Chapter 11

Disclaimer: I do not own any Suite Life on Deck characters; I just own the plot and Travis, Daniel, Tiffany, Lily and their parents.

Hello again! So here is the chapter that a lot of you have been waiting for....*dramatic music*...you get to meet Jack Parker! So yeah most of this chapter is introducing him and stuff but I tried to add some Cody, Bailey and the rest of the gang too. Sorry this chapter is a day later then I promised it would be but to make up for it I made it even longer. I hope you enjoy it :)

Zack's point of view

I was walking down the hall to Lily's room, if the gang doesn't meet up for breakfast I always meet her before classes start. Once I got there I knocked on the door, after about 5 minutes I stood there trying to think of where she was.

"Zack? what are you doing?" I turned around to see Travis, Cody, Bailey and Woody all walking over to me. I kind of had to laugh at the sight in front of me, everyone had something that described themselves perfectly. Woody had a piece of toast in one hand and a smoothie in the other, Cody and Bailey were holding hands and had textbooks in their arms. Travis had his backpack but also had a football in his hand...why? I don't know but it showed how much he liked sports.

"Um I was coming to get Lily but I guess she isnt here." I said.

"Oh course she isn't here." Bailey said laughing a little bit. Everyone was giving me a strange look like I was missing something.

"Then were is she?" I asked.

"She's been up for hours, she had to say goodbye to her mom when we docked to drop her off his morning." Cody said. Oh now I felt like an idiot.

"Ah right." I looked around for a second. "Where's London?"

"She-" Travis was about to finish but he was cut off by London.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" She said walking down the hall. She had a compact mirror in her hand and was doing her make up while walking, not paying any attention to where she was going. I was impressed for awhile how she didn't run into anything or trip, then someone came out of their room and London walked in the door.

"Ooooo outch." I said as we all ran over to help her up.

"London are you alright?" Bailey asked.

"Yeah I'm fine." London said with a slightly confused expression on her face, but then again London had the expression a lot.

"Whah hime is ih?" Woody tried to asked with a mouth full of toast.

"It's 8" Travis said laughing at him.

"Lets go find Lily." Bailey said taking Cody's hand.

We walked up to the sky deck (I found out what part of the ship the smoothie bar was called :P ) and saw Lily talking to Mr. Moseby. Once she saw us she said something quick to Mr. Moseby and ran over to us.

"Hey guys!" She said with a huge smile on her face.

"Someones a little excited." I laughed kissing her cheek.

"I cant help it." She said jumping up and down.

"I cant wait to meet your dad Lily." Bailey told her.

"Yeah our mom's excited too." Cody added.

I looked down at Lily and she was all smiles. It was nice to see that after yesterday. I know how much her dad means to her and how excited she was to see him again.

"We should probably get to class." Cody said looking at his watch.

___________________Hours Later______________

It was 11:58, two more minutes and then school would be done for the day. Lily was sitting next to me so I was having trouble paying attention to Miss Tutweiller. Not for the reasons that your thinking, it was because I couldn't stop laughing at her. She was getting so impatient for school to end, not that I blamed her for wanting to see her dad but it was funny.

At the moment she was staring at the clock and figating with her hands. I laughed a little and she turned to look at me, when she realized that I was laughing at her she smiled and whispered for me to shut up.

When the bell finally rang Lily let out a little squeal, not very loud i'm pretty sure I was the only one who heard her. She shot out of her seat and grabbed my hand and practically dragged me out the door. Note to self, Lily is a lot stronger then I thought. Once we were out of the classroom she calmed down a little bit and stopped long enough so everyone else could catch up.

We all went down to the sky deck and sat down for awhile. Lily on the other hand was so excited she would stay still long enough to sit so she just stood there next to us.

"Lily?" We all turned to see Mr. Moseby walking towards us.

"Yeah?" She asked.

"Your father arrived an hour ago and is asking for you." He smiled.

"Ah! Where is he?" She asked.

"He's in the lobby." Mr. Moseby said before walking away to speak to one of the guests.

"Ah! You guys coming?" She asked turning to us.

We all got up and followed her up to the lobby. Once we got there I looked threw the small crowd of people trying to see if I could spot her dad. Lily stopped and looked around for a second until she found him.

"Dad!" She yelled running towards him.

A man turned around and smiled at her. Just like with her mom I could tell it was Lily's dad. He looked just as Lily described him so that helped too. He looked pretty good for being 45 years old, at first glance I would say he was 35-39. He had Lily's blue eyes and tan skin tone but he had black hair instead of Lily's brown. He was probably about 6 feet tall at least maybe a little more. The thing that surprised me the most was that he didn't look like a lawyer since he was dressed in jeans and a T-shirt but then again I suppose he wouldn't dress that way all the time.

