This is during when Zach was staying at Gallagher, after the Blackthorne battle. It's in no ones POV, a one shot unless asked for otherwise. More at the end. Disclaimer: Don't own, but am a former student at Gallagher Academy (At least according to facebook.) Hope you like it!


Cammie was trying to do her COW homework, when she thumped her head down on her desk. "I can't do this." She murmured, seemingly talking to herself. However, Macey choose to answer anyway. "Can't do what?" She asked, rubbing lotion into her hands. Cammie looked up, wary "Act like everything is normal, when it isn't." She replied tiredly, her shoulders slumped.

"Ah." Macey said, nodding. "You're thinking about Goode."

Pause

"Um, no, I was actually thinking about how my life is in danger, and-"

"But really, in the back of your mind, you were thinking about him."

"No, Macey, I was thinking about how-"

"You know what your problem is?" Macey said wisely, "You guys have trust issues. And communication. And a lot more. Know what you need? Couple counseling."

Cammie looked at her, one eyebrow raised. "Yea, except we're not a couple." She said, abandoning her attempt at saying she wasn't thinking about him, and looking back down at her COW homework.

Macey was undaunted. "That can be fixed easily. What are you, anyway? Friends? Friend with benefits?" She questioned, tilting her head to the side and examining Cammie, as if the answer to her question would appear on her face.

The face in question looked uneasy. "I guess we're just…you know…..agents." She finished lamely. Macey rolled her eyes. "You like to kiss each other all the time. And from what you've told me, your pretty handsy agents."

Cammie dropped her pencil unto her work. "What are you talking about?" She said, clearly truly not knowing what Macey was getting at. Macey lifted her head up and started talking in a high voice, mimicking Cammie. " ' So then Zach's arm was around my waist, and-' 'I couldn't get up, cause he was holding me down-' 'He was all pressed up against me, so it was kinda hard to think….' ' I sat on his chest a till he told me….' Really, Cam, get a room."

Cammie cursed in Spanish "Ok, Macey, I'll admit we are something. And if you'd like to figure out what, that's great, cause I'd love to know too."

Macey smirked, propping her high-heeled boots unto the desk. "Excellent. Bring him in; you two are in for some fun"


"McHenry, you're insane. I always assumed, and this just confirms my suspicions"

Zach said in disbelief, still shaken from having been dragged there by Bex and Macey when Cammie refused to get him. "Shut up or I'll have the bouncer deal with you." Macey said in a bored voice, tilting her head toward Bex, who was leaning against the door frame.

"I see….." Zach said slowly "And where's your other friend? The tiny one?"

"I will not" Bex interrupted, though she was under strict instructions to be quiet "Have you refer to my friends as 'The tiny one', when you obviously know her name" Zach rolled his eyes and smirked slightly "Fine, where is your friend Liz who is not at all tiny?" Macey giggled, and Cammie stared at her. "What?" She asked. "Zach saying tiny entertains me. You know, he's probably referring to his-"

"Ok!" Cammie said, cutting her off. "Can we get this over with? If it has to been done, quick and painful is better then drawn out." "You're weird." Was Macey's reply "But yes."


"So, Zach. Can you please tell me subjects number 1's name?"

"Her name?"

"Correct. I thought you we're a spy; shouldn't you hear me the first time?"

"I thought you were a spy, shouldn't you know her name?"

"Zachary. I mean, Subject Number 2, it's an exercise. To see how well you know each other. Ca- Subject Number 1, stop rolling your eyes, I can see you. So, full name?"

"Cameron Ann Morgan, Your highness"

"Good, and keep calling me that. Now, Cammie, can you please tell me Subject Number 2's full name?"

Cammie looked wary already. "How did you even know my whole name? I never told you." Zach started to open his mouth and point to himself, but she cut him off "Never mind. Zachary Goode, I don't know his middle name, we fail, and can we leave?"

Macey sighed, "What am I going to do with you? If this is the case, you clearly need my help"

"O yea?" Cammie said, getting defensive "What's Preston's middle name?" She challenged. Bex rolled her eyes from the door.

"James" Macey said promptly. "You fail. But no, you're not leaving. We have only just begun. First things first, you need to start to get to know each other. Level 1 clearance stuff, that's it. You should start Cammie, by finding out what Zach middle name is. Get it into a clever conversation, if you can-" "Zach, what's you middle name?" Cammie interrupted her. Macey huffed.

