A/N: So this took awhile. Sorry I've been playing video games. Sometimes I just don't want to write. So I promise to update all my stories this month but it will be a little slower than normal.

As for the song this time. I consider it the theme song of Codette. With Bridgette liking Cody for who he is and Cody trying to be cool because he doesn't think girls will like him otherwise.

With respect to the reviewers:

TDFan and Bridgekiel: Yeah but ultimately Trent is better off.

Ludex002: none taken. Everyone has their own opinion.

Guy Buddy: Wait no more! Glad you enjoyed them

Bridgette loved her boyfriend. He was sweet, caring, and often had her best interest in mind. Sometimes he could be goofy but she found that endearing. He'd get excited over the smallest of things, like buying her a pop or a peck on the cheek.

He could screw things up, occasionally. Like the time he wanted to take her somewhere fancy so he took her to a steakhouse. It had all turned out fine since they had a salad bar, but Bridgette made sure to remind him she was vegetarian afterwards.

Then there was the time he had serenaded her from her window. It was sweet, one neighbor had gotten annoyed, and another had thought he was creeping on her and called the police. He was informed that it was okay to sing to his girlfriend but to do it around six or seven rather than three in the morning. Despite those flaws she loved her boyfriend. There was one flaw she hated though.

"Hey Bridge, you're looking fine!" Cody said, clicking his tongue and give her a pair of finger guns. She couldn't help but groan. She loved Cody, but that was just the thing, she loved Cody, not this act he put on. For some reason there were times, especially if they were in public, that Cody would feel the need to act 'masculine'. Like he was a ladies man. She wondered what had set it off this time, then she noticed both Alejandro and Justin were in the hallways as well.

"You don't have to act like that around me, or around anyone for that matter." She told him. Rarely just saying that would help, but more often than not it didn't.

"What act babe? This is the real Codmeister." He replied, once more giving her the finger guns.

Bridgette hated Codmeister. He wasn't her boyfriend, he was what boyfriend thought she wanted. "Look Cody was there something you wanted?" If he was going to act like this she didn't want to be around him.

"Yeah, I came to ask you out babe. Pick you up around five?" He asked. The real Cody never called her babe, and he was always making sure she actually wanted to go out before trying to ask what time. She didn't know why he thought she'd prefer this.

"It's a school night. Maybe some other time." She said, beginning to walk away.

"Wait!" He called, and for just a moment Bridgette heard that real Cody, It didn't last long. "I mean that's cool, the Codster can wait." She rolled her eyes and went on her way.

That Friday he approached her again. She was hoping he'd stopped trying with the act but the moment he spoke those hopes were quashed. "Hey babe, I'm here to ask you to go with me to the movies." He said giving her the finger guns. It was getting to the point that she winced every time she saw them.

"Maybe if my actual boyfriend was asking." She replied tersely. She was so sick of this, she just wanted to hang with her boyfriend, not the caricature talking to her.

"This is your actual boyfriend. I know I'd be surprised I'd landed such a specimen of manhood too." He said with a wink.

"Until you start acting like yourself, don't talk to me!" She stormed off in a huff. Why couldn't he see that she liked him for who he was! She was so upset she didn't even notice Courtney until she ran into her. "Ugh, I'm so sorry Courtney."

The type A calmed herself. "No problem, I can

see your upset. What is it this time?"

Bridgette sighed. "Codmeister."

Courtney nodded. "Yeah, I suspected that. I don't even know why you're dating him."

She gave the brunette a mild glare. "I don't know, why are you dating Gw-" Before she could finish, Courtney covered her mouth.

"You know I don't want anyone to know about that! Election is coming up." The type A said looking around anxiously.

"Courtney people don't care about that anymore. In fact revealing you're bi would probably get you more votes." She deadpanned.

"Maybe, but I can't risk it. If Noah wins again I'm going to go insane!" She took a deep breath. "But that's not important right now. What's important is to help you out."

"Okay, so I've tried showing him that I don't like Codmeister, but he doesn't seem to get it." She sighed.

"Look Bridgette, sometimes you can be too nice. You need to sit down with him and tell him to his face how you feel."

"What if he doesn't listen?" At least when she kept hinting she could pretend he just didn't understand yet. If she outright told him and he still didn't let up she might have to break up with him.

"Then you have to make him listen. You have to get through that thick skull of his and tell him you won't put up with this anymore!"

Bridgette smirked. "You wouldn't happen to be talking from experience, would you?"

Courtney blushed. "M-maybe, but that doesn't matter! What matters is I'm right."

She sighed. "Okay the next time I see him I'll tell him."

It was Saturday morning when she heard the doorbell ring. She groaned and got up from her comfortable position on the couch. When she opened the door she felt like slamming it shut again.

"Hey babe, thought you might want to go to the movies with me?" He said with a tongue click.

She was about to tell him that she wasn't interested, when she remembered what Courtney said. She took a deep breath and gave Cody a serious look. "Cody we need to talk." For a a split second she saw worry in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up.

"Sure thing babe. What did you want to talk about?"

She took a moment to organize her thoughts. "Cody you have to stop acting like this."

"Acting like what babe?"

"Acting like someone you're not." She replied.

"What are talking about, this is me." He said with more finger guns.

"No it's not!" She yelled. She was pretty sure the entire neighborhood knew about it now but she didn't care. "This is Codmeister! That stupid act you put on whenever we're around a large group of classmates! I don't want Codmeister! I want the guy who always asks how my day is, the guy who lets me have his last candy bar just because I'm hungry, the guy who makes me feel like the most beautiful girl in the world!" She didn't realize it but tears were running down her face. "I want my boyfriend back."

Moments later she felt a gentle hand wipe away her tears. "I'm sorry Bridgette. I never meant for this to get so out of hand. When I saw Justin and Alejandro I started to feel like I wasn't good enough. So I started to act like Codmeister because it made me feel more confident. When you said you wanted to go some other time, it made me feel worse. Then when I saw you on Friday I just kind of fell into it. When you got mad at me, I felt so inadequate that I completely withdrew into Codmeister, because he was worthy of you." At this point Cody was looking at the porch. "You're the most amazing girl I know, sometimes I feel like I don't deserve you."

Bridgette cupped his chin and made him look her in the eyes. "Oh Cody, I love you, flaws and all, Don't you ever think you're not good enough. No matter how many Alejandro's and Justin's I could have, I want my Cody."

He gave her a gap toothed grin. "Thanks, I had no idea how much I needed to hear that. So um, you know that theater that shows old films?"

"Yeah."

"They're showing free Willie this week. Do you think you could go with me?" He asked.
Bridgette chuckled and gave him a kiss. "I think that can be arranged."
