10K on Deck
|classroom – about two weeks later|
"London can you tell me what this is?" Mrs. Tutweiller asks tracing something on the map behind her.
"A bad manicure?" London answers.
"No, has anyone heard of the international dateline?" Mrs. Tutweiller asks the class.
"Something you say to a French babe, so she'll go out with you?" Woody asks.
"No, it's an imaginary line created in 1884 to the east of which the date is a day earlier than it is to the west." Bailey answers.
"So, when you cross the dateline you have to turn your clocks back 24 hours, a whole day." Cody adds.
"Correct, which is what we're going to do tonight." Mrs. Tutweiller says.
"That works for me, because if tomorrow is gonna be today again then today is actually yesterday which means that yesterday's homework isn't due today. It's rally due tomorrow." Zack exclaims cheerfully.
"In other words, you didn't do your homework?" Mrs. Tutweiller asks knowingly.
"Yet." Zack replies with a smile on his face.
|later – 10Ks room|
10K is on his phone calling his father because he needs advice regarding his situation with Bailey, ever since they told each other they might be interested in dating each other they've avoided the subject and kept some distance from each other.
"Yeah dad, like I said London is alright, there only was one incident on the first day of the cruise but we handled it." 10K informs his father.
"That's good son, I'm sure Mr. Tipton will be delighted to hear that. Why are you calling then if everything is OK?" His father replies.
"I need some advice about girls. I've become very close to a fellow student and told her I'd be interested in dating her but we've avoided the topic since then and now there is this dance coming up, so I thought maybe you have some tips on what to do?" 10K says.
"Well son, first of all I'm glad you found someone you're interested in. Secondly, I'd suggest you just ask her to dance during your festivities and make a move, kiss her or ask her for an answer. It doesn't matter as long as you show her what you feel." His father advises.
"Alright, thanks dad I'll see what I can do." 10K replies and hangs up.
|at the same time – London's room|
"So ever since then we avoided the subject and kept our distance, what do I do?" Bailey asks, finishing filling in London on her situation with 10K.
"what is the problem with you two? You like each other so date." London tells her.
"I don't know, it's just that I've never been friends before with the guys I was dating much less roommates." Bailey replies.
"Still I say go for it, 10K is good lucking and he obviously has a thing for you." London tries to encourage her.
"Yeah, maybe you're right and I'm overthinking things. Hey, maybe I'll get an opportunity to talk to him at the dance later." Bailey says.
While this is going on Cody Martin is planning with his brother to ask Bailey out himself during the dance that evening.
|international dateline dance|
Because there is a storm outside the dance got moved inside. Zack is the DJ, there is some food prepared on a few tables, there are some tables available to sit at and there are a few decorations scattered around the room.
"What are you doing?" London asks Bailey, seeing her in her yellow dress do a dance with some girls, where she mainly moves her hands up and down in alternation.
"Dancing." Bailey replies continuing to move to the music.
"It looks like you're milking a cow." London tells her.
"That's the name of the dance." Bailey replies as though it's obvious.
"Oh, well do you know this one?" London asks doing practically the same thing sideways.
"Oh yeah the sheep sheer." Bailey says and copies London's moves.
"No silly, it's the credit card swipe." London tells her continuing her dance with more vigor.
Soon after Bailey goes over to the buffet and eats some shrimps, while both 10K and Cody have arrived at the dance. 10K is dressed in his usual black jeans along with a white t-shirt under a black jacket while Cody is dressed almost the same only with the shirt and jacket color being swapped.
Spotting Bailey at the shrimps Cody goes over to his twin, a cd in hand and bribes him to play the song he picked out for himself and bailey next.
Meanwhile 10K got pulled aside by Woody who is at the moment trying to explain a joke to him but screws up continually, while 10K is actually more focused on watching Bailey than listening to Woody's joke.
Bailey sees him looking at her and is currently trying to gather her nerves to go over to 10K and talk to him when Cody asks her for a dance as one of her favorite songs starts to play.
"Oh, I love this song." Bailey says.
"I picked it for you. Care to dance?" Cody asks.
"Uhm, it's kinda slow isn't it? Can't exactly do the milk-it to it." Bailey asks uncertain.
"Yeah, but it's better for talking." Cody tells her as they start to sway from side to side.
"That's true, so did you finish the prove on that geometry problem?" Bailey asks.
"Yeah but tonight I thought we could talk about other things, like us. You know Bailey I really like you a lot." Cody tells her.
"Me too, we really have become great friends." Bailey agrees.
"Yeah, but I want us to be more than friends, what do you think about that?" Cody tells her.
"Oh, Cody that is really sweet but I actually like somebody already." Bailey tells him gently, not wanting to hurt his feelings.
"It's Thomas, right?" Cody asks having suspected something.
"Yes." Bailey confirms but then starts to feel nauseous and leaves the dance in a hurry saying "I think I ate some bad shrimp.", as fast as she can run on heels.
10K sees her rush out of the hall and goes after her, telling Woody "Sounds good man, why don't you try it on Allison?"
After Bailey ran out 10K followed her to the ladies' room on the sky deck, which was the closest one to their dance and knocks on the door ignoring the cold wind and his clothes getting soaked.
"Bailey are you OK?" 10K shouts because of the storm.
"I'll be fine, I just ate some bad shrimp." Bailey replies from within the ladies' room.
"OK, I'm coming in." 10K tells her and enters the ladies' room, seeing Bailey leaning over a sink.
"What are you doing here, why didn't you stay at the party?" Bailey asks seeing him enter.
"The only reason I went there in the first place was to see if I could ask you for a dance." 10k replies, walking over to her.
"I don't think I'll be able to do much dancing for a while." Bailey says and throws up again.
"Come on, let me take you to our suite." 10K suggests to which Bailey gladly agrees and he holds her waist, keeping her steady as they walk to their suite.
"Thanks, I think I can handle it from here." Bailey says while she enters their bathroom.
"OK, if you need anything I'll be out here. Just shout." 10K replies and starts to take off his soaked clothes, throwing on a black shirt and a pair of jogging pants.
A little over an hour later Bailey re-emerges from the bathroom still looking rather pale and sweaty.
"I'm sorry, you must think I'm disgusting." Bailey says downcast as she makes her way over to her mattress.
"Not at all, it could have been anyone. Do you need anything? Tea, water?" 10K replies.
"No thanks, I think I'll be OK if I lay down for a while." Bailey tells him, lying down on the bed while 10K helps her get under the covers.
"OK, if you change your mind just say so." 10K tells her, laying down on his mattress, a book in hand.
"Thomas?" Bailey asks while her back is turned to him.
"Yeah?" 10K asks ready to help.
"Thank you, and I know it's probably the wrong time now, but I really have to get this off my chest. I really like you and even with the possibility, that our friendship might suffer I want to date you." Bailey confesses.
"That's great. I was actually planning on asking you out again during a dance myself today." 10K tells her happily and goes over to the other side of the bed, taking her hand giving the back of it a kiss.
"Really, I had thought I scared you away with me talking about what it might do to our friendship." Bailey says relieved.
"Bailey our friendship means a lot to me, but I really can't help but like you more than that." 10K tells her honestly.
"Me too." Bailey replies with a small grin, despite her current situation.
After a few seconds of silence during which 10K is caressing her face slowly and carefully Bailey asks, "So what now?" uncertain on how they should act now.
"Now nothing, first we'll get you back to health and then we'll see how to get rid of the awkwardness and enjoy this but for now, try to get some sleep." 10K tells her, giving her a peck on her forehead before he moves back over to his bed and lies down, looking at the resting form of his new girlfriend.
