"Here. Check out this trick I taught him. Scamp. Go to daddy." Maddie said. She and Travis were playing with Scamp. Scamp ran over to Travis. Travis chuckled.
"That's hilarious. I can't believe you taught him to consider me as his dad." Travis said. He walked over to Maddie, Scamp at his feet, with their dinner in his hand. He had made spaghetti for them. They had to hurry and eat though, because they had to baby sit Zack and Cody.
"Well, you're my boyfriend and I'm hoping your going to stay that for a while." Maddie said.
"That's sweet." Travis said. He kissed her. It felt great to know she wanted to stay with him. "So, are you going to the dance competition tomorrow?"
"Of course. I wouldn't miss it. Angie and Darryl are coming too."
"Cool. So since I'm now father of the dog, when should I expect grandpuppies?" Travis joked.
"You're already a grandfather." Maddie said.
"Whoa! Already? Man, that was fast. Do you know the dog?"
"Yeah." Maddie said.
"Well who is?" Travis asked. He took a sip from his drink.
"Ivana." Maddie answered. Travis spit out his drink and coughed.
"Ivana? London's dog, Ivana?" Travis asked. Maddie nodded. Travis laughed. "How'd that happen?" Maddie told him the story about how Ivana and Scamp fell in love and how Esteban tried to hide it from London and Maddie. "That's amazing. Awesome. Although I can't believe you'd keep them apart."
"It was London's dog."
"So I guess we're related to London."
"In-laws." Travis laughed. The two finished their dinner when Zack and Cody came. "Hey guys."
"Hey Maddie. Hey Travis." Zack said.
"Hi Scamp." Cody said in a baby voice. Scamp ran over to Zack and Cody. Zack picked him up and pet him.
"Hey guys. Are you hungry?" Maddie asked.
"Yeah!" the twins said.
"OK. Get a plate. And then maybe we could go swimming." Travis said.
"Sweet!" the twins said.
"Travis, it's getting late. Are you sure we should go swimming this time of night." Maddie said.
"Chill. We'll borrow a bathing suit for you." Travis said. He kissed Maddie on the cheek and went to play with Scamp on the floor.
"Hey Darryl? Angie?" Travis said. What were they doing at London's suite?
"What are you guys doing here?" Maddie asked.
"Well, we knew you two were on a date and had to take care of Zack and Cody." Darryl said.
"So we decided to hang out with London." Angie said finishing Darryl's sentence. "So what brings you here?"
"We need to talk to London." Travis said.
"Come in. London!" Darryl said. Travis, Zack, Cody, and Maddie walked in. Maddie was carrying Scamp in her arms.
"Maddie! Travis! Smooches!" London said as she walked in. She gave them air kisses and sat down. She let Ivana wonder freely and Maddie did the same. Travis withheld a laugh as he saw the dogs together. Angie shot him a look saying what are you laughing at.
"I'll tell you later." Travis whispered to Angie.
"London? Can you take care of Scamp?" Maddie asked London.
"Why? What are you four doing?"
"Going swimming." Cody said from behind Darryl.
"Ooh. I wanna come." London said.
"Me too." Angie said.
"Sounds cool." Darryl said.
"OK. Well if we're all going, who's gonna take care of the dogs?" Travis said.
"Helga!" London called. A woman of about thirty came running to London." Take care of Ivana and Spike."
"Scamp." Travis and Maddie said at the same time.
"Yeah. Whatever." London said.
"Hey London. Can I borrow a bathing suit?" Maddie asked.
"Yeah. Me too." Angie said. London looked them up and down.
"OK." London said. London took Maddie and Angie to her closet. The boys stood there for ten minutes before Maddie and Angie walked out. They were wearing the same clothes as they had had on before.
"Did you two change?" Travis said.
"And where's London?" Darryl asked.
"Yes and London's still trying to find a bathing suit." Maddie said.
"Great. At this rate we'll be taking a midnight swim." Zack said. They all waited for another twenty minutes before London came out.
