Well, until Miles is here, what would you say to a little, exploring?" Jackson wondered as he looked at his father with hope. "I read online, that there's a Sky Deck, a Fiesta Deck and an Arcade Room." Jackson explained as he grinned. "Now; I don't know about you; but I defiantly want enjoy my free time as much as I can." Jackson finished as he continued to unpack

Mr. Stewart laughed to himself. "Of course, we can explore a little son. After all, this is our time too. Miley's birthday is two days from now. So; until then, everyone will get the chance to catch up and relax while having some fun in the sun." Mr. Stewart finished as he and Jackson smiled.

"Sweet Niblits!" Jackson stated as he put on a pair of sunglasses. "Then, let's go rock this boat daddio." Jackson finished as he grabbed his swim trunks and vanished out the door.

Mr. Stewart watched him leave before he sighed to himself. "My boy." Mr. Stewart stated as he smiled and shook his head. "My strange, strange boy." Mr. Stewart finished as he got up and followed Jackson out the door…

The S.S Tipton

Sky Deck

This time of day was always busy on the Sky Deck. Employees on the ship did their job, and passengers/students chose this time to either relax with friends and family or play a various amount of games held on the ship. But, it was at this time that Jackson and Mr. Stewart found themselves sitting at a counter from a stand known as the Juice Squeeze. Both, were ordering smoothies.

"Excuse me; bus boy?" Jackson questioned as the teenaged blonde haired boy working behind the counter. Jackson didn't notice the annoyed look he received from the kid. "I was wondering what you recommended?" Jackson wondered as he eyed the kid's nametag.

"A vacation – "Zack (as the name tag read) replied with sarcasm. "– Away from reality." Zack finished as Jackson and Mr. Stewart eyed the kid. Was he serious?

"Well then, I guess that's not my problem hu?" Jackson questioned making Zack frown. "But, seriously; what do you recommend?" Jackson wondered as he gestured to the menu.

"Oh, that's easy – "An African-American kid from beside Jackson suddenly began, making both Jackson and Mr. Stewart eye the kid with question. "– I recommend the Orange Blast or the Berry Mix. Both, are very delicious." The kid finished as he kissed his fingers.

For a moment, silence came over them before Mr. Stewart raised an eyebrow at the kid. "– And, you are?" Mr. Stewart wondered as the kid eyed him realization and surprise.

"Right, sorry." The kid apologized as he held his hand out for the two to shake. "I'm Boomer, Boomer Parker." Boomer introduced as Jackson and Mr. Stewart eyed one another once more.

"Nice to meet you Boomer." Jackson stated as he held his hand out and shook Boomer's. "I'm Jackson and this my father Robbie." Jackson introduced as he gestured to himself and Mr. Stewart.

Both watched as Boomer's eyes widen. "You wouldn't happen to be the Stewart's, would you? Jackson and Robbie Stewart?" Boomer wondered as the two looked at him in surprise.

"Yup; that'd be us." Mr. Stewart finished as he sent a weak smile at the kid as Jackson ordered a Berry Mix smoothie from Zack.

"Oh, this is awesome." Boomer stated as he grinned at the two. "My brother was looking around for you two earlier." Boomer explained simply when he saw Jackson and Mr. Stewart's confused looks. "I'm not sure where he went, but he'd said he'd be back. His name is Brady. Although, I believe you know him as Oliver, right?" Boomer wondered as he raised an eyebrow at the two.

"As in; Oliver Oken?" Mr. Stewart questioned.

Boomer held a thoughtful look. "I don't remember what his last name was, but I think that was it." Boomer finished as he smiled at Mr. Stewart before turning around in his seat.

"Well, if you see him again, please have him meet us in the Main Lobby for the arrival of Miley later this afternoon." Mr. Stewart instructed as Boomer nodded his head. "We're expecting her around noon hopefully. Until then, we'll be hanging around here." Mr. Stewart finished as Boomer took another smoothie from Zack.

"Got it." Boomer finished as he stood with his smoothie in hand, while paying Zack. "I'll go find him. Hopefully I can before noon. I'll see you around, it was nice meeting you." Boomer finished as he turned and walked off while waving at Jackson and Mr. Stewart.

