Writer's cramp sucks! I am so, so sorry it took me so long to update but here's chapter five and I promise I'll have the next chapter up soon.

Chapter Five

A Waverly Owl knows who can help them get their way

It was finally Halloween and Zach's plan was going into motion. At the Halloween dance, each grade won a crown. The seniors were King and Queen, the juniors were prince and princess, the sophmores were duke and duchess, and the freshmen were baron and baroness. Everyone had been buzzing for weeks about who they thought would win. And one of the most buzzed about stories was how adorable little Maddy and Sean were so going to win the freshmen titles. Not if Zach could help it. He'd hung out with Sean some, and the kid came off as a total loser in Zach's opinion. Maddy was way to good for him. Ava was already with Nick Dawson and even if Zach attempted to get people to out vote her over Maddy, hense placing Ava with a boy other then Nick, Ava would spot what Zach was doing in a heartbeat in stab him in the heart. He had noticed that Hailey always seemed to forget to breath when she was around Sean though. Maybe she could be useful.

"Hey Hailey, wait up!" he called out to her on the walk to lunch.

Hailey spun around, dumbfounded. Zach Ferro had not said a word to her since this moment. And now he all of a sudden was telling her to wait up?

"Can I help you?" she asked him, as he approached her.

"Yeah. You have a crush on Sean, right?"

Hailey's jaw feel to the floor. That basterd!

"So what if I do?"

"Well, Maddy is set to win the baron title along with Sean. Maddy is basically my second sister and I just don't want her with a loser like Sean. I mean... I just don't think they're good together. But you and Sean would be great together!"

Hailey stared at Zach for a very long moment.

"What- What exactly are you asking me?"

"Help me to get more people to vote for you then Maddy at the dance tonight."

Hailey laughed. "You actually think I can beat Maddy? You are out of your mind Ferro-"

"You can come with me and my family to our Maui house at New Years."

Hailey froze. She had never been to Maui, her parents weren't big tropical people. And Sean was inviting her?

"All right. It's a deal."

"Happy Halloween Waverly!" Senior class president Sophie Audley shouted into the microphone. "The teachers just finished counting the ballots so lets crown our royal family!"

"Oh my god Maddy, you are sooo going to win!" Lexi Mathers squealed, her little red curls flopping all over. Maddy tried not to roll her eyes. She was right, Maddy was sooo going to win. But Lexi annoyed the hell out of her.

"Thanks Lexi," she said cooley, impertinently tapping her foot, wondering what was taking them so long. Everyone knew that it was a popularity contest anyway, so why couldn't she just go up there and take the crown right now?

Zach watched Maddy from his table, wondering if she'd blew up. Because when Maddy blew up she was scary.

"Okay, lets get started!" Sophie yelled out to the crowd. "The baron is… Sean McCafferty!"

The whole crowd howled as Sean kissed Maddy and ran up to the stage.

"Congratulations Sean!" said Sophie, as Sean put on the crown. "And the baroness is… Ava Ferro!"

What?!

Ava looked like she'd just had the floor pulled up from under her. She awkwardly moved to the stage, too shocked to look at Nick. And Sean. This would be fun.

"Congrats Ava!" said Sophie, as Ava put on her crown. She saw Sophie glancing at her and Sean. "Don't they make such a cute couple?"

Everyone laughed and clapped. Sean and Ava both put on happy faces, smiling at their admirers. What the hell!? This was so not fair! She was supposed to be with Sean, not Ava! And why the hell were they looking so comfortable?

Zach was not sure what he was feeling. Judging from the expression on Maddy face, it certainly looked like she wanted nothing more to do with Sean. But now Ava was with him? Huh. Their mom was not going to be happy about this. But if anyone was going to get screwed it was her, not him!

Maddy didn't hear the names that Sophie was calling. She'd already ran out of the room, tears flooding her eyes, wanting nothing more then to go home where she could watch old Disney movies with Lily, paint pictures with her dad, and make smoothies with as much fruit and berries as she wanted with her mom. How the fuck had things gone down hill so fucking fast? It just wasn't fair!!!

Ava had seen Maddy storm out of the gym and part of her had been tempted to race after her and explain. But a larger part of her knew that that was something she simply could not do. She'd been raised to never be the first to leave a party- and if that was what her parents had done as kids she sure as hell wasn't going to do something that would make them cooler then her. So she stayed and danced for the last two hours of the dance with Sean. She'd seen Nick glaring at her with a kind of hurt look. Oh, well. Their "relationship" had been nothing but making out. She wasn't even sure she'd ever really considered him an actual boyfriend. And either way Sean was way, way to good of a kisser to ever leave.

Maddy was furiously writing in her diary as Ava stepped into the room, a huge, happy smile on her face. What the fuck was wrong with her?!

"Missed you at the rest of the party Av."

Missed you? Missed you?! Not sorry that I stole your boyfriend?

"What the hell is wrong with you? Sean was my boyfriend!"

"You are really taking this too seriously Av."

"Taking it too seriously? YOU STOLE MY BOYFRIEND!"

"Maddy, it was only a matter of time before you two broke up. You guys had way to much pressure to be the perfect couple. Now you can relax."

Ava seriously wanted to leave the room because Maddy knew that she was seconds from tearing her head off.

"Good night Av." she said simply, crawling under the covers and falling asleep.

Maddy stared at her ridiculously gorgeous head of black hair, her slim form looking far too innocent. She was very tempted to cut all that hair off her head. But that would be stooping to her level. And that, no matter how tempting it was to do, was something that a Walsh simply did not do.
