It was Friday December 23rd, 2011. It was just two days before Christmas Day. Snow gently fell on the Tipton Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts. The Tipton employees were busy decorating the lobby. Esteban was walking around the lobby to make sure that everyone was decorating the lobby accordingly. He nodded with satisfaction at the employees who were putting up the decorations correctly, which was every single employee.

Esteban was proud of himself to do such a fine job of taking charge after Mr. Moseby had left the Tipton to be the manager of the S.S. Tipton. Esteban had heard from other employees that Mr. Moseby had done his job and was no longer working for Mr. Tipton anymore and that he was happily engaged to a nice woman named Emma Tutweiller. He wished that Mr. Moseby would come to visit the Tipton for Christmas with Miss Tutweiller. He also wished to see Maddie come visit the Tipton as well.

Esteban did not have to be too much of a downer since he knew that Zack and Cody would be back for Christmas with their friends from the S. S. Tipton. Cody had told him that Woody, Addison and Bailey all would be coming to visit with the financial aid of Miss London Tipton. Esteban was just so excited to see all his friends again and was hopeful that he could enjoy his Christmas holiday with his good friends and with his lovely Francesca. His mama couldn't come for the holiday but was fine back at their home village playing her guitar to the village children and youth.

It took the employees a good two hours to have successfully put up every Christmas decoration. Esteban was very impressed on how the lobby looked. It was beautiful with tinsel glittering on the railing with ornaments shining and paper snowflakes hanging from the ceiling. Silver glitter was lightly sprinkled on the white paper snowflakes. The ornaments were gold, silver, green, red and white. All of them possessed intercut and dazzling details and patterns such as winter themed motifs and symbols. Everything simply glistened in the dimming sunlight as the sun went down on a short winter's day. It was getting dark and snow continued to fall down ever so gently on the ground.

As the snow fell, a crashing sound could be heard that was followed by a thud and a moan. Esteban sighed as he knew exactly who must have fallen at such a time. Lo and behold to Esteban, Arwin stumbled up to his feet and walked out to the lobby from his office and approached Esteban.

"Hi, Esteban. Are you ready for Christmas?"

"Yes, I am. What did you do to make that noise?"

"Oh, I was just being clumsy. I just slipped on a banana peel. No harm done."

"Are you sure that you're okay?"

"Yeah. I'm sure. I'm fine."

"Okay. Arwin, do you know if Mr. Moseby will be visiting the Tipton for Christmas?"

"Yeah. Mr. Moseby told me a few weeks ago that he was planning to visit the Tipton for Christmas with his fiancée, Miss Tutweiller."

"Have you met her?"

"No. But I did see her at the graduation ceremony."

"Oh. When the two come in?"

"I think that they were planning to check in the hotel today."

"What time did Mr. Moseby say when they would check in?"

"By five"

"It's almost five."

"Well they should be coming through those doors right about now. Why don't we go over there to be ready to greet them?"

"You're right, Arwin. We will greet Mr. Moseby and Miss Tutweiller."

Arwin and Esteban walked over to the ramp and walked up to the front doors. They stood off to the side in anticipation as they waited for the arrival of Mr. Moseby and Miss Tutweiller. Luckily for them, it didn't take long for them to wait as they heard a familiar voice through the glass doors just a minute after they stood at the side. Once the two awaited figures entered the Tipton, Esteban and Arwin gave Mr. Moseby and Miss Tutweiller wide smiles. They greeted the two and helped get them a room and have their luggage sent up with the new bell hop boy. When Miss Tutweiller had the chance, she looked around the lobby was in awe that Mr. Moseby used to work as manager for such a beautiful hotel. Esteban smiled at the happy couple.

"Hello, Mr. Moseby."

"Hello, Esteban. It's nice to see you again. How are you?"

"I am fine. It's so good to see you Mr. Moseby."

"Well, thank you, Esteban, I would like to introduce you to Emma. She was the main teacher and the principle of Seven Seas High. Although Zack and Cody and their friends knew her as Miss Tutweiller."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Tutweiller."

"It's nice to meet you too, Esteban. I've heard about you from Marion."

"Oh, how delightful. Mr. Moseby, you like me enough to talk about me. Oh what a wonderful day. Come you two, I will have a bell hop take your luggage and bring you to you room."

"That it is very kind of you, Esteban."

"Thank you, Miss Tutweiller."

Esteban has a bell hop take Mr. Moseby and Miss Tutweiller's luggage and show them their room. Consequently, their room was directly above the Martin family's suite. Luckily for both Mr. Moseby and Miss Tutweiller they could unpack their luggage peacefully since none of the members of the Martin family was occupying their family suite so that meant that there no noise emitting from the room below their room. Once Mr. Moseby and Miss Tutweiller were done unpacking, they sat down on the couch. Miss Tutweiller looked over to Mr. Moseby's direction.

"Marion?"

"Yes, Emma?"

"Doesn't it feel weird for you to be checking-in as a guest at the Tipton Hotel instead of being its manager?"

"You know, Emma, the more that I think about the more I realize that it may be weird at first but then I think how nice it will be to be a guest for a change."

"I guess you're right. I mean, only you know how to feel to a guest for the Tipton instead of being the manager."

"You're right, Emma. I do know what I feel. But I just want to enjoy my visit her at the Tipton with you."

"Oh, Marion."

"Emma."

Mr. Moseby and Miss Tutweiller leaned in and gave each other a gentle kiss on the lips. The kiss was short and sweet but just enough for the two adults to express what they were feeling at the moment. It didn't last very long, maybe just thirty seconds. They pulled away from each other and stared one another's eyes. They were content in each other's presence as they easily relaxed back into the soft cushions of the couch and cuddled close to each other.
