A/N: I still don't own SLOD. Trust me, I would love to. But on the bright side, Lenny's still my own!

This is a SUPER special two part episode! :D

Thank you fantasyluver714 and yayaya19 for the reviews! :D I love you guys!

"Hello, and what would you like today?" Lenny sang to a customer.

"Why are you singing?" the man sang right back.

"Oh, well I need to warm up for my concert tonight. And my friend dared me to," Lenny admitted.

"You've got a lovely voice," the man replied, speaking, to Lenny, "You're doing the concert on the Sky Deck?"

"Indeed," Lenny sang, "I'm a student here, but I sing for a scholarship."

"Ah, well then," the man spoke, "I'll have a Mango Berry, please."

"No problem," Lenny sang back, imitating his low bass.

"That wasn't so bad," Lenny told Zack, "And he wants a Mango Berry."

"I didn't think it would be," Zack replied, "I just wanted to hear you sing." Lenny looked at him strangely. "You know, so I could make fun of you. You sounded like a croaking frog."

"For your information, I was imitating a bass," Lenny informed Zack.

"Oh my gosh, do you know who that is over there?" Cody asked Lenny and Zack, pointing to the man.

"No," Zack said as Lenny took a sip of her strawberry banana.

"You should, mom auditioned for him at least three times. He's music producer Seth Hanes," Cody announced. Lenny spit out her smoothie right on him.

"That was Seth Hanes?" Lenny screamed.

"Oh, now I remember him! He was the guy who kept telling mom she should work at the Tipton as a singer," Zack commented.

"I just sang – in front of Seth Hanes?" Lenny squealed.

"Yeah, it's no big deal. Now give him his smoothie," Zack commanded. Lenny tried to get up, but she wobbled and almost fell, but Zack and Cody both grabbed her arms before she could.

"Fine, I'll do it," Zack muttered, grabbing the drink. He brought it over to Seth. "Here's your drink, sir," he said.

"I was hoping for the singing waitress. You know her?" Seth asked Zack.

"I sure do," Zack replied. "We're like this," he said, holding up his crossed fingers.

"She'll be having a concert on the Sky Deck tonight, right?" Seth asked Zack.

Zack nodded, "Six o'clock sharp."

"Thank you young man," Seth said, handing Zack a ten dollar bill.

All: And we're livin the suite life now, hey ho, oh-eh-yo, let's go!

Lenny and Bailey were in their room. "I can't believe that you actually met Seth Hanes!" Bailey squealed.

"And it seems like somebody made a good impression on him," Zack sang as he entered.

"Congrats, Len!" Bailey said.

"He even said that he wants to come to your concert tonight!" Zack announced. Lenny fainted, but neither Zack nor Bailey noticed.

"Oh my goodness, this is great Len, GREAT! You could even get a record deal!" Bailey turned to Lenny. "Len? Len!" she screamed as she saw Lenny on the floor, out cold.

"Lenny! Are you okay?" Zack asked, kneeling down to get a better look at Lenny, just as Bailey was doing. "Does she need CPR?" Zack asked. Bailey gave him a weird look, "Hey, I'm certified!"

Lenny started to wake up, and Bailey said, "I'm so happy that you're alright!" giving Lenny a hug.

Zack got up quickly, "Psh, I knew she'd wake up, and now she's probably going to say something snappy back at me, she's predictable."

"Is it after my concert? Is it Saturday already?" Lenny asked, "And, for your information Zack, I am anything but predictable."

"Yeah right," Zack protested. He took a step to walk away, but fell on the floor, partially on top of Lenny.

"Don't think you saw that coming," Lenny said.

Zack looked down at his shoes. "You tied my laces together? You little sneak!"

"No, Len, you've only been out a couple of seconds," Bailey informed her friend. Lenny groaned.

Cody entered the room at that moment, "Hey gu- Zack, why are you on top of Lenny?"

"Because she's evil," Zack replied to his brother, "Pure evil."

Lenny shoved Zack off of her, "I think you broke my leg when you fell on top of me," she announced.

"You're taking the pain very well," Cody commented.