"Well…that was odd…" Zack stated from behind Jackson and Mr. Stewart after Boomer vanished.

Jackson turned to Zack, "Really?" Jackson wondered as he raised an eyebrow at Zack. "As odd as the greeting from a bus boy who suggested a vacation away from realty?" Jackson wondered as Zack frowned once more and eyed Jackson. "Seriously; what goes through your mind?" Jackson wondered as he and Zack eyed one another with annoyance while Mr. Stewart frowned and faced palmed.

"Hm…let's see…" Zack began as he set down a smoothie cup and began to count on his fingers. "…School, my brother, my friends, girls, this ship, work, the manager oh, and let's not forget sports." Zack finished.

"Right…" Jackson muttered as he rolled his eyes to himself. "…Well, thanks for the smoothies Zack." Jackson finished as he handed Zack his empty cup while getting up to leave.

"Anytime." Zack finished as he took the cup and watched Jackson and Mr. Stewart leave.

Once they were gone, Zack frowned. "What a weird family. I'm really not that surprised Miley turned out how she did…" Zack trailed as he frowned for a moment before shaking his head. "Meh, this still might be one crazy cruise." Zack finished as he turned around, went back to work and began to help other customers…

The S.S Tipton

Main Lobby

After Jackson stood up from the smoothie counter he headed back to the Main Lobby of the ship; ready for his sister's arrival. Of course, they still had about an hour or so till Miley arrived, but Jackson was so anxious and exited to see his sister, he just had to make sure he was there on time. Besides; it was a chance to get away from Zack the bus boy. Not that there was anything wrong with Zack, he just seemed a little rude to Jackson, his dad and that Boomer kid. Was he always in a mood? Yet, he didn't allow his mind to wonder about Zack for too long, for he began to think about seeing Oliver, Lilly and Miley again.

As weird as it sounded (and he would admit this outloud); he actually missed the three of them being best friends.
He wasn't going to go into much detail, but after their big fight about Miley's image, nothing has ever been the same again.

BAM!

Jackson was so lost in thought about everything; he didn't even watch where he was walking. "Dang flabbit! I am so sorry." Jackson apologized instantly and began to reach down and help the person pick up their bags/items.

"Wait…Dang flabbit? Jackson?"

This time, he stood up and handed the person the rest of their stuff. But, when he did, he was shocked to see Lilly Truscott standing in front of him with a huge smile on her face.

"Jackson! It's me, Lilly." Lilly explained after Jackson didn't answer her reply.

"LILLY!"

"JACKSON!"

Suddenly; the two pulled into a hug and began to happy dance in the Lobby. As they did, everyone around them looked at the two like they were crazy. Yet, this didn't stop the two longtime friends from continuing their dance and soon stopping only to begin talking at once to catch up with one another. It was odd to see Lilly; but at the same time, things were slowly starting to feel right again for Jackson.

Just then, a throat cleared and both Jackson and Lilly turned to see two people eyeing them with confusion.

"Uh…Lilly; I got the room keys." A man in his late thirties explained as he held up the room keys.

"Awesome!" Lilly exclaimed with a smile before she put her arm around Jackson. "Jackson, this is my boss/boyfriend Josh and my friend Yolanda." Lilly introduced as she pointed to the man and women. "Josh, Yolanda, this my longtime friend/adopted brother Jackson Stewart." Lilly finished introducing as Jackson shook hands with Josh and Yolanda.

"So; you're the famous Jackson we kept hearing about since she got the invite." Josh stated as he shook Jackson's hand. "Let me ask you something Jackson; Did you happen to know about Lilly's new life as Gabbie Dimond?" Josh questioned as he raised an eyebrow and stopped shaking Jackson's hand.

"Really?" Lilly questioned as she frowned and eyed Josh. "You're not going to let that one go, are you?" Lilly questioned as she crossed her arms.

"Nope." Josh replied as he and Lilly sent looks.

"Well, I would assume Jackson here knew, right?" Yolanda questioned as she patted Jackson on the shoulder with a smile. "Otherwise; you wouldn't have been able to send her the invitation, now would you?" Yolanda finished as she placed her hands on her hips and grinned while Jackson nodded. "Speaking of which, thanks for the invite, were really looking forward to getting to know the real Lilly and her friends." Yolanda added as she and Lilly smiled at one another.

