Chapter 5:

"Opps! I guess we have to turn back, dead end!" London squealed as the teens entered the stairwell. She started to turn back until Maya and Bailey pulled her back, then they explained for the hundredth time that stairs don't move for you like escalators. She pouted about it but eventually stomped pass everyone and ascend the stairs.

The other just rolled their eyes while cracking a small smile as they all followed London's lead. "So Zack...Where exactly are you taking us?" Maya asked curiously hoping it wouldn't get them into to much trouble.

"You'll just have to wait and see." Zack teased her.

"Oh really?" She raised and eyebrow before racing up the staircase, almost knocking over London in the process till she was up to the very top. She swung open the door and was greeted by the cooling ocean breeze, Ocean surrounded her on all sides. She stepped out of the dark dreary stairwell and into the mid-day sunlight in awe. The others followed closely behind and their reactions were just the same. Well almost just the same...

"Been there done that..." Bailey rolled her eyes and walked past Maya. She didn't mean to be rude, she just wanted people to know she didn't care anymore...Or at least make them think that.

"What's up with her?" Zack asked in confusion to his brother as Maya and London wandered off still enchanted by the view from the top of the S.S. Tipton.

Cody exhaled and started to think about why Bailey walked off so suddenly.

"Cody, Cody!" Bailey screamed and giggled as Cody guided her with a blindfold on. "Where are you taking me, Seriously just tell me!"

Cody smiled at his girlfriend who desperately wanted to know what he had planned for their 6 month anniversary. "But then it wouldn't be a surprise, Now would it?"

"Cody Martin if you dump goop in my hair, or push me off the edge of the boat then I'm going to kill you." She threatened knowing he would never do that though.

"Oh I guess you've forgotten who your boyfriend is, I'm not Zack, so I guess I'll just go." He removed his hands off Bailey's arms and started walking away.

Bailey reached out, but couldn't feel anything. "Cody wait! Don't go!" She called out as she ripped off her blindfold only to be met with an overwhelming view of the ocean and the sky. She was wonderstruck by the scenery almost so much that she barely realized that a few yards ahead of her was Cody in his tux standing in front of a table scattered with roses, two plates of gourmet food filling the plates that were carefully places on the table. Bailey raised a hand to cover her mouth attempting to hide her shocked reaction, but what she really should of been doing was wiping away the tears that were flooding out of her beautiful eyes.

Cody smiled knowing that his hours of planning and setting this all up didn't go to waste. He slowly walked up to Bailey and stood in front of her, she was still drowning in tears of joy until Cody wiped them away then removed her hand covering her mouth and took her other in his. "Bailey?" Cody asked, She nodded. "Why are you crying?"

"Because now I know you love me just as much as I love you." She choked out.

Cody sighed "Bailey, I've always loved you. From the very first moment, it was always you, and it always will be." Bailey smiled and leaned into Cody, kissing him with everything that she was. It was the best anniversary ever...

"Yea so that's why she is mad probably..." Cody sighed in sadness knowing that those memories would never become reality again...

"Oh, Your smart! Maybe I should bring Maya up here for a date!" Zack said completely oblivious to the way Cody felt, just wanting to steel his idea.

"You just realized that? Wow I feel sorry for Maya, You know if one day she forgives you..." Cody snorted as he started walking towards the girls gathered at the edge of the boat.

"Why is she even mad at me?" Zack said following his brother hastily.

"Sometimes girls just get mad, And you need to give them space." Cody said simply as they came up behind the girls looking at the sky.

"But that takes to long, Girls can never make up their minds!" Maya, Bailey, and London turned around to face the boys with their eyebrows raised.

"You probably shouldn't of said that." Cody said patting his brother on the back.

"Please don't tackle me again!" Zack said shielding his face, But then the girls just started laughing. Zack and Cody did not expect that.

"Zack..." Maya said calmly as she walked to his side. "Your so hilarious, Why would you we tackle you?" She said with a fake laugh.

"Because you did yesterday!" Zack yelled in a confused tone.

"Yea, But that doesn't mean we will today." All the girls were smiling at him, He exhaled in relief.

"No...WE'RE JUST GOING TO PUSH YOU OFF THE EDGE OF THE BOAT!" Maya screamed at Zack and started chasing him around the platform.

London and Bailey still standing there, Cody looked back at them. "Bailey, What about him?" London said with a devious smile pointing at Cody.

"What about him?" Cody said repeating London's words with a cracking voice.

"I think Maya was onto something." Bailey said mischievously and the two girls started to inch towards Cody.

"What did I do? I stood up for you guys! What are you doing?" Cody started backing up with fear clearly showing in his eyes.

"Nothing and CHASING YOU!" Both the girls screamed out and started chasing after Cody who was running while screaming like a girl.

"Maya! You don't want to push me off the boat!" Zack screamed still running around the platform.

"Oh you don't even know!" Maya yelled still chasing him.

"AHH!" London's heel broke and she screamed in terror as she feel like a domino to the floor, Bailey didn't notice.

"ZACK MARTIN I'M GOING TO GET YOU!" Maya screamed as she was inches away from Zack.

"CODY MARTIN I'M GOING TO GET YOU!" Bailey screamed as she was inches away from Cody.

And at the same moment Bailey and Maya tackled Cody and Zack to the floor, Laughing in hysterics.

"Maya" Zack was trying to talk in between laughs. "Please don't kill me." He pleaded.

Maya laughed as she pulled him up "Wouldn't dream of it." She said kissing him on the lips.

Meanwhile... "Are you going to get off me now?" Cody struggled to say as Bailey sat on his back casually.

Bailey started to laugh like he just asked a question as obviously as what color the sky was, "No"

Cody whined "Why?"

"I'll get off of you if we build the heat laser." Bailey bargained.

"Well in that case..." Cody flipped Bailey off of him and stood up as quick as he could.

Bailey stood up with her lips in a pout, and her arms crossed. "Now that wasn't very nice!"

London walked over to Cody and Bailey with her shoes in her hands. "Wow Cody! Your strong, Bailey weighs A TON. Have you been working out?" London said as she felt his arm, He yanked it away.

Bailey's mouth dropped open "I don't weigh that much!"

"Well I bet it was a lot for Cody, Who no matter how much he works out will still look like a twig." London pranced off leaving Cody and Bailey offended.

Cody said finally as they watched her skip over to Maya and Zack. "No your wrong, That right there wasn't very nice."
