Disclaimer: I only own this plot, not The Suite Life.
Plot: Zack eats an apple that had a worm living in it earlier, and Maddie cancels her graduation party to be with him. Meanwhile, Cody becomes the school bully's lawyer and is happy till he finds out he must sue himself, and London tries out for a movie.
Notes: I am assuming that Maddie and London had two years left of high school and therefore they are eighteen, and the twins are fourteen and a half. Maddie is still working at the candy counter, and London is still a heiress. Carey Martin is still the singer at the Tipton Hotel.

Maddie, London, Cody, and Carey stood beside Zack's bed in the hospital, waiting for the doctor to return. Maddie was frowning; she had never seen Zack weak before. Cody's face was scrunched up like he was trying to block his tears. The doctor walked into the room and held his clipboard up.
"He'll be fine. A worm was living in the apple he ate." The doctor informed. Cody frowned and thought about the last time Zack had eaten anything healthy. And then it hit him: he had given Zack an apple and forced him to eat it.
"Anyways, Mr. Martin will only be in here for a few weeks, possibly a few months if his results keep coming out funny." The doctor scratched his white head and gestured for the group to leave the room. Cody couldn't look at Zack and left silently.
Meanwhile, Zack had been lying awake with his eyes closed. He would be expected to talk to everybody and that was the last thing he wanted to do. He wanted Cody to come back with videogames and comic books. He wanted Maddie to bring the most expensive candy bar and give it to him for free. He wanted London to- wait, London wouldn't do anything.
"You're not asleep, are you?" A boy in a bed on the right side of Zack said softly. Zack looked over at the pale blond boy. He had wires attached to him and big machines nurses rolled in and out of the room.
"No, I just don't want to talk to them." Zack replied. The boy looked as if he understood and relaxed his head against his pillow.
"What happened to you?" He asked. Zack remembered the apple.
"I ate a poisonous apple. What about you?" He asked the boy.
"Freak Advil accident. My name is Evan, but people just call me Ev." The boy explained.
"I'm tired." Zack fell asleep.

Maddie sat on a couch in the hotel lobby with a large binder sitting on her lap. A list of names had been scribbled down and lists of restaurants were listed. London walked over and saw her name on the list.
"Why is my name on there?" She asked. Maddie looked up at the heiress. She was wearing long hair extensions and a glittery pink top. She was wearing jeans that cost more than Maddie's whole outfit.
"You're name is on there because I'm inviting you to my graduation party." Maddie said to her. London held a hand to her heart.
"Aw, Maddie, that is so sweet. I'm so going." Maddie noticed that London was carrying around the A Love To Remember script.
"So, how are the auditions coming along?" She asked.
"For your party?" London's brow furrowed.
"No, silly, for the movie."
"There's a movie at your party? And I get to be in it?"
"No, for the movie- A Love To Remember."
"Oh, the auditions are for next week. But I'm having trouble getting into character." She complained.
"I can help." Together, the girls read through the lines, not noticing Cody carrying a large briefcase through the lobby and into the elevator. Mr. Moseby walked over to Maddie and stood there for a while, tapping his foot. London looked up at him.
"Can I help you?" She asked.
"No, the question is, who is going to help these customers. Madeline, get back on the job and serve these people!" Mr. Moseby should have been relaxed, knowing the rowdiest of the twins was away, but he seemed tenser than ever. Maddie stood up and brushed herself off. She carried her binder over to the candy counter and offered a chocolate bar to a family.

Cody slammed the briefcase down on the kitchen table and took out a bunch of papers. His mother walked into the room and frowned.
"What are all the papers for?" She asked him.
"I'm Lance Earls lawyer!" Cody exclaimed.
"Isn't that the kid that Zack calls the 'half-bully'?" Carey asked.
"Yes! And I get to sue people for walking all over him, write restraining orders and defend him in court!" Cody was bubbling with excitement. He snapped a dorky suspender strap and flipped through his papers.
"Well, it's a good way to take your mind off your brother." Mrs. Martin. She walked away as Cody began writing out restraining order numbers on a piece of paper. First was Johnny Jacobs, the real school bully. He had been held back at least three times and was a big and strong as the Hulk. He scribbled out a few words before he looked to the fridge where a new group of apples sat.

Maddie finished her invitations that night. She looked down at the glittery slips of paper just waiting to be admired. She was sitting on her bed at her house, waiting for her parents to come home. Her sister and her husband were at the baseball game across the street, and she suddenly felt a craving for peanuts.
"It's late, Madeline." Maddie's mom walked into the room.
"It's ten o'clock." Maddie rolled her eyes at her mothers' old-fashioned ways. Reluctantly she climbed under the soft covers and put her hand to the lamp switch.
"Did you visit that boy today?"
"No, I was at school until four and then made these invites." Maddie said.
"You should tomorrow. Bring him a comic book." Maddie sighed and looked across the room at the invites one more time. Tomorrow, they would be out of her hands.
