Sorry it's taken me so long to update, I've had a pretty busy summer since the last time I updated. But now, I finally have time… hey, it's better than nothing! And thank you to the people out there that haven't given up hope on me, even though I probably brought that on myself… lol

Chapter 15 – A Weird Dream

"So," Alyson said after dropping Max off at her house, "How are things working out between you and Max?"

"They're great! I told her that I still loved her and she said she felt the same! I'm so happy, Aly!" he exclaimed, flashing them his excited, boyish grin.

Aly and AJ looked at each other happily, while Cody started pouting. "Oh, God… now what's wrong with you?" AJ asked, looking at him somewhat sympathetically and somewhat annoyingly.

"I wish I had a girlfriend…" he mumbled.

"Cody, Cody, Cody…" Zack said, patting him on the shoulder. "I feel your pain."

"You're not exactly helping," he said sarcastically to his brother.

"Relax! I wasn't done," he said. "I know how you feel. You just have to give it time, that's all."

"Zack, I've never had a girlfriend before."

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"Well, you have… it's just always seemed like it's so easy for you to get a girlfriend, and it's not for me."

"Don't feel that way. Do you have your eye on any babes right now?" he said.

"Well… there is this one girl…" he mumbled, just loud enough for Zack to hear him.

"What's her name? Do I know her?"

"I don't know for sure. I don't think you do. Her name is Melissa, she's in my social studies class."

"What's her last name?"

"I… I'm not sure… but she has beautiful brunette hair and blue eyes I could just kill for."

"Well… talk to her and get to know her, then ask her out. It's not that hard."

"Yeah, not hard for you," he said. "You've always been good with the ladies."

"And you're related to me, which makes you good with them too. You're my twin. You must have it in there somewhere."

"Yeah, I guess you're right!" Cody said, his eyes lighting up.

"…But I will ALWAYS be the master," Zack said, putting his feet up on the back of the seat and leaning back on it. Cody glared at him.

"Did you really have to ruin my moment of pride?"

"Hey, I'm your brother. It's what I do."

Cody looked out the window and rolled his eyes. 'I'll get him back someday,' he thought to himself.

That night, Zack dreamt that he and Max got married and went on a honeymoon to Hawaii. They danced, shared a room, and had loads of fun together. But then, his dream worsened. Cody had become hotter than Zack over the past few years, and he found out that Max was having an affair with his brother about two months after they were married. They divorced immediately and Max married Cody, and they moved to California and he never saw them again.

When he woke up, he jumped onto Cody's bed and started smacking him in the face, thinking that his dream had actually happened.

"What the… Zack, stop! What are you doing?" he yelled, pushing him off the bed and hiding under the covers.

"You stole Max from me! And you WISH you were hotter than me! I'm gonna kill you!"

"Zack… calm down… what are you talking about? Are you like… on crack or something? I have no idea what you're talking about!"

Zack blinked a few times and looked in the mirror. It was then that he realized that it had all been a dream. He looked at Cody and started walking towards him slowly, his arms outstretched.

"Zack… get away from me…" he said, taking shelter under his covers again.

"I'm sorry, buddy! I had a dream… and I thought it was real… I'm so sorry."

"Yeah… it's okay. Now go back to bed… you're starting to scare me."

Zack nodded and did as he was told. Within the course of five minutes, Cody had to put in his earplugs so that Zack's obnoxious snoring didn't wake him.
