Part One

Cody Martin woke bright and early ready to have a great start of his last week of summer break as the morning sun would soon rise after him. Earlier in the summer after he had found out that he was rejected from his dream school, Yale University after graduating as a Co-Valedictorian with his girlfriend, Bailey Pickett, from Seven Seas High. Since Cody wanted to get down to the bottom of this problem, he didn't waste any time finding out why he was rejected. During the first two weeks of his summer break, Cody had to occupy himself from missing his Bailey Bunny too much by getting to the bottom of the issue of him being rejected from Yale. After many hours on the phone, the intelligent Martin twin had found out some disturbing news. Over the phone with an admissions guy from Yale, Cody found out that his transcripts got mixed up. He asked whose transcripts got mixed up with his but he didn't get an answer. All he got was a dead line.

As the two weeks came and passed, Cody met Bailey at the Mathlympics. The two young lovers teamed up and crushed the Albanians such as Bailey had predicted. After a victory kiss Cody was hesitant at first to tell Bailey but he knew he could trust her with such sensitive information. Cody told Bailey about the mixed up transcripts and figured out that it was Mr. Tipton's responsibility for the mixed up transcripts, Bailey was sad yet tried to comfort Cody as best as she could but as Bailey told her city boy positive words of encouragement, she became more and more irritated with Mr. Tipton as she thought about Cody's rejection. He deserved an acceptance letter without a doubt. The brown eyed, light brunette farm girl assured her city boy that he would be at Yale with her one way or another.

After much persuasion, Bailey helped Cody get into Yale with the threat of exposing Mr. Tipton's scams and plots to the St. Marks to Mr. Tipton over the phone. Bailey also included to Wilfred Tipton that she could always ask London what other operations he was planning to do and inform the St. Marks so that he would be ruined as a business man. Highly disgruntled, Mr. Tipton huffed as he said he would fix the mistake that he overlooked for Cody's mixed up transcripts. A few weeks later, Cody got a phone call that he got into Yale University and he was enrolled as a first-time freshmen starting in the fall of 2011. The younger Martin twin was so ecstatic that he called Bailey for the good news. She heard from Cody back on her family farm when she had just finished picking a basket full of peaches. The rest of the summer went along well enough after Cody got accepted and enrolled as a student at Yale University.

With all that had happened to Cody Martin, he saw the world in a better perspective. Recently, he had received a call from his little Hay Bail and was informed that she would be in Boston with him for a week before they would move in into the dorms at their dream school together. Needless to say Cody was very happy to see his Bailey on such a happy day since she would be coming to the Boston Tipton in a few short hours.

As Cody did his typical morning routines, whistling a happy tune to himself while making breakfast, his brother Zack was rolling out of bed, literally. Zack grumbled and mumbled as he was irritated with Cody's happy whistling tune. He dragged his butt out of his and Cody's bedroom and opened the door. The older Martin twin shuffled his bare feet across the floor and lightly whacked his young twin brother in the shoulder. Cody flinched from the pain and glared at his brother.

"What was that for Zack", Cody yelled in a whisper as to not wake up their mom.

"Would keep your happy-go-lucky attitude somewhere else? It sickens me", Zack yelled back in a whisper.

"Are you still sore about Maya", Cody asked.

"NO", Zack lied.

"Are you", Cody persisted.

"Yes", Zack lamely replied.

"I thought you wouldn't be too grumpy about Maya by now", Cody asked.

"Well, I'm not", Zack angrily huffed.

"I'm sorry, Zack but I can't keep myself from being happy knowing that Bailey will be here in a few hours", Cody said.

"Hm", Zack grunted.

"Zack, I think that it's fair that I should be allowed to happy with Bailey. I mean you never stopped yourself from loving Maya when clearly I was still heartbroken when Bailey and I were broken-up after a really stupid misunderstanding", Cody responded.

"Fine. You and Bailey can be happy just try not be all mushy in front of me", Zack said.

"Thanks, buddy. I know you're still going through some rough times but I'm sure things will get better", Cody said.

"How are thing going to get better for me", Zack asked.

"You just need to keep your eyes open and an opportunity will come to you. Maybe you enroll in some classes at a community college or get a job", Cody suggested.

"I'll think about it", Zack said.

"What are you going to do now", Cody asked.

"I'm going back to bed. You may like being up early in the morning but I sure don't. Wake me up when it's time for lunch", Zack responded.

"Ok, sure thing, Zack", Cody replied.

"Thanks, Code Red", Zack said.

Zack turned back on his heels and went straight back to bed and fell asleep. Cody went back to cooking breakfast and muttered under his breath that it wasn't that early in the morning. In fact, it was eight in the morning but the curtains were closed so there was an illusion to give the effect of it being five in the morning. Cody continued to cook breakfast for a little while longer by himself. Soon enough his mom would wake up and join him but until then, Cody was alone.

