A/N: Booyah! I updated! : )
You guys get some Cody this time around along with some Izzy. Lots of blahblahblah. Enjoy! : )
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm on a secret mission!"
Cody never thought he'd bump into any other ex-campers and he was definitely not expecting Izzy of all people. She didn't say much to why she was there except about a "secret mission". He asked her if she had a place to stay and one thing led to another and soon they both checked into his suite.
Looks like you won't be lonely in your hotel room, after all.
He never imagined having a girl in his hotel room. Something like that didn't happen except in movies or books or something.
Well, I'm sure it happens to people but that usually doesn't include me.
"Nice room here C-Unit," Izzy commented while surveying the room.
He chuckled at her nickname for him. "Thanks, Izzy."
She smiled at him. "I changed my name to Kaleidoscope but since you're giving me somewhere to stay I guess I'll let you call me Izzy. You're the only exception 'kay?"
"Kaleidoscope, huh?"
She nodded. "Or E-Scope for short."
"Thanks for making me exception."
She grinned at him and flopped on the bed. "No problemo C-Unit!" She patted the space next to her and winked at him. "Plenty of room on the bed."
Cody felt his face heat up somewhat.
Wow, Izzy being flirty?
Playing along, Cody winked and laid himself next to her. "Hehe, you're right there is plenty of room."
"But of course!" She turned on her side to face him. "So how is Cody feeling?"
Cody turned on his side to face her too. "Well, Cody is doing fine."
She raised an eyebrow then looked into his eyes, which made him feel very unnerved.
"Izzy?"
"Is Cody telling the truth?"
"Of course."
Izzy shook her head and turned her back to him.
"Izzy?"
She didn't say anything.
He sighed and laid down on his back.
"Well, I'm fine for the most part anyways."
Izzy switched to lying on her side.
"The most part, eh?"
Cody nodded slowly.
"What's wrong with the other part?"
He thought it over and decided it wouldn't hurt to tell Izzy. He felt like talking about it. He couldn't hold it in anymore.
"I'm really bummed."
He explained to her how he had planned a party with Gwen's mother and Geoff. He told her why he wasn't there. He told her how much he wished he were there.
"But most of all," he smiled somewhat, "I miss her."
It was quiet for a moment.
He turned his head to look at her and saw her looking thoughtful.
"So?"
She looked at him again.
"Why didn't you just go?"
He blinked and, before he could control his self, laughed out loud.
Izzy stared at him.
"Did I say something funny?"
Cody wiped a tear from his eye. "No, just, laughing at myself."
Izzy just continued to stare.
"I've been asking myself the same thing."
"Oh."
Then she began to laugh and that made him start laughing again.
"You are a very silly dude," Izzy smiled at him. "You should've been all, 'SCREW SCHOOL I'M OFF TO GET SOME GOTH LUVIN!'"
Cody raised an eyebrow but held a grin. "Oh, really?"
"Yes, really!"
He chuckled. "You forget one thing…I wouldn't get any 'goth luvin''. I'm just the friend, remember?"
"Pssh! If I were Gwen and you were still you and I found about you making the party happen…I'd be, like, all over you! Seriously."
He shook his head and just laughed. "You're too much Izzy."
Izzy sighed. "Dude, you don't give yourself enough credit."
Cody looked away. "Well, I wouldn't say that…she's with Trent and even if she weren't…she just not into to me."
"And yet you're still into her."
"…Yeah."
Cody was startled when Izzy was suddenly on top of him.
…When? More importantly how?
She looked down at him with a grin.
"E-scope has a plan."
Cody blinked.
"Does it involve me?"
"Yes, most definitely yes."
"Oh."
Cody felt his ears grow warm and he swallowed.
"What is your plan?"
"I plan to set you up with a girl."
He blushed. "I'm not interested Izzy!"
"Come on! Going on like this…it's no fun C-Unit!"
He looked away.
"Look, if it doesn't turn out like I hope you can continue to pine after Gwen!"
He looked back at her.
"Why do you care Izzy?"
Izzy blinked and then smiled.
"I care because you're a nice person. I care because I like you and I want you to be happy."
She got off him and sat on the edge of the bed.
"You don't have to rush into things, y'know."
Cody sat up.
"You can just casually date or whatever and just try it out! Like, oooh, like ice cream!"
Cody chuckled at the comparison making her grin. "And if you don't like the flavor you can just try another or go back to your original."
"Just trust me," she said while patting his knee.
Cody looked at her hand and thought about it.
What's there to really lose, Codemeister?
"Okay, Izzy, but just don't go overboard with it."
"You won't regret it C-Unit!"
Everyone had gathered in the kitchen to sing Gwen "Happy Birthday". Gwen felt her cheeks heat up at all the attention when they started singing. She still couldn't believe how all her friends were gathered together in one room. Along with her family. She felt happy, but she couldn't help but feel a little sad when she thought of how Cody should've been there singing too.
Cody…
"Make a wish, Gwen," her mother whispered to her on her left.
She looked at her cake.
It was blue and shaped like a skull. One single candle was on it with the wax melting already.
What should I wish for?
She smiled a small smile before blowing out the only candle.
"What'd you wish for?" Trent asked.
She looked at him with a smirk.
"If I told you it wouldn't come true, now would it?"
"Well, I hope it comes true then," Leshawna called out.
"Me too."
End Notes: "C-Unit" is a nickname Izzy gives Cody commonly found in WinterRae's Cody/Izzy fics. They are highly recommended if you haven't read them yet.
Also Izzy's quote about "goth luvin" was totally stolen from n5d25d90's review. So yeah.
I wonder what our favorite goth wished for? What's kind of flavor will Cody get to taste? Will they ever get together? Meh...you'll find out eventually. XD
Don't forget to tell me what you think. : )
