Okay, I thought of this while I was reading The Dead And The Gone. I had to type it! Oh, my OC, Bailey, is in here. To learn about her, you need to read my other NoCo fic before reading this chapter. And, surprise, it contains two games! Don't understand? Read!


"Cody, I swear, if you do not shut up I am going to get Eva to kill you!" Noah said, hands in his hair as if he was going to tear it out. "I'm not telling you."

Cody had been bugging Noah all afternoon, asking him repeatedly to tell him who he has a crush on. Even when he said no, Cody continued to follow him around the Playa des Losers. Noah should have never made that comment about him never getting Gwen.

"Puh-leeeeease, Noah?" Cody whined.

"No."

"Alright," Cody said, an idea seed planting itself into his brain. "Give me three days to try and find out who you like, if you do like anyone. If I can't figure it out, I'll let it go. If I can, though, you have to ask that someone out. Deal?"

"You also have to give me fifty bucks," Noah said seriously. He had to get some profit out of this.

"What, no!" Cody retorted. He was saving up to buy a new video game. He couldn't let Noah take that. Then, he saw Noah's 'what, are you scared?' face and gave in. "Fine, but you have to give me fifty bucks, too, when I win."

"If you win," corrected Noah while smirking and walking away. Cody had no clue at all whom he liked. He could make an easy fifty bucks and get Cody off his back. Pure genius. "It starts tomorrow."

Cody ran back to his room and grabbed a notepad and pencil. He wrote down all of the girls' names. He would cross off people he knew Noah wouldn't like. So, after fifteen minutes he had crossed off Eva (Cody knew for sure they were just friends), Sadie (she is just annoying!), Gwen (Cody just hadto cross her off, because if Noah liked her, he would punch him), Bridgette (she just didn't seem like Noah's type), Beth (EW!), Lindsay (too dumb), and LeShawna (Noah himself told him he hated her). That left Katie, Courtney, Heather, and Izzy. Cody would have to watch him around them…

*SLASH*SLASH*SLASH*

Cody hid behind a corner. Noah was talking to Courtney at the refreshment bar.

Cody watched, checking to see if Noah was staring at Courtney's…assets or smiling or anything of the sort. Nothing so far. Noah was just reading his book while talking, showing he didn't care. He didn't even try to sneak a glace at her. He sighed. Noah most definitely didn't like Courtney. He crossed off her name on his list. He snuck closer.

"…Can you believe Heather is in the final three? I so deserve it more than her…" Courtney was saying. This was Cody's chance to get Noah's input on Heather! He strained his ears so much he got a slight migraine. The authoress has done that before. Very annoying.

"Honey, you're out," Noah said. "Get over yourself. I don't like her either, smart one. Am I complaining?"

He definitely did not like Courtney, who huffed angrily and walked away as Cody crossed off Heather's name on the list.

He smiled. There was only Katie and Izzy left.

"What is that?" asked Duncan's little sister, Bailey, from behind a bush. Cody jumped. He'd never heard her talk before. All he knew was that Chris said to keep to herself and stay in her room during filming time if she'd wanted to stay here. Cody saw the curiosity in her blue eyes and knew she wouldn't leave him alone until he told her. Wow, just like him. He must get really annoying sometimes.

"It's a list," Cody said, backing up. Bailey sighed and got out of the bush while picking leaves out of her jet-black hair. The tips of her ponytail and bangs were died green, like her brother's faux-hawk. She grabbed the list from him.

"What is this crap?" she asked.

"I'm trying to figure out who Noah has a crush on," Cody explained. Her nose scrunched up and she punched him in the arm. That could've been either because he hadn't added her to the list or because she thought the idea of him doing this was stupid. Either way, that hurt. Ouch.

"That's so stupid," she said as Cody rubbed his arm. Then she got a devious smile on her face. "I love it. I also have a plan."

She was gone before Cody could ask what it was. Cody looked for her the rest of the day, but couldn't find her.

"What a wasted day," Cody said to himself, about to walk into his room with a bottle of water, about to take a sip.

"Want to give up yet?" asked Noah from behind him, making Cody jumped. He turned back around to see Noah leaning against the wall, smirking. Cody saw him look down. Then he chuckled. "Did I scare you?"

Cody looked down, too, and gasped. He had spilled water onto his crotch area when he jumped. That's why Noah was looking down (although, the authoress thinks that there might've also been another reason).

"No," said Cody, answering both of Noah's questions. "You did not scare me and I'm not quitting the bet. I have a plan."

Okay, Bailey had a plan, not him. And, okay, he could not find her. Cody couldn't give up, though, either!

"Suit yourself," Noah threw over his shoulder, along with a crumpled piece of paper, as he walked into the elevator. "Oh, and that list? Very cute, but naïve."

Cody picked up the paper and gasped. It was his list. When did he drop this? Dang it! One thing was clear to the tech-geek now.

He had to find Bailey tomorrow.

*SLASH*SLASH*SLASH*

"Cody! Cody wake up!" a voice yelled. The voice came with an annoying knocking sound. Only when Cody was fully awake did he realize what was going on.

He walked over to the door to see Bailey standing there with steam practically coming out of her ears.

"What?" he asked groggily, trying to rub the sleep out of his eyes. Bailey walked right in.

"Do you know what time it is, young man?" Bailey asked furiously, pointing to her green and black watch. Cody shook his head, thinking that Bailey sounded a lot like his mother at the moment. "Twelve thirty in the afternoon! You've wasted so much time! Put on some pants and meet me in my room on the second floor."

