Hey everyone, sorry I haven't updated in a while, but I was hoping for some more reviews. I actually had this chapter typed up for a while but I was waiting for the right time to post. Then I couldn't really wait anymore so… here it is! ugh, and plus, i was having some problems with my internet too..
(A/N): And btw, in case you guys haven't noticed, this story doesn't have that much to do with its summary. After I started writing, it kind of turned in its own other direction! Sorry if anyone's disappointed, but I will definitely put some more Lance in this story. It may not be right now, but I'll try. I'm not gonna change anything in the summary since I made an author's note, plus it's not as important as the story itself. I couldn't think of anything now so, I just hope you all enjoy this fic for what it's turned out to be. )
DISCLAIMER: Don't own any of this story so far; it's all Disney's.

PREVIOUSLY, ON 'ODD COUPLES 2: MADDIE AND TREVOR' :
Maddie stepped out of the curtain enclosed area and straightened out her sun dress. . She looked perfect; absolutely dazzling, but still looked simple enough to go on a lunch date with a really cute boy. She checked her watch; It read 12:10. He should be here in twenty minutes. She thought to herself.
Maddie found herself waiting for another ten minutes, and her stomach started growling. When a couple of commercials had been played she looked at her watch again and it read 12:32. He doesn't seem like the type to be late. Maddie thought to herself. Well it's only been two minutes, surely I'm overreacting. He'll be here any minute now. After that ten more minutes passed by, and she walked over to the fridge, then she sat down at her little dining table and ate her salad, every few minutes glancing at the wall clock. Before she knew it, it was 12:45. Then it was 12:50, and 1:00. By the time it was half past one o-clock, she didn't feel like waiting anymore.
Maddie tapped on the door of London's suite. She swung open the door from the inside, a little surprised to see a gloomy Maddie standing in her doorway.
"What happened?" London asked.
"… He stood me up." She frowned and slumped lower in the chair.
"Let's go shopping!" London said enthusiastically.
"Why?"
"Because you're sad. Every girl needs to go shopping when she's sad. It's like a rule! Come on" she pulled Maddie's arm.
"What are you thinking so hard about?" Cody said.
"I was thinking about Maddie; and how she's seeing that Trevor guy. I wish there was a way that I could stop her from going out with him."
"I've got a way that Maddie and Trevor won't see each other anymore, and you can score a date with Maddie!" Cody exclaimed.
"This is the uh—false sword that Orlando Bloom used in 'The Pirates Of The Caribbean'!" Zack lied
London screamed again. "How much do you want for it?"
"Well," Cody said "We need your money and your help on this one."
"Maddie!" said London "I personally set you up with a guy for tonight! You are going on a blind date!" She clapped.
"That sounds—great! So, what does he look like?" Maddie wondered.
London had no idea that this guy didn't really exist, never mind what he looked like.
-----------------------------------------
AND NOW, CHAPPIE 7 OF 'ODD COUPLES 2: MADDIE AND TREVOR'
The One with the Frappuccino
"Ok.." London said "You're done!" She clapped and smiled.
The brunette spun Maddie's chair around so she could look in the mirror in front of her. She could only drop her jaw and gasp in disbelief.
Maddie was wearing a reddish purple (or burgundy/maroon I wasn't sure which word to use ha!) evening dress that came right below her knees and complemented her figure. It was slim and strapless with sparkles and rhinestones lining the top of it and the back having an interweave of the same material and the rest of the back open. She also wore a long, gold necklace that hung a little over the top of the dress, and her hair being half up and half down with some pretty twists, curls and glitter. On her wrist she wore a bracelet that matched her chain, and on her feet she fashioned a pair of delicate heels, that were a little bit darker than the color of her dress. Again, she looked absolutely stunning, but only a little more fancy—and pricey for that matter.
"Wh.. wh.. wh—"
"Wow." London finished
"Yeah." said Maddie, still admiring her new evening look.
"..I am so good!" said London, sensibly yet unintentionally ruining the moment for Maddie.
Maddie looked up at her with a look, then went back down to the mirror and patting her beautiful hair.
