1. Chapter 1

It was early on Friday morning when he heard the news. 8:03 a.m. to be exact. The phone rang and Chase fell off his bed trying to reach it in time. Luckily, he reached the phone right before she was going to hang up.

"Hello?" Chase asked into the speaker, out of breath.

"Hi, Chase, it's Rachel," a clear sweet voice spoke into his ear.

"Rachel? Why in the world are you calling so early?" Isn't it, like, five a.m. in New York."

"Yes, but it's eight a.m. at PCA, isn't it?"

"Yeah..." Chase muttered looking at his watch.

"Well I thought you'd be up by now, sorry."

"It's alright. Just...why? Why'd you call?"

"I'm coming to PCA."

"You're, what?!" Chase said with a touch of panic in his voice.

"I'm coming today. Actually, I'm getting ready to go on the plane in a few minutes. We depart in about thirty minutes. I'll probably be there by four. So I'll see you in a little while, alright?"

"Wait, Rachel-"

"Oops, I've gotta go. My phone's got a low battery and we're boarding."

"Rachel don't hang up. I need to-" The line had already gone dead. Chase groaned and sat up, rubbing his eyes. Rachel. Rachel at PCA. Rachel with her huge beautiful green eyes, with long firey red, hair, and her spontaneity was going to be at PCA. Chase dialed his mother's cell phone number.

"Chase? Do you know what time it is?" Mrs. Matthews asked

"Um, yeah, Rachel just called to tell me that she is coming to PCA. Mother did you know anything about this?"

"Of course not. Why is she coming?"

"I don't know. That's why I called you."

"Well, I don't really know what to say. I haven't even heard from Rachel or her mom for about a month. But you know Rachel. She's spontaneous and a tad bit crazy but, you know, we love her anyway."

"I know Mom. It just bugs me that she didn't ok it with me first. I like to keep my home life out of my PCA life."

"Well I hope you tell her that. I know how you get around her. She drives you insane when you aren't actually with her but as soon as you two are in the same room, you drop everything and she's suddenly flawless."

"Mom that is not true."

"Chase, don't worry about it. I'm sure it will all come together later. Call me and tell me how it works. I have to go."

"Well, bye."

"Bye sweetie, I love you."_ Click_.

Chase sighed and rested his head in hands. Another wave of panic went through him. How would he explain her to Zoey? And everyone else. Other than Zoey, Rachel was his closest girl friend. They had known each other since they were babies because their mothers were best friends. Chase and Rachel were born only 6 and a half months apart and Rachel was the older of the two. Their childhood was filled with games of hide and seek, nintendo, and beanie baby wars (long story).But here's what I'm worried about. I haven't told my friends this, but the summer after eigth grade, Rachel and I started dating. It didn't work out. We figured out that we are much better off as friends.

"Hey, what are you doing up?" Michael got off his bed and gave Chase a funny look.

"I got a phone call," Chase muttered.

"From back home?"

"Yeah, sort of," he stood up and headed for the door, "I need a shower."

* * *

"Have you seen Chase today?" Zoey Brooks asked Nicole Bristow, who was lying in her bed reading Popstar magazine. It was about five p.m. on Saturday afternoon and Zoey hadn't seen Chase all day. It was especially weird because they had plans to go see a movie at 3:30 and he didn't show up. She watched I Am Legend by her self and that was completely boring because she couldn't stand action movies but Chase liked them. The only reason she went was because he wanted to see it. The only thing good about seeing the movie was that Will Smith was in it.

Nicole pondered for a moment, "Actually, no. That's strange. Why?"

"Well, we were supposed to go see I Am Legend at three and he kinda blew me off."

"But Chase never forgets. Have you tried calling him?"

"His phone's dead."

Michael walked in the room, "Hey Nicole can I borrow ten bucks? I need to go get some new polish for my flute and I am poor."

"Michael! Have you seen Chase?" Nicole asked.

"Not since he went to go take a shower. He woke up at like eight because someone from home called and then he said he was going to take a shower and I haven't seen him anywhere."

"I hope he's alright," Zoey said, "That's not like Chase."

"Nicole, ten dollars?"

"Oh, hold on, let me go get my purse. Nicole hopped off the top bunk and grabbed some money out of her Dooney and Burke bag and gave it to Michael.

"Thanks," Michael bolted out the door before Nicole could tell him to pay her back.

"I'm really worried, Nicole," Zoey said, "He must be upset. Last time he disapeered like this his Grandmother died. If he got a call from home, something must be wrong."

"Michael better give me my ten dollars back. I only have fifteen left for the entire month."

Zoey sighed,"I'm gonna go look for him."

"See ya," Nicole said.

Zoey looked around the campus, in his favorite spots, by trees, and a few fountains. Suddenly she spot him sitting on a bench. He was laughing. Zoey sighed with relief, realizing he wasn't upset. Then she saw it, next to him was a slim girl with curly red hair, smiling, and her head was resting on Chase's shoulder. Zoey backed away slowly, hoping he hadn't seen her and feeling a touch of hurt and betrayl. Chase had blown her of _to go on a date_.

* * *

A/N: Alright, this will be a short one. Maybe five or six chapters. It's another idea I had that turned out crappy the first time. (Like December of 2005.) I've also decided if I don't get a whole lot of reviews I'm just going to quit. I am turning 18 in a few days. I'm going to be going away for an internship for a year in August. It doesn't make sense to keep doing this if people don't appriciate it. Reviews are everything people. One time I got 20 reviews for one chapter of Reunited and I put the next chapter up the next day. Reviews inspire the author to continue on, even bad reviews, because then it inspires the author to do better.

Enough preaching for me, I really do love the people who do review. You guys are awesome, really. But if you read something give feedback. Not just for me, for everyone that writes a story. I never read a story without reviewing.

Sorry, just speaking my mind. I'm full of frustration.

Chase's Best Friend

-Chapter Two-

Zoey turned around and began to run so Chase and his date wouldn't see her completely humiliating herself. But it was too late, Chase spotted her and sat up abruptly. "Zoey! Wait!"

It was too late. Zoey had already turned the corner and ran as fast as she possibly could.

"So that's Zoey, huh?" Rachel asked, sweeping her beautiful red hair out of her sparkling green eyes.

"Yes. And I completely forgot that I was supposed to see a movie with her this afternoon. I feel terrible," Chase looked angry.

"Oh, man. I am so sorry," Rachel said with sympathy etched across her face. She got up and held up her hand to pull him off the bench. He let her pull him up. "Where would she be?"

"Probably back in her dorm," Chase said.

"You have to go and talk to her. I feel really awful."

Chase saw the sincerity in Rachel's exquisite green eyes, "Alright. Wait, what are you going to do while I go find her?"

"I don't know. I guess I'll just walk around campus." Rachel shrugged.

"Why don't you just come with me. After I explain it all you can meet her and Nicole...and maybe Dana."

"Alright."

* * *

Zoey burst into her room, breathing heavily and trying really hard not to cry. She didn't know why she felt so upset about this. Chase had gone on dates before. He even went out with Lola once... But hadn't she been upset about that also? Zoey remembered the feeling of being blown off for Lola. He had forgotten to play tennis with her. She felt like her territory was being taken over or something. Not that Chase was hers or anything. He was just her closest guy friend and Lola was...not her. Zoey shook her head. "I'm so confused," she moaned to Nicole.

"Why?" Nicole looked up from her OK! magazine.

"I found out why Chase didn't meet me for I Am Legend." Zoey sat (more like collapsed) on the dorm couch and took a drink of her Blix.

"Why?" Nicole asked again.

"I looked all over the place for him, hoping he was alright. I found him on a bench with _a girl_."

"So?" Nicole asked, "Chase dates. I mean, he is a normal teenage guy. You can assume that he'll go on a few dates. Even if his hair is unnaturally bushy."

"Yes but he didn't meet me at the movies like he promised over a girl. I can't help but feel hurt."

Nicole thought for a moment, "What color hair did she have?"

"Red, why?"

Nicole squealed, "Aaaaw! I could always imagine him with a red head. Is she pretty."

Zoey rolled her eyes, "I don't know. I guess so. I didn't really take a good look at her."

There was a knock on the door. "I'll get it," Nicole hopped off the top bunk and opened the door, "Hi."

"Is Zoey in here?"

"Yeah. Wanna come in?"

Chase stood over Zoey, who was on her bed reading, "Zoe?"

"You don't have to explain, Chase. It's not a big deal. I would probably forget about going to the movies with you if I had a date."

"A date?" Chase asked, trying not to laugh, he knelt down and looked at Zoey, "Zoe, that was my friend Rachel from New York. She pulled a surprise visit on me. I was just so wrapped up in her being here and trying to make her feel welcome that I completely forgot about going to the movies."

"Oh..." Zoey felt stupid, "Well, then. I guess that explains it." Zoey felt a little bit relieved but there was still something wrong. It was a slight twinge of jealousy...maybe.

"Where is she?" Nicole asked.

"Actually, she's right outside the door. Wanna meet her?' Chase asked.

"Sure!" Nicole said.

"Yeah," Zoey said.

"Rach, you can come in," Chase called.

A beautiful girl with red curls and sparkling green eyes walked in. "Hi, she said, "I'm Rachel."

Zoey shook her dainty hand, "I'm Zoey."

**Chase's Best Friend**

-Chapter 3-

"Zoey, I've heard so much about you," Rachel looked up at Chase and grinned.

"Oh, really?" _Cause I haven't heard a thing about you_, Zoey thought bitterly.

"Yeah, from the first day you guys met, it's been Zoey this, Zoey that."

"Really?" Zoey said, looking at Chase with a smile. Chase's face turned red and he smacked Rachel gently on the knee.

"I talk about everyone with Rachel," Chase muttered, "She knows all."

"Funny, I never heard anything about you, Rachel," Zoey said as nicely as she could say it and then looked at Chase pointedly.

Chase turned even more red than he was before. It was very awkward seeing his two girl best friends co-mingling, especially when one of them knew that he was insane about the other one.

"Oh, that's because I'm an embarrassment," Rachel said nonchalantly.

Chase shook his head, "Yeah she is pretty embarrassing, but that's not why I didn't tell you, Zoey. I just don't like to mix my PCA life and home life together."

"Why not?" Zoey asked.

"Because...I don't know. It's weird."

"Chase and I dated last summer," Rachel blurted out.

Chase's mouth dropped open. Zoey looked at Chase, "Really?"

Chase just nodded.