Cody's eyes widened as she walked away. Twelve thirty? Crap, the bet! He had less than a day and a half left. He ran to put his shirt and pants on, trying to fight off the embarrassment of Bailey seeing him in his Yu-Gi-Oh underwear.

As he was running past the pool area to get to the other elevator, he heard conversation.

"OMG, Sadie! I love your swimsuit!" Katie squealed.

"No, I love your swimsuit!" Sadie squealed back. Noah, who was sitting across the refreshment bar from them, rubbed his temples.

"Shut up, you neanderthals," he said coldly. "You have the same swimsuits! Jeez!"

Cody took out his list and crossed off Katie. All that was left was Izzy.

Cody slammed into the elevator door, earning a few stares from the other ex-campers. He ignored it as he got in. When the doors opened again, he saw Bailey standing there. She grabbed his arm and led him into her room. It was smaller than the other rooms, but still large."

"Okay, while you were taking forever," she started, glaring. Cody glanced at the clock. Two o' clock. Dang, he took a long time to get ready. "I made question cards."

"What for?" asked Cody, confused.

"You are going to play twenty questions with Noah. Let me see your list."

Cody handed it to her gingerly, as if she might bite of his finger. "I'm not going to hurt you," she said defensively. "I'm not my brother."

Once she saw only Izzy was left, she crumpled a card. "There, go ask him to play. Leave a window open so I can see and hear."

She pushed him out and he ran back to the pool, taking the stairs instead of the elevator.

"Noah," Cody said, panting. "Follow me."

They walked to Cody's room and Cody shut the door once they were in. He sat down on the ground, Noah close behind. Cody checked if the window was open. It was.

"Want to play twenty questions?" Cody asked innocently. He could tell Noah was about to say no. "If you don't I'll force you to go back by Katie and Sadie."

"Fine," he said, his eye twitching slightly at the idea of having to go back by the BFFFLs.

Cody took out the first note card. "You see, I play it a different way. I ask you twenty random yes or no questions. No categories, no maybes, no sometimes. If I ask you a question that isn't a yes or no question, it still counts as one of the twenty, but you don't have to answer it. Deal?"

Noah nodded and Cody read of another note card. "Do you have a crush on Izzy?"

Noah shook his head. What? That was the only girl left! Cody read another card.

"Are you gay?" I asked. Is Bailey crazy? Cody figured she might've been spending too much time with Izzy. Noah nodded, turning a light pink from embarrassment.

"Who do you like?" Cody asked before realizing what he'd just said. "Wait, never mind!"

"Too late," said Noah, catching on. He looked worried, but tried to hide it. "That was question three!"

"Do you like a guy here?" Cody asked, going back to the note cards. He couldn't make another blunder. He had always neglected to tell Noah that he was bisexual and didn't want to give him any thoughts. Cody wasn't sure if her liked Noah that way, though he has considered it only every other day.

"Yes," Noah said, sighing. "How did I get sucked into this stupid game? Oh, yeah, because of the genius in front of me."

"Is he blond?" Cody asked. Ignoring the comment. Noah shook his head. "Red-haired?"

Noah looked disgusted. "That would imply Harold, so no."

"Black-haired?" Cody said after a chuckle. Noah shook his head.

"Is he a brunette?" asked Cody, getting into the game. Noah nodded, too embarrassed for words at the moment.

"Are his eyes green?" Cody said, abandoning the cards. He knew what to do now. Wait, that question was stupid. None of the guy brunettes were green-eyed. He glanced at the cards, thinking that he shouldn't have abandoned them.

"Brown eyed?" Cody asked, earning another shake of the head. He knew it! The only guys that were left were himself and Tyler. Tyler was brown-eyed, so that left Cody. He decided to tease Noah.

"Blue-eyed?"

"Yes."

"Smart?"

"Yes."

"Handsome?"

"Duh."

Noah's eye twitched. Cody should end this soon. He didn't, though. Bailey watched from the window curiously, smiling.

"Was he on our team?" Cody questioned. Noah nodded. "Is he shorter than you?" Another nod.

"Stronger?" Noah shook his head. Cody almost let out a protest, but caught himself.

"Was he mauled by a bear?" Cody asked.

Noah sighed. "Yes."

"Was there an incident between the two of you during the Awake-A-Thon?" Cody smiled. Two more.

"Yes."

Cody paused for a moment, pretending to think over his next question.

"Is he me?" Cody asked kindly, his face centimeters from Noah's.

"Of course," Noah said, closing the distance between them. They kissed softly, but passionately. It was as if fireworks had gone off. From outside the window, Bailey shouted in delight

"WOOHOO!" she yelled, then covered her mouth as the two boys jumped apart, realizing how loud her outburst was. Cody glared lightly at her. He walked over to the beach ball that was sitting near his bed. Cody picked it up and threw it at her. When it hit, she yelped and fell down. A few seconds later, there was a crash from outside. Noah and Cody weren't worried, it was only seven feet to the ground. Cody went back over to Noah.

"Do you want to go out?" Noah asked.

"Yes I do," Cody replied, smile his infamous gap-toothed smile.

"You still had one more question you know," Noah said.

"Oh, yeah," Cody realized. Then, he smiled. He brought his faces inches away from Noah's and said-

"Can I have my fifty bucks?"


Woohoo! Two updates in one day! I really hate this one, though… Man, I'm hard on myself. Sorry if it was suckish!
