Chapter 6: The Secret Revealed
Michelle was so glad that Zack was going towear a dress. She was walking to the candy counter when she saw Zack. She started to hum Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
"Hey Michelle." She was smiling and still humming. "Hi Zack." She continued to hum.
"Why are you humming that?" Zack asked.
"I'm just trying to get my mind off that I'm leaving tomorrow." Her smile turned into a frown.
"YOU'RE LEAVING TOMORROW!"
"Yeah, you didn't know that?" Michelle asked.
"If I did would I be asking you?... Anyways, do you wanna hang-out, you know before you leave n all?" Zack replied.
"Maybe later, I have to go pack." Michelle walked away and hummed again. Zack looked at her weird.
The boy's suite
Zack walked through the doors. Cody was reading a book.
"Hey Cody, do you know why Michelle is acting so weird lately?"
Cody put his book down. "Umm...I don't know." He started to read again.
"She was humming a lot and I think it was Twinkle Twinkle Little Star."
"Was she...hum...that's kinda weird." Cody started to panic.
"Well they're leaving tomorrow." Zack said.
"What? Why?" Cody asked.
"I don't know but we should hang out with them before they leave."
"Yeah we should so I can get my kiss-" Cody said but then got interrupted.
"Who said you were gonna get a kiss?"
The phone rang. Zack went to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Hi Zack, it's me Michelle."
"Oh, hey Michelle."
"Listen, do you wanna hang-out?"
"Sure...what do you wanna do?"
"Ummm...well me and Jennifer have 2 extra tickets to go see a baseball game and we wanted to see if you and Cody wanted to come."
"That's would be great!"
"Well meet us at the lobby at 5 o'clock. Bye."
"Bye."
Zack smiled. "Cody that was Michelle. They invited us to go see a baseball game at 5 so go get ready."
"Jennifer is girly and likes sports, that's my kinda girl!" Cody ran in his room.
What the boys didn't know is that Michelle and Jennifer had brought tickets for baseball's most rival team, The New York Yankees and The Boston Red Soxs.
In Michelle's room
Both Jennifer and Michelle were all decked out in Yankee wear. The girls headed to the lobby.
Back with the boys
"Mom we're going to see a baseball game with Michelle and Jennifer. See you later." Cody said.
"Okay boys have fun."
"Ok." They both said as they headed to the lobby.
Zack and Cody arrived at the lobby were they saw Michelle and Jennifer sitting on the sofa.
They saw them wearing all Yankee things.
"You guys are Yankee fans?" Zack asked.
"Well duhh! We do live in New York. What do you except us to like, My Entire Team Stinks?" Michelle said.
"Huh?" Zack and Cody said together.
"The Mets." Jennifer said.
"Well this should be interesting.." Cody said to himself as the four of them walked away.
At the stadium
They walked towards their seats.
"Wow we have seats right over the dug-out!" Zack said.
"Yeah, thank London, she's the one who gave us the tickets. She said she wanted her room back." Michelle said.
They took their seats. Michelle sat next to Zack and Jennifer sat next to Cody. The girls were more into the game then they were.
"The first batter up, Manny Ramirez. Moussina throws the pitch. Ramirez hits it. It's going it's going and Matsui dives for the ball. He caught the ball! Wait something wrong. I believe that Matsui is hurt...wait we have just been informed that Matsui hurt his wrist badly"
"All man!" Jennifer and Michelle said as they sat back in their seats. Zack and Cody were dancing around. Jennifer and Michelle just watched them.
"Boys..."
Later in the game
"And the Yankees win 11 to 3!"
"Yesssss!" Michelle said.
"Whata game!" Jennifer added.
"It was alright..." Zack answered.
"Yeah, your just mad that we beat your butts." Michelle barked.
"At least our player didn't get hurt." Zack snapped.
"It was a bad hit, Ramirez shouldn't even be in baseball, he should be in anger management."
"Well at least our players can catch a ball." Zack and Michelle kept going at it.
"Guys, guys stop it!" Cody yelled.
"Yeah you guys are acting like babies." Jennifer added.
"It's just a baseball game." Cody said.
When Jennifer and Cody walked away, Zack and Michelle started menacing them.
