A Pink BracketBuster 5, Suite Life Edition: Chapter 4
A/N: The Final Four is set, meaning it's time for chapter 4 of PBB 5, as we get more reactions to what again was a crazy and fantastic weekend of college basketball. Now at the end of chapter 3 I said chapter 4 would be split by show again, well I have changed my mind; both versions of the story will have the same chapter 4, same goes for all remaining chapters of the story. Alright I hope everyone enjoys chapter 4, and as always let me know your thoughts by leaving a review.
Summary: After meeting the Suite Life crew in my story "Power Rangers on Deck" the Rangers invite them to join the craziness that is the Angel Grove/Reefside Madness Tournament
Disclaimer: As always, I only own my original characters (Phil Savitt, Jen Jackson, Chelsea Matthews, Lindsey Stewart, and Crystal Johnson). Everything else I DO NOT OWN.
Couples/Alma Maters/Future Schools: All those can be found in chapter 1.

"The Gators and Cougars go to overtime again, but this time the Gators come out on top, ending Jimmer and BYU's season here in New Orleans."
"Well, just like UConn and Syracuse, I guess when our teams meet overtime is a must," Lindsey said to Kim once the game was over.
"Sorry we had to end your season, but you know how payback works," Kim said with a smile as she and Lindsey hugged.
"So why is it you are always nice to those two when it comes to this stuff, yet when your school or pick meets up with my pick or the UCLA group, all hell breaks loose," Hayley asked from the counter.
"Because they don't start anything," Kim said pointing to both Lindsey and Justin. "It's always Tommy and Jason starting stuff with its Florida/UCLA, and you miss were pretty cocky over the fact that Blake Griffin was going to crush UNC before that game two years ago," Kim added, as Hayley could only nod in agreement, herself along with those two do tend to go a little overboard around this time of year when it came to the most exciting event in sports.
"Besides, it's not like Florida owns Stanford they way they own UCLA," Justin added.
"I heard that," Jason yelled from the back room, causing the four to laugh.
S.S. Tipton; Sports Lounge
"UConn marches onto to the Elite Eight as they eliminate San Diego State."
As Maya and Woody watched Zack and Addison celebrate another UConn win, Maya leaned over towards Woody.
"I think I'm starting to regret not picking UConn," Maya whispered to her roommate's boyfriend.
"Well don't, our teams will come through tomorrow," Woody responded.
"But what if neither makes it, and UConn makes the final, those two will have a points advantage on us," Maya said back.
"Don't worry I have faith Ohio State can beat UConn, Woody said.
"Better beat Kentucky first," Addison said to her boyfriend as she and Zack turned their attention back to their friends.
"We told you guys you would regret picking UConn, and I know you are," Zack said to both, but he was clearly looking at his girlfriend.
"Don't worry though Woody, once UConn wins it all, and I win the pool, you'll get to go to the Super Bowl with me, so it'll kinda be like you won," Addison said.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa," Zack interrupted. "It is me and Maya who are going to the Super Bowl," Zack said, as now he and Addison were having a stare down, which Maya and Woody could only laugh at.
Honda Center; Anaheim, California
"And your final score of today's first contest, the UConn Huskies 74, the San Diego State Aztecs 67."
"Wow, it sucks to see such a great run come to an end," Cassidy says to Devin.
"Yeah, but it's a season we'll always remember," Devin responded as they shared a kiss.
"Your boys never gave up, it was just too much Kemba and Lamb," Zack said as he and Carlos congratulated Cassidy and Devin on their school's amazing run before they had to leave to do their live reports.
"Alright enough of this UConn stuff, its Zona time," Wes said excitedly.
"Duke is going down," Eric said to Rocky and Conner.
"You know I heard that a lot this time last year and it never happened," Conner said with a smile.
"Well that's about to change, you never had Derrick Williams to deal with," Wes said.
"Well no one last year had to deal with Kyrie Irving either, difference maker right there," Rocky added.
Two Hours Later
"And your final score the Arizona Wildcats 93 and the Duke Blue Devils 77, Arizona will now meet UConn here on Saturday for the West Regional Final."
Eric and Wes were going nuts as Rocky and Conner sat in their seats stunned.
"Guess Duke forgot that basketball games are forty minutes long, not twenty," Wes said.
"Smith, Singler, and Irving who," Eric added.
"Who cares, it's all about Derrick and Mo Mo," Wes responded.
Rocky and Conner then turned to Carlos and Zack
"Go UConn," the two said.
"If you two jinx UConn you'll be worse than Andros and Zhane," Carlos said to the two, hoping the jinx hadn't just been put on his pick.
