Chapter 1 -- The Beginning

Author's Note: This my first fanfic so R&R. I also appreciate constructive critism.

Also, this is sort of based off of Freaky Friday (the newer version. I'm not quite sure if the original has the same concept.)

Last, I redid this chapter a bit so its a little different.

Disclaimer: I do not own any characters from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. I wish I did though, hehe. I own the waitress and the fortune thingy though.

"ZACK! Give me it back!" Cody yelled at his brother while chasing after him. Zackary Martin, mischevious twin, had decided he would steal Cody's "blankie" and use it for blackmail. He turned his head towards him and taunted,"Fat chance, little brother!" However, he did not expect his mother to walk in at that moment and stopped short. From behind, Cody caught up to him, jumped on his back and got him in a chokehold, yelling in his ear.

"That's enough, you two!" Carey said, having quite enough of her sons' argueing,"Zack, give Cody his blanket back and Cody get off of your brother and apologize to each another OR you won't see the outside of this suite for the next 2 months." Knowing that she was serious, they obliged.

"When will you two stop bickering and get along? You're brothers. You're stuck with each other forever," Carey lectured, in the bleak hope that the boys will understand and finally get along.

"Brothers are supposed to fight. It's in our hereditary genes," Cody explained.

"Uh, I'm wearing Levi's, dude," the older, but less bright twin said, looking confused. The other two looked at him in disbelief.

"How did you manage to make it past kindergarten, Zack?" Cody asked, honestly bewildered.

"Copying your homework, of course," Zack said proudly, not catching the sarcasm. Shaking her head, Carey said," Anyway... Were going to get some Italian food. So go get changed into something presentable."

A half an hour later...

"Can I help you?" a waitress with a kind face said.

"Why yes. I would like a salad and a water. And, for the boys, two orders of pasta and two Cokes," Carey replied to her.

"Ok. I be back with your food soon," she replied.

"Well, this is nice, isn't it guys?" Carey said to her sons, while waiting for their food.

"Sure," Zack muttered.

"Sure," Cody said, simultaneously, trying to annoy him.

"Are you copying me?"

"Are you copying me?"

"Stop it, Cody!"

"Stop it, Cody!"

"I'm an idiot!"

"You're an idiot!"

"Boys!" Carey said, with clenched teeth.

"Here is your food," the kind faced waitress said, interjecting in the current argument.

"Thank you very much. It looks delicious," Carey said, trying and failing to hide her embarassment.

After the meal, the mother was thoroughly annoyed and ready to leave. When they left the store, there was a homeless man sitting out front, and as the boys walked by, he handed them two pieces of paper. Carey rushed them away and told them not to go near strangers. They slowed down a little bit and read the papers,"

"The problems are unseen by one another,

so a miled walked in the shoes of each other,

is what is needed.

And when that is completed,

doing a selfless act,

is what will give you yourself back."

Neither of them understood it or cared.As they started to walk, all of sudden two strikes of lighting appeared hitting them. When they were still alive and no one around them seemed to noticea thing, they did not say a word because it sounded crazy. They just put the papers in their pockets and kept walking home. When they arrived, Carey sent the boys to their room, where they immediately went to sleep, oblivious to the problems in store.

Ohhh, the suspense P. Obviously, we all know what is going to happen because it's not exactly subtle. So, what did you guys think of the beginning? It's kind of boring but there's not much really to write. I know my fortune was corny but I'm a terrible poet. Any suggestions for upcoming chapters are appreciated. Also, I know it was short and I will try and make the other chapters longer. Reviews please

I have the second chapter just about complete and I'll post it if I get reviews.
