Zack and Cody looked out the window of the airplane they were on. They were going to some Hawaiian island. Maddie and London were with them, but Carey couldn't come because of singing. And Maddie was old enough to baby-sit Zack and Cody for a couple of days.

There were some other people on the plane, too. Two girls, by the names of Miley and Lilly, and two boys, by the names of Oliver and Jackson.

The eight had had a brief meeting but didn't hit it off too much, although Zack secretly thought that Lily was cute and Cody secretly liked Miley. London had no feelings towards any of the other four that she had met, but had a tiny hunch that Maddie liked Jackson.

The eight had been on the plane for too many hours. The plane had made one stop, at the LAX airport in L.A., California. That was where Miley, Lilly, Oliver, and Jackson had boarded. It had been six hours since then.

Maddie had known that it should have only taken five hours. She checked her watch and knew it was taking too long. But, then again, it was a very old plane, and maybe it took it a slower time to reach destinations.

Either way, Maddie was worried. So she walked up to the pilot's cabin.

"Um…excuse me?" she said. The pilot nodded his head to show he was listening. "Shouldn't we be there yet?"

"Have you seen this airplane?" he asked. "It takes it longer to reach it's destination than the newer ones. Just sit back in your seat and let me take control."

Maddie nodded and turned around. But as soon as she did that, she heard the captain scream. She turned around and noticed he was having a heart attack

Zack had heard the scream and rushed in, followed by that other boy, Jackson. "What's going on?" Zack asked.

"I think the pilot's having a heart attack!" Maddie said. Zack rushed over. It wasn't him to tell if he really was having a heart attack, it was Cody. But Cody was now asleep in his chair. Zack pushed the pilot off of his seat and took control of the plane. That camp he had gone to about piloting an airplane was about to be useful.

Zack switched the switch on the plane that said Auto to Manual. He was now controlling the airplane.

"Is there anything I can help with, here?" Jackson asked.

"Yeah, sit in that chair over there!" Zack commanded. "Pull that lever only when I say to."

Jackson did as he was told.

"What about me?" Maddie asked.

"You go back and wake up Cody and anyone else who was sleeping. Tell them what happened. I can't speak now; I have to control this plane!"

Maddie did as she was told. It was scary, seeing the look on everyone's faces. Although London just looked utterly confused.

Cody ran up to Zack, followed by Miley, Lilly, and Oliver.

"Zack, what should I do?" Cody asked.

"The plane most likely has stored a blow up boat in the way back. Go get it, but don't blow it up yet." Zack commanded.

"What about us?" Miley asked as Cody rushed past them.

"Help Cody!" Zack said. The two girls left, leaving him in the pilot's cabin with Jackson at his side and the pilot on the floor, most likely dying.

Soon, Zack heard a huge BOOM. He heard that boy Oliver scream "The wing's on fire!" There was another loud BOOM and Zack figured that the engine had probably broken. Zack did some quick thinking and tried to find a place to land.

Zack couldn't see any trace of land, just ocean. So he brought the plane down a bit lower.

There! He saw a flash of green. It disappeared, but then reappeared again.

"Hold on tight!" he yelled back to everyone. Then, he turned back to look ahead of himself and yelled to Jackson "Pull the lever!"

Jackson pulled the lever and they landed with a tiny thump on the beach.

Zack turned the plane off and walked back, followed by Jackson.

"Are we dead?" London asked worriedly.

"Doesn't look like it," Lilly said. She had just walked back from the back of the plane.

"Everyone exit the plane!" Zack said. He opened the emergency door and everyone soon exited.

Once everyone was off the plane, Maddie hugged Zack. "You saved us!" she cried.

"Who would've thought?" Cody said. Zack glared at him.

"Who are you?" came a voice. Everyone turned around to see a group of kids about Maddie, London, and Jackson's age. One of them looked much younger, probably younger than Zack and Cody.

"Who are you?" Oliver asked.

The youngest one spoke up first. "I'm Lex. And that's Daley, my older sister." He motioned to the red head.

"I'm Nathan." The boy with the big poofy dark hair said.

"Taylor." The girl with the blonde hair said.

"Melissa." The girl with the black hair said.

"Eric." The boy with the blonde hair said.

"Jackson." Said the boy with dark hair. He looked like an outsider.

"Well, then, I'll introduce myself." Zack said. "I'm Zack, and that's my twin, Cody." He motioned to Cody.

"I'm Miley, and that's my older brother, Jackson." Miley said.

"I'm Lilly." Lilly said.

"Oliver." Oliver said.

"Maddie."

"London."

The two groups looked at each other.

"Is there a hotel here, because I could go for a massage." London said.

"No, this island is stranded." Melissa said. "We're stranded here as well.

"You mean there's no other life here?" Maddie asked.

"Well, there's a couple of animals, but not much." Daley said.

"How did you guys get here?" Eric asked.

"Well, the flight was taking a long time, so Maddie walked into the pilot's cabin," started Zack. "He said it was taking a long time because it was an older plane. Just as Maddie was about to leave, there was a scream and I rushed in to see the pilot having a heart attack. Jackson rushed in with me, also. I took control of the plane and Jackson helped. The wing caught fire and the engine bursted. This was the only island I could find that we could land safely on."

"That's sort of like our story," Lex said, "except that the pilot flew us down here. He's somewhere on this island, but we don't know where."

"Wow, that's a pretty scary thought." Oliver said.

"Come on, we'll bring you guys to our campsite." Nathan said. Nathan, Daley, Melissa, Taylor, Eric, Lex, and Jackson went. Maddie, London, Zack, Cody, Miley, Lilly, Oliver, and the other Jackson followed. Jackson caught up with Miley.

"That guy stole my name!" Jackson complained.

"So? There are many people named Jackson on this planet." Miley said.

"Like that guy at our school named Jackson!" Oliver brought up.

"Yeah, but man was he one ugly guy!" Lilly said.

"I thought he was a girl." Oliver said.

Finally, all fifteen of them arrived at the campsite. There was some fruit littered on the ground and some water bottles. There were two tents, probably the guys' tent and the girls' tent. There was a circle of rocks from where they probably started their fires.

Everyone sat down.

"Where are you guys from?" Taylor asked.

"We're from Boston." Cody said, indicating himself, Zack, Maddie, and London.

"We're from Malibu." Miley said, indicating herself, Lilly, Oliver, and Jackson.

"We're all from L.A." Daley said. Jackson gave a look that indicated as if he hated the place.

There was silence for a moment. Cody noticed the fruit on the floor.

"Do you guys cook?" he asked. The seven strangers shook their heads no. "I could make some meals for you, if you like. I brought some food to cook and some pots and pans."

"Really?" Taylor asked. "I didn't know guys cooked."

"Strange, isn't it?" Daley said sarcastically.

"Well, if you guys want, you can camp out with us on the beach." Nathan said.

"That's great! Thanks!" Maddie said.

"We have to camp?" London asked. "You mean, in a tent? Sleeping in a sleeping bag? With no room service?"

"We were never going to have room service," Maddie said. "We were planning on camping in Hawaii in tents and sleeping bags."

"We were?" London asked.

"You were the one that planned the whole thing out!"

"Whatever." London said. Maddie rolled her eyes and ran over to the plane to get the tents out. Miley's brother Jackson followed.