Lenny grabbed her leg and started groaning, "Oh, the pain! The agony! Make it stop! Make it stop!" she screamed. Her three friends gave her stares. "Okay, so I'm fine, doesn't mean that I have to go through with the concert," she said.

"What's so bad about doing this concert?" Cody asked.

"What's so bad! What's so bad, he asks! Hahaha," Lenny said, laughing manically.

"I think she's got a little frantic since this could be her big break," Bailey explained. She turned to her friend and grabbed her shoulders. "Lenny, you always knew this day would come! We've talked about this day since we were… well, since we were old enough to know what a break was! And are you going to let this chance slip by?" Bailey asked her friend, not even waiting for an answer she announced, "No you are not! You are going to go out there, have the most amazing concert of your life! Why? Because you can do this! Now, come on and rock that stage!" Bailey screamed.

"I will rock the stage!" Lenny announced, "I can do this!" she screamed as she ran out the door into the hall. She immediately popped her head back in, "Yeah, no I can't." Bailey put her head in her hands.

"We-e-ell," Zack and Cody began.

"I believe I can fly!" Zack sang.

"I believe I can touch the sky!" Cody continued.

"What are you guys doing?" Bailey asked.

Cody just smiled, "Giving Lenny some encouragement, you know."

Bailey smiled and the three of them sang together, "I think about it every night and day. Spread my wings and fly away. I believe I can soar. I see me running through that open door. I believe I can fly. Lenny can impress this record guy! I believe I can fly!"

Lenny applauded, "Great job guys." Then she clutched her stomach and head and groaned, "I just don't think it helped the sinking feeling in my stomach and the mayhem in my head."

"I… I can't do this!" Lenny announced to her friends. She was backstage before her concert.

"What if we all went onstage and sang with you?" Bailey suggested.

"But I'm not ready for my big performance!" Cody whined.

Zack suddenly walked in and sang, "We're all in this together. Once we know, that we are, we're all stars, we can make it!"

Lenny rolled her eyes, "No… And if we did, then I'd probably throw up on you guys instead of just the stage!"

"Bleh," Zack blanched, leaving the room.

"Well, you've got to do something, you start in five minutes!" Cody informed her.

"Five minutes!" Lenny repeated before beginning to hyperventilate. Bailey put an arm around her while staring Cody down.

"I was just warning her!" Cody explained.

Bailey simply pointed at the door to exit onto the main Sky Deck. "I think this is something me and Lenny need to talk about."

Cody left a bit dejectedly. He almost ran into Zack, who had Seth Hanes with him. "Zack! What are you doing? Lenny's freaking out right now!"

"I am trying to help! Lenny will be fine if Seth isn't in the audience, right?" Zack asked.

"Hey, why am I being dragged into this? I thought you were going to have me meet that great singing waitress!" Seth said, confused.

"She's technically not a waitress, I was just too lazy to get your order myself and remember it all the way back to the Juice Bar. And you're the entire point of this!" Zack told Seth. He turned to Cody, "I got Seth out from the audience," he started.

"How'd you do that?" Cody asked his brother.

Zack looked around before whispering, "Gum, peanut butter, and marshmallows, but I didn't use the gum for what you're thinking."

"What was I thinking you used the gum for?" Cody asked.

Zack cut him off, "Anyway, we just need to get Lenny to think that Seth isn't in the audience, and then she'll be fine!"

"How are you going to do that?" Cody asked his brother.

"Well, I could bring him backstage, but then Lenny will see him when she goes for intermission," Zack explained.

"And I wouldn't get to see her stage presence," Seth admitted.

Cody offered a suggestion, "He could watch from the balcony." Cody thought for a moment, "But Lenny always turns around and waves to them up there."

"And I don't think Seth really wants to watch the concert from under the chairs," Zack sighed.

"Zack, you'd better come up with something quick, you've got two minutes!" Cody warned.

"You're the genius here!" Zack announced.

"You're the evil, manipulative… nincompoop!" Cody shot back.

"Okay… I think I just came up with a way to not only let Lenny perform for Seth without her knowing, and to boost her confidence and give her the best concert ever," Zack said, "But I'm going to need you and Bailey's help." He turned to Seth, "And you need to blend in with the crowd as much as possible," Zack informed him.

