Okay, so I read one story a few weeks ago 'Just one of the Guys' by Elianna22 and now I'm forever a Zach and Bailey fan! Used to be Cailey, and I still like them, but I can never look at them the same way again. So I just saw the new epsiode about saving the wales, and I saw a Zailey moment the whole time and I just HAD to write it :)

Cody was on the ground, passed out. Bailey fanned him with a piece of cardboard. She hoped he was okay. She paused, and then started fanning herself. Sweat glistened off her skin, and she breathed heavily.

"London, seriously- how do you not sweat?" Bailey breathed.

"Sweat? Ew...ladies don't sweat! I have trained myself into being beautiful in all climates!" She said proudly, sitting upright, "Look! It's my baby whale! Don't worry, soon you'll be happy in my bathtub!" She giggled, coddling the screen like it was the large whale itself.

Bailey sighed...London was no help. She gently pushed Cody under the control panel, hoping it would give him some slight shade. Then she stood up- they'd been here for nearly ten hours. They were hungry, they were hot, and they were mostly parched. This was the fourth time Cody had passed out from heat. She swallowed, but all she felt was the dry sticky saliva painfully run down her throat.

Kirby was lying on the ground, alseep in a painfully warm sleep. He was sweating less, but there was still a sweaty puddle like a lake around him. He twitched in his sleep. At least he was partly comfortable, unlike the rest of them.

Marcus was over in the corner hunched over. Bailey sauntered over to him.

"Are you okay?" She asked, her voice cracking. Marcus's body shuddered and he coughed.

"Drank...Kirby's sweat...so thristy...barfing..." He managed before moaning and spitting on the floor. Bailey backed up.

"I...I hope you feel better." There was really nothing she could do or say to help him. One thing, maybe...she looked at the door. The wales' health or their own? She was smart, and she honestly didn't know how long Cody to last. She had been so stupid! If they'd only packed food or water...maybe they wouldn't be in this mess. She breathed in, but her breath was humid. Her shirt was soaked...luckily she had a thick tank top under her shirt. She took it off, and strained it out, and an impressive puddle formed on the ground. She didn't bother putting it back on. This felt so much better, the warm wind hitting her completley bare arms and shoulders.

She went over to the door, and looked back. Cody would kill her later for this, but she wasn't going to let the heat kill him first. She grabbed the metal board that was locking the door. It was burning to the touch, and it burned her hands. She pushed the pain to the back of her mind and pushed up. It didn't budge...she tried harder. She got down on her hands and knees and looked up to see the problem.

No...metals was slightly melting together, making it impossible to escape this blazing oven. She felt like she wanted to cry, but she held strong. Her phone bepped...oh yeah, her phone! She answered it and it was the man watching the wales course.

"Yeah?" Bailey said.

"I heard what you're doing- great job!" He said excitedly, "But listen, you're going to have to hold out for awhile longer." He said. Bailey's heart dropped.

"How much longer?" She was afraid.

"Five more hours? At the least? Some of the pod got seperated and they're waiting by in the waters near you're ship for the missing members." He said, "Hang in there! Oh, got to go!" He didn't even bother to say good-bye, just hung up.

Bailey let her phone fall, it didn't matter. They couldn't get out if they wanted to. This was horrible. She started crying this time. She was so hot and tired that she didn't think to use her phone to call for help. She had stupidly sent everyone to their death...Kirby, London, Cody, Marcus, and Zach.

Zach....wait where was he? She looked all around the small room...but she couldn't find him. She looked at the metal mesh room in the far back corner. She noted the door was slightly ajar, the lock broken off. He couldn't be in there- she would have heard him at the least- right?

She put her hand on the door. It was cold. Instant relief rippled throughout her body. She noted the familiar mop of blond hair lay on the ground. She gasped, and ran over to him. He was umoving, his mouth slightly ajar, and she couldn't tell if he was breathing.

