11:21 P.M Near of small motor boat on the side of the ship
Cody was waiting by the boat astonished that Zack had missed his own deadline. While he was waiting, Bailey walked up to him shocked to see that he actually went, "I don't believe you're actually going to do this."
"Yeah," Cody replied, "why are you here?"
Bailey rolled her eyes, "I came here to see whether or not you would actually do it."
Cody couldn't argue with that, "Well, I have done worse."
"Like what," Bailey asked afraid of what the answer might be.
"Nothing," Cody said thinking about it, "though I'm sure Zack and I will do something worse by next month."
"Oh," Bailey responded chuckling, "that's good logic."
Cody smiled, "Yeah, it's too late in the evening for logic."
At that moment Zack entered the scene with a notebook of some kind, "I'm here."
"What took you," Cody asked frustrated.
"I had to get this," Zack held up the notebook, "it's the captain's schedule, and it says that the ship will leave at 3:00 in the afternoon tomorrow. So we have until then to get back on board. We just need to get back before 5:00 tomorrow morning and we're good."
Cody was amazed with how efficiently Zack had planned this out, "you know, if you would apply this much effort to school, you could get into Harvard."
"Why would I want to do that," Zack asked, "Harvard doesn't have a good basketball program."
"I'm here," London said as she got into the boat, "let's go."
"Zack," Cody said wondering why London was coming, "why is London in the boat?"
"I may have let it slip to here that we were going," Zack answered getting in the boat.
"Yeah," London said smiling, "I'm going to work on my tan on the beach."
"London," Cody was amazed with what she just said, "You can't get a suntan in the middle of the night."
"I know that silly," London replied laughing, "I'm going to get a 'moon' tan."
Cody just stared at London blankly for a little bit before deciding just to end the conversation and get in the boat. He got in and took a seat next to Zack opposite of London.
London turned to Bailey and asked, "Bailey, are you coming?"
"No," Bailey answered swiftly, "no I'm not getting involved with this."
"Come on Bailey," Zack said wanting Bailey to come, primarily so he can continue to tease her and Cody over the 'cuddling' thing.
Bailey shook her head, "You guys, I can get in to serious trouble."
"Are you going to tell on us if we go without you," Zack asked concerned.
"No," Bailey answered to Zack's relieve, though it did give him an idea.
"Well," Zack said manipulating Bailey, "Then you're going to get in trouble either for going and exploring the island, or just sitting here and not doing anything to stop us. Which would you prefer?"
Bailey didn't answer; she just got into the boat and sat down next to London, deciding that she couldn't argue with Zack's point. Zack, pleased with himself, to the remote control for the boat lowering system out of his pocket and said, "Alright, let's get going."
"Again," Cody said amazed with how Zack got Bailey to come along, "Lex Luthor."
Zack didn't directly say anything back to Cody; he just pressed the lower button on the remote and said to everyone, "Relax; just think of this as a 'three hour tour'."
"Oh the use of that specific line is very relaxing," Cody said as the boat was lowered.