For ten more minutes, Cody stood awake by himself finishing off cooking turkey bacon and eggs. Carey Martin woke up to the smell of bacon being cooked. As she got up from the couch, Cody was in process of placing the food on the table at setting it with the necessary amount of silverware. Carey saw Cody setting the table and inwardly smiled at her youngest son, Cody. She was so proud of him for all that he has accomplished and was happy for him that he finally got in the college of his dreams with the girl of his dreams. Carey recalled her and Kurt's first meeting with the famed girlfriend of their youngest, Bailey Pickett and she couldn't be more pleased with their first meeting. Bailey made quite an impression not only on Cody and their friends but she also made a great impression on Carey and Kurt. Carey had a good feeling that even though Cody and Bailey had broken up once that deep down in her heart they would get married someday. Even though Carey has only seen Bailey once, she already liked her and hoped that the nice and intelligent farm girl would someday become her daughter-in-law. The prospect of having Bailey as a daughter-in-law excited Carey and causes her to have a grin on her face.

Carey Martin walked over to the set table and looked straight at Cody. The younger twin looked at his mother as he could feel her eyes looking at him. Carey smiled at her younger son as she sat down at the table. Cody followed his mom's actions and sat down opposite from her at the table as well.

"Good morning, mom", Cody greeted.

"Good morning, sweetie", Carey said.

"Mom! Please, that's highly embarrassing", Cody whined.

"What? I can't call you sweetie but Bailey can", Carey challenged.

"Ok, fine. Sorry", Cody mumbled.

"It's ok, Cody", Carey replied.

"Do you want me to serve your breakfast for you, mom", Cody asked.

"No thank you, Cody. I can serve myself by thank you for the offer. You're such a sweet guy and I'm lucky to be your mom", Carey replied.

As Carey Martin piled on some food on her plate, Cody stared off into space thinking about what he was going to do once Bailey got to the Tipton. He was thinking that he should show bailey around the Tipton and introduce her to some of the employees. Once Carey was done taking her share of the food, she reached over the table with her right arm and nudged Cody because to her he seemed to be in a trance. Cody quickly came to his senses after he felt his mom nudge him in the arm. The tidy twin looked over at his mother who had a curious look on her face.

"Cody what were you thinking about", Carey asked.

"I was thinking about Bailey and how I would show her around here", Cody answered.

"Oh that sounds nice. When is she coming?" Carey responded.

"She's going to be here by eleven, so in a few hours she'll be here", Cody replied.

Carey took a few bites of her breakfast while Cody talked to her. She mentioned to Cody that he should start eating some breakfast as well. Cody realized that he hadn't piled on any amount of food on his plate. He quickly scooped up some eggs and few pieces of bacon on his plate. Carey made sure Cody had something in his stomach before he talked again. While Cody chewed his food, Carey was thinking on how Bailey would be getting to Boston on her own when she's from Kettlecorn, Kansas. Carey looked back at her youngest son who had just finished chewing his food.

"Cody?" Carey inquired.

"Yeah, mom", Cody asked in response.

"How is Bailey going to come here by herself", Carey asked with a concerned tone.

"She's not coming by herself. Her mom is coming with her", Cody explained.

"So Mrs. Pickett will be here", Carey quizzically asked.

"Yes, mom", Cody replied.

"I would like to meet Mrs. Pickett", Carey happily responded.

"I'm sure you will", Cody said.

"And Cody", Carey asked again.

"Yeah, mom", Cody questioned in response.

"How come Bailey will be in Boston a week before you two have to move-in into the dorms at Yale", Carey wondered.

"That's because she and I thought that it would be best to be with each other when we would have to move-in so that by the time we get settled in our rooms on campus and we have nothing else to do but wait for the first day of instructions then we would prefer to have each other to do something", Cody systematically explained.

"Oh wow. Well, that makes sense", Carey replied.

"To be honest, mom, I'm really excited to see Bailey again", Cody happily stated.

"I can understand why but Cody don't get too excited when you see her or else you're just going to end up make Bailey just a little bit un comfortable", Carey warned.

"Mom, I don't think that I'm going to make Bailey even so slightly uncomfortable around me. I plan to be with her for a very long time, maybe even for the rest of my life and I don't intend to make her uncomfortable in any way, shape, or form", Cody sternly stated.

"Ok", Carey snickered.

"What's so funny", Cody asked with an affronted tone of voice.

"Nothing, it's just that I think it's adorable that even though you're so very young, you seem to know that you possibly want to spend the rest of your life with Bailey. I have a good feeling that you will but I find it slightly humorous how you're so sure and set of Bailey being your soul-mate", Carey said.

"I guess you're right", Cody bashfully replied as he hid his blush behind his napkin.

Carey smiled at Cody as she watched him across the table attempting to hide his blush from the mention of Bailey being his soul-mate behind a napkin. Carey giggled a little bit more before finishing eating her breakfast. Cody soon got over his embarrassment and finished eating his breakfast as well. Once the two intelligent Martin family members finished their breakfast, Carey thanked Cody for the breakfast and started to clean the dishes. Cody offered to help Carey but she politely declined his offer and told him to enjoy the day before he would have to prepare for Bailey and Mrs. Pickett's arrival at the hotel. Cody thanked his mom for the permission to take it easy for the rest of the morning before he would have to go down to the lobby to greet Bailey and Eunice Pickett. Cody went ahead and made the couch, sat down on it and turned the television on and watched the discovery channel.

