Changes, for Better or Worse

Summary: This is the sequel to "Girl of My Dreams". After the incident, Zack and Cody changed, Zack for the better, since he was a better person, and Mr. Moesby was a lot happier, and Cody, for worse, since he's been a lot quieter and darker, hiding everything from everyone, even Zack.

Chapter 1: The Aftermath

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

It was the first week Cody was out of the hospital, and he couldn't go to school yet, he needed some getting used to, to his new arms and legs. Slowly, he tried moving his legs, but he couldn't. Again and again, he tried, without anyone knowing that he was alone in the suite. And every time Carey would leave the suite, Cody was on the couch, but every time Carey came in, he'd fling himself onto the couch.

"Yeah, that's it, one by one." Cody told himself, as he was getting the hang of it.

All of a sudden, someone barged through the door, it was Zack.

"Hi Zack."

"So how're you doing?"

"I'm fine, but I still need some more practice. I'm almost there."

"Good for you, and uh, Cody?"

"What is it?"

"I brought along Max and Tapeworm, they really want to see you."

"Okay."

By that time, Zack rushed out of the suite, and went to the elevator. And Cody was still alone, practicing alone again.

Cody's POV:

"I hate it if they treat me too childlike, I'm not like some baby again, and I'm already learning, I wouldn't need as much help as I did on the first day. But this is nice, finally seeing Max and Tapeworm again. I wonder what they'll think of me. "

(End of POV)

While at the lobby, Zack saw Tapeworm and Max sitting on one of the couches.

"Max! Tapeworm!"

"Zack!" They said in unison. "How's Cody?" Tapeworm said to break the silence.

"I just don't know, he's been a lot more quiet ever since after the accident."

"Was there something else that happened to him at that time?" Max asked.

All of a sudden, Zack remembered something and unusually, he entered his sub-conscience, with what happened before the accident.

Zack's POV:

"The picnic, it was about 3 days before Kayla's departure, that's it!"

"Now, the question is, will you be telling Max and Tapeworm?"

"Who was that?"

"Here we go again."

"WHO ARE YOU?"

Zack was frantic, whatever was happening he couldn't explain, and he felt like he was going insane.

"Well, apparently," one answered, "We're part of you."

"What? I don't get it."

"This is your imagination, and sometimes, you and Cody have thought up of exactly the same things, before, and during the accident, until Cody got back to the Tipton, we were with him, and after, meaning right now, we're with you."

(End of POV)

"Zack! Zack? Zack!" Max was trying to get his attention.

"What? Who was that?" Zack asked confused.

"It was me, Zack, Max." Max said calmly, but looked confusingly on Zack.

"What was that all about, huh?" Tapeworm asked Zack.

"Nothing, don't mind me, it's okay. Let's go to our suite already."

"Fine." They said in unison.

"What was that all about?" Max muttered to Tapeworm.

"I guess we'll never find out."

While Zack was downstairs at the lobby with Max and Tapeworm, Cody still had his thoughts running elsewhere.
