Hey, hey, hey ,hey
Ohhh...

"Dana!" Logan called from across the quad. "Dana, wait up. Will you sign my yearbook?" He

thrust it towards her.

Dana grabbed the pen and sat at a near table. She scribbled a long message to the boy who caused her nothing but "agony" and "stress" since she arrived at PCA. "Well, Logan, I never took you for the yearbook type."

"I'm not. I just had a good year this time and I kind of want to remember it." he said turning to see what she wrote.

"No. Don't read it until you're on the plane to Florida. And you have to sign mine." she said.

"Okay, but you can't read mine until you're on the plane to Ohio." he, too, wrote a long message in her yearbook. He turned to the first page of the yearbook. "Haha, look, the basketball game."

"Ugh... look how bad my hair looks."

"I like it."

Dana blushed a little and turned the page. "Look at the pictures from the play. That was hilarious. Zoey, Nicole and I talked about it all night."

"That was not even remotely funny. It made me look like a jerk in front of the whole school."

"Logan, you realize the whole school already knew that." she teased.

"Yeah, well... I got nothing. Just turn the page." the next page had a picture of Logan's teddy bear, the one with the web cam. "You know what? Let's skip that page."

Dana turned the page revealing a picture of the statue in women's underwear "OH! Prank week. You have to admit that, that was a pretty good prank."

"Yeah it was. But not as good as this," he turned the page which featured a picture of Drake Bell's performance. "Wanna know what I favorite memory of this year was?"

"What?" she asked.

"It's in my message to you, so I guess you'll have to wait till you're in Ohio, or at least Nevada."

"Wow, Logan knows some geography! I'm stunned."Dana said.

Zoey, Nicole, and Quinn walked past the quad and Zoey called her.

"Well, see you, Logan."she said.

"Yeah, see you next fall."

"No," Dana said sadly, "I'm not coming back next year."

Dana walked away slowly and glanced back at him when she reached Zoey, Nicole, and Quinn.

Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby

Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out and
Love's strange so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on

Logan sat alone in his dorm with the lights off. Everyone else was participating in last week of school escapades. But not him. Chase walked in and flipped on the light.

"Ahh" he heard come from Logan's bed.

Chase walked over and pulled the sheets off Logan's head. "What are you doing man?"

"Can't you see I'm depressed?" Logan said, only to be greeted by an "continue..." look on Chase's face. "The love of my life is leaving and never coming back."

"Come on man. It's only summer. You'll see everyone next September."

"No. Dana's staying in Ohio." Logan said, then covered his mouth and covered his head again.

"Dana?" Chase screamed. "You like Dana?"

"Shut up man. Why else do you think I'm such a jerk to her?"

"Well, because you're a jerk to everyone?"

"I am not a jerk. I'm just honest." Logan said realizing Chase was right. "Man, I am a jerk. But at least I'm ridiculously good-looking."

"Does she know?"

"No, but she will as soon as she reaches Nevada."

Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby

"You like who!" Zoey asked in complete shock at what her roommate had just said.

"Yeah. I do. I like Logan Reese. Gosh! What is wrong with me? I can't like Logan. He's... Logan!" Dana said.

"Well, have you told him?" Nicole asked.

"No. But he's gonna know... just as soon as he leaves for Florida." Dana said, smiling slightly to herself. "I hope he doesn't forget me."

"Why would he forget you... you'll see him in the fall." Nicole said.

"No, I'm staying in Ohio."

Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me

It was time for dinner and Logan decided to tell Dana how he felt. He walked over to the girls' table and asked if he could "borrow" Dana for a minute.

"Dana, there's something I have to tell you." Logan said.

"There's something I have to tell you too."

"Really? You go first."

"No you. You called me over." she said. She didn't want him to know how nervous she was.

"Students. Student. I have an announcement to make." Dean Rivers interrupted their confessions. Logan cursed him in his mind. "Since this is the last week of classes, male students are allowed in the girls' dorms until midnight. But the staff wants you to use your best judgment and not do anything you will regret. Thank you. You may recommence eating."

"Why don't you come over later?" Dana said. "Bring Chase, Zoey's gonna profess her love for him. Can you believe how oblivious they are?"

"Yeah, I know. Chase totally likes her too. She's basically all he talks about."

