The Tipton Titanic

Chapter 1: The Beginning of an Adventure

The loud foghorn blew, signaling the undocking of the Tipton Titanic. Families lined up at the dock to wave goodbye to their children who were studying abroad this fine ship.

"Bye guys! Have fun! I'll miss you! Love you!" shouted Carey Martin, mother of twin Zack and Cody

"Bye mom!" The boys shouted back

Bailey Pickett, a young girl from a small town in Kansas, was particularly upset about the departure.

"Bye mom! Bye dad! I promise I'll send postcards and letters!" She shouted tearfully

"Bye sweetie! We love you!" They shouted back.

Before they knew it the boat was too far away from the dock to hear their family and they were off on a seemingly great adventure.

"This is going to be so fun! A cruise ship full of young girls and no parents!" said the young Zachary Martin, a suave Casanova

"Zack, we have to be responsible. After all we were sent here to study abroad not look at girls and slack off." Replied Cody, the smart, mature twin.

"Oh, don't worry I am going to be studying a-broad, particularly that pretty blonde one over there!" Zack snickered

Cody rolled his eyes and walked away. There was no helping his brother.

"Boys." said a stern voice from behind.

Zack and Cody turned around to see Mr. Moseby, the Tipton Titanic Manager.

"Hey There Mr. Moseby!" The boys said in unison

The boys knew Mr. Moseby as the hotel manager at the Tipton Hotel where they used to live.

"Your parents sent you two to do schooling abroad this ship. I expect to see more responsibility now that you are nearing adulthood." He said

The ship manager reached into pocket to pull out some plastic credit card looking objects.

"I have here your student cash cards that are only to be used for school and food. They are not to be used foolishly." He said focusing mainly on Zack

"I also have your room keys. Here on The Tipton Titanic, boys, and girls, for good reason, will be boarding on separate floors. It may interest you to know that the both of you will not be roommates." The ship manager said

"Really! Awesome!" Zack said

"Yes, finally my own room!" said Cody gleefully

"Ah! not so fast. You will have roommates just not each other. Cody you will be roommates with Mr. Woody Fink, and Zack well we don't have a roommate for you yet."

"Alright! My own room for once in my life!" said Zack, who was filled with excitement.

The two boys made it to their rooms, which were conveniently right across the hall from each other.

"I still can't believe after all these years we get separate rooms, but I still have to share mine."

"Relax, Codester. It will be like I never left."

To Cody's dismay, his brother was right.

Cody walked into his room to find a rather overweight boy with afro like hair and glasses, standing in the bathroom doorway.

"Hi! I'm Woody! Just to let you know I would not go in the bathroom for a little while."

Cody did not have to go into the bathroom to smell the stench that the other boy released.