For the last hour and a half, Cody had watched plenty of discovery channel shows he decided to change it up a bit and switched to the history channel. He was so enthralled with the documentary 'episodes' as he was very into the current documentary that was being used which was the Battle at Gettysburg. The younger dirty blonde haired twin of Viking decent watched the history channel for another hour. He checked his watch and noticed that he had thirty minutes to greet his love of his life and her mother who had graced the world with his girlfriend's birth. Sure Cody might been thinking of Bailey in high regards but he wasn't bothered by the thought since he truly was in love with his girlfriend, Bailey. Cody went into the bathroom and comber his hair to straighten out smaller strands of blonde hair to look presentable for Bailey and Eunice. Before Cody left the bathroom, he used his aqua pick to quickly clean out any unwanted pieces of turkey bacon that might have been stuck in between his sensitive gums and white teeth.

Once Cody left the bathroom, he checked his watch again and saw that he used up ten minutes out of thirty minutes that he had and decided to go down to the lobby at the moment in time. Cody announced to his mom, Carey, that he would go meet Bailey and Eunice. Carey stopped Cody before he left.

"Cody, are you bring Bailey and Mrs. Pickett up here or should I come with you. I don't want to miss a chance meeting your little girlfriend's mom", Carey asked.

"Mom, please don't use embarrassing names when referring to Bailey. I don't know how you can keep up with embarrassing me most of the time", Cody whined.

"Well, I'm sorry, Cody, but soon I won't be able to tease you that much and I want to do as much as possible", Carey rationalized.

"You have Zack", Cody countered.

"You two may be twins but it wouldn't be the same without you here", Carey said.

Cody sighed and then looked at his mom. He patted her on the left shoulder and smiled at her. He removed his hand from her shoulder.

"Okay mom you can embarrass me but please try to keep it to a minimal", Cody responded.

"Sure thing, sweetie", Carey happily replied.

"Okay, mom. Let's go meet Bailey and her mom, Mrs. Pickett", Cody suggested.

Carey gave a short nod to the head to Cody and with that the mother son pair went down to the lobby of the Boston Tipton hotel. When they arrived at the lobby, Cody and Carey were a few minutes early. To be precise, they were ten minutes early. Cody couldn't wait for ten minutes so he thought that he should go talk to Esteban who was behind the desk that Mr. Moseby used to work at. Carey idly watched her youngest son walk over to a friend. She sat down and Cody grow up into a fully matured young man right as the seconds ad minutes passed by right before her eyes. Time sure seems to go by when raising kids. As Carey looked back on days of her sons' youth, Cody struck up a conversation with Esteban at the same time.

"Hey, Esteban", Cody said.

Esteban turned around from behind the desk and faced Cody. He had a smile on his face.

"Oh, hello, Cody. How are you today", Esteban asked in response.

"I'm fine. I'm actually excited to meet Bailey in a few minutes", Cody answered.

"Oh that's right, Bailey's coming. I too am happy to see her again. You got yourself a real beauty", Esteban replied.

"Thanks, Esteban. Say, how's you and Francesca's life going?" Cody responded.

"It's been grand. My momma finally approves and has been teaching guitar lessons back at our village. Thank you for asking, Cody", Esteban happily replied.

"That's nice to hear that your mom has a joy in life that doesn't involve looking after you", Cody commented.

"Yes, it has been a blessing and it's all thanks to Bailey. She's the one who got London involved to help momma and Francesca to bond over dinner or at least to find a hobby for my mom", Esteban said.

"That reminds me, I need to keep a look out for when Bailey and her mom arrives", Cody noted.

"Well, I hope Bailey and her mom come soon", Esteban replied.

"Thanks Esteban. It was nice talking to you", Cody said.

"Oh it was my pleasure, Cody", Esteban said.

Cody waved walked back and waved behind him to Esteban. He walked at the front steps of the lobby and looked at his watch for the third time in the morning. He looked at it and calculated that Bailey and Eunice should come through the doors in just a few moments. While Cody waited in anticipation for Bailey's arrival, Carey leaned over to see what Cody was doing and peeked over from a magazine that she began to read. Carey looked at the expression on Cody's face and knew it would be close to the time to meet Bailey and Eunice. Carey dropped the magazine back on the table that she picked it up from and stood up.

The impending moment finally came when there were two female figures seen through the transparent glass of the rotating doors of the Tipton. Just outside the Tipton, Bailey and Eunice were looking up at the majesty of the building that Zack and Cody grew up in for four years as young teenagers. The two women were in awe at the site. They looked back at the front rotating doors and were taking a moment before they went through the threshold that would take them into the lobby of the Boston Tipton Hotel. Bailey was ready to take some load off as she had a backpack on and carried a bag on one her shoulders and carried a bag in each hand. As for Eunice, she was carrying two small trunks that were stacked against each other. Bailey and Eunice were greeted by the doorman and went through the rotating doors. When the two women came through the doors they were greeted by a welcoming and smiling face by none other than Cody Martin himself.

Bailey had a huge smile on her face as she was finally able to see her feller once more before they had to embark together to the campus of Yale University. Bailey carefully walked down the steps and came face-to-face with her Cody. Bailey was stilling beaming at him.

"I'm glad to see you Bailey", Cody happily greeted.

"I'm glad to see you too, Cody", Bailey said.

