Who’s Your Favorite Now?

A/N: When the Cheetah Girls were on Suite Life, I thought this would be cute. Especially when Zack and Keily looked all cuddly and happy for those brief two seconds, lol. But anyway, read and review! :D (P.S-I was thinking of turning this into a story. What about you?)

“March.” Carrie Martin ordered her sons out of the room.

“Um, I’ll be getting Chris Brown’s autogra-“

“March.”

Moseby sulked as he walked out the room, Carrie following him. There was a moment’s silence as the celebrities looked at other, speechless after the screaming they had just heard.

“That’s the maddest I’ve ever seen Carrie,” Maddie spoke out.

“Not me,” London said simply, putting a hand to her hip. “You should’ve seen her when she saw Muriel trying to fit on her blouse, speaking of which, wasn’t very pretty at all.”

“Now that I think about it, it was kinda funny,” Adrienne Bailon said and the others began to smile.

“Especially that part where she was talking about the black hole,” Chris Brown said with a snort. “I was ‘bout to laugh right then and there.”

They began to talk more on this subject. Sabrina Bryant was listening for a while before she discovered her fellow cheetah girl Keily Williams looking peeved. “What’s wrong, Kee?”

Keily let out an exasperated sigh. “I’m still mad at Zack. He told me I was his favorite and he said the same thing to you and Adrienne.”

“So you’re jealous?” Sabrina teased.

Keily glared at her.

“Just kidding,” Sabrina added quickly. “But from the looks of it, that little man loves girls. Besides, he said that you were his favorite first, and he even hugged you.”

“Oh yeah,” said Keily as she recounted all of that.

“So…if you want to you know, get even with him, make him wish he’d only said it to you,” Sabrina told her with a sly smile.

Keily raised her eyebrows sneakily, knowing exactly what she was going to do to that little blonde flirt. “He’ll be begging me when I’m done with him.”

“Go cheetah!” Sabrina cheered her on as Keily turned and left the room. She looked down the hallway just in time to see, and hear, Carrie still snapping at her sons, who were looking very embarrassed. Keily strutted down the hallway, trying to look as normal as she could.

“…I cannot believe you two thought you could get away with this!” Carrie fumed, so angry that she didn’t see Keily coming or noticed her sons looking in her direction. “Do you have any idea how much I trust you right now? I-“

“Um, excuse me.” Keily struggled to remember the woman’s name. “…Carrie, right?”

“Yes?” All trace of anger in Carrie’s voice went away as she looked at Keily curiously.

“I was wondering if I could see Zack for a moment,” Keily offered, looking as innocent as she could. “The cheetahs and I want to thank him for inviting us to the show.”

Cody’s mouth dropped open. “But he didn’t-“he tried to object but Zack threw his hand over his brother’s mouth.

“I’m sorry, but Zack is now in trouble and therefore cannot see anyone, not even his own face,” Carrie said bitterly.

“Oh…well okay then,” Keily said with a simple shrug, stepping into the now open elevator. “I’m headed down to the lobby, hope you don’t mind.”

“Not at all,” said Carrie, stepping in after her. “I’ll just save the boys an earful before we get on our floor.”

Cody and Zack gave Keily looks of gratitude. She winked at them in return. Zack shoved Cody out of the way and took the position next to the cheetah girl, nudging her with an elbow. Keily just rolled her eyes at him and looked away. She stifled a laugh as she saw Zack’s mouth drop open in surprise. He obviously wasn’t denied by a lady often.

As soon as the elevator stopped on their floor, Carrie kept her word by continuing her rant, leading the way to the room as Cody and Zack began to trudge behind her. Then, just like Keily thought, Zach stopped in his tracks, looked on for a second before stepping back and turning right back into the elevator.

“So what’s up baby?” he said to her smoothly, coming closer as the elevator doors closed.

“Baby?” Keily questioned, raising her eyebrows. “And shouldn’t you be with your mother before she blows her top on you again?”

Zack waved a careless hand. “I think talking to you is worth another lecture.”

Keily almost let out an awwww but instead she bit her lip and scoffed. “Disregarding your mother. That’s not cool.”

“It’s my typical behavior,” Zack said with a shrug. “So what you headed down for the main lobby for?”

“So that I could give that guy Chris Brown’s autograph,” Keily lied.

“You mean Moseby? He’s still up there on the floor. He turned around when mom wasn’t looking and hid until we got into the elevator,” Zack explained.

Keily’s mouth dropped open slightly. “Ohhhhh…” she let out a little too nervously.

“Yeah, and plus, you don’t have the autograph in your hand,” Zack pointed out.

