I don't own the Suite Life on Deck.

Cody was walking around Kettle Corn trying to find Bailey. He was following her but then he lost her. He went into a shop where they sell snow globes.

"Hi," the peppy lady greeted him, "what can I do for you?"

"I just have a question," Cody asked her, "did a cute girl with brown-ish hair come to this store?"

"Yes she did," the lady told him, "where did she go?"

"I don't know," she told him, "but I think I saw go that way," she said as she pointed to the east.

"Thanks," Cody told her as he left and went to that direction. As he walked along a trail he saw two pathways. "Ugh which one is which?" he asked himself. "Now I wish Zack was here."

Well he had to pick a trail no matter where it led. He had to find Bailey and find out what was wrong with her. She hadn't been happy for the past three days since she found out that they were going to stay in Kettle Corn for two days. She misses her family he knew that but there was something in that puzzle that he just couldn't figure out.

"Why did you break up with her?" Cody scolded himself. He took the left pathway and walked until he came upon a house. He knocked on the door.

"Hello," an old woman greeted him.

"Hi," Cody greeted her back, "is Bailey here?"

"Who?" the lady asked.

"Bailey…Pickett," Cody told her.

"She doesn't live here," the woman told him, "why don't you come in? You look hungry," the woman said as he welcomed Cody inside her warm house.

"Thanks," Cody said as he looked around house. It was old-fashioned with a grandfather clock and old wallpaper and other old fashioned furniture.

"Sorry about my house," the woman said as she entered the living room carrying a plate of fresh homemade apple pie, "I haven't cleaned since my husband died."

"Sorry to hear that," Cody told her.

"Won't you sit down?" the woman asked him as he sat down and she handed him the pie. "I made it myself," she said as she sat down to the couch.

"Its really remarkable," Cody told her.

"The apples are fresh," the lady told him, "so who was this person again?"

"Bailey Pickett," Cody told her, "I came to look for her since we docked here for two days and I was following her but then I lost her."

The lady nodded as Cody was talking to her. "That name Bailey Pickett now sounds familiar. Wasn't she in a contest or something a few years ago when she was a little girl and was upset that she wasn't crowned."

"Yes," Cody said with excitement.

The woman looked around the room, "oh now I know. That poor girl."

"Why?" Cody asked her.

"If I told you then you are going to be sad," the woman told him.

"Why would I be sad?" Cody asked. What was she keeping from everyone Cody thought. "Please tell me."

"Oh no I couldn't," the lady told him, "she always came to visit me when my husband died and told me things that not even her parents know and she told me not to tell anybody."

"But do you know where she lives?" Cody asked her.

"At the left trail," the woman told him, "why?"

"Because I used to be her boyfriend," Cody told her.

"Oh what happened?"

"I really don't want to talk about it."

"I understand," the woman said, "she must've thought that she was finally safe being with you than that animal."

"What animal?" Cody asked her.

"She told me to keep that secret too."

"Alright," Cody said as he got up from the couch, "thanks again for the pie."

"You're welcome," the woman said happily, "please come and visit again."

Cody nodded as he left the house. He ran to go to the other trail. He had to find out what was wrong with Bailey and what that old woman was talking about and fast!
