The next morning when Cody woke up he ran to meet Maddie at the Candy Counter before Zack could get up to follow him. His reason for this being was that he didn't believe all that nonsense about Maddie and Trevor one bit; one reason being that Trevor had supposedly got a girl pregnant about three months ago. So he had made a plan to maybe trick Maddie into telling the truth.

When he got into the lobby it was 8:05 in the morning and Maddie was just putting the "WELCOME" sign up on the counter.

"Hey, Maddie!" Cody said excitedly.

"Hey, what's up with you?" she asked quizzically, propping her elbow on the counter slouching.

"Nothing, oh, congratulations!" he said smiling.

"On what?"

"Zack told me about you and-," Cody got interrupted by Maddie's shriek.

"He told you? I mean I figured you would figure out but never this soon. Are you mad?" Maddie asked totally freaking out.

"About you and Trevor, um no. Why should I be?" he said trying to hide a smirk.

"Me and, uh I guess because, um, - Zack!" she smiled seeing him walk up behind Cody. "You told Cody about me and Trevor?" she finished with a questioning look on her face.

"Uh, yeah, I'm sooo sorry, it's just that, well, I'll tell you later," Zack finished lamely.

"Ok, don't you dare forget though!" she warned him.

"I won't he promised, thanking God that his prayer had been answered and that she wasn't mad at him.

"So when's he coming over?" Cody asked thinking maybe she was going out with Trevor, but highly doubting it.

"Who?" she said having completely forgetting that she was supposedly dating Trevor. Either that or she was having a really bad London moment.

"Trevor," he said bluntly.

"Oh! Him, well he's on a vacation in Hawaii for two weeks and won't be back 'till the first of July," she said happy at how good she was getting at lying.

"Well looks like it was canceled," Zack said grimly.

"Why?" Maddie asked wondering what in the world he was talking about.

"'Cause he's right there," and Zack pointed over to where Trevor was standing by the door.

"Why are you so white Maddie? You should go say hey," Cody said grinning.

"Uh, I can't!" Maddie said glancing quickly over at Zack hoping he would notice and help her out. Fortunately for her he did.

"Cody you know that Moesby'll fire her if she goes somewhere just to talk."

"Oh yeah, then I'll just call him over here. Tre-," suddenly he was knocked down on the floor. When he looked up he saw it was Zack that had knocked him down.

"What did you do that for?" Cody yelled mad that Zack had knocked him down for seemingly no reason.

"Uh, sorry, I tripped on the corner of the counter," Zack replied hoping he would believe him.

"Hey Zack you knocked off some candy when you hit the counter. Will you come help me pick them up? Now." Maddie said seeing how Cody was looking really suspicious and she needed to find out what was going on.

"Oh, ok" and with that he went behind the counter and stooped down pulling Maddie with him. "Ok, first let me do this," he gave her a quick yet meaningful kiss on the lips.

"Secondly, I had to tell Cody and Mom that you went out with Trevor or they would've found out, I wasn't expecting him to be here," he said kind of annoyed at Cody who kept bringing it up.

"Ok, I understand your mom but why'd you lie to Cody?" she asked confused.

"He was standing next to her," was all he had to say to get it across to Maddie.

"Oh, but Zack is there anyway you can get Cody to go away," she said pouting sticking her lip out, "because I don't want to stay on the floor by myself."

Zack catching her meaning that she wanted to make out stood straight up, "Cody don't you have a big Math Camp thing coming up that you should be going to?" he asked really quickly while Maddie was tugging on his hand.

"Oh that's next week," he answered in typical Cody fashion.

"Well shouldn't you be preparing for it?" Zack said wishing he would just go on.

"Oh I should shouldn't I?" Cody said and turned around then stopped. "Where's Maddie?"

"Um, she's still picking up he said nervously.

"Oh ok, bye!" this said, he got into the elevator and went up to the family suite.

Zack crouched down on the floor, eye level with Maddie who was sitting with her legs crossed. "I figured that would get you to make him hurry up and leave," she said smiling at the look of shock on his face, "but I still love you even though you are a perv." At that she burst out laughing, rolling on the floor.

"Oh, so you think I'm a perv, do? Well I guess I'll have to prove you wrong then by not kissing you for a whole WEEK!" and with that he started laughing at her shocked expression.

"Zackary Shane Martin! Don't you dare!" she shrieked, tackling and playfully hitting him.

Both of them unaware that Esteban had just heard everything had said until they heard him muttering to himself in his Latino accent. "Little blonde person and big blonde person, together?" he paused tapping his fingers together. "Oh dear what do I do? What do I do?" suddenly he pointed he pointed his finger in the air. "I know! I'll tell Carrie."

"Maddie did you hear that? He knows and he's going to tell mom?" Zack paused looking down noticing Maddie wasn't sitting up. "Maddie? Maddie!" he found her lying on the floor having fainted upon hearing Esteban.

"Esteban, wait!" Zack said jumping up and stopping Esteban in his tracks. "You can't tell Mom!"

"Why not?" he asked confused.

"I'll tell you later, first will you please help me get Maddie somewhere quiet and empty, then when she comes to we'll tell you together," Zack said worrying about Maddie just lying on the floor like that.

"Oh, of course!" and with that Esteban picked Maddie up and threw her over his shoulders like it nothing at all.

Soon Esteban was running into an empty room that looked as if it hadn't been used in about a century it was so dusty.

"Esteban, is this Suite 613?" Zack asked confusedly.

Yes it is. You said somewhere where nobody could hear or see us. The only person here is dead and is a ghost," Esteban said pointedly.

"Exactly, we can't stay in here it would scare Maddie to death, although that could be a good thing," he said in typical Zack fashion. "Still though it's-," he was cut off by Maddie opening her eyes and asking him a question.

"Zack, where are we?"

"Suite 613, but don't blame me, it was Esteban's idea." Suddenly Maddie got a scared look on her face.

"Maddie its ok, remember it's not really haunted, I think. Anyway it'll be ok," Zack said walking over to her and grabbing her hand.

"Huh, wait, no that's not why I'm scared. He knows doesn't he," she asked knowing the answer but hoping he'd say no anyway.

"Yes, but it'll be ok. That's why we came here was to talk," Zack said comforting her.

"Ok," she said.

Zack leaned in and kissed her quickly on the lips then said "You ready?" When she nodded yes they both turned towards Esteban,
