A/N: Didn't expect me back so soon, did you? Ha. Well here I am, with an idea. After reading the story through and seeing all the positive reviews and attention the story has been getting, I've decided to develop more between Z&C. Thus, I've been planning a sequel. Hopefully, it's as big a hit as this story. Will be following soon!
Prologue: Abrupt Ends and New Beginnings
Summer was coming to a quick close for Zack and Cody. Though they had a lot of fun, they were reluctant to go back to their boring, old high school. Drew didn't exactly fancy them, either.
"Well, only 2 weeks to get as much 'summertime fun' in as we can. Anything else we could do?" Zack said, while surfing the web.
"Nothing I could think of. We've done everything we could possibly do. Beaches, amusement parks. I'm sure we've done everything we could." Cody said, flipping through TV channels. "What are you doing over there?" Cody walked up to the computer next to his love. "Cruises?" Zack looked at Cody excitedly.
"What do you think? You still have some money from your microscope money. Mom would probably allow us to do so. It's a 4 week cruise! One hundred per person!" Zack jumped in his seat.
"One problem. School starts in 2 weeks and the cruise isn't until next Friday." Zack's head hung from disappointment. "Well, we COULD just go to the park again until school starts."
"I'm sick of the park." Zack replied. "I wanna do something fun! Exciting! The most excitement I'll ever get from the park is whether a pigeon will poop on my right shoulder or left shoulder." Cody giggled at Zack's remark.
"Well we gotta do something. I'm not staying in the house the rest of the summer." Silence overtook them both. "Well I'm going to the park, anyway. Join me if you want." Zack just shook his head. Cody gave him a peck on the lips and left the house.
"Stupid park…" Zack said, his arms crossed. He looked at the door, then the computer screen. "Stupid cruise…" He sat in silence for a good five minutes, contemplating what he should do. Cody was at the park, and he was here. Left to do nothing. "Stupid summer…" Another five minutes passed. "Stupid park." Zack grabbed socks and shoes and put them on, running after Cody.
"Well…I'm quite surprised. That has to be the most fun I've ever had here." Zack said, pulling his soaked shirt, shoes, and socks off while walking out of the park.
"I forgot how much fun we had at these sprinklers when we were younger. Any reason why you're getting half naked in public?"
"I hate wet clothes." Zack replied with a smile. They both walked into the Tipton, to be met by Mosby.
"Boys! I have a proposition for you! How would you like….Zack why are you half naked in public?" Mosby said, confused.
"I hate wet clothes!"
"Anyway, I have an offer for you two. In an attempt to take education to the next level, Mr. Tipton has created a new schooling program. Seven Seas High!" Mosby said excitedly .
"Seven Seas High? What's that?" Cody said.
"Well, it's a normal High School program which takes place on the prestigious S.S. Tipton, the most popular cruise ship in these United States! Now you'd have to repeat 9th grade over again, but you'd be traveling all over the world! Paris, Africa, China, EVERYWHERE! It's something you should look into." The boys looked at each other in excitement.
"Let's do it! I've always wanted to go to France!" Cody clapped.
"Let's go talk to mom about it, Codes." They ran into the elevator, passing Esteban.
"Why was one of the little blonde peoples half naked?"
"He hates wet clothes." Mosby replied with a shrug.
"So? Can we go?" Cody said, holding Zack's hand.
"Well, boys. It's a big decision. I mean, you have so much here. Your park, your friends, not to mention your mother!" Carey said.
"That stuff isn't anything compared to going to France to learn!" Zack replied.
"Gee thanks. And I don't know. Going around the world all by yourselves. It's a big responsibility. And you guys are only 15 years old."
"C'MON mom! We'll be with a bunch of other kids from around the world! Not to mention, Mr. Mosby will be around at all times! It's a chance to learn more than we ever have!" Cody pleaded.
"Yea! And they even have a pool! And a spa!" Zack added.
"Well…I could use the free time for my singing. And it would be nice to have my own time…Why not? I guess you guys could go. But you HAVE to call me every day to tell me how you're doing! And you have to study HARD. And take a LOT of pictures for me!"
"WE WILL! THANK YOU MOM! YOU WONT REGRET IT! I PROMISE!" Zack said, hugging her tightly. Cody did the same, before running into their room to pack. "Seven Seas High! A cruse AND school at the same time! How fun!"
"Yea, especially since I'll be going with you." Cody kissed him passionately and hugged him. "I can't wait!" They quickly began packing everything in sight.
A/N: Look out for the next story, The Sea of Desire: A Twin Twisted Sequel. MANY more twists and turns to see there! Thanks again! :D
