Chapter 9
Disclaimer: I do not own any Suite Life on Deck characters; I just own the plot and Travis, Daniel, Tiffany, Lily and their parents.
Hola people! Okay so in this chapter the parents are still all here. You get to see more of the gang in this one but the ending is mostly Zack and Lily and it's….interesting haha you'll understand when you get there ;)
Cody's point of view (Set in the same day as the last chapter)
Having everyone's parents here was going great. Although I'm a little nervous about meeting Bailey's mom, she said not to worry but I am anyways. My mom already met Bailey last time she was here, they get along pretty well. Mom was glad that we finally got together.
Right now we were all sitting by the smoothie bar. Lily's mom had just shocked us all with a story about Lily's past in beauty pageants. Lily excused herself and Zack went with her, to comfort her no doubt she seemed pretty mad that her mom brought that up.
"I hope Lily's okay." Bailey said with a worried look on her face
"I'm sure she will be Zack's really good with her." I said placing my arm around her shoulder.
"How long have they been together?" Daniel asked.
"Um around 2 months." I answered.
"Ok I want to meet some girls." Daniel said. "Travis you're my wing man."
"Alright." Travis laughed.
"Oh I gotta see this." Woody laughed. "You guys coming?"
"Actually I was thinking Cody could meet my mom now." Bailey said looking at me."You want to?"
"Yeah sure." I said getting up and following her over to her mother.
"Hey mom." She said
"Hi hon." Deborah said turning around.
"Mom, this is my boyfriend Cody." Bailey said turning to me.
"It's so nice to meet you Cody!" She said hugging me."Bailey has told me so much about you."
"Alright mom." Bailey laughed blushing slightly.
We talked for awhile; I learned that Bailey and her mother are very close along with her sisters. It was really nice getting to know Bailey and her family even more. It was nice for her and her mom to know more about me too. She asked about my mom, my dad, Zack and our friends on the ship.
This whole time I hadn't noticed that mom was gone. Bailey took her mom and gave her a tour around the ship and I went to find my mom. I walked around for a minute or two then I saw mom coming down the stairs.
"Hey mom."
"Hi honey."
"Should we go find Zack so we can show you around a bit before dinner?" I asked
"Um no, you show me around for now I'm sure Zack will be down soon." She smiled. Um ok? Did she know something I didn't?
"Alright let's go."
________The next day_______
Zack's point of view
Today Miss Tutweiller and Mr. Moseby were having a little get together with the parents just to talk to them and stuff, kind of like a parent teacher meeting type thing. Unfortunately all of us had to be there too. Once we got there Cody and I went over to see Travis and Daniel.
"Hey guys." Cody said.
"Hey." Travis and Daniel both said.
"So Daniel how did it go with the girls yesterday?" I asked. Travis immediately started laughing.
"Not so well, I guess I kind of came on a little too strong." Daniel said.
"A little? You walked right up to her and said your hot can I have your number." Travis laughed.
"How did that go over?" Cody asked.
"She pushed him in the pool." Travis said. Then Cody and I burst out into laughter.
I turned around to see Lily slowly walking back from everyone else. It looked like she was trying to find a place to hide.
"I'll be right back." I told everyone. They didn't really care Woody had shown up and was telling them all about the latest song he learned to fart.
I walk over to where I had last seen her and started looking for her.
"Lily!...Lily?...Lil-" I felt someone grab my arm and pull me into the closet.
"Shh!" I Lily said to me. I looked around and realized this was a small closet. It wasn't very wide so it barely had enough room for both of us. Needless to say we were pretty darn close to each other.
"Well hello there" I said in a teasing voice snaking my arms around her waist.
"Not now Zack, as much as I would like to just not now." She said looking a bit frustrated."What were you doing yelling my name like that?"
"I was trying to find you." I said letting go of her."What are you doing in the closet?"
"I'm hiding"
"Why"
"My mom is trying to guilt me into spending the summer with her taking pageant classes and trying to get me back in them." She said. "She's also talking all this craziness about sending me to and all girls' school."
"Wait, can she actually do that?" I asked panicking slightly.
"I don't know she might be able to."
"Why does she want you to leave Seven Seas High?"
"I don't know she hasn't come out and said it yet; I'll try and get it out of her later."
"Alright, how are you doing? I know your mom being here has been taking its tole on you."
"Yes I'm fine for now thanks to you." She smiled wrapping her arms around my neck."Thank you so much Zack, you have been so good to me through this whole thing."
"Lily I really don't mind, you're important to me and I'll do anything for you." I said and it was true I would.