"Could I get some bags for? It looks like your arms are going to fall off", Cody offered.

"Oh sure, Cody. Thank you", Bailey said.

Bailey nicely handed Cody two of her bags and he held close in his hands. Cody looked back at his beautiful Bailey's Comet. He smiled at her even more.

"Well I guess we will have enough time to catch up with each other and finally have a 'hello' hug from each other once we get you settled in", Cody said.

"And don't forget what comes with the 'hello' hug. There's also the 'I missed you' kiss", Bailey added on.

"That would be nice", Cody commented.

Carey walked over to the trio. She wanted to introduce herself to Eunice.

"Well before we help Bailey get settled in, I would like to say I'm Carey Martin and I'm glad to meet you Mrs. Pickett", Carey said to Eunice.

Eunice smiled at Carey.

"It's so nice to meet you Carey Martin, I'm Bailey's mother, Eunice Pickett", Eunice replied.

"Do you need help", Carey asked.

"That is mighty fine of you to ask. I sure would appreciate your help. If it's too much trouble, could you take one trunk?" Eunice happily replied.

"Sure thing", Carey responded.

Carey took a trunk from Eunice's arms and helped her a great deal since anything stacked is going to be heavy. Carey carefully cradled the small trunk in her slim arms.

"Now all that is left is getting Bailey to a room", Carey said.

At the very moment that Carey said that, London came parading through the rotating doors and announced that she has come back from Paris. She donned pink and red shopping bags on her arms.

"I'm here, London Tipton. Little me back from Pierre", London happily announced.

"London", Bailey happily stated.

"Who said my name", London asked.

"I did", Bailey said.

London looked around and couldn't find the owner of the voice.

"Why does the voice sound like farm girl's voice? What her name again", London asked herself.

"London, turn your head. It's me, Bailey", Bailey said.

London turned her head and though that she was hallucinating. She spotted her long-time roommate and friend Bailey Pickett. She got excited and clapped her together before stepping down to meet Bailey.

"Oh, Bailey, you're here", London said while quickly hugging her.

"Hi, London. It's so nice to see you", Bailey hugged London back.

"But what are you doing here at the Tipton", Bailey and London asked simultaneously.

"You go first", Bailey said.

"Well, as you know I was off to Paris for another fabulous shopping trip or should I say Pairee", London started.

"You mean pa-ree", Bailey asked.

"What do you mean", London asked.

"In French, Paris is pronounced pa-ree. But it's spelt the same way in English as it is in French", Bailey explained.

"Whatever, I need to go back to my story", London said.

"Go ahead", Bailey replied.

"But Daddy cut me off and said I had return back here in Boston because he said two poor kids almost cost him money by complaining about some transcript, whatever that is. He said he could almost remember their names but didn't want to bother remembering them", London explained with a moan.

Cody and Bailey gave each other an awkward look towards each other. They were for sure that Wilfred Tipton would remember them since they caused trouble for him. But they also thought how ironic the situation was. London came back from her dazed stated after pouting and turned her attention towards Bailey again.

"So farm girl, why are you here? Couldn't stay away from brain boy? Why would you want to be near him? He's afraid of germs and you're a germ", London critically asked.

Cody had an affronted expression etched on his face and Bailey was considering of throwing out the cd that London made for her because after high school she had said that she was going to miss London teasing her every day. Bailey looked at Cody momentarily and gave him a look that said: 'don't let her words get you down'. The light brunette haired girl turned back to her friend. Instead of retaliating, Bailey decided to ignore London's criticism and answered one of her questions.

"Well, actually London, you're half right. It's true that I can't stay away from Cody but I'm also here to have a heads-up on leaving for Yale. Cody and I thought that it would be best to leave for college together so that we have someone with us while doing some activities for the incoming Freshmen class to get used to the campus", Bailey explained.

"Ugh you two are glued to the hip. Nothing could separate you two and I'm sorry to say but that's weird", London said.

"Well, it's been chatting with you London but I have to get a room", Bailey said.

"Why do you need to get a room? You could barely afford decent clothes to wear back in high school", London said.

"That is not the point, London", Bailey calmly stated.

"I can just pay a room for you", London offered.

"Oh no, London, I couldn't accept your offer. It's ok, I'll find another way to get a room", Bailey protested.

"Nonsense, Bailey. You're my friend, tragically brain boy's girlfriend and a friend of a few Tipton employees here. I don't see the problem of you getting a paid room by me. Think as it as a 'thank you' for all the years that you had put up with me and helping me when I needed help", London said.

"Well if you put it that way, I guess that it's okay", Bailey caved.

"How long will you be staying", London asked.

"For a week", Bailey replied.

"Then it's settled", London triumphantly stated.

London sauntered over to Esteban's desk and asked for a room for Bailey. Esteban was happy give a key to the room that Bailey would be staying at. London paid for the room for Bailey to stay in. Luckily, London requested Esteban to book a room for bailey either on the 23rd floor or the 25th floor. Esteban got a room on the 23rd floor and the room happened to be across the way of the Martins' suite. Esteban offered to give Bailey a free night but Bailey politely declined the offer. Esteban retrieved the key from the key wall and gave it to London. Bailey was about to show her appreciation towards London and say thank you but London dropped the key on the trunk that Carey was holding.

