You and Me Against the World: Roomies: Part 1

S.S Tipton-New York City

Everything was peaceful on board the SS Tipton, and the manager, Marion Moesby loved peace. No annoying kids running around, no complaining passengers, no Zack and Cody ruining everything. He looked out over the deck and smiled. "What a beautiful day." Moesby said to himself before a familiar voice came screeching into the lobby.

"MOESBY!" That voice belonged to London Tipton. Moesby frowned as he knew his peace was short lived.

"Or at least it was." Moesby said, going back into the lobby to find a seriously miffed London.

"You and I need to talk, right now!" London said, her face fuming.

"OK, but since you're here, I want to tell you something first, and-" Moesby tried to say before being cut off by the rich girl.

"NO! You are gonna listen to me for once and you will not interrupt, or I'll make sure the next job you'll hold is scraping bird poop off the Tipton Hotel!" London said. Moesby cringed and nodded at that. Anything was better than scarping bird feces from a 3 story building. "I can't take it anymore! I hate sharing a room with Bailey! She's always annoying me with her chicken alarm clock, country songs, and just plain bad fashion sense!"

"About that-"

"WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT INTERRUPTING?!" London bellowed out, causing Moesby to tremble a little. "I want to move out of there! And you are gonna make it happen! If you can't, I'll just keep running away from this stupid boat and stupid sea school."

Moesby got over his terror from earlier and said to London, "You done?" London nodded at that. "Well, I have some good news that'll cheer you up. You'll no longer be sharing a room with Bailey."

London gasped in surprise. "You're kicking her out of there?! YAY ME!" London cheered, clapping her hands excitedly.

"No. You've been reassigned rooms. You'll be moving out of there." Moesby said.

"That's even better! I just hope that my new room will have more closet space." London said. One of the downsides of sharing a room was not having enough space for her designer clothes.

"Well, closet space aside, you'll still have to have a roommate. And a new one will be assigned to you." Moesby informed, causing the rich girl to groan. "Now, I know. You don't want to share a room. But, think of this as an opportunity to make new a friend. And who knows? Maybe you and your new roommate will like the same things."

London smiled a little at that. "Yeah, you make a good point. Sort of." London said. "Well, better get packing then." London then left the lobby to go pack her stuff, happy that she didn't have to share a room with her Kansas roommate anymore.

Back in the air, Kim was staring out the plane window, excited over the new adventures she and her friends would have once they get on board the SS Tipton. She then turned her head around and smiled at the cute sight in front of her: Ron sleeping. "Hey baby..." Kim whispered, nudging Ron on the shoulder lightly, waking him up with a smile.

"Are we there yet?" Ron asked, shaking the sleepiness from his voice.

"Almost. Just a few minutes." Kim said with a smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we'll be making our descent to New York in just a few. Please fasten your seat belts and return all tray tables in their upright position." A flight attendant announced over the plane speakers.

Meanwhile, back on board the S.S Tipton, Zack Martin was about to show his friend, Woody Fink, the coolest sight any teen could possibly imagine. Something that his smarter twin brother, Cody Martin, wouldn't give even a chance to appreciate. "Close your eyes..." Zack said. Woody did just that while Zack opened the door. "...and enter." Woody went straight into the door hinge, not even opening his eyes. "OK you can open your eyes now." Woody did just that and Zack led him into his newly decorated cabin. Filled with almost everything a teen boy could love; candy, Foosball table, nacho cheese fountain, and a disco ball. "Welcome to the greatest bachelor pad, afloat."

Zack smiled as Woddy surveyed and enjoyed his surroundings. "Add pizza, and a big pile of meringue, I would never leave." Woody said. He wanted to stay and try all the goodies Zack's room had to offer.

"Well, you gotta. I've invited Tiffany over here to play some Foosball." Zack said. He liked his friend a lot, but he also liked girls a lot too. He wanted to make a good impression with this new girl he's been keeping his eye on.

"Nothing impresses a girl more than romantic music, and tiny plastic men in shorts." Woody said with a smile, before noticing a leather chair. "Wow, cool chair."

"And it reclines." Zack added as Woody took his seat. "Just press this button." He handed his friend a remote to the chair, but it became stuck as Woody pushed the recline button. "You know, I think I know what the problem is. So, try to get off."

But suddenly, the chair started acting on its own, moving all over the place, causing Woody to hold on to Zack tightly. Just as Zack's date, Tiffany comes in.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you had company." Tiffany said, weirded out by the sight in front of her. She left immediately.

