Maddie and Travis's overtime work didn't have anything to do with candy. They were working as waiters for the Black and White Ball. They figured of course they'd be doing that job, considering butler uniforms usually contain the colors black and white.

"Man, this is worse than working the candy counter. Actually, the candy counter is heaven compared to this." commented Travis. Although, when he thought about it, the candy counter wasn't bad at all.

"I know. These people treat us with no respect." said Maddie. The guest had been treating them like dirt all night.

"Young lady. I asked for a double tequila, no salt. This is a martini." said a lady who looked like she was in her late 60.

"Lady. I'm sixteen. I don't know the difference and I don't know how to make it. So, take a chill pill." Said Maddie, sick and tired of people talking to her as if she were scum.

"Madame, I'll get you a double tequila, no salt if you'd really like one. I'll even make it personally" said Travis, bowing.

"Thank you, young man. I'll be sitting right over there." the lady said, then she walked off.

"You know how to make a tequila?" asked Maddie, totally amazed at what she'd just heard.

"Yeah. The woman who used to take care of us at the orphanage was an alcoholic. Each of us kids used to trade-off making drinks for her. Strange I know. But it was the only way she wouldn't beat us. I'll be right back." Travis then ran off to make the tequila.

"Ah Maddie. I've been looking everywhere for you." called Mr. Moseby. He sounded desperate. "Where's Travis?"

"He's in the kitchen making a tequila for this lady. Why? What's up?" asked Maddie.

"We need you to do a duet with Carey and Travis to play piano."

"Why, she's been doing great all night?"

"The song requested is for three people. The pianist has pneumonia and that's all he can play for the night . There's also no other singer. We need you and Travis to help please."

"OK. We'll do it."

"Do what?"

"I need you to play piano for Carey and Maddie's duet."

"Ok. That's cool."

"Great. Maddie go change into this. Travis, take off the bow." commanded Mr. Moseby, giving Maddie the dress.

"Yes, finally!" exclaimed Travis, happy to take off the bow. Travis then ran to the lady who asked for the tequila. He ran back to Maddie and together they ran to his suite.

Once at Travis's suite, Travis quickly grabbed his gloves (don't ask. It's for playing piano) and Maddie changed into the dress in his bathroom. When she came out, Travis's heart started to race and he started to sweat. Maddie's dress was black and shimmered. The dress tied behind her back and she seemed to be having a hard time tying it.

"Can you help me with this Travis?" Maddie asked.

"Uh, yeah. Sure." answered Travis, as he walked over to her. She lifted her hair, and to Travis's surprise, most of her back was showing. He couldn't believe Moseby would allow this.

"There. Finished." Said Travis finishing up. His sentence had become short and so had his breath.

"So, what do you think?" Maddie asked.

"You look radiant. Beautiful." Travis replied.

"Great. So we should go back down stairs."

"Yeah." Travis held out his hand so he could escort her downstairs. She gave him her hand and together they walked downstairs.

"Maddie you look gorgeous!" said Carey, spinning Maddie around.

"Yeah. She does, doesn't she?" Travis seemed hypnotized, until he realized what they were about to do. "So what are we playing?"

"Scales and Arpeggios. Travis you'll be doing Berlioz's part. Maddie and I will be doing Marie's part."

"You mean the song from the Aristocats. This shall be interesting." Travis said. They all laughed.

"The music's on the stand on the keyboard. Maddie you know the words, rights?"

"Yeah. I used to watch it all the time." said Maddie.

"Ladies and gentlemen. May I have your attention. I am proud to introduce Carey Martin, Maddie Fitzpatrick, and Travis- What's your last name?" asked Mr. Moseby. Travis looked at Carey.
"Don't use one." said Travis debonairly.

"And Travis." finished Mr. Moseby. Travis began to play the piano and then began to sing.

Ev'ry truly cultured music student knows
You must learn your scales
And your arpeggios
Bring the music ringing
From your chest
And not your nose
While you sing your scales
And your arpeggios

Maddie and Carey then, began to sing. As they did, people got up to dance.