She put her ear next to his mouth and looked at his chest. His hot breath was on her ear, faint, but there. His chest was moving just slightly. She propped him upward against the metal bin. She knew why he came in here; it was a lot cooler, but it was still close to baking them alive.

"Zach! Zach! Are you okay?" She shook his shoulders. He grumbled slightly, moving a bit. His eyelids fluttered open.

"Who's...that?" he moaned quietly, his voice nearly inaudible, "B...bailey?"

"Yeah, it's me. What happened?" She asked, sitting next to him. He blinked, but then closed his eyes. He was obiously weak, and he slouched against her.

"Not sure...just need water...and then...black." He manged to choke out, and groaned, "Headache- so hot." Then he gave a weak laugh, "In more ways than one."

"How can you think of that at a time like this?" Bailey said, scoffing but turned away. He turned his head to face her, shifting slightly against her. His eyes were beginning to clear from the fogginess, and he swallowed.

"It's easy...when you're...wearing...something...like that." He said, referring to her tank top. She blushed a deep red, and looked away, biting her lip.

"Yeah, well- I was really warm. And guess what? We're stuck in here- door is sealed shut." She added sourly, and Zach's eyes grew wide.

"What? No!" He tried to stand up, but only got to his feet to crumple back down to his knees.

"Zach!" Bailey scolded, "You should know better! You're still very weak. That was stupid." She added with an after thought as she put her arms around him to help him back down into a sitting position.

"Thanks..." Zach moved his shoulder blades and grunted as it it phyiscally hurt him. He looked at her, grinning.

"What?" Bailey demanded.

"You're sorta hot, you know that?" He chuckled, as Bailey's eyes widened. She knew she was, many boys back in Kettlekorn had wanted her affection. Cody called her hot to- okay, he called her 'beautiful' but she could see it in his eyes.

"Did you by chance hit you're head when you fainted?" She asked with a nevous giggle. Zach grinned.

"Someone's uncomfortable." He sang softly, and Bailey seriously was beginning to think the heat had messed with his brain.

"Well, yeah! I mean I'm soaked with sweat, and we can't get out, and I'm starving!" She huffed.

"No, you're uncomfortable because I make you so." Bailey didn't want to atmit it, but he was right.

"Of course not! You'd just like to think that." She growled, raising an eyebrow, "I'm dating you're brother remember?"

"That dosen't mean you don't like other guys." Bailey reguarded him with cold eyes, not answering. Was he right? No, she was loyal to Cody. They were going to grow up one day and have wonderful braniac kids and live in a nice simple place with everything perfect. But a life with Zach- defintatly adventure. Perefect would be lost, but nothing would ever be boring. Their kids would be street smart and book smart...what life did she really want?

Zach broke her out of her thoughts when he was unbuttoning his shirt.

"What are you doing?" Her voice raised an octave. His grin was sly.

"Okay first off- you said you didn't like me like that, so this shouldn't affect you in any way. Second- you took you're shirt off and you had the right idea, I'm burning here!" He discarded his shirt, letting out a sigh of relief, "So much better."

Bailey felt herself getting hotter than she already was, as she looked at his chisled chest. She couldn't tear her eyes away.

"Like what you see?" Zach sniggered. Bailey looked away.

"Dosen't phase me." She said as calmly as she could, shrugging her shoulders.

"Mh-hmm." His voice was skeptical, "So because I'm a little woozy, you don't mind me doing this?" He leanded against her once again, and put his arm around her. Where his flesh met hers, tiny forest fires exploded all over her skin.

"Sure, if that's what you need to do." Bailey licked her lips, surprised that it didn't make her chapped lips bleed even more. Zach watched her, his blue eyes flashing.

"Chapped lips?" He said.

"I wish I'd brought a chapstick or lipgloss." Bailey said with a sigh, "I wish a lot of things." She added quieter. Zach didn't hear the last part.

"Maybe this will help?" He said. Bailey didn't even have time to process what he meant, much less what he was doing until it was too late. His lips crashed against hers, sending bolts of electricity up and down her body.