"We heard that." Jennifer said as Michelle and Zack to laughed.
At London's suite
"Well we had a great time. Thanks for inviting us." Zack said.
"Yeah...to bad you guys are leaving tomorrow." Cody said. Michelle was looking at Jennifer. Then she elbowed her in the arm. She was trying to tell Jennifer to kiss Cody now.
Jennifer's head
Ok, it's now or never. I don't know, should I kiss him or not. Michelle is a great friend so I should do it. She would do it for me. Ok Jennifer, here I go...
Jennifer leaned in and kissed him on the lips. Zack was just standing there in shock, not believing that he had lost the bet. Michelle was happy that Jennifer did it. Then Jennifer and Cody finally broke apart. Cody was smiling.
"Well, bye Cody..." Jennifer went into the suite smiling like crazy.
"Bye Zack." Michelle started to hum the song again as she walked into the suite.
"Cody, what did you do?"
"I just kissed Jennifer." Cody was still smiling.
"Not that! Did you tell the girls about the bet?"
Cody snapped out of his little 'trans'. "Um...gotta go!" Cody ran to the elevator.
"Wait!" Zack ran after him.
Cody got to the suite. It was around 8:30 and Carey was sitting on the sofa with a box of tissues watching t.v.
"Hey Cody. Where's Zack?" She was sniffing a lot.
"I don't know. He was right behind me."
"So did you have a good time?"
"Did I ever..." Cody touched his lips and was thinking about the kiss.
"I know that face...you kissed her?" Carey was waiting for an answer.
"No, why did you get that idea?" He was blushing.
"Um, I don't know, maybe it cause you drooling like a baby." Cody wiped his chin.
"Well-" Cody was interrupted.
"You!" Zack ran into the room.
"Did you tell the girls about our bet?" Zack suddenly stopped in his tracks because he just realized that his mom had been listening.
"What bet?" Carey sat up and looked at her sons.
"Um...who said anything about a bet?" Cody tried to cover it up.
"Zack did."
"I did, did I? Well...um...it's nothing really, you wouldn't understand."
"Try me."
"Well we kinda sorta, made a bet on who would get a kiss first.."
"How may times must I tell you boys that girls aren't awards to be won or bet on?"
"Well...I don't know...anyways, Cody did you tell them?" Zack looked at him.
"No way, of corse not, I wouldn't, I didn't...don't be jealous that I won." Cody went to the bathroom.
"Mom can we talk?"
"Of corse we can. What's on your mind?"
"Well Michelle is leaving tomorrow and since I might not ever see her again I wanna do something nice for her so she will never forget me...do you have any ideas?"
"That's so sweet honey! You must really like this girl." Zack nodded his head.
"Well let me think, why don't you make her a card or something?"
"Can't."
"Why not?"
"Cody made Jennifer one and I want my gift to be original."
"Um...what about flowers? Ever girl loves roses."
"But that's so simple."
"Well honey, sometimes the simplest things are the best."
"Thanks mom." Zack got up and went to bed.
The Girls Room
"Thanks a lot Jennifer, you know for kissing Cody and all."
"No problem, it's me pleasure..." She started to simile.
"To bad we have to live tomorrow..." Michelle said sadly.
"Yeah, I'm gonna miss it here...at was so much fun."
"Yeah, well what time is our flight?" Michelle asked.
"7 in the afternoon. It gives us time to hang-out with Zack and Cody before we leave."
"So girls are you all packed up to leave?" London asked cheerfully.
"Yeah we are..." Jennifer replied.
"What's wrong?"
"Not that you care, but I'm just gonna miss it here."
"Listen Jen, I know I give you a hard time but it's because I'm jealous."
"Jealous, jealous of what. You have everything. Looks, a great home, great friends-"
"But you have something I don't have..."
"What's that?"
"Daddy. You get to see him all the time, that's why I act so mean to you. You're actually a great step sister and I wish I would have spent more time with you."
"London, I never seen this side of you before...thanks."
"Well you're welcome here anytime, my casa is your casa." London hugged Jennifer.
"Www, how sweet." Michelle said. "Oh and I believe it'd 'mi casa es tu casa.'" Jennifer started to laugh and so did Michelle.