If you're faithful
To your daily practicing
You will find your progress
Is encouraging

Zack and Cody walked in, both in tuxes. They looked respectable, but Travis was sure they were up to something. He then realized it was time for the trio to sing together.

Do mi so mi do mi so mi fa la
So it goes
While you sing your scales
And your arpeggios
Do mi so do
Maddie and Carey then finished the rest of the song, while Travis tried to keep a close eye on the twins.
Do mi so do do so mi do
Do mi so do do so mi do
Though at first it seems
As though it doesn't show
Like a tree, ability will
Bloom and grow

If you're smart
You'll learn by heart
What ev'ry artist knows:
While you sing your scales
And your arpeggios

The crowd applauded.

"Ladies and gents. We are about to take a five minute break. You guys may request songs if you like." said Travis. Travis then got up, but as soon as he stood up a man came up to him.

"Sir, I was wondering if you could sing O'Malley the Alley-Cat." requested the man. Travis raised his right eyebrow.

"Oh. You must be the guy who requested Scales and Arpeggios. No problem. I can sing it for you." replied Travis.

"Oh, thank you sir. You know, the Aristocats is my favorite movie." Said the man grabbing Travis's arm.

"I could tell. Excuse me, please." Travis walked up to Mr. Moseby.

"Mr. Moseby can you print the piano notes to O'Malley the Alley-Cat, please." Asked Travis.

"No problem." Replied Mr. Moseby. Travis then walked up to Maddie.

"Hey. You get any requests?" asked Travis.

"No. You?" asked Maddie.

"Yeah. A solo. I'm so nervous."

"What are you going to sing?"

"O'Malley the Alley-Cat."

"Wow. OK. Aristocat songs must be popular." Maddie chuckled.

"Here's the music sheet you asked for." said Mr. Moseby.

"Thank you Mr. Moseby. OK. Here I go." Travis walked up to the stage. "OK guys. Do you know O'Malley the Alley-Cat?" They nodded.

"We figured we'd have to play it." said the drummer.

"OK. Here we go. Hey folks. I'm back for the last song of the night. In which, we'll be singing O'Malley the Alley-Cat."

The band started to play. Travis was so nervous and then…

CRASH! Uh-Oh,Travis thought. He was afraid to look up, but he did. There were Zack and Cody. Fighting. Travis jumped up and ran to the twins. There was already a crowd watching. Travis pushed his way through. Then, he pulled Zack and Cody apart. He held Zack back and Maddie held Cody back.

"What's going on? You know what? Never mind. I'll talk to you about it later. The both of you go back to the suite."

"A'ight y'all. Party's over. Y'all ain't got to go home, but y'all got to get the heck outta here! Come on, now. Let's go." Travis exclaimed.

"Great. Another party ruined." said Mr. Moseby miserably.

"Once again, I'm so sorry, Mr. Moseby."

"It's OK. I just need to go and think." said Mr. Moseby. Then, he walked away.

Maddie and Travis went straight to the suite after the party.

"Well, that was fun." laughed Travis as he took off his gloves. Maddie was in the bathroom changing into her normal clothes. It was about 10 at night and the two teens were worn out.

"Definitely exciting. Especially, when Zack and Cody started to fight. Wonder what that was about?" said Maddie as she walked out the bathroom and Travis walked in.

"I don't know. We'll find out soon though." Travis said. He quickly changed. He then walked out and put a DVD in the player. Then, he sat on the couch and turned on the TV. Tomorrow at 3 in the afternoon, he'd be getting a DNA test. Maddie was in the kitchen calling her parents to see if it was alright if she could crash at the Tipton. Her parents thought she'd be staying with London when she was really staying with Travis. Before Travis knew it, she'd hung up the phone.

"My parents said I could stay at London's." said Maddie. She used air quotes around London. She walked over to the couch and laid down, her head on Travis's lap.

"Um, cool. So, shall we start the movie?" asked Travis.

"Yeah. Sure." answered Maddie. Travis started up the movie in which within an hour, both he and Maddie were sleeping.