"I can't stay for much longer. My precious Ivana is way overdue for her doggy therapy and seaweed mask appointment. I need to go up to my room to get her", London explained.

London simply went up in the elevator to her room on the 25th floor to get Ivana. Cody and Bailey just exchanged weird looks with each other as well as their mothers. Even though all four people were all associated with London, it sort of puzzled then why she placed the key where she placed it. Cody shrugged his shoulders and brushed off London's action. He probably thought that she didn't know how to give the key since everyone had their hands full. Cody walked up to the side step that led to the elevator and looked at the three females.

"Well we might as well, we should get the luggage up to Bailey's new room", Cody stated.

"Cody's right, let's go", Carey agreed.

Cody pressed on the up button for an elevator to come down and take them back up to the 23r floor. Cody had let his mom, Mrs. Pickett, and Bailey to enter the elevator before him. Carey and Eunice thanked Cody and Bailey gave him a quick peck on the cheek as her way of saying thank you to him. Cody smiled at the soft touch of Bailey's lips on his right cheek. All four of them went up to the 23rd floor and helped Bailey get her stuff in the room before it would have be dragged down again to be packed in a car. Once the transferring of the luggage was done, Eunice and Carey went snuck outside Bailey's hotel room to give the two young love birds time alone.

Inside Bailey's room, she and Cody were finally alone. Bailey walked up to Cody and grinned at him. For Cody he had a goofy smile plastered across his face. Bailey looked up at Cody.

"We're alone and we finally can give each a hug and a kiss", Bailey said.

"Yes we can", Cody responded.

Cody and Bailey leaned in into each other's bodies and wrapped their arms around each other like they did at the mulch festival on the S.S. Tipton and when they worked together for a charity to give orphans toys for Christmas even if it was in South America where their 'winter' is as hot as summer. The hug lasted for a minute but it was just enough for the young couple that they missed each other. After the brief yet comforting hug, came the kiss. Bailey and Cody leaned in into each other's lips and closed the gap. Their soft lips moved in sync with one another's and were happy to finally share a kiss after many weeks since their victory kiss after the Mathlympics. The kiss was full of love and passion but it only lasted for two whole minutes. When Cody and Bailey parted from their kiss, they smiled at each other.

"I missed you so much, Bailey", Cody said.

"I missed you so much, too, Cody", Bailey replied.

"Well, I have to admit this is a nice place and it'll will make it easier for us to meet since our rooms are so close together", Cody commented.

Bailey snuggled her head against Cody's chest and looked around her hotel room. She was feeling sleepy from the exhausting plane ride. Her eyelids were drooping.

"Yeah, I guess so. I think the plane ride has really done me in Cody. I think I need to take a nap", Bailey yawned.

"Well, you can take a nap later. You need to say goodbye to your mom before you do that", Cody said.

"Ok but you'll have to drag me because I feel very comfortable resting my head on your chest", Bailey cooed.

"Well, I'm sorry I have such a soft chest", Cody joked.

Bailey lifted her head up and she suddenly found more energy. She realized that she would eventually get to take a nap but she had to say goodbye to her mom first. Although, it was so tempting to Bailey to just cuddle on a couch with Cody and sleep in his arms. Bailey walked past Cody and grabbed one of his hands in the process causing him to walk behind her. The farm girl opened the door and found her mom and Carey Martin standing side-by-side waiting for her and Cody to emerge from the room.

"Bailey, Carey and I were just talking and we thought it would be okay if you were taken care of by Mrs. Martin. She'll act as your guardian while you're here in Boston and of course we have the upmost confidence that Cody will take care of you too", Eunice stated.

"Okay momma and don't, I'll be a good for you and Mrs. Martin", Bailey assured.

"I doubt I'll have to worry about that", Carey said.

"Okay then. Good luck at Yale Bailey", Eunice said.

Eunice hugged Bailey and then drew back. She held on to her fourth youngest daughter for a bit longer before she would have to let go.

"Don't be a stranger and send your pa and I a letter every once and a while. Also trust Cody to take care of you and take care of him as well", Eunice advised.

"Okay mom, I won't be a stranger. I'll make sure to send you and pa a letter. I'll make sure that Cody and I look out for each other", Bailey promised.

"Okay good. Well there is one last thing I need to do before I leave. Cody I might need your help with this task. Could you come over and help me with it? I need to talk to you", Eunice said.

Eunice walked away from Bailey and Carey so that they couldn't hear anything, especially Bailey. Cody gave a weird look to Mrs. Pickett but obey her request. He walked over to where she was. He leaned in and waited for Mrs. Pickett to say what she needed to say.

"Cody I want to know that I already feel better that you're going to be with Bailey at Yale and well I don't see why not you can't earn your way into our family. When you and Bailey left the farm after the twister Grammy wanted to give you a family heirloom to Bailey so that you would be more a part of our family. Needless to say she mistook your brother as you. He almost swindled a family heirloom away from us because he was desperate for a gift to give for his girlfriend but I caught on and asked him to give the necklace back. He did and well now I have to give it to you", Eunice said.

Eunice dug through a pocket in her apron and took out the necklace. She handed it to Cody and he stared at it in his unfolded hand. Eunice gently took his hand in hers and folded his fingers over the heirloom.

