Chapter One
Zack Martin walked onto the pool deck and looked at the swarm of new guests playing in the water and sun- bathing. Spotting a lovely brunette lathering up sunscreen, he walked over and popped up behind her.
"You know…I like a lady that doesn't want skin cancer." Zack said. Casey raised her eyebrows at him. He was a small blond boy, around the age of ten. He had freckles, and looked oddly familiar.
"Aren't you a little young to be hitting on me?" She asked.
"Hey, I'm thirteen!" Zack cried out. He stripped off his shirt so he was left in his bathing trunks. He dove into the pool, and then winked at Casey. She rolled her eyes and looked at the sunscreen.
"50 SPF isn't good enough for you Case?" Asked Derek. Casey slammed her hand down on the plastic chair. Derek was such a tease- why did she agree on taking him and her sister and step- brother on a summer vacation trip. And why did that blond kid look so familiar?
Jack Adams was in the back lobby office. Darcy was beside him in a chair, clearly displeased. Mr. Moseby burst into the room with the young girl, London, with him.
"There he is! That's the one taking pictures of me when I'm sleeping!" London yelled at Jack, Darcy and Mr. Moseby. Darcy frowned.
"How would you possibly know?" She asked. London thought for a moment, but her face turned beet red when she turned to Jack. She wagged her finger.
"I want him out!" She shrieked.
"But…" Darcy tried to explain.
"No buts! Goodbye." London said, stalking out of the room.
"Oh Jack, you've really done it this time." Darcy grumbled, tugging on Jack's wrist and stomping out behind London.
Maddie Fitzpatrick walked into the lobby expecting chaos. But the only people in there were the knitting convention planners and Mr. Moseby. Sighing, she leant against the candy counter and watched the Boston city move outside the hotel. She had been off when the great swarm of guests came in. Teenagers, she was told. Candy lovers. Gossip gobblers. Boy, was she ticked off.
The elevator door clicked open. Somebody from the pool, Maddie thought. His hair was damp and he had a towel wrapped around his swimwear. He was headed toward the candy counter. Maddie forced herself not to blush. She smiled warmly.
"Hey, can I have two of those?" Derek asked. Maddie reached over and grabbed two chocolate bars.
"Here you go." She said. "Eight dollars."
"What! That's a rip off." Derek muttered.
"Pardon?" Asked Maddie.
"What's your name?" Derek asked. Maddie's eyes widened, but she tried to act natural. Flipping her hair, she gave him a third candy bar.
"My name is Maddie."
"So tomorrow night is the filming of the show?" Asked Nicole Bristow. Zoey nodded and pulled a brush through her light brown hair. Looking down at her outfit, she smiled. She was wearing a brand new yellow baby doll dress with white jeans underneath. She walked out of the room after Nicole and into the elevator where they saw Phil Diffy, his girlfriend Keely and his little sister Pim.
"I love your outfit!" Keely exclaimed to Zoey. Zoey smiled.
"Thanks." She said. The elevator stopped at the lobby and they all climbed out.
"OK…we're going to the restaurant." Zoey said. They ordered and smiled.
"This is great."
Raven Baxter flipped over her pillows and threw the sheets off the bed. Her dad walked into the room. She didn't notice. Her face was serious. As if almost about to burst into tears.
"Rae…what's going on?" He asked. Rae held up adoption papers and a note. In second grade writing Raven read:
I found these in your suitcase. Yeah right! Stop whatever your planning. I can do great on my own! Love Sydney.
"My God…" Victor muttered.
Kim Possible slipped her pajama's on and sighed. She was exhausted, and Ron was nowhere to be seen. She crawled under the covers and closed her eyes.
"Ron fizzle is in the grizzle!" Ron yelled, walking into the room.
"Total grizzle!" Rufus shouted in his high, quirky voice. Kim groaned.
"What's wrong KP?" Ron asked.
"Maybe just a cold. I'm tired." She said.
"Oh…" Ron said. He sat for a minute, and then looked over at the hotel phone.
"I'm calling Bueno Nacho." He grinned.
Pim Diffy was bored. She hadn't been allowed to bring any of the future gadgets into the hotel. Now, she was stuck in the lobby while Keely and Phil drank sparkling apple juice in the restaurant. She cupped her chin in her hands.
"Hey, what's that?" She asked herself. Peeking under a coffee table in the lobby Pim saw a gadget- a future gadget.
"Strange, I've never seen this one before." Pim said. Looking around for traces of Phil or Keely, Pim pocketed the gadget.
OK, I'm leading up to the bang, and a few cliffhangers are…hanging. Well, I am going to update soon---Madison
