Chapter Three : Roommates

Quail Harbor

"How much longer do you think it'll be?" CeCe asked her friend. Rocky looked down at the watch on her arm.

"Another two minutes." Rocky replied.

CeCe picked up her suitcase and heard a light grunting sound. "That's odd." CeCe noted.

"What is?" Rocky asked, picking up her own luggage.

"I thought I heard...a grunt coming from inside my suitcase." CeCe explained. Rocky rolled her eyes and shook her head.

"Don't be ridiculous, CeCe."

"But..." CeCe's tone was completely serious. "I heard it."

Rocky opened her mouth to reply but was stopped by the boat approaching the harbor. Rocky grabbed her luggage and boarded the ship. CeCe stayed behind, staring at her suitcase.

"Come on, CeCe!" Rocky exclaimed. CeCe grabbed her luggage and boarded the ship.

As they boarded the ship, a young boy with blonde hair approached them.

"May I take your luggage?" The boy asked.

"Oh, of course." CeCe and Rocky handed the boy their luggage.

"Wow, that's heavy." The boy grunted. "Oh, by the way, my name is Zack."

Zack winked at them before walking away.

"He's cute." CeCe remarked.

"I suppose." Rocky replied.

With Zack...

"The one upside to working on this lousy ship is getting to carry luggage for cute girls!" Zack grumbled to himself and reached CeCe and Rocky's cabin.

Tossing the luggage into the room, and ignoring the loud grunt that came from the luggage, Zack shut the door and left.

As soon as Zack had left, the zipper on CeCe's suitcase unzipped and Tinka Hessenheffer stepped outside. Tinka turned to Rocky's suitcase and undid the zipper on that one. Stepping outside of Rocky's suitcase was her twin brother, Gunther.

"Ugh!" Gunther brushed some dust off of his sweater. "What a great idea that was, sister." Gunther spat sarcastically.

"Well, what else was I supposed to do?" Tinka snapped, glaring at her brother.

"Anything other than that idiotic plan." Gunther retorted.

The two immediatly stopped their arguing when they heard footsteps approaching. "Hide!" Gunther mouthed to Tinka. The two dived under the two bunkbeds.

"This is your cabin." Zack's voice could be heard from the other end of the room. The doorknob started to jiggle as Zack unlocked it. Zack opened it and in walked Rocky, CeCe and two other girls.

"This is wonderful!" One of the girls remarked. She had chestnut hair and was wearing a peculiar dress with fruit on it.

"It's not too great, Harper." One of the girls lazily walked over the bunkbed which Tinka was hiding under and sat on it. Tinka stifled a groan from the weight being pressed onto her back.

"Oh come on, Alex!" Harper began to bounce a little on the bed. Tinka nearly felt sick to her stomach.

Luckily, Harper got off the bed and turned to Rocky and CeCe. "So who are you two?" Harper asked.

CeCe stepped forwards first. "I'm CeCe Jones. You might know me. I'm a dancer on the show, Shake It Up Chicago."

Harper shook her head. "Never heard of it." Harper replied.

Rocky stepped forward. "My name is Rocky Blue. I'm also from Shake It Up Chicago. Me and CeCe are partners."

All three of the girls glanced at Alex who was lazily scratching her arm. "What?" Alex asked. Harper elbowed Alex in the ribs. "Oh! My name is Alex Russo. This is my best friend, Harper Finkle."

"Finkle?" CeCe stifled a chuckle. "What a..." She stopped after seeing the look on Harper's face. "...wonderful last name."

CeCe sat on the bunkbed Tinka was under and Rocky sat next to her. Alex and Harper sat on the bunkbed which Gunther was under.

"So, why are you guys here?" Rocky asked.

"Summer school." Alex groaned. "What about you?"

"We were invited to perform here." CeCe explained. "We might actually get to meet Austin Moon and Hannah Montana!"

"Austin Moon?" Alex asked. "Who is he, again?"

"That kid who made a video of himself singing." Harper explained.

"Lots of people do that." Alex rolled her eyes.

Suddenly, a loud grunt was heard from under Harper and Alex's bunkbed. The two got off and lifted up the bed to reveal a very nauseous Gunther Hessenheffer.

"Gunther!" CeCe exclaimed. Rocky lifted up their own bunkbed to reveal Tinka hidden underneath.

"Who are those two?" Harper asked, pointing at Gunther and Tinka.

"I am Gunther!" Gunther exclaimed stepping forwards.

"And I am Tinka!" Tinka joined him.

"And we are the Hessenheffers!" The two exclaimed together. Harper covered her ears.

"We should report you to Moseby." Alex smirked at the twins shuddering. "I'm sure he doesn't take kindly to stowaways."

"No!" The twins exclaimed together. "Please!"

"We will do anything you want!" Gunther exclaimed.

"Yes, anything!" Tinka joined him.

"Anything?" Rocky raised an eyebrow.

Within a few moments, Tinka had changed into a maid outfit and was now dusting the furniture in their cabin. A small bed made up of an air matress, a shower curtain and an old pillow lay in the corner.

"What about me?" Gunther asked.

"We have something better in mind for you." CeCe replied, a smirk on her face.

Cabin 305

A tall, skinny blonde boy unlocked their door for them. Austin smiled at the boy and handed him a five dollar bill.

