Living Not Dreaming [Suite Life on Deck]

28 - Prank

It was Jack's last day on the S.S Tipton. They were arriving in New York the following afternoon.

Jack sat out in the Sky Deck with his friends. They sat at the smoothie bar while Zack worked. 

"I can't believe you're leaving," Zack said. "Convince your parents to make you stay."

"I tried," Jack informed Zack, "but they won't let me."

Zack sighed, disappointedly. 

"Is there anything you can do to stay?" Bailey asked.

"I tried everything I can think of," Jack said. "Nothing worked."

Jack wished they wouldn't talk about his leaving. He didn't want to think about it too much. He didn't want to ruin his last day either. 

"I, uh, I'm going to check if everything is packed," Jack lied.

He got up and left his friends at the smoothie bar. He felt his eyes on the back of his head, watching him walk away.

Jack took a deep breath as he entered his and Evan's shared room.

He sat down on the edge of his bed and scanned the room.

He knew he had packed everything. He knew that he didn't forget to pack anything.

Evan promised Jack that if he did forget anything, he'll mail it back to New York for him.

He stayed in the bedroom for a couple of minutes before getting up from the edge of his bed and rejoined his friends in the Sky Deck.

"Is everything packed?" Cody asked.

"Yeah," Jack nodded. "Didn't forget anything."

Bailey smiled.

"Alright," Zack said.

His shift at the smoothie bar ended and he walked around from behind the counter.

"It's Jacks' last full day on the S.S Tipton," Zack said. "Let's end his time here with a bang."

"What do you have in mind?" Evan said with a mischievous grin.

"So much," Zack said with the same smile. 

Zack and Evan looked at Jack.

Zack quickly changed in his and Marcus's cabin.

They intentionally left Cody and Bailey out of their plans, knowing that they might potentially rat them out if they knew what Zack and Evan had planned.

Jack, Evan, Zack and Marcus spent the entire day playing pranks on their friends and Mr. Mosbey.

"Hey, hey, hey," Jack whispered quietly to his friends.

They were hiding behind the smoothie bar counter. They were waiting for their prank to go into effect. They set up their prank in Cody's shared cabin with Woody. The prank was for either one of them, both if they're lucky.

Before Jack could say anything, they heard Cody and Woody screaming. 

Jack, Evan, Zack, and Marcus poked their heads up from the smoothie bar to see Cody and Woody running out onto the Sky Deck with ants crawling on them,

Jack smiled.

"Nice," he said. "Anyways," he turned his attention back to Evan, Zack, and Marcus.

The four of them stood up from behind the smoothie bar counter and walked around the counter.

"Why don't we play a prank on Miss. Tutweiller?" Jack suggested.

They had already played a prank on every single person they know, including some of the crew members. Jack wanted to prank someone different, someone they never pranked before.