Rachel went on, feeling like an idiot for rambling so much, "I guess this is the embarrassing part of me. We decided to date when Chase got home from PCA last summer. It didn't work out though. We're better off being friends."

Zoey didn't know what to say. Chase looked at Rachel like he wanted to murder her.

"Oh," Zoey finally muttered.

"So, we'd better get going Rach. It's past curfew. Where are you staying?"

"I was assigned to room 154 with some girl named Rebecca Green. Do you know her?"

"Oh gosh," Chase smacked himself in the face multiple times.

"What?"

"Rebecca," Chase shuddered at her name.

"I guess you _do_ know her," Rachel's eyes danced with laughter.

"Rebecca!" Chase said, this time with emphasis.

It took Rachel awhile, "Rebecca...Oh my goodness! That Rebecca?"

"That Rebecca," Chase groaned.

"Crazy, phycho, ex-girlfriend, Rebecca?"

"Yes!"

"Oh...well, I'll take care of that."

"What?"

Rachel smiled, "Nice to meet you, Zoey. Good-night Chase." And then she was gone. Chase stayed back and waited for Zoey to say something.

"I've gotta go to bed," Zoey muttered after a long moment of silence.

"Ok."

"Bye."

"Wait, Zoe, are you mad at me?"

"Kinda," Zoey admitted.

"I'm sorry I missed our movie. I'll make it up to you, I-"

"Just go, Chase. I'm really tired and don't want to deal with this."

"Ok," Chase gave her one last guilty smile, "Good-night."

"'Night."

* * *

A/N: It's been awhile.

Howdy do?

Reviews are the cream of the oreo cookie.

	4. Chapter 4

**Chase's Best Friend**

**-Chapter 3-**

"How long are you going to stay mad at Chase?" Nicole asked the next morning. Zoey was still upset that she had to watch a science fiction/horror movie without him.

"I don't know," Zoey shrugged. After a quiet moment she added, "Hey how long is that Rachel girl going to be here?"

"I'm not sure," Nicole said, "She's nice though. And I like her clothes."

Zoey rolled her eyes, "I'm gonna go take a shower."

* * *

"So, what do you think of Zoey?" Chase asked Rachel. She met him in his dorm the next morning, with a cup of coffee and a danish.

"I think she's great. I can't imagine what she thinks of me though. I acted like an idiot last night."

"She probaly likes you," Chase re-assured her, "She was ticked that I didn't meet her at the movies last night."

"Oh. That's probaly my fault," Rachel said.

"Yeah, well, kinda," Chase said.

"I'm sorry." Zoey said.

"You're sorry?" Chase was perplexed, "For what?"

"It's ok. Well, it will be. I guess," Chase said.

"Yeah. What are you doing today?"

"I have tennis with Zoey if she still wants to and Sunday nights we usually all go to Sushi Rox."

"Sushi? Since when do you eat sushi?" Rachel asked, "You don't even like cooked fish!"

"Well, I guess I learned to like it."

Rachel looked at her friend hard for a minute, "Boy you've changed...But I missed you."

"I missed you too," Chase kissed his friend on lightly on the cheek, "Come on, let's go find Zoey."

"You find her. I want you guys to be ok."

"Ok, what're you going to do then?"

"I don't know. I guess I'll just explore."

* * *

Zoey got dressed, blow dried her hair and just as she sat down to do her makeup, there was a knock on the door.

It was Chase.

"Hey, Zoe."

"Hi," stubborness welled up inside but she decided to fight it. "I'm sorry."

"You're sorry?" Chase asked, "For what?"

"Being so mad at you. I probaly would have done the same thing," Zoey say down on the couch. Chase sat next to her.

"Really? You have a dysfunctional best friend back home?"

"Not dysfunctional, but I do have a best friend back home."

"Oh."

"So why don't we go see a movie tonight? You, me, and Rachel?" Zoey asked.

"Oh... that sounds interesting," Chase said.

"What do you say?" Zoey asked again.

Chase pondered for a moment, "I say, that sounds really nice."

"Cool," Zoey smiled, "Well I have to finish getting ready."

"I got it. I'm leaving. Thanks, Zoey. For understanding."

"No problem," Zoey smiled again. Chase smiled back and departed.

* * *

A/N: One more chapter! So, I finally feel like I can write because Zoey 101 has officially come to end. (Starts to tear up.) I'm going to miss it. But I'm glad there was closure so I can write freely without the writers messing something up for me. Like when Lola was Lola Camacho and then turned to Lola Martinez...

Review please, and tell me what you think of the series ending.

	5. Chapter 5

**Chase's Best Friend**

-Chapter 5-

"Do you guys want popcorn?" Chase asked Rachel and Zoey once they all had gotten their tickets for the movie of the night.

"Yes!"

"Yes!

Zoey and Rachel replied at the same time. They looked ate each other and laughed a bit.

Chase laughed with them,"Okay, popcorn for two coming up."_ This is going to work_, he thought as he made his way to the concession stand.

"So, how'd you and Chase meet?" Zoey asked.

"We met in first grade..."

She studied Rachel's face. Her emerald green eyes were sparkling. Her fair skin was filled with freckles. Her nose was very cute, small, and button-like. Her smile was enchanting. She was beautiful.

_No wonder Chase fell for her. She's beautiful. She's fun. She's perfect._

"...and then he stole my zebra. We've been friends ever since."

"What?" Zoey asked, "I'm so sorry. I just missed everything before 'and then he stole my zebra'."

Rachel laughed, "It was first grade. Recess. All the girls and the boys were obsessed with cooties and stayed away from each other. But not me. I had a crush on a new boy just about every day. I also carried around an old stuffed zebra with me pretty much everywhere I went. Well on this one day- it was a friday. I decided I liked the kid who had bushy hair. It was poofy and very cute. So I followed him around the whole recess. He got so annoyed with me that he grabbed my zebra and ran away. I chased him the whole recess. This went on for about a week until we finally just started playing with each other. We've been best friends ever since."

"What are you guys talking about?" Chase asked, three small popcorns in his arms.

"How you and Rachel became friends," Zoey said. She tried to sound happy but felt somewhat sad that Chase had such a past and never told her.

"Ah...the zebra."

"The zebra," Rachel repeated with a laugh.

"Well, let's go into the theater," Zoey said.

They did. Zoey chose the middle row. She sat on Chase's left and Rachel sat on Chase's right. During the movie Rachel would whisper something in Chase's ear and he'd start cracking up. Zoey couldn't help but feel jealous. She hated the feeling. It really wasn't fair of her to be jealous. He was Rachel's friend first after all.

When the end credits appeared on the screen and the lights flipped on Zoey shot up in her seat so fast. She wanted to get of there. She had some serious thinking to do.

"Hey guys, I've got to go," Zoey said.

"Alright, later Zoe," Chase said.

"Nice meeting you Zoey," Rachel called out to her.

"You too!"

* * *

The waved hit the shore with a soft splash. Zoey took a deep breath, drinking it all in. The ocean always calmed her down. Especially at night when she was alone. (Even though, technically, PCA students weren't allowed to go to the beach at night.)

Chase. Why was Chase on her mind so much? Why did she feel betrayed? Why did she feel jealous? The questions continued to flow but in the back of her mind, Zoey knew the answer. She had feelings for him. Was it possible? Falling for her best friend?

Yes.

But what if he didn't feel the same for her? What if they did start dating and their whole friendship was ruined because they broke up?

_You need to tell him_, a voice said in the back of her mind.

And then Zoey continued watching the waves until she decided to walk back.

* * *

The next morning, Zoey woke up early and walked over to Chase's dorm. Hesitantly, she knocked on his door. Logan answered.

"What do you want?" He asked.

"I need to talk to Chase," Zoey said.

"He's sleeping. Wanna make out instead?" Logan asked with a smirk.

"I'm not sleeping!" Chase said.

"Grow up," Zoey moved Logan out of her way. "Chase I need to talk to you." She studied him He was still in his pajamas but didn't care.

"Ok," he said.

"Logan do you mind leaving us alone?"

"Whatever," Logan slammed the door behind him.

"Rachel's not coming over here or something?" Zoey asked.

"What?"

"You two don't have plans?"

"Zoe, she left last night. She had to be back to New York."

"Oh," Zoey breathed a sigh of relief. Well now I don't have to tell him, she thought. But her mouth started moving anyway. "So, last night?"

"Last night..."

"I went to the beach after we watched the movie and stayed until like, ten o'clock, just thinking."

"What were you doing at the beach at night alone? You could have gotten yourself killed?"

"Just listen, please," Zoey said.

"Ok."

"I was just thinking about you and Rachel and everything...the feelings I've been feeling since she first came here."

"What were you feeling?"

"I don't know...jealous I guess. And then my jealousy made me realize that..." Zoey couldn't finish it.

"Zoe, having you and Rachel together made me realize something too."

"What's that?"

"That you two are both my best friends. But there's a big difference between the two of you."

"What's that?"

"Rachel's my friend. But you, I like you Zoey. I like you more than a friend. And I want to be more than a friend with you. If you say no, that's fine. I just wanted you to-"

Zoey gently kissed him on the lips,"I'd love to." Chase grinned and in his mind he screamed, _FINALLY!_

A/N: The end. Now I'm going to work on ending Aloha Means Hello and Good-bye.

Chase's Best Friend by Noelle Joi


Candle on the water

Candle on the water

_**Candle on the water**_

_I'll be you're candle on the water. My love for you will always burn. I know your lost and drifting but the clouds are lifting soon you'll see a golden stream of light. _

Chase sat in a chair next to the hospital bed that Zoey was in. She had just had their first child. Her name was Melody Anna Matthews. When the nurse brought the baby in Zoey still hadn't woken up. Chase held the baby in his arms he smiled at Zoey and knew he would always love her.

Their relation ship had some bumps and rough edges sometimes he felt lost like they were drifting apart but then he would see the light at the end of the tunnel and he knew that everything would be ok.

_A cold and friendless time has found you don't let the stormy darkness hold you down. I'll paint a ray of hope around you circling in the air lighted by a prayer._

Three years later Chase was putting Melody to bed. He kissed her and said "now Mel you've had three bed time stories and I turned on you nightlight myself. It's way past bedtime."

Melody said "daddy at daycare the other children make fun of me. Did people make fun of you at school? They say that my hair looks like a big blonde bush. I don't have any friends except for Maria and Annabel. They're like family and that doesn't count."