"Don't you touch it!" London yelled, panicking and slapping Maddie's hand away.
Maddie got scared and sat on her hands. "Sorry"
------------------------------
"I can't believe we got London to help us with this whole date thing!" Cody said to his brother.
"I can't believe that she didn't know it was a plastic sword we got for 99 cents at the comic store! .. and sprayed with cologne!" Zack added.
Cody smiled and nodded his head as he rushed around to help Zack get ready.
"Okay, you cant be dressed in a tux or anything because then Maddie will know that she was set up; but you should definitely wear something appropriate since you're gonna be at dinner with her at this really fancy restaurant."
"Okay, I'm better with simple things anyway.. got it." Zack said, listening intently for a change.
"And remember, you're gonna walk in about 25 minutes after she sits down at the table.. and you better pull off some good acting."
"Say things like, 'I see you're dateless again' and 'I can't believe it' and 'I'll keep you company, what do you want to eat?' " Cody said
"All those things. and don't try too hard Zack, make it really natural. Sometimes you're a horrible actor."
"Thank—Hey!" Zack defended.
"Anyway the limo for Maddie should be here any minute so let's keep an eye on her to see when she leaves and all. Then we'll call her to see when she's actually in the restaurant." Cody said.
"Sounds good."
-----------------------------
"Alright," London said "Your limo is here.."
"I get to ride there in a limo!" Maddie said excitedly
"Uh, hello! Who set up this date? –Remember.."
"Oh my gosh, I'm so excited!" Maddie got ready to go down to the car.
--
"Okay, so we're here." London said. "Your waiter person will bring you to your seat, and your date should be here in a few minutes!" she smiled.
"Okay London, thank you for everything." Maddie said.
"Don't mention it." London said and she walked away.
Maddie sat down at her assigned table for two. She took a look around at this place she was about to eat at. It was truly beautiful and she couldn't stop her eyes from roaming. The more she waited, the more anxious and eager she was to start her date. Then she found herself waiting for five to seven to ten minutes. She checked a clock on the wall and saw how much time had passed by. She was starting to get a little hungry too.
---------------
"Okay, I'm gonna call Maddie's cell phone and find out how long she's been waiting at her table." Cody said, starting to dial a number on the phone at the main desk.
"What are you gonna do, call her up and say, 'hey Maddie, just wondering for no apparent reason, how long have you been sitting at your table at the restaurant—which by the way I had no idea you were there or why?'" Zack said, after which just looking at his brother.
Cody stopped and blinked a few times, "Nooo.. I'm just gonna wing it and make up some stuff to get it out of her!" He said while dialing the rest of the digits.
"Oh," Zack uttered, at first feeling defeated "Good idea!" He now nodded his head violently and smiling. Cody kept looking back and forth to be sure that Moseby didn't catch them using the lobby's phone.
Zack, getting a little closer to Cody so he could hear through the phone receiver, whispered "Is it still ringing?"
Cody nodded his head. He sighed and hung up the phone. "No answer." Zack stood next to him indifferently as Cody thought up another idea.
"I'll call London."
-------------
London's cell phone rang.
"Hello?"
"London it's me, Cody. And Zack's here too. Is Maddie sitting in the restaurant?"
"Yes."
"For how long?"
"I don't know, after I left her I went to buy a frappuccino!"
"But about how many minutes has she been sitting there?"
"Uggh—that's too much math for me!"
"(sigh) Well, are you done with your frappuccino?"
"Almost..."
"Okay thanks, bye London."
---------
"Okay, from what I know, Maddie has been sitting in that restaurant for about ten minutes or more. You still have around 10 to 15 minutes." Cody said to Zack.
"Oh I'm not gonna be able to wait that long! This 'date' is going to take forever before I come in."
"Well," Cody said "Let's just head over to the restaurant and wait outside so we know the right time to walk in---I mean for you to walk in."
---------------
"Is your guest in the restroom, Miss?" the waiter asked Maddie, who was still patiently waiting for her date to arrive.
"No.. He hasn't quite arrived yet." she answered.
"Oh well while you're waiting would you like something to drink?"
"Yes a glass of water would be fine, thank you." Maddie smiled politely.
