Chapter 15
Disclaimer: I do not own any Suite Life on Deck characters; I just own the plot and Travis, Daniel, Tiffany, Lily and their parents.
AN: Hey guys! I know its been too long but I haven't had Internet for a week :O It was a hard week haha. So this is the first chapter of the Christmas part of this story! I'm very excited because Christmas is my favorite time of year. I have to thank all of you guys for the wonderful ideas you gave me :) They helped a lot. I finally decided to combine 2 of Elianna22's ideas because I couldn't decide between them. I realize that part of this story may be like The Suit Life of Zack and Cody episode "Christmas at the Tipton" but I tried to make it my own and also another part will change things. Ok enough of my explanations! Haha enjoy the chapter!
Cody's point of view
It was the 22nd of December, almost time for Christmas. Today would be the day that all of us students would be docking in Jamaica and flying home for the holidays. I was excited to go back to the Tipton and see everyone but I was sad to leave everyone on the ship, espeically Bailey.
We would be docking in about an hour or so and I was already packed. I decided to go and see Bailey. I walked down towards her room and knocked on the door.
"Hey Cody." Bailey said as she opened the door. "Come in."
"Hey Bails, what are you up to?" I asked sitting on her bed.
"Not much just finished packing." She said zipping up her suitcase and putting it by the door.
"Awesome, so wheres London?" I asked noticing that she wasn't in the room.
"She went to one of her many 'closets' on the ship to get some more of her clothes." She laughed sitting next to me.
"Of course she did." I laughed then she leaned over and put her head on my shoulder
"I'm gonna miss you." She said looking up at me with her brown eyes and I wrapped my arms around her shoulder.
"I'm gonna miss you too Bailey." I said as I kissed her forehead. "But don't worry its not for long and we have the phone, video chat all that stuff."
"Yeah thats true." She smiled.
I looked down at my watch and saw that it was 2:00pm. "Hey we better get to the sky deck."
"Why?" She asked standing up.
"Remember? Were all exchanging gifts before we leave." I said starting to walk to the door.
"Oh right!" She smiled.
We walked hand in hand towards the sky deck, admiring all the beautiful lights and decorations along the way. Once we got there we saw everyone sitting around the big Christmas tree they had on the sky deck.
"Hey everyone." Bailey said sitting with everyone else.I laughed at her excitement and sat next to her.
"Hey guys, so ready to get this started?" London asked very excited. London had been going crazy all month, this gave her an excuse to shop and she loved it.
"Yeah sure." I said. "Who wants to do fir-"
I was cut off by Mr Moseby's voice over the loud speaker. "All Seven Seas High Students please report to the sky deck immediately."
"Uh oh." Zack said. "That cant be good."
"You never know, maybe he just wants to say goodbye and wish us a merry Christmas." Lily said standing up.
One thing you gotta love about Lily is her positivity. I laughed as we all walked over to where Mr Moseby was standing. After a few minutes all the students were there along with Miss Tutweiller.
"Alright everyone I'm afraid I have some bad news." Oh great. I looked down at Bailey and she looked worried so I took her hand.
"I just got a call from the airline in Jamaica and they said all there flights have been canceled until further notice."
Everyone was a big twitter of questions and complaints.
"But why Mr Moseby?" Miss Tutweiller asked.
"Because there is a hurricane starting in Jamaica and its getting worse by the hour. The winds make it to dangerous to fly anywhere."
"So what are we going to do?" Woody asked.
"Well we cant be on the water during a hurricane so were docking the ship in a big harbor covered by a roof. Its made especially for hurricanes, that way the passengers can stay on the ship yet out of harms way. As for you students you'll be staying in a hotel across the street from the airport. That way as soon as the hurricane has settled you can catch your flights." Mr Moseby finished.
"How long will the hurricane last?" Travis asked.
"I'm not sure yet, but an average hurricane lasts a few days. I'm sorry kids but I'm not certain you'll all make it home for Christmas." Mr Moseby said was happy about that bit of news.
"Once you get to the hotel you will be calling your matter how long the hurricane lasts you will still be going home for awhile." Mr Moseby said then turned to Miss T. "Miss Tutweiller would you be so kind as to help me chaperon the kids?"