Chase said "people poked fun at my hair a lot Mel. I had this one teacher who always asked whether it was a perm or not. Even your mother called me little names like fuzzy head or curly sue. The important thing is if you like how you look. Goodnight Melody and don't let those people hurt you just laugh it off. If you're really up what they say tell me when you get home and I'll introduce you to the tickle monster."

Chase tickled his daughter until she begged him to stop. Then he left the room and went to bed. Before he went to sleep though he shook Zoey gently and said "Zoe our daughter's having friendship problems. She says that people make fun of her hair and won't talk to her. I want to help her but I don't know how. I want to put a shield around her feelings so she doesn't get hurt. She's got a soft skin I guess all I can do is pray that she gets a tougher skin so they can't hurt her anymore."

_I'll be your candle on the water until every wave is warm and bright my soul is there beside you let this candle guide you. Keep holding on you'll make it here's my hand so take it look for me reaching out to show as sure as rivers flow I'll never let you go._

Every day after Chase got home from work Melody would run to him and want to have a visit from the tickle monster. He would wipe away her tears and tell her to ignore those other girls that made fun of her. One night Melody had been really hurt someone had actually beaten her up.

Melody had to be taken to the hospital by her teacher. Chase and Zoey rushed to the hospital and asked to see their daughter. A nurse said that she was fine but she could only see on parent at a time because she was tired.

Chase went in first his heart melted when he saw her sitting propped up in bed. He asked "how are you feeling Mel?"

Melody said "dad will you hold my hand until I fall asleep? I was strong just like you told me. I guess I wasn't strong enough."

Chase said "Mel you were a very brave girl. I'm proud of you. You took a punch and you didn't fight back. That proves that you will make it in life. I'm going to hold you're hand and I'm not going to let go of it until mommy comes in to see you. Mommy's proud of you to your whole family is very proud of you.

Games and Prizes

I don't own anything, except the plot. Set in season one. Enjoy!

* * *

Dana, Chase, Zoey, and Nicole were sitting at their usual lunch table eating and talking about random things that came to mind. There was a carefree atmosphere due to the fact that the school year was almost up and final exams were finally over. The soon-to-be-highschoolers had just finished their lunch when Logan and Michael raced over to them.

Catching his breath, Michael began to speak, "Guys, we gotta go to the gym, there's some kinda end of year game thingy goin' on, and they're giving away prizes!"

Chases eyes lit up at the word 'prizes' and he jumped out of his seat, "Like what? New cell phones? Candy? Free cars?!" he asked excitedly.

"Chase, you can't even drive," Zoey said in a 'duh' tone of voice.

Chase raised his eyebrow, "Are you telling me you wouldn't want a free car? I mean come on, it's a free car!"

"Yeah, Zoey, a car is a car," Nicole added.

Dana looked at Nicole, "Oh really? I didn't know that, thanks for the heads up," she said sarcastically.

Logan smirked at Dana's comment and Nicole pouted. Zoey, being the peacemaker she was, decided to step in, "Guys, they're not even giving a car away, so I think we can drop the whole conversation."

"Yeah, but still, there's prizes, so let's go!" Chase said as he got up and walked toward the gym. Michael and Logan followed and Zoey got up from her chair, "Are you guys coming?" she asked looking at Nicole and Dana.

Nicole stood up, "Yeah, I'm coming, I'm really full of energy right now, so I'm totally up for a game!" she said smiling.

"You're _always _full of energy," Dana sighed, "I guess I'll come watch, someone is bound to get hurt and I could use a good laugh."

By the time the girls caught up with the boys they were at the gym doors. As they walked in they saw a big round table with about 15 kids crowded around and a man giving out sealed envelopes. The gang walked over as the man was explaining the instructions.

"Everyone gets an envelope with a piece of paper in it. On the paper there are three objects. The objects may be people, things, food, or just about anything. The first person to bring all three things back to the table wins a 100 dollar gift certificate to Sushi Rox!"

Chase and Michael looked at each other and simultaneously said, "I'm playing," then proceeded to get their envelopes.

Logan reached for an envelope, "It's not like I need the money, but what the heck? Winning will make me look good," he said with a smug smile.

"This looks like fun, doesn't this look like fun, this will be fun," Nicole said grinning.

Dana looked annoyed and decided, despite what Nicole thought, that this would _not_ be fun. She walked to the bleachers to sit and wait for her friends to finish their game. Zoey watched her walk away.

"I'm gonna go sit with Dana, maybe I'll play the next game," she told everyone not wanting Dana to be alone. She walked over to Dana and sat next to her. The man with the microphone began to speak.

"Ready, set, open your envelopes!" and the game began.

There were kids scattering in all directions as they read their three items. Chase left the gym doors with Michael, they were both cafeteria bound. Nicole headed toward the dorms. Logan walked up to a kid he didn't know and pulled the jacket right off his back, "I need to borrow this," he said before walking off, leaving the kid confused.

_One down, two to go, _he thought as he read the next item. He couldn't help but laugh when he saw what it said: a mirror. They were making this too easy. He patted his pocket to make sure his mirror was in place, which it was, and continued on to the third item. He looked at his paper and grinned, _I know EXACTLY where I can find this, _he thought.

Dana and Zoey were being rather quiet, watching everyone run around was kinda amusing. Then, out of the corner of her eye, Dana saw someone making a beeline straight towards her. Dana began to sit up so she wouldn't be bothered but she wasn't quick enough, Logan grabbed her wrist, "Oh no you don't Cruz, I'm not losing this game because of you."

"What do you mean? Lemme go, why do you need me?" she asked annoyed.

"Because," he said rolling his eyes, "this paper says I need someone I can't stand."

"Whatever, but now you owe me. I want half of whatever the prize was," she negotiated.

"I don't care about the prize; I just want the glory of being the winner."

Dana flicked his head and walked toward the table, Logan still holding her wrist and rubbing the sore spot on his head, was being dragged behind her. They were the first ones back, Logan handed the man his paper and placed the mirror and jacket on the table. The man read the items on the list then looked at the items on the table then his eyes moved to Dana.

Logan pointed to Dana, "This is my third item," he said, "now, give me my prize."

The man congratulated him and handed him the gift card, which he handed to Dana, "How about a congratulatory kiss?" he asked puckering his lips.

"Do you wanna get hit?" she asked putting the card in her pocket.

Logan stuck his tongue out at her and went off to gloat about winning. Dana rolled her eyes, _same old Logan,_ she thought. She looked down and noticed Logan's item list was sitting on the table so she read it over. When she noticed what the third object was she felt her cheeks get hot and bit her lip to hide her smile. Picking up the paper she put it in her pocket and walked back over to Zoey.

On the paper it read:

_Something to keep you warm_

_A mirror_

_Someone you think is beautiful_

I hope you liked it! I MIGHT make it a twoshot, depending on what people think of it. So review please!

Simple Together

Logan sat on his bed, looking blankly out the window. It was too quiet around here, and he had too much time to think. Chase and Michael were out hanging out with the girls in the Lounge. They'd asked him, but he hadn't been interested, said he'd stay in here. Alone.

A c.d lay on the top of a few books by the stereo. Not one of his, he'd have recognised it straight away. An Alanis Morissette c.d, hardly Michaels and not Chases. And the he remembered. Dana. She worshipped the music. He remembered comparing the angry-girl music to the angry girl Dana. This was some Best of c.d, she left it here accidentally. The day she'd come over when it was just the two of them. The day he'd realised how completely and madly in love he'd fallen with Dana. The day she told him she was leaving PCA for some French school. The day his heart had broken, for the first time.

He put on the cd, skipped a few tracks, and then let it play.

"_you've been my golden best friend_

_now with post-demise at hand_

_I can't go to you for consolation_

_cause we're off limits during this transition"_

Logan missed Dana like mad. She was all he thought about, in class, when he was hanging out with Chase and Michael, when he was half-heartedly flirting with other girls. Dana had taken a part of him to France with her, the part that made him his old self, and he couldn't do without it. He needed her, back here, with him in PCA.

"_this grief overwhelms me_

_it burns in my stomach_

_and i can't stop bumping into things"_

He thought of how they'd said goodbye, she'd hugged him close to her and said she'd miss him, for all his Logan ways. He had wanted to tell her then, that he was in love with her, but the words wouldn't come out, no matter how hard he tried.

"_i thought we'd be simple together_

_i thought we'd be happy together_

_thought we'd be limitless together_

_i thought we'd be precious together_

_but i was sadly mistaken"_

Logan sat back on the bed and pushed his hair away from his face, willing Dana to walk through the door and sit beside him. The day at the beach, when they'd got lost away from the PCA party, they'd talked. For ages, the to of them. They'd walked along that beach, talked properly for the first time since they'd got to Pca. He'd learned a lot about her that day. That she wasn't this sarcastic angst filled teenager and tahts it. She was so much more than that. He;d seen how beautiful she was in the most unsuperficial way and he loved that about her. A few days before she had to leave. Too little to late.

"_you've been my soulmate and then some_

_i remembered you the moment i met you_

_with you i knew god's face was handsome_

_with you i saw fun and expansion_

_this loss is numbing me_

_it pierces my chest_

_and i can't stop dropping everything"_

Tears started to pour down his cheeks, finally admitting to himself that she was gone, and without her, he was nothing. He needed Dana Cruz to be Logan, and without her, he was just this shadow of a guy who seemed to have everything he ever wanted. He did, except for the girl he loved, and his heart was breaking and nobody knew. He was Logan, he wasn't meant to have feelings, and he was this limitless robot who ran on flirting pointlessly and being a kind of an asshole. That's what Dana told him. She was mad at him one day, came out with that, He couldn't believe how true it was, he did seem like that. Without her, that was what he was.

_i thought we'd be sexy together_

_thought we'd be evolving together_

_i thought we'd have children together_

_i thought we'd be family together_

_but i was sadly mistaken_

He wiped away tears as the song played on, thinking all the while of her. The dance where they'd been partnered and he hadn't really cared, and wished he had now. The first day he'd met her, and when she'd whipped his ass at basketball. He'd loved her even then, and didn't realise it until now.

_if i had a bill for all the philosophies i shared_

_if i had a penny for all the possibilities i presented_

_if i had a dime for every hand thrown up in the air_

_my wealth would render this no less severe_

They'd kept in contact, a little. An email here and there. She loved it there, and he was keeping up this illusion of being the old Logan, everything was perfect, when to everyone else it so clearly wasn't. Even Quinn had realised it, and she was normally so captivated in her scientific crap she wouldn't notice much to do with him.

