Warnings: There may be some slight humor that is mature, but nothing that should be worse than the humor from the show.

Chapter 1 - Cody's Awakening

Cody opened his eyes and saw the walls were pitch black. A beautiful mural of a girl in a yellow and blue dress, taking a bite of a bright red apple covered the floor. Confused, he looked around for an exit. To his disappointment he found there was no way of leaving the room.

"Where the heck am I?" he said, scratching his head.

"There is so much to do, but so little time..." a strange voice spoke, "take your time, don't be afraid. It has not opened yet."

Cody was puzzled, "This is so strange, what hasn't opened yet? And what happened to Tyler muttering about Lindsay and pigskin?"

The strange voice didn't reply, instead three gray pedestals rose from the ground. Three weapons appeared above each stone table: A red shield, a blue staff, and a sword with a yellow handle; each floating above a pedestal.

"Step forward."

In awe he cautiously walked to the center of the three pedestals. Looking from one to another, the voice spoke to him, "Choose a weapon."

"It's like I've stepped into Wizards of Ozaria Temple...neat!" He strutted over to the shield and picked it up.

"The power of the Guardian. Kindness to aid friends. A shield to repel all." The voice informed as he held the weapon, "Is this the power you seek?"

Biting his lip, he thought for a moment, "It doesn't look like it could withstand a powerful attack, so I'll pass." He set the red shield back down and walked over to the blue staff.

Tapping the wand to his hand, the voice spoke, "The power of the Mystic. Inner strength. A staff of wonder and ruin, is this the power you seek?"

He looked over to the last choice, "Magic is my usual choice when playing video games, but I think I'll go check that baby out." He set the wand back down and rushed to the sword. Taking it in hand, the voice spoke once more.

"The power of the Warrior. Invincible courage. A sword of terrible destruction, is this the power you seek?"

"Oh yeah baby!" He pretended to slash at invisible foes. His fun was cut short, as the sword vanished in a bright light. "Oh come on!" he stomped his foot.

"Now, what power will you give up?" the voice spoke again.

"I've never seen a game that makes you give up one of the starting weapons." He wined, "I'd hate to see the review Z-Play would give this game." With a sigh, we walked over to the shield, "Defensive magic would be a better shield. I'll give this up."

"You've chosen the power of the Warrior, you've given up the power of the Guardian, is this the form you seek?" Cody nodded in approval. The red shield vanished like the sword.

Once the shield vanished, the pedestals, including the one Cody was standing on, started to sink into the floor "Oh, crap!" he shouted, jumping onto the floor. The ground began to crumble under neath him and he fell into darkness.

Cody found himself back at the resort and saw only Courtney, Duncan, and Bridgette were there. "Wonder where everyone else is?" he thought. He walked over to Duncan who was flicking his lighter open.

"Hey, Duncan did Owen fart and scare everyone away?" he chuckled.

"What do you want out of life?"

"Not something Duncan would ask." He thought. "Well...I guess I'd like to see places I've never been before, but what's that got to-"

"New places? Humph, its your life." The punk replied flicking his lighter closed.

"O..k.. see ya later." He chuckled walking off. "Man what's up with him?" he thought as he walked over to the punk's girlfriend.

"Courtney, do you know what's going on here?"

"What's most important to you?" The girl asked.

"Her too? Well, it's not as surprising, considering it's Courtney." he shouted in his mind, "well to answer that, I think my friends are most important to me."

"Are friends really that much of an importance?"Courtney replied.

"To me they are, but I think I'm going to go talk to Bridgette. So check ya later." He left the CIT and walked over to the surfer girl. "Bridgette, you're sane, do you have any idea what's going on?"

"What are you most of afraid of?" She asked, hugging her knees.

"Even Bridgette's snapped," he groaned in his mind, "Well, I guess being a loner."

"Being alone really scares you, doesn't it?" She asked.

Before he replied, a voice called out to him.

"Cody, Cody!"

Cody's vision of Bridgette blurred as he slowly opened his eyes to see Tyler standing over him. "Dude, you alright?" he asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine.." he replied, looking around the room. "Was that a dream?"

LeShawna, Trent, and Gwen were sitting on the edge of the pool, dangling their feet in the warm water. They were watching Tyler and DJ throw a frisbee back and forth across the pool to each other.

Eva was busy doing some arm curls while she watched the two boys toss the Frisbee. Tyler ran into a pole when he tried to catch the disk. With a roll of her eyes, she yelled, "can't you do anything right?" The brunette jock shrugged her off as he caught the disk. Tossing it back, he stuck his tongue out at the fitness buff. His victory was interrupted by the disk hitting him in the head.

Heather and Lindsay were sitting in the lawn chairs, reading magazines, while Beth, Owen and Izzy were busy eating on the medley of food spread on the buffet table.

Noah was trying to read his book, but the constant blabbing of Katie and Sadie about Justin was breaking his concentration.

Courtney was flipping angrily through a magazine, annoyed by the music coming from Duncan's mp3. player. Duncan was lying next to her listening to his music, ignoring Courtney when she'd yell at him.

