"Travis!" Angie called.
"Yeah." Travis said. Angie was running down the hall, Darryl running by her.
"We have the perfect idea. We told Maddie and she likes it." Darryl said, gasping for air.
"OK. What is it? And Darryl, you're way outta shape." Travis said.
"OK. Maddie will tell her parents she's with me and you'll say you're with Darryl. We'll meet up at the park and you guys can do what ever you want. Of course we'll be with you just in case your parents call, but we'll give you your space." Angie said.
"Brilliant. Thanks you guys." Travis hugged Angie and did his handshake with Darryl. "When do we do it?"
"Saturday." Angie answered.
"OK. Cool. I'll see you guys later." Yes! He was going to get to see Maddie this weekend.
"Alright. I'll see ya later ma." Travis said. It was Saturday and he was going to go out with Maddie.
"Where are you going?" Carey asked.
"To Darryl's. We're gonna play video games and watch movies. I'll be back at about 6" Travis said. They had planned six so it would be less suspicious.
"OK. Have fun sweetheart. Make sure your phones on in case of an emergency." Carey said.
"Alright. Bye Cody. Bye Zack."
"Bye Travis." Cody said. Zack didn't answer. He hadn't spoken to Travis since the night they'd caught Travis kissing Maddie. Travis looked at Carey. His eyes said 'What do I do?'. Hers said 'I don't know'. Travis sighed and left for the parking lot. The valet brought his car. He hopped in and drove off toward the park.
He parked the car and got out. He walked toward the center of the park. When he got there, he sat on the bench and waited for Darryl, Angie, and Maddie. A few minutes later, he saw them headed his way. He got up and walked over to Maddie and hugged her. He didn't want to let her go. Not again.
"I missed you so much." Travis whispered in her ear. They let go of each other after a few more moments.
"So what's the game plan?" Darryl asked.
"Let's go to the movies. Cody told me The Pink Panther was good." Travis said.
"Cool." Maddie said. Travis put his arm around Maddie and the four of them walked over to their cars. They drove Angie's car, because it could fit all of them. Angie drove them to the movies, Darryl sat in the passenger seat, and Maddie and Travis talked in the back seat.
"That movie was stupid." Angie said.
"Yeah. But it was stupid funny." Travis said.
"Whatever. It was horrible." Darryl said.
"No it wasn't." Maddie said.
"You just mad because Steve Martin was about to get some." Travis said.
"Man, he never had a chance with Beyonce."
"Yeah. I saw your face at that part. It went sour. You were livid." Maddie and Angie laughed.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever."
"Whatever? You know it's true." They continued to walk down the street, until they came up to Chica's.
"Know what I'm thinkin' Ange?" Maddie said.
"I think I am." Angie said.
"Shopping!" the girls said.
"No!" the guys said.
"Oh come on guys." Angie said.
"No. Absolutely not." Travis said.
"Please baby." Maddie said. She gave him the puppy dog pout.
"Oh no. Darryl, talk me down man. Talk me down." Travis said.
"Why? What's wrong?" Darryl said.
"Dude, she's giving me the puppy dog pout. I can't resist it. It'd be worse if Esteban was here. The two of them combined is impossible to resist, to anyone. But since Maddie's my girlfriend, it has more of an effect."
"Dude, don't fall for it. Stay away from the pout."
"Fine. But only a half hour."
"Dawg!"
"What? You weren't quick enough." The four of them walked in. Darryl and Travis were then surrounded by clothing. Girls' clothing. The girls went crazy and began to try on clothes. Some the guys liked some they didn't. They didn't even leave at the appointed time of a half hour. The girls continued to try on clothes until Travis's phone rang.
"Hello. This is TK speakin'."
"Travis, why do you use the initials T and K?" Carey asked.
"Travis Kaden. My first two names. If you wanna get technical, my full initials are TKM. So what's up?"
"I need you to come down to the hotel."
"Now?"
"Yes. You can go straight back out when we're done."
"OK mom. I'll be there in twenty minutes."
"Darryl's house isn't that far away."
"We decided to go to the mall." Travis lied.
"OK. I'll see you in twenty minutes."
"OK." Travis hung up his Treo. "We need to go to the Tipton. For a short time though." Travis said.
"Alright." Maddie said. Angie drove back to the park and then followed Travis to the hotel after he got his car.
"We'll go in separately. Make it look less suspicious." Travis said. He and Darryl walked in.
"Ahh. Travis. Your mom is waiting at the restaurant." Mr. Moseby said as they walked in.
"Thanks Mr. Moseby." Travis and Darryl walked to the restaurant in silence. Travis was too busy wondering why his mom wanted him. And why at the restaurant? "I'll go in alone." Travis said when they got there. Travis walked in alone and was sorry he did because his mom wasn't the only person there.
