It took Bailey twenty minutes to navigate herself to her way to Cody and Woody's cabin. When she got to the door of the cabin, Bailey silently stood for a few moments to collect herself and take deep breathes to calm down. Bailey nervously tugs at her braided hair that Cody did for her earlier in the evening. Bailey smiled at the thought of how Cody wanted to braid her hair but then she thought that he just wanted an excuse to touch her hair. The brunette haired girl then remembered why she was at Cody and Woody's cabin and frowned. Bailey knocked on the door in hopes that Cody would answer it and would help her.
Back inside Cody and Woody's cabin, Cody was having a wonderful dream about his and Bailey's wedding. In the dream, Cody and Bailey were standing in front of each other on a hilltop, basking in the warm sunlight at sunset, surrounded by nature. Bailey's white wedding dress enhanced her natural beauty ever further as Cody happily and lovingly stared at his future wife. Bailey's dress had short sleeves that had a matching white beaded necklace with a seashell used as the main piece of the necklace. Cody was about to kiss his new wife when her heard a sound from outside his mind.
Knock. Knock, knock. Knock, knock, knock!
Cody opened his eye wide and groaned in annoyance that he was interrupted from his dream. Cody groggily got out his bed and stood up. Cody shuffled over to the door of the cabin.
Meanwhile with Bailey, she was knocking at the door. When Bailey was about to knock on the door one more time, she was greeted by a sleepy Cody who opened the door. When Cody had opened the door Bailey couldn't help but giggle at the sight of Cody as he was wearing a faded purple v neck shirt and rainbow boxers and his hair stuck up in every which way. Bailey noticed that Cody's rainbow boxers comprised of the colors of black, magenta, orange, yellow, red, and blue. Cody focused his vision on Bailey and was happy to see her. Cody didn't mind being interrupted from his dream by the one person he thinks of all the time. Cody was happy to his dream girl came to see him.
"Hi, Bailey", Cody sleepily and happily greeted.
"Hi, Cody. May I come in", Bailey responded with a question.
"Of course", Cody stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Bailey walked in the cabin, placed the flashlight upright on Cody's desk and walked over to Cody's bed. Cody closed the door behind Bailey and followed her to his bed. Bailey sat down and gave out a sad sigh and Cody nervously flattened his hair a little bit. Then Cody sat right next to Bailey on his bed and gave her a concerned look.
"Bailey, what's wrong", Cody asked.
Bailey turned her head towards Cody with fresh tears streaming down her cheeks. Cody was ever more concerned and was shocked to his Bailey Bunny crying. Cody concluded that something was really wrong that seriously affected his Bailey.
"I had a nightmare", Bailey sadly stated.
Cody leaned in close to Bailey and held her face in his hands. The dirty blonde haired boy used his thumbs to brush away the fresh and new tears that ran down Bailey's puffy yet youthful cheeks.
"What was in your nightmare", Cody asked while he scooted closer to Bailey.
Bailey sniffed and cleared her throat.
"It started out as a dream. You were visiting the farm over summer break. You and mom were cooking breakfast when I came down to greet you two and of course you and I gave each other a good morning kiss", Bailey stated.
"What happened next", Cody questioned.
"Well after breakfast the day went by pretty smoothly. I showed you the ropes around the farm and encouraged you to do some simple tasks. You redeemed yourself from last time and I was proud of you so I gave you a hug", Bailey continued.
Cody dropped his hands from the sides of Bailey's face and grasped her hands in his own. Bailey lightly squeezed Cody's hands for comfort. Cody looked at Bailey to indicate to her to continue her story.
"After a short while into our hug and you had let go….because you saw Moose. Once Moose came into the picture things basically went downhill from there", Bailey sobbed at the end.
Cody silently wrapped his arms around Bailey and brought her into his lap. Cody had just let Bailey sob into his chest as he stroked the back of her head with his right hand while his left held Bailey close.
"Ssh. Bailey, it's ok. Everything will be fine", Cody sweetly cooed.
Bailey lifted her head up from Cody's chest and looked into his eyes and gave him a brave smile.
"Now, Bailey, what happened next", Cody calmly asked.
Bailey adjusted herself in Cody's lap to get comfortable in his arms.
