New News: I changed my pen name to Duke100. Remember that! Below is the next chapter! Sorry for the lateness-ness.

Raven's Plan

"You guys too!"

"Yeah, I can't believe it."

"Me neither. This is crazy!"

"I know!"

In the Diffy suite, Phil, Pim, Raven, Cody, Chelsea, Keely, and Maddie were discussing the pranks of Cory and Zack.

"I always knew my brother was a disturbed person," said Cody, "but I didn't know he was that crazy!"

"If I get one more water balloon on my head, someone isn't getting out of this hotel alive! I'll grind them, then I'll pulverize them, then I'll stomp on them, and then…and then…" Pim said finishing her statement. Everyone just looked at her oddly.

"That was beautiful Sweet Thang. Please continue." Cody said stupidly. Pim moved away from him yet again.

"Back to our problem, those two jokers aren't the only problem." Raven said.

"What do you mean, Rae?" Keely asked.

"Well, love." said Raven, "Everyone here is in love. Cody is in love with Pim, even though he knows he's utterly hopeless--"

"Hey!" Cody interrupted. "There's always hope!"

"Not in this case, Cody." Maddie told him. "You're hopeless. Go on, Raven."

"Well, everyone can see that Eddie is going crazy over London, but he won't say anything. We've got to help."

"Oh no." Chelsea and Phil said together.

"What's with the 'oh no'" Pim asked.

"I haven't known Raven very long," Phil began, "but from what I've seen, her plan will never work."

"Exactly." Chelsea added. "She comes up with these crazy plans because of her –"

"Chelsea!" Raven said stopping her. As soon as she said that, Raven got a dazed look on her face. Everyone looked at her and thought she was sick. But Chelsea knew what was going on. Raven was having a vision.

"It's going to work! I know it," Raven said suddenly.

"Okay. You just came from yelling at Chelsea," Keely said, "to looking like you were about to throw up, to screaming 'It will work'?"

"Yeah. How are you so sure that this plan is gonna work, Rae?" Cody asked.

"Let's just say that I have a good feeling about it."

"Now, I'm all for bringing love together." Maddie began, "but how will we?"

Raven got that I-have-got-another-one-of-my-brilliant-ideas look as she looked at her friends, who were confused, anxious, and even scared.

It was the following evening in London Tipton's suite when Maddie knocked on her door.

"What do you want, Candy Girl?" said London.

"London, I'm going to a—to a---movie! Yeah, a movie! Do you want to come with me?"

"No," said London quickly, closing her door.

"But London!" said Maddie. London opened the door again. "Why won't you come?"

"I'm simply too busy, Madeleine! Why, in 10 minutes, I must meet Felipe, my personal driver, so he can take me to the mall with Caroline, my personal shopper, to pick out the perfect clothes to Valerie, my personal dietitian's, dinner party at Robert, my personal host's, house in Connecticut next year!"

"Wait a minute. If the party's not until next year, why are you shopping now?" Maddie asked.

"Because I'm rich and shopping is fun, duh!" London replied, closing her door again.

Maddie felt discouraged and went back to the elevator to meet up with Keely. She knew she was in trouble. Raven gave Keely a dress she made personally to make sure her plan went off without a hitch. If Maddie were not to return with London, then….I can't even say it.

"Oh, hi Keely!" Maddie said. "How's the weather been lately?"

"Listen. I'm not getting my new pen pal in trouble with my new pen pal's best friend. So I'll help. But don't tell anyone."

"OK." Maddie said, as Keely led her to London's door, knocking on it.

"Candy Girl and….Candy Girl's friend, I said I'm not going with you."

"Okay, London. I just wanted to tell you that Maddie is going with me to a very tacky store."

"What about that movie?"

"We changed our minds. We are going to the worst store in town to buy the cheapest clothes without you. Probably something from the Thrift Shop. Let's go, Maddie."

Maddie and Keely didn't go two steps when London was at their feet.

"Please! Please! Don't do that to my friend! Take her to the old mall, or Catherine's, or even Wal-Mart! But please don't hurt my poor friend by taking her to the Thrift Shop! I'll do anything!"

"Okay then." Keely said. "Meet us in the Amour Café in 10 minutes."

"That café near the lobby? Sure!" said a relieved London.

Maddie gave Keely a way-to-go look as the two girls smiled.

Meanwhile, Chelsea was not having as much luck with convincing Eddie.

"Come on, Eddie! If you don't go, I'll be bored!"

"Well, too bad. I'm not going to a play about why people shouldn't eat cows!"

"But it's only in the auditorium at the hotel!" Chelsea insisted. "It's not like you have to go anywhere!"

"That's too bad Chelsea. I'm not moving an inch!" Eddie pouted while plopping on the couch. A downcast Chelsea left the suite towards the elevator, when she ran into Raven's accomplice, Keely.

"Oh, hi Keely! I- I wasn't giving up! I was just taking a break—"

"Calm down." Keely said. "Listen, I'm not getting my new pen pal in trouble with her best friend, so I'll help you."

Keely and Chelsea went back to the suite and Keely did the talking to an unconvincing Eddie.

"So Eddie," she began, "Chelsea says that you won't go with her to the modeling show."

"No, I said I wouldn't go with her to the play." said Eddie, standing up.

"Chelsea, you must have mixed it up!" Keely said. "Eddie, we're going to a modeling show. One of my friends will be wearing a new bikini, and I thought you'd like to come, but if you don't, we'll be out of your way!"

The girls began to walk out, with Eddie right behind him.

"Now, ladies. Let me at least escort you!"

"Of course you can. But we must be meeting some friends at the Amour Café." Chelsea said.

"I'd love to take you." he replied as they walked out.

As Chelsea gave Keely a way-to-go look, Keely was having her own thoughts:

If only I could use my skills to win over Phil.

Coming up in the Next Chapter: Someone will say "This is the absolute worst evening ever!"

Thanks for the great reviews everyone!
