-.-.-.-.- Tipton Hotel

.

Maddie Fitzpatrick leaned on the candy counter of the Tipton Hotel, she couldn't wait for her shift to end in order for her to finish packing and leave in order to get to Australia. She had been waiting months for this recess from school so then she would have the opportunity to go see London. She had to admit that it was hard for them because of the distance, not to mention the time differences that constantly change since the S.S Tipton is constantly sailing across the seven seas. She watched eagerly as the large hand on the clock hit 8 and let her know that her shift was finally over, she had been ready to leave when she saw the elevator door open letting out Carey Martin.

"Oh hey Carey." she looked down and noticed a large bag and noticed her panic stricken face. "Whatcha doing with the bag?"

"Oh hi Maddie. I'm just leaving, heading to the airport."

"Really? Wow so am I." the older brunette simply nodded and continued to leave out the doors fading into the darkness of the night. Standing there slightly shocked Maddie simply shrugged and continued to head home.

*-*-*- next scene-*-*-*

Thanking the taxi driver she shut the door and entered the large airport. Taking in a deep breath she smiled to herself and walked down the crowded entrance to the check in counter. After registering her one suitcase and passing through the tiresome security check she finally entered Gate 15A. Maddie bought some food from a small store knowing that she wouldn't be able to eat on the airplane till the next morning, walking down the hall that would lead to her flight she spotted a familiar head of brunette hair.

"Hey Carey! You're going to Australia too?" it was a simple and innocent question, but it seemed to have sent said woman into a nervous frenzy.

"Maddie you cannot believe what's happening!" shocked by the sudden verbal hit she fell down into the chair next to her.

"Carey whats wrong?" concerned of the older woman that she had always seen as a role model she placed her hand on her shaking shoulder. A shuttered sigh escaped her lips and she hid her face in her hands.

"What did I do wrong?" Maddie sighed and looked down at her watch, she had a feeling that this was going to be a long flight.

.

-.-.-.-.-. To Bailey

.

There was always something about small and confined spaces that made the blonde teenager nervous. Ever since she was little she could not be held in a confined space, maybe she was claustrophobic, maybe she hated feeling alone, maybe she simply just didn't like it. Looking around the empty room that only had an empty bed and a couple of boxes taken from her old shared cabin Bailey sighed, deep down she knew that she should have felt bad about something, but all she felt was anger, hatred, and a sense of betrayal. She walked over to the door and looked out the small glass hole to see the large dark male standing across from her door making sure that she didn't leave, it made her angry, being trapped like this like some prisoner. She couldn't do anything in the room, she would pace around the room not knowing the time, after a while someone came in with dinner, they didn't talk to her or even greet her, they simply placed her dinner on the desk, took her other plate and left the room. She was probably hungry, she probably needed to eat, but she just couldn't, she simply laid in her bed until she would wake up the next day not even knowing if she had dreamed the night before.

.

-.-..-.-.- To Zack

.

It was the sun that shone from the window of the blond's cabin that had woken him up from his sleep. Slightly moving to make himself a bit more comfortable he felt the pair of arms around him tighten their hold on him, Zack looked down lovingly at his younger twin. He kissed his brother on the forehead and gently took his arms off him to get out of the warm bed in order to relieve himself. When he reentered the cabin he saw Cody already up looking blankly around the cabin.

"Did have a nightmare about Einstein's String theory right?" expecting some sort of reaction from the blond Zack was worried when there was no reaction. "Something wrong Cody?"

"We're landing in Sydney tomorrow." he walked over to his brother and sat next to him on the combined beds. "I'm scared Zack." he took hold of Cody's face and leaned him towards him, he kissed his forehead and brought him into an embrace.

"Yeah I know, me too Cody. Me too…"

*-*Next scene*-*

"Zack! Cody!" the two twins stopped walking toward the sky deck and turned to see the large dark male that jogged over to them.

"Hey Kirby." panting the large security guard rested for a bit while he attempted to steady his breathing.

"I just wanted to tell you guys that I'm sorry about what happened yesterday. Never would've thought sweet old Bailey would actually do something like that to you Zack. Wasn't right what she did." grateful for Kirby's sincerity Zack smiled and thanked the older male.

"Thanks Kirby." he nodded, after a bit he spoke again.

"Also know that I'm here for you boys. My mama raised me to believe that god loves all his children. So I'm gonna watch over you boys like I watch mama's chicken pot pie on Thanksgiving. Course I wont eat you boys." Kirby's analogy made the twins laugh, he grinned sheepishly and waved the boys good-bye as he walked toward the cafeteria to get something to eat before he had to return to his post. They watched Kirby walk down the hall until he turned the corner, Zack chuckled and turned continuing toward the sky deck where they were to meet London and Woody.

"Wow can you believe it?"

"Believe what?" Cody asked,

"That so many people are okay with us, I mean it feels like it's a dream or something. I'm scared of waking up.."

"Really?" Zack nodded.

"Yeah, Woody, Kirby, even Moseby."

"Mr. Moseby knows?" Cody asked surprised. Zack nodded.

