Previously:

They all nod their heads and leave in the couples assigned, each discussing their plan of action. The last out the door, are Maddie and Zack. After locking up, he takes her hand and laces their fingers together. "Don't worry, Sweet Thang. We've got this." He kisses the back of her hand.

Later, outside the restaurant…

Chapter 8 Part 2

Bailey walks into the restaurant to scope it out and comes back with her report. "Greg is waiting at the table, his back to us. Come on." We quickly sneak into the lobby and hide off to the side where the diners can't see us. London pecks Cody on the lips before following the hostess to her table.

"Bailey and Moira, you're up. Dyl will be over in a few minutes." Zack says, his arm around Maddie's waist. "Make it look convincing." Bailey, dresses as one of the servers, leads Maddie-Moira to Greg's table and asks to take their drink orders. Greg stands while Maddie-Moira takes her seat and orders a bottle of wine.

"I knew you would come to your senses." Greg says, sliding his hand towards Maddie-Moira's. "I am so much better than that cretin you…"

"Maddie!" Zack-Cole runs up to the table and grabs Maddie-Moira's hand, pulling her up into his arms. "I need to talk to you, please." He leads her off to a hidden alcove.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Greg says furiously but they are already gone. He looks down at the table and starts to stand up when Maddie-Elizabeth walks up to the table. "What was that all about?"

"What was what all about?" Maddie-Elizabeth asks him in confusion. "Are you okay?"

"You know what, never mind." Greg shakes himself and smiles silkily at Maddie-Elizabeth. "Where were we?" He slides his hand back over to hers. She came back so she must want him, right?

"I think we were going to discuss what to order." Maddie-Elizabeth answers, ignoring his hand and picking up the menu.

"You don't need that." Greg grabs the menu from her and tosses it to the other side of the table. "I'll order for both of us." He scoots his chair closer and leans towards her but is interrupted again.

"Maddie, where have you been?" Zack-Cole walks up to the table. He pulls out Maddie-Elizabeth's chairs and picks her up into his arms, bridal style. "We still need to finish our conversation." Zack-Cole buries his face in her neck and carries over to the same alcove.

"Now, wait just a minute here." Greg stands up to follow them but is blocked by Bailey, who has brought their wine. She displays the label for him to approve.

"Sir, is this to your liking?" Bailey asks.

"Yes, yes, just leave the bottle." Greg answers impatiently, glancing at the bottle.

"Oh goody, the wine is here." Maddie-Shannon sits down in the vacant chair. "Are you going to open that?" She looks up at Greg, expectantly.

"What just happened?" Greg looks down at her, confused. "Where'd that blonde oaf go?"

"Blonde oaf?" Maddie-Shannon looks at him in concern. "Whatever. Are we having wine or are you going to just stand there with your mouth open?"

"Um, wine. Of course." Greg regains his composure with some difficulty, but manages to open the bottle and smile at Maddie-Shannon. "Wine for the lady?" He asks. At her nod, he pours a glass for each of them and sits down. "I think a toast is in order. To your good sense and good taste in choosing me…" Once more he is interrupted.

"Madeleine Fitzpatrick!" Zack-Cody storms up to their table and yanks her up to her feet. "We are not done, yet." He quickly throws her over his shoulder, much to the astonishment of Greg, and hauls her off to the alcove where the others are waiting.

Stunned, Greg sits for a moment. "What a barbarian!" He jumps up to follow but collides with their waitress and they both fall on the floor. "Watch where you're going, you clumsy wench! I'll have you fired for this!"

"So sorry." Bailey mumbles, picking herself up off the floor.

"What is going on here?" Maddie asks with a raise eyebrow.

"Nothing." Greg says immediately, straightening his jacket. "Is everything okay?" He eyes her suspiciously. "He's not going to come back again is he?"

"Is who not going to come back again?" Maddie asks as they take their seats. "Ooh, wine!" She take a sip of the heady beverage. "Delicious."

"O-o-of course!" Greg eyes her and then searches around the room. "Only the best for me."

"Are you looking for someone?" Maddie asks with a pleasant smile. "You are looking a bit jumpy."

"No!" Greg shouts. "Let's just order. Waitress!"

Bailey walks over with a pad and pen ready. "Are you ready to order, sir?"

"Yes. I'll have the filet mignon, medium rare and she'll have the salmon special." Greg smiles at Maddie, condescendingly. "That will be all." He dismisses Bailey with a slight wave.

The small orchestra at the back of the room begin to play a lovely slow song, flooding the room with soft music. Greg leans over to Maddie to say something in her ear when she is suddenly pulled up from her seat. Looking up, he sees her locked in a heated embrace with Zack. Both of them lost in the kiss, they barely hear Greg when he yells. "NO! This is not happening again!"

Zack pulls away from Maddie, a warm fire burning in his eyes. "I love you, Maddie." He says simply. "Dance with me?"

"Oh Zack." Maddie says with a sigh as he leads her down to the dance floor. Zack wraps her in his arms and they sway gently to the music. The other 'Zack' and 'Maddie' couples join them.

"What the hell is going on?" Greg yells as he steps to the edge of the dance floor, causing all four couples to look over at him. "No! No! No! How many of you are there? God, I don't even want to know!" He runs out of the restaurant, muttering to himself about clones and transferring to someplace sane.

"That went quite well, I think." London says, walking over to the dance floor. "Who's ready to eat?"

Cody grins at his girlfriend and gives her a hug. "I'm starving."

London, holding Cody's hand, leads everyone to the long table she had the wait staff set up for them. It was already loaded down with several of the best dishes the restaurant has to offer and set so they can eat family style. Everyone takes a seat and loads their plates up with the delicious food. Zack stands up at the end of the table and raises his glass of soda.

"Thank you for coming and helping me to rescue Maddie." Zack grins as Maddie, sitting to his right, smacks him on the stomach. "We make one hell of a family." The others raise their glasses with smiles on their faces. "To family." Zack sits back down, taking a sip of his drink.

"So what exactly has Maddie been saying about me?" Zack asks Maddie's sisters, a devilish gleam in his eyes.

"Zack." Maddie says, claiming his attention. She grabs his head and pulls his face over to hers with a smile. "Shut up." With that, she kisses him soundly.