S.S. Tipton; London and Bailey's cabin
"An amazing second half performance sends the champs packing, as Arizona moves onto the Elite Eight and a match up with UConn."
Marcus could only sit in shock after Duke's falter in the second half.
"Told you to pick North Carolina," London said happily from behind her boyfriend, to which Marcus still didn't respond.
"Better go spend some quality time with your platinum record before its mine," London added, which caused Marcus to quickly leave the room, as London could only smile.
S.S. Tipton; Kirby's cabin
"The Butler run will continue, as they defeat Wisconsin 61-54, setting up a date with Florida in the Elite Eight."
"Dang, well it was a good run, and at least I didn't make some crazy bet like the others," Kirby said to himself before he heard his security guard radio go off.
"We have a 740 at the buffet, repeat a 740 at the buffet, requesting back up," the guard over the radio said.
"Woody better not be trying to steal crab legs again," Kirby said as he grabbed Lil' Kirby and made his way towards the buffet.
Chelsea and Conner's apartment; Long Beach, California
"The Butler run will continue, as they defeat Wisconsin 61-54, setting up a date with Florida in the Elite Eight."
"Well my pick may be gone, but at least Duke is out as well," Chelsea said as she turned off the TV and started to get ready for a night on the town with her girls.

"North Carolina onto the Elite Eight as they easily dispatch of Marquette."
"One more win and our pick is in the Final Four," Aisha said happily as she and Adam shared a high five.
"And hopefully when they get there I can finally get a prize in this thing," Adam said back.
"Yeah I can't believe you have never placed in this thing," Aisha said.
"I always start well, and then falter down the end," Adam responded.
"So kinda like every monster we have ever faced," Aisha said.
"Exactly," Adam said while laughing.
Meanwhile over at another TV.
"Kansas is one win away from their first Final Four since 2008, as the Jayhawks roll over the Spiders from Richmond 77-57."
"Rock chalk," Jason and Kat chanted.
"Jayhawk," Jen and Trent responded.
"Oh how I so like this team," Trent said.
"Finally, something positive out of your mouth about Kansas instead of talk of redemption," Jason said in a teasing manner.
"And finally something out of your mouth to Trent about Kansas that doesn't involve 2008," Kat said back to Jason.
"Touché," was all Jason could respond with.
S.S Tipton – London and Bailey's cabin
"North Carolina onto the Elite Eight as they easily dispatch of Marquette."
"Yay UNC!" London said happily as she clapped her hands before sharing a hug with Maya.
"I can't believe Zack said once that you hated me," Maya responded after the surprise hug from London.
"How could I hate you, you dress better then Bailey, and have a great taste in teams to pick," London responded as Maya just smiled, knowing that London didn't know the full details of the latter.
S.S. Tipton; Cody and Woody's cabin
"Kansas is one win away from their first Final Four since 2008, as the Jayhawks roll over the Spiders from Richmond 77-57."
"Rock chalk Jayhawk, Rock chalk Jayhawk," Cody chanted after the Kansas win.
"Cody, you are acting like you picked Kansas instead of me," Bailey said as she couldn't help but to laugh at her boyfriend's antics.
"Well my pick and Washington are out, so I gotta root for someone, might as well be my beautiful Bailey Bunny's favorite team, especially if they get us to the Super Bowl, which will no doubt have the Patriots in it," Cody said.
"Well before we worry about us and the Patriots getting to Indy, let's make sure that KU gets to Houston first," Bailey said as she kissed her boyfriend.

"Knight with the ball for Kentucky, he takes a jumper for the lead, and its good, Kentucky up two with nine seconds left."
Everyone at Hayley's erupted into cheers, well everyone except Skull, but especially Tommy, TJ, and Bulk when the shot went in. Everyone was glued to this game now cheering every big time shot made, while Tommy, TJ, and Bulk hoped that shot was enough for their pick to win, while Skull just hoped Ohio State had one last miracle in them.
"Craft bring the ball up court, gets it to Buford, Buford with a three for the win, no good, ball batted out towards center court, and the ball game is over, Kentucky has upset the number one overall seed in the tournament Ohio State, final score Wildcats 62, Buckeyes 60."
Skull's head just dropped as Tommy, TJ, and Bulk celebrated with everyone else. Skull and buzzer beaters did not go well, in last year's tournament Sparty hit a buzzer beater to eliminate Skull's alma mater Maryland, while Tennessee blocked a buzzer beater shot to eliminate his pick Ohio State, and this year Ohio State was again unable to hit the biggest shot of the game.
Bulk then sat down next to his best friend.
"Don't even say it Bulk, or I'll get Master Xandred's goons on you," Skull said, causing Bulk to leave in a hurry, before he could drop any you can't trust Ohio line.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO," Moseby and Woody screamed as Miss Tutweiller, Zack, Maya, and Addison could only look on, all four smiling.
