[Inspired by the S3E21 of Zoey 101, called "Miss PCA". It's recommended to watch that episode to understand all the references.]

Zoey, Lola and Chase are walking around outside the PCA and they suddenly watch a lot of girls by the entrance of one of the halls.

"What's happening there?" Says Zoey. "Let's see."

"Yeah, let's go!" Answers Lola.

As they come closer, they see a big poster. Then, they hear a familiar voice: Logan.

"Hey girls, are you here to sign up for my Mud Wrestling Competition? Sorry Chase, It's only for girls. As much as you act like one, you are not allowed to compete." Logan turns to the girls and offers them a pen and a piece of paper. "This is the registration form. After you fill it out, Michael will give you the official outfit."

"Wait, what's going out here? A mud wrestling competition for girls? That's totally crazy. And sexist! It's against all principles we are fighting for! Totally degrading for any girl!" Zoey looks mad at Logan.

"Totally inappropriate. Do you really expect us to mud wrestle with other girls? You must be out of your mind!" Replies Lola.

Nicole handles her registration form to Logan, and then she sees Zoey and Lola. "Oh, girls! Are you participating too? This will be awesome! Just let me grab my outfit." She goes to Michael and grabs a transparent bag with mostly strings on it.

"What is that?" Says Chase. "It looks like a bunch of strings. That's not even an outfit!"

"Chase, Chase, I know you are not familiar with it, but it's called a thong and a bra. It is designed to cover only the most private parts of a girl's body, and leave the rest out for our delight. As I told you, you are not allowed to compete, so let the girls choose the color of their outfit." Answers Logan.

"Still, that's so degrading for any girl! They are not animals!" Chase tries to stand up for what Zoey believes, because he is so in love with her.

"There is no way we are going to participate in your sick pervert contest!" Zoey starts enraging.

"Definitely not!" Lola supports her friend.

Amused by their reaction, Logan smiles at them. "I presume you are not aware of the prize yet. The winner will get four thousand dollars in cash, all for her. No tax deduction or anything. Just $4,000 dlls. in cash for the winner to buy anything she wants."

"Give me that form! I'm in!" Zoey takes it from Logan's hands without hesitation and starts filling it. "I can buy like a car or anything I want. I've never had that much money on my hands! I have to win!"

"Quick! I need one too!" Lola gets excited about the money idea. "I can have real acting classes with professionals with that money!"

"And I can buy like four pairs of Manolo Blanik's" Says Nicole.

Zoey quickly finishes filling the form. "Michael, give me that red one!"

Lola follows "I want the blue one, fits with my skin color."

Nicole tries to be part of the group. "I got the pink one! I'm sure it will look great on me!"

"Zoey, stop!" Chase it's very concerned. "You can't do this. Even you said this competition was so sexist and degrading for girls. Not only you don't need to do this, you can't do this. It's against your principles; this is pure objectification of women. Goes against everything in what you believe!"

"I know, but its 4 thousand dollars, there's no way I wouldn't be doing this!"

"Totally!" Lola looks at Chase in disbelief.

"Great. We are going to become wrestling buddies!" Nicole smiles at her friends, trying to fit in.

"But it's a thong!" Chase keeps trying to convince Zoey. "It shows you almost naked, your entire butt exposed. You can't wear that, you are a good girl, not a cheap slut."

"Chase, please. I'm going to answer you with a quote from the best pop singer in the entire universe, she looks a lot like my oldest sister tough, anyway, here it is:" Zoey throws a teasing look to Chase, gets closer to his face, stares at him, and starts singing "Oops you, think that I'm sent from abo-o-o-ove, I'm not that innoce-ent!" Looks deeply in his eyes. "For 4 thousand dollars I would do more than that. Everybody has a prize. 4 thousand dollars sounds fair for this. I won't be naked. And I have a great chance to win, remember? I'm on the wrestling team! I made it to the finals on the male tournament. I'm going to win this contest, so stop being such a pussy about it!"

Not convinced enough, Chase turns his head down. He can't look at Zoey on the eyes anymore. Everything in what he believed before is falling down. And not in pieces. It's all together. Like a big explosion. He feels like his mind is about to blow. Like a nuclear bomb. He hears the voice of Logan calling him.

"So Chase, want to become part of my staff? We get the best seats and the best treatment, just ask Michael."

"Sure we do. The girls are fighting already over the color of their suits. And the competition hasn't even begun!"

"No. Thanks, but this is too much. I can't be part of this."

Logan knows what is happening. Everyone here must be so aware except for Zoey. Everyone knows Chase is in love with Zoey, except for her. As his friend, Logan tries to encourage Chase without revealing the important details of his love for Zoey.

"You are having a crisis, its ok. I get it. Since Zoey is participating, I don't blame you. The door is open for you to become part of my staff, but only until the tournament begins, so, make up your mind as soon as possible. We are not in elementary school anymore, this is high school!"

"Don't worry; I will never change my mind." Chase continues his path to his room without lifting his head. He needs to spend some time by himself.

The girls chatter excited about the tournament.

"Great!"

"Awesome!"

"I hope this won't make me look fat."
