OK, This is my very first story. I just got bored and decided to write a little, and this is what I came up with. Hope you all enjoy and review!

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

"What's your problem!" Zack yelled. He and Cody were fighting. Again.

"You're my problem!" Cody yelled back. They were in one of the Tipton Hotel's elevators, on their way up to their suite on the 23rd floor, which they called "home."

"Boys, can't we talk about this like calm, rational adults?" asked Maddie. She saw the boys fighting in the lobby, while she was working at the candy counter. She decided to follow them up to their suite, hoping she could get them to stop fighting. She thought wrong.

"NO!" The twins both yelled in unison, as the elevator doors opened. They walked out, still arguing as they reached their door. The door to their suite suddenly flew open, a very angry Carey on the other side.

"Whoa! Hold it right there!" she said, arms folded across her chest. "I heard you yelling from down the hallway! What's going on here?"

The twins began yelling their sides of the story. Carey raised one eyebrow and looked at Maddie. "It's been like this since they walked in the front doors," she said, nodding her head.

Carey sighed. "Boys, one at a time, please," she pleaded, ushering everyone inside.

"Zack played a prank on me at school today, and everyone was laughing at me," Cody explained, looking up with sad, wide eyes at his mother.

"Yeah, well, you didn't have to tell everyone how I'm afraid of snakes just to get me back! I have a reputation to uphold, you know!" Zack yelled. He threw his backpack down and plopped on to the couch.

"Sometimes I really wish I was someplace else," Cody mumbled, throwing his arms up and shaking his head. Zack glared at him.

"Sometimes I wish you were somewhere else, too. And sometimes I wish you would just disappear! You ruin everything! Why can't you just leave and never come back!" Zack was now screaming at his brother.

Carey interjected. "Zackary Martin!" She had never heard her boys fight like this before. Maddie stared in disbelief at the boys.

Cody looked extremely hurt. His brother had never said something that hurtful before. And it seemed like he really meant it this time.

"Fine, if that's what you want," Cody said in a weak voice. He turned around and looked at his mother, hoisting his backpack higher up on his shoulder. "I'm going to do my homework in the lobby," he said, and walked out of the suite, his head hanging down.

Zack let out an aggravated cry, "What, am I supposed to feel sorry for him now?"

"Zack, I want you to go and apologize to your brother. That was a really mean thing to say to him, you really upset him! Go, right NOW," Carey said. She had crossed her arms again and gave Zack a stern look.

Zack groaned. "Fine," he said, throwing his arms out to his sides while giving his mother a smug smile. He strode over to the door and said under his breath "But I sure as hell won't mean it." And with that, he walked out the door and over to the elevator.

Carey looked at Maddie, who, having heard what Zack said, raised her eyebrows and let out a silent "Oh."

"What did he just say?" Carey asked, pointing her finger at the door.

Maddie said, "You don't wanna know."

"I'm going to kill him," Carey muttered, marching out of the suite with Maddie hot on her heels.

Meanwhile…

Outside the Tipton sat a black van, which two men in their early 30s were emerging from.

"You ready?" asked one of the men. He was tall and thin, with long black hair tied in a ponytail that hung down to the middle of his back. He had a thick scar under his right eye, right next to his crooked nose.

The second man, tall, but not thin like the first man, looked up. He took off his hat, revealing a bald head, and put it in his pocket. Then he threw down his cigarette and stepped on it, smiling at his partner. "Don't worry, boss, I know exactly what needs to be done."