_i thought we'd be genius together_

_i thought we'd be healing together_

_i thought we'd be growing together_

_thought we'd be adventurous togheter_

_but i was sadly mistaken_

_thought we'd be exploring together_

_thought we'd be inspired together_

_i thought we'd be flying together_

_thought we'd be on fire together_

_but i was sadly mistaken_

Logan needed Dana Cruz more than he'd ever needed anyone in the world. She was his air, his life and now she was gone, he was slowly dying. He thought they'd be simple together, perfect together, but he was sadly mistaken.

1. Chapter 1

Slightly altered timeline: Taking place sometime during later years and accounting for Nicole's returning to PCA, but staying in another dorm room.

Switched
>Chapter One<p>

Atop the roof of one of the girl's dorms, Nicole, Zoey, and Lola sat back in reclined beach chairs, gazing through their sunglasses at the bright, beautiful sun. Zoey enjoyed the view of her tinted sunglasses that gave the constant impression of dusk. Lola gently rubbed her arms with sunscreen. "This is so nice," the Puerto Rican girl said.

"Yeah," Nicole replied, not looking away from the clear blue sky. "Hey, wasn't Quinn gonna come with us?"

"She said she was doing some experiments," Zoey answered, staring at the distant ocean. "Couldn't make it today. This is the fifth time she's done this."

"What's up with her, anyway?" Nicole asked, growing slightly annoyed. "All she cares about are those stupid experiments." The light brunette put her hands on the back of her head, letting out a sigh.

"She's just devoted," Lola explained. "Don't worry, she'll be done soon. You want me to see if she's ready?"

"No, I'll go," Nicole answered, getting up. Her pink bikini lined with dark blue strings glistened in the bright sunlight and over her lightly pale skin. Throwing a pink towel with the same blue design over the bottom part of her swimsuit, Nicole went to the dorm, approached Room 101, and knocked on its door. "Quinn," she called, pulling her sunglasses back so they carried her bangs atop her hair, which was pulled back in a chopped ponytail style. "Quinn, are you in there?"

"Yeah, I'm working on something," the inventor called back from her desk while observing a microscope.

"Didn't you wanna go swimming with us?" the brunette asked. "We can just keep tanning if you want."

"Sorry, Nicole, but I have a lot to do," Quinn replied. "Thanks for inviting me, though."

"...Why do you do these experiments, anyway?" Nicole finally gathered the nerve to say. "We could help you, or you could drop them for a little while...or do you just do it to be alone?" Quinn didn't answer. "You know, you're not gonna be able to shut everyone out forever..." Nicole departed, growing upset with herself.

Quinn looked up from her slides, and into the sky. A storm was coming, she knew. Nicole was wrong; she had to be. The Quinventions were never supposed to separate her from her friends. They're just fun...right?

"How's your tan going, Lola?" Zoey asked, letting the sun gently kiss her body. Unlike her friends, Zoey was only several degrees of tan and a couple of pounds away from being a gorgeous "beach bunny".

"Pretty good," Lola answered, feeling the rays hitting her body. Lola was naturally very thin, often wore her hair up and/or with different highlights and dyes. "It's starting to get kinda cold, though. I think it's gonna start storming pretty soon."

"Guess we should head in," Zoey replied, getting up. "Too bad Quinn never showed."

"More or less," Nicole declared, walking back over to the chairs. "Hey, Coco wants us inside."

"Just in time," Zoey responded, picking up her folded chair.

"Zoe," Lola said, looking at her friend's blue two-piece with a tutu-style flare-out around the hips. "I'm sorry, but you need a new swimsuit."

"What?" the blond replied, caught off guard.

"That bikini looks stupid on you since you got that tan," the Puerto Rican girl explained. "I'll take you shopping tomorrow."

"Random," Zoey summarized. "...Fine. You wanna come too, Nicole?"

"Sure," the brunette answered. "We'll make you look so hot." Suddenly, the rain began to pour down. "Come on. The guys won't be able to stand three soaking wet girls in swimsuits." Zoey and Lola chuckled, then ran for their dorm.

Meanwhile, Chase sat in the window sill, watching the rain pour down from the darkening sky. Gently strumming a sad tune on his guitar, the boy felt his emotions sink. Sure, he and Zoey had had their major overseas drama, but at the end of the day, what did it matter?

"Chase," Logan called out, breaking his friend's concentration.

"Huh? What?" Chase replied, caught off guard.

"You okay?" the rich boy asked, walking over to Chase with a concerned look on his face. "You've been moping all day."

"Fine," Chase answered, looking back out the window. "Just not in the mood to talk."

"Alright," a less-than-sensitive Logan replied. "I don't know what your problem is...You don't need a girlfriend to be happy."

"Said the guy who's dating Quinn Pensky as we speak," the curly-haired boy effortlessly retorted.

"Nah," Logan said, taking a seat. "We broke up last week. Said she needs to get her priorities straightened out, or...something."

"I'm sorry," Chase replied, feeling guilty. "Why didn't you tell anyone?"

"Not a big deal," the wealthy teenager answered, looking through his JPhone. "We're still friends. Hey, I'm goin' to town tonight. Need anything?"

"No," Chase answered, picking up his guitar, only to throw it down once Logan departed.

Back in Room 101, Zoey and Lola were sitting on the bottom bunk, talking about plans they had; the days they'd spend on the beach, the times they'd spend maybe doing the things they used to love, like painting or playing children's games like tag or red rover in the ocean. It was always Zoey, Nicole, and Dana. Sometimes Chase, Michael, and even Logan. Then, Dana had to move away, and it was Zoey, Nicole, and Lola. Quinn joined in a little later, often accompanied with Chase, Michael, and Logan. Finally, tragically, Nicole was forced to go to an all-girl school, letting Quinn replace her as dorm mate. It was great...until Quinn became so obsessed with her work. Maybe that's the way she was before they became friends, but it's way harder to deal with now.

"Quinn, whatter you working on?" Zoey asked, trying to get her friend involved.

"Just studying," the girl answered, giving only the wanted information. Maybe she knew by now no one really cared.

"You wanna take a break and hang out?" Lola offered. "It's summer, anyway."

"No, thanks," Quinn answered, not looking away from her slides. A bright, blue-hued flash of lightning illuminated the entire sky over Los Angeles.

"Whoa," Zoey commented.

"...Perfect," Quinn whispered. "I'm gonna get the storm on tape. See you later." The brunette ran out, her camera in hand, and her nighttime glasses on.

Nicole was leaning against the wall in the hallway, looking at the raging storm she was separated from through the window. Quinn ran by.

"Quinn," the light brunette called.

"Sorry, Nicky, but I can't talk now," Quinn quickly said. "I've gotta tape this storm."

"Wait!" Nicole called, grabbing the girl's arm. "I'm coming with you."

Realizing the lightning could end any second, Quinn gave in. "Alright, but hurry," she said, leading the way under the balcony on the sidewalk.

"We're not supposed to be outside," Nicole said.

"We'll be safe from here," the scientific girl replied without any trace of fear or emotion. "Help me set up my digital camera on the tripod, please." Nicole bent down, and began attaching the joints on the silver tripod legs. "Okay, now put that one into that slot, and..."

Suddenly, a massive orb of blue electricity flashed across the sky, engulfing the two girls, and the entire school. "Oh, I don't feel so good," Nicole said, having some trouble hearing and seeing.

"We weren't directly struck," Quinn replied, not recognizing the symptoms of electrocution in herself or Nicole. "Oh...let's get inside." The two departed without the camera, and went back to their dorms. Despite the fact that the electricity was out, this wasn't a problem.

The next morning, though the time wasn't obvious, due to the fact that all the electrical appliances (plugged in or not) were still refusing to function, the girls in Room 101 woke up feeling groggy.

"Oh man," Quinn moaned, noticing her voice sounded kind of off. "I feel like garbage."

"Me too," Zoey added. "I feel so bloated."

"I'm kinda out of it," Lola said, stretching her bitterly aching arms. "That storm was something else." The girl opened the shades, and gasped at what she saw.

"What?" Quinn asked, noticing that her and Zoey were the center of Lola's shock. The girl picked up Lola's compact, looked at herself, and gasped. "Oh my gosh..." Grabbing the ends of her long, bright brown hair, the girl looked at her more mature but slightly pudgy cheeks. "...I don't need my glasses," she whispered. "...I'm...Nicole!"

"What the..." Zoey began. "...Oh my gosh!" The girl ran for the bathroom, and screamed at the top of her enlarged lungs. Running back into the room, Zoey shared her horrifying realization. "I'm Coco!" the woman shrieked in a deeper, slightly squeaky voice. Throwing her curly, reddish hair outward, the girl felt herself begin to panic.

"Just relax..." Lola said, wanting everything to stay calm. "...Why am I still the same?"

"Wait..." Quinn/Nicole said, not noticing Lola's comment. "If I'm Nicole, then she must be..."

Quinn ran into the room, not wearing her glasses, and having her shorter, dark brown hair down to her neck. "What happened to me?" she screamed. "I'm like...nine years old!"

"Thank you," Quinn replied in Nicole's voice. "...That lightning that hit the school seems to have caused several of us to switch bodies."

"Well, that's great," Nicole replied in Quinn's voice, sitting down. "I have plans today...people who 'er expecting to see me...not Quinn."

"Look...just sit down and relax," Lola said, her voice comforting.

"If I sit down, I'll never get up," the now-overweight Zoey replied, hitting her bulging, expanded stomach, which was displayed by slightly tight clothing.

"Quinn, do you know that the lightning caused all this?" Lola asked, acting as the sole voice of reason.

"That's the only thing that could've effected the entire campus," the petite brunette explained, enjoying being able to see without her glasses. "It was an extremely unusual occurrence. That's why I wanted to film it...Oh, I forgot my camera."

"Forget the stupid camera!" Nicole screamed in Quinn's voice. "We have to find a way to cure this!"

"Tell me about it," Zoey added, looking at her permed hair in a mirror. "Oh, man...feel like I could eat out this school."

"Wonder if Coco's realized she's in your body yet," Lola replied.

"Was there any time when you and Coco were exposed to the lightning?" Quinn asked, moving the long hair out of her face.

"I don't think so," Zoey answered. "But the room we were in lit up really bright. Coco wasn't there, though."

"Look, we can't stay here all day," Nicole interrupted. "Quinn, you have to meet Vince at the beach."

"Okay," Quinn regretfully agreed. "Do you have any light dresses or something I can wear?"

"We're going swimming...so no," Nicole answered. "How's a pink bikini with blue flowers on it sound?" The girl pushed her body towards her dorm, adjusting to Quinn's more petite arms and glasses.

