The next morning, Maddie and London were standing in the lobby talking about guys, as usual, when Stephanie came down for work.

"Hey, Maddie. I have a date tonight. Can you take over my shift?" Stephanie asked, hoping she would agree again.

"What? No. I took over your shift last night so you could go over to Zack and Cody's suite." Maddie answered.

"So what. I have a date with…"

"Can we turn this into some thing about me?" London interrupted. "This conversation about…well…you two is very boring."

Maddie just rolled her eyes. "Look Steph, you are canceling your date with whoever then because I'm not taking over your shift."

Stephanie was going to blow. Her first date with Zack and Maddie was going to get in the way? "Don't make me come over there…and…give you a big hug because I haven't seen you in so long…" Stephanie quickly changed the subject since they both agreed not to fight and Mr. Moseby was walking by.

Maddie sighed. "Alright fine. I'll take it over tonight. But tomorrow, you're working my shift."

Stephanie was pleased she got her way. "Yes! Thank you!" She gave her sister a hug. "Now I have to go find something to wear for tonight."

"Don't bother." London but in. "If you have Maddie's sense of style, you'll never find anything nice."

Maddie just looked at London.

"Well, do you have anything I can wear?" Stephanie asked all innocently.

"Please, do I London…" London paused.

"Tipton…" Maddie finished.

"Oh. Right…do I London Tipton ever have nothing to wear?" London finished her sentence.

"So you're saying you'll lend me something?" Stephanie smiled.

"Psh. No." London said as she walked away.

"So, Steph, where you guys going?" Maddie asked as if nothing happened.

"To the restaurant in the Tipton." Stephanie answered.

"Why doesn't that surprise me?"

"What? Is there a reason that we're going there?"

"No. It's just Zack brings all his dates there."

"All? Like how many are we talking about?"

"I lost count. But he's been hitting on me since he first moved in here."

"Wait. Is he dating me to get closer to you?"

"I wouldn't say that. But I mean can you blame him? I am pretty hot."

"Yeah. I'll make a note of it." Stephanie said as she turned around to the elevator to go find Zack.

Once she got their suite, she knocked on the door. Carey answered.

"Oh, hi Carey." Stephanie said. "Is Zack and Cody here?"

"Yeah." Carey said holding a towel she had been folding before answering the door. "Zack! Cody! Stephanie's here!"

The boys came out of there room.

"Oh hi, Steph. You all set for our date?" Zack asked.

"Yeah. About that." Stephanie said. "I can't go out with you tonight."

"What?" Zack asked surprised. "Why not?"

"Um, I have another date tonight."

"Oh yeah. With who?" Zack knew she was lying.

"Um…with…" She answered hesitantly. "Cody…?"

"You Do?" They both asked surprised.

"Yeah. Uh, what do you say Cody?" Stephanie had a begging look on her face.

"I'd love to!" Cody said with a big smile on his face. "Do you want to go to the park across the street for now?"

"Sure." Stephanie said.

He grabbed her hand as they headed to the park.

Zack just there. He had no idea what just happened.

"I'm sorry to say, honey but you got what you deserved." Carey said finishing up the laundry.

"Oh yeah. And how is that?" Zack asked.

"Well, you made a date with a girl you had no interest in until your brother said something. Then you made a date with her knowing she'd say yes because she liked you and…"

"Okay. Mom. I get it. You don't have to make me feel worse." Zack said as he shut the door. "But the truth is, Mom, I really started to like her."

Carey went over and hugged Zack. "Well, the only thing you can do now is wait and see what happens."
