I own nothing :(


Lenny stood back as Bailey stepped out of the bathroom. "How do I look?"

Lenny smiled, "You're obviously a nervous wreck. Bay, your shirt's on backwards and you're wearing purple eyeshadow on one eye and green on the other!" she announced.

"Len, what am I going to do!" Bailey cried out.

"Bay, deep breaths, deep breaths," Lenny said, breathing in and out with Bailey. "First, get that shirt on right! It's cute. And I'd go with the brown shadow, much more natural and brings out your eyes." Lenny looked around at Bailey's desk. "Are you sure this isn't a date?"

"Lenny, this is not a date! I'm just going to the restaurant on the ship with Cody and you…" Bailey replied lamely.

"Sounds like a date if you take me out of the picture," Lenny said. "Why am I coming anyway?"

"Because without you there I'll be nervous as heck!" Bailey confessed.

Lenny sighed, "Bay, you've never had a problem hanging out with Cody before. Just because it's over dinner at a restaurant, doesn't mean it's any different than just hanging out with the normal Cody."

"I know… but… I heard Zack's going to be there," Bailey tried to convince Lenny.

"You think that'll convince me?" Lenny snorted.

"No, but I hoped," Bailey muttered.


"Dude! I don't want to go while you and Bailey stare at each other in silence the whole time!" Zack complained to Cody, who was dressing up.

"Zack, I told you, this isn't a date! We're just treating ourselves to dinner because we got straight A's!" Cody stressed to Zack.

"Then why am I coming?" Zack asked.

Cody sighed, "Because I can't bring Blankie," he confessed.


Cody and Zack met up with Bailey and Lenny at the restaurant, just as they had planned. "I see you have a party of four… I'm sorry, but we only have tables for two available," the host informed them.

"Can't you push two tables together?" Lenny asked hopefully.

"What do I look like, a fast food place? No! Now, who sits with whom?" the host said haughtily.

Lenny looked over at Bailey, who was giving her the puppy dog face. "Cody and Bailey will get a table," she finally conceded, "And Zack and I will have another," she muttered. The host led them to their tables, across the room from each other.

"Thank you," Bailey whispered to Lenny as Cody warned Zack, "Don't start a food fight again."

"But that was epic!" Zack whispered back. Cody gave him a stern look, "Fine, I won't."


Lenny looked up at Zack, who was surprisingly looking at his menu. "What do you think looks good?" he asked her.

"That," Lenny replied, pointing to Cody and Bailey, who were in an animated discussion about something smart.

Zack laughed, "Too bad they won't just admit they like each other and go out. Cody thinks Bailey just likes him as a friend."

"Bailey thinks the same about Cody," Lenny replied. "We've got to get them together somehow!"

"A schemer? I never expected it from you," Zack tried not to sound too impressed.

Lenny looked appalled, "I'm a seasoned schemer, thank you very much. That smoothie mix up you had with that girl today was no mistake."

"You did that? And she was hot!" Zack exclaimed. "Why? Were you jealous?"

"Eh, it was another way to embarrass you, wasn't it?" Lenny said.

"True. But I bet you didn't guess I messed with your chemistry set before you set you and Cody's beaker on fire, did you?" Zack told her.

"You didn't! Miss Tutweiler almost banned me from the lab!" Lenny exclaimed.

"Anyway, back to food… I'm hungry. What looks good?" Zack asked again.

Lenny looked over the menu, "Actually, the bacon wrapped steak tips sound great. Oh, with potatoes too!"

"You're a meat and potatoes chick too?" Zack asked.

"What can I say?" Lenny replied, "Living out on a farm gives you the appetite of a pig!"

Zack laughed. He had never really noticed before, but Lenny was really funny. But terribly smart and evil too…


"Look at those two," Cody whispered to Bailey confidentially as the waiter left to get their food.

Bailey looked over at Lenny and Zack, who were currently arguing over something but laughing about it too. "I think there's something going on between them," she cooed.

"Yeah…" Cody said, looking back at Bailey.

"Um… Cody, did I put different colors of eyeshadow on or something?" Bailey asked self-consciously.

"No, no," Cody assured her, "It's just that… you look… beautiful tonight."

"Awe, thank you, Cody," Bailey smiled, "You're not too shabby yourself. And is that pine I smell?"

"I always wear it," Cody replied with a grin.

"My absolute favorite!" Bailey squealed. "It reminds me so much of home… But that's enough of me fantasizing about home. What was Boston like?"

"What?" Cody asked, stunned. Bailey usually loved telling him every detail about Kettle Corn.

"What was Boston like? What was your favorite part?" Bailey pressed.

"Well… Boston was fun. Really loud though, but never dull. School was cool, and I always liked to see the Red Sox games. Did I ever tell you about the time Mr. Moseby became the most hated man in Boston?" Cody asked her. She shook her head. "Well…" Cody began to tell the story.


Later that night, as they finished dessert, Lenny said to Zack, "So, you'll call me when we begin Operation Coiley? Or Baildy… Whatever we call it before the dance?"

"Yeah," Zack assured her. "Why? Can't wait to get a call from a boy for once?"

Lenny rolled her eyes, "Coming from you, I don't think it counts."

"Check please!" Zack said to the waiter as he passed by.

Lenny opened her mouth to speak, but the waiter had already left. "Aren't we getting two separate bills?"

"Why?" Zack asked her, chuckling.

"Well, I thought…" Lenny began.

"Well, you thought wrong," Zack replied, paying the waiter.

"You're being really nice Zack… What's going on?" Lenny pressed.