"O H," Zack said.
"Uh oh," Maya responded, as Addison and Tutweiller laughed.
"Good one babe," Zack said kissing Maya.
"I try, though I have heard that one before, especially after all the recent issues with their football program," Maya said back.
"Well then Woody, you better hope Kemba and company can't get it done for a while, or you'll be lacking sweets for a seven day time period," Addison said before kissing Woody on the cheek and heading off with Maya and Zack back to her and Maya's cabin. As they headed back to the cabin, Maya had a big smile on her face, Zack had no idea what the result of that game meant, especially after a little change she made.
"What are you so happy about," Zack asked his girlfriend.
"Oh you'll see eventually don't worry," Maya responded as Zack had a confused look on his face before shrugging it off as nothing major.
Meanwhile back in the sports lounge Miss Tutweiller also had a huge grin on her face; Mr. Moseby had no idea just how big of an impact that result would have on their bet.

"For the second straight year Butler is going to the Final Four, as they hold off Florida in overtime."
With all the cheering of that result going on at Hayley's you would think those doing the cheering would have actually picked Butler to make the Final Four. A last that wasn't the case, they were just celebrating Florida's exit from the tournament.
"Thank you Butler," Jason and Tommy said at the same time, only to get a look that could kill from Kim.
"Go UNC and VCU," Phil said to the both, as that's who Tommy and Jason's picks would meet in their Elite Eight games tomorrow.
"And let us not forget who eliminated to Bruins two rounds ago, and in 2006, and in 2007," Kim said with a sweet smile, and like always it got the two UCLA alums to quiet down, but not without one final shot fired.
"Our school may be gone, but at least our picks are still alive," Tommy said as the two got ready to watch the day's second game.
"Just too bad Kansas won't get to beat Florida in the Final Four to set up a match up with Kentucky," Jason said.
"Is that your final," Tommy asked his best friend.
"No, just sucking up to you," Jason said as Tommy responded with a playful punch to the shoulder.
Honda Center; Anaheim, California
"And your final score of today's game the UConn Huskies 65 and the Arizona Wildcats 63. Congratulations to the UConn Huskies for winning the West Region and advancing to the Final Four."
For the first time all tournament long Eric and Wes were silent, as their alma mater's quest came up just two points short of the Final Four. Carlos and Zack on the other hand, they didn't need words to celebrate their pick's trip to the Final Four, they just had to show Eric and Wes their signs again.
Kemba Derrick is what Zack's sign said.
Mo Mo Who? is what Carlos' sign read.
S.S. Tipton; Sports Lounge
"From the west UConn comes again, fourth Final Four trip for the Huskies, all four times they have come from the West Region, as the Huskies defeat Arizona here in Anaheim.
"UConn, UConn, UConn, UConn," was the chant coming from the sports lounge on the S.S. Tipton as Zack, Maya, Woody, and Addison celebrated their future college's trip to the Final Four.
"Thanks again for letting me back on the bandwagon after I made such a stupid mistake," Woody said to Addison.
"Well I had to, since it's up to me now to get us to the Super Bowl," Addison responded.
"Hurtful," Woody said back to his girlfriend.
"Oh I was just joking around," Addison said before kissing her boyfriend.
"This is so awesome," Maya said to Zack.
"And will be more awesome next year when we are on campus when this happens," Zack says as he kisses Maya. "Now Carolina better win tomorrow, I want our picks meeting in the Final Four so we have the best shot possible at going to the Super Bowl, especially since I picked UNC to make the Final Four," Zack added.
Maya could only smile at Zack's comment, he had no idea.
Sunday March 27, 2011
Bulkmeier's Bar & Night Club; Angel Grove, California
The excitement that was ringing through Hayley's the day before in Reefside was nowhere to be found yet on this Sunday, after a stunning outcome in the opening contest.
"VCU has shocked the world; the Rams are going to Houston and the Final Four, as they stun Kansas here in San Antonio 71-61."
"Unbelievable," was all Trent could say as he stormed out of the establishment, Kira trailing right behind him.
"That boy is always going to find misery in the state of Kansas," Kat said as Billy gave his wife a consoling hug.
"Well bro, I guess it's all up to you now, we won't get the showdown we wanted to decide things," Jason said to Tommy.
"Guess I went to the Kansas well one too many times," Jen said to Ethan as her boyfriend gave her a hug.
"Hey it happens, this thing is unpredictable every year, besides you'll still end up doing a hell of a lot better than me," Ethan responded.
"That's true," Jen said before kissing Ethan.