"Great! I can do my old 'normal kid' act from my high school drama club!" Seth said, trying to act like a cool teenager. "Cause I'm too cool, yeah I'm too cool to know you. Don't take it personal, don't get emotional, you know it's the truth, I'm too cool for you," Seth sang as he left the twins.

"I wonder how that guy ever made it big in the music biz," Zack commented in disgust.

Lenny was still freaking out on her dressing room. She wasn't crying, but she was still breathing in deeply. "Are you okay?" Zack asked, gently putting his hand on Lenny's shoulder.

"Do I look like I'm okay?" Lenny threw back.

"Lenny, I think you should take a look out at your audience," Cody told her.

"And throw up?" Lenny shot back.

"Len, just look," Bailey said as Zack steered Lenny to the wing.

"What? I don't see Seth here… But there are tons of other people there waiting to be entertained!" Lenny announced happily. Indeed, there was a crowd of people waiting for Lenny's concert and shouting her name. "This is the biggest crowd I've ever had! And I'm ready to sing! In three, two, one!" Lenny ran out on stage. "Hey everybody! Before I sing my first song, I want to thank you all for coming to hear me today!" She then began her first song.

"Now, for my final song, I want to get some of my friends onstage with me. These guys are my absolute best friends – my lifelines. They've helped me a lot, and deal with me even when I'm not sure I could have," Lenny announced, pausing for laughter. "No matter what they're always with me, I have no idea what I'd do without them. Can I get a round of applause for them?" She paused as the audience applauded. "Here's Cody; he's an amazing friend and extremely smart too, not half bad looking either!"

Cody came out from backstage, looking excited, "Since my mom's not here, I can't say hi to her," he announced with a laugh.

"And here's Bailey. She's been my best friend since we were in diapers and has been with me through the thick and thin. She's an amazing friend, and I don't know where I'd be without her," Lenny announced.

Bailey came out and said, "Howdy y'all!"

"And last but not least, here's Zack! He's one of my friends as well. He may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, or the most polite gentleman, or the handsomest… what was I saying again?" Lenny asked.

"Hey!" Zack yelled at her from backstage.

"I'm just messing with you, Zack! You know I love you. He's great and has helped me through my time here on the ship. I don't know if the experience would be half as enjoyable without him, and he's taught me so much," Lenny told the crowd. "Now, we're all going to sing a song." She called the others into a circle, "What song are we going to sing?"

"How about something from Agamemnon?" Cody suggested.

"No one knows that but you!" Zack whined.

"Country?" Bailey suggested, but Zack and Cody just balked.

Lenny laughed, "How about something classic – like 'What a Wonderful World'?"

"What about 'Here I Am'?" Zack asked the kids.

"Okay, everyone agreed? Split parts, I'll nod to you when it's your turn," Lenny prompted. They all put their hands together in the center and did a little cheer before turning to the audience. Lenny handed the others the extra mikes and announced, "This is our finale, 'Here I Am'!"

Lenny nodded to Bailey, who started them off, "Here I am in your life."

"Here you are in mine," Lenny sang back.

"I guess we have a sweet life," Cody sang.

"Most of the time!" Zack sang.

They all got together and sang, "You and me we got the world to see so come on down. Just me and you know what to do so come on down!"

"It's you and me!" Cody and Bailey sang.

"And me and you!" Lenny and Zack answered.

"We got the whole place to ourselves," Lenny and Bailey sang.

"You and me we got it all for free so come on down," Cody and Zack responded.

They all sang, "This is the sweet life. We got the sweet life!"

Lenny and her friends bowed as the crowd cheered for them. "Thank you guys for coming!" Lenny announced into the microphone. Then, she led her friends backstage again.

Waiting in Lenny's dressing room were some flowers. "I keep on getting these after every concert. I wonder who keeps on sending them. The card is always blank," she mused.

Zack just laughed uncomfortably, "Looks like you've got yourself an admirer. Okay, so you had a great concert, right?"

