Chapter 50

Again, I don't own any of these characters

The two couples just stand there, staring at each other. To Cody and Bailey, its obvious that Zack and Cassie look exhausted. To Zack and Cassie, its evident by Cody's shirt that he had an adventure at the smoothie bar. Finally Zack smirks and speaks.

"Ummm, Cody...the whole point is to get the smoothies in the cups, not on the front of your shirt..."

Cody sighed. "Duly noted..."

Zack laughs. "I told you it would be harder than you thought. I guess I just make it look that easy."

Bailey can't help herself and snorts. "Kind of like how easy you made Yay Me! look?"

Zack frowns. "What are you talking about?"

"There was no way I was going to miss it. I mean, what else did I have to do? You kept saying it would be a piece of cake. Instead, I think its you with pie on your face. That was an unmitigated disaster..."

Cody turned to Bailey. "Yeah, what happened?"

Bailey shook her head. "I'm not sure what was more painful...playing the wrong intro three times or not knowing how to read the messages or having to drag poor Marcus onto the show because he forgot to get a guest or...forgetting to turn the cameras off when it was over."

Zack sighed. "Well, if Cody had given me the list of what to do..."

Cody interrupts him. "Why would I do that? You were so cocky about it, why would you need my help?"

"Well at least I know how to use a smoothie mixer..."

Cody nods. "You're right about that. You've used a webcam before and have watched episodes of Yay Me!. But, I've never used a smoothie mixer before, so I have no problem admitting I didn't know how to use it at first."

Bailey speaks up. "Speaking of problems at work..." She turns to Cassie. "You were rude to customers?"

Cassie sighs. "It wasn't my fault. This large woman came in and asked for a size 4. How was I supposed to know it was for her daughter?"

Bailey is exasperated. "Ever heard the expression 'the customer is always right'?"

Cassie smirks. "Maybe I would have if I hadn't had to run eight miles before I went in. I was dead on my feet!"

"I do that every day..."

"Yeah, well, this was a first for me...You both have insane workout routines!"

Cody begins to laugh. "Awww come on, Zack. Don't tell me my workout was too much for you too?"

Zack glared at his brother. "I got through it...most of it anyways..."

"Well, I wish you would have told me about your little hot tub stunt!"

Zack looked confused. "What hot tub stunt?"

Cody rolled his eyes. "Right, you put jello in the new hot tub, and Moseby gave me and Bailey detention because of it!"

"I didn't put jello in the hot tub. I've already done that..."

"Exactly how Moseby knew it was you!"

Zack paused. "But I didn't do it. Come on Cody, you know me. When have I ever done the same prank twice?"

"Hmmm, let me think...the stink bomb in Mr. Awkapenny's lab?"

"I had to do that though. I had to prove to my peeps that I was one of them again. But beyond that, even back to the Tipton, do you ever remember me pulling the same stunt twice?"

Cody paused to think. "Well...not off the top of my head..."

"See, it was a copycat prankster. I'm innocent!"

Bailey pauses. "Then why did Mr. Moseby assume it was you?"

Zack sighs. "He assumes me...and now Cassie by association...are guilty of anything that goes wrong. He's been doing that since the days of the Tipton. And let me think, who was my partner in crime then?"

Cody sighs. "Fine...I just thought you had outgrown pranks like I had..."

"Do you even know what my last prank was?"

Cody and Bailey shake their head. "No..."

"Does the word ipecac mean anything to you?"

"But that was almost a year ago..."

Zack sighs. "I know..."

Cody pauses. "So, since then, how many times has Moseby falsely accused you?"

Zack pauses to think. "136...no 137. He accused us of putting rotten cheese in the employee lounge last week."

Cody and Bailey just look back in shock. "Wow...we had no idea."

Zack shrugs. "I guess my reputation precedes me..."

Cody nods. "Well, tomorrow should go a lot smoother. No one is scheduled to work, so we won't have to deal with that again."

Everyone nods. Cassie finally speaks. "Please say tomorrow is the last day we have to do this..."

Everyone just looks at each other, all praying that she is right.

Bailey finally speaks. "Well, I guess we should call it a night..." She turns to Cody and forces herself not to hug him or kiss him. "Goodnight, Cody. I'm really going to miss you tonight..."

"So will I, Sweetie...I love you."

"I love you too..."

And with that, everyone made their goodbyes and filed into the two cabins. Woody was already in his bed and was confused why Cody was there too. But the twins just explained that Bailey thought she was coming down with something and didn't want to infect Cody. Woody shrugged and turned back to the comic book he was reading.

The next morning wasn't as awkward as the previous morning. No one was happy to not be in their bodies, but it wasn't the shock it was the day before. Everyone did the morning routines of the other person and decided to meet up for breakfast before they began their day.

Everyone went through the line and brought their trays out to a table. Zack was about to dig into his breakfast when Cody stopped him.

"Zack, what do you think you are doing?"

"Eating breakfast?"

Cody points to the tray with a large stack of chocolate chip pancakes smothered in butter and syrup, several slices of bacon and sausage and a large glass of chocolate milk. "You can't eat that! My body wouldn't know what do with it. You would completely throw my system out of whack!"

Zack sighed and then thought. A smile crossed his lips. "Alright, fine. But you have to eat it then or you'll throw my system out of whack..."

Cody swallowed and looked to Bailey for help. She just shrugged. "We did say we had to respect the wishes of the person who's body we were in..."

Cody sighed and pulled Zack's tray over to him. Then he paused and pushed his tray in front of Zack.

Zack looked at him. "What are you doing?"

"Well, if I have to eat this, you have to eat my normal breakfast..."

Zack looked down at the tray with an egg white omelet, half a grapefruit, bowl of high fiber bran flakes and glass of skim milk and grimaced. "This is going to be painful..."

Zack and Cody both trudge their way through their twin's breakfast. To Zack, it tasted so blah and tasteless. Plus, he remembered the last time he had taken so much fiber at once and didn't want the same thing to happen again. Cody, on the other hand, thought he could feel his or rather Zack's arteries clogging. He never ate anything this heavy for breakfast and could feel himself starting to become bloated.

When both finally finished, both of their girlfriends could tell that neither looked like they were feeling well.

"Cody, are you alright?"

Cody just looked at Bailey with a pained expression on his face and shook his head.

"What about you, Zack?"

Zack could already feel his stomach beginning to rumble. He shook his head no as well. Both tried to soothe their stomachs, but eventually, it was too much. Both jumped up and sprinted towards the men's room.