"I can't..." She said, trying to break away, "Cody..." But even she didn't really want it to end. Zach, if she had been sincere would have stopped, but she knew her attempts we half-hearted.

"Stop worring for once." He said, his lips inches away from hers, "And just let you're instincts take over." It was easy to do that, she soon figured out, as he kissed her softly again. Her entire mind went blank. All she could think was she needed Zach. Not Cody- he was, in fact, no where in her mind. Just Zach and his gentle kisses.

Before she knew it, she was full on making out- something she had never experienced with Cody. He was too protective, and didn't really let them kiss much. But this? This was like something she never knew existed. A magical world of secerets and feeling she thought she never could possibly feel. Zach, in mid kiss, turned to face her more, and his arms snaked around her neck, pushing her closer against him.

Her fingers locked in his hair, like she never wanted to let go. His tounge trace the outline of her lips, and she let out a small grunt of pleasure. She felt him grinning as he took her mouth lip and chewed on it softly. She kissed him deeply, and he feel back against the ground.

They kissed passonaitly for maybe ten minuets, and in that time she had her first french kiss. And her second and third, and fourth...fifth, sixth, seventh...well she had a lot. She forgot how hot it was, other than the warmth of Zach, or that she was hungry or even that she was thirsty. Zach was literally the only think she could think of, unlike when she kissed Cody. When they finally broke apart, they were both breathing like than had run miles and miles, sweating a lot more than before.

"Wow..." Was all Bailey could murmur, "is it just me or is it even hotter in here?"

Zach ran his fingers through his hair, "Are you sure you've never done that, Bailey?" He laughed. Bailey grinned softly.

"What did we just do?" She asked, her head becoming clear.

Zach shrugged, "I think...I think we just maybe made magic happen." Bailey punched him, but it was weak.

"No seriously...I mean, that was wrong on so many levels!" Bailey began to worry, "I hope no one saw that."

"Don't worry!" He said, and then he noticed Bailey's expression, "Come here." He said, motioning for her to come. She paused, looking at him hesitantly, but then scootted over by him. She snuggled up against his chest, his arms wrapped protectivly around her body body. He laughed a bit.

"What?" She asked.

"You just kissed me, and you knew it was wrong. But then you willingly agrred to come and lay against me. I don't know, Bailey, but I think it's time you try dating someone else." He raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah, but with my ex-boy friend's brother? Isn't that breaking a boy's code and a brother's code?" She asked.

"I don't follow the rules, you know that." Zach's laugh rumbled in his chest, making Bailey's heart flutter.

"What will we tell Cody though?" She asked, her voice small. She wondered if he'd woken up...and then fainted again. Zach paused, and he seemed to be thinking for once in his life.

"I say...we take each day as it comes. We'll figure out a way to tell him...eventually. I know my brother, and I'll break it to him, if you don't want to."

"No, I will. That would be crappy- hear from someone else." Bailey pointed out.

"I guess. I've never really had a steady girlfriend." Zach atmitted, "I'm kind of new to steady relationship thing."

"And I'm new to dating like this. We can teach each other." She linked her fingers with his. He squeezed.

"Learning...sounds boring. But," He grinnned that lopsided grin she'd always loved, "For you, I think I'll be able to handle it."

She yawned, "I'm exausted." She breathed. Zach nodded.

"Go to sleep, then...I will too. It will pass the time." He lay down, with his shirt as a pillow, and Bailey on his chest. He coudln't help but think this was the best thing, even under the circumstances, that had ever happened to him.

Try as she might, though, Bailey couldn't fall asleep. Zach lay awake as well, his eyes wide open.

"Bailey...are you awake?" He whispered. She nodded, and he sighed.

"Im afraid..." She said honestly, "That...that we'll never wake up. This heat...it's going to take it's toll eventually!" She cried, shuddering.

"That's a bit intense, Bailey." He said, although he shared her fear.

