-1A/N: Okay, here's the last chapter before the two part finale. This is from 'Falls on Me' by Fuel. Let's get started! I really hadn't planned on make this chapter, so I'm just gonna wing it. : ) This'll most likely be a Maddie and Zack chapter.

Disclaimer: I only own the plot and I've been forgetting to add I don't own the song or the band,

Chapter Summary: Maddie and Zack shape their plan and have a bit of fun.

!#$&()+

"Good plan," Zack complimented.

"Told you. I mean, since they're going to formal together it'll come together perfectly. Even though it's only to get at Luke, they both know they want to go with each other," Maddie surveyed.

"Yeah. They're just too stubborn to admit it," Zack said, rolling his eyes.

"Why do people act that way? I mean, if they like each other, they should tell each other and not try to hide it," she replied with a light chuckle. And so began the awkward silence between them since, that was the exact way Maddie had been. She didn't like to think of herself as headstrong. But that's exactly what she had been. She couldn't deny that. Neither one of them tried to make conversation after that until,

"Did you wanna go get something to eat, or something?" Zack spoke up.

"Uh, sure. I am kind of hungry," Maddie responded.

20 Minutes Later

"So, she really did think she saw aliens?" Zack laughed, after hearing Maddie's long story about London and the aliens she thought she saw.

"Yes. It was a crazy couple of days," Maddie giggled in response. They were eating at a local coffee shop. It was very nice inside, with lots of plants and white lights. They had both finished eating, and were now talking animatedly.

"Ooh, and remember that ghost in suite 613?" Zack asked hopefully.

"Oh my gosh yes. That was the ultimate prank!" Maddie said proudly, reminding herself of her handy work. Zack crossed his arms, remembering that the prank was at his expense. Maddie noted this, and quickly stopped her arrogance.

"Remember how Cody and London were always clinging to each other?" Zack wondered, in a keen, observant voice.

"Oh, yeah. Guess we should have picked up on the whole foreshadowing thing," she replied with a smirk. Zack looked up at the clock.

"Wow. 8:00 pm already? You ready to go?" He asked. She nodded, tucking a piece of her straight, layered, blonde hair behind her ear. They got up and began making their way back to the Tipton. As they were walking along the sidewalk, Maddie felt a drop of water splash onto her cheek.

"Oh no! It's about to rain," she exclaimed. Then it began pouring down, after a few seconds. They were getting soaking wet, not having the common sense to bring an umbrella. Maddie went to make a run for the hotel, but Zack pulled her back.

"Zack! What are you doing!" She yelled to him, over the loud sound of the water bombarding the pavement. All of a sudden, he pulled her close to him. Their faces were inches apart, and their hair was clinging to their faces. He took care of the gap between them, when he brushed his lips softly against hers. Maddie's breath caught in her throat, even though she knew it was coming. After they pulled apart, she was breathless.

"What was that for?" She murmured. He smiled, took her hand and they ran back to the hotel. They made it back minutes later, laughing and trying to catch their breath. London was waiting for them.

"Where have you guys been?" She scolded. They looked at each other and smiled.

"Nowhere," they said in unanimity. She looked at them, skepticism clear on her face. But instead of prying, she left it at that, giving Maddie a sly grin before walking away. Maddie bit her lip and looked at the floor. She waved goodbye to Zack and followed London up to her suite.

"Hey. What happened while we were gone?" Maddie asked playfully, teasingly punching London in her arm.

"Nothing really. Me and Cody talked for a little while. What happened while you were gone?" London countered, smirking from ear to ear. Maddie acted innocent as she played with her fingers.

"Nothing," she lied in a childish voice.

"Yeah right. You wouldn't have been so chipper when you came in if that were true. Tell me, tell me, tell me!" She said desperately, yearning for the gossipy news.

"He kissed me. In the rain," she admitted, putting great emphasis on the last part. London gasped, and they jumped up and down squealing like little girls, which was hard to do in an ascending elevator. They spun each other around giggling and ignoring the glares from onlookers, as the doors opened. They rushed to London's suite and London gave Maddie some dry clothes to wear.

"Wanna sleep over again tonight?" London asked her, turning on her huge stereo. Maddie nodded vigorously, getting up on the couch and jumping on it. London looked a little shocked at her immaturity.

"This is the same Madeline Fitzpatrick that won the 12th grade science fair?" London joked, noting Maddie's normally classy, responsible nature.

"I'm in a good mood! What can I say?" Maddie yelled happily, dancing and jumping at the same time. London watched her for a few more seconds, shrugged, and then decided to join her. They jumped for a few minutes, but then they got tired.

"What do you wanna do now?" Maddie asked London, panting uncontrollably. They both looked up at each other, wide-eyed expressions on their faces.

"Ice cream!" They said at the same time. London ran over and grabbed two pints of Cotton Candy flavored ice cream.

"My favorite," Maddie complied.

"Me too," London agreed. They decided to watch movies while eating their ice cream, and then they fell asleep. London knew it was a good day. Even with the exception of Luke. And come spring formal, she was gonna shove it in his face.

A/N: Okay, I didn't expect it to be that long. But anyways. Next up is the two part finale!