"Looks like swimsuit shopping is out," Lola said, trying to lighten the mood.

"I'll say," Zoey said, looking at Coco's body. "Oh, this is horrible...We have to find Coco. Who knows what she's doing to me."

"You should probably stay here," the thin girl replied. "I have some ideas where Coco is. 'Till then..." Lola ran out of the room.

Nicole sat Quinn down in a chair. "Okay," she said, rubbing the back of her head. "Even if you're not really me, you still need my look and style. Now...when you see Vince, whatter you gonna say?"

"Um...'hi'?" Quinn answered, not sure what to say. Quinn was never good with boys. Mark was the only one, and he had "friends" on the side most of the time.

"Not likely," Nicole replied. "Here...put on your bikini. I'll show you."

"I hadn't thought of this," Quinn said, looking at her/Nicole's body. "This may be awkward."

"So close your eyes," Nicole quickly replied. "Come on, we don't have long."

"Okay," Quinn snapped, pulling her sleeves back. Soon, the girl was standing awkwardly in Nicole's bikini, keeping her arms at her side.

Nicole's... pretty, she thought, looking at her new, very thin tummy that gently peaked outward down the center.

"Be a little less stiff," Nicole instructed, fluffing Quinn's hair in the back. "Now...pose."

"What?" Quinn asked, getting nervous.

"Do a pose," the dark-haired girl answered. "Lemme see if you know what you're doing."

"Know what I'm doing?" Quinn asked, squinting in utter confusion.

"If you know how to be...Nicole-Cute," Nicole explained. "You know, body language and all that."

Quinn nodded, flapped her arms out while thinking, then went into a dramatic pose: throwing her left arm on her left hip, throwing her right arm in the air while her hand dropped like the branches of a palm tree, and curving herself to the right side.

"...There is no way you can make that look natural," Nicole declared. "But wow. Here...try this one...you two are sitting in the sand. You wanna give him a look that says 'I know I'm hot, and I want you to see that.'"

"...Isn't that kinda...trampy?" Quinn asked, returning to a normal position.

"Not really," Nicole answered. "Now...lay down...but make it look sexy." Quinn shrugged her skinny shoulders, then lay down on her belly, crossed her legs, putting her right leg upward, then let her left arm hold up her head. The girl gave a confident, sexy wink. "Great!" Nicole declared. "Wow...you just need to be more confident...that's all."

"Kay," Quinn said, standing up. "Now...should I teach you how to act like me?"

"No offense...but you've been in your lab so long...do you even remember yourself?" Nicole asked, trying to be sensitive.

The cute brunette dropped her head and blushed a little. "I don't usually blush," Quinn confessed.

"Yeah, but I do," Nicole replied. "Don't worry...I'll take care of you." The two departed: Nicole sat down on her bed, and Quinn walked into the hallway. Several seconds later, the brunette returned. "I should probably wear a t-shirt or something over this," she said, realizing her mistake.
>Nicole sat down once Quinn left with her wrap, and looked at herself in the mirror. Quinn did have a rather young-looking face. All things considered, she was cute...Not hot. Nicole knew she could change that. Taking off her glasses, the girl noticed she could barely see. "Time to get contacts," Nicole said to herself as she put the black spectacles back over her eyes. Raising a makeup brush to her face, the girl began to apply blush to her cheeks.<p>

Switched

Chapter Two

The sound of her pink high heeled shoes gently echoed through the hallway as she walked forward. Her purple skirt gently flowed back and forth as she proudly proceeded to her destination. Flipping her dark blond hair to the side, the girl looked forward with her eyes exposed and lightly hued pink. As the lights of the hallway shined down, they reflected off the girl's glistening pink lips. Some people noticed her, and were taken back.

"Quinn?" asked Mark, feeling his heart start to pound.

"That's my name," the girl proudly answered, walking right past the boy, letting him continue to drool over her. _Quinn wasn't good enough before, she's not good enough now, _Nicole thought, pulling her purse back on her shoulder.

"Wow...you look great," Vince confessed, knowing how lucky he was to be with such a nice, sweet, pretty girl.

"Thanks," Quinn answered, taking a seat on the blanket, going out of her way to put her right leg forward, and her left leg arcing over it; a super-model pose, she thought. "Back at'cha." _Time to show how smart Nicole Bistrow can really be, _Quinn happily thought. "So..." Nicole said, leaning forward, wearing a sexy look on her face. "I saw you swimming earlier. Did you know you came into contact with one of the most infinite realms on earth?"

"Really?" Vince replied, leaning back, showing off his muscular, slightly tan body.

"Yeah," 'Nicole' answered, leaning in closer. "We know more about outer space than the oceans." Quinn began to feel how powerful and beautiful she was.

"That's...amazing," the boy replied, his breath fading into the mist.

"So...wanna dive into the unknown?" Quinn invited, her voice almost in a whisper.

"Only if you're with me," Vince answered, no longer able to keep a smile off his face. Nicole smiled, and then took her soon-to-be lover's hand. Together, the two ran towards the shimmering water, kicking up gentle clouds of sand behind them.

Harmonically, the teens jumped into the ocean, feeling the cool embrace on their bodies. Gasping for air, the two shot out of the water, their hair soaked and gently clinging to their faces. "Wow," Nicole exclaimed, gazing into Vince's warm eyes.

"Wow..." the boy replied, no longer able to appear cool. Vince put his arms around Nicole's back, feeling her smooth stomach. Slowly, the two began to lean in closer, ready for something they knew was coming.

_Wait...what am I doing? _Quinn asked herself, growing uneasy. _I can't kiss Nicole's boyfriend...I'm not into this kind of...romance. Oh, this is so wrong...He's touching me...Oh..._ Vince's lips were cool and glistening with droplets from the ocean. They felt so magical; nothing like what Mark offered. This was him being blown away by her, and vice-versa.

'Quinn' walked into her classroom, where she was scheduled to test some chemicals. Unfortunately, Nicole had no idea about what any of them did. "Not good," she said. "...Eh." Nicole pulled out a stool, and began painting Quinn's nails. It was a lovely shade of purple; like the kind Quinn wore when she first arrived at PCA. "Wonder why she never wears makeup anymore," she said to herself. "She looked hot in that picture Logan had..."

"Um, Quinn?" nervously greeted Jake, a blond teenager with some interests in science.

"Hey," Nicole replied, looking up from her nails. "What's up?"

"Um, I was reading over some of your notes, and I just wanted to tell you...You're amazing," the boy continued.

"Thanks," the dark-haired girl replied. "I try."

"Um, could...I, um...hug you?" Jake asked, his heart pounding.

"Uh...okay," Nicole answered, sounding confused. The boy slowly walked over to Quinn, put his arms out, and pressed against her, only to be pushed out by an unseen force. "Whoa," Nicole declared, looking at her now-massive breasts.

"Wow...Um, I'll, um... see you later," Jake said before running away.

"Bra airbag, I take it," Nicole said, still staring at her bosoms. "Hmm."

Meanwhile, Zoey lay on her bed, feeling her poofy, overly-curled hair. _I feel like a poodle, _she thought. _And the worst part is...I could really go for a double ham sandwich. Hope Lola tracks down Coco soon._

Lola quickly walked down the hallway. "Have you seen Zoey?" she asked a random girl.

"No, I'm sorry," the girl answered before continuing on her way.

"Have you seen Zoey Brooks?" Lola asked another girl. As if offended, the girl kept walking. "Have you seen Zoey?"

"Yeah, she's raiding the refrigerator," answered a redheaded girl with a Spider-Man suit on.

"Why are you...Nevermind, thanks," Lola replied before charging down to the cafeteria. _Zoey's gonna kill me if I don't stop Coco._ The Puerta Rican girl took a deep breath, then entered the cafeteria, closing the door behind her. "Um...Zoey?" she asked.

"What?" Zoey's voice called back, sounding muffled. Lola walked over to the freezer in the front of the girl's cafeteria. Lola walked over to Coco, and saw her friend laying against the freezer, her lips red with some kind of sauce, and her stomach bloated out of her shirt.

"Wow, Zoey...you must be...tired after all that...eating," Lola replied. "Here, lemme take you back to our dorm."

"Um, I don't know, I'm kinda..." Coco began to answer.

"There's more food there," the girl interrupted. Zoey held her hand out for Lola to take.

Nicole lay next to Vince on the beach, letting the sun kiss her body. "I really like hanging out with you, Vince," Quinn said, her voice sweet.

"Me too," Vince replied, gazing into Nicole's devastating eyes. "Um...do you wanna...catch a movie tomorrow night?"

"Yeah, sure," Quinn answered. "Cool. Oh, I gotta get going...Kiss goodbye?" Vince smiled, and gave Nicole another kiss.

That night, Nicole walked into Room 101, clad in her bikini. "That was nice," she said, completely forgetting about her wrap.

"Not too nice, I hope," Nicole replied, walking out of the shower, clad in a towel. Her dark brown hair was wet and tasseled. "So...will we see each other again?"

"Oh, I think so," Quinn answered, grabbing a brush and combing out her wet hair. "We were invited to a movie tomorrow night."

"Awesome," Nicole replied, spraying some perfume into Quinn's underarms. "Thanks, Quinn."

"...Yeah," the intelligent girl guiltily said, sitting down on a footstool. "Oh, how did my day go?"

"Great," Nicole answered, puckering her lips and applying some red lipstick. "In fact...you're gonna be going on a date tomorrow, too."

"What?" Quinn snapped, jumping up.

"Calm down, Bikini Girl," Nicole replied. "Some guy named Zeke saw me in the science lab, said he loved my report on the discovery of the atom, and asked to take me to a movie tomorrow. Maybe we can double date."

"Why would you agree to something like that without my permission?" Quinn replied.

"Would you rather I turned him down?" Nicole shot back. "...That's not how I talk."

"...And I didn't act like myself on that date," Quinn added. "I felt like...like I really was you."

"And I usually hate that purple nail polish you used to wear," the dark-haired girl continued. "...Oh my gosh."

"We're turning into each other," Quinn shrieked. "...Where's Zoey?"

"Her body's locked in the bathroom," Nicole answered. "Her respective mind is currently...I mean, the real her's in the kitchen with Lola."

"We're back," Lola said, walking in with Coco's body. "Wow, Zoes, you really binged out."

"Can you blame me?" Zoey replied. "My...he left me again."

"Who?" Lola asked. "...You're not acting like yourself."