S.S. Tipton; Cody and Woody's cabin
"VCU has shocked the world; the Rams are going to Houston and the Final Four, as they stun Kansas her in San Antonio 71-61."
"You ok Bails," Cody asked his girlfriend, who had remained quiet since the fate of the game was determined.
"It's not fair Cody," Bailey said as Cody wrapped his girlfriend up in a hug.
"Too be fair, if the tournament was fair it wouldn't be much fun, and we would have no reason to watch or fill out brackets," Cody responded.
"I know that, I was more going for its not fair that Kansas gets knocked out the day after Yale got eliminated in the ice hockey tournament," Bailey said
"Yeah that one sucked as well, maybe next year though when we are there, wouldn't have been able to take part in the all the fun had it happened this year," Cody said.
"Good point," Bailey responded.
"Come on, let's go get a smoothie and watch the UNC/Kentucky game with London and Maya," Cody said as the two walked hand in hand out of his cabin and up to the Sky Deck.
Bulkmeier's Bar & Night Club; Angel Grove, California
"For the first time since 1998 Kentucky is going to the Final Four, UConn awaits as the Wildcats defeat UNC 76-69."
The silence that engulfed Bulkmeier's a few hours ago was now gone, as the celebration was now on for Tommy, TJ, and Bulk.
"For My Old Kentucky Home, For My Old Kentucky Home," the three sang throughout the place as the song blared through the speakers.
"Never thought I would see those three singing that song," Stone said to Ernie.
"That's true, though to be fair, I never imagined singing Take Me Home Country Roads with you until we did that this time a year ago," Ernie responded as Stone could only nod his head.
"Congrats handsome, about time you picked something right," Kim teased her husband before kissing him.
"We are going to win this thing this year," TJ said to Crystal as he picked her up and spun her around.
"Hey that's my move," Tommy shouted at him as TJ could only laugh.
"You mean you are going to win this thing, no partners like last year," Crystal said.
"But when we are at the Super Bowl next year, it'll be like we won it together, after falling short last year," TJ responded.
"I like the sound of that," Crystal responded, followed by a kiss for her husband.
S.S. Tipton; Sports Lounge
"For the first time since 1998 Kentucky is going to the Final Four, UConn awaits as the Wildcats defeat UNC 76-69."
"Duke may have gone down, but at least Carolina did too," Marcus said to London after the game.
"Who cares, I'm just in it to beat you and win that record," London said happily to her boyfriend.
"But what about the prizes," Marcus responded.
"Duh baby, I'm rich, I can buy all of them myself, yay me!" London clapped.
"Well your pick may be done, but our school made it to Houston, and I promise you we are going to Indy next February, no one, not even Addison is topping me," Zack said to Maya.
"I like the sound of that," Maya said with smile, she didn't know when she would tell Zack how wrong his last statement was, but she knew it would be before the next games though.
Little did Maya know though, she wouldn't have to tell Zack the news.
Miss Tutweiller's cabin
Miss Tuweiller could only smile as she saw that Kentucky beat North Carolina. Just like Kentucky's last win, Emma knew that Marion had no idea how big a win that was for her bracket.
"Everyone knows I love cats and would never pick against them," Emma said as she started to work on a lesson plan.
Later that night
Zack and Marcus' cabin
Zack was currently checking out their bracket group online and comparing the scores to the others that Jason had emailed to him, when he noticed something suspicious.
"Wait how does Maya have possible points left, Carolina was her title pick, and she had UConn not making the final, and there is no way she picked Butler or VCU to go this far," Zack said to himself as he clicked on his girlfriend's bracket, and that's where he saw it.
"Oh no she didn't," was all Zack could say.
Moseby's cabin
"Wait a minute, how cane Emma have possible points left, she said her Final Four was Ohio State, UConn, Purdue, and Florida, with UConn not making the final game," Moseby said as he clicked on Emma's bracket, and much like Zack that's where he saw it.
"She pulled a fast one on me," Moseby said with some anger, only for that anger to turn towards nervousness. "Oh dear, this isn't good for me," Moseby said as he slumped in his chair.
A/N: Alright everyone that is chapter four I hope you enjoyed it. Just two teams remain when it comes to the picks, and they will meet each other in Saturday's second game, as Tommy, TJ, and Bulk's pick Kentucky meets Carlos and Power Rangers Zack's pick, Woody and Maya's school, and Suite Life Zack and Addison's school/pick UConn, with the winner moving onto Monday night to face the VCU/Butler winner for the national championship. Also in chapter four we learn what Zack and Moseby found out about Maya and Tutweiller's brackets. Again I hope everyone enjoyed the chapter, see you all next week when a champion has been crowded.
