CHAPTER 1: Too Far
Everything seemed quiet in the Tipton Hotel. Sure there was the usual small chatting, but that was normal. For some strange reason, Zack and Cody were not in the lobby. Usually they were. That was certainly not normal. At least that was what Maddie Fitzpatrick thought. She had just come back from Antarctica, she had made enemies with Mr. Moseby's niece, Nia, and she had been having a hard time trying to work with the timid employee, Millicent. If there was one life she wished she had, it was London Tipton's. London is the resident rich girl and the daughter of the owner of the Tipton. Like everyone else who worked at the Tipton, Maddie thought that London was by far the most naïve person anyone could ever meet, but no one could ever be honest about it because they knew that if they said so, they could risk losing their jobs. No one wanted that. To them, it was better to not say anything about it.
The day started out normal. It was Saturday, and about thirty minutes after noon. Maddie was at the candy counter, doing her job. Mr. Moseby was filing some paper work at the front desk, and suddenly, one of the elevators went "ding!" The door opened and out came London Tipton in a beautiful sapphire blue dress, silver high heel shoes, diamond earrings, her hair was done up in wavy layers, she wore purple eye shadow, red blush, red lipstick, and was carrying her pet, Ivana. She walked up to the counter and snapped her fingers.
"Mint me, candy girl," she snapped. Maddie rolled her eyes and gave her a white a red mint. London placed it in her mouth and enjoyed the strong taste. While she enjoyed herself, Maddie just stared looking ill. Her rich associate swallowed the mint and looked at the candy girl.
"Maddie, you look sad," she said, pretending to care. Maddie raised her head.
"Well, you see…" she said.
"Don't care!" snapped London. Maddie closed her mouth. London looked excited.
"Guess what! Daddy has been hearing good things about my time at the hideous high school and is getting me another yacht! Oh, it's so good to be me!" she said. Maddie glared. While London applauded herself. Maddie walked out of her counter.
"You know, London, do you think it's possible to actually let me talk before you interrupt me?" she asked in the nicest way she could. London shook her head.
"Of course not, silly! Why would I want to listen to the unimportant stories of nobodies…like you?" she said with a smile pointing at Maddie.
Maddie turned an ugly shade of red.
"Why d'you think that?" she asked, trying to hardest not lose her temper.
"Well, because you're not rich, like me, why should I listen? Rich people have talks that are actually good!" replied London. "Unlike you, who don't really have anything important to say. But that's not the real problem."
Maddie was steamed!
"Oh really? First of all that's 'who doesn't have anything important to say'…and second, what is the real problem?" she asked with her hand that was resting on the counter shaking. London's smile grew wider.
"Wow! This is gonna be easy! You're kind of pathetic, you have icky hair, your sense of fashion (if you have any) is sick, and your life isn't important, but luckily, with you listening to my life, you'll be doing something important. See how that works?" she explained. Maddie tried to ignore, but she could not help it!
"Anyway, I must be off. My limo is taking to a place called Al Lamo!" replied London. Maddie rolled her eyes.
"It's pronounced 'Alamo!'" she replied. The rich girl rolled her eyes.
"Like it matters, so see ya!" said London as she walked toward the front doors. As Norman the doorman opened the door for her, Maddie could not help but glare. She hated London's insults. She wanted to insult her too, but she knew that she could not do so.
Throughout the rest of that long day, Maddie just stood at her counter, selling candy, as her hand twitched in angry.
That night after her shift was over, Maddie went home, longing for a long rest, so she could wake up tomorrow and sell candy all over again.
When she came home, she heard her mother and father fighting, which was normal. She could hear water running, which that her grandmother was having her bath. She also heard her horrid brother, Liam, jumping on his bed, laughing like crazy. Even after going through her whole life living with this, she still hated it.
As she walked into her room, she pulled down her bed, and went to drawer. As she searched for her pajamas, she found something black and rectangular.
She pulled it out and there written on the tape was "Maddie's Ducktales Episodes".
Suddenly, Maddie started going through a flashback. When she was a child, she used to watch Ducktales all the time. She remembered Scrooge McDuck, Launchpad McQuack, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and Gizmoduck a.k.a Fenton Crackshell, his mother, and Gyro Gearloose, but the characters she had always favored were The Beagle Boys. Maddie remembered Ducktales too well. She remembered how the Beagle Boys would always try to rob Scrooge's "money bin".
This gave Maddie an idea.
If there was one thing London and Scrooge McDuck had in common, it was that they were not only rich, but they both would be devestated if something were to happen to their money.
"Bigtime, Burger, Baggy, Bankjob, Bugle, Bouncer, and Babyface...I need you," whisered Maddie.
It was payback time.
