RANDOM QUOTE OF THE DAY: 'If I fall, will you catch me?'

'Go for it.'

-Smallville, Tom Welling and Allison Mack

'How am I ever gonna do this? He's supposed to pick me up in my room at 12:30. I really don't want to blow him off. Even politely canceling on him wouldn't seem right. This was my chance! There's got to be a way…'

Maddie just stood there, rolling her eyes, breathing and thinking for a minute. The only thing she could think of was to get someone to cover.

"London!" Maddie dashed as soon as she spotted the glamorous brunette with her nose in the air step out of the elevator.

"Oh, hi Maddie!" London said, having the usual 'Im rich and you love me, yay me!' grin on her face.

"Listen," Maddie started "I really need your help."

"Sure, anything!"

"I'm going out to lunch with Trevor today and I didn't realize that I had to work an extra shift at the candy counter. Will you cover for me?"

"Sure, anything… but that!" said London, shooting Maddie down.

"Oh come on London!"

"No, I will not stand around at a counter filled with sugar and fat, waiting for someone to come along and give me some money that I already have! … And deffinately not in that outfit." She said, pointing at Maddie's clothes and eyeballing her up and down quickly.

Maddie sighed and slumped over. "Okay London, thanks anyway." she said, a little upset.

"—Hey Maddie, wait!" London said "Going out with that cutie Trevor, huh?" She smiled

"Yeah" Maddie smiled widely, his image showing in her head.

London smiled back. "I'm sure you're happy, good for you!"

"Thanks Lon—"

"Wait a minute." London interrupted. "You're not going… like that are you?" She said with a look on her face, pointing to Maddie's outfit again.

Maddie sighed "No London, of course not."

"Good.."

"Buh-bye now" Maddie waved to London and turned away.

But Maddie still had to think of something, and at the moment, there was only one name that was sure to work…

' Zack! '

-------------------------

"Ohh Zaaaaackk.." Maddie called in a sing-song voice.

"Yes, my love" Zack responded, attending to her immediately with a smile on his face.

"How would you like to do me a big favor?"

"Would I like to?" Zack said "What do you need?"

"I need someone to cover my evening shift at the candy counter this afternoon—"

"Well, I can be that someone babay." Zack said.

"Where you going this fine afternoon?"

"Oh, I'm going on a date with Trevor."

Zack was a little disappointed. His mood suddenly changed and he said, "Oh… well you know, now that I think of it, I have uh, something to do today. Sorry.."

"Really?" Maddie said, surprised, since Zack always did anything for her.

"Yeah, I just remembered. I cant. Sorry.." It killed Zack to let Maddie down, but he didn't want her to go on that date.

"See ya" He said sounding kind of upset, and he walked away.

"Yeah… see ya.." Maddie replied.

She turned on her heel as she cought Cody walking towards her. "Cody! Oh I'm so glad I cought you."

"Yupp, you cought me alright, red handed!" Cody said, trying to be amusing.

Maddie laughed a little.

"What's up?" he said.

"I'm going out this afternoon and I need someone to cover my shift at the candy counter. Will you help?"

"Mm.. sorry Maddie I can't. I'm going to see a movie with Urma."

"With Urma? You two are back together?" Maddie asked, developing a smile.

"Uh-huh." Cody nodded and smiled. "She only liked him for his puca shells." he whispered.

"Ohh" Maddie said "Did she shave that mustache yet?" She said teasingly, poking Cody with her elbow.

Cody just looked at her.

"So I'll see you later then!" and she walked on.

"Arwin! .. Arwin Arwin"

"That's me! Who said it?" Arwin spun around.

"It was me Arwin."

"Oh, hi Maddie. How ya doin?"

"Actually I have a little bit of a headache and I'm pretty hungry—but anyways, I'm okay!" she said getting off track.

Arwin looked at her and blinked.

"So—I need a favor and I was wondering if you could help me this once."

"Well it kinda depends on what the favor is." said Arwin.

"Can you cover my shift at the candy counter this afternoon?" She asked hopingly.

"Oh I'm sorry Maddie I wish I could help but—"

"UUUUUUGGHHHHH!" Maddie stormed out and into the lobby before Arwin could even give an alibi. She plopped herself down on a sofa and rested her chin in her palm. She let a large exhale out, blowing her bangs up in the air. Then Zac walked over.

"Hey Maddie. Did you find a fill-in to help you with your shift yet?"

"No." Maddie replied disappointedly.

"Oh, well that's too bad. So I guess you won't be going out on that date, huh?"

"I .. I guess not." Maddie said, just realizing this, and still kind of depressed.

Zac smiled at his success, but then looked at Maddie's face. He didn't want to see her hurt. All he could do was walk out.

Maddie looked at her watch, a little lazily. '11:40' She sighed. 'What's the use? Even if I were to find someone in the next twenty minutes, I would still need an extra twenty or more to get ready!'

Maddie rolled her eyes again. Then London walked over and sat down next to her. "What's the matter?"

"I still didn't find anyone to cover my shift for me and now I cant go on my luch date with Trevor." Maddie said, feeling a little too familiar with this problem.

"Well that's no problem, I cant just pay someone to do it for you." London said, indifferently.

Maddie all of a sudden thought she heard a nun's ringtone coming from nowhere. At the same time, she was so angry that neither of them had thought of that before!

"That's got to be the best idea I've heard all day!" Maddie said, sitting up straight.

"I can believe that." said London

"But.. are you sure you don't mind?"

"No! Don't worry about it. I was gonna throw this money out anyway."

"Oh my gosh, London I love you!"

"I know!" London said, clapping a little.

"But, can you help me find someone to do it? I mean, I feel like I already asked everyone in this hotel!" Maddie said.

London held her index finger out in front of Maddie's face. She flipped open her cell phone and dialed a number. Then Maddie heard her say,

"Yes, I need you to come to the Tipton Hotel immediately. Thank you." London flipped her phone closed in one hand and smiled at Maddie.

She just stared at London in awe.

"I wish I had such power."

London leaned over and whispered, "It's okay, everybody does." She tapped Maddie's shoulder and walked off.

Maddie then excitedly headed to the elevator. Walking out of it was Zack, and he said to her,

"Hey! You look.. a lot better!" he said this, a little confused.

"I know, I was so stressed but London is paying one of her people to come and work my shift! Now I can go on my date!" She smiled

"Oh! That's… just great" He tried to seem enthusiastic about it. Again he felt like he had been stomped on.

He turned around and watched as Maddie waved and the elevator doors converged.

"Have fun"