"And I fear it may be that way forever," Nicole declared, her voice growing grave. "I must...I mean, Quinn has to find an antidote."

"Well, what am I supposed to do?" Quinn replied, her voice picking up a sassy tone. "My camera's gone."

"Then we have to find that camera before we lose Zoey," Lola said, her tone growing grave. "This looks like it's getting worse by the minute."

"...She didn't make me fat, did she?" Zoey asked, seemingly back to herself for the time being.

"It's a cute kind of fat," Lola answered. "I'm gonna find the camera. You guys stay right here." The girl ran out of the room.

"This is bad," Quinn confessed, starting to comb out her long brown locks. "Oh...I need a hot oil treatment."

"How can you obsess over your appearance at a time like this?" Nicole demanded. "Our consciousness are being permanently misappropriated. If we don't stop it, we might lose ourselves forever."

"Bummer," a less than enthused Zoey replied, laying down on her bed.

"Who's gonna watch this new X-Men movie?" Chase asked, turning off the t.v.

"Chase, have you seen a camera outside by the girl's dorm?" Lola asked, running into the room.

"No, I'm sorry," the boy answered. In despair, Lola ran back outside. _Maybe Stacey saw it, _she thought.

"You know, I never knew how stressed you were," Nicole said, looking over at Quinn. "I mean...you feel like you're carrying the world."

"And you only feel good about yourself when other people think you should," Quinn replied.

"And Coco cares way too much about having a boyfriend," Zoey added. "That's why she overeats so much...to fill the void she made for herself."

"And Zoey needs to get more in touch with her emotions," Coco called out. "It's like sifting through a jungle in your head. What is it with you and Chase, anyway?"

"Just go to sleep," Zoey called back, only to find her friends looking at her; thinking the same thing as Coco. "...It's complicated."

"Are you sure you haven't seen it?" Lola asked, her tone growing frantic.

"I'm shorry, Lola," Stacey said. "I haven't sheen any kind of camera. The electricity jusht turned back on a few hours ago."

Lola heard the roar of thunder above her, and looked up to see a similar storm raging above her. "...The storm...the electricity...I've got it!" The Puerta Rican girl ran outside.

"Lola, wait!" Stacey called, giving chase. Soon, the two were outside, and witnessed a bolt of lightning strike mere feet away from them. The two screamed, then found themselves laying next to their bodies on the floor.

"Oh, man," Lola moaned, feeling herself fighting a lisp.

Chapter Three

Lola walked inside, looking over her new body. _I hate this, _she thought. _Man, I'm going nuts in this body!_

"Wow, I look...pretty," Stacey said with Lola's voice. "You sure we have to switch back?"

"Yesh I'm shure," Lola answered, fighting with the lisp. "Man, how can you shtand thish?"

"It's not easy," Stacey answered, enjoying being tall, model-thin, and able to speak clearly. "So...what's the plan?"

"Okay, we need to re-introduce the shwitched people to the shtorm, and ushe the exact shame amount of electricity as before," the girl explained. "Unfortunately, my camera sheems to have been used to switch the two of ush...and we only have sho long before our pershonalities shtart to switch."

"So, who has a camera like yours and Quinn's?" Stacey asked.

"...Maybe Logan does," Lola dreamily replied before catching herself. "Um...I think Zoey does. I'll ashk her onshe we get back to my dorm." The two continued walking. "Oh, ishn't Logan sho shpicey?"

"...Not really," Stacey answered, growing confused. "Besides, he doesn't even really like you...or me." Growing uncomfortable, the girls remained silent until they entered Room 101.

"We're home!" Lola yelled out, even though she sounded like a spaz. "I mean...guysh, we're back."

"Stacey, whatter you doing here?" asked Quinn, putting on some blush.

"It'sh not really Stashey, it'sh me, Lola," Lola explained.

"Yeah, I'm Stacey," Stacey said, putting her hand on her hip in a supermodel pose.

"Great," Zoey complained, fluffing out her hair.

"Have you realized how to reverse the effects of the storm?" Nicole asked, looking away from her microscope.

"Thish is getting sherious," Lola declared, her goofy voice growing grave. "Um, yesh I did. We have to get a camera of equal electricity...or any electrical source...and we have to do it before the shtorm pashes."

"Well, let's hurry," Zoey shrieked, jumping up, causing her stomach to jiggle up and down. "I do _not_ wanna be stuck like this forever!"

"Same here," Coco called out from the bathroom.

"I'm gonna miss being hot," Quinn said, only to get a weirded-out look from Nicole.

"Let'sh hurry!" Lola yelped, grabbing Zoey's camera off the nightstand. "Come on, let'sh get out there!" Quinn let Zoey's body out of the closet. The six charged outside, letting the rain pour down on them.

"There's several bolts approaching," Nicole declared. "I mean...here it comes!"

"Hey, Zoey!" Chase yelled, running towards the group. "I need to talk to you!"

"No!" the girls yelled. A bolt of lightning struck, and the teenagers (and Coco) awoke in the grass.

"I'm me again!" Coco exclaimed, looking at her mature, slightly flabby arms.

"Wish I could say the same," Lola said, standing up in Quinn's body.

"No," Zoey gasped, seeing Nicole's hands in front of her face. "No...we're stuck like this now!"

Stacey held out a lock of her now-blond hair, and looked at her hands. Quinn looked down at her masculine body, and felt her curly hair. Chase looked at the skirt he was now wearing. "Thish ish really weird," he said.

"This is horrible!" Nicole screamed, throwing Lola's fists down in rage.

"Um, if you don't need me..." Coco said before walking away.

"Ah, everything's ruined!" Quinn exclaimed.

"Is there any chance the storm's not over yet?" Stacey asked, feeling a natural sense of hope.

"I'm afraid, even if the storm isn't over...lightning never strikes twice," Lola answered. "We may be stuck like this forever."

"...Guysh, I'm shorry," Chase said, her voice growing grim. "I...don't know what'sh going on, but I know I messed it all up again.

"Does anyone else have a camera?" Zoey asked, fluffing her hair in the back.

No one answered. Suddenly, a sense of despair entered the air. Quinn lifted up her arm, and looked at the hair under them.

"Maybe I can still star in movies," Lola said, trying to be hopeful. "Thanks for helping us, Stacey." Stacey nodded.

"I'm sorry about all this, guys," Quinn confessed. "If I hadn't tried to take that stupid picture, we'd still be ourselves."

"It's not your fault," Zoey replied.

"Maybe this'll be fun," Nicole suggested. "I mean...I could dig being a model."

"...Wait a minute," Quinn said, going back to her own mind. "Lola, give me your phone." Nicole pulled Lola's phone out of her pocket, and gave it to the boy. "Okay, maybe it wasn't the electricity...yes! These are lithium batteries! The lithium reacted with the lightning!"

"Meaning?" Zoey asked, her tone becoming that of a valley girl.

"Here," Quinn answered, throwing the batteries into the air.

"I see..." Lola said. "The exposure to the rain will cause a surge of electricity in the still-charged batteries, creating a conductor!"

"Everyone, stand by the body you want back!" Stacey called out, taking Chase's hand. The teens joined hands, and suddenly felt a surge of lithium-infused energy coursing through them. With a flash, the group awoke.

Nicole sat up, her brown hair puffed into a giant ball. "Wow," she said, in her own voice.

"I'm a guy again!" Chase happily exclaimed.

"My lishp is back!" Stacey cheered.

"Back in blond," Zoey added. Lola and Quinn looked at one another. "We're back," they said.

"This was something else," Chase exclaimed. "Um...maybe I should go."

"Didn't you have something to tell me?" Zoey asked, stopping the boy.

"Um...I missed you," the boy confessed. "Could...we shoot for being friends again?"

"...Yeah," Zoey answered. "I care about you...I think I need you as a friend."

"That means the world to me," Chase said, feeling things becoming the way they used to be.

"I think those two have it," Quinn said.

"What?" Nicole asked.

"It is lonely being a full-time scientist," the dark-haired girl explained. "...I should really get back to my friends...and my life. Thanks for helping me see that, Nicole."

"And thanks for helping me realize I'm more than other people's opinion," the brunette added. "Which reminds me...we have dates in a couple of minutes." The two smiled at one another.

Stacey and Lola stood by one another. "Need a speech teacher?" Lola asked, ready to take the place of Lionel in The King's Speech.

"Or maybe jusht a friend," Stacey replied with a smile.

"I guess...when it comes down to it...There's no one we'd rather be than ourselves," Zoey summarized, not meaning to sound campy.

"I'll second that," Quinn replied. "In my own heartbeat. Oh, but Nicole...I have a confession."

"What?" asked Nicole.

"...I kissed your boyfriend," Quinn answered.

"...As long as you were me when you did it, I don't care," Nicole finally said.

"So...what will become of the girl who Coco made pudgy?" Zoey asked, rubbing her enlarged tummy.

"She was considered full-figured, and made a perfect beach bunny?" Lola suggested. "Once her dearest friend helped her pick out a new swimsuit?"

"Sounds good to me," Zoey answered.

One last bolt of lightning flashed in the sky above, tearing through the last cloud in the heavens. A beautiful, crimson sunset shined down on PCA.

"Looks like it's clearing up," Chase summarized.

"True," Quinn said, knowing where her true place was; with friends. However, science would always light up her life.

_Fantastic Deleted Scenes_

Zoey stood in front of a full-length mirror, clad in a tight pink one-piece that showed every curve in her body. "I don't know," she said. "Isn't it kinda...snug?"

"Nah, you look cute," Lola assured her friend. "Don't you think so, Quinn?"

"Um, try this one on..." Quinn suggested, giving Zoey a swimsuit she picked out.

"...No way," the blond announced, looking at her hair pulled back ina complex fashion, and the green one-piece that flared out like a tutu around her waist.

Zoey leaned forward in front of a mirror, clad in a red one-piece that looked like it came off of Baywatch. However, her enlarged stomach was still bulged out, making a most unattractive modeling show. "I'm gonna kill you, Coco," she said.

"Hold still," Lola said, growing impatient.

Zoey coughed and waved her hand to block the spray tan Lola was spraying on her. "Ah," the blond said once it was done. "...I look like JWow."

A Special Night

**I thought this would make a cute scene in the movie **_**Chasing Zoey **_**(which airs tomorrow :) So here's **_**A Special Night.**_

**Disclaimer: I do not own Zoey 101 or the songs **_**The Math **_**or **_**Love Will Find a Way.**_

"Quinn. Quinn! QUINN!" Zoey shouted, trying to get her friend's attention. Quinn snapped out of her trance like state.

