Maddie on Deck

ON THE SKY DECK, Freya was helping London prepare for Maddie's welcome party with Cody and Bailey. Maddie was a nice girl who worked at the Tipton hotel at the candy counter. Freya had met Maddie a few times when she was visiting Moseby at the Tipton. They got along very well and even though they hadn't seen each other in a while, they kept in touch here and there. Moseby was very fond of Maddie, so naturally, he was very happy when the two girls got along. (Even though Freya had visited the Tipton many times before, Moseby didn't trust the boys so he always made sure they stayed as far away from Freya as possible, but he never told her that. When she finally met the twins, Moseby's biggest fear came true; Freya fell for Zack's charm)

"Look! I made a welcome Maddie sign!" London exclaimed. The sign read 'London Tipton' is large, bold letters while 'welcomes Maddie' was significantly smaller.

"Oh yeah. I guess I do see Maddie's name. If I squint really hard." Cody said.

"Is Maddie here yet?" Bailey asked.

"Not yet." Freya answered.  Zack walked over to them. They all got a big whiff of whatever he was eating. "Zack, what is in that sandwich?" Freya asked, plugging her nose.

"Who knows? I just pulled it out of my underwear drawer." Zack shrugged.

"That's your boyfriend?" Bailey mumbled to Freya, teasingly. Freya rolled her eyes with a grin. "You know, I'm surprised Maddie could afford a vacation like this. London's always telling me how tragically poor she is." Bailey commented.

"Well she saved up all her babysitting money." Freya began.

"And her candy counter tips." Zack added.

"And all the change from between her couch cushions and finally had enough money." Cody said.

"For the bus ticket to the airport." Zack finished.

"So I paid for her flight to meet us. Coach, of course. Wouldn't want her to feel out of place." London grinned. Moseby jogged down the stairs with a big grin on his face, cheering quietly about Maddie before he noticed the kids weird stares.

"What I was saying was that I think I saw Madeline on the gangplank." Moseby trailed off awkwardly.

"Ooh! I'm gonna take Maddie shopping right away! Freya, you're coming with us!" London cheered, looping her arm through Freya's.

"No you're not! Me and Freya are gonna get lunch with her!" Zack frowned, pulling Freya closer to him.

"After Freya and I take Maddie to the ship's planearium!" Cody got in the middle. Freya and Cody enjoyed going to the planetarium together to escape their friends drama and stupidity. They began arguing over each other as Maddie entered the sky deck.

"I'm here!" Maddie tried to shout over them but they continued to yell.

"Why don't we give her a chance to relax and unpack?" Moseby ushered.

"Unpack what? She can't afford luggage?" London asked. They began to yell over each other again as Maddie walked around them, trying to gain their attention. Freya's eyes widened as she finally noticed the blonde girl. She squealed as she ran over to her.

"It's so great to see you again, Maddie!" Freya smiled, hugging her.

"You too! I haven't seen you in so long!" Maddie grinned. The two of them turned back to group who were still arguing, unaware that the blonde girl was even on the ship yet.

"Why don't you just flip a coin?" Bailey yelled over them, gaining their attention.

"Wait, who has a coin?" London asked.
