A/N: Do I need to restate it? I think we know I don't own any of this. Except for Lenny. She's all mine :)

I'm too tired to write an actual note... But thank you everyone for reading and reviewing! :D

I don't own anything.


Bailey and Lenny were laughing on the Sky Deck as they sipped some smoothies. "That's as funny as watching a pig slide through Uncle Mac's greasy hands after a barbeque!" Bailey said.

Zack was passing by them and commented, "You two really are the best of friends! Even Cody and I aren't that close, and we're twins!"

Cody walked by right then and overheard. "Could it be because of your nefarious and indolent personality?" he asked.

"I don't know," Zack retorted, "Maybe it's because you use words like 'nefarious' and 'indolent', Einstein!" Cody rolled his eyes and walked away. Zack followed suit.

"Anyway, and then he told me about the mini-Mulch Festival you guys had here and how you told him you were staying, and told me to tell Mary Lou he'd love to go to the movies," Lenny said.

"You better have stuck up for yourself, girl," Bailey told her friend.

Lenny smiled, "Oh I did, Bay. I told him straight up that if he wasn't man enough to ask Mary Lou himself, then he wasn't man enough for you."

"That must've been a blow to his ego," Bailey commented. "You can be so blunt at times."

Lenny nonchalantly looked at her nails, "It's a gift. Hey, do you want to change that color on your nails?"

Bailey looked at her nails in worry, "Why? Is it a bad color?"

"No," Lenny replied, shaking her head, "I just thought you might like another color for your blarfdart." Lenny said the last word with Bailey's hand over her mouth.

"Len! I told you not to tell anyone! But sure, I'll go to the room and we can do manicures," Bailey informed her friend.

"Blazin' Red or Piney Greeny?" Lenny asked her friend as she got up.

"I don't know… I was kind of thinking," Bailey started.

"Goose Lake Blue!" the two of them said in unison, running up to their room. "First one there gets their nails done first!" Lenny announced as the two of them laughed all the way to their room.


The next morning Bailey awoke and turned to Lenny. "Hey! Rise and shine, Len! What are we going to do on this beautiful Saturday with no school?" No answer. "Lenny?" Still no answer. "Nellie!" Bailey announced, pouncing onto Lenny's bed to wake the sleepy head up. Only, Lenny wasn't there. "But… she always wakes up with me," Bailey thought out loud, hurt. "And on my birthday. I thought she remembered!" Bailey looked over at the nightstand that the two girls shared. On it was a note scribbled in Lenny's all too familiar handwriting. Sorry, had to take care of some stuff today, see you later Bailey-gator! ~ Len

Bailey sighed. She might as well get ready and grab some breakfast.


Bailey was walking around the Sky Deck, looking for someone to talk to while eating her banana nut muffin. She saw Cody behind the towel table. "Hey Cody," she greeted.

"Hey Bailey! How're you doing?" Cody asked.

"I'm doing great. Have you seen Lenny?" Bailey replied.

Cody looked around the deck curiously. "Uh, no, no, I have not seen Lenny today," he answered.

"Oh, okay. She was already gone when I woke up, which was late too because she turned off the chicken this morning," Bailey explained. Cody gave her a weird look when she said "chicken" so she clarified, "My chicken clock. Don't ask." Cody moved out from behind the desk, so she followed him with her eyes. "You don't think I'm making a big deal out of this, do you?" she asked, turning to him.

Cody shook his head. "No, not at all. You have a reason to be worried for her, you're best friends!" Cody bobbed up and looked over Bailey's shoulder at Lenny and Zack, who were walking leisurely along the deck talking about something.

"What in the horse's hay are you looking at?" Bailey asked Cody, beginning to turn around.

"Nothing!" Cody told her. "Just admiring your hair from all angles," he made up. He tried to signal to his brother to move along. "Why does twin telepathy never work when I want it to?" Cody asked himself out loud. He practically jumped on Bailey, enveloping her in a huge hug. Before resting his second hand on her back, he waved for Zack and Lenny to go away, which they finally saw and gladly obliged. Cody cherished his hug with Bailey for a moment or two longer, before letting go.

"What was that for?" Bailey asked him curiously.

"Oh, you know," Cody started, "For helping me study for that algebra test yesterday. I'm sure thanks to you that I passed," he excused lamely.

"Well, you're welcome," Bailey said proudly. "I think I'll resume my search for Lenny now," she announced, walking off.


Bailey was no fool. She could tell when Lenny was up to something. And her friend was definitely up to something that she didn't want Bailey to know about. Bailey was surprised to hear sounds coming from her and Lenny's cabin, and more surprised that Lenny was not alone in the cabin. Bailey decided to stay outside for a bit and see if she could find an explanation for Lenny's behavior.

"Ah! Zack, stop it! No seriously!" Bailey heard Lenny squeal with a giggle.

"Aw come on!" Zack said.

"You won't think it's funny when I freak out and send Mr. Moseby running here!" Lenny threatened.