"Wh-What? Did you call me?" asked Quinn.

"Yeah," said Zoey, "Your dripping acid on the table." It was true. Quinn was working on her latest experiment and, while spacing off, payed no attention to the acid burning a hole through the table.

"Quinn what's wrong?" asked Lola, concerned, "It's not you to space out while doing an experiment."

"It's nothing," said Quinn, although something was bothering her. Prom was tomorrow and Quinn wanted to go with Logan, but couldn't in fear that people would know they woud dating. Quinn kept daydreaming about what it would be like if they went to prom together.

"Quinn?" Zoey asked as Quinn got a far off look in her eyes.

"I think we lost her," said Lola. Suddenly Quinn's ringtone, _The Math _by Hilary Duff_, _began playing from her purse. Quinn snapped out of her daydream and grabbed her cell phone.

"Hello," she said into it.

"Hey Quinn," came Logan's voice from the other end.

"Hi," said Quinn, with a small smile.

"Can you come to my dorm?" Logan asked, "I've got a surprise for you."

"Sure," said Quinn, "I'll see you in a few minutes."

"Okay," said Logan, "Oh, and bring your prom dress." A confused look crossed Quinn's face.

"Why?" she asked.

"Just trust me, okay," Logan, "I'll see you soon."

"Bye," Quinn said, hanging up the phone.

"Who was that?" Lola asked.

"Ummm, Micheal," Quinn lied, "He needs help with some chemistry homework. So I'm just gonna head over there and help."

"Okay," said Zoey, "Have fun." Quinn gave them a smile and went over to her closet. How could she get her prom dress without Zoey and Lola seeing? Suddenly, she had an idea.

"Oh, my God! A rat!" Quinn screamed, pointing to a spot on the other side of the room. While Zoey and Lola screamed in panic, Quinn grabbed her prom dress and shoes and raced out the door. The poked her head back in to say, "Sorry. It was just a dust bunny." And left. On her way to the boys dorm, Quinn wondered why Logan called her and told her to bring her prom dress. She was still pondering this when she knocked on the door of the boys dorm."

"Who is it?" came Logan's voice from the other side.

"Me," said Quinn.

"Come in," said Logan. Quinn opened the door and stepped into the room and looked around in surprise and confusion. The room looked different. The lights were dimmed and there were candles burning on the table, emitting sweet scents. Music was playing from Logan's iPod on the shelf. Logan himself was standing in the middle of the room wearing a black tuxedo with a white shirt and metallic blue tie.

"Logan, what's going on?" Quinn asked, closing the door behind her.

"I figured since we can't go to prom together," Logan said, "We could have our own private prom. And don't worry. James and Micheal should be playing basketball for a couple more hours, so no one will come in on us."

"Logan, that's so sweet," Quinn said, hugging her boyfriend.

"I'll get out so you can get changed," he said. Logan left the room and Quinn changed into her prom dress with matching blue sparky high-heeled sandals. She folded her other clothes and placed them on the couch.

"Okay, I'm ready," she said. Logan came back into the room and his jaw dropped to the floor. Quinn looked gorgeous in her sparkly blue dress.

"Do you like it?" Quinn asked nervously.

"Yeah," said Logan, closing the door behind him and locking it so no one would walk in on them, "Alot." Quinn smiled shyly. Logan bowed to her.

"May I have this dance?" he asked. Quinn giggled.

"Yes, you may," she said. Logan wrapped his arms wround Quinn's waist while Quinn wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Better than dancing in a janitor's closet?" Logan asked. Quinn laughed at the memory.

"Much better," she said. The two of them swayed along to the song:

_In a perfect world_

_One we've never known_

_We would never need to face the world alone_

_They can have the world_

_We'll create our own_

_I may not be brave or strong or smart_

_But somewhere in my secret heart_

_
I know_

_Love will find a way_

_Anywhere I go, I'm home_

_If you are there beside me_

_Like dark, turning into day_

_Somehow we'll come through_

_Now that I've found you_

_Love will find a way_

"Why do you have this song on your iPod?" Quinn asked, curious why her boyfriend had a Disney song on her iPod.

"I just downloaded it today," Logan said, "It reminded me of us." Quinn smiled at him and rested her head on his shoulder, sighing contently:

_I was so afraid_

_Now I've realized_

_Love is never wrong, and so it never dies_

_There's a perfect world, shining in your eyes_

Quinn lifted her head from Logan's shoulder. Logan looked into Quinn's beautiful brown eyes and couldn't help but smile. When he first met Quinn, she just seemed like a weird science geek. But he got to know her and see her for the beauty she really was. She a hundered times better than any other girlfriend he ever had. Quinn had both brains and beauty. To Logan, she was perfect. It was funny, how life could turn out in a way you least expect it to:

_And if only they could feel it to_

_The happiness I feel with you_

_They'd know_

_Love will find a way_

_Anywhere we go, we're home_

_If we are there together_

_Like dark, turning into day_

_Somehow we'll come through _

_Now that I've found you_

_Love will find a way_

_I know love will find a way_

"Logan, thank you so much for this," Quinn said with a wide smile. Logan smiled back.

"Anything for my girl," he said, leaning down to kiss her lips softly. When they broke apart, Quinn put her head back on Logan's shoulder and closed her eyes, sighing in contentment. Logan kissed the top of her head and the two of them swayed, not to the music, but to the melody in their hearts.

**I know the ending was kinda corny, but I couldn't resist :) Please Review!**

A Special Night by MoonlightSpirit


1. Chapter 1

Chase sat on the floor breathing heavily with both of his hands in tight fists. He had just admitted he was in love with Zoey Brooks but she was not there like he ahd imagined. Zoey was in England with both of her parents at a new school. She propbably already met some charming brown hair brown eyed boy with a cool british tongue. She and her new roomates were probably squeeling over this boy and talking about him. Chase was probably nowhere in her mind.

His fists clenched tighter. His teeth gritted and one single tear fell down his face. Zoey Brooks was the only girl, no woman he had ever loved and now she was gone. The worst part was he let her go. She was like water the day she left, he could have stopped her but she slid away. Chase's breathing grew faster as more andmmore tears fell from his red face. He hugged his body to make himself warm and he soon began to sweat. However he was colder than ever.

Chase Mathews never cried and yet his tears turned into sobs. He cried out to the person he wished to see most. She did not come, she never would. The boy who sat in the middle of his dorm rose to his feet and walked over to his cd player. He turned on a song that would not improve his mood. Sometimes sad music is just what you need though. The song began to ring

One boy, one girl, two hearts, their world Time goes by, secrets rise One more, sad song, tears shed, she's gone She'd take it back, if she only could

And all the perfect words they seem so wrong,
She's gone You wish that you could learn to see,
The door is closed and you wish you could be

Alone with you, alone with me What can I do, I cannot breathe My heart is torn, for all to see Alone with you, alone with me.

Best friend, worst thing, she's been, cheating Friend deceives, she leaves Last date. She cries, whispers, goodbye She walks once more, out that door

And all the perfect words they seem so wrong,
She's gone You wish that you could learn to see,
The door is closed and you wish you could be

Alone with you, alone with me What can I do, I cannot breathe My heart is torn, for all to see Alone with you, alone with me.

Please stay, don't go away The hardest thing is letting go of you Please stay, don't go away The hardest thing is letting go of you what can I do?

Alone with you, alone with me, what can I do?
I cannot see, alone with, alone with, alone with you, alone with me, what can I do? I cannot breathe, my heart is torn for all to see, alone with you, alone with me

Chase fell back on the floor and cryed.

-------------------Zoey in England-----------------------

Zoey had just saw Chase say he loved her. She would never say it but she felt the same way. This young girl sat at her computer and turned on he cd player to listen to a song that explained what she was feeling so perfectly

You fold his hands, and smooth his tie., You gently lift his chin- Were you really so blind, and unkind to him?

Can't help but itch, to touch, to kiss,
To hold him once again. Now, to close his eyes, never open them...?

A shadow passed, A shadow passed,
Yearning, yearning for the fool it called a home.

All things he never did are left behind; All the things his Mama wished he'd bare in mind;
And all his Dad had hoped he'd know.

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

The talks you never had, the Saturdays you never spent,
All the "grown-up" places you never went;

And all of the crying you wouldn't understand,
you just let him cry-"Make a man out of him.
A shadow passed, a shadow passed,
Yearning, yearning for the fool it called a home.

All the things he ever wished are left behind;
All the things his Mama did to make him mind;
And how his Dad had hoped he'd grow.

All things he ever lived are left behind;
All the fears that ever flickered through his mind;
All the sadness that he'd come to own.

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh (2x)
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

A shadow past, a shadow past,
Yearning, yearning for the fool it called a home.

And, whistles through the ghosts still left behind.
It whistles through the ghosts still left behind.
It whistles through the ghosts still left behind...Oh, Oh She knew she would never see himn again and somehow hope for Zoey Brooks was still there. Maybe just maybe she would see him again.

Should I continue? I had a really big test so I couldn't update sorry but uppdates will come soon oh and review ;) thanx

	2. Chapter 2

Logan Reese never cared for anyone's feelings beside his own but even then showing feeling made you weak. He was brought up only to care about himself and that whoever says they are your friends are lying. People never come through with what they say they are going to do. He knew this first hand because when he was five his mother and father got into a fight and she left. Of course she sent cards on holidays but it wasn't enough.

I know what you are all thinking what does this have to do with Zoey and Chase? Everything. Logan could not help feeling horrible for Chase because Chase had finally said somethinh they all knew he wanted to. It wasn't the way Chase had pictured though and Logan knew it. Logan's eyes were watery like the day his mommy left.

-----Flashback-----

"Mommy you and Daddy can go out to dinner. You'll make the cut all better I know it! Cause Daddy always says that cuts toughen you up."

"Logan honey I'm just going to visit grandma for a little while. I'll be back and we will talk every day. Your my best friend babe."

"You promise me, Mommy? I love you 3 much." it was a game they played. You would give numbers until someone said I loved you none much, as a joke of course.

"I love you 5 billion much." and with that she walked out the door. Little Logan Resse didn't understand why she never said I love you none much. He finally got it though, she didn't have to. She meant she loved him none much or she would have come back.

-----End Flashback----

Logan never wanted to get close to anyone anymore. It hurt way to much to feel, to cry, and to love. So when his best friend Chase began to cry he couldn't be so vunerable. It was way to hard to love and to comfort Chase. Chase Mathews although very emotional and weak was much stronger than Logan. He could do something Logan couldn't, feel.

