Hey! Welcome Back to 'Odd Couples 2: Maddie And Trevor'!
This portion of the chapter is being used to celebrate
the TENTH(10th) chapter of the story!
(It's almost like an anniversary! LOL.)
So far, this fic has come a pretty long way, and there's still more to come!
In honor of the first two-digit chapter in the story,
A CONTEST WILL BE HELD!
Okay this is probably a sucky contest, but bear with me, LOL.
It's going to be a vote, and there are two questions.
1. Should I go on with the idea of Lance trying to win Maddie back,
or should I just make him sort of an obstacle for Trevor?
2. Should Zack be okay with Maddie/Trevor and get over it,
or should his jealousy take over him still?
And finally, I am totally open to any other ideas or
suggestions for the story that you want to throw my way.

DISCLAIMER: I don't even own a stinkin' DVD..sadly. But hey, there's always Martha and Aunt Albert /
Previously, On 'Odd Couples 2: Maddie And Trevor':
"Honey, what happened to your head!" Carrie seemed to be more concerned than Cody, who had just broken out into laughter.
Zack ran into the bathroom to look in the mirror. "Aaahhh!" Zack yelled. "My head!"
"How did that happen?" Asked Carrie, referring to the rather large red bump on Zack's forehead.
"Now I remember. I was walking back into the hotel and I crashed into the revolving door." Zack said.
"Nice move, bozo!" Cody laughed. Both Carrie and Zack stared at him pointedly. "Sorry." he finished.
"Do you think she'll like me?" Maddie asked Trevor nervously as he fiddled with his house keys.
"Of course she'll like you." Trevor said.
"Uh, Grandma.. I'd like you to meet Maddie." Trevor said as the two unlocked their fingers.
"So, this is Maddie; the pretty young lady that I ruined your date with! I'm terribly sorry about that, Maddie." she said.
"Oh no, don't worry about that! I'm just happy that you're okay.. Mrs. …"
"Oh! Call me Martha, sweety." The woman smiled her very warm, kind smile again. Maddie nodded. "And thank you, for your concern."
Maddie and Trevor were now halfway down the stairs. Maddie could tell that Trevor was eager to get out of there. "..Goodbye Martha!"
"See, I told you she'd like you. It went very well." Trevor said.
"I'm excited to try another date with you.." Trevor said. He picked up her left hand with his right and rubbed the top of it with his thumb, biting on his bottom lip. Maddie was a sucker for anything having to do with romance so she couldn't help but melt at the sight of him; especially when he tried to butter her up. "Well in that case…" she said slowly as she reached for her seat belt. Trevor smiled and waggled his eyebrows as he put the key into the ignition.
…"I mean, all you do all day is sit on the couch in the suite, watch t.v., make our room a mess, and sit on your butt eating junk food all day!" Cody finished.
"Okay.." Zack said, "If that's how you feel about it, then I'll go down to the lobby and eat junk food!"
"Are you planning on going down there to flirt with Maddie as well?" he asked.
"Whadda you think?" Zack said.
"Do you really think you'll look smooth saying.. 'How ya doin' sweet thang ' .. with a lump the size of Texas on your head?"
Zack stood for a moment and blinked. "Point taken."

AND NOW, CHAPPIE 10 OF 'ODD COUPLES 2: MADDIE AND TREVOR'
Poor Aunt Albert
Trevor and Maddie walked into the lobby of the Tipton hand in hand, smiling and laughing. Maddie was absolutely head over heels at this point. (No, Maddie is not necessarily in love with Trevor, but she really likes him and is always all smitten around him.) As the two swayed their arms back and forth, all Maddie could do was stare up at Trevor with an ear-to-ear smile on her face. And when she wasn't doing that, she was giggling and cracking up at his jokes.
At this time, Lance walked into the lobby as well. He had just come back from the indoor pool, and wanted to grab a candy bar before he headed up to his room again. He looked up in front of him and saw Maddie… with Trevor.
"Oh, hey Maddie!"
Maddie snapped back to reality when she heard Lance's voice. However, she still had the dreamy smile plastered to her face.
"..Hey Lance! ..This is--"
"—That guy you were telling me about?" Lance said.
"Trevor; yes." she smiled. "Trevor, this is Lance. He used to work here as a lifeguard but now he came back here for a visit. He lives in Florida." she looked up at Trevor again.
"Good to meet you." Trevor extended out his hand for Lance, who rejected.
"Yea.." Lance looked him up and down, still ignoring Trevor's hand. "Actually," he turned to Maddie now, "I'm gonna be staying here for longer than I thought." He said, matter-of-factly.
"Oh, why is that?" Maddie asked.
