Disclaimer: I do not own the Suite Life of Zack and Cody. That would be so cool though, wouldn't it?
Recap: Max won the jump, passed to Cody, who shot it in the basket, praying the ball would go in. Swish! In it went! The buzzer went off once again, this time sounding the end of the game. Gabby bounded onto the court, giving Zack a quick squeeze before she did. She gave her sister and Max hugs, then headed over to Cody and kissed him on the cheek.
"Great job Cody!" Gabby congratulated him breathlessly; not really registering what she had just done bounded over to Arwin, congratulated him and started doing cartwheels around the gym.
"So, Cody, what's up with you and Gabby?" Zack asked his brother, smirking.
"Nothing! Nothing at all, we're just friends!"
"Right, then what was that kiss over there?"
"Nothing," Kaylee cut in. "Gabby's just like that. She gets over-excited about stuff. Especially winning games. She's, like, meant to be a cheerleader."
"And she's naturally affectionate." Bethany heard their conversation and just had to add her two cents. "That was a friendly peck, not a romantic kiss."
"What 'cha talkin' about?" Gabby had come in, her face red from all the running. "God, she looks-no, Cody, she's just a friend, stop thinking like that," Cody thought.
"Nothing."
"Okay…" Gabby said suspiciously. Carey then came up to them.
"There's going to be a party to celebrate the game at my house. Do you just want me to take Gabby and Kaylee with me?" She asked Bethany.
"Yeah, that would be great."
"Come on, Kaylee, Maxie. We have to go change and stuff." Gabby reminded them. The three girls walked to the locker room to shower and change.
"You like her, you like her, you like her!" Zack started teasing Cody.
"No I don't; we're just friends, okay!" Cody said in a very, very, very angry voice. Then the boys headed to the lockers to change.
In the Girls' Locker Room
"So…Gabby. What was that all about?" Max asked slyly.
"What was what?" Gabby replied all the more innocently.
"That kiss, retard. You like Cody, you like Cody!" Kaylee teased her.
"We're just friends, okay?"
"Gabby, girl, I hate to tell you this, but as a sister; I will. No girl and boy "friendship" stays a "friendship" for very long."
"Shut up, Kaylee!"
In the Car…
"Where are those girls?" Cody asked his mother.
"Still primping."
"Wait. Hold the phone. Max primps?"
"Yeah, Zack, all girls primp. It's a natural instinct." Then Carey saw Gabby, Kaylee, and Max come out of the building, jabbering all the way. "I think it's good that Max has some girl friends to help her out of her shell." Gabby opened the car door, and the girls climbed in. There were only two seats left in the car, so Kaylee got to sit on Zack's lap and they made out the entire way home.
"Mr. Moseby! We won the game! Cody scored the winning basket!" Gabby shouted as soon as they got in the building. The kids raced to the elevator, Zack won, Max came in second, Cody in third, Gabby in forth, and Kaylee came last. "Whatever." She mumbled. Zack gave her a quick kiss as they got out of the elevator.
Gabby quickly ran into her family's suite to get CDs. She got them and ran into the Martin's suite. "I got CDs!"
"What CDs?"
"Michelle Branch, Aly & AJ, Kelly Clarkson, JoJo,"
"I own Kelly and JoJo."
"Whatever. Anyway. JoJo, Rascal Flatts, Jessica Andrews, Carrie Underwood,"
"Basically all the major country artists." Her sister cut in once again.
"Shut up. Are you making fun of my music tastes?"
"Just a little." Gabby stuck her tongue out at Kaylee.
There was a knock on the door. A girl about thirteen stood there with shoulder-length blonde hair, blue eyes, standing at a medium height. "No way," Gabby said under her breath. Kaylee screamed and ran toward the door.
"Kaitlyn!"
"Kaylee!"
The girls hugged each other tightly, screaming. All the boys covered their ears, all the girls were used to it.
"Why aren't you in Cali?"
"My mum got a job here! She's the head chef!"
"Sweet! Everybody," Her voice got louder and she turned Kaitlyn toward the crowd. "This is my best friend from California, Kaitlyn."
