Chapter 3- Drama, Drama, and more Drama

The next day, after everyone was settled, Derek surprisingly had gotten a dinner date with Maddie after they had talked for hours. Casey found out that Owen wanted to ask her out from Hannah and Maddie, Lizzie found out Cody liked her, and Lola liked Zack. (A/N: Okay, last chapter I said that Jesse and Maddie had a movie date with Trevor and Alex. I decided to skip all that. Let's just say Jesse was caught up in something.)

Maddie sat at the Candy Counter when she felt a hand on hers, snapping her out of her daydream. She instantly looked up and saw Derek. "Hey. What time are our reservations tonight, sweetie?" she asked him.

Derek smirked. "They're at 8 sharp. Plenty of time to go see the new movie, Babe Raider." He said hopefully. Earlier that morning, he'd asked Maddie out and to be his girlfriend.

"Derek, I'd never go see that movie, especially with my boyfriend!" Maddie said hitting him playfully in the arm. "What about Pirates of the Caribbean 2?" she asked him.

When Maddie hit him, Derek's mouth dropped open. "You did not just hit THE Derek Venturi did you?" he said jokingly as she nodded and briskly made her way over to the couch.

"Maybe I did, maybe I didn't." Maddie said giggling on the couch.

"That is something you're going to regret, Maddie dearest." Derek retorted as he jogged over to the couch and loomed over her, making her squeal.

"Derek, what are you doing?" Maddie asked cautiously. When he started tickling her, she squealed and giggled until she couldn't breathe. Somehow, Moseby couldn't hear them. Something she was happy for. "Stop! Derek! Stop!"

Derek, pretending to unable hear her pleas, kept on tickling her until it was obvious she couldn't breathe. "Okay. You got your wish." He said as he stopped tickling her. Instead, he took his right arm and placed it over her shoulders, pulling her closer.

Maddie smiled and caught her breath. "Yes, I did. Which means you get one." She said smirking up at him. Well, you can probably guess what happened after that.

Me: Whew. That took forever to write! Now… Gosh, I just got writer's block. Stupid school. Even though school doesn't start until next week, I'm already trying to write tons of things. This, two books, and poems. Anyway, none of our friends can visit, since they're sick. So, back to the story!

Carey woke the boys up so they could go to the skate park with Max and Tapeworm. "Boys, time to get up!" she called while she made them cereal.

Zack had a hard time waking up, but after a few punches from his surprisingly strong brother, he finally jolted awake and glared at his brother while getting dressed. "Coming mom!" he called as he threw his black Dickie's shorts on as well as his black and white Kiss shirt and black Vans.

When the twins walked out of their room, their mother greeted them by hugging them. "Boys, you do know that I'm going on tour tomorrow and you'll have the suite all to yourself, right?" she asked as they both started eating. Cody looked absolutely petrified and Zack was grinning mischievously.

Carey had to have noticed it, because she sighed and rolled her eyes. "But, I will have Maddie checking in about every two hours and then come tell you when you need to get to bed." She added. With a shake of her head, she took the boys' plates and put them in the sink before heading back to her room to finish packing.

Zack waited until she was gone before doing anything. "YES! Cody, can you believe that Mom is basically letting us stay in the suite by ourselves? She didn't even trust us enough last year to go the Amusement Park by ourselves!" he screamed loud enough to wake the entire hotel up.

Cody rolled his eyes. "Zack, mom is sending-" he was cut off by Maddie coming into the suite. He sighed and sat down on the TV, turning it to the Discovery Channel.

Maddie sighed and walked in, Derek right behind her. "Hey boys." she said smiling at the twins. She hugged them both as Derek stood and glared at Zack and Zack at Derek. Maddie found it quite enjoyable, actually. Two guys wanted her. She wanted one. What more could a girl want.

He had decided to go with Maddie. Why? He did not know. 'I can't believe that I, Derek Venturi am going to help baby-sit two, wild fifteen-year-old boys.' Derek thought to himself. Rolling his eyes, he followed her into the suite and glared at the twin that was standing up. Dylan? Ryan? Who cares what his name was. Certainly not Derek. "Zack. Cody." He said as Maddie wrapped an arm around his waist. Derek shot a smirk at Zack as the blonde stared at Maddie, shocked that she was going out with someone like him.

"Maddie? When did you start going out with Derek?" Cody asked, intrigued by the tension that was growing within every second Derek was in the room. He tilted his head to the side.

Zack glared at Derek and hugged Maddie back. When Cody asked the question that would've been asked by him, the blonde looked ready to pounce on the eighteen-year-old boy in front of him. Let alone, feeling all up on his girl like she was a dog. 'Please tell me I didn't just think that…' Zack thought to himself. "Yeah, when did you start going out with him?" he asked; a trace of hurt lingered on the question.