"You're welcome." Jackson replied with as he crossed his arms in thought as he looked over Lilly, Josh and Yolanda once more. "But uh, weren't their supposed to be four of you?" Jackson wondered with interest.

Lilly nodded, "There was; but Elliot decided to not come. That, and he and his Allen wanted to spend some quality couple time together while we were gone." Lilly finished explained as she smiled to herself.

"Oh alright. Well, now why don't we left you three get settled in and meet back up with us in an hour? Miles will hopefully be here by then and so will Oliver and his friend. Then, we call get this party started." Mr. Stewart finished explaining as he, Jackson, Lilly, Yolanda and Josh all cheered in excitement and began to do exactly what Mr. Stewart planned. Yup; this was going to be one interesting party…

The S.S Tipton

Arcade Room/Main Lobby

Meanwhile, during the events in the Lobby; one boy known as Oliver Oken had found himself in the Arcade Room at some point in time. While being at the Arcade Room, Oliver figured that he had some time before he had to find his half-brother Boomer and meet up with him, so he figured why not chill out and play some games? In fact, that is exactly what he was doing right now.

The music on the machine played; people moved about the Arcade Room and Oliver was focused on the game too much to even notice someone join him. Besides him, a blonde kid about his age put on the red pair of headphones from the consuls and the two battled it out against one another. Surprisingly; Oliver had beaten the blonde-haired kids character best two out of three.
When the game was over; he turned to face the kid.

"Hey; great game hu?" Oliver questioned as he smiled.

"Tell me about it, it's one of my favorites. My brother and I play it all the time, but I've gotta say; it was nice to have a new face to play against. You're pretty good." The blonde-haired kid finished with a grin.

"Aw thanks; you're really good too." Oliver complimented as he held out a hand to the kid. "Oliver Oken." Oliver introduced with a smile.

The blonde-haired kid took his hand and shook it, "Cody Martin." Cody introduced as they finished shaking hands. A moment of silence came in between them before Cody spoke up, "Are you knew to this boat? I haven't seen you around before? Are you by chance coming into the new semester at Seven Seas High?" Cody wondered as he raised an eyebrow at Oliver.

Oliver shook his head, "Actually I am new here. But uh, no, I'm not here for Seven Seas High. My friends eighteenth birthday party is this weakened and were celebrating it here on the S.S Tipton." Oliver finished explaining as he smiled at the thought of seeing his old friends again. "Do you go to Seven Seas High?" Oliver questioned with slight interest.

Cody nodded, "Yup. My twin brother and I do. It's our second year here." Cody finished as he smiled. "But it's cool that you're here too. You know; you'll love the ship I'm sure. Maybe we can hang out some time again while you're here before your friends' birthday celebration?" Cody questioned as he gave Oliver a hopeful grin.

"Defiantly." Oliver finished with slight excitement.

Just as Cody was about to reply; a boy about their age with short brown hair, brown eyes and colorful shirt and pants to match came rushing up to the two boys. As he did, Cody and Oliver both eyed him with interest. For one, the kid oddly seemed familiar to Cody for some odd reason. For two, the kid obviously knew Oliver for that was the person he ran up to when he stopped to catch his breath.

"Yo Boom! What's up!?" Oliver questioned with slight worry as he eyed his brother with interest.

The kid held his hands up and began to try and take deep breaths and slow his heart rate. When he finally got himself calmed down, he smiled at Oliver. "You won't believe who I saw. The Stewarts." The kid explained as he smiled. "They're here on the boat. They told me to have us meet up with them in the main lobby by noon for your friend's arrival." The kid finished as he allowed his eyes to shift from Oliver to Cody. As soon as he saw Cody; the two other boys could see the kids face scrunch up in confusion. "Hey – "The kid began as he pointed at Cody. "– Weren't you just working at the smoothie bar?" The kid asked.

Cody chuckled to himself slightly. "Oh; you're mistaking me for my twin brother. Yeah, a lot of people do that. But really, that was Zack working at the smoothie bar. I'm Cody." Cody finished as he held out his hand to the kid in front of him. The kid standing in front of him and Oliver took his hand and shook it instantly.