"Gee, Gallagher Girl, I would have told you, but you seem so reluctant to be here. I'm having fun myself. We obviously have 'conflicting interests and don't belong together'" He said in a high voice. Cammie stared at him. "I'm kidding," he said, holding up his hands. "Doesn't anyone in here have a since of humor?" "Gee, I would respond, but your saying I have no since of humor deeply offended me. And nice try getting out of answering the question. It didn't work."

Bex was now making gagging noises in the background. "What?" Cammie snapped at her. "You two make me sick" She replied. "I think Macey's right. You need this. Lets out all the sexual tension. But lets not forget there are other people, in the room, m'kay?"

"Not a chance"

"Your friends are really weird," Zach observed.


"I really think we're getting somewhere," Macey said, popping her bubblegum and hour or so later. Therefore breaking the 'no

bubblegum unless used as truth detector or poison rule.'

Bex was falling asleep against the door frame, Zach was laying down on the bed, Cammie was trying to seem like she wasn't looking at him, Macey was noticing the Cammie was trying to seem like she wasn't looking at Zach, and Liz had came into the room 20 minutes ago and was reading a book in the corner, pretending not to be listening.

"We've established that you two have trust issues, communication issues, conflicting family problems-" Liz snorted, therefore breaking her attempt at being undercover. Macey continued "-undetermined futures with or without each other-"

"OK!" Cammie finally snapped, "We get it, we fail. But as I said at the beginning, we-aren't-a-couple! So I'm sorry if we don't pass your standards, but what do you want? Us to declare are undivided love for each other? What, Macey!"

Zach propped himself up unto his elbows "That was pretty hot" He observed, "I think you should make her mad more often, McHenry" Macey curled her lip. She then said "She's kinda right, you know. I mean, you like her, right? You guys have kissed like six times, you clearly care for one another. I can say a bunch of crap, but I really want is for you two to admit that!"

Bex then chimed in still groggy from light sleep "Cam, sweetheart, we get it if you guys can't actually be a couple right now. Really. We just want you to be happy, and a person to beat up if he hurts you in anyway. I need some more targets."

Zach sat up "Ok" He said, looking at Cammie "This is crazy. Cammie knows that I care about her, right Gallagher Girl? We don't need you guys interfering."

Cammie has that look on her face, the looked that said 'O my god did he just say that yes he did he really just said that I mean I assumed it but coming out and saying it o god now I have to say something else that can't say to much well here goes nothing' look. And then said "Of course. Thanks guys, but really, we're fine." Before adding "and Macey, I don't think counseling is for you. Telling your patients to frequently 'jump in a lake' or 'shut the hell up or I'll rip all your nails off' normally doesn't have a good outcome"

Zach laughed. "Come on, Gallagher Girl, I'll show you a secret tunnel to the roof that I'll bet you haven't discovered yet." A slow smile crawled unto Cammie's face. She stood up "It's on, Blackthorne Boy" She said, before following him out the door. Before she left, she quickly turned to her roommates and mouthed 'thank you' before running off.

Macey and Bex beamed at each other. "Well, Lizzie, another job well done" Macey said, climbing into bed. "O, and next time-" She added "Can you try to come in a bit early and hide the bugs a bit better? They were staring at them." Liz rolled her eyes "you do it then" She mumbled, before throwing down her book and getting into bed as well. Macey clucked her tongue. "You're the smart one, you figure it out." "You're the one that wants to council them, it's not my problem!" "She's your best friend! She has a problem, you have a problem!" "Well you"

"GUYS!" Bex screamed from the other side of the room. They both turned to her in alarm. "What?" They asked, frantically, looking around for signs of danger. Bex regarded them calmly. "Shut up, are I'm going to put both of you in counseling"


Yay, done! I'm saying right now that I wont be doing another chapter about Grant and Bex or about Liz and Jonas, because we don't even know their last names (it never actually says that Grants last name is Newman) And lots of girls like Grant, and we don't really even know if Zach, Grant, and Jonas are friends. Sure, they now stuff about each other, but they're spies. So nothing to write about. Review if you hated it, review if you liked it, and review if you want me to add a part about them looking over a list titled "how to tell if you're in a abused relationship." Spoiler of that – "Number one, the person is supportive of what you do" Cammie looked at Zach in disbelief "people do that? And here I was thinking you were normal. My god, what else have I been missing?"

Ciao!