"Well, Moose was insulting you but you were defending yourself. While you and Moose were fighting, my mom yelled something about a twister. All of us went into the cellar except for you. Moose pushed you away and locked you out of the cellar. My family and I were stuck with Moose the monster for four long and terrible hours. When the storm was over, I went to search for you right away. I found you dead on my bed and…and I could barely stand the sight of how mangled your body was….", Bailey choked.
Bailey cried again in Cody's chest, staining his faded purple v neck shirt with fresh tears. Cody rocked Bailey's shaking body back and forth in hopes to calm her down.
"Is there anything else that you want to say", Cody kindly asked.
"In my mind, I felt like crying my eyes out and throw up at the same time. Your dead body didn't just have a simple wound anywhere, there was much more. It was gory and horrifying and I felt sick to my stomach. I lost you, Cody. I felt incomplete, lost and completely broken. I felt that absolutely no one could fix the damage that had been done. No one would be able to fill the gaping hole in my heart or fix my soul", Bailey softly sobbed, finishing her tale.
Cody continued to rock Bailey back and forth. Bailey took fistfuls of Cody's shirt and clutched on to the material of the shirt. Bailey continued to dampen Cody's shirt. Cody stroked Bailey's head again while still rocking her.
"Bailey, I'm so sorry that had such a horrifying nightmare. You can keep me up until you feel better. Actually, if you want, you can cuddle with me. You can stay with me so that nothing bad happens", Cody offered.
"No that's ok. I don't want to be the cause of you lacking sleep. Besides, wouldn't we get into trouble if someone caught me leaving your cabin in the morning", Bailey questioned with doubt.
"Then I'll come to your rescue and explain to them that you had a nightmare and needed comfort from me and so I made sure you were no longer scared. And if they don't belief me then that's their problem. You shouldn't have to be punished just for simply going to someone that you can trust to help you with your fear and to help you get better", Cody sternly stated.
"I don't care who they are, they not allowed to judge you if happen to walk back to your cabin in the morning. If you need to stay then you need to stay. It's not your fault that you had a nightmare", Cody added.
Bailey's tears subdued as she listened to Cody speak. Bailey had a small smile form on her lips. Bailey was so glad to have Cody back in her life. Bailey had tears come down from her eyes but they were happy tears. She looked up at Cody with a bigger smile on her face.
"Oh, Cody, you're so good to me. I don't want to lose you ever again. I love you", Bailey softly said.
Cody smiled at Bailey.
"I'm glad that I have you back in my life, Bails. I'm glad that you came to me for comfort. I love you, too, Bailey", Cody lovingly said.
Cody kissed Bailey on the forehead. Bailey smiled widened ever more. The farm girl then gave her city boy Eskimo kisses.
"Thank you for comforting me. It means the world to me", Bailey said.
"You're so welcome, my darling", Cody happily said.
Cody snuggled his nose against Bailey's neck and then gave a little peck on her skin.
"You're such a sweetheart, Cody", Bailey purred.
Cody lifted his head up from Bailey's neck and looked into her eyes. The couple made an internal connection by just staring into each other's eyes. Cody and Bailey both leaned in. Just a few centimeters apart, Cody cupped Bailey's cheeks in his hands and Bailey snaked her arms around Cody's neck. Bailey slid her fingers into Cody's dirty blonde locks before she and Cody closed the gap between their lips. After a few minutes Cody and Bailey parted from the kiss and just lovingly gazed into each other's enchanting eyes. Soon after, Cody had a thought swirling inside his brilliant head.
"Do you feel better now", Cody asked.
"I do feel a little bit better. Thanks for asking", Bailey replied.
"Well, I was thinking that you could use a distraction", Cody stated.
"What kind of distraction", Bailey questioned.
"I have an idea but I need you to trust me", Cody said.
"I trust you, sweetie. What's your idea", Bailey responded.
"I need you to come with me", Cody said.
Bailey had a confused expression etched on the features of her face. Cody held on to Bailey's right hand with his left hand and pulled her up with him from the bed. Cody walked up to his desk and took out his laptop, opened it up and sat down in his chair. Cody spun his chair around to face Bailey and patted his lap, inviting Bailey to sit on his lap. Bailey shyly nodded her head but nonetheless accepted Cody's invitation and sat down in his lap. Cody turned him and Bailey around in his chair to face the unfolded laptop. The screen requested a password. Cody leaned in to Bailey's right ear.