"No Tiffany! Wait!" Zack said, trying to get off of Woody to catch his date. "Woody, let go of me!"

"No! I'm scared of the chair!" Woody whined as he held onto Zack tighter.

A few minutes later, the plane landed in New York City where the S.S Tipton was docked. After exiting the plane, collecting their luggage, and taking a taxi, the four teens made it to the dock and were in awe over the size of the cruise ship. "You could fit four small boats into that beauty." Ron said with a smile, making Kim smile back. After grabbing their luggage, they made their way on board, ready to start the adventure.

Inside the lobby, Moesby was waiting for the new students who won the special contest in Middleton to arrive. He then smiled as he saw four teenager approach. "Hello. Welcome aboard." Moesby then gasped as he recognized one of the new students. "Kim Possible?!"

"Mr. Moesby?" Kim asked, recognizing the former hotel manager.

"My goodness! It's so good to see you again!" Mr. Moesby said with a smile. "I haven't seen you since you saved the Tipton Hotel from the horrible fire. Oh, and thank you so much again."

"No big. Anyone could have put out a fire with a couple hundred buckets of cold water." Kim said with a smile, trying to be modest.

"I know. That was such a rescue." Moesby said. "So, you must be the new students for Seven Seas High."

"We must be." Kim said with a grin before she felt Bonnie push her out of the way.

"Listen, does my cabin have enough closet space? Because I practically brought my entire wardrobe and one teeny, tiny closet will not do for a fashion diva like me." Bonnie said, earning her a growl from Kim and Monique.

"Just out of curiosity, me and Bonnie aren't gonna be living together, are we?" Kim asked, not wanting to relive her torment of sharing a room with the mean girl during cheer camp.

"Let me check." Moesby said, checking the cabin assignments. "Nope. Your rooms are separate." Kim smiled with relief.

"Well thank gosh! Out of the way, losers!" Bonnie said, grabbing her room key and rushing across the lobby to get to her room.

"That Bonnie is as sweet as ever." Monique smirked, with Rufus gagging in agreement.

"Well, here are your manuals for Seven Seas High, and your room keys." Moesby said, handing said items to Kim, Monique, and Ron. "Why don't you girls find your rooms, while I help Ron Stoppable find his room?"

"Hey! You know my name!" Ron said happily, knowing that most people forget his name.

"You're wearing a name tag." Moesby pointed out. Ron noticed it, but just loved the fact that someone knew his name.

"Catch ya later on the skydeck?" Kim asked with a smile, earning her a peck on the cheek from Ron. "I'll take that as a yes. Later." Both Kim and Monique made their way to their rooms while Moesby helped Ron find his room.

Meanwhile, hiding behind a couple of plants, Drakken and Shego have made it onboard the cruise ship. "OK, now that we're onboard, how are we gonna kidnap the rich chick?" Shego whispered.

"Patience Shego. It takes time to plan out these things. While we're here, you wanna try the buffet out?" Drakken asked with a smile.

"No thanks, but I think I'll go shop around the boutiques while you go stuff your face with muffins and Coco Moo." Shego smirked. Drakken wanted to fire back at that insult, but knowing Shego can burn him, he simply walked away from her.

Meanwhile, London was gathering all her stuff, getting ready to move out, happy with the fact that she doesn't have to share a room with Bailey anymore. The rich girl hoped that her new roommate wouldn't be as lame as Bailey, and that her room would have bigger closet space. Bailey then entered the room to find London packing her clothes. "London, what are you doing?" Bailey asked.

"What does it look like I'm doing? Packing!" London said happily.

"You're trying to escape again?" Bailey asked, thinking that London was trying to escape the boat. "You know Mr. Moseby will catch you like he done the last 25 times."

"No! I'm moving out of here! I've been reassigned rooms!" London replied, shocking Bailey. The farm girl couldn't believe that London was actually gonna move out of their room for good.

"You serious?" Bailey asked, half surprised, half sad.

"Of course! Why else am I packing my things and not yours this time?" London asked like Bailey just asked a stupid question. Part of Bailey was actually happy that she didn't have to share a room with London anymore. She was getting tired of the rich girl's insults and just wished she could pack her expensive clothes faster.

But another part of Bailey was so sad. Even though London and her had their fights, they were still friends. Maybe not close friends, but still friends. "So, you're probably also getting a new roommate as well, right?" Bailey asked.