-----Chase-----

Hugging his body close to him made his body even colder. He didn't want to feel he didn't want to live. Just out of the corner of his eye he saw a silver object. It was Logan's pocket knife. That knife looked so good at that moment. Chase picked it up and raised it to his throat, he whispered something so soft it was unhearable to the common ear. He said,"For the love lost." and...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Author's Note-
You must all really hate me right now but I haven't decided to finish chase off or not so you all decide. if i don't get reviews i will kill him for sure so review. 3 ;)

	3. Chapter 3

Chase raised the blade to his throat. So many thoughts when to his head before he made the final cut. About his life,, his love, his family. Dammit. Chase put the blade down to write something to them. He couldn't depart without saying goodbye.

In life people must do many hard things but saying goodbye is the hardest. Chase could not say goodbye to Zoey and he regreted it. So he knew before he stopped his time he should take some time for all to know. He walked over to the desk and picked up a pen and paper and began to write...

Dear Friends And Family,
I write this letter to you because personally I know how hard it is to lose a loved one without saying goodbye. This letter is not meant to be an end but instead a begining. I wish to start a new because I do not see the point to live anymore. Why, do you ask? Zoey Brooks. I'm in love with her.Do not think I am to young to know what love is. I do know what love is, I feel it all of the time or I did before she left. My love for her is like a well... I can't really say some sappy love thing because that wouldn't explain it. Every time she walked in the room my chest grew heavy like I coudn't contain my heart. It wasn't mine, not anymore Before I leave you all I have to tell some of you some things.
Mom and Dad. I love you I really do but I can't live like this not ever. You both were always right by the way. About me staying up all night to play my guitar. So go on and say it. I told you so or I knew it or both, whatever. One more thing don't be mad at Zoey. It isn't her fault, it's mine.
Be mad at me, please. Goodbye.
Michael. Hey man, what's up? I ... I'll miss you. Your like my brother from another motha. If that makes sense and I love you to man. I will come back and haunt you though if you touch my laptop. Sorry dude, forgive me.
Logan. Damn, what can I say to you. First off your rude and obnixous. Secondly you really piss me off when you flirt with Zoey. Most importantly your one of my best friends. I do not know why you just are. Don't hit on Zoey if you ever see her again by the way. Goodbye.
Lola. A round of applause for the greatest actress in the world but more importantly the greatest friend in the world. You were a great person and you knew that I loved Zoey, So I'm guessing your smart too. I'll miss you.
Quinn. Don't try to bring me back because I know somehow you can. I'm happier this way, really. You have to understand the pain was to much for me. Cure cancer or something like that instead. Peace.
Zoey. In one life time most people do not believe in something so strongly to end their life for it. However, I met you. I fell in love with you and being friends was enough, for a while. I grew impatient over time and every guy you dated I wanted to strangle. You were happy and no matter how many times my heart ripped and teared I let you be happy. Because your smile was all I needed. I love you! I love you! You do not know how often I say that. Do not feel bad for me because I know you do not trully love me the way I do. Just being friends is you motive. So to end my letter and life I end with this.
Time we do not always have but instead we have moments. I have many good moments so I think my time should halt. I'll miss you all.
Love Chase

Chase put down the pen and floded the letter in his hand. He raised the blade once more and with one qiuck movement...

-
Author's Note Cliff Hanger! Bum Bum Bum. I'm still not sure if I'm gonna kill Chase so maybe some reviews could point me in the right direction.

	4. Chapter 4

Author's Note- Okay Chase is coming back on the show so now I CAN UPDATE! Also I have decided weither or not to kill Chase and you'll find out in this chapter. Read to find out LIVE OR DIE!

A tear fell from Zoey's face. It dripped down on to her black dress. The dress wrinkled at the touch of water.

A white coffin began to descend into the ground as the priest said some words about the deceased. However, she didn't care. All she heard was a breif ringing in her ear. She could not believe that the person she loved so much was dead. He had died while he was in the states and she couldn't even say good-bye. Zoey began to remember...

"Chase loves me! Chase loves me! He loves me! I can't believe it!" Zoey spun around her room happily. Then her phone began to ring. She picked it up and all she heard was Dustin crying in the phone.

"Zoey..." he said but couldn't finish.

"Dustin. What is it?" she said trying to comfort her brother.

"He died. He died Zoey. I saw him! It was terrible. I've never been so upset in my life."

She caught her breath. Who had died that made Dustin so upset? "Dustin who died? You need to answer me!" she began to cry. Zoey knew it could have been anyone.

"He was so young and had so much more to do with his life. To die the way he did is just horrible. Zoey he was so pale. You need to come back to PCA.
I'm so upset. I need you here."

His words all became a blur, "Dustin who died?"

"Grandpa Daniels. He was my favorite grandfather. He was always so energetic. Granddad was hit by a car. You need to come back."

"I'll be home soon Dustin. I need to call someone."

"Bye Zoe. Please be home soon."

"Okay. Love you and be strong until I get there." Zoey hung up her phone.

Her knees finally gave in and she began to cry. She loved her Granddad. A pink cellphone was the only thing Zoey needed at that moment and so she grapped her phone.

"I would like one ticket to Californa please."

-Five Hours Later-

Zoey ran to Chase's dorm room. She neded him to hold her in her hour of need. The door to his dorm flung open with the force of her arm.
"Chase I need to..."

Zoey stopped dead in her tracks. The sight before her made her forget completly about her grandfather. Chase stood before her getting ready to slit his neck with a knife to kill himself.

He opened his eyes and saw Zoey. The knife fell out of his hands (A.N.- your welcome). One word escaped his lips "Zoey."

He ran over to her and engulfed her in a hug. "Oh my god. Zoey I thought I would never see you again. And then I thought a life without you is no life at all. Here you are though and now I can't believe I was that stupid and gods I love you. I'm sorry it took me so long to say. But, I love you with all my heart and now you think I'm crazy so you won't even waqnt to be friends and..."

Zoey slapped his shoulder," You scared me! Don't ever do that again. I love you and I would die without you. Don't leave me. Do you understand?"

Chase nodded and opened his mouth to speak but something wouldn't let him, Zoey's lips.

That memory for Zoey was one of the scariest and best memory's that she carried with her. She looked down at her grandfather and silently blessed him.
For if Zoey did not come home for her grandfather she would be without Chase forever. At the same time she was filled with feelings of saddness for she wished her grandfather was with her right now.

Two large hands wrapped theor way around her waist hugging her from behind. Chase belonged to the arms. zoey turned around and faced him. He lowered his lips on hers.

Then Chase whispered in her ear, "I'd die without you."

Dismantled by the Dolphins

A/N: This is my entry for the April Zoey 101 Fan Challenge at LJ. I own nothing

**Dismantled by the Dolphins
**Without Blake, others, Stingrays fall in state championship game 56-10

By Phil Savitt
Sports Editor, Daily Stingray

The dream season for the PCA football team ended this past weekend with a thud, ending a hectic week, one of the worst in program history.

Without star quarterback Vince Blake, kicked off the team and suspended indefinitely from PCA due to cheating, many other key players, who were involved it a fight because Blake was turned in for cheating, suspended as well, and two other players out due to injury trying to protect their friend in that fight, the PCA Stingrays were crushed by the Dolphins of Bay City Academy out of San Diego 56-10 Saturday afternoon at the California Academy Football State Championship Game held at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.

"Our kids, most of which are starters, made stupid mistakes earlier in the week that prevented them from playing in this game. We had to start kids, that while talented, who were inexperienced at playing at such a high level and that killed us from the beginning," said head football coach Ron Thompson.

The week started with junior Chase Matthews catching Vince Blake taking pictures of the answers to a test they were scheduled to have later in the week. Matthews turned Blake in; Blake was kicked off the team and suspended from school. Angry teammates of Blake's then got into a fight with Matthews and fellow juniors Mark Del Figgalo, Michael Barrett, and Logan Reese, the latter two also being football players who started on both offense and defense for the Stingrays. In all twenty two Stingrays were out for the game, Barrett and Reese due to their injuries, and twenty others who started the fight with Matthews, Del Figgalo, Barrett, and Reese.

With Blake, Barrett, the teams best running back, Reese, the teams best wide receiver, two other starting wide receivers, and four of the five starting offensive linemen out for this game, it was a long day for freshmen quarterback Steve Belfour. While Belfour had done an excellent job for the reserve football team, starting his first game for the varsity team on this stage was just asking too much. Belfour was only ten of thirty one passing for one hundred forty four yards, one touchdown, four interceptions, and two fumbles. The touchdown came late in the game when the Dolphins had their backups in. Without a lot of its regular starters and its stars quarterback the offense could get nothing going.

Meanwhile on defense out were three of the four starting defensive linemen, two of the starting linebackers, one being Barrett, and two of the four defensive backs, one being Reese. The Dolphin offense would march up and down the field on the depleted Stingray defense. Dolphins starting quarterback John Randall was twenty of twenty five passing for three hundred and seventy five yards and five touchdowns, in the first half as the Dolphins took a 42-0 halftime lead. Randall would finish the day thirty of forty for four hundred sixty three and seven touchdowns, leaving the game after his seventh touchdown that made the game 56-0 in favor of the Dolphins. On their first drive without Randall in the game, Dolphins backup quarterback Sid Mussing threw an interception that lead to PCA's only touchdown. The Stingrays would also add a field goal late in the game.

The crushing defeat put an end to what was the greatest football season in the history of Pacific Coast Academy. The Stingrays completed the second ever undefeated season in school history, the other being in 1975. The Stingrays also won their third ever conference regular season championship, the other two coming last season and in 75. PCA made it to the state championship game for the first time ever in school history, a year after winning its first ever playoff game in school history. While undefeated in the regular season in 1975 the Stingrays were upset in the first round of the state playoffs. Last season was the break out year for Vince Blake as the team returned to the playoffs for the first time since 2000, winning in the first two rounds before falling in the regional championship game to archrival Reefside Academy in triple overtime.

While this dream season ended on a sour note next season may be even better. Of the twenty players suspended for the championship game only three were seniors, and barring anymore trouble all seventeen will return to the team after serving the remainder of their suspensions during the first game of regular season next year. In total the team only loses eight seniors, with only four of them being starters. Both Barrett and Reese will return to the team, and Belfour, who showed glimpses of greatness with the reverse team as a freshman, will have a whole offseason of working with the first team offense under his belt. The main question going into next season is a simple yet huge one, will Vince Blake return?

End file.