"Yes of course Mr Moseby, not to be rude but why are you chaperoning? Dont you have to stay on the ship?" She asked.
"Actually no, a replacement came in for holidays and I'm going back to Boston." Mr Moseby told her.
"Alright everyone! So we dock in Jamaica in about a half an hour . Make sure all your things are packed and ready to go. Once we dock Miss Tutweiller and I will meet you all in the lobby of the boat and we will head to the hotel." He said walking away with Miss Tutweiller.
We all turned back to eachother with the same sad and dissapointed expressions.
"We'll I guess we don't need to exchange gifts right away." Woody said breaking the silence.
"Yeah thats true." I said laughing slightly. "We'll we better go get our bags and stuff, meet you in the lobby."
We all went to our cabins to get our bags. Woody and I were just making sure we didn't forget anything.
"We'll this sucks dosent it?" Woody asked.
"Yeah pretty much." I answered flatly. "Hopefully the hurricane will end soon and we can go home."
"Cross our fingers." Woody said. "I cant wait to get my hands on some of my moms home made Christmas desserts."
"If there anything like the cookies she brought on board when she came I bet you cant wait." I laughed, his mom did bring some awesome cookies.
He laughed and I told him I would meet him soon. I wanted to go meet Bailey.I walked back down to her room and opened the door.
"Hey Bailey."
"Oh hey Cody." She said turning away from me. I walked over closer and I saw that she had been crying.
"Hey, whats wrong?" I asked putting my hand on her shoulder.
"I'm just sad about not being home for Christmas I guess." She answered shrugging her shoulders.
"I know, it will be different for all of us but we'll make it through and we will be back to our families soon. Maybe not on Christmas but soon." I told her.
"Yeah, Thanks Cody." She said kissing my cheek. "On the bright side I wont have to miss you as long."
"See always perks." I laughed. "Alright lets get down to the lobby and get to the hotel."
"Okay." She said. I took her hand and we walked down to the lobby were Mr Moseby, Miss Tutweiller and the rest of the students were standing.
____At the hotel____
Zack's point of view
"Okay students!" Mr Moseby said getting us to be quite in the lobby in the hotel." Okay we will be having the same roommates as on the ship, so here are your room keys."
Mr Moseby passed out all the room keys and told us that once we got to our rooms to call our parents. I was going to put my bags in my room then go over to Cody's so that we could call Mom, knowing she would want to talk to both of us.
"Wow nice rooms." I said to Travis as we walked in.
"I'll say." Travis laughed.
Our room was pretty big. We had a little kitchen area (smaller then our one at home) with a small table with four chairs. A t.v with an X-Box and a Wii (Sweet i know!) a couch and two arm chairs and a big picture window. Then against the far wall there was a big double glass door. We opened them and there were 2 double beds with a smaller t.v and a chair in the corner.
"Alright we'll you go ahead and call your parents i'm gonna go over to Codys and call Mom." I said setting my bags down.
"Cool, I'll see you later." He said reaching for the phone.
I walked out of my room and across the hall over to Cody's room and knocked on the door.
"Hey Zack." Woody said opening the door.
"Woodchuck." I said walking into the room and sat next to Cody by the phone.
"Alright Zack I have the phone on speaker phone, just waiting for Mom to answer." He told me as the phone kept ringing.
"Cool."
"Hello, Boston Tipton." Charlotte answered. Charlotte was the new manager that was hired after Moseby, she was really nice.
"Hey Charlotte its Zack and Cody, can we have our moms room please?" I said.
"Oh hello boys, sure one second." I don't know why but we couldn't use the direct line were it called right to our room.
"Hello?" Mom answered.
"Hi Mom." Cody and I said.
"Oh my boys! When are you getting here?" She said sounding very excited. This was going to be hard.
"Ughh Mom we have some bad news." I said
"Yeah we might not be able to get in for Christmas, there's a hurricane down here in Jamaica and they canceled our flights." Cody said.
"Oh that's too bad, I'm gonna miss you guys." She said. I knew she was disappointed.
"We'll miss you too Mom but were right next to the airport so we will be on the first flight out once the storm is over." I told her.
"I'm just glad our safe boys. Call me soon and kept me updated." She said. "I love you, goodbye."