"Lily!" He said picking her up and hugging he put her down they did this little handshake type thing. Lily had told me about that, she said they had done it ever since she was 6. She doesnt remember how they came up with it but she never forgets how its done. I was about to sugest that we leave, you know let them be alone but Lily started to lead her dad over to us.

"Dad this is Zack, Cody, Bailey, Travis, Woody and London." She said pointing everyone out.

"Its wonderful to meet you all." He said.

"Lily's told us a lot about you Mr. Parker." Bailey said.

"Oh all good I hope. "He laughed looking down at Lily. "Please call me Jack, makes me feel like an old man."

"Oh never dad." Lily laughed."Have you been to your room yet?"

"No not yet." He said.

"Ok well lets go there and we'll meet you guys later?" Lily asked.

"Yeah, once your done come meet us down at the cafe for lunch." I said.

"Yeah sure that sounds great." She smiled.

"Perfect, we'll see you all then." Jack said walking away with Lily.

"Well lets go find our parents so we can eat." Woody said. Yet again Woody is the first to think of food

"Alright." I laughed."Come on Cody lets go find mom, we'll see you guys in a few."

_____At the cafeteria_____

It wasn't hard finding mom, in fact it wasn't hard finding anyone's parents because they were all in the same place. They were in one of the entertainment rooms, the mom's doing karaoke and the dad's watching football on the TV. Once we got them down to the cafeteria Lily and her dad were already there. We all went introducing Jack to everyone, I had only known him for about 10 minutes but he seamed cool. We all got our food at sat down to eat.

"So Lily, how was you mother when she was here?" Jack asked hesitating.

"Dad." Lily said staring at him. "It's mom, how do you think it when?"

"Oo how bad was it?" He asked laughing a little.

"She brought the tiara." Lily said

"Ah, never a good thing." Jack said.

"There was some fighting.." Lily said. Jack look at her with a curious expression. "But the her two days ended on good note with girlie stuff that she loves so much."

Jack laughed and then looked at us."Did you have the wonderful pleasure of meeting Jessica?" He said sarcastically.

Mostly everyone just laughed. "Yeah she's....intersting." I said trying to be nice.

"Oh that's Jessica for you." Jack laughed.

We all had a really fun lunch talking with Jack and getting to know him better. He wasn't anything like you would picture a lawyer, like boring and serious about everything. That was not Jack at all ! He loved to joke around and have fun. He loves playing football and baseball too. He didnt seam very strict, I could tell he was protective of Lily...I mean what dad wouldn't be of there daughter. Except for this brother and sisters who lived a ways away Lily was all he had....or so I thought.

"Lily before I forget your brother wanted me to give you this." Jack said handing Lily a small box. This threw me a little, Lily never mentioned anything about a brother before. I looked over and everyone else and they all had the same confused expression on there faces. I shook my head, motioning them not to say anything about it now. I would talk to her about it later.

"Oh thanks dad, i'll call him later." She said putting the box into her bag.

We had been in the cafe for a little over an hour and people started to leave. Travis's dad had some work to get done while here, his mom wanted to go shopping and Travis and Daniel wanted to go swimming. Cody, Bailey and Deborah (Bailey's mom) were going to look at some of there class projects and assignments that they had done. Deborah seemed very impressed by Cody and they got along really well. Woody and his dad wanted to catch the end of the football game and his mom joined Travis's mom shopping. It was just Lily, my mom, Jack and I still in the cafe.

"Well this has been wonderful but I have to go check up on work." He said standing up. "It was a pleasure to meet you Zack and you Carey."

We said our goodbyes and then he left.

"Well I have to go meet Mr. Moseby, he wants to talk to me about something." She said then looked at me laughing slightly."Hopefully its not another bill for things you broke."

"I make no promises." I laughed.

"I'll see you two later." She laughed

"Bye Carey." Lily said.

"Later mom." I called as she walked out.

"Hey do you mind if we drop by my room for a second? I just want to drop my bag there."

"No problem, lets go."

We walked to her room, once we got there I thought this would be a good time to bring up her brother.

"Hey can I ask you a question?" I asked sitting down on her bed.

She turned around and looked at me with a soft smile. "Its about my brother isn't it?" Man she was good, I swear sometimes she could read my mind.

She walked over and sat next to me. "Yeah it is, why didn't you tell me you had a brother?" I wasn't mad, I was just curious.

