"Wait a minute." Zack remarked. "I was bored and reading the student handbook, and I saw that we have a chance to appeal all suspensions and expulsions."

Mr. Moseby sighed. I don't think that he was expecting that.

"Fine your appeal will be granted." Mr. Moseby replied. "But let me tell you that the chance of you winning said appeal is excruciatingly slim. I also need to inform that neither of you are allowed to attend classes or sleep in the students' cabins while during the appeal process."

Mr. Moseby walked away leaving both Cody and Marcus. I made sure to give the two of them a dirty look and raised my middle finger before Zack and I left. I don't know where we supposed to sleep before I realized something. I took Zack to Jessica's room and knocked on the door.

Jessica was wearing a nightdress. She looked like she had been sleeping.

"What's going on?" She asked sleepily.

"Zack and I just got kicked out of our room." I explained. "We need a place to sleep tonight."

"You're not going to be shagging, are you?" Jess asked.

"No." I responded. At that point she let us in. I was thankful that she had an extra bed. We were both tired and fell asleep rather quickly. We had already had our fake honeymoon sex anyway.

In the morning, Zack, Jessica, and I were all more awake. We explained our situation to the model and also let her give her insight. I don't know if it would be useful but I would appreciate anything useful because I don't think being expelled would look good on uni applications.

"So do you have any suggestions?" I asked, because I don't think Zack had any beyond the appeal. We had to state a strong argument to win the appeal.

"Well remember that joke about how you were engaged?" Jessica asked. I did but I failed to see how it raised any significance.

"Where are you going with this?" I questioned.

"Well perhaps you could say that you really were engaged." Jessica suggested. "However, I think the only way that you could win the appeal would be to actually get married before the appeal."

"So we really have to get married?" Zack asked in disbelief. "I don't know if I am ready for that. Plus where are we supposed to get married anyway? We're not exactly adults here."

"Well if we don't get married, we'll both be kicked off the ship and I assume that you don't want that." I countered. "However, I also don't know where we can get married. It might be a little difficult to find someone who is willing to marry us."

"Well our next stop is the nation of Liechtenstamp." Jessica explained. "I know for a fact that you only have to be 16 to get married there. You would just have to find a priest willing to do it. You really won't have time to plan it but maybe you could have a real wedding later."

"Do you really think that will work?" I asked.

"I'm not sure but it's probably your best hope which is why you should do it." Jessica suggested. "We arrive there tomorrow and you'll have to be fast."

"Well I guess considering that I already proposed, I don't have to do it again." Zack remarked. "Still I wish I did have a ring to give you if we're really doing this."

"Well this was also included." Jessica replied as she went into her basket and pulled out a ring with a blue green gemstone. "It's aquamarine, not diamond but it should work."

"Thank you." I replied as Zack took the ring and slid it on my finger. It looked beautiful. "Jessica, even though we don't know each other very well, I would really appreciate it if you were my maid of honor."

"It would be an honor." Jessica replied. "But I am going to pass. I don't want to be a burden. I've already done enough. I kind of wish that I hadn't helped Cody out. I had no idea what he was after. I'm terribly sorry for what happened because of it."

"What did you tell him?" I asked cautiously.

"I may have let it slip that the two of had had sex." She admitted. "Again, I didn't know that was trying to uncover some big secret."

"Wow." Zack commented.

"I should use my tip money to pay for the marriage." I said.

Zack and I were also sacked, so we didn't have to work. I wanted to take some time to myself to think. That involved a trip to the sauna, alone. By this time tomorrow, I would probably be married. I still had a lot of questions and most of them didn't have to do with my missing memories. Most of them involved my real parents. Mum and Dad only gave me a little bit of information but who were the Wiltshires? I really wanted to find out.

The students of Seven Seas High kept me giving me dirty looks as I walked the various decks. They probably did think that I was a tart for shacking up with Zack. The only one who showed me any support was Addison. That I was grateful for. I was glad that I had friends like her and Jessica who didn't judge me like everyone else did. I found it really nice that Addison practiced what she preached when it came to discrimination.