"This necklace has been in the Pickett family for generations and Grammy thinks that Bailey should be the one to have it passed on to her and Grammy thought that it would be fitting if gave it to her. Please keep it safe and keep it hidden until you've found the right moment to give it to Bailey", Eunice said.

"I promise to keep it safe and hidden and I promise to give it to Bailey when the time is right", Cody promised.

"Thank you, Cody", Eunice said.

Cody slipped the necklace carefully into his right pocket. After Cody put the necklace in his pocket, Eunice took the opportunity to hug Cody.

"Thank you again", Eunice said.

"You're welcome", Cody simply stated.

Eunice walked back to Carey and Bailey with Cody trailing behind her. Eunice Pickett gave her daughter one last hug and looked straight at her. Bailey held onto her mom. Eunice slipped her hands off Bailey's shoulders.

"Goodbye, Bailey. I'll see at you for the holidays?" Eunice stated.

"I'm not sure about Thanksgiving but I'll definitely be home for Christmas", Bailey replied.

"Well, let me know if you can come home for Thanksgiving", Eunice said.

"I will momma", Bailey replied.

"Okay, goodbye then. Study hard but not too hard and have fun but not too much fun", Eunice advised.

"I will", Bailey promised.

With all that was exchanged between Bailey and Eunice Pickett, Mrs. Pickett left. Bailey watched her mother walk away from her. Bailey watched her mom leave until she could no longer see her. Bailey was used to being separated from her mom especially how well she took it when she was left on the boat but for some reason she felt her heart ache more this time around. Cody could tell what was going to happen and came in close to Bailey's side to comfort her when she would start to cry. Bailey bit her lips and tried to hold it in but she couldn't she cried and Cody was right there ready to embrace her. She cried in his shirt and Cody gently stroked her head in a comforting way. Carey encircled the couple in her arms. At the sight of Bailey crying from her mom leaving, Carey was slightly afraid of something similar happen to her and Cody.

Carey walked Cody and Bailey in the family's suite and sat them down at the table and started to brew a pot of tea for all of them. It was around but they had time before they would have some lunch. Carey thought they would have lunch around one thirty to give Bailey some time to rest. While Carey preparing a pot of tea, Cody was rubbing Bailey's back and used comforting words to sooth her. Bailey felt bad because she broke down in tears when her mom left.

"I don't get why I'm crying now", Bailey sniffled.

"It's okay to cry", Cody said.

"Yeah, I agree with Cody. I mean regardless whether you cried or not when you left on the S.S. Tipton, you can cry after your mom left just a week before you have to move in the dorms. College is a whole new ballgame and it's okay to feel sad and that you want to be closer to home", Carey emphasized.

"My mom's right. College probably is going to be a lot different from high school and probably a lot more frightening once we start but we'll have each other", Cody said.

"I know. I just wish that I didn't have to end up crying in front you, Cody, and your mom. I feel so foolish", Bailey said while clearing her throat.

"Don't be. Heck, I might feel foolish if I end up crying in front of you after my mom leaves us behind at Yale", Cody admitted.

"You won't have to worry about feeling foolish about crying in front of me either, Cody", Bailey said with a small hint of a smile on her face.

"I'm glad that you two will have each other to look after each other", Carey commented.

The kettle pot made a whistling sound and Carey turned her attention back to the tea. She turned off the burner and took out a box of three different tea bags. There was earl gray, green and ginger peach. She looked at the flavors and picked out green tea for herself Carey took out three mugs and poured hot water evenly in the mugs. She looked back at Cody and Bailey.

"What tea do you two want", Carey asked.

Cody and Bailey looked back at Carey.

"What do you have", Cody asked.

"There's green tea, ginger peach tea and earl gray", Carey explained.

"I'll have ginger peach, please", Bailey nicely requested.

"I'll have earl gray, mom", Cody said.

"Ok, one earl gray and one ginger peach", Carey repeated out loud.

Carey dropped the tea bags in selected mugs. Carey dropped the green tea in a flower mug. She then dropped the ginger peach tea bag in a sand dollar mug and the earl gray in a mug that said: Made in America with Finish parts. While Carey waited for the tea to steep in the water, she turned her attention at Cody and Bailey. She saw how gentle and sensitive Cody was acting towards Bailey and knew how special she was Cody. Carey saw how Cody wiped away some of Bailey's stray tears off of her cheeks with the tips of his thumb, carefully rubbing his thumbs off the sides of her face. Bailey leaned in on Cody and he kept her close to him at the table. Carey smiled at the couple. She thought that they looked so right for each other. Five minutes passed quickly and Carey noticed that the tea bags were done steeping in the water. She took a spoon and carefully scooped up each tea bag out of the mugs before she brought them over to the table.

When she brought the mugs over she announced what tea was in which mug. When Cody and Bailey received their mugs they thanked Carey for the tea and in response she just smiled at them. Shortly after, Carey joined Cody and Bailey at the table and drank her tea with them. In ten minutes, the trio finished their tea and Carey collected the mugs and brought them over to the sink. Bailey hugged Carey and thanked her for the tea and for the comfort. Carey was a little surprised by the hug but was happy that bailey was grateful and hugged the farm girl back saying a 'you're welcome' in reply. Bailey tried to offer to wash the mugs but both Cody and Carey told her that she needed to rest. Bailey tried to protest but Cody wrapped one arm around her waist and guided her to the door. He took her all the way back inside her hotel room. Cody found a blanket and laid Bailey on her hotel bed. He gave her the blanket. Bailey snuggled under the blanket on her bed and looked up at Cody.

