A Life in the Tipton Hotel

Chapter 1

"Did you see how those flowers made mom smile?" said a voice from the tv. "Yeah it's great! If she has a boyfriend, she'll be so busy being all girly with him and she'll leave us alone" said another voice. "And she'll be happy" "and we'd be able to play that videogame" "and she'll be happy" " and we won't have to make our beds!" "And she'll be happy!!!!" "You're so selfish. Can't you think of anything besides mom's hapiness?" said the voice from the tv. Joette giggled, "Oh Zack you are so funny and Cody you're so sweet thinking about your mom" Joette was watching her all time favorite show, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.  She started to remember her childhood memories of coming home from school and watching the show. She always dreamed about living at the Tipton hotel. "Oh, I wish I was in the show at that time and meet them. They must be really cool in person." wished Joette.  She looked back at her drawer. "Now what should I wear?" she asked herself. Joette was getting ready for her cousin's wedding but never found the perfect outfit to wear. Knowing she had more possible outfits, Joette walked to her closet door starting to wonder about the possible adventures she could have with Zack and Cody. Suddenly, when she touched the doorknob, the door started to glow. Joette was surprised. Why was her door glowing? Joette held the doorknob and started to turn it really slowly. When the door was left ajar, all she could see were blue stars. She decided to walk into her closet to get a closer look. When Joette turned around, she couldn't see her room anymore. Where was she? Suddenly a bright blue light started to come closer to her. She tried to back away and go back to her room but everytime she tried to leave the light came closer and closer. Joette closed her eyes for a second. 'Maybe this is a dream and I'll wake up just right now.' she thought. Joette opened her eyes. The blue stars were gone and so was the light but she was not in her room. She looked around hoping to know where she is. She gasped. "This can't be...I can't.....this is not....it is." gasped Joette. She seemed to be outside of a very familiar building where big golden letters that read 'the Tipton Hotel' were set at the top of the revolving doors. She stepped inside the building. Everyone and everything she hoped to see was therein front of her. Maddie, the candy girl was in one side of the lobby and Mr.Moseby, the manager, on the other side. "Esteban, please pick up these bags and take them to room 236." commanded Mr. Moseby. Esteban, the bell hopper, came running to his counter. "Oh yes sir" he replied in his funny little accent. "Oh my god, I'm in the tipton hotel." said Joette astonished. "Maddie!!!!!" yelled a girl with a pink glittery hat and gold glittery clothes. "That's London Tipton." said Joette. She walked a little bit closer to the candy counter. "What is it London?" asked a blonde girl with a blue shirt and a plaid necktie. "I need your help again." demanded London. "On what?" asked Maddie. "On tutoring. Daddy said that if I dont pass this test I'll have to wear......that" London pointed at Maddie's clothes in disgust. Maddie sighed. "London I promised myself that I would never help you out on math again" she said, remembering all the troubles she would always have with tutoring London. "I'll buy you that diamond necklace you saw at the mall" sang London. "Let's go study." said Maddie suddenly forgetting those moments. The two girls walked off to the elevator making Joette giggle. "Oh London you always know how to get Maddie to do what you want but yet you dont know how to add 2 and 2" said Joette. "I cannot believe that I am in the Tipton hotel!" She thought about the twins but realized that she might never find them. "The boys are probably in college right now. I mean this is the year 2015." said Joette. She stood in the middle of the lobby thinking about how the boys are handling life right now. Until suddenly she heard something coming right at her. "Coming through" said a voice "Hey watch out!" said another voice "wait is that..." suddenly a luggage cart crashed into Joette. Two blonde boys with light greenish-bluish eyes jumped off from the cart. They looked like they were twins! "Hey sorry about that, my brother just doesn't know how to stop carts and being an idiot." said one of them. "Now it's my fault I wanted a ride!" said the other one in a sarcastic tone. "Here let me help you up." One of the twins lended his hand to Joette. "Thanks." said Joette. Suddenly she noticed how the boys seemed a bit familiar. They looked a lot like Zack and Cody, almost as if they were the same person. Then Joette suddenly realized something, What if she didn't just travel to the Tipton but also time travel there too? At first, she only thought this was also joke  and all in her imagination. She can't possibly time travel! Right? "What year is this?" asked Joette suddenly starting to worry; she hoped that she wasn't going crazy and that these boys were just regular people. The twins looked at her in a worries way. Who asks such an obvious question? "Um I think zack hit you in the head pretty hard." said one of them. "Hey at least she knows her name, right?" asked Zack. Zack didn't want to get in trouble again. He doesn't know how long he'll be grounded but he knows it will be for a long time. "Of course I know my name. It's Joette." she replied. "Well its May 25, 2007" said Zack. Omg, I just time traveled to the tipton hotel, thought Joette. she looked around being astonished at where she was. Zack and his brother looked at her confused. "Um are you ok?" asked zack's brother. "Oh um yeah i'm fine. i'm just kinda lost." she replied. "Do you remember where you live?" asked Zack. "I do but it's just really far from here. I don't even know how I got here." said Joette. "Don't worry we'll get you a room." Zack said. "Um would you excuse us for a second. I'm cody by the way and he's zack." introduced cody. Cody pulled his brothers arm back. He seemed to be confused. How would they get her a room if she doesn't have her parents? "Zack how are we going to give her a room? Mr. Moseby is going to send her off to the police if she doesn't have her parents" said Cody. "Oh Cody, she already lives here." Zack walked to Joette. "Look Joette, we just found you a room here at the hotel." Zack said. Cody looked mad. "Zack.." he said. Zack pushed his brother to the side for a second. "Cody, do you want a beautiful girl like her to be alone in the streets with no one to be with her?" asked Zack. Cody looked at Joette again. She smiled and waved. Zack did have a point. So far. "So, let's take you to your room." Cody grabbed Joette's arm and they both ran to the elevator. They wanted to make sure Mr. Moseby didn't see them. Joette, however, started to worry. She wondered if she was ever going to get home, how exactly did she get here in this time, if she was ever getting to her own life again. She especially thought about if her interactions with tv characters could probably change everything. She knew mostly everything about the characters especially their future and she knew that if she changed one little thing, it could change their whole fate. "I'm going to have to be very careful with my actions and thoughts here. I don't want to ruin anything," she thought "I'll just be a minor character in here and hopefully I can figure out a way to get home without letting them know where I'm actually from. The future"