"Oh yeah. Thanks for reminding me." London said with disgust. "Hopefully my new roommate will actually have some real fashion sense." Usually, Bailey would shoot back at London's insult, but she was still too shocked to actually say something. Even the rich girl noticed it. "Bailey, you OK?"

"It's just that, even though we might not have gotten along as much as I hoped, I really thought we had a thing going. Like we were friends." Bailey said with a frown.

"Yeah. I guess we did." London said, actually being caring for about two seconds before slamming her suitcase shut. "Oh well. Bye."

But before London could open the door, she stopped as the overwhelming feeling of sadness that Bailey was feeling enveloped her too. "I'm actually even gonna miss your insults." Bailey said.

London tried to fight the tears from streaming out of her eyes and ruining her makeup that she put on this morning. "Bailey, don't tell anyone this but..." London said in a threatening tone before becoming soft. "...I'm actually gonna miss you too."

"Aww London..." Bailey cooed, almost ready to cry herself.

"Look, we'll still see each other during class. And who knows? Maybe you and your new roommate will actually get along better than you and me." London said, trying to put a positive spin on things. "Maybe you two might even have the same lame fashion sense."

Bailey actually managed a smile at London's attempt to be nice. "Yeah. Maybe so." Bailey said. "Well, I better just let you leave before things get too mushy."

"You got that right. I'm out of here!" London said, ready to open the door before facing Bailey one more time. "Oh who am I kidding? Come here!"

Tears now came out of both girls eyes as they actually hugged each other, knowing that they weren't gonna be roommates anymore, and will miss each other very much. "I'll miss you!" Bailey cried.

"I'll miss you too!" London cried, actually not caring about her makeup. They continued the sob fest for a full ten seconds. "Let go on three?"

"OK. I'll count." Bailey said. "One, two, three."

"Thanks. Bye." London said, breaking the hug, actually opening the door and leaving with her suitcase in hand. All that was left was a sad Bailey who stopped crying, but was now trying to get used to not sharing a room with London.

"Bye London..." Bailey whispered as she sat down on what used to be London's bed. I can't believe that London is no longer sharing a room with me, Bailey thought to herself. She then tried to come up with the positives. But on the other hand, she did get annoyed at my farm life. Putting a smile on, Bailey got up and grabbed her rope. Now that London wasn't in her room anymore to complain, she thought it was a good time for trick rope and good old country songs. Swing your partner round and round, pick her up and put her down...Bailey sung to herself, actually getting into a pleasant mood.

As the Kansas girl continued her rope tricks, Kim then entered the room and was caught by Bailey's rope. "Hey!" Kim shouted as she became tangled in the rope and got tripped.

"Oh I am so sorry!" Bailey said as she freed Kim from the ropes. "I was practicing my rope skills, and I completely forgot that I had a new roommate coming."

"It's cool. Don't worry." Kim said as she got up and dusted herself off. Bailey gasped as she immediately recognized her.

"Oh my gosh! I know you! You're Kim Possible!" Bailey said with a huge smile, making Kim blush and smile back.

"That's me." Kim replied.

"Wow! This is epic." Bailey said happily while taking Kim's suitcases. "Let me get those for you. And I am so sorry about the mess."

"It's no big. You don't need to treat me like a celebrity. I'm just a regular teen like you." Kim said, setting her luggage down on what used to be London's bed.

"Wow...you're so modest." Bailey said before extending her hand out. "I'm Bailey."

"Nice to meet you, Bailey." Kim greeted before looking at Bailey's rope. "So, cow girl?"

"Oh yeah. I grew up in Kettlecorn, Kansas. It's a really small town. If you drive past it, you'll be in Kettlepot before you know it." Bailey explained. "So, what brings you to Seven Seas High?"

"Me and my friends won a special contest at school, and now we're gonna be living and studying here for the next six months." Kim explained before seeing a glittery pink dress on the floor. "This looks cute, and expensive." She never saw that kind of dress at Club Banana.

"Oh, that must be London's. She probably forgot to get the rest of her stuff" Bailey said, taking the dress from her. "Anyway, would you like me to give you a grand tour? I've been here longer, and know this boat better than most people."

"Sure. That would be great." Kim said with a smile as she and Bailey exited the room to start the tour.

Moesby and Ron walked through the boys dormitory. "Now this is the boys dorm. And your room is right here." Moesby said.