The next Day
Zack went to the store to get Michelle her present. He was going to get her a box of chocolate with her name painted on it. He knew that she loves chocolate. Cody was upstairs making sugar cookies for Jennifer and finishing her card. It was only 12 o'clock, so they had plenty of time.
"Hey Cody." Zack walked into the room to find a plate of cookies on the table. He reached in to grab one.
"Don't... touch... those... cookies!" Cody ran and grab the plate from off the table.
"Why, there are plenty of cookies there, one less wouldn't hurt."
"Well just don't touch it. So what did you get for Michelle?"
"Well since she likes chocolate I got her a box of them with her name on it and a little note."
Cody went to his bedroom and got the card he made. Then he wrapped the plate with clear wrap.
They went to the lobby with there gifts.
"Hey Maddie, can you hold these behind the counter for us?" Zack asked.
"Yeah, it's gifts for the girls." Cody added.
"Sure. You guys are real sweet."
"We know." They both said together.
Zack and Cody went to their suite to play some video games.
"Ha, take that!" Zack said.
"You not gonna win that easily!" Cody said.
"Wanna bet!" Zack destroyed Cody's last ship.
"All man!" Cody put his controller on the table.
"Like stealing candy from a baby! You can never defeat the champ!"
"So what do you wanna do now?" Cody asked.
"You can do my homework."
"But if I do your homework, you wont learn anything."
"That's a sacrifice I'm willing to take."
"It's ok, I wouldn't want to take away your pleasure." Cody got up and got a soda and looked at the clock.
"It's 2:16, the girls are leaving in exactly 3 hours and 44 minutes... no, make that 3 hours and 43 minutes."
"Must you do that every time you look at the clock?"
"Um...yes." Cody smiled.
"You play elevator football?" Zack asked.
"But Moseby said not to."
"But Moseby said not to" Zack menaced "You're such a baby."
"I'm not!" Cody said.
"Then let's play." The went to the elevator and pressed, 'the lobby' button.
"Ok Zack when the doors open, kick it." Cody held the football on the floor. The doors opened. Zack kicked the ball far and hard. It hit the table where the vase was on. It started to shake and tilted over.
"Oh no!" Mr.Moseby leaped towards it as it was falling. He got it.
"Boys!" He yelled.
"You in trouble." Cody said pointing at Zack.
"Oops." Zack said to himself. Moseby speed walked over to the boys.
"What did I tell you boys about playing football in the lobby? You boys almost broke the vase...again."
"Sorry."
"Well don't let it happen again."
"Ok." Zack walked away followed by Cody.
"See what I told you..."
"Oh, be quite."
It was 5:30 and the girls were about to leave.
"Well, I guess this is goodbye..." Cody said.
"Yeah, I guess it is."
"Wait, we have something for you!" Zack and Cody ran to the candy counter and they got the gifts.
"Well since you love chocolate I wanted to give you this. I know it's not a lot but it's all I could really afford." Zack handed Michelle the gift.
"Zack, it's the thought that counts, and it really means a lot to me."
"Oh and this to." Zack handed her the note. It read:
Dear Michelle,
I really had a great time with you over these 3
weeks. I'm sad that you're leaving, but I'll always
remember you. I hope you do to.
From, Zack
"Zack, thank you." She hugged him.
Jennifer was standing there, just waiting for her gift.
"Oh and this is for you." Cody handed her the plate of sugar cookies.
"I love sugar cookies! Thank you." Jennifer said.
"And here." He handed her a card.
Dear Jennifer,
You are nice, sweet, smart, funny, and you
like video games and sports. I'm glad that I met you.
I hope I see you again. If I don't I will always have the
memories. Hopefully we can keep in touch.
Signed, Cody Martin (the good twin)
"Don't worry, I'll never forget you."
Beep, beep, beep.
"Well that's our limo we better get going." Michelle said.
"Yeah. Well bye." Both Zack and Cody said. Jennifer gave Cody a kiss on the cheek and Michelle gave Zack a kiss on the cheek. They grabbed their bags and went to the door. They waved to the boys and they waved back. Them they were gone.
"Now what?" Cody asked his brother.
"I don't know." They both sat on the sofa in the lobby.