When the waiter came back to Maddie with her glass of water, she immediately started sipping at it.
When half of the glass was gone, the clock read 7:25 pm. It had been twenty minutes since her date was supposed to meet her. 'Maybe he can't find the right table' she thought.
Maddie stood up and looked around the area of the restaurant she was in. She searched for any guy that seemed to be around her age and sitting by himself. She walked over to one cute guy and said,
"Um, excuse me—are you supposed to be on a blind date right now?" She asked him sweetly.
The boy just stared at her with a look and grabbed his girlfriend who was just walking over to him. She, also, gave Maddie a cold look.
"Oh, I guess—not." Maddie turned on her heel and walked back to her table. She sat and waited for maybe another five minutes. She started to look disappointed.
"Okay, now's your chance. Get in there!" Cody said to his brother, motioning to him.
"Are you sure it's the right time?" Zack said, who had just started to feel a little anxious.
"Yes! Now go, go!" Cody started pushing Zack in the door at this point.
Zack took a couple deep breaths in and out and walked slowly over to Maddie.
"HHHey Maddie" he said.
"Oh, hi Zack." Maddie was definitely sad now. But she picked up her head to look at him.
"Why are you sitting here all by yourself?"
Maddie sighed, "I was supposed to go on a blind date tonight. I got all dressed up and London spent money on makeup and a limo and—this really beautiful restaurant and…
Hey," Maddie started on a new topic "What brings you here Zack?"
"Oh uh—yeah Esteban sent me on an errand to bring a message to one of the chefs or something here. You know me I, practically already forgot." Zack successfully covered up for himself as he laughed a little.
"But, something I didn't forget about.. I uh, heard that your date with Trevor didn't really go well. He didn't show up?" Zack said as he coolly sat down in the seat across from Maddie.
"Yeah.. He stood me up." Maddie sighed again.
"Well don't worry about any of that Maddie, forget about 'whatshisname'. You deserve better." he said.
"Aww, thanks Zack." Maddie said sweetly.
"So, what's going on right now?" Zack went back on track
"Well when me and London got here she told me to go to my table and that my date would be here in a few minutes. That was about a half-an-hour ago. I don't think he's showing up either." Maddie slumped a little and frowned.
"That's horrible, you know that?" Zack said "I can't believe two guys would do this to such a nice, beautiful girl like you."
"And in a matter of one week—"Maddie went on in a daze. "—Did you say I was beautiful?" She said with a smile growing from ear to ear.
"Yeah Maddie, and I meant it. You need somebody who cares about you and would never want to hurt any inch of your body; inside or out. You don't deserve for this to happen to you and if you don't know that, then who else will ever tell you?" Zack said from the bottom of his little heart, and also feeling proud of himself.
Maddie looked at him for a moment. "That is the sweetest thing that anyone has said to me in a long time, Zack." she smiled.
"Let's get some dinner, huh! What do you say? It's on me." Zack said.
"But how will you pa—"
"Don't worry about it. I have a friend who owes me. I don't care as long as it's for you." said Zack, smiling wide.
Maddie smiled as she picked up a menu.
"Okay, order anything you want, as many calories as you want, whatever price range you want Maddie.
Oh waiter! My good man, please come over here!" he called.
The waiter, who had to be at least two feet taller than him, not considering the fact that Zack was sitting, gave him a look, bent down to his level and said, "Yes?"
"I'd like this, this and this." Zack said, pointing to anything random that looked good.
"Would that be a side dish, sir?"
"Whatever!" Zack said as he handed the menu to the waiter over his shoulder.
Maddie ordered her meal and gave in her menu as well.
Zack and Maddie started to talk and laugh. They were having a very good time, when a light-haired, blue eyed boy in a simple blue sweater and jeans stuck his head in the doorway. He stood there, as if he was looking for someone; and when he spotted Maddie and Zack at the table his eyes grew wide. He stepped back and thought a few things to himself, seeming to be very confused and a little hurt. He turned away quickly and walked off, sliding his cell phone into his pocket. Zack and Maddie continued to converse while waiting for their extravagant meals to come.
