Once again, thanks for the reviews. I appreciate them.
Writers Note. The idea for the scavenger hunt was written weeks before the scenes from the latest eps (they must have got the idea off me!!!!!!!!!!)
Chapter 7- A Hunting We Will Go
The lessons had gone well and Cody was feeling happy about the whole situation. Bailey seemed to enjoy the lessons and Cody had felt more at ease with the day. Even Zack had behaved himself. As the pupils left the class Cody decided he was going to ask Bailey to go for a milkshake with him. But as he headed in her direction he noticed her talking with Zack.
"That sounds like a lot of work." Zack said.
"That is why they call it a project Zack." Bailey said. "I will meet you in your cabin in half an hour." She said. She smiled at Cody and left the room. Zack looked to his brother.
"Great lesson man, I knew that big head of yours could help make a lesson enjoyable for me." Zack said.
"Thanks, and thank for not going to sleep in the middle of it." He said. "You going to meet Bailey later?"
"Yeah, she has decided on the project and I actually have work to do for it. What a bummer."
"Yeah." Cody said in a dishearten way.
"Something wrong?" Zack asked.
"I was going to ask her to go for a milkshake tonight, now she is going to spending more time with you."
"No worries bro, you have plenty of time to work your magic on her. As soon as this project is over she will have all the time in the world for you....oh I gotta go. Bailey needs me to get some stuff for the project." Zack said. He hurried away and Cody watched him leave. He sat down on the chair beside the desk. He was disappointed that he couldn't spend some time with Bailey. He really wanted her to know how he felt. He decided to take his mind off it by trying to get London to work on the project. He had decided to do a project on elements, knowing the talk of gold and silver would at least spark some interest from London. He had gotten his books together and headed to London's room. As he walked in he was shocked to see London surrounded by loads of jewellery.
"What the!" He said.
"I can't do it Cody." She said.
"What?"
"I can't decide what to wear next. The sparkly diamond earrings, or the sparkly diamond earrings. Such a hard decision." She said.
"I feel for you. Its such a taxing decision." He replied. "Now quit playing with your jewellery and let's get started on this project."
"Oh I can't. I am meeting some friends on the sky deck." She said.
"London, we need to get this project started."
"Can't you just start it and I sign my name, Zack told me that this is what he normally does." London said.
"Yes he does, but he still ends up getting a D." Cody said.
"D! That's better then I have ever got. Yay me!!!" She said. Cody was powerless to stop her as she left the room. He decided to head back to his room and get a start on it. As he got closer to his room he could hear giggling and chatting from Zack's room. Once again he found himself hanging outside his brothers room, listening. This time he didn't go in. He decided to ignore it and turned around. Dejected he walked into his room, sat on his bed and opened his books.

Zack had gotten up early the following day. He had no idea why he had woken so early, but he decided to do something worthwhile. He knocked on Cody's door, but there was no answer. He tried the door and it opened. Woody's bed was empty but Cody was still asleep in his.
"Hey Codester, wake up. Time for a full breakfast and a run around the sky deck." He said sitting down on the bed.
"Not in the mood." Cody mumbled from under his covers.
"Oh he is awake. Come on let's get up." Zack said. Cody turned over and looked at his brother.
"Why are you so jolly this morning?" Cody asked.
"No reason. Get dressed, we got a full day off and plenty to do." Zack said.
"How can you be so jolly this morning, after the long evening with Bailey." Cody mumbled.
"It wasn't that long she..........oh I see. You are annoyed that I was with her last night." Zack said.
"I have hardly had time to spend with her, you have seen her more over the last few days then I have." Cody said as he sat up in bed.
"Hey, I wish I didn't spend as much time with her, she is actually getting me to do work."
"Well at least something good is coming from it all then." Cody said. "I thought you were going to help me with her."
"Hey I am. I have been talking about nothing but you, when we are not working that is."
"And how often does Bailey 'not work'?" Cody pointed out.
"Okay, those moments are rare, but I am talking you up buddy. Now up you get. Bailey mentioned she was helping Connie with some activities today. Time to go to the skydeck." Zack said as he pulled the covers off Cody. It wasn't long before the brothers had gotten to the sky deck. It was still early but Bailey and Connie were already on the deck, planning activities for the day.
"I still think a scavenger hunt is a good idea." Bailey was saying to Connie.
"But its old fashioned. I like new and exciting things to do." Connie said.
"You asked for my suggestions, that is what I suggest." Bailey replied.
"I think it's a good idea." Cody said trying to help.
"Thanks Cody, see people like the idea." Bailey said.
"There is only one reason Cody likes it, Its because of......" Zack started to say but Cody elbowed him to keep him quiet.
"Because I like to explore, and so do other's." Cody said.
"Okay I give up. We will do a scavenger hunt." Connie said.
"Cody, why don't you and I become a team, I bet we can find everything, two minds working together." Bailey suggested. Cody's heart started to race and his smile got bigger and bigger. But he didn't answer.
"He accepts." Zack said.
