Cody walked up to Zack with his new crutches.
"Oh, hey Cody. You're back. Max is coming in 15 minutes."
"Wow, okay. Is there anything I can do?"
"Well, I had a perfect idea of how she would come in before we surprise her. It happens to involve you..."
Zack told Cody how they could surprise Max, and Cody agreed to do it.
"Hey Zachary." London walked over to him.
"Hey London."
"Thanks for decorating the ballroom for my birthday party. It will be super fun!"
"Uh, London, I didn't -"
"But why does it say, 'We'll miss you, Max'? I think you should take that down."
"London, this is -"
"You should have it say, 'HAPPY 16TH BIRTHDAY LONDON! EVERYONE LOVES YOU!'"
"Actually, London -"
"And there should be pink decorations everywhere, not -"
"LONDON!"
"Yes?"
"This is not your birthday party. Heck, it's not even your birthday! You're turning 15 ½! Not 16! So can you either leave the room, or help?"
"Help? No, I can't do that. I have a hair appointment in 3 minutes. Well, tootles!"
"Oh, Gosh, this will take a couple more minutes..." Zack said, looking up at the light booth. "Yet, it is worth it for my best friend Max."
Maddie walked in the ballroom and stopped when she saw Kelsey. Kelsey saw Maddie and frowned. They walked towards each other until they came to the middle of the room.
"Kelsey..." Maddie said.
"Madeline..." Kelsey said.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be modeling near your precious home in New York?" Maddie asked, frowning.
"No, Madeline. I have finished with modeling for now. I have a new interest... and I will have him by the end of the night."
"And who is that?"
"Zack Martin."