"I'm Boomer." Boomer finished as they finished shaking hands. When they were done shaking hands; Boomer turned to Oliver. "So; Oliver; it's fifteen minutes until noon, think we should head to the Main Lobby and meet up with your friends?" Boomer questioned with a smile and slight excitement.

Oliver nodded, "Sounds cool." Oliver then turned to Cody. "Well, it was nice meeting you Cody; but I've got to head out. I'll see you around, though right?" Oliver questioned with a hopeful tone.

"Totally." Cody finished with a grin. "So, see you later, good luck with your friends." Cody finished as he waved goodbye and turned to go find his twin at the smoothie bar.

Just like that, Oliver and Boomer followed Cody's steps outside of the Arcade Room and made their way towards the Main Lobby. It took the two-a while to find the Main Lobby for neither one of the boys was very good with directions. But, after asking for help twice, buying a map of the ship and one-bathroom break, the two half-brothers finally found the Main Lobby.
As soon as they entered the Main Lobby; they instantly ran into Jackson and Mr. Stewart.

"Jackson!? Mr. Stewart!?" Oliver questioned with a huge smile.

"Well I'll be darned. If it isn't Oliver." Mr. Stewart stated with a grin as he came up and hugged him. When the two pulled away; Mr. Stewart patted him on the shoulder. "How've you been?" Mr. Stewart asked.

"Pretty good, what about you?" Oliver wondered as he raised an eye brow with interest.

"Same old, same old." Mr. Stewart replied simply and then turned to Oliver and Boomer. "Well, now that you two are here, we just have to wait for Lilly and her friends to return. Then, Miles should be here any time after that and soon, we can get this party weekend started." Mr. Stewart finished with a cheer.

Oliver had frozen at the Lilly's name. "Wait…Lilly's here too?" Oliver questioned as he eyed Mr. Stewart.

"Yup." Mr. Stewart replied with a small smirk. "In fact, Jackson just went to go find them and – "Mr. Stewart began only to be interrupted by Jackson and Lilly running into the Main Lobby and hiding behind the check in counter with Mr. Mosby eyeing the two in confusion. "– There here now." Mr. Stewart finished with slight uncertainty as the bus boy from the smoothie bar came rushing in obviously looking for the two.

The kid known as Zack (as they had learned earlier from the smoothie bar) had what looked like white cake all across his front and face. Some of the icing had even gotten into his hair and an angry look plastered across his face. After he looked around the Main Lobby for a few minutes, he gave up and stormed out the other door in while mumbling angrily to himself. As soon as he was gone, Jackson and Lilly popped up from behind the counter and suddenly they spotted Mr. Stewart and Oliver standing not too far from them. However; before they could say anything; Mr. Stewart broke the silence…

"What in the dang flabbit happened you two!?" Mr. Stewart questioned as he, Jackson, Oliver, Lilly, Boomer and Mr. Mosby all gathered around one another.

"Yes, I for one would like an explanation on what went on too? I mean, I'm sure Zack deserved it, but still, I would like an explanation." Mr. Mosby stated as he eyed Jackson and Lilly.

"Well, you see uh…" Jackson began with slight nervousness as he chuckled to himself.

"… Jackson, came to find me and my friends and when he did, he told me that Miley should be arriving any time soon. So; being the best amazing friend that I am, I suggested to Jackson that we get a welcome back present or something. You know; to show her that we missed her and still are her friends no matter what happened between us." Lilly began to explain with a smile.

"Right! And, I thought the idea was like an awesome one! So; to help; I suggested that we get a welcome home cake for her and Lilly agreed." Jackson continued to explain as he sighed. "Then, we got one as you can tell. And, when we got it, we began to carry it to the Main Lobby since it was a little heavy; but sadly, ran into that bus boy known as Zack. When we ran into Zack, the cake smashed all over him and the Sky Deck and well, that's how we ended up here." Jackson finished as he and Lilly both sent a nervous laugh as they eyed one another and then Mr. Mosby.