"Bye Mom, love you too." I said.
"Love you, we'll call you soon, bye." Cody told her, hanging up the phone.
"Well that went better than I thought." Cody said.
"Yeah I'll say." I said getting up. "I'm gonna go see Lily. Later Codster, Woodchuck."
I walked out and went down all the way to the end of the hallway, last door on the right. That's were Lily told me her room was.
"My beautiful Lillian." I said knocking on the door. When there was no answer I tried again. "Lils?..Lily?...Lillian?"
All of a sudden the door flew opened and an old lady was standing there smiling at me. I jumped back from the door in surprise.
"Beautiful huh? Well aren't you a charmer." She giggled and started batting her eyes. "I may be a little old for you but age is only a number right?"
"Oh um i'm sorry Miss I was looking for my girlfriends room." I said quickly.
"Zack?" I looked to down the hall and saw Lily walking towards me. "What are you doing?"
"Oh I got your room number mixed up and I ended up here." I laughed then turned back to the lady. "Once again im sorry."
"Thats alright." She laughed then turned to Lily. "Hang onto him he's a charmer."
"Don't I know it." Lily smiled. "I think I'll keep him around for awhile."
"Good." I smiled and kissed her forehead."Goodbye Miss."
We walked away and Lily lead me to her real room which was 2 doors down from mine.
"This is my room, silly." She laughed opening the door.
"I'll remember that." I said laughing along with her. "So did you call your Dad?"
"Yeah and my mom." She said. "I was supposed to spend today and tomorrow with her then the rest with my dad and Nathan."
"Ah I see."
"Yeah were not sure what the plan is yet." She said standing in front of the picture window looking out at the wind whipping the rain all around.
I walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her. "Dont worrie Lils, it will all work out."
Suddenly there was a big flash of light and a crash of thunder. Lily screamed and turned so her face was buried in my chest.
"Hey, hey its okay." I said rubbing her back."Its just thunder."
"I know." She said looking up. "It just surprised me."
"I don't mind." I laughed pulling her closer then setting my chin on her shoulder.
She tilted her back and laughed. "I know you don't." She moved her hands from my neck to the back of my head and kissed me.
"You wanna go check out the rest of the hotel now?" She asked once we broke apart.
"Yeah sure, we'll see what there is around this place." I said taking her hand.
___Hours Later___
This hotel wasn't too different from the Tipton. They had a great restaurant, which is were we had dinner and an indoor and outdoor pool but of course we wouldn't be using the outdoor one. They also had a private lounge that guests can reserve and they let us use it as a place to hang out or whatever.
It was about 9 o'clock now and we were all in the lounge by the big fire place. It was really nice in the lounge, the lights, decorations and big Christmas tree.
"So Christmas in a hotel in Jamaica during a hurricane." Bailey said from her spot next to Cody.
I laughed. "Deja vu, right Cody and London?" They laughed along with me and everyone else looked confused.
"What the hell are you guys talking about?" Travis asked.
"A few years ago we all got snowed into the Tipton on Christmas Eve." Cody said then explained the whole story.
"Wow, thats crazy." Travis said.
"Yeah its gonna be...different." Bailey said.
We all got really quiet in agreement, remembering that we weren't going home.
"Oh come on guys." Lily said standing up from the couch. "I'm sure we can find a way to make this special."
"You think?" London asked. " I don't have my decorators, my caterer or my hair and makeup people."
"As wonderful as all that is London, I'm sure we can get by without it and have some fun." Lily said laughing lightly. "I almost never spend a holiday in the same place but as long as you keep an opened mind and stay positive it will turn out great."
I leaned over and grabbed her hand and kissed it, she smiled at me.
"She right guys." Cody said.
"Thank you Cody." She said giving him a high five. "I mean we have this huge hotel and a few days, lets make the most of it."
We all agreed that night that we would make the best of this unfortunate situation, we weren't sure how but we would.
AN: Okay so in my opinion this chapter wasn't my best. I'm not sure if I will get the all the Christmas chapters done before I go away on the 22nd but I'm gonna try my hardest to get at least one or two more chapters out before then. Anyways let me know what you think about this chapter :) Thanks guys!