"I don't know, its not that I was trying to hide it from you guys." She said with a confused expression. "I guess it just never really came up, I haven't seen my brother in about 6 months I guess I was a little upset about it so I didn't bring it up on my own."

"Don't worry about it, I understand."

"So your not mad?" She asked.

"No, no of course not." I said taking her hands. " I was just curious why you never mentioned him."

"I could tell you about him now if you like." She smiled.

"Sure." I liked hearing about Lily's family, the family she got along with anyways. She always got excited talking about them.

"Okay well my brothers name is Nathan and he's 26 year old." She started.

"Wow so there quite and age difference between you two." I said as she nodded. "Is he your step brother? or actual brother?"

"Nope actual brother, my parents had him right out of high school, my mom was 17 and my dad was 19."

"Wow wait a minute" I said realizing something. "You mom's 42?! She looked like she's 35. Actually both your parents look young for there age."

"Yeah well my mom's had a little work done." She laughed. "As for my dad he's always been that way, extremely fit and healthy so his age doesn't show much."

"I'll say, so continue. Do you and your brother get along?"

"Yeah were real close, but he work with my dad's company except he stays in New York were he lives and with us moving around I haven't seen him in awhile."

"Is he married?"

"No not yet, he usually focuses on his work. He dates here and there but he hasn't had anything serious."

"When was the last time you saw him?"

"6 months ago." Then she started laughing."We were in the process of moving, my dad had to pull me out of school early but thankfully it was only the last few weeks. So unfortunately the house we were moving into wasn't ready yet so my dad sent me to stay with Nathan. He still had so travel around for work while the house was getting done so I spent a month with Nathan. For the first week he felt really bad because he still had to work so I was left alone a lot. I told him I didn't mind but he told his boss the situation and he let Nathan have the two weeks that I was there off, it wasn't hard to convince his boss you know head of the companies son needing time to look after this sister."

"He sounds great."

"Yeah he is." She smiled. "So time for me to kick you butt at video games?"

"Yes and time for me to beat you at pool." I laughed.

"I know, i know I suck at pool." She said as started to walk to the game room.

____Later in the game room____

Lily and I had been up here for about an hour and a half. She beat me at video games 4-2 and I had beat her at pool 2-0. I told her that if she lost the second game I would teach her some pool skills.

"Ok now try to line up the shot to you'll hit that blue ball." I said coaching her from across the table.

"Alright." She said. She took her shot but she hit the ball at the wrong angle so it went sideways.

"Ugh, this is hopeless." She said laughing slightly.

"No its not." I said walking over to her. "Here now it all about the angles. You just have to tighten your grip slightly to that the stick wont move once you've lined it up.

I walked up behind her and placed my hands were hers were on the stick so it would tighten her grip like I said. (An: Like what Zack did to help Bailey when they played pool in episode one. Back when she was still pretending to be a guy )

"Ready?" I asked.

"mmhmm." She answerd. She took the shot and it went right into one of the pockets.

"Hey it wor-" She said turning her head but stopped when she saw how close I was from leaning over to help her. I'm guessing she wasn't expecting me to be this close.

"What was that?" I laughed.

"I...uh....umm...it..it worked." She said

"I told you it would, great job." I smiled. Her face was only about three inches away from mine so as I leaned down it only took a second for our lips to meet.

After a few minutes I broke away for a second just to take the pool stick from her hands and set it on the table. We continued this for about 5-10 minutes when my back started to hurt a little from leaning over her and I noticed that she was standing in her tip toes, so I thought of a way to make this easier for both of us. Without breaking the kiss I put my arms around her waist and lifted her so she was sitting on the edge of the pool table. She laughed as I pulled away.

"Better?" I asked her

"Much." She said leaning into kiss again.

"Okay! You two really need to get a room." We turned around and saw Travis, Woody, Daniel, London, Bailey and Cody walking into the game room. I must admit they always walk in on us at the wrong times. This was probably worse time though I mean just look at us. Lily was sitting on the pool table, I was in front of her standing between her legs and we were making out.

"Ha-ha very funny." I laughed as Lily jumped down from the pool table.

Ok I know some of you must be thinking "Lily has a brother? Did you just want to add that in randomly?" Haha no, actually Lily was always suposed to have a brother but I forgot to make Lily mention him earlier :S So thats why my excuse for Lily not telling them before now is pretty lame. Sorry about that. Other than that I really love this chapter and I hope you guys like it to, only one way for me to find out and that's if you review :) Thanks!
