More weeks had past at Perkins Academy, and now the Winter Break was coming up. Maddie and London had plans to spend it at the Tipton and in of the hotels finest rooms available. Sure, Maddie was going to stop in and say hello to her family and exchange some gifts, but after the whole shipping her off to boarding school thing, she wasn't feeling the love. She would probably act all bratty saying how much she hated it. But that would be as far from the truth as it could possibly get. Maddie loved it at Perkins Academy. Everything was amazing. She could put up with London as a roommate, and Coco was becoming one of Maddie's best friends. Then there was Jake, her oh-so-loveable boyfriend.

Things were going great between Maddie and him. She was so happy, just truly happy. Maddie was worried about the transition between best friend and boyfriend, but it really was quite smooth. The chemistry was there from the beginning, they would've gone out from the beginning if Jake had been brave enough to make his move. But the past is the past. Now Maddie is focusing on the present, which is great. Life is actually pretty good.

"Hey! Maddie! Wake up!" London shouted shaking Maddie. The blonde girl groggily opened her eyes.

"We're about to land." London said. Maddie then remembered that they were on the plane on their way back to Boston. Maddie had to admit, she enjoyed flying on London's private jet, far more than driving in her own beat up car.

"Okay, everyone! Attention! When London and Maddie walk through the door, shout surprise and say welcome back London and Maddie. Got it?" Mr. Mosby said, addressing the staff.

"Wow, so hard." Zack said sarcastically.

"Oh, my God! There they are! There they are!" Carrie shouted pointing out the door.

"Alright everybody get ready." Mr. Mosby said in a whisper. The revolving doors started to open.

"Surprise! Welcome back London and Maddie!" everyone shouted. But it wasn't Maddie and London walking through the door. It was two elderly women. One with hair that was jet black, obviously dyed to hide the grays. She wore high heeled shoes and the most expensive clothes you could ever find. The old woman next to her had white hair, that could easily be mistaken for blonde hair.

"Why, I must say Maddie. This is what I call a welcoming service! Not like that junky hotel you stay at. What is it, the Hilton?" the old woman with the dark hair said.

"Yes, well, you are always right, aren't you London." the other woman, apparently named Maddie said sarcastically.

"Yes, I know. I'm brilliant. Yay me!" she said before clapping her hands.

"Hey! Wow, you guys look, so...different. It's amazing how much older you look after just a few months away. I mean, not just you, everyone. But not nearly as old as you. What happened?" Zack asked walking up to the two old women, apparently thinking that they were the real Maddie and London.

"I beg your pardon?" The old Maddie asked.

"Who are you?" asked old London.

"I'm Zack. Z-A-C-K." he said slowly. The two women looked utterly confused.

"You know, I live here. You babysat me. We had that whole crawling through the air ducts adventure. Is any of this ringing a bell?" Zack asked, but then he felt a tap on his shoulder. He looked behind him and saw standing there the real, young looking London and Maddie.

"London! Maddie!" he said hugging them. "It's a miracle! A Christmas miracle!"

Then everyone else in the room, who were all too occupied with Zack making a fool of himself to notice the entrance of their guests of honor, finally shouted "Surprise!" and "Welcome Back!"

"Ah, it's so good to see you all!" Maddie said giving everyone a big hug.

"Seriously? How can you be 80 and 17 at the same time?" Zack asked. Everyone else just continued to swarm around Maddie and London and ignored him.

"It's not right! You can't be two ages at once. I need an answer!" Zack shouted.

"Oh, I've missed you Zack." Maddie said giving him a big hug. Life at Perkins was great, but it was good to be home.