"Well, I'll let you off the hook this time." Mr. Mosby stated as everyone looked at him in surprise. "Only because it IS your friend's birthday. But, you are to apologize to Zack and clean up the mess you made on the Sky Deck. Understand?" Mr. Mosby questioned as he turned serious and eyed the two young adults.

Jackson and Lilly both nodded. "Good." Mr. Mosby finished as he turned and went back to his check in counter.

Then, when he was gone, Jackson and Lilly turned to eye a laughing Boomer and Oliver. "Man; you two haven't even been on the ship for long and already are causing trouble. That has to be some kind of record!?" Boomer finished as he and Oliver laughed at the two.

"Aw come on you two; enough with the laughing." Mr. Stewart finished. "Miley will be here any minuet and we need to be ready to surprise." Mr. Stewart stated with slight excitement.

"I know! And, I can't wait!" Lilly stated as she clapped her hands in excitement. "As soon as she gets here I'm totally taking her shopping to catch up with her." Lilly finished with a smile.

Oliver looked at her look she was crazy. "What!? No, you're not." Oliver stated as he shook his head. "I'm taking her out to dinner for her birthday." Oliver finished as he grinned to himself.
"After all, she's my friend too. And, if anything; I want to make it up to her after that horrible fight we had. What better way than to take her out for dinner?" Oliver questioned.

"Really?" Lilly questioned as she eyed him. "Taking her out to dinner? That's best idea you could come up with?" Lilly questioned as she frowned and crossed her arms.

"Oh, like shopping is any better?" Oliver questioned in a challenging voice as they two eyed one another.

"Guys; really? You're fighting about this!?" Jackson questioned as he eyed the two in surprise and slight annoyance. While Jackson questioned that, no one noticed the elevator to the Main Lobby open. Once it opened, Miley Stewart herself stepped out of the elevator and smile the minuet she spotted her family and her two best friends. She walked up to them during their conversation and began to try and get their attention. Sadly though, she was ignored and Jackson carried on the conversation. "Seriously guys; if anything, I think Miley would like to relax and unpack her things. After all, this birthday weekend is about her." Jack finished as he smiled and nodded while Miley grinned at the comment her brother made.

Oliver and Lily slightly laughed at the comment. "Oh please, like she has anything to unpack. After all, she hasn't been wearing many clothes recently." Lilly commented making Oliver laugh and Miley feel insulted and send her two friends/ex-friends a hurt look.

"That may be true. But I think she'd still want to unpack." Jackson finished as he rolled his eyes at the two friends.

They laughed again and instantly Jackson, Lilly and Oliver all began to get into an argument about what Miley wanted to do when she arrived. Finally; Mr. Stewart got annoyed and interrupted them. "Oh, Sweet Nibletts! Why don't ya'll just flip a coin to see who gets to do what with Miley first." Mr. Stewart finished as he sighed.

"Hey; that's actually a good idea!" Oliver stated as he turned to his half-brother Boomer who had been watching the argument with confusion the whole time. "Hey Boom; you got a coin we can burrow!?" Oliver questioned with hope as he eyed his brother. Somehow; neither one of them still hadn't noticed Miley standing behind Mr. Stewart and Jackson.

Boomer shook his head, "Sorry bro; don't have one." Boomer replied as Oliver frowned slightly. "Lilly might have one though. Do you have a coin by chance Lily?" Boomer asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Sorry; the only coins on me are with Josh. Sadly; he and Yolanda are exploring the ship. They said they'd meet up with us later." Lilly explained with a sigh/smile. Then, she turned to Jackson. "You wouldn't happen to have a coin would you Jackson?" Lily questioned as she, Boomer, Oliver and Mr. Stewart all turned to Jackson.

"Sorry; no coin." Jackson replied with a frown.

Finally; Miley sighed in slight annoyance. She reached into her back-pant pocket and pulled out a quarter. "I have a coin!" Miley called loudly making them all turn to face her.

"Thank you, Miles." Mr. Stewart stated he took the coin and everyone turned back to face one another.

Instantly; the group stood in a moment of silence for a moment all getting ready to use the coin to their liking. However; a sudden realization hit them before they said anything else.
As soon as the realization hit them, they all turned and face the birthday girl of the weekend. "MILEY!"