"Same with Zoey." Dana said. "So... umm are you coming over tonight? So we can talk?"

"Yeah. Of course." Logan said.

"Okay great." Dana said turning away to go back to her table. "Bring Michael too... so Nicole can have someone to talk to."

Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down

"Do you think they'll come. Even with the storm?" Dana asked nervously.

"Of course they will, Dane, just relax." Zoey said and there was a knock at the door "Told you."

"Zoe, what am I supposed to do while you guys are having a love-fest?" Nicole asked pleadingly.

"Talk to Mike. Maybe you guys will hit it off and you can have your own love-fest."

"Eww! With Michael!"

The knock was repeated and Nicole opened the door, then scrambled back to her bed. She didn't know it, but Michael did have a crush on her.

Will you recognize me?
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down

"Well, Logan, you look... different." seeing the corners of Logan's mouth turn down, Dana said "But in a good way."

"So... uhh... back to what I was gonna tell you at dinner." Logan said.

"Anyone want a drink or anything." Nicole interrupted.

"Yeah, give me a Dr. Pepper. And a Coke for Logan?" he nodded.

"So yeah..."he started.

"Oh my gosh Chase! Are you serious? You like me too?" Zoey squealed.

"Gosh!" Logan said... only to be interrupted with a swift smack on the head. He was hit with a Coke, A Dr. Pepper came but he caught that. He looked to the sky "Anything else?"

"Knock, knock..." it was CoCo, the girls' DA (that means Dorm Advisor). "Hey guys, just wanted to..."

"Oh my gosh I just want to talk to Dana!" Logan said, rather loudly. "Oops, sorry."

"Yeah, I just wanted to tell Zoey that her brother is in the lounge. He says it's important."

"Alright, tell him I'll be right there." Zoey said.

"Okay." Logan said. "I'm just gonna blurt out what I have to say before I get interrupted again. Dana, I like you, a lot. As more than just a friend. And it crushed me when you said you weren't coming back next year. I just thought you should know."

"Logan, I..." Dana started, but stopped when Logan's lips were on her's.

Hey, hey, hey, hey

"Hey Michael." Nicole said in a low voice, "This is gonna sound like such a Logan thing to say, but... Do you wanna make out?"

"What? Why are you asking me this?"

"I don't know, I guess I just felt something different about you."

"Okay, then yes."

Ohhhh...

"Chase, I have to tell you something." Zoey said. "Ever since I came to PCA you've always been there. I don't know what I would have done if I didn't meet you. I think I love you."

"Really, Zoey? I like you too." Chase said.

"Oh my gosh Chase! Are you serious? You like me too?" Zoey squealed.

"Yeah I do."

Don't you try to pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security

A few days past since the "love-fest." It was time to leave for the summer, or in Dana's case, forever. A bus left PCA every hour for the airport. Dana's flight was at 11:45, Nicole's was at 11:35, Michael was on the same flight as Nicole but had a lay-over in Kansas. Logan's flight was at noon, but he went to the airport on the 11:00 bus so he could say goodbye to Dana. Zoey, Dustin and Chase all got driven home because they lived only about an hour from the school.

On the bus ride there, Logan and Dana sat together, holding hands, and Nicole and Michael sat together, making out.

"So, uhh, Dana." Logan started, "What are we to each other?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I like you, and you like me, and we like each other. So are we like, going out?"

"Logan, I don't know if that would work. I mean, I'm gonna be in Ohio. You're gonna be here. It wouldn't work. I wish it would, but..."

"Dana, we can make it work."

"So then, are you my... boyfriend?"

Logan nodded with a smile.

Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby

"Flight 137 to Cleveland, Ohio, boarding first class and children 18 and under." the speaker blared.

"Well, that's me." Dana said.

"I'll e-mail you everyday and I'll call you every week and I'll..." Logan said. "I'll even write you letters."

Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me

"So, we like making out, don't we?" Michael said on the plane.

"Yes, we do. We really do." Nicole responded.

"Wow. I can start out the summer with a girlfriend." Michael said quietly.

"A what? And I have a boyfriend."

As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
When you walk away

"Bye Logan." Dana turned to board her flight. She reached the gate and turned around. She ran to Logan and Logan ran to her. They embraced in a final kiss before she boarded the plane.

I say :
La la la..