The trip to Liechtenstamp was an interesting one. As it turned out, most of the passengers would be attending the Royal Ball. I think that would give us enough time to sneak off and get married. I know that this may not be enough to make it so we can stay on the ship, but whether we can or not, I still want to do it. I still want to be Zack's wife. I don't care that people say that the younger you are when get married, the more likely you'll get divorced.

It turned out that Liechtenstamp was kind of cold this time of year so Zack and I had to bundle up a little before we went to the chapel. I really hoped that someone would marry us. We went inside holding each other's hands.

So Liechtenstamp apparently doesn't really have its own accent. Instead the residents all sound American for some reason. I don't know why that is. There was no line all we had to do was pay a small fee to get married. I smiled because this was actually happening.

We waited at the altar for the priest to show up. I wasn't exactly the most religious person but I guess a religious wedding was okay. They had supplied me with a white dress and veil and Zack with a tuxedo. He looked a little funny in it, I admit but he also looked hot.

There made us repeat several things that were basically part of the whole marriage creed. We didn't have anyone supporting us but we did actually have to have some cake that honestly wasn't very good and were also required to dance with another. However, everything was official. I was now Bailey Nicole Martin, my third different name.

The next day, our appeal was set. We were going to be seated before a table of Mr. Moseby, Miss Tutweiller, and London, who was sitting in because her father couldn't be there. I honestly don't think he wanted to be.

"Now before we begin, do you two have anything to say for yourselves, other than possible reasons for doing what you did?" Mr. Moseby asked. I think he was looking for an apology. I was not going to apologize. It wasn't going to happen.

"No." I replied.

"What about you, Zack?" Moseby asked.

"No." Zack replied.

"Okay then you are appealing your expulsion from Seven Seas High on the grounds of a major violation of housing rules." Moseby explained. "You will now be given an amount of time to state your case."

"Well, we don't really have a legitimate reason for doing this." I stated. "That is except for the fact that the two of us were engaged."

"I don't believe hearing any of that from Marcus." Mr. Moseby replied.

"It was just an assignment, you two." Miss Tutweiller added. "You can't use that as an excuse."

"Well actually we were engaged before that." Zack responded. "We just didn't want to tell anyone until the wedding."

"Why are you using the past tense?" Mr. Moseby asked. "Are you trying to say that you are no longer engaged?"

"That is correct." I confirmed. Zack and I show him the rings upon our hands. "As of last night, the two of us are officially married."

"Aww that's so sweet." London replied. "So if you two are married, then why are we here?"

"London, there was still a serious offense." Mr. Moseby tried to sway her.

"Not really." London argued. "I was distinctly told that all married or engaged to married couples are allowed to share a suite. This would actually mean that you would have broken the rules by moving Marcus into their cabin. I need to tell Daddy this."

"Now London, there's no need for that." Mr. Moseby replied hastily. I kind of wanted to laugh at this, even though that would be completely inappropriate.

"It looks like we are done here." Miss Tutweiller remarked, probably fearing for her own job as well. "Your expulsion from Seven Seas High has been officially overturned."

"Thank you." I replied. "However, at this moment, I would like to voluntarily withdraw myself from the school."

"Why?" Miss Tutweiller asked.

"I want to go to England to find out what I can about my parents." I replied. "I was hoping that my husband would do the same."

"What would be doing?" Zack asked.

"We need to go to London and find out what we can about my family." I explained. "It won't be easy but I don't want to do this alone."

"What kind of husband would I be if I didn't stick by you?" He asked. "I am also dropping out."

So we ended up taking a separate boat to London. I don't know what was about to happen but as long as I had Zack by my side, I would be okay.

The End

So that is the end of the story. I bet it was an unexpected twist for them to voluntarily leave. I am thinking of a possible sequel at this time but it probably wouldn't be posted for a while. Thanks for reading and don't forget to review
