Somehow, Bailey found her way back at the boutique where this mess had all started. She checked to be sure... yep. The logo was still a P. This was still the S.S. Picket. This weird, alternate reality was still happening.

Bailey couldn't hold the tears in any longer. Despite the stares she got from other shoppers and employees, she ran into the nearest dressing room, shutting and locking the door behind her. She leaned against the wall, sliding to the floor, crying. She hid her face in her hands.

"I don't want this- I miss things the way they were-" she said, whispering to herself. "When my parents were together- when London was the dumb one- back when I had Cody- I miss my life... I want my old life back..."

She cried and cried, and after an hour, she realized no one was coming to her rescue. She was all alone. There was no going back. She was stuck in this new life. She wiped the tears off of her cheeks and then exited the dressing room.

She saw Cody looking around the boutique before he saw her. Once he did see her, he smiled. "Bailey!" he said, running towards her. She stopped, allowing him to hug her. "There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you."

"Why?"

"I got worried. Haven't heard from you all day! I was scared you might have fallen off the ship."

"I'm fine..." Bailey lied. "Shouldn't you be getting back to London?"

"London? Why would I be 'getting back to London'? Let's see, it's..." Cody checked his watch. "Four o'clock. That means London is currently counting her cash, and will tune out what everyone else says for the next six hours... who knew she could count that high?"

"Wait-" Bailey said. She looked past Cody, seeing the logo on the check out counter at the boutique. A T. The S.S. Tipton!

"I'm back!" she said, grinning. "I'm actually back!"

This time, Bailey threw her arms around Cody's neck, hugging him, and catching him by surprise. "Where did you go?"

"Cody-" Bailey said, stepping back. "I don't know... it was all so strange... like a dream..."

Maybe everything was a dream. A day dream.

Either way, she learned that sometimes, dreams come true can turn out to be nightmares in disguise. She learned that sometimes, happily ever afters aren't so far away. They are right underneath your nose.

Bailey graduated, and attended Harvard with Cody. They got married right out of college, and had twins. A girl named Alexis and a boy named Mitchell.

Never once, in the rest of her life, did Bailey ever complain about the life. Even when struggles came, she was always thankful for the life she had. For the parents she had, and for the friends that guided and encouraged her along the way.

The End

Sorry it's such a cheesy ending. :P
