Sorry it's been a while guys, classes are kicking my butt still! But today, I stayed home sick (damn stomach bug!) and decided to do some writing. Took me literally all day, but hey, better late than never, right?

Well, this one should be good. I hope.

"Miss Pickett," Mr. Moseby said, two big, burly security officers behind him. "We need to search your room."

"What? Why?!" Bailey asked, standing in her doorway, arms crossed.

"We will remove you Miss if we have to," one of the guards grumbled, making her glare at him.

"It's my room. I don't have to let you in if I don't want to."

"Miss Pickett," Mr. Moseby said again, making her groan.

"Fine!" she exclaimed, lifting her arms in aggravation. "I don't know what's going on, but search away," she said, stepping out of the way. She leaned against the wall, arms crossed again, a frown on her face. "I don't know what you're looking for, but whatever it is, you won't find it."

"Sir," one of the guards said, reaching into an open drawer and pulling out a long, silver studded diamond necklace. "This it?"

"Yes," Mr. Moseby said, turning to Bailey, who was staring at the necklace with her mouth agape. "Bailey, how did this necklace come to be in your drawer?"

"I-I don't know!" she cried out, making him shake his head.

"Guards, please escort Miss Pickett out of this room and into my office for holding until we get to land. Then, she will be escorted off the boat and sent home."

"WHAT?!" Bailey screamed as a guard gripped her by each arm and dragged her out of the room. "YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! I AM THE BEST STUDENT ON THIS SHIP! WITHOUT ME YOU HAVE NOTHING! NOOOOOOTHING!"

Mr. Moseby shook his head as he pocketed the necklace and closed the door to the room. Turning, he found London staring at him.

"Did you find it?" she asked desperately, making him nod and pull it out of his pocket. As he handed it to her, a look of relief crossed her face. "Thank you," she murmured, slipping it over her neck. "I hope Bailey will be punished for what she did."

"She will. At our next stop, she will be removed from the boat and sent back home."

"Thank you," she said, taking a deep breath. "And to show my appreciation for your help, I will pay for Bailey's ticket back to HickTown or wherever she's from."

"That's very nice of you London," he said, giving her a tired smile. "I'm sorry Bailey has been such a bother for you."

"Oh it's okay Moseby," London said, her usual airy tone coming back to her voice as she stared at him, eyes wide. "I always saw her for what she was. It just took everyone a little longer, that's all." He nodded at her and she smiled. "Really though, thank you, for everything." He nodded again and left her alone. Smiling to herself and humming, she went back to her now single room.

...

Cody was sitting at Zack's cluttered desk, trying to do some homework, when he felt arms wrap around him.

"Yes?" he asked his brother, not looking up from his notebook, even as the arms tightened and feather-light kisses were brushed over his neck and up the side of his face. "Zack, I'm doing homework," he muttered, trying to ignore the tingling that was spreading over his skin. "Zaaaack."

"Come on Codes," Zack said, tugging on Cody's arm, to no avail. Cody looked at him and sighed.

"Zack, what part of homework don't you understand?"

"All of it," Zack chuckled in his ear before pressing a kiss to it. "Come on Codes, we haven't spent any us time in a while."

"And I don't plan to," Cody said, eyes going back to his work.

"What?! Why not?!"

"Because, ever since we began… this-"

"Say it. Say 'dating' with me. Date-ing." Cody rolled his eyes and sighed.

"Ever since this started, I've been neglecting my coursework. If I'm going to get into a good college, then I have to start buckling down." Zack backed away and frowned. Cody noticed this and turned to look at him. "What?"

"College…" he muttered, looking at his now clasped hands.

"What about it?"

"If you go off to college… we won't see each other anymore." Cody frowned at the tone of his voice and moved to sit next to him.

"Hey," Cody said softly, turning Zack's face to look at him; he wouldn't meet his eyes though. "Just because I go off to college doesn't mean we won't be together anymore. I'll still come home for vacations and summer breaks and stuff." Zack shook his head and fell back on the bed. "Zack."

"Codes… what's that mean for us though?"

"Zack," Cody said, laying down to him linking their hands together. "It'll be okay, okay?"

"How do you know?"

"Because we care about each other. This has to work out because we have a bond stronger than anyone else could imagine," he said softly, making Zack smile.

"I love you Codes," he said, leaning up to press a kiss to his lips.

"I love you too Zack."

…

Mr. Moseby was walking down the hall when he remembered what London had said about Bailey bothering Zack and Cody as well. Changing his course, he began to head towards Zack room in hopes of finding them both. He had noticed that they had been spending more time together since the whole Bailey incident, which he thought was good for them.

They needed each other.

When he got to Zack's door, he found it to be opened slightly. Frowning at this, he pushed it open and felt his mouth drop open.

"Zackary and Cody Martin, what the HELL are you two doing?!"

…

Oh shit! What did Mr. Moseby just see!?

Guess we'll just have to wait and see, won't we?

Thanks for reading.
