I'M BAAAAAAAACCCCKKKK! Whew! I am SO sorry that it's been so long since I've updated this story, but I've been a little busy with school and my other fics. It's weird that I've just had HSM ideas pouring in to me and yet… nada for this one. lol. Again, my deepest apologies for keeping you all waiting for so long! I bet you're all saying, "HALLELUHEA!" (sp?) lol. Well, I still don't have any genius ideas for this story right now, but I didn't want to lose any more reader/reviewers so I figured I'd at least put in a filler chapter. Thank you all for being so patient! I'm sorry if this chapter stinks. I'm probably just gonna make the best I can think of up as I go along. :)

DISCLAIMER- I do not own SLOZAC; none of my story is connected to and/or affiliated with Disney or the show's characters!!!

Previously, on 'Odd Couples 2: Maddie and Trevor'(Aahh, that still has a ring to it..):

"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.

"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. And my parents are really the only ones around that can take care of her. 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."

"See ya around." Lance glared at Trevor. Trevor looked a little confused, but nodded and waved as Lance walked away.

Maddie and Trevor continued on to the elevator. After continuing a conversation for a minute or two, Maddie leaned in and kissed Trevor.

"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.

The two came up to Trevor's 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. Maddie slowly glided the pen along his hand, writing down her phone number. She looked up at him; He had a different look on his face that Maddie couldn't quite recall. '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.

"..Thank you..for the date." said Maddie. "I had a good time."

"Yea, me too." Trevor cleared his throat.

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. "Keep in touch." she said; and she turned and headed for her suite. She walked, her back facing a dumbfounded Trevor, letting him watch her walk away.

AND NOW, CHAPPIE 11 OF 'ODD COUPLES 2: MADDIE AND TREVOR'

The Picnic

"Hey Maddie!"

"Oh hey Zack!" Maddie answered, picking up her head from the candy counter and quickly putting it back down.

"What are you doing there, homework?" Zack asked, peeking at the paper Maddie was fixed on. From his brief glance, he saw a lot of hearts and fancy scribbles. Maddie saw him looking over her shoulder and quickly covered the paper with her hand. "Uh… uh-huh!" Maddie fibbed, trying to cover up the fact that she was doodling Trevor's name all over the piece of looseleaf. "Uh, yep. Homework!" she grinned. "English paper." she nodded, now covering the paper with both hands and looking nervously at Zack.

Zack wasn't sure if he should have suspected anything so he just shrugged it off. "Oh," he said simply, "Sure." Maddie carefully folded the paper and stuffed it underneath the counter.

"Hey, can I have a chocolate bar?" Zack asked.

"I don't think you should eat anymore chocolate, Zack." Maddie shook her head.

"Why?!" Zack scoffed.

Maddie slightly pointed a finger, "Because you're starting to get acne."

Zack moved his eyes up as far as they could go, and realized that Maddie was talking about the red mark on his forehead.

"You mean this?" he asked, pointing to the mark. Maddie nodded.

"Ooohh, see that, that isn't a pimple.." he said, laughing nervously. "It's a funny story actually. You see, the door—and me—and I was—you see, I wasn't—uhh.." he rambled, avoiding his point of the story. "…Hehe, to make a long story short… it was simply an injury." he nodded convincingly.

"Oh-kay.." said Maddie, nodding as she pretended to go along with it.

"So, now that we have that little misunderstanding swept out of the way, I suppose you'll be giving me my chocolate bar?"

"Maddie looked around, "Where's Cody?"

"Why would you need to know where Cody is?"

"Well how else are you gonna pay for the chocolate bar?" Maddie put a hand on her hip.

Zack looked around nervously. "…I'll go find him." he walked off.

Maddie chuckled and turned around to organize some of the candy on the shelves behind her. She heard someone coming up to the counter, so she turned her head and she saw Trevor. She smiled widely and stopped what she was doing. Trevor smiled at her too as he walked up to her. Maddie walked out from behind the counter to greet him.

"Hey, Maddie.." said Trevor.

"Hey.." Maddie said. Maddie leaned in, about to kiss him, when she saw that he looked unsure; Trevor saw this and wasn't sure how to greet her either. Maddie went to hug Trevor and Trevor went to kiss Maddie, their little struggle ending in an awkward hug and a small peck on the cheek. Once they moved away from the hug they just smiled at each other and attempted to start a conversation.

"You working?" said Trevor.

"Yeah." Maddie replied.

"When do you get off?"

Maddie looked at her watch, "I should be done in about… maybe ten to fifteen minutes, if you wanna stay."

"Okay. I'll wait right here." Trevor smiled nervously.

"Do you have something planned?" Maddie wondered.

"Maybe a little something," said Trevor softly, "Don't worry about it." he smirked. Maddie knew he was up to something, but she wasn't sure what.

Maddie only got one more customer in the next ten minutes, which was Zack, returning with Cody's money to buy his chocolate bar. After he left, Maddie looked at her watch, and Trevor looked at his feet. His eyes on the floor, Trevor noticed a folded piece of loose-leaf paper next to the counter. He bent down and picked it up. "Somebody must have dropped something.. is it yours?" he said, starting to open it up. Maddie looked at the piece of paper in Trevor's hands. Her eyes went wide. 'How did he find that?! I must have kicked it before when I walked around to the front of the counter.'

Before Maddie could stop him, Trevor unfolded the piece of paper and was looking at it. Maddie looked on with embarrassment on her face, knowing what the paper was. A small smirk livened Trevor's face as he continued reading the doodles. Maddie looked up with a frown as if to say, Oh, please god!

