Chapter 8:

No, I was dating her!

2:00 am in twin's bedroom:

"So, who was your date with?" asked Zack, curios.

"Oh, um, her name was Jean" said Cody, covering for the fact he was dating Max.

"Oh. Did you have fun?" asked Zack.

"Yeah, great fun. Now please, go to sleep!" begged Cody.

"Oh, fine" replied Zack. Next Morning

"I'm gonna plan another date with Max tonight! Oh yeah!" said Zack happily, sitting down at the breakfast table.

"I'm sorry I can't eat with you boys, but I have to go to the bank" said Carrey, kissing them both on the forehead, and then heading out the door.

"You're dating Max?" asked Cody, a little shocked.

"Yup. Didn't I tell you?" asked Zack.

"No. And, I'm dating Max" said Cody.

"Your dating Max?" asked Zack shocked.

Cody slammed his fist on the table, angry at himself for telling Zack he was dating her.

"Cody, you know how much she means to me. How could you have done that?" asked Zack

"Zack, she's a girl. She doesn't belong to anyone"said Cody.

"Well, I was dating her first!" screamed Zack

"No! I was!" screamed Cody.

"I started dating her that night I invited her here" argued Zack

"No! I started dating her that night!" argued Cody.

"Max" the two boys angrily said in unison.

"She set us up!" yelled Cody, his anger now directed towards Max, not Zack.

"Your right!" agreed Zack.

"I think it's time we owed someone a visit" said Cody

Zack just nodded his head, and they both reached for their shoes, put them on, and then headed out the door madly. Suddenly, Cody ran in, wrote a quick note to his mother, and then ran back out to join Zack in the hall. Later in cab:

Cody leaned over the seat and told the driver where they would like to go.

"I can't believe you were dating Max, and didn't tell me" said Zack in disbelief.

"I was afraid you'd get mad at me" responded Cody.

"Yeah, your right. I am mad at you" said Zack, glaring at his brother.

Cody just looked at the window weakly and angrily.

"I can't believe Max would do that" said Cody.

"I know! I thought we could always trust her. But, now, I beg to differ" said Zack.

"Here we are" said the taxi driver as they pulled up to the curb outside Max's home.

Cody leaned over the seat, handed the driver the money, and headed out of the car. The two boys walked up the stairs to Max's house and rang the doorbell. Max's mother answered.

"Hello, Zack. Hello, Cody. Max or Tapeworm?"

"Max" they both said in unison.

"Alright, come on in. Max" she called.

Max quickly came down the stairs, looked at the two boys faces, and was worried and scared.

"Come on guys, lets go up to my room" said Max, leading them to her bedroom.

Once inside, Zack and Cody began to blurt out their feelings.

"Guys, stop!"yelled Max.

"One at a time now. Cody, you first"

"Max, how could you do this? You said for sure we could be boyfriend and girlfriend"

"Well, um, you see..."

"Max, you said that we were boyfriend and girlfriend" said Zack

"Now that's not my fault. You see..."

"Oh sure it's not your fault" they said in unison.

At that moment Zack and Cody dashed out of her room, down the stairs, and out the door furiously. Max just threw herself back on her bed and sighed.

"What have I done? What have I done?" said Max to herself.