"Can you guest what my password is now", Cody asked in a whisper.
"It is Bailey", Bailey guessed.
"Close. Although that was my password when we were first dating", Cody smirked.
Bailey turned to Cody.
"I'm afraid to ask this but, what was your password during our break-up", Bailey nervously asked.
"It was: I miss and love Bailey", Cody honestly said.
Bailey was positively touched by Cody's sensitivity and sentiment and lightly pressed her right hand over her heart.
"Aww", Bailey softly responded.
Cody looped his arms around Bailey slim figure and began to press down on the keys, slowly typing so that Bailey could see his somewhat new password. Bailey followed Cody's fingers as they spelt out four words or names. Bailey blushed with a deep red running across her nose and cheeks when she figured out what the password was. The password was BaileyandCodyMartin. Bailey absolutely adored Cody's current password. But before Bailey could give Cody a kiss on the lips, Cody went to Firefox internet browser and was directed straight to Google search engine. Cody typed in William Shakespeare and got plentiful results when he clicked the link that said 'search'. It then dawned on Bailey what Cody had in mind for a distraction. Bailey smiled at how wonderful of a distraction Cody had given her because they could talk forever about William Shakespeare and his plays. Cody clicked on a link and had a list of all of William Shakespeare's plays that had links to themselves. Cody rested his chin on Bailey's right shoulder.
"Which play to want to read first", Cody asked.
Bailey carefully scanned the list of plays and she found one that she liked. Bailey pointed out the play that she wanted to read with Cody. Each play on the internet had summaries and spark notes.
"This one", Bailey informed while pointing at a play.
The play that Bailey had selected was Hamlet.
"You want to read Hamlet", Cody asked.
"Yes", Bailey answered.
"Ok then. We'll read Hamlet", Cody said.
Cody clicked on the link that took him and Bailey to Hamlet which was a tragedy of the Prince Hamlet of Denmark. When the web page for the play Hamlet popped up, Cody and Bailey read through the summary and spark notes. After they were done reading they discussed the play and went on with reading Romeo and Juliet.
After reading the tragic love story between star-crossed lovers, Cody and Bailey briefly shared a romantic kiss but forgot to discuss the play since they got carried away and in touch with their romantic sides for a while. After the brief make-out session, Cody and Bailey turned their attention back to the laptop and decided to read one more play. Both the city boy and the farm girl agreed on A Midsummer Night's Dream. Cody remembered something from his pre-teen years and thought it would cheer up Bailey even more.
"You know, Bailey, before Zack and I knew about Seven Seas High and even before we were in high school, he and I were in a school play for middle school. The play was A Midsummer Night's Dream. I played the part of Bottom", Cody said.
Bailey cracked a smile and started to laugh but quickly stifled her laughter as she was afraid of waking Woody up from his slumber. Bailey kept her laughter to a minimum.
"You played the part of Bottom in middle school", Bailey asked while giggling.
"Yes I did. I had to wear tights and a huge donkey head over my own head. By the end of the play, I was pretty embarrassed", Cody said.
"Oh I'm sure you would have looked adorable even with a donkey head on your head. If I was there then I would think that you looked cute", Bailey commented.
"If you were there then I would be distracted. I wouldn't be in the play worried to impress some other girl because I would just have eyes for you, Bails", Cody replied.
"You were in the play because of a girl", Bailey suspiciously asked with a hint of jealousy in her voice.
"Yeah but it's nothing to worry about. I was barely interested in girls back in middle school. I was more concerned about my grades", Cody defended.
Bailey thought about what Cody said and then put the pieces together but she still wanted to mess with.
"If you weren't that interested in girls then how come you would have been distracted by me if I was there", Bailey teasingly asked.
"That's easy. If I was distracted by you then I would have a great study partner and someone who can keep me on my toes while sharing plenty interests with me. You would be and still are different from other girls because not only are you smart, pretty and kind hearted, but you also have principals and take things seriously while still being able to have fun", Cody honestly answered.
Bailey had a huge smile on her face after Cody was completely done speaking.
