Chapter 14

Alex picked Anna up and followed Miley and Lily into the elevator. Oliver followed Alex in and pushed the button to close the elevator doors. Jackson and Robbie went in the next elevator that came up.

When they got to the lobby, Maddie was just coming through the door.

"Maddie!" said Anna squirming out of Alex's arms and ran over to Maddie who picked Anna up and brought her over to Alex.

"Hey Anna Banana!" said Maddie.

Anna giggled and waved.

"Hey Maddie, are you working at Camp Tipton today?" asked Alex.

Maddie shook her head, "Not today, why?" she asked.

"Oh, because Miley, Lily, Gabi, Taylor and I are going out today, and I wanted Anna to go there, but I only wanted her to go if you were there," said Alex.

Maddie thought for a moment, "What if Anna hung out here with me at the candy counter?" she asked.

"Oh no, I couldn't bother you," said Alex. "It's your job!"

Maddie held up her hand, "It's no problem," she said.

"Are you sure?" asked Alex.

"Positive," she said.

"Thank you so much!" said Alex. "I'll get her a backpack of things and then after we have breakfast, I'll bring her over."

"Sounds good! Bye Anna," said Maddie walking away with Jackson.

Miley was dumbfounded.

"Is that Maddie, and JACKSON?" she asked starring.

"Apparently," said Alex.

Just then, two boys came skating into the lobby. One was wearing a blue superman shirt, blue jeans, and black sneakers. The other guy was wearing a plaid long-sleeved shirt with a black sweater vest, tan pants, and black sneakers.

"Hi," said Cody starring.

Miley starred at Cody.

Alex smiled, walked around and hit her on the arm. Miley glared at Alex and then turned back to Zack.

"I'm Miley," she said sticking out her hand.

"Cody," he said shaking it.

The other boy came up to Lily and smiled.

"Hi, I'm Lily," she said sticking her hand out.

The guy shook it.

"I'm Zack," he said.

Lily started twirling a lock of her blonde hair between her finger.

Anna walked over to Alex, "Why are Lily and Cousin Miley acting so funny?" she asked.

Alex laughed, "It's what girls do when they like a guy," she said.

"Oh! Like you and Oliver!" said Anna.

Alex turned red as Oliver started laughing. She glared at Oliver who immediately stopped.

Miley and Lily continued talking to Cody and Zack while Alex was trying to hold back the fact that she would eat the candy counter if she was allowed too.

Finally after fifteen minutes of listening to Miley and Lily giggling at everything Zack and Cody said, Alex walked over to them.

"Guys, I'm going to go eat," said Alex.

"I'll go," said Oliver.

"I'll come with y'all," said Robbie.

Alex rolled her eyes. She walked over to the girls.

"GUYS!" she yelled.

Miley and Lily jumped a mile, as did Zack and Cody.

"WHAT!" they asked.

"We have to go eat! You can talk to these guys later!" she said.

"But, but, but," said Miley and Lily.

"NOW!" she said pointing to the restaurant.

Miley and Lily glared at Alex then waved to Zack and Cody. Alex smiled and followed the rest of them to the restaurant.

"Nice job," said Oliver.

"Thank you," she said smiling.

"Oh, so we can't talk to boys, but you can talk to your boyfriend?" said Lily.

Alex turned red, "Is this make fun of Alexandra Day?" she asked.

"Alexandra?" asked Oliver sitting down.

"Well, in holidays they always use your full name," she said sitting Anna in her highchair.

Oliver nodded.

Alex buckled Anna in and sat down next to her.

"At least I don't spend fifteen minutes giggling to everything he says," said Alex sitting and smiling as Miley and Lily turned red.

The seating arrangement was: Robbie, Miley, Lily, Anna, Alex and Oliver. Jackson was at breakfast with Maddie so there was a place missing at the table.

Breakfast went uneventfully. Miley, Lily and Alex gossiped while the guys talked about sports. Anna was quiet and ate her food trying to take in the huge restaurant.

There were about a hundred circular tables and each one of them had a soft white table cloth. Each table had four chairs, except for about five rectangular tables that had seven chairs.

"Alex? When am I going to Camp Tipton?" asked Anna.

"Well, actually Anna, you are going to hang out with Maddie at the candy counter!" she said.

"But what will I play with?" asked Anna.

"Well, I'll bring down a backpack of your favorite toys and…" said Alex.

"What?" asked Anna excitedly.

"I'll let you use my iPod, if you know that you can only listen to two play lists right?" she asked.

Anna nodded, "Hannah Montana and the one with the name Anna on it right?" she asked.

Miley turned around when she heard Hannah Montana.

Alex blushed, "What? They are good songs!" she said.

Miley laughed, "Thank you," she said.

"Anna loves them. I made a play list for her and a play list with Dora songs and stuff like that," she said.

Miley nodded, "Cool!"

Breakfast ended shortly after that and Alex, Anna, Miley and Lily went upstairs to help Anna pack her backpack.

When they got up to their room, it was pretty easy to pack for Anna since she already had the backpack she used when she was on the plane. The only difference was that Alex put her video iPod into the little pouch on the side of the backpack and she also she put her Nintendo DS in the front pouch.

"Alright, you ready?" asked Alex giving Anna the backpack.

Anna nodded, "Yup!" she said.

"Okay," said Alex putting her hair down and then putting it up in a tight bun, "You do know that you have to be careful when you play the iPod or the DS right?" she asked.

Anna nodded.

Alex smiled, "Alright, you ready to go see Maddie?" asked Alex.

Anna started jumping up and down.

"I'll take that as a yes," she said laughing.

Anna walked out to the living room where Lily and Miley were, and Alex ran into her bedroom and grabbed her purse. She grabbed her wallet, which had money and her credit card, on the nightstand.

She went back to the living room where Anna was watching Disney Channel with Lily and Miley.

"Guys, we gotta get going. It's," she said looking at her watch, "9:45, and Gabi and Taylor said to meet them at 10."

Miley and Lily ignored her and continued watching TV.

"You know, I bet Zack and Cody are downstairs," she said turning around to a can of soda. Before she turned around, Miley and Lily were at the door.

Alex laughed.

"Alex? Why are you laughing?" asked Anna.

"I just thought of something funny," she said ruffling Anna's hair.

Miley and Lily were at the elevator by the time Alex and Anna got out of the suite. They ran to catch up, Anna going as fast as she can with her big backpack on her backpack. By the time they got there, Anna was panting so hard and looked like she was about to fall over from lack of oxygen.

The elevator dinged and the doors opened. Miley and Lily walked in, and Alex carried Anna in so she wouldn't pass out.

When the elevator opened, Alex walked out and put Anna on the ground. Maddie was already at the candy counter talking to Jackson, Zack and Cody.

"Told ya!" said Alex.

Miley and Lily rolled there eyes and went to talk to them.

Alex sighed and sat on the couch. Anna sat next to her and sighed imitating her sister.

Suddenly, Alex's sight went black.