Zack sighed, "I think I should be on your good side if we're going to scheme together to get Cody and Bailey together."

Lenny looked at him skeptically. "Okay… that excuse will do for now. Oh, just so Cody and Bailey don't get suspicious, we should probably storm off in opposite directions with a loud, angry huff," she mentioned. Zack nodded. "Gosh Zack, I didn't know you could be so rude!" Lenny shouted.

"Rude? You're the one who's ego's too big for their tiny head!" Zack retorted.

"You're going to eat those words Zachary Andrew Martin!" Lenny screamed, leaving with an angry huff.

"And I'll get back at you! After I eat those words!" Zack replied, storming off the opposite way.


That Friday, Mr. Moseby let Lenny off of work to help set up for the dance. Since she knew all about the sound system, she was helping Zack set up the DJ booth, on the condition that she would co-DJ. "No Zack! That's the wrong plug! Put it in there and-," there was the nasty sound of feedback and Zack yanked the plug out of the input hole. Lenny got up to put it in the right place. "So, when are you going to play their song?" Lenny asked Zack, plugging in the microphones for them.

"I was thinking later on, after we have some fun with some fast songs," Zack told her. "But what if Cody doesn't ask her to dance before someone else?" he asked.

"One of us will just have to jump down and grab her first," Lenny replied.


Addison had just finished screaming in her hyper way to the last note of the last song when Zack said, "Alright, we're going to slow things down in here."

They both watched as Cody and Bailey began to approach each other, but turned away before asking to dance. "This is torture," Lenny muttered.

"Uh oh, trouble," Zack told her, jumping down to Bailey. He just asked her to dance before Holden asked Bailey to dance.

Lenny went down and asked Cody for a dance. She purposefully moved them closer to Bailey and Zack, spinning Cody to face them. "What is Zack doing dancing with Bailey? To our song?" he asked in horror.

"Well, she would have danced with you if you had worked up the nerve to ask her!" Lenny hissed.

"But she's so…" Cody began.

"Yeah, beautiful, cute, smart, brilliant, amazing, out of your league, whatever, it's no excuse! She's your friend, and she would have been thrilled to dance with you," Lenny told him.

"Really?" Cody asked her.

"Really," Lenny replied with a smile.


"Um, Zack, why aren't you dancing with Lenny?" Bailey asked Zack.

Zack scoffed, "Me? Dance with her? Why?"

"Well, I thought with you two spending so much time together recently…" Bailey said.

"Oh, no. No. N-O. We are not like that. I've just been trying to make up for sabotaging her show and for her negotiating for me to stay on the ship," Zack replied. "Why else? Jealous that she's with Cody?"

Bailey blushed, "No. That's Cody she's dancing with?" she feigned surprise.

"I saw you looking over at them," Zack told her.

"Was I that obvious?" Bailey asked.

"Only as obvious as a black bear in a white forest!" Zack informed. "Now, if you'll excuse me…" Zack worked his way to Cody and Lenny, "Lenny, could you watch the DJ booth for me? I've got to go REAL bad…" Lenny pardoned herself from Cody and ran up to the booth. The song was just ending and she hit replay. There were some groans as the first notes began again.


"Sorry, darn computer isn't working right. We'll just have to continue!" Lenny said brightly with a huge smile.

"Bailey, would you like to dance with me?" Cody asked shyly to his friend who was next to him.

"Well, sure… I thought you'd never ask," Bailey replied, taking a hold of his shoulders as he held on to her waist.

Zack came back and joined Lenny at the booth. "Look at them, they're adorable," Lenny told him, motioning toward Cody and Bailey.

"Yeah, they sure are… What have you done to me?" Zack asked in horror.

"It's called sensitivity, cement block," Lenny replied.

Zack cringed, "And it's eating away at me!"

"Shush up," Lenny hushed him.

"Wanna dance?" Zack asked.

"What?" Lenny asked in surprise as Zack took her arms and put her hands on his shoulders.

"A dance. You know, moving your feet to music? It's kind of customary to agree when someone asks you," Zack told her, holding his hands up, waiting for permission to begin dancing with her.

"Alright… I guess," Lenny replied, blushing. Zack smiled politely at her. "You're being really nice again… What do you want?"

Zack looked appalled, "Do I need to want anything? Maybe I'm really a nice guy deep down inside." Lenny and Zack looked at each other before bursting out in laughter. "No, but really. All I want is to dance."

Lenny looked at Zack long and hard before replying, "Alright. I'll buy that."

The song ended, and Lenny reached for the mouse. She clicked on a song. "This is a special request by Zack Martin!" she announced.

"I didn't request a song," Zack informed her, befuddled.

"Oh I know. But you'll love this one," Lenny assured him.

The first few notes came up before the Wibble-Wobbies started singing. "You wouldn't…" he said.

"I just did!" Lenny replied, bouncing offstage.

"Man, she's good!" Zack exclaimed, looking after her.


Almost everyone had left other than Cody, Bailey, Lenny, and Zack. Cody and Bailey were sitting on the edge of the stage while Lenny was behind the DJ booth. They were watching Zack dance to the Wibble-Wobbies song over and over again. "When will this end?" Bailey whispered to Cody.

"I don't know… Zack does love the Wibble-Wobbies," Cody replied.

As the song ended, Zack called out to Lenny, "Again!" With a laugh, she hit replay. Cody and Bailey snuck out, and Lenny set the computer to repeat as she went backstage. Zack continued dancing – heck, the Wibble-Wobbies were still singing!