"How did you get so sweet", Bailey asked.

"I learned from the best and got it from my mom and I maintained that sweetness from knowing you."

"Aww… Cody you really are the sweetest guy and I'm so lucky to have you as boyfriend."

"And I'm lucky to have you as my girlfriend. Now, please, sleep. You need rest, Bailey. I'll come back to check up on you in an hour so we can have lunch later", Cody stated.

"Thank you so much for what you've done for me", Bailey replied.

"You're welcome, Bailey", Cody smiled.

Bailey kissed Cody on the cheek and fell into dreamland shortly after. Cody gently stroked Bailey's forehead before kissing it and leaving her room. He return back to his family's suite once he was sure that she would have a good nap after having to wake up earlier than usual and flying for a significant amount of hours plus the time spent travelling with a minimal load of luggage. Cody wished he had met her and Mrs. Pickett at the airport but he didn't have a car at the time yet and he didn't know when he would get one. For what happened in the next hour would depend how and when Cody would wake Zack and Bailey up. Carey and Cody did not worry disturbing either Zack or Bailey, instead Cody read Frankenstein by Mary Shelly and Carey went down to sing at a rehearsal that she had that day.

Part Two (Scene Break)

After an hour had passed by, Cody went over to Bailey's room and went inside quietly. He went to where his sleeping beauty was resting and gently shook her shoulders causing her to wake. Bailey batted her eyelashes a little bit to adjust to the lighting; she yawned and stretched before sitting up from her bed. Bailey looked over at Cody.

"Hi, Cody", Bailey happily chirped.

"Hi, Bailey. Did you have a nice nap", Cody asked in response.

"Yes. Thank you for asking", Bailey replied.

"Do you want to help me wake up Zack", Cody asked.

"I think it would be entertaining", Bailey laughed.

"Then let's go. We have a lazy guy to wake up", Cody said.

Bailey hopped out of her bed and looped her right arm in with Cody's left one. The couple walked out of the room and went right into the suite. Cody opened the door to his and Zack's old bedroom and ushered Bailey in. When Bailey walked in, she noticed how clean and tidy Cody's old bed was. She smiled inwardly to herself and then turned back at the impending task of helping Cody wake up Zack. Cody went on one side of Zack's bed and Bailey went on the other side.

"On the count of three, we wake him up", Cody said.

"Right", Bailey agreed.

"One", Cody started.

"Two", Bailey continued.

"Three", Cody said.

Cody and Bailey quickly titled their heads down so that their mouths were close to his ears so he could clearly hear them.

"Wake up, Zack. It's time for lunch", Cody and Bailey bellowed at the same time.

Zack bolted out his bed from surprise of two load yet clear voices ringing in his ears. He rolled on one side and fell to the floor where Cody was standing. His face got smacked a little bit from the fall from his bed. He stood up from the floor, turned towards Cody and glared at him.

"You didn't need to yell so loud. It sounded like you had two voices", Zack sneered.

"That's because there were two voices", Bailey interjected from behind.

Zack quickly turned on his heels and came face-to-face with Bailey.

"Bailey, you're here", Zack happily stated.

Zack then paused before walking over to give her a welcoming hug. He thought for a while and realized that she helped Cody wake him up. He frowned at her.

"Wait. Bailey, you helped Cody wake me up", Zack asked with an annoyed tone.

"Yes", Bailey simply stated.

"Why", Zack whined.

"We thought it might be fun", Bailey explained.

Cody snickered from behind Zack. The older Martin twin spun on his heels as to turn back to his younger brother and glared at him again.

"Well, I'm glad you two had your fun", Zack sarcastically stated.

"It did wake you up", Cody said.

"Yes.…it did", Zack unenthusiastically agreed.

"Oh come on it wasn't that bad. Now you get dressed now since lunch will be ready soon", Cody suggested.

"Fine", Zack agreed.

Cody and Bailey walked around Zack's bed and walked out of the bedroom. Cody took out the necessary ingredients to make sandwiches and Bailey helped make them with Cody. By the time Zack came out, Cody and Bailey had set the table with plates, napkins and glasses. They placed sandwiches in the center accompanied with a side of fruit and homemade iced tea.

When the trio of high school graduates were about to sit down at the table, Carey came back from her rehearsal. She happily joined the teenagers and all four of them peacefully ate lunch together. Sometimes Bailey would talk to Carey or Zack during lunch and sometimes Cody talked to Bailey, Zack or his mom. Once lunch was over and the dishes were cleaned by Carey and Bailey, all four of them relaxed. The rest of the day without a problem and so did the rest of the week.