"Well, turns out that my Aunt Albert is sick." He looked at Maddie, "really sick." He added, trying to make Maddie feel bad. "She's getting old, too. And my parents are really the only ones around that can take care of her. They didn't want to just leave me in Florida, and they know I didn't really want to stay with them at my aunt's house, so they thought 'what a better place for me to stay than with my good old friends at the Tipton?'"
"Oh.." Maddie's smile faded a little. "I'm sorry about your Aunt.. Albert."
"Yeah.." Lance put his head down a little. "We were always real close." he lied.
Maddie's face looked a little more concerned than before. Lance looked at her. "I'll be alright, though." he said dramatically as he 'wiped his eye'.
"See ya around." Lance glared at Trevor. Trevor looked a little confused, but nodded and waved as Lance walked away.
"See ya." said Maddie.
Maddie and Trevor continued on to the elevator. "You know, it's too bad Lance's aunt Albert is sick…but right now," Maddie turned to Trevor after they stepped into the elevator, "I couldn't care less." Maddie said softly right before she leaned in and kissed Trevor. Trevor returned the kiss, and after a minute or two they parted again. Trevor smiled a little. "Wait a minute, did you just say 'Aunt Albert'?" Maddie tried not to laugh as she said, "That was exactly my reaction." The two heard a ding and the elevator doors opened in front of them. They walked out and slowly wandered down the halls, slowly making their way to their own rooms. "So, that Lance guy seemed to be acting a little strange. Does he like you or something?" Trevor asked. Maddie sighed, "I used to have sort of.. a thing for him. But that didn't work out." she said. "Why, what happened?" Trevor asked. "..I got to know him." The two of them stopped and chuckled. Then they continued on. "If you attempt to have an actual conversation with him, you'll find out what I mean." Maddie said, still holding back laughter. "I'll take your word for it." Trevor smiled as the two came up to his suite. Their walking came to a stop and the two were facing each other, gazing in to one another's eyes. Trevor broke the silence, "So.. you wanna give me your suite phone number this time?" Maddie smiled at him and picked up his hand that she had been holding. She turned it over so his palm was open and she pulled out a pen from her purse. Maddie slowly glided the pen along his hand, writing down her phone number, along with her name and a heart. She looked up at him, half way done, and his eyes were focused on the uncompleted writing on his left palm. He had a different look on his face that Maddie couldn't quite recall. Maddie put the pen back down on his hand, her eyes still on his. She heard Trevor let out a small sound of pleasure, as he bit on his bottom lip. (I know, he does that a lot; that's pretty much his trademark!) 'That tickles' he thought as he felt a sensation run throughout his body. Maddie picked up on this and smiled again, finishing up with her writing. "..There you go." she looked up at him. He had an almost nervous smile on his face and his cheeks were rosy. Maddie giggled to herself. "Thanks." he said, reaching to put his hand in his pocket. Maddie got a hold of his arm, "Be careful not to smudge it." she said sweetly, feeling a tad bit embarassed that she made sort of a big deal out of it. "Sorry." said Trevor.
"..Thank you..for the date." said Maddie. "I had a good time."
"Yea, me too." Trevor cleared his throat. He tried to think of something else to say, but instead of speaking he slightly moved his face in closer to Maddie's. Maddie stepped a little closer to him too, but she knew what she was going to do next. As Trevor went for another kiss, Maddie moved her lips and left him with a peck on the cheek instead. She took a step back and flipped up her pen, showing it to him. "Keep in touch." she said; and she turned and headed for her suite. As she walked, her back facing a dumbfounded Trevor, she bit on her bottom lip in excitement and continued letting Trevor watch her walk away.
---------------------------------------------
I know, this was a really short chapter, but I'm not quite sure what to do next. I think I'm gonna start putting more Lance into the story now. And also, I just realized that I talk about 'Maddie's suite' in this story, meanwhile on SLOZAC Maddie doesn't live in the Tipton. I feel embarassed now because I didn't know that! I don't think I've actually seen the episode ('Poor Little Rich Girl') when they refer to Maddie living across from a ball field. If I did, the idea totally didn't occur to me! Sorry about that guys. I guess we'll just say that in this story, Maddie was fed up with her parents always fighting, and she couldn't stand her little brother anymore so she decided to just live at the Tipton. Let's not get into how she got the money to afford living there, LOL. And um, I actually just had my dad yelling at me because I'm running out of time before school starts and I still havent finished my first summer reading book. (Spark Notes, here I come!) So, I might hold out for a while with my updating. Sorry, again. I hope you all participate in the vote! It may not me much, but it determines a turning point in the story! I'd really love to hear what you want to happen next. A general review is fine as well. :)