"Hm," he said, "someone must really like this Trevor guy." he teased. "They didn't leave any white spaces on the paper!" he chuckled and looked at Maddie with a smile.

Maddie's cheeks were rosy. She scoffed. "Yeah! You said it," she played along nervously, "But—uh, uh, that's not mine though, if that's what you're thinking…"

Trevor shrugged, "Well, looks like Trevor's got a secret admirer, then!" he said smiling, handing the paper to Maddie, who crumpled it up and casually threw it in the trash underneath her. She let out a short, fake laugh. 'Oh my god, that was so embarrassing!' she thought.

"So, you ready to go?" Trevor asked her.

"Yep! Let's head out! Where are we going?" Maddie grabbed her coat and rushed out, hoping that subject wouldn't be brought up again any time soon.

"..You'll see" Trevor smiled.

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

"Are we at a park or something?" Maddie asked. Trevor didn't answer, but got out of the car and went around to Maddie's side to open the door for her. He helped her out and shut the door behind her. Maddie still looked clueless.

Trevor looked up to the sky and smiled. He leaned his back against the car.

"What are you doing?" Maddie laughed.

"Maddie, here's what you're gonna do. You see that big hill?" he said, pointing in front of them.

"Yeah."

"I want you to walk up there and keep walking until you can see the sunset."

Maddie looked at him, then up at the hill, "Uh, alright." She began walking and then turned her head to look back at Trevor.

"Keep walking; don't stop!" he said. So Maddie kept walking forward. "And when you get there, just sit down and look at the sun. It's a great view!"

Maddie was confused of what Trevor was trying to do, but she went along with it. She walked and she walked.

"Did I ever tell you that I'm not so good with uphill?" she called jokingly. She heard no answer. 'I wonder what he's doing.' she thought. 'Oh well, I'll just sit down and rest. Wow, he wasn't kidding. The sun from here looks beautiful.' When Maddie got to the top of the hill, she looked down and she smiled. There was a big blanket spread out on the grass with a note clipped on it. She sat down and picked up the note.

Your eyes

Two pools of auburn

Your smile

It makes my heart yearn

Your laugh

is so heart melting

Your tears

They have the flowers welting

Your hand

belongs with my hand

Our feet

make prints in the sand

And

through the stormy weather

Our hearts

will be together

Maddie smiled and put a hand to her mouth. She couldn't believe what she had just read.

"So, what do you think?"

Maddie heard Trevor's voice from behind her. She turned around to face him and held the poem in her lap. "Did you write this?"

Trevor stepped closer to Maddie and set down the picnic basket he was holding. He smiled and nodded his head. "Do you like it?"

Maddie started shaking her head in disbelief, staring at the poem.

"..You, you hate it don't you? ..Oh, god I.."

"No, Trevor I.." Maddie started, "I love it." She looked at him. "I can't believe you wrote this for me!"

"Well, I felt creative and.. I had an… amazing inspiration.." Trevor said, gesturing to Maddie.

Maddie pushed some stray hair behind her ear and smiled. "Thank you." She got up and threw herself at Trevor, hugging him tight. He held her close and could feel her warmth. He closed his eyes until he felt Maddie slowly releasing herself from his arms. He opened his eyes and looked at her. She looked into his blue eyes and moved her hand up to his shoulder. Then there was no space between their faces. They kissed as the soft wind blew their hair. Trevor's hand moved to the side of Maddie's face as they fell deeper. Maddie stepped back, Trevor stepped forward, and they fell down onto the blanket, never separating.

After a little while Trevor pulled back and rolled off of Maddie. She sat up, her lips pursed together and her cheeks pink. She looked at Trevor and they laughed. There was a small awkward moment until Trevor broke the silence, "So you want a sandwich or something?" Maddie giggled, "Sure." The two sat across from each other on the blanket, watching the sunset and eating their sandwiches. It was beautiful.

"So you're gonna watch the game at home tonight?" Trevor asked Maddie, referring to a subject that had come up before.

Maddie nodded her head, still chewing. She swallowed. "Mm-hm" she said. "They're playing the Yankees tonight." She smiled.

"That should be interesting." Trevor said. "So you get a pretty good view from your window?" he asked.

"Yeah it's really good. I watch games all the time. Sometimes my whole family gathers in my room and we watch it together."

"And I also hear that you get free peanuts?" asked Trevor.

Maddie laughed, "Yep!"

"You lucky duck." Trevor teased. They shared a laugh and finished up their food. Trevor gathered up the blanket and the basket and they headed back to the car.

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

"Hey Sal!" Maddie called out her bedroom window. "Throw me up some peanuts!"

"Sure thing!" said Sal. "How you likin' the game?"

Maddie caught the bag of peanuts and responded, "It's good tonight!"

"I know!" said Sal.

"Is it half time?"

"Yeah!"

"Ok, thanks!"

"No problem Maddie!"

Maddie smiled and opened up her bag of peanuts. As she leaned on her window sill her cell phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hey Maddie!" It was Trevor.

"Oh, hey!" Maddie was really happy to talk to Trevor again. She smiled wide.

"You watchin' the game?" he asked.

"Yep. It's half time right now."

"What's the score?"

Maddie looked up at the scoreboard in the stadium. She squinted her eyes a little to make out the numbers when the screen changed.

She dropped the phone and choked on a peanut…………………………………