During the week that Bailey stayed at the Tipton, she was introduced to more Tipton employees by Cody and went on a tour of Boston with the Martin family. Bailey got to see everything that she wanted to see in Boston, Massachusetts. By the end of the week, Cody and Carey went out to get Cody a new car for him to use while at Yale. Carey and Cody came back with a honda civic car that was practical and environmentally friendly. The compact car had a gas mileage of 35. It would be great for Cody and Bailey's use while they were in Yale. The color of the car was silver as Cody thought it was good neutral car color. He didn't pick black because it would be hard to spot in the dark and he didn't pick white because it would get dirty easily. As for other colors, some didn't fit his taste or wasn't provided for the model that he chose.

When it was time for Cody and Bailey to leave for Yale, Carey offered to come with them. Zack didn't feel like being by himself back at the suite so he came along too. Once Bailey checked out of her hotel room, she left with Zack, Cody and Carey. Even though it wasn't necessarily good for the environment, the four of them took two cars for better "man power" to get all of Cody and Bailey stuff into their dorms. Plus, it would give Zack and Carey the chance to say goodbye to Cody and Bailey at Yale and not have to worry about squeezing in one car.

Once they got to Yale and Cody and Bailey got their room assignments and their stuff was all in their rooms, it was time to say goodbye. Fortunately, Cody and Bailey's rooms were in the same building as each other. Cody's floor was below Bailey's floor so that they could still see each other quite frequently. Everyone decided to say their goodbyes to each other in front of the co-ed building. Carey spoke up first.

"Cody, remember to take care of yourself and to take care of Bailey", Carey sternly said.

"I will mom", Cody promised.

"And Bailey make sure that Cody doesn't do something that he might regret later on in life", Carey said.

"I will Mrs. Martin and thank you for welcoming me into your home and looking out for me ", Bailey replied.

'It was my pleasure and you're welcome. You're always welcome back our suite on the 23rd floor", Carey commented.

"Thank you", Bailey said.

Carey and Bailey hugged each other and then had let go. Zack walked up to Cody and Bailey.

"Good luck here at Yale, you two", Zack said.

"Thanks, Zack", Cody and Bailey chorused.

"And don't study too hard", Zack advised.

"We'll make sure of that", Cody assured.

"Bailey I trust you to look after my brother for me", Zack said.

"I'll make sure to keep Cody close to me", Bailey promised.

"And Code Red, keep Bailey safe from other dudes and make sure she doesn't end up in any chick fight", Zack said.

"Ok, Zack", Cody replied.

"Good luck with finding a job or going to a community college, Zack", Bailey said.

"Thanks, Bailey", Zack responded.

"Well, I guess we better head out now", Carey said.

"Bye, guys", Zack said.

Zack hugged Cody first and then hugged Bailey second. He drew back from the hugs a bit slowly as he sort of didn't want to let go of either one of his friends. He really did consider his brother, Cody, and Bailey as his true and real friends. It was Carey's turn to give goodbye hugs as well. She hugged Bailey first and then hugged Cody second.

"Goodbye you guys", Carey sniffled a bit.

"We will mom", Cody promised.

Bailey laced her fingers into Cody's fingers and gently squeezed his hand out of comfort. Cody had a firm yet gentle grip on Bailey's hand. Carey and Zack gave Cody and Bailey sad smiles and then turned away. The couple watched Carey and Zack walk away until they could no longer see them in the distance. Cody bit his lower lip as an attempt to prevent himself from crying. He tried to draw blood from his lip so that he would feel physical pain as supposed emotional pain. He knew that the pain would distract him from the heartache but he couldn't seem to draw any blood from his bottom lip and instead he decided to let his tears flow.

Bailey knew what to expect and encircled Cody's body in her slim arms to welcome Cody into a warm hug. She knew that Cody had been there for her when she cried and thought that she owned him the same comfort. Cody didn't allow himself to be too loud but he did allow himself to be vulnerable in front of Bailey and cried into one of her shoulders. The country girl spoke comforting words into her city boy's ears and it helped calm him. Luckily, Cody didn't cry as much as Bailey but just enough to show that he would miss his mom and brother. When he was done, he lifted his head from his girlfriend's shoulder and wiped a few tears away from his cheeks. Bailey pulled away from the embrace but firmly kept her hands on Cody's shoulders. The couple looked into each other's eyes and gave each other a small smile.

"Well looks like we're even now, Bailey. We've both cried in front of each other and didn't feel ashamed to do it in one another's presence", Cody said.

"I'm just glad that you let your emotions out and allowed me to comfort you", Bailey said.

"Thank you for helping get through the pain", Cody smiled.

"You're so welcome, sweetie", Bailey stated.

Cody hugged Bailey and kissed her on both cheeks. He gave her a few Eskimo kisses as well and then drew back from her body.

"Let's get better acquainted with our new home at Yale", Cody suggested.

"Ok", Bailey agreed.

Cody and Bailey linked their hands together and turned back around to the entrance of the building that they would be living for about the next nine months. Cody swiped his student card to get the building and entered it with Bailey. As the typical gentleman that Cody was, he walked all the way back with Bailey and escorted her to her dorm room. When Bailey was safely inside her room, Cody made plans with Bailey to have dinner with her later at the eating commons room or what also could be called the dining center. Cody walked down the stairs that separated his floor from Bailey's floor and returned to his dorm room. Until he and Bailey would have dinner together, Cody would just have to wait and hope to finally meet their roommates.
