(yes there is a such thing as a power outage on a cruise ship, but more on that later :) 

"you just saved me from getting hit with a lightning bolt" I said to Zack. "you saved my life"

The people around us cheered for Zack (cuz despite this being my own story, at the end of the day [its not very funny is it] its still a Disney Channel show).

"Yeah I did, so how about a Thank You hug and kiss then?" He said holding his arms out. 

"ooooooooooooooooooooooo" the people around us cooed. 

"oh shush it" I said to them, I can't beleive he's putting me on the spot like this.

WAIT

"I'll give you a hug certaintly, but didn't you have a date with some girl tonight? I don't think she'll be happy to hear that you've kissed someone else" I said as a cover up. Hey, he might have saved my life but I still have my boundaries. 

"ohhhh you're right Sarah" he just realized... wow is he a player.

"her name is Tanya" 

"Whatever, just come here!" he said arms wide open, I gave him the biggest hug I've ever given anybody. I squeezed him tight, never wanting to let go, ever. Then the people around cheered. Again. And then Tanya came up and canceled her date with Zack. Apparently she doesn't like hugging either. I don't blame her, there was WAYYYYYYY too much passion in that hug. 

Zack shrugged and went back to holding me. Wait. I feel kinda bad I stole someone's date. 

"I'm glad you're alive" he wispered into my ear. 

Wait. No I don't!

Mr Moseby walked into the room. Everyone was crowded into a room in order to hear some instructions on what to do because of the storm. The storm was one of the craziest ever, we were in stage 5 hurricane hotspot! 

"once you finish canoodling"  Moseby said looking directly at me and Zack. Yikes.

"I unfortunately need to announce that we are experiencing a temporary blackout, due to the storm, and all emergency generaters are going towards helping the captain get through this storm as quickly, safely, and efficently as possible, I am so sorry for any and all inconveinence" He said nervously. Thats a LOT of angry passengers right there.  They want something in return, and they want it NOW.

"BUT I am proud to announce that in the lobby we have complimentary gift bags full of essentials such as flashlights, and heating and cooling essentials to get you through this storm. Oh, and also all refunds of expenses paid before you boarded the boat! (things like The hotel, the fees, and basicially everything you paid for that wasn't food or was from the gift shop)"

The crowd cheered again, and went to the lobby to grab their things.

"YES I GET TO KEEP MY MONEY" Zack cheered.

"oh please, you know darn well why you got that job." Mr Moseby replied rolling his eyes and leaving.

"We should head to the lobby before the power goes out and grab some stuff" Zack said standing up, extending his arm out to help me up. "You ok?" he asked, as we started walking towards the lobby. 

"Yes, real question is are YOU ok? Like you saved me from a lightning strike, but did you get hit in the process?

"Nope, I guess we know whos TRULY The Flash here" he joked. Honestly I laughed. What? It was good.

We got our stuff and I got a text from Bailey with the little cell service we had left

"The gang is in your room" I told Zack. "According to cody, apparently a lot of people can generate a lot of body heat when in a confined space and since we are heading over to Oymyakon, Russia, the coldest place in europe, we're going to be needing a lot of that" I said reading the text. 

"What if I was Homophobic?" Zack said. 

"ZACK" I wisper-shouted, "THAT MEANS YOU HATE QUEER PEOPLE".

"OH I THOUGHT IT MEANT YOU WERE AFRIAD OF CONFINED SPACES IN YOUR HOME-" He exclaimed in a wisper-shout. That boy is either extremley dumb, or knows extremley well how to get a rise out of me. 

"wait so what does it mean when you are afraid of confined spaces?" Zack asked honestly.

"Claustrophobia" I replied.

"well what if I had that?" He teased again.

"then Cody would be a horrible brother to follow through with this plan" 

"You're right, cody is many things, like bland, annoying, a know-it-all, but a terrible brother may not be one of them." he admitted, of course without adding the "but if you ever tell him this I'll deny the heck out of it". 

"I promise I won't tell Cody anything you just said. Pinky swear?" I said holding out my pinky towards Zack. 

"Aren't we a little too old for that?" he said hesitantly. So I replied with the obvious "aren't you a little too old to not know what claustrophobia is?"

"you're right put 'er there" Zack said holding out his pinky, as I intertwined my pinky with his. 

Wait, does this mean that we're technically holding hands? Probably not, I'm thinking too much into it. 

"whelp we should head upstairs to your room to meet everyone there"

"you're right"

✨time skip✨

We got to his room and lo and behold the entire gang is there.

"Great, you got Bailey's text." Cody said, "so I was thinking, in order to keep ourselves warm we could all sleep in Zack's room". 

"wait so like, a sleepover?!" Woody asked getting  excited, "I CALL TOP BUNK"

"There are no bunks" Zack scoffed, "and you call me the dumb one" 

"that's cuz you are" Cody and I said in unison. We both gave each other a look. "nice" it said. 

"well if I'm so dumb, maybe I shouldn't tell you about the heating recources you can get in a bag as well as a flashlight IN THE LOBBY. Oh shoot" 

"wait seriously?" Bailey asked, and Zack and I held up our bags. "London, our plan is happening even faster than expected!" she squealed, "OKAY EVERYBODY, LETS HEAD TO THE LOBBY TO GRAB OUR BAGS! Except Zack and y/n. Zack, why not show y/n around?" 

Oh no, what is she up to?
