A/N: Alright everyone. This is my first series fic on this log. I won't start another series until I am finished with this one because I am not a good multi-tasker. And for the record, Zack's dad will not be portrayed as a horrible villain.

---Chapter 1---You'll be Staying With---

"Oh thank you Marina. It's very nice of you to let him stay with you for the next two weeks. Yes, they both should enjoy it. I'll bring him over around 5 tonight. Alright. Thanks once again."

Mrs. Mooneyham hung up the phone and walked into her and her husband's bedroom. Mr. Mooneyham was putting his clothes in a large suitcase.

"So what did Marina say?" he asked, not looking up from his packing.

"She said okay. Zack will be spending the next two weeks there."

"That was nice of her, especially on such short notice."

"Yeah."

After they finished packing, Mr. and Mrs. Mooneyham told Zack about where he'd be "living" for the next two weeks.

"You're not serious are you?" The fourteen-year-old asked.

"Yep," his mother smiled.

"This is so awesome!"

"I thought you'd be happy about it," his mother told him.

"But no funny business," Mr. Mooneyham said seriously.

"Huh?"

"You know what I mean."

Zack rolled his eyes with a smile.

"I'm taking you over at 5." Mrs. Mooneyham looked at her watch. "That gives you half an hour to pack. It's two weeks, remember."

Zack ran up to his room and emptied out his black backpack. It was slightly tattered but it was reliable. He dug through the clothes on his floor to find his favorite Hendrix hoodie. Finally it revealed itself under a pair of his dirty jeans. He threw it on his bed. Then, Zack chose 14 various outfits too, one for each day. Zack also stuffed in two bathing suits since he knew there would be a pool. He grabbed two pairs of flannel PJ pants and two large t-shirts. They'd serve as his PJs for the next two weeks.

Zack went into his bathroom and grabbed his toothbrush, Axe, soap, and toothpaste. He stuffed them into various pockets of his backpack too.

He looked around his room, feeling he had forgotten something. It was something important that he needed.

Then he spotted it. He took his black Gibson X-Plorer and set it delicately in its case. It was Zack's most prized of his 3 guitars.

Zack glanced at his clock. "I've got 10 minutes."

He took his guitar out of its case and began to play the School of Rock song.

When his mother called him, he found himself singing.

"COMING!" he shouted down the stairs. He put his guitar in the black case.

Zack put on his Hendrix hoodie and Zack grabbed his black backpack, which was now stuffed to the point of breaking with clothing, and picked up his case and headed down the stairs.

"Do you have everything?" his father asked.

"Yeah."

"Do you have your toothbrush, clean underwear, a-"

Before his mom could continue, Zack interrupted her. "Yes! I have everything that I'll need."

After saying that, Zack remembered something. He dropped his backpack, and set his guitar case against the wall. He rushed up the stairs and returned with a black notebook with the SoR logo on the front in his hands.

"Forgot it," he said with a smile.

"See? And we were making sure you wouldn't."

"I know."

"I'll be back soon so we can leave for the airport!" Mrs. Mooneyham said as she followed Zack outside.

"Okay," Mr. Mooneyham responded.

They got into Mrs. Mooneyham's Black Escalade and headed off.

"So, are you excited?"

"Yeah. Thanks for going to them first, Mom."

"What? We asked them to let you stay after we asked your Aunt Margie," she joked.

"Aunt Margie? The woman has 14 cats and her house smells like shit."

"Zack. Watch your language. She said she was going to a week long Bingo tournament in Las Vegas."

"Typical," Zack said with a laugh, picturing his Aunt at Las Vegas.

"Alright we're here," his mom said as she stopped the car.

Mrs. Mooneyham got out of the car and headed to the door. Zack followed. She rang the doorbell and a familiar face greeted them.

"Hello, Rachel!" Mrs. Brown said, ushering them in.

"Hi Mariana."

"It's nice to see you again Zackary."

"Thanks, same here," Zack said politely.

"Hey Zack!" Katie said happily as she walked down the stairs.

"Katie, honey, Zack will be staying here for the next two weeks. Would you take him up to the guest room?"

"Sure mom."

Katie and Zack headed up the stairs as Mrs. Mooneyham and Mrs. Brown started to talk.

A/N: I hoped you liked this chapter. It was rather short, I know. I'll be publishing the next one tomorrow. And since it's summer, I have plenty of time to write. I suppose a chapter a day or every other day. I don't know.

Review please! Flames will have water thrown on them so don't waste the time to write one!