Bailey could almost see Zack rolling his eyes at Lenny. "Alright, alright. Let's do it again, please?" Zack asked. Bailey could just picture Lenny giving him a stare. "Just a little one?" Zack begged. Bailey knew Lenny was still set on no. "You know you want to," Zack teased.

Bailey heard Lenny give a tiny sigh and said, "Alright fine. But just a small one, and make it short and quick too, before people get suspicious."

"A little late for that," Bailey mumbled. She walked off to tell Cody what she had just heard.


Bailey had been looking for Lenny for at least an hour when she decided to go below deck and look in the kitchen for a snack. She was about to open the doors to grab a bite when she saw Lenny and Cody through the window. "What is she doing with him?" she asked herself quietly. She moved closer and peered through the small window.

"Taste this," she heard Cody say, holding up a spoonful of something yummy looking for Lenny to taste.

"It's amazing," Lenny told Cody with a smile. "Ready?" she asked. Cody handed her a spatula and they dipped them in the mixture. Bailey turned around and went to the Juice Bar, hoping Zack could shed some light on the subject.

"Hey, Zack, any reason why Cody and Bailey might be, I don't know, together in the kitchen?" Bailey asked.

"Oh, I don't know, maybe they wanted to cook?" Zack asked back sarcastically.

"No, I'm serious. And you should be too. I thought they might be… you know," Bailey nodded.

Zack looked as if he were actually thinking for a moment before he laughed, "Dating? No, no, they're NOT dating, trust me. I know. Maybe Lenny wanted to see if he was as good a cook as me," Zack said, popping his collar a bit. Cody and Lenny had just come to the Sky Deck on their way to Lenny's cabin when Zack saw them. Quickly he shoved the straw of a smoothie into her mouth and turned her in the chair to face the opposite way from Cody and Lenny. Cody and Lenny bolted from the Sky Deck to Lenny's cabin.

"Zack, care to explain why you just gave me a Sublime Lime Smoothie? You know I hate lime," Bailey told him.

"Sorry, thought it was a Prune Whiz," Zack said, shrugging apologetically.


Bailey sighed as she sat on a deck chair alone. "This is the worse day ever, even worse than that time when everyone forgot my birthday so I slept in the barn and then that goat started eating my hair," she groaned.

"Bay?" Lenny came up from behind her. "I've got something for my bestest best friend's birthday!" Lenny took a package out from behind her back.

"I thought you forgot!" Bailey exclaimed.

"How could I ever forget my best friend's birthday?" Lenny asked.

"Best friend?" Bailey inquired doubtfully, Lenny still holding the package.

Lenny smiled, "Of course! Come on, open it!"

Bailey shook her head. "Where have you been all day? I want the truth."

Lenny rolled her eyes, "Fine, you can open it later. Let's go to the room, I'll explain."


"Surprise!" Cody and Zack announced as Lenny and Bailey walked in through the door.

"Oh my gosh! Is this what you've been up to all day?" Bailey asked her friends.

Lenny nodded. "I think we did a pretty good job hiding it from you too. I even remembered that you didn't like huge parties, so I arranged for it to be small, just the four of us."

"Thank you guys, this is so amazing!" Bailey said. "But… What were you and Cody doing in the kitchen?"

"We were making your cake," Cody explained, "Lenny told me that vanilla cake with chocolate frosting's your favorite!" he told.

"So you don't like each other?" Bailey asked the two.

They looked at each other for a moment before exclaiming "no" in their own different ways.

"And what about you and Zack?" Bailey asked Lenny.

"What about us?" Lenny retorted.

"I heard you guys, I was outside the door. You were talking about getting something done before people get suspicious. I thought you two were smooching," Bailey explained.

Zack and Lenny laughed. "We were decorating," Zack informed her. "Apparently you heard me when I was begging to blow another balloon."

"Even if we were secretly dating," Lenny began.

"Which we're not!" Zack interjected.

"You know I can't keep a secret from you for more than a day!" Lenny told her friend, giving her a hug. "Now, I demand you open my gift first!" Bailey opened it excitedly.

"Aw, Len, really?" Bailey asked her friend. "This is the best sketch of home I've seen you ever do – it must've taken you weeks!"

"Months," Lenny corrected.

"Thank you!" Bailey said, giving Lenny another hug.

"Lenny helped me get your present," Zack admitted, handing Bailey a package. Inside were some pine tree earrings that even smelled like pine. Bailey thanked Zack.

"Hey, Zack, want to help me make a reservation for tonight?" Lenny asked.

"Nah, I think I'll stay here," Zack said. But Lenny yanked his arm and he said, "On second thought, I'd love to go with you!"

"Bailey, I didn't know what to get you…" Cody started.

"That's okay, this party is enough of a present, along with your friendship and all the adventures we've had together," Bailey protested.

"No, it's not. I was wondering… Would you mind having even more adventures together?" Cody asked.

"What are you asking?" Bailey questioned right back.

"I'm asking you… I'm asking you, Bailey Pickett, if you want to…" Cody suddenly panicked and blurted out, "Be in the school play with me! I'm planning on trying out for the leading role, you'd make a great leading lady!"

"Thanks… Cody," Bailey replied.