"I'm so glad that you said that. I would say the same thing but I would also like to say to you, Cody, is that you are exactly the right type of guy that I could ever want or need in a man", Bailey replied.
It was then Cody's turn to have a huge smile on his face once Bailey was done talking.
"Well, anyways we should finish off reading with A Midsummer Night's Dream", Cody said.
"You're right. Afterwards I'll go back to my cabin", Bailey responded.
"No, you're not. If you're going back to your cabin then you'll have to allow me to escort you back", Cody declared.
"Ok, Cody", Bailey agreed.
Bailey and Cody turned their attention to A Midsummer Night's Dream and read the play. Once they were done reading, Cody and Bailey just sat for a little while in the desk chair. Bailey remembered the flashlight and grabbed it from the side of Cody's desk. Bailey turned her body in Cody's lap.
"Well, Cody, I think that I'm well enough to go back my cabin and sleep in my own bed. Thank you again for helping me. I just want you to know Cody that I'll be there for you just as you were there for me", Bailey said.
"I am allowed to take you back to your cabin", Cody asked in response.
Bailey could only smile at Cody's response.
"Of course you can. Besides, I'd rather have my knight in shining armor escort me back to my cabin", bailey lovingly whispered in Cody's right ear.
"Is that a reference to the KNIGHTs", Cody asked.
"Maybe", Bailey said.
Cody widely grinned and gave out a small laugh. He then grabbed Bailey by the waist and kissed her. Bailey was a little caught off guard but then totally melted into the kiss later.
"Come on, you silly girl, I'm taking you back to your cabin", Cody stated.
Bailey stuck her tongue at Cody to emphasize that she was, in fact, a silly girl.
"Yes, sir", Bailey teased.
Cody lightly bit Bailey on her left shoulder. Bailey drew back her tongue and stopped what she was doing. He drew back his teeth before Bailey could scream. Bailey looked down at Cody's lap and grinned at his rainbow boxers.
"I like your rainbow boxers. I like them better than your share bears boxers", Bailey happily commented.
"Stop being so silly or you'll influence me to be just as silly if not more goofy", Cody said with a mocking stern tone.
"Ok, Cody Kitten", Bailey purred like a cat.
"Thank you, Bailey Bunny", Cody responded while purposely scrunching his nose up like a bunny does.
Bailey giggled a little bit. After a few seconds of giggling, Bailey stopped and looked into Cody's eyes.
"You know what", Bailey asked.
"What", Cody asked in response.
Bailey looked over at Woody and Cody did the same thing.
"Woody sure is a heavy sleeper", Bailey said.
At the same time, Cody and Bailey both began to giggle on how Woody has not been disturbed at all by their ruckus in the cabin.
"He sure is a heavy sleeper", Cody happily agreed while trying to stop laughing.
Once Bailey and Cody's laughter settled down both of them got off the chair. Cody closed his laptop and had put it away. Cody then grabbed his own flashlight and turned it on. Bailey turned off her flashlight right after Cody turned on his own. Once the couple had light to help guide them back to the girls' dorm Cody and Bailey laced their fingers together and walked out the cabin. Cody led Bailey back to her and London's cabin safe and sound. Bailey opened the door and placed her flashlight on her desk. Bailey then turned back around to Cody.
"I'll see you later, sweetie", Bailey quietly yet lovingly said.
"See you in a few hours later, honey", Cody sweetly replied.
Bailey took a hold of Cody's left hand since his right one was holding the flashlight. She then stared into Cody's eyes. Cody stared back into Bailey's eyes.
"Rest well, my love", Cody said.
"Sleep well, my sweetheart", Bailey said.
Cody and Bailey simultaneously leaned in and shared an affectionate kiss on the lips that lasted for only five seconds. The couple then parted from their kiss. Cody gave Bailey one last smile for the late evening and she returned the favor. After the quick exchange of smiles Cody left the cabin. Bailey closed the door and returned to her bed. Bailey finally got have a pleasant dream once her head made contact with the pillow.
While Bailey went back to her bed, Cody walked back to his cabin. When he came back to the cabin he walked over to his bed and crawled under the sheets. The brilliant Boston boy then turned off his flashlight and set it down on the bedside table and huddled underneath the covers. Cody then had a blissful slumber as he was able to return to his dream about his and Bailey's wedding.