"Ready?" Travis asked.
"Yeah." London said. They all walked behind London and headed to the elevator.
"Come on Lance. Let us in the pool." Travis said.
"Sorry dude. I'm not allowed to let anyone in the pool now." Lance said.
"Come on. Look. We'll let you come swimming with us. And Cody will make you something to eat tomorrow." Travis said.
"Sea food medley and you got a deal."
"OK. Sea food medley."
"Alright. I'm only going easy on you because Maddie's with you." Lance said. Travis turned to Maddie. Maddie giggled nervously. Travis turned back to Lance and shook his hand. They walked to the pool and all the guys jumped straight in after taking off some of their clothes. Travis was the only one who only took off his shoes, socks, and shirts. He jumped into the eight feet wit his jeans on. The girls laughed at him for doing this. They thought it was adorable. After the boys had been dunking each other in the pool for five minutes, the girls finally undressed to show London's bathing suits. Angie and Maddie walked in the pool with the guys and London went into the Jacuzzi. The guys, Angie, and Maddie began to splash and play in the pool. When they were tired, Travis, Maddie, Angie, Darryl, and Lance went to the side of the pool. Zack and Cody dunked each other.
"Hey Travis. Remember that midnight swim we had at my house that night?" Angie said.
"Ye- No." Travis said after he saw the face Maddie was giving him. Angie withheld a giggle. She knew he remembered.
"I'm going to the Jacuzzi." Maddie said.
"I'll join you." Travis said. The two walked out the pool. Maddie walked in the Jacuzzi with ease. Travis dipped his foot in and took it right back out.
"Man that's hot." Travis said as he noticed London had fallen asleep.
"What? The water?" Maddie asked.
"No. You." Travis said.
"Nice try." Maddie said.
"OK. Well it's not OK for me to be jealous, but it is for you?" Travis said.
"I'm not jealous." Maddie said. Travis scoffed.
"Yeah right." Travis got in the Jacuzzi. "Come on. I saw your face when Angie asked me that question. You know you're jealous. Admit it."
"I'm not." Maddie said. Travis moved closer to her and kissed her.
"Admit it." Travis said when he finished.
"Fine. I was jealous. Happy."
"Thank you. You don't have to be jealous. Angie was my girlfriend before you though." Travis said.
"OK. But you were also jealous when Lance said we were only getting in 'cause I was there." Maddie said.
"Fine. I was a little jealous."
"Same goes with you Travis. You don't have to be jealous. Lance was my boyfriend first."
"He was your boyfriend!" Travis said.
"I didn't tell you?" Maddie said.
"No. But thanks for not telling me 'til now."
"Sorry. Well, I guess now that we've got that off our chest we can relax." Maddie said. Travis thought about it.
" A'ight. Fine. Nothing ever happened." Travis said. Maddie kissed him this time.
"Eww. Stop being so gushy." London said.
"I thought you were sleep." Travis said.
"Please. I just wanted to listen to you argue. Please tell me that's the first argument of the relationship." London said.
"Yeah. Why?" Travis said.
"She's gonna tell the whole hotel." Maddie said. The seven of them stayed at the pool for another hour and then headed back to London's suite to grab Scamp. Then, they went to Travis's suite within a few hours they were asleep.
Carey walked in Travis's suite. It was absolutely silent besides the TV that had been left on. She went to turn it off and turned around to look at the picture perfect moment. On the couch were Travis and Maddie. Maddie was sleeping on Travis, her head on his bare chest. Travis's left arm was around Maddie and his right was on Cody's chest as if to hold him back. Cody's head was leaning on Zack's shoulder. In Zack's lap was Scamp. Zack's head was leaning on Angie's shoulder. Her head was leaning against the couch. In the chair next to Travis and Maddie was London. Her head was lying on the right arm and her legs hanging over the left. Darryl's head lay on London's stomach. Luckily, Carey had a digital camera. She took a camera out of her purse and took the picture. She left the kids to sleep and walked to her suite.