The boy smiled and replied. "Oh, that won't be necessary. Me and my brother don't get paid. We just get to stay on the ship."

"Wow." Austin seemed amazed at this. "So, what's your name."

"Cody." The boy responded before leaving the room.

Austin and Dez stood for a few moments, examining the room before the door slammed open and an angry Gunther Hessenheffer stormed into the room, carrying a pink and glittery suitcase.

"Who are you?" Dez asked the obiviously angry Gunther.

"I am Gunther." Gunther snarled angrily.

"What's your problem?" Austin asked.

"I am being forced to work on this ship." Gunther replied. "I must serve smoothies at the smoothie bar." Gunther growled and shuddered at this.

"What's wrong with that?" Dez asked. "I bet Trish would love to work there. I'm surprised she doesn't already have a job there."

"I came here to perform!" Gunther exclaimed. "I did not come here to ruin my new designer clothes with...slushie!" Gunther shuddered at the last word.

Austin opened his mouth to respond when the door slammed open.

Carl and Porter walked into the room. Carl placed his suitcase on the lower bunk of a bunkbed while Porter climbed up the ladder and placed his suitcase on the bunk on top of Carl's.

"Hello." Carl had turned the two and begun to unpack his suitcase.

"Hey." Austin gave the two boys a small wave before taking out his guitar case.

"You play?" Porter asked, noticing Austin's guitar.

"Yeah." Austin replied. "Haven't you heard of me?"

"No." Porter shook his head. "We don't even know your name."

"You should recognize him by his face alone!" Dez cut in. "He's Austin Moon! He became an overnight internet sensation after posting a video of himself singing online. The video was filmed by me."

"Wait." Carl seemed to stop and think. "You're that kid who sang that song? I can't remember what it was called."

"The song was called Double Take." Austin seemed a little annoyed that Carl didn't know anything about him. "And I was on the Helen Show."

"Never seen it." Porter shook his head and began unpacking his suitcase.

"What about you?" Austin turned to Gunther, who had been surprisingly silent.

"Yes!" Gunther ran towards Austin and grabbed both of Austin's hands. "You are Austin Moon!" Gunther placed his hands onto Austin's shoulders and gripped them tightly. "I am your biggest fan!"

Austin's face was a mix of confusion and confidence. Austin tried to shake off Gunther as Gunther continued to ramble about how big of a fan he was.

Finally, Gunther let go of Austin and took out an air matress. Gunther proceded to set up his bed.

The blonde boy, Zack, opened the door to their room and began unpacking his suitcase on a vacant bunkbed.

The boys awkwardly looked at Zack before Zack finally noticed them and remarked. "This ship has some mighty cute girls, doesn't it?"

The boys all looked at each other.

"You mean Ally?" Austin asked.

"Who's Ally?" Zack asked. Austin's face went red as Zack stared at him for a few minutes. "Hey, I know you! You're Austin Moon!"

"Yeah!" Austin exclaimed, happy that somebody actually knew who he was. "You saw my video?"

"No." Zack snorted. "My ex-girlfriend made me watch it."

Just as Austin opened his mouth to respond, a boy who looked identical to Zack walked into the room. The boy's hair was a little neater than Zack's and was much skinnier than Zack.

"Greetings, roommates." The boy spoke in a sophisticated and polite tone. "My name is Zack." the boy known as Cody pointed to Zack. "That's my twin brother, Zack."

"Yeah, we know." Porter shrugged lazily lying down on his bed.

On The Main Deck...

"But, sir!" Jane protested to the man in front of her. "I have a ticket! I just lost it!"

"You?" The man asked. "Lose a ticket? From what I've heard you're one of the most organized students in the school, Miss Casey."

"But, Mr. Moseby!" Jane protested. "Surely you could let me stay? I did sign up for this trip and the boat left Blowfish Harbor over two hours ago."

Mr. Moseby let out a long sigh before speaking. "Very well, Jane. But I am afraid you will have to work as a waitress serving drinks to customers and refilling our buffet tables."

"Great!" Jane exclaimed, shaking Mr. Moseby's hand.

A Few Feet Away

A girl and her mother were hugging goodbye. The two spoke with thick western accents. "Now, sweetie. You just tell me if you get homesick." The mother sniffled as she hugged her daughter goodbye.

"I'll be alright, Ma." The girl let out a laugh. "I came here to learn and see the world."

"Bye, Bailey!" The mother left the ship, but not before giving Bailey a kiss on the forehead.

As soon, as her mother left, Bailey looked around and dashed into a nearby washroom.

Taking off her pink sweater, she took a hoodie out of her backpack and put that on. Taking out a hair tie from her bag, she tied her hair into a tight bun and then took a black baseball cap out of her bag and placed it on top of her head. She stood in front of the mirror.

"Yo." She tried using a deep voice. It seemed convincing enough so she left the washroom. A few people looked at her strangely because she had just left the girl's washroom.

Here is Chapter 3!

I realized that I hadn't given Jane or Bailey any time yet so I decided to devote a portion of this chapter to them.

Hopefully, in the next chapter, Bailey and Jane will get their roommates along with Justin, Zeke and Max.

I hope you enjoy this chapter!
