"Whoa, whoa, whoa here people!" Zack announced loudly while stepping forward "I…that…that's Max's note, not Cody's…"

"What?" Max exclaimed while stepping in front of Zack "How? I didn't write that…I…thought you wrote it!"

"But…" Zack stuttered, moving his hands back and forth "I…you…we crashed and…the note."

"Yeah" Cody explained "Like I said, we ran into each other, and then I dropped the note. Oh, uh, and I accidentally took your homework by mistake."

"Hey!" Zack hollered "That was like the only time I did my homework why did you…"

"Getting off topic here people!" Max complained while facing Zack "Look, it doesn't matter who wrote it…is this how you really feel Zack. Is the note anything how you feel.?"

Zack scratched his head and looked up at Max "I'm not…um…very good at explaining things in front of people like…"

"It doesn't matter who's listening Zack! I'm here!" Max said while putting her hand on Zack's shoulder "Tell me what you feel."

Zack looked up and blinked twice "I…we are best friends…and I…I…"

"you?..."

"I…I…"

Zack leaned in and softly kissed Max on the cheek "I…I love you."

Max blushed as Zack slipped his hand into hers and held her in a comfortable hug.

"So" Max blushed softly "Are we still, you know…boyfriend girlfriend?"

Zack smiled and kissed Max once more on the cheek then nodded "Yeah, I'm pretty sure." Max blushed again.

Zack and Max started to walk out of the room when Maddie stepped in front of the door.

"Hold it right there Zack!" Maddie ordered while spreading out her arms "No ones going anywhere until I figure out how this happened. Okay, so all I know is that Cody wrote it, and Zack accidentally grabbed it for his homework.

The twins nodded

"Okay" Maddie agreed "So then how did it get to Esteban from Zack?"

Zack shrugged "I dunno" Zack confessed "Ask Esteban."

"Well, okay, Est…what?" Maddie called out but realized Esteban was no longer in the room.

FLUSH. Esteban walked out of the bathroom.

"Esteban!" Maddie complained "Come on, get with the program."

"Ok ok" Esteban agreed while wiping his hands on his pants" So what happened?"

"Well, the note apparently started with Zack accidentally taking it from Cody, but how did you get it?"

"Well" Esteban started softly "I thought that, well, I thought you dropped it in the kitchen."

"What?" Maddie questioned "why would I do that?"

Esteban rubbed his foot into the ground and started to inspect a very interesting piece of lint on the Martins carpet.

"Esteban?"

"Well…I…" Esteban muttered nervously " I thought…I just thought maybe you left it for me. Like you wanted to tell me all along how you felt." Esteban looked at Maddie and smiled "It was stupid, I know."

Maddie stepped forward and put her arms around Esteban "Actually. Without you thinking that, I would of never…found out how much I loved you…"

Esteban raised an eyebrow and looked into Maddie's eyes "You lu…love me?"

Maddie looked down embarrassed "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that, it was dumb and…"

But she couldn't finish the sentence because she was caught off guard by Esteban grabbing her and kissing her deeply, in front of everyone.

"EWW! They're kissing on the mouth!" Cody squeaked while covering his eyes

Maddie and Esteban broke apart quickly and blushed. Maddie looked around nervously.

"Umm…" Maddie stated while wiping her mouth "So…umm, Arwin, How did you find the note?"

Arwin looked around nervously and started to mumble.

" I…er…thought…it was…"

Carrie looked at Arwin in small humor "Arwin? Did you think the 'lyrics' I was asking you to look for was really a love note?"

Arwin's eyes started to dart back and forth

"Maaayyybbbeee…" Arwin drawled out slowly. Than he started to panic slightly.

"Why? Now we can't go out? Cause it's really not from you but I you we still is….Nooo!" Arwin screeched as he ran around the room, finally accidently hitting the wall and falling down unconscious.

Carrie bent down to Arwin and whispered "You know, I was really hoping we could still go out, but since your unconscious and all…"

Arwin's head suddenly shot up

"How 'bout 6:00? Wear the pink dress with the flowers!" Arwin spat out ecstatically, then fell down unconscious again.

Carrie cracked a smile along with everyone else.

"Well" Cody sighed "This is sooo interesting, but I really gotta go to the bathroom again. I drank way too much soda."

"Uh?" Zack laughed "You sure that's a good idea Cody? You might miss something."

Cody stopped and turned around and sighed.

"Just knock on the door if someone breaks up or something, Okay?"
