Cody and Zack parted as if in slow motion, Zack looking freaked out for once while Cody held a look of stony aggravation that didn't seem right on his face.

"Hello Mr. Moseby," Cody said as he met the older man's eyes. "Can we help you with something?" He sputtered and waved his hands in confusion. Finally, he found his voice.

"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU TWO DOING?!" Cody rolled his eyes and stood up, squaring his shoulders.

"Doing exactly what you saw. Kissing,"he said in a bored tone; Zack had never seen his brother like this.

"You can't do that! You're brothers! It's wrong!"

"Oh you wanna talk about wrong Marion?" he asked Mr. Moseby, eyes burning. "Let me tell you about wrong. Wrong is lusting after a 17 year old girl." Mr. Moseby floundered at Cody's words.

"Wh-what are you talking about?" Cody smirked and moved closer to the older man.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about Moseby. Now, I'll keep your secret if you keep ours. Deal? Because I'm sure yours would get you in a hell of a lot more trouble than ours would get us." Mr. Moseby couldn't believe he was being blackmailed by Cody of all people! He swallowed his dry tongue and nodded.

"Very well Mr. Martin," he said, becoming very professional, although his eyes held the confusion he felt. "I just came in here to inform you two that Miss Pickett will no longer be on this boat. When we reach our next destination, she will be removed."

"Thanks Moseby," Cody said, a light smile coming to his face. The older man just nodded stiffly and hurried from the room. Cody made sure the door was locked before he sat down next to his brother, who still looked confused.

"What the hell just happened?" Cody snickered and lied down.

"I found out about a … hobby of Mr. Moseby's is all."

"Which was…?" Cody shook his head and smiled.

"Like I'm telling you so you can make his life a living hell. It's already bad enough that I know. No way am I putting him in the hell of us both knowing." Zack smiled and pulled Cody to him.

"Where were we then?"

...

The next day, the boat docked. Cody got up early from Zack's warm embrace to go say goodbye to Bailey. He found her locked in the Infirmary, seething.

"Bailey," he said, making her look at him in anger. "We've docked."

"I've noticed. My plane leaves in a few hours, so they're keeping me in here until then. I didn't do anything though!" she cried out, pacing. Cody watched her and shook his head.

"What do they think you did then?"

"They think I stole a necklace from London! Someone framed me! I'd think it was the airhead heiress but she's too stupid for own good."

"London is a lot smarter than you give her credit for." Bailey just rolled her eyes.

"Yeah right. And I'm the tooth fairy."

"Better get a better costume then." She leered at him and he smiled. "Why so hostile?"

"Everyone turned against me Cody! Even you! I thought we loved each other."

"That was before you tried to kill me."

"It was an accident Cody!"

"Whatever."

"Ugh, you sound so much like your stupid brother!"

"Don't call him stupid! He's the only one on this damn boat that actually cares about me. Unlike you."

"He can never love you like I do." Cody met Bailey's eyes and he just turned to walk away. "I hope you're happy with the decisions you've made!"

He stopped in his tracks and looked at her, eyes revealing his shock. She just smiled sadly. "Goodbye Cody."

"Goodbye Bailey."

…

"Did you frame Bailey?"

"Yep," London said, popping the 'p'.

"Why?"

"Because she was a nuisance and bothering everyone. Sheesh, for a smart guy you're kinda dumb sometimes." Cody was silent as he thought about that.

In short, London had done something for someone else instead of herself.

"Thanks London," he said, making her smile at him.

"What are friends for?"

…

When Cody returned to Zack's room, he found Zack holding an envelope in his hands.

"What's that?" he asked, making Zack shake his head. "Zack." Zack just dropped the envelope on the bed and went into the bathroom. Cody eyed it and finally picked it.

It was addressed to Zack.

From Stanford University.

Pulling out the letter, his jaw dropped.

"Zack!" he exclaimed, knocking on the door. "Zack let me in! We have to talk about this." Zack opened the bathroom door an inch, peeking out. "Why didn't you tell me you did this?" Zack shrugged, making Cody smiled. "Zack, this is great!" Zack blushed and opened the door, only for Cody to launch himself in his arms.

"I just… I didn't think I would even… Codes, I got in."

"I saw that," Cody said, looking at the letter again. "This is like the 5th top college in the United States. Zack, this is amazing. You have to call mom and tell her." Zack smiled and Cody kissed him. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I knew you were applying so I thought what the hell. I didn't think I'd actually get in."

"But you did."

"Hey Cody!" Cody and Zack turned to hear a loud knocking on the door and Woody's loud voice. "You got some mail!" Cody hurried to the door and pulled it open. Woody smiled and handing him an envelope similar to Zack's. Cody ripped it open and read the words as fast as possible. He turned to Zack with a huge smile on his face.

"Did you…?"

"Looks like we're going to college together after all."

…

Gasp! Is this… the end?

It might be… I don't know if there's anywhere else I can go with it…

Maybe an epilogue? What do ya'll think?