"An amazing one! Okay, so who came up with the idea to boost my confidence by getting a huge crowd here and hiding Seth Hanes in it?" Lenny asked.

Her three friends' had their jaws drop. "How did you know?" Bailey asked in shock.

"I figured it out right after intermission. But by then I was too engrossed in entertaining everyone else to really care," Lenny said, "That's why I skipped part of the third verse of that song."

"You are amazing!" Cody exclaimed, "Zack was the one who came up with it, he organized us and everything."

Lenny turned to Zack, "Thank you so much!" she exclaimed, giving him a huge hug. "I've never had anyone boost my confidence so much."

They were interrupted by a knock on the door. "Come in!" Lenny called out, releasing Zack.

"You were all wonderful today," Seth Hanes' voice greeted them. "Especially you, Lenny. I've got something I want to propose to you guys. How would you all like to be signed on with StarBright Records?"

Lenny and Bailey squealed while Zack and Cody gave each other fist pounds. "Thank you!" was the general message conveyed by their mixed up replies.

"I'll give you some time to mull over it a bit, alright?" Seth Hanes said, handing them all his business card. "You know where to find me to come with your decision. I'll be leaving in two days." Seth left the room.

Cody looked at his. "As much as I'm flattered, I'm going to turn this down to continue studying to become a doctor or scientist," he announced.

"Yeah. I think I'm going to do that too. I love singing, but I don't want it as a career," Bailey agreed.

"I'm… Wow… I thought this would always be an easy decision for me… I'm not sure what I'm going to do," Lenny said, sitting down in her chair.

"I'm going to accept it," Zack told them all.

"Why? Mom's not going to let you just quit school like that!" Cody exclaimed.

"I wouldn't be skipping school. I'd still have to be tutored and stuff, duh," Zack retorted.

"Zack, without you we lose the family benefit. Even with mom's discount you know she can't pay for just one of us if the other isn't here to get that extra discount!" Cody exclaimed.

"Zack! Cody!" Bailey yelled over them. "It's late. You can argue this all you want for the rest of the weekend, but we need to get back to our cabins before curfew!"

"Your life is going to go down the drain if you agree to this! You're not even that good of a singer!" Cody screamed at Zack as they left, at the same time as Zack was yelling, "You're just a boring stick in the mud who doesn't believe in dreams coming true or real talent!"

"Lenny, could you please give Cody Martin his smoothie?" Zack asked.

"Why don't you give it to your brother?" Lenny retorted, grabbing her straw and drinking her smoothie.

"Because he doesn't support my dreams!" Zack yelled.

Lenny cleaned out her ear with her finger, "Wow… Okay, fine. But don't take out your LOUD rage on me! If it'll get you to stop yelling, I'll give him his smoothie," she said, grabbing the drink. Lenny walked over to the table where Cody and Bailey were sitting. "Here's your drink, Code. Why are you not talking to Zack again?"

"Who? Oh, the smoothie boy? Because he's a fool who wants to throw away all of these great chances that have been given to him!" Cody yelled.

"Ow! So you're both LOUD ragers!" Lenny exclaimed.

"You have no idea," Bailey commented. "Has it even occurred to you that you yourself are throwing away a great chance?"

"So did you," Cody replied.

"Oh, so you're not only LOUD and angry, you're also cranky. Looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the ship this morning," Lenny commented.

"Cody, you and Zack can't go on like this, you're brothers! And it's his life. His choice isn't going to affect your future. Even though you might… not be able to… stay on the ship… You've got to do all you can to stop him!" Bailey said.

"I've got to get away from all of you or else risk losing my hearing!" Lenny announced, walking away from them all.

Lenny walked into Zack's room. "Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I agree with you."

"Really?" Zack asked from his bed.

"Yup. He is a stick in the mud," Lenny replied.

"So you see it too?" Zack asked.

"No, I mean literally. He was having a mud facial from Bailey to calm him down, but the mud was a little too hot and he freaked out and the mud got all over him…" Lenny laughed, "It was pretty great… Now, back to your problem." Zack opened his mouth to complain about Cody, but Lenny intervened, "I don't want to hear any more of that. Why do you really want to accept this record deal?"