“I…I was gonna get Moseby and bring him back up,” Keily said quickly.

Zack looked at her for a moment before turning away and hitting the stop button on the elevator. It came to a squeaky halt.

“Keily, honey, as a master of lying, I can easily see that you are,” he told her. “What are you really doing on the elevator?”

Keily almost grinned as Zack fell into her trap. Now it was time for her next plan. She crossed her arms. “What’s it to you?”

“You did say to my mother that you wanted to see me…or was that a lie?” Zack raised his eyebrows.

Keily looked at her nails. “I don’t recall.”

“But like I said earlier, you’re my favorite,” Zack replied, grinning at her as he edged even closer to her.

Keily rolled her eyes. “So were Adrienne and Sabrina.”

Zack’s face dropped. “Oh, you heard that?” he slowly began to smile again. “Yeah…but to be honest with you, I prefer Adrienne…I always did dig chicks that spoke Spanish.”

“Oh,” Keily nodded. “I see. So you prefer Adrienne.” She faked a sigh. “Too bad.”

“Too bad what?” Zack asked curiously.

“See, I thought I was your favorite,” Keily explained. “So I was just gonna tell you that maybe we should go out some time. Actually, that’s a lie, I might as well tell you all of it now. See, I was gonna grab you like this…” She grabbed his arm gently, pulling him so that his body was up against hers. “…and then I was gonna move closer to you…” She moved her face closer so that her nose rubbed up against his, trying hard not to laugh at the priceless look on Zack’s face.

“Maybe tease you a little, you know the works…” she traced her finger gently down the side of his face, letting it glide down his neck and chest, making him shudder gently.

“…and then…”

“Then?” Zack asked, his voice turning into a hushed whisper as he began to fall into her temptation.

“…then…” Keily watched as Zack slowly started to lean in, and just when his lips were an inch away from hers, she pulled back, raising her eyebrows. “I assume you know what would happen next.”

She ignored his heavily disappointed look to reach over and hit the elevator button, stealthily pressing Zack’s floor without him noticing. “We would’ve had fun Zack,” she went on to say, turning back to him. “We would’ve went to the movies, to the beach…it’s been a while since I wore my bikini and trust me, I don’t just wear that for any one,” she added matter-of-factly.

Zack bit his lip. “Keily…”

“And to think of our cuddle moments,” Keily stated wonderingly as she put a thoughtful finger to her chin.

“Keily…”

“Not to mention the major popularity boost when you go back to school,” Keily added as she crossed her arms and gave Zack her best look of attitude. “But hey, it’s your loss I guess.”

“KEILY!”

Keily jumped by his sudden outburst and the next thing she knew, Zack had grabbed her shoulders and jerked her forward for a sweet, mouth-watering kiss. Keily couldn’t hold back her smile any longer as she pulled back enough so that their noses were touching. She reached for his hand and slipped a small piece of paper into it.

“Now who’s your favorite?” Keily teased.

Zack gave her a sly smile. “You.”

“Good.” The elevator halted to a complete stop, making a small ‘ding!’ Keily leaned forward and gave him one more brief smooch as the elevator doors opened and she pushed him out gently.

“This isn’t a prank, is it?” Zack asked, looking slightly suspicious. “This isn’t some old lady’s number, or some dude in Australia?”

“Call it and see,” Keily told him, blowing him a small kiss before the elevator doors closed. She thought she heard loud whooping and cheering as the elevator began to take her back up to the floor she came from. As soon as the doors opened up, Sabrina was a few inches away, waiting for her. A smile came to her face when she saw Keily.

“How long did it take?” she asked.

“Almost instantly,” Keily said with a giggle. “He ditched his mom to run back on the elevator and catch me.”

Sabrina giggled with her girlfriend. Keily felt her LG Chocolate vibrating in her pocket. As she looked across the front, she saw a foreign number. She knew exactly who it was. She winked at Sabrina as she pushed it up and put it against her ear.

“Now do you believe me?” she said.

She heard a distant “yes!” away from the phone. “I can’t believe this, I’m actually going out with a cheetah girl,” came Zack’s excited voice.

“Uh, not yet,” Keily corrected him, “but maybe you will.”

“Oh I know I will,” Zack boasted. “But I have to go, my mom doesn’t know I snuck in and I hear her coming-“

“ZACK MARTIN!” the voice was so explosive that Keily had to hold it away from her ear, and Sabrina gave her a look of surprise.

“Bye!” then there was a click. Keily shook her head as she put her phone away.

“I’m glad that’s not my mom,” Sabrina muttered.

Keily nodded in agreement, as they turned and headed back to London’s web show.