"Why thank you sir. Rufus, tip the nice man." Ron said with a smile.

"Ta Da!" Rufus squeaked, holding out a dollar bill and handing it to Ron so he can give it to Moesby.

"Ronald, I am the manager of the ship. I couldn't possibly..." Moesby said, trying to be modest before seeing how much Rufus has tipped him: $100 dollars. "Sweet mama! Your mole rat's a good tipper."

"Just a little some extra from my old job back at one of the most successful stores in Middleton." Ron said, making Moesby gasp.

"You work at Smarty Mart?" Moesby asked, to which Ron nodded. "That's my favorite store! It's where I buy most of my pocket hankies!" He then led Ron and Rufus into their new room, which is actually Zack's room. "I'm sure it's not as luxurious as what you teen heroes are used to, but..." They then saw Zack's makeover and became surprised. "Holy makeover! What happened in here?"

Ron and Rufus smiled, loving what they were seeing so far. "Now this is the most badical room I have ever seen on a boat." Ron said before gasping at Zack's nacho cheese fountain. "Look Rufus. A nacho cheese fountain."

"Cheese!" Rufus squeaked happily as he and his master stuck their heads under it to get a taste. Ron got a couple of gulps before seeing the Foosball table.

"And how did you know I like Foosball?" Ron asked with his mouth full.

"Oh, who doesn't? There's a ball, and you Foos it." Moesby said with a smile.

Rufus then made his way to the Foosball table and decided to play. Pretending to be a soccer player, her kicked the Foosball straight into the opening. "Goal!" Rufus squeaked, earning him a thumbs up from Ron and Moesby.

"Oh, that's my old recliner. Wonder what that's doing here?" Moesby asked as he took a seat in the chair.

"Now add a pizza oven, and a big pile of meringue, and this room would totally be off the hook." Ron said with a smile, with Rufus nodding in agreement.

"I wonder why I ever got rid of you." Moesby said as he pushed a button to recline, but suddenly the chair acted erratically again, throwing Moesby back and forth with it, till he got caught up and stuck.

"I'm guessing that would be the reason." Ron said as he cringed along with Rufus. Zack then entered the room, barely noticing Ron.

"Hey." Zack greeted before turning around, recognizing him. "No way! You're Ron Stoppable?"

Ron's face lit up in happiness over someone knowing his name. "Hey, you know who I am?" Ron asked with a smile.

"You kidding me? I know tons about you! You're the totally most badical sidekick to one of the most awesome heroes ever, Kim Possible!" Zack said with a smile. "And I loved your Naked Mole Rat Rap! It was epic!" Rufus heard that and squeaked happily at his and Ron's famous viral sensation being mentioned. "No way! Rufus!"

"In the pink and naked flesh!" Ron said, holding Rufus in his hand proudly.

"This is totally epic! Is Kim Possible here as well?" Zack asked, not trying to contain his excitement.

"She sure is!" Ron said.

"Sweet! I can't wait to meet the butt kicking babe herself." Zack said, earning him a glare from Ron.

"You should also know that she happens to be my girlfriend." Ron said sternly, earning him a laugh from Zack.

But, his laugh died when Ron's glare didn't. "Oh, you serious?!" Zack asked in disbelief, to which Ron nodded. "OK, girls aside, what are you and Rufus doing in my room?"

"Your room?" Ron asked, confused. "I thought this was my room."

"Really? You see I lived here for a year and a half, and I think I would have noticed you both." Zack said, thinking Ron was playing around.

"Zack...Ronald Stoppable is your new roommate." Moesby breathed, still struggling with the recliner.

"Roommate?!" Zack and Ron asked in disbelief.

"Alright boys, cut the chit chat! My name tag is piercing my heart!" Moesby yelled. With that, Ron and Zack rushed over and helped Moesby out of the recliner. "Thank you, Ronald." Moesby then left the room, leaving Ron and a somewhat angry Zack to themselves.

"I suppose you don't want me as a roommate?" Ron asked with a nervous smile.

"Are you kidding me?" Zack asked in a somewhat angry tone before smiling. "I wish you two would have come here sooner!" Zack and Ron then shared a friendly handshake. "This is gonna be epic! I did kind of like having my own room, but sharing it with one of the most badical dudes ever is worth it. You wanna do some rock climbing?"

"Boo yah!" Ron said with a smile.

"OK. But before we go..." Zack said, his face turning serious. "...how in the world are you dating Kim Possible?!"