"Aren't you?" Zack asked.

Lenny sighed and sat on the bed beside Zack. "I'm not sure yet. I mean, this is my life long dream but… well, I've been given this amazing chance to study on this boat. In the show biz, they can throw you out in a heartbeat. I need to be educated so that if anything happens, I have a back up plan. Singing has always been easy for me, but school… I've had to work on my own to make that a success. And I feel good about it. I just don't want to throw that away and end up regretting it." Lenny sighed. "Anyway, why are you so eager to accept this deal?"

Zack threw his hands in the air. "If not, I have no future!"

"What?" Lenny asked.

"If I don't accept this deal, I've got no future. I'll never be able to graduate high school, I'll never be able to go to college, and I'll never be able to have a family!" Zack announced angrily.

"Oh… Now I see. Well, Zack, why would you say that? Sure you're not the sharpest tool in the shed, but with a little more determination and some help, who says you can't graduate high school? Then in college you get to pick what you want to study, so I've heard it's a little more bearable," Lenny informed him.

"I don't think I could do even that," Zack replied. "I've wasted too much time."

"It's never too late to turn over a new leaf. The question is: Are you willing to?" Lenny got up from the bed. "I'll leave you for a bit to think about what's your choice. Either way, I'll support you, and Cody will eventually come around, just like Bailey."

"Thanks," Zack said, smiling.

As Lenny was walking out the door, she casually commented, "You know, I'm sure that tons of girls would line up to be your wife to start a family with you."

"Do you know any of them?" Zack asked eagerly.

"I think I might know one of them," Lenny commented with a small smile, closing the door behind her.

"Man she's good!" Zack exclaimed.

The next day, Seth came up to the kids on the Sky Deck. "So, what did you guys decide?"

"Well, thanks, but no thanks," Cody said.

"I'm with him," Bailey agreed, "But thanks for the opportunity."

"What about you, young man?" Seth asked Zack.

"Well… I wanted to. But then, I realized that I would be taking the easy way out. I think I'm going to have to decline," Zack informed Seth. "Besides, I think I've got my future already right here," he smiled, glancing over at Lenny.

Lenny blushed and smiled a little bit. "What about you? I see a lot of promise in you," Seth encouraged Lenny.

"Singing for a record company like this has always been my dream. Ever since I was little, I wanted to get this opportunity. I'm not going to accept the deal, for now. Could I get back to you in, say, six years or so?" Lenny asked, "I want to be prepared for the future, just in case. Moreover, there are some things I don't want to miss." She looked to her side and gave Zack a small grin.

Seth nodded, "You're a bright star indeed. I'll be waiting for your call." Seth smiled, "The best of luck to all of you," he said with a wave, leaving.

"Did you really mean what you said about knowing one of the girls?" Zack asked Lenny as he gave her a smoothie.

"Yeah, of course," Lenny told him.

"Would you mind asking her if she'd like to join me for some lunch after my shift?" Zack asked.

"I think that could be arranged," Lenny smiled.

"It's a date," Zack said, "I'm done in ten more minutes."

"Or…" Lenny said, taking the timer and twisting the dial, "You could do this and end now," she said, as the timer dinged.

"Man, you're good!" Zack told her, throwing off his apron and going around the bar to offer Lenny his arm.

"Oh… or you could take me," Lenny told Zack.

"Weren't you… I mean…" Zack stuttered in confusion.

"I was going to get Ashley Tisdale and ask her if she wanted to go with you," Lenny said.

"Ashley Tisdale's here?" Zack exclaimed.

"Ye-no," Lenny informed him. "I just wanted to see you confused. I'd love to grab lunch. Chili burger with about ten fries in the bun and a cherry soda-lemonade mix, right?"

"You know me too well. And for you a chili burger with cheese and chili cheese fries with a lemonade-sweet tea split?" Zack asked.

"All the time," Lenny replied. "Split a brownie batter sundae?"

"Double fudge," Zack added. "Bet you can't eat your half and I'll have to eat at least three quarters."

"And I bet I'm the one who'll have to eat three quarters of it. You're on," Lenny said as they walked off the deck to the burger joint.