Ezekiel and Harold were talking about video games while eating some pizza they had snagged from the food table before Owen managed to get a hold of it.

Bridgette and Geoff were sitting next to the buffet table, making out as usual. As Bridgette and Geoff broke away, the surfer girl noticed Cody, sitting all by himself in the hot tub, sulking into the water.

"What's the matter with Cody?" She asked, "He looks depressed. He's usually hit on Gwen six or seven times by now."

"Beats me, Bridge, the little guy seems like he missed out on the sickest party of all time."

"He's been like this all day," stated Tyler as he threw the frisbee to DJ.

"Did something happen to him?" Bridgette asked.

"He had a bad dream last night and it's really gotten to him." Tyler ran backwards to catch the frisbee as it was thrown to him but he slipped and fell into the pool.

"You should go talk to him, Bridge," Geoff stated.

She looked to her boyfriend, "Me?"

"Yeah, you totally know how to lift someone's spirits, heck you cheer me up just by walking into the room!"

The surfer girl giggled, "Well if you really think so."

Cody had his arms crossed on the side of the hot tub looking off towards the pool. He didn't see Bridgette walk over to him but he wasn't startled when she approached him.

"Hey, Cody what's up?" she asked, standing next to him.

With a sigh, he replied, "Oh, nothing." This sad demeanor was rare for Cody, so Bridgette couldn't help but wonder what was affecting him.

"I'm a pretty good judge of character, and I can tell when someone is troubled," she placed a kind hand on his shoulder.

He looked to the side and sighed, "It's stupid really."

A smile crept upon her face, "I'd say it's not, now tell me what's wrong." She plopped down into the water beside him, and focused her attention on him. Her kind and warm smile made him feel a bit at ease.

"Well," he started as she shifted his head to face her, "I've just been having these weird thoughts..."

Laying her arm on the side of the hot tub, the girl replied, "Like what?"

Cody sighed and slumped into the bubbling water, "Like, is any of this for real...or not?" Bridgette was speechless; she had no idea how to respond to that. "See I told you it was stupid," he gave a sigh and turned around to lay his arms on the edge of the jacuzzi.

Snapping out of her thoughts, she answered, "Oh, no, it's not stupid at all."

He slowly looked over to her, "R-really?"

"Of course!" the surfer girl smiled. "How long have you been having these thoughts?"

"I had this dream last night I can't seem to get them out of my head, and I've been thinking about it all this morning." Cody answered.

"Well, Cody I'm not exactly sure why you're having these thoughts, but I do know that you'll work them out soon." Her smiling face made the brunette flush. "Aww, come here." she pulled him into a warm hug.

"Thanks for talking with me Bridgette," their embrace tightened as she patted his back, "I really needed it."

"Hey, it was no problem at all." She replied as they released from the hug, "but I am curious to know, what your dream was about."

"I honestly don't know..." He replied, "It made no sense whatsoever."

"What didn't make any sense?" Asked Izzy who popped up from behind the two teens.

"Oh, hi, Izzy," Cody stammered, "I was just about to tell Bridgette about this dream I had."

"Ooooh! I totally have to hear it, I don't mean to brag but when it comes to having dreams that never make sense, I'm totally the one to come to." the red head jumped into the water.

"Well, it was really weird; I was in this room with a sword, shield, and staff. Then this voice told me to pick one and give up another, so I did."

"Oh, oh, oh!" Izzy chattered, "Which did you pick?"

"I picked the sword."

"Nice one! Izzy's impressed." the red head gave the boy a high five, which he warmly returned, "I would have went with the sword too, much more deadly than a crappy staff or shield. Although, the sword is inferior to the bow."

"A bow?" scoffed the C.I.T sitting at the edge of the swimming pool, "Just what makes the bow and arrow superior to the sword? Once you run out of arrows, you're left with no defensive means."

'"Hello, have you ever tried to snipe someone with a sword?" Izzy answered, "I tried once on my neighbor, who was stealing our garbage cans, but I totally missed and it went right through my mom's SUV." Bridgette and Courtney both scooted over away from Izzy and focused back onto Cody.

"Anyway, after I gave up one of the weapons, I fell into this darkness."

Heather, who was in hearing distance, began to listen to Cody's story. "After that I found myself back at the resort. You, Courtney, and Duncan were the only ones there and when I'd speak to one of you, you'd each ask me a way out of left field question. Next thing I knew, I awoke to Tyler asking me if I was alright."

"That is one bizarre dream, Cody," Courtney stated.

"Sounds like Chris' challenges finally made one of us snap." Heather yelled over to them.

Owen started to choke on a hot dog and Izzy rushed over to him to give him the Heimlich maneuver and he ended up spitting out a chunk of hot dog onto Heather's head. The raven hair screamed and began to run around the pool, waving her arms around frantically.

"I oddly agree with her," Courtney noted, laughing along with everyone else.

"Well, I haven't snapped, I'm still as sane as I was," Cody laughed, "the dream, it just, felt...so real."