She just stared at me for a few seconds then she crashed her lips onto mine. I didn't question why she kissed me I just went with it, wrapping my arms around her bringing her closer to me.
While all this was going on outside Miss Tutweiller asked Travis, Daniel and Woody to go get more paper plates and cups from the closet, the same closet we were in. Lily and I never heard them say that or heard them coming so we just continued what we were doing.
"Do you know where th- Wow!" Travis said opening to door. Lily and I pulled out of the kiss but I kept my arms around her waist.
"Ok I'll bite." Daniel said breaking the silence."Why are you two in the closet?"
"I think it's pretty obvious why there in the closet." Woody laughed.
"Oh no, I came in here to hide from my mother and Zack is in here because he almost blew my cover." Lily said looking over that me.
"Okay whatever you say." Travis said not buying it at all even if it was the truth. "We're here for paper plates and cups."
"Oh here." I said letting go of Lily and getting the plates and cups and handing to them to Travis.
"So are you guys coming out or are you going to stay in here for awhile." Travis laughed.
I looked over at Lily and she nodded her head.
"Yeah where coming."I answered.
We walked over to Miss Tutweiller and handed her the plates and cups then we went back over with Cody and Bailey.
"Where were you two?" Cody asked Lily and me. Before I could say anything Woody answered for me.
"They were making-out in the closet." He said and turning away before I could smack him.
"Really?" Bailey laughed looking at Lily.
"No, I was hiding from my mom and Zack came to see where I went." She said rolling her eyes.
"Really? Because when we came in you two where all over each other." Daniel said.
"Well that's true but that only started a couple minutes before you guys came in." I defended. Everyone just laughed including Lily and I.
Lily's point of view
After about an hour or two the "parent teacher" thing was finally over.
"Ready to go Lillian?" My mom asked walking over to me.
"Um just one second I need to ask Zack something." I said walking back over to Zack with mom behind me.
"Hey, so are we going to meet up later?" I asked.
"Yeah sure, are you going to be in your room?" He asked.
"Yup, so an hour? More? Less?"
"Less" He replied quickly then smiled and whispered in my ear."After what happened in that closet, much less."
All I could do was laugh." Alright so half an hour?"
"Perfect and maybe we can go skateboarding later?"
"Yeah, so see you at my room?"
"Yes I will see you then." He kissed me quickly on the check then walk back over to Cody.
I turned around to see my mother right behind me waiting.
"Alright let's go." I said.
We walked back to my room, all the way there she continued to go on about the pageant classes and the all girls' school. Once we got to my room I left the door opened a little bit so Zack could come in when he got here. My mother continued talking for 20 minutes before I decided that it was time to see were this all girls school nonsense was coming from.
"Mom?" I said finally getting her to stop.
"Yes darling?"
"Why do you want me to go to an all girl's school?"
"Oh I just think it would be a good experience for you." She said and I could tell that it was a lie.
"And going to school on a cruise ship isn't a good experience?" I challenged calling out her lie.
"Well….I …umm. ..you see-" She said trying to make up an excuse but I cut her off.
"Mom what's the real reason you don't want me going to school here?"
"Because I want you to start acting more lady-like and proper, like when you were younger."
"So what does living on a cruise ship have to go with that? I wouldn't act that way anywhere." I said starting to raise my voice.
"I just think it would be more helpful if you where around more girls like that! Maybe take some lessons! And I don't think that boyfriend of yours is helping much either! What with the talk of skateboarding and other things a proper girl shouldn't be doing! He's just a bad influence!" She said now yelling as well. Once she finished her sentence I notice she was looking behind me.
I turned around to see Zack standing in the doorway. I knew by the look on his face he had heard everything my mother and I had said. I shot my mother one last glance and then walk out of the room grabbing Zack's hand on my way. He didn't say anything as I walked out onto the opened deck breathing in the fresh air trying to calm down.
I finally turned to Zack who had been standing next to me the whole time. "Zack don't listen to her sh-"
"No." He said cutting me off."Maybe she's right."
"No Zack you-"
"Lily, I don't want to make the relationship between you and your mother worse." He said looking very serious."I told you I would do anything for you, maybe the thing I should do for you now is to stay away from you."
Once I heard that my heart sank and I could feel the tears in my eyes building up until they slipped over the edge of my eyelids, running down my cheeks.
Ooo drama! Hmm I wonder what's going to happen next. Well I already know but you will have to wait and see. So let me know what you guys are thinking right now. The next chapter should be up soon since I already started it :P I swear I couldn't get this story out of my head over my vacation haha but that's ok It just shows how much I love it :) I'm sure you guys don't mind. Please review thanks!