"We coudln't get out, even if we wanted to!" She said, and then turned, "We're just as good as dead."

"No!" He snarled, he couldn't stand the idea of death, much less this way. He got up.

"What are you doing?" Bailey asked, as he started opening drawers.

"There has to be some kind of something in here!" Zach said, and then grinned, "Look!" He pulled out a dusty old wattle bottle. The water looked tinted slightly, but Bailey never thirsted for anything more in her life.

"Water?" She said hopefully.

"Yes, and hopefully with this we can divide it between us to keep us alive while we escape." He said.

"There is no way to escape, Zach..." Bailey said quietly.

"I've studied the ship's design over and over agian, and I just realized I know a way out!" He said excitedly, and shoved the water bottle at Bailey. She immideatly divided the water into six parts by scoring lines with a dirty pencil she found on the ground. She looked up to find Zach pushing back a large shelf out of the way. Behind it, a door.

"Zach! What's that?" Bailey asked.

"Behind-behind the scenes doorway sized venting systems." Zach explained, "Goes all around the ship."

"Zach!" Bailey put her arms around him and kissed him on the cheek. He blushed red.

"It's nuthin'." He muttered with a side ways grin. He rammed his figures underneathe the door and pulled. It swung open oviousley easier than he expected.

"Come one, let's go get the others. First....drink the first part of water." He said. Bailey didn't usually like when other people took charge, but today she wouldn't have it any other way.

She drank up. Normally, she would have spat out the water, trying to get the vile taste out her mouth. But it tasted like liquid sunshine and happiness. Her head felt much less crowed, and her body felt almost rewnewed. She drank carefully though, not going past her mark. She gave it to Zach and he did the same. She was proud of his sharing, not drinking it all on the spot like she had been tempted to do.

"Let's tell the others." He said.

They came into the room...Cody was sill passed out, but now he looked much more peaceful- curled up into a ball, breathing lightly under the controls. Marcus was sitting in the corner, but he looked weary. London was asleep on the ground, looking as if she was sleeping in a five-star hotel. Kirby was still in the same position he was before.

"Wake them up, give them water." Zach said. Cody woke up easily, as did Kirby. London was unsually weak for looking so relaxed and Marcus...he wasnt' doing so well. Bailey could tell he was spiking a fever and he seemed to be hallucinating.

It maybe a minuet or two explain about the door and hand out the water...but they only gave a little to Marcus, who barfed it back up.

"Okay, Kirby- can you carry Marcus?" He asked.

"Sure, I'd do anything to get outta here." He said, and easily slung Marcus over his shoulder like a bag of potatoes, "So he don't barf on me." He explained.

"Good...Cody?" Zach asked, "Could you help London?" Cody, who was putting the disguises and laptop in his backpack, nodded.

"Yeah." He agreed. He carefully helped London up and started leading her to the door. The order went Kirby in the front with Marcus, London with Cody helping her along. Then Zach, and Bailey.

"Drink this." he handed the last bit of water to Bailey.

"You should have it- or....or Cody." She sounded quiet.

"Please, Bailey- we've all suffered heat, but I don't want you to get hurt please." He gave her the water. She shifted hers and Zach's shirt under her arm- they hadn't put it back on yet. She drank it all, smiling at him with gratidute. They were seconds behind the others.

The light became dimmer and dimmer as they traveled on. Kirby said he also knew where he was going. The air was cool in the vent. It felt so gratifying. But everytime Zach brushed against Bailey, her skin felt like it was on fire.

And when Zach feel back to entertwine his fingers with hers, and when he gently kissed her on the lips, she was glad it was dark so Cody and no one else would see.

And when Zach's second kiss was more passionate, she felt her whole body catch fire.

"Is it getting hot in here?"

Yeah! Zailey! If you want to see more, eventually, Zailey- or just you like my writing or heck you wanna read a story look up SOS: Save our Sonny!!!!!! It's my other story, yeah! But, I like this little one shot- it's nice. Tell me what u think!
