Six hours had gone by in each other's lives for Maddie and London. London is working at the candy counter, or sleeping in other words, when Maddie comes in, and walks towards London.
"Hey London, how's life?? Tiring??"
"Yes, what…oh I mean no, still wide awake, wait, what times is it???"questioned London, "Oh, need to go pick up your Grandma in 10 minutes, phew!!"
"Well, I've just taken Ivana to her yoga class, London, I don't know why you keep saying your life is tiring, it's way more relaxing than mine, anyways, I've got to go now, getting my nails done, bye London!!" and without another word, Maddie left London to carry on with her shift at the candy counter.
Two hours later London, who is half asleep, is about to start her late night shift at the candy counter when Esteban comes up to her and says "Miss London, why are you wearing Maddie's clothes??"
"Well me and Maddie had a bet about who could last the longest in each other's lives!"
"Oh, so who's winning??"
"I don't know, but I'm going to prove to Maddie that her life is easier than mine, no matter how tiring it is" London replied while yawning away.
"But that's a bit unfair comparing your life to Maddie'. Maddie wakes up at 6am everyday to start her homework, starts her shift at the candy counter at 8:30am, then runs to school without even having breakfast, goes to the Cluck bucket and works her shift there, then comes back to do an hour of homework before starting her other shift here, and whenever she has time, she goes down to the old people's home to help out with charity work. Even though she does so much work, she gets very little pay as well"
The only word London managed to let out was "Oh!"
She never realised Maddie had such a hard life, and how she managed to cope with it all too. She suddenly felt guilty about the bet, and how she had always treated Maddie as her servant just because she was a Tipton.
She needed to find Maddie, but as soon as her shift ended.
Maddie, who had just come back from her manicure, and picking up Ivana from her yoga class, was walking in the hallways back to her room when she spotted Zack.
"Hey sweet thang!!" shouted Zack.
"Hi Zack!"
"Uh, you do realise that your holding Ivana, London's dog, right?"
"Yep, me and London had a bet about who could last the longest in each other's lives, but I think I'm winning!!"
"I know you think London's life is easy being rich and that, but even she goes through a lot."
"Like what??" asked a surprised Maddie.
"Well, every time Mr Tipton sends messages to Mr Moesby telling him that he will be able to come to special events, something always comes up so London doesn't get to see her dad at all, and London doesn't have a proper family, her dad keeps remarrying which means she doesn't even have a proper mum. She only brags about trips and her wealth because that's all she has, she doesn't have anything else, no friends, no family, nothing, apart from money!"
"Oh…"
Maddie couldn't believe it. She thought London was a rich show-off who was only well known because of her dad, but it turned out that London was going through a lot, and it made her rethink about the bet they made earlier on.
