ROMANCE AT THE TIPTON
Based on the TV Show "Suite Life series"

Zack was , his and Cody's mom, had already gone down to her gig. Cody was also downstairs, either talking with Arwin about some laser part or in the kitchens making some spectacular meal.

Now under normal circumstances, Zack would just lay back and do pretty much nothing. But these were no ordinary circumstances. Flipping through channels Zack found, to his great horror, there was nothing on. On top of that, his mom had conviently managed to find a hidding place for the desserts. A hiding place Zack hadn't found yet!

Sighing loudly, Zack pulled himself up from the couch. He knew of at least one distraction that would help him in his time of boredom. Reaching the door, he reached down to grasp the handle, and was greeted by the wood.

"Oof," he called as he hit the floor.

Cody ran into the room, oblivious to Zack's cry.

"Zack!" he called, "Zack!"

He ran into the twin's shared bedroom. Reappearing he called out, "Zack, where are you?"

"I'm right here," Zack mumbled annoyed. He stood up, rubbing his nose where the door hit him.

"Why were you on the floor?" Cody asked.

Zack glared at him.

"I was meditating," he replied sarcastically.

"Really?" Cody exclaimed in suprise.

"No," Zack said, annoyed by Cody's obliviousness, "You hit me with the door!"

"Oh," Cody replied, his facial expression dropping in worry, "Uh, sorry."

"Why are you slamming the door open anyway?" Zack said.

"Because I needed to tell you something," Cody replied.

Zack crossed his arms. His expression plainly said 'your point?'.

"Arwin told me he was going to ask mom out," Cody continued.

It took ten seconds for Zack to react.

"What!" he exclaimed, "Arwin? As in Arwin the maintenance guy?"

"Yeah," Cody replied, "What's the big deal?"

"Cody, he wears a welding mask!" Zack retorted.

Cody looked at him blankly.

"When he's not welding anything," Zack added, trying to get his brother to see his point.

"So?" Cody said, missing said point entirely.

"So, you want a guy like that asking MOM out?" Zack replied, "Mom!"

Cody shrugged.

"He's nice enough guy," he argued, "And if you remember Mom did kiss him at the basketball game."

Zack shuddered, "Don't remind me."

"Zack, I don't see a problem with this," Cody replied, suprised his brother seemed hostile to the idea of Arwin just asking their mom.

"Well, I do. And I'm going to go talk to Arwin about it," Zack headed for the door, "You coming."

Cody nodded, running after Zack. He had the feeling he was going to intervene at some point.
