AN: Wow, a saved by the bell fic...who woulda though I would do that? I've always been an anime writer but i just HAD to get this fetish out. Anyways, I don't own SBTB, Or GMMB, Or any of those. Enjoy (btw, this takes place after Kelly and Zack got married, and forgive me for spelling errors or if I accidently spell Zack as 'Zach' cuz that's how I know most of the people I know spell it for some reason)

Chapter one *********************************************************************************************************************************************************

"So what is it?"

Jessie looked over at the broad-shouldered man sitting next to her whom she grew to know as A.C. Slater.

"Come on, spit it out. You couldn't have called me into town just to have a drink."

Slater Kept his eyes straight ahead and slouched forward, elbows on the counter and folded his hands under his chin.

"You didn't forget I don't drink, did you? Because I'm not gonna fall for your macho crap just so you can think you can get me drunk and..."

"I DIDN'T forget Jessie! Geez! You never change!"

"So then, what is it?"

"It's about Zack and Kelly..."

She perked up at this.

"Really? How are they? Have you heard anything?"

She paused for a moment as realization sunk in.

"Oh my God...Slater...Is Kelly...Is she...are they gonna have a..."

"That isn't it..."

She wrinkled her brow in confusion.

"It...isn't? Then...what is it?"

He took in a deep breath, not looking her in the eye, afraid of what her reaction was going to be. He now really wished she DID drink. It would have been easier to break the news if she was drunk. Maybe she would have handled it better. She did seem like the type who would be more of a 'giggly' drunk rather than an 'angry' drunk. He drew in another breath and prepared to speak.

"They broke up. Zack's been staying with Screech and me and Kelly's disappeared. Neither Alex or Leslie have no clue where she went. We got a hold of Lisa but she had no clue either. Apparently, Zack caught her 'sleeping' with someone else. I didn't get all the details, he wouldn't really tell me...but..."

He trailed off and risked a quick glance up at her glassy-eyed look. She looked so far away and sad he felt guilty for telling her for a moment. As much as Alex was important to him; he sometimes still wished he could go back to making things right with Jessie but that was the past and now she was just a good friend...nothing more.

"They...broke up...?"

"I'm sorry Jessie...I shouldn't have said anything..."

"NO! No...I'm glad you told me...Slater, I...I just don't know what to say...I always they would be..."

"Yeah, I know. Me too."

"Kelly did this?"

He didn't respond and just looked down at his hands that he had clasped hard in his lap. Jessie did the same and shook her head softly.

"I don't understand why...that's so strange...they've only been together for a month...maybe I should try to find her and see what's wrong?"

He looked up at her like she was crazy.

"Just like you Jessie, trying to get involved into something that isn't your problem."

She stood up with her hands on her hips.

"Okay Macho man, then you tell me a better idea on how to handle it?"

He went quiet at this. It was then she came up with another idea.

"You know what? Maybe you're right..."

Now it was his turn to look up with a glassy look of confusion and shock.

"I...AM?"

She nodded. "Yeah...maybe I shouldn't go look for her. Instead, I'll go to Zack to cheer him up."

"Sure, I guess that's not a bad idea..."

"And I'll take him out of town with me to visit."

"WAIT? WHAT?"

"Yeah. He needs to leave this place for a while. I'll take him back home for while. That might cheer him up."

She put down her part of the tab followed by Slater making the same gestured both headed out the door all while Slater mumbled "I got a really bad feeling about this..."