Maddie sighed and rolled her eyes. "This morning, if you must know." She said, clearly aggravated by the twins' sudden questions. "Why did Carey pick NOW to go on tour?" Sighing, she plopped down on the couch and changed the TV channel, ignoring the protests of Zack, Cody, and Derek. Shooting a glare at them, she narrowed her eyes and spoke in an icy tone. "Oh grow up!"

Dylan, Cole, and Michael: WE'RE BAAAAACCCK!

Ashley, Brenda, and other girls groan: Great….

Boys look at girls: What, you aren't happy to see us?

Girls: NO!

Ashley T: It was peaceful until you guys came….

Me: snicker point.

Ashley T: I LOVE my new attitude! Bring on the Sharpay!

Me: Okay…. Back to the story. Oh yeah, this part will feature Owen and ME! Yay! BTW, my name is gonna be Megan, so yea….

"No Maria, I can't. I've got a serious Dance Competition to go to tonight, and I can't miss it." A slim brunette walked into the Tipton, chatting on her cell phone. She was wearing a pink Abercrombie tank top, a Hollister denim micromini that showed off her long, slender tanned legs, and pink 1" strappy heels, showing her newly gotten French pedicure. Her hair was down and straightened, framing her tanned face. A pair of black Chanel sunglasses covered her chocolate brown eyes as she made her way to the welcome desk.

When she arrived, the matron, Mr. Moseby, opened his mouth to speak, but a finger silenced him easily. (A/N: No, it's not that finger. You know when you're doing something, and you don't want to be interrupted, you hold your index finger up? Yeah, that finger.) Rolling her eyes at the impatient man, she returned to her conversation with Maria. "Maria! I told you a thousand times! I can't make the Premiere today! Yes I know Orlando Bloom is going to be there. And Johnny Depp. And Ashton Kutcher." A sigh escaped her pink tinted lips as she gave in to her friend. "Fine I'll try to come. Listen, I'll call you when I get to my room at the Tipton. Then we can call JoJo and Sara to see if they want to go out later. Love ya chick." She hung up her phone and turned her attention to the man that was behind the welcome desk. "Reservation for Smith." It was hard to hide the tired, bored tone in her voice, though she successfully managed.

He handed her the room key and gave a forced, welcome smile. "Have a good stay here at the Tipton!" His false tone annoyed Megan Smith to death, so she rang the bell for a bellhop.

What she received, however, was a bellhop pushing two blonde twins on the cart. Mr. Moseby sent a glare at the boys before turning to Megan again. "I'm terribly sorry, Miss Smith. I'll get you a more… capable bellhop." He rambled on, but Megan tuned him out. The 14-year-old was more interested in one of the twins. When the man tapped her on the shoulder, she snapped back to reality and turned to face him. "Save it. I'll just have these two gentlemen carry my bags up to my room." She said smiling flirtatiously at the oldest looking one.

Zack noticed a pretty brunette looking at him and blushed. As Mr. Moseby rambled on and on about their behavior, the blonde couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Come on Mr. Moseby, we're sorry. And we'll be honored to carry this young lady's bags for her. Won't we Cody?" he asked his twin brother.

Cody, however, was too absorbed in another girl that walked in. She was slim brunette, wearing a blue Abercrombie tank top, a denim Hollister skirt that showed off her toned, tanned, slender legs, and blue strappy heels. Her hair, however, was down and wavy instead of straight, and her glasses where white Chanel.

"Hey Meg." The girl said. "So, what room are we?"

Megan smiled at her twin and handed her another key. "We're on the 23rd floor, room 2360." She responded. "Wow, love what you did to your hair. Even though you were in the cab with me. Wait, what took you so long?"

The twins' jaws dropped to the floor. There were more twins at the hotel? Zack was the first to regain his composure. "What a coincidence. We live on the 23rd floor too. And we live in the suite 2359. So we're like, neighbors." He said. Nudging Cody, he grinned at Megan again.

Cody finally shook himself back to normal. "I'm Cody, and that's my brother, Zack. Ditto what he said. Now, who are you?" he asked curiously.

The girls giggled slightly. Megan, or Sarah, spoke. "Well, I'm Megan, and this is my twin, Sarah Smith." Yep, it was definitely Sarah. They both had a southern accent, but Sarah's was easier to notice.

Zack smiled at Megan and picked up her bags. Cody followed his actions, but it was Sarah's that he picked up. "Come on. After we take your bags up, we'll show you around town." Zack offered. Mr. Moseby looked positively shocked. Maybe these girls would be better than I thought, he thought.

Megan smiled. "Sure. Just let us get changed into something more comfortable." She said while following Zack, Cody, and Sarah on the elevator.

Me: Okay, that was longer than I expected, so just to let you know, no, I don't have a sister named Sarah, no I don't have a nice tan body, and no, my last name is not Smith. So yeah. Anywho, my hands are tired and I know it's been forever since I last updated, so I hope you guys liked this update. Oh, I'm literally out of ideas thanks to school, so leave me any suggestions when you review!