"Bailey told him everything. He came to talk to me asking if it was all true." Cody visibly stiffened. "He didn't say anything about hating us, so I take that as a positive response."

"Last night I dreamt that they all turned on us. That they hated us…" Zack took hold of his hand and squeezed.

"Well good thing it was just a dream." Cody smiled and nodded. Entering the sky deck they were greeted by their two best friends who had been waiting for them at the smoothie bar, Zack smiled at the two friends eager to know that him and Cody could forget about their problems while with the two, if just for a bit

.

*-*-*-*-*To Moseby

.

The open doorway to the lobby of the S.S Tipton let the wind from the outside blow in threatening to make the papers on Mr. Moseby's desk fly away. He let a heavy sigh escape his lips as he began to put away the important papers concerning the sudden troubling teen on board, since the day before the trouble she had caused on this boat in not even a week had been overwhelming for him, especially with having to run the large cruise line. The darker male was about to leave in order to take his rare half hour break in order to eat something when a static came out from the radio that lay on the counter, holding down the button on the side and holding it by his mouth he responded into it. "Moseby here. What's wrong Jim?"

"We're experiencing some difficult in the water. The currents are pushing the ship inland, its not a problem from what we can tell. We might be expecting to land earlier however."

"By how much?"

"A couple hours. Maybe three." Moseby could feel a headache starting up, it wasn't so much as arriving into Sydney in the morning instead of the afternoon, it was the having to call every possible person on land to make sure that the ports were open earlier than expected.

"Alright Jim. Make sure you update me if anything else changes."

"Yes sir." he placed the radio back on the counter, instead of heading to the cafeteria for lunch, a feeling in the pit of his stomach lead him instead down the hall toward his now most troubling teen. As he neared the cabin he was surprised to see the large security guard watching the door across from him.

"Kirby? I thought I sent Edwards to relieve you of your post."

"Yes you did sir but I thought I better if I stayed to watch Ms. Bailey."

"Are you certain?" he nodded his head without hesitation.

"Those boys are family. And momma always taught me to protect family." Moseby felt himself smile, the boys were never the easiest to handle but they definitely never lacked people that cared deeply for them.

"Alright Kirby. But he will take over for the night shift. I'm sure she'll be asleep anyway so there'll be no need to worry so much then." Kirby nodded and watched attentively as Moseby opened the door and entered the cabin.

"Bailey?" when he had entered he only saw the empty cabin, the emptiness made him panic until he heard the door of the bathroom open.

"Mr. Moseby! Hey how's it going! You want to play a game? Ooh like corn shucking."

"I'm only here to tell you about your departure." she stood still and didn't respond to his statement. "We're going to be landing in Sydney tomorrow, your father is coming from the airport to take you back home. Of course security will have to escort you both." Bailey had sat down at the edge of the bed looking down at her hands. Looking at the blonde Mr. Moseby felt a bit sorry for her, not enough to forgive what she had done though.

"Why are you making me leave?"

"You know why, what you did to Zack is unacceptable. I'm disappointed at you Bailey." she paused, her response sounded strained, but almost sincere.

"If I apologize to him… Can I stay?"

"Even though he probably might forgive you, no. What you did, we cant let anything like that happen again."

"What I did wasn't anywhere close to what I should've done! Faggots like him don't deserve to live!" maybe it was his protective nature over the boys or his distain for prejudice, but he wanted nothing more than to just smack the girl in front of him. But then he realized, she was just a girl, barely having reached the age of 16, the hate that she for whatever reason held for people like Zack and Cody probably wasn't her own.

"Bailey. Look at what you did at Zack without bias. Do you think doing that to someone who did nothing wrong, was right?"

"But he did!"

"And what did he do?"

"He's breathing!" he had heard the crack in her voice. "He's sick! For wanting boys like that!" he sighed, he wouldn't be able to reach her no matter how long he stood there, he walked back toward the door but paused.

"You caused a lot of trouble for them. I hope you know that." he walked out of the cabin, not noticing the shaking blonde he left behind.

.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-* To Carey

.

"We apologize for the delay everyone. Due to the weather we will have to make an emergency stop. The weather should clear in about three hours, then we will be back in the air." there was outbreak of groans on flight 7125, Carey felt herself almost relax knowing that she would have more time to think about everything that was going on. It didn't take long after that the plane had made it's emergency stop in a small airport located on the far west of the continent. The passengers of the flight were taken into the airport to wait inside away from the thick storm that covered the skies with dark grey and the frequent flashes of thunder and lightning. The older brunette found the younger blonde who she had been speaking to before they had boarded the plane.

"Wow doesn't this stink?" Carey simply nodded a response and walked with Maddie toward a standard airport food deli in order to get something to settle the groans from their stomachs.

Carey had been able to dodge the subject of the problems that scratched at the edges of her mind, but as the time passed and their time to re-board the plane came closer the subject came rushing back harder and rougher. The more that time passed the more panicked she became, what would she do? What was she to say to them, they were her children, she's raised them alone even when she and Kurt were together. She didn't hear the voices on the speakers, only fuzzed sounds that told her to re-board the plane.
