Chapter 10: Valiance: Cody's Sacrifice (Part 1)

Disclaimer: I do not own 'Suite Life of Zack and Cody' or 'The Patronus Charm' from 'Harry Potter'.

------------------------------------

Later that day, Maddie, got out of the hospital, and Moesby gave her a day-off, since even after the hospital, you'll still need a day or two.

-Earlier the same day-

6:30 am

Cody awoke and saw Kayla, still lying on him, throughout the night. He couldn't get out of the couch, so he just daydreamed, while running his fingers through her hair, stroking continuously.

Cody's POV:

"Whatever happens, she's still so beautiful, awake or asleep, and she still is. Zack, he isn't trying to stop me anymore? The guy can have a conscience."

"A picnic, just like in my dream, the park, everything, yes!"

"I'm still talking to myself, aren't I?"

"Yup."

"Who was that?"

"You."

"But I'm talking here."

"And, it's also you who's answering."

"It doesn't make any sense."

"Do you think anything in your sub-conscience makes any sense?"

"He has a point"

"Who are you?"

"Who do you think?"

"Oh, never mind."

(End of POV)

Cody, just daydreaming, felt like he was going insane, but there is nothing wrong with talking to yourself, unless you say your thoughts to yourself out loud. Kayla suddenly shrugged, so Cody figured that she was going to wake up, he anticipate it, but she didn't wake up yet, he was about to greet her, but she was just making herself comfortable.

Meanwhile, Zack was alone in their room, and just woke up, he did their daily routine, wake up, brush teeth, take a shower, change, all of that stuff.

About half an hour after Cody woke up, Kayla woke up.

"Good morning."

"Good morning, hey, what time is it?"

"About, 7 am. Why?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to know the time, that's all."

"I should get ready now."

"Yeah, me too, meet you at the lobby."

"Around 8"

"Sure."

"Bye."

"Bye Cody."

Cody rushed to their suite, to find that when he opened the door,

"Dad!"

"Hi Cody."

Immediately, Cody gave Kurt a hug.

"Yeah, I know, it's nice to see you as well. But Cody, I'll be leaving in about an hour."

"What? Why?"

"Well, I had to baby-sit for you two, since Maddie was still in the hospital, and at such short notice. I just stayed for one night. Plus, you were in the Tipton, but not in your suite."

"Sorry dad, but I still have to go somewhere."

"Where?"

"I still have to meet someone at the lobby."

"Okay."

"Thanks dad, you did come anyways."

"Sure, no problem."

"Wait, dad,"

"Yeah?"

"How'd you get here on time, you do have a tour, right?"

"Yeah, but we aren't far from the Tipton, then your mother called, so."

"Alright."

With that, Cody rushed through the suite, their bedroom, get fresh clothes, bathroom, take a bath, brush teeth, eat breakfast, that kind of stuff, and again rushed to the elevator, until the lobby.

"Whoa, am I that fast?"

"Well, yeah."

"Here we go again."

"Just go away you two."

"Sure, fine, whatever."

He looked at the clock, it was only 20 minutes after 7, from the 5th to the 23rd and down to the lobby. (I know I've made a mistake regarding the floor, it really is in the 23rd) Cody didn't do anything, just sat on a chair and daydreamed, again.

Cody's POV:

In his mind, happy thoughts of having Kayla, what seemed as if the love of his life that he will stay together, thoughts happy enough to create a patronus.

Cody, in his mind, conjured his own patronus, which had to be an animal or something, he was in deep thought of how it would appear, but something did hit him, his patronus, could take the shape of, Zack. He has been with him all his life, and has defended Cody and helped him a lot, even if Cody gets pulled into trouble by Zack, he still stood up for him.

One thing he does know, he can never truly hate Zack.

"Finally, you've realized that-"

"I can never hate Zack."

"Yes."

"Why have I been so blind?"

"You looked too much on Zack's lollygagging instead of what he's done for you."

"Yeah, you're right, I have to tell him."

"That's why your chosen patronus is him, he's always been protecting you."

"That's from Harry Potter, isn't it?"

"Yeah, and the patronus charm protects the wizard, and a patronus varies from wizard to wizard.

"But I'm not a wizard, why do I have this patronus?"

"This is your sub-conscience, remember, your imagination."

"I get it, everything."

(End of POV)

"What? Who? Where?"

"Cody! Cody!"

"It was you."

"Yeah."

--------------------------------------------

"So what do we do now."

"I was thinking of having a picnic."

"Great, well plan everything, food, place, what else were bringing."

"Yeah, sure, but I wanted to bring someone else."

"Who? It's fine with me, but you're deciding."

"I wanted to bring along Maddie, and Zack."

"Who's Maddie?"

"She's a friend of ours, she works at the candy counter, and she was hospitalized two days ago, but she's out of the hospital now."

"Well, that's a relief. Wait, I thought your brother was against us?"

"I figure I shouldn't, I'd rather forgive the guy than still fighting with him."

"I wonder why you only figured this out just now."

"Huh?"

"Well, giving him a little time can calm his nerves, so it worked, and I figured you two would be back."

"Let's clear things up with your parents, my mom, and Mr. Moesby."

"Yeah, I'll deal with mom and dad."

"And I'll tell Maddie and Mr. Moesby, and our mom.'

"Let's go!"

Kayla went to the elevator, then Cody went to the front desk. Luckily everyone agreed, and Mr. Moesby called Maddie and told her about it. The only person that doesn't know is Zack.

days later –

The three of them were bringing their basket and Zack blindfolded, with Maddie not saying a word.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see Zack."

A while later, they reached the park, and lain down a big blanket.

"You can sit here Zack. And you can take that blindfold off your head already."

"What the!"

"Surprise!"

"We're having a picnic, since there are a lot of things happening so fast, lots of problems, so we decided to go out of the Tipton and just relax."

"This is nice."

They were eating brunch, and after eating, they just stayed in the park for an hour.

They separated into two pairs, Zack was with Maddie, and Cody was with Kayla.

(Cody and Kayla)

"So you're staying here for only 3 more days?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry Cody."

"I know, as much as possible I'm spending time with you, but it's dumb since there is a saying that 'if you truly love someone you have to let them go'."

"But you're sticking with me."

"I'll be spending a lot less time for the next three days."

(Maddie and Zack)

"Maddie?"

"Yeah Zack?"

"I want to say sorry but I can't."

"Yes you can, Zack. He's your brother, your twin, and you two know more about each other than anyone can, even your mom."

"That's true."

"Just go for it Zack, past is past, and Cody, I'm sure, is a lot better since you're not up to your schemes for them the past few days."

"Yeah, sure, how'd you know I wasn't trying to break them up?"

"I just know."

"Okay, fine."

The four of them met back in the picnic site, and packed up everything, while going back to the Tipton…

Zack was in the middle of the road, the walk sign was green but apparently, there was a car zooming through the road, it almost hit Zack but before it could, Cody ran and pushed him aside, leaving Cody basically crushed, and almost immediately, Maddie called for an ambulance. Zack just looked at Cody, seeming lifeless, in the middle of the road, like that because of him, Cody, taking Zack's place, and getting his by the car.

A/N: What will happen to Cody, review if you want him to live or die, but how everything turned out, it's not gonna be pretty. I just included the patronus, since my favorite book is the Prisoner of Azkaban, and it can be pretty useful at times. Plus, DramaQueen1991, I did you a favor, there will be a chapter 11, since this is a 2 part ending.
