Author's note: This is a rewrite of the alternate Tori universe episode called The Will (I did not come up with this on my own, most of the dialogue and scenes are transcripts of the original episode). It is rewritten to include Jessie and Kelly and Tori has been left out completely. (Sorry to all the Tori fans out there!) This story takes place in Season 4 (if you own the DVDs) or Season 5 (Netflix) immediately following The Bayside Triangle. Because of some reviews wanting Zack and Lisa to stay together, I am working on a story arc (this is the first story) that has them together for more than two episodes. So if you were reading "Why Can't We Be Friends?" I am scrapping it to expand it into more episodes that way Zack and Lisa can stay together a little longer. Just know that eventually they will have to break up (I'm apologizing in advance)... because I am trying to stay within the the continuity of the show.
"Look what I've got!" Jessie sang as she jogged over to Kelly and Slater. She held out a stack of pictures as she approached, "I just got these pictures from Lisa's fashion show developed!" Kelly and Slater peered over her shoulders as she flipped through pictures of last week.
"Here we are setting up the fashion show!" she said excitedly. "Oh, and here's you Kelly in the dress I sewed!"
"Why's your hand coming up through the neck?" Slater asked tilting his head sideways and studying the picture.
"Let's just say sewing is the one area Jessie fails," Kelly kidded her. Jessie tried to give her a stern look, but couldn't help but crack a smile.
"Here you are, Slater," Jessie pointed.
"Aw," he amused.
"Oh, I saved the best for last!" Jessie told them with excitement as she flipped through to the end of the stack of pictures. "Here are Zack and Lisa behind the scenes—kissing!" Then, she flipped to the next picture, "Here they are after the show—still kissing!" She paused and looked up.
"And here they are now!" she sighed dreamily as she watched Zack and Lisa enter the hall. Slater and Kelly looked up and the three watched as the couple gazed into each other's eyes and walked hand in hand right past the staircase and face first into a set of lockers.
"Blinded by love," Slater joked. Kelly and Jessie giggled.
"Ouch," Zack laughed as he rubbed his head. Lisa rubbed her head too. "This relationship is starting to hurt!" he groaned. Then, he looked over at Lisa. "But hey, it's worth it!" he smiled as he wrapped an arm around her.
"Alright! Enough with the mush!" Jessie approached them. "I need the latest scoop on Bayside's brand new couple! So, what did you do for breakfast? Did Zack drive you to school, Lisa? Where did you go for your first date?"
"Down girl!" Lisa warned.
"Jessie, why are you being such a news hound?" Kelly asked shaking her head.
"Spano Speaks got its highest ratings when I did my report on the "Bayside Triangle". Now, I have no new news except for the Ovaltine Outbreak of '92."
"You did a report on us called the "Bayside Triangle"?!" Lisa's voice escalated as she clenched her fists.
"Excuse me mind if I play through?" Screech, oblivious to his friend's conversation, interrupted as he wheeled in a set of golf clubs.
"Screech, did you raid your grandfather's closet?" Zack laughed approaching his dorky best buddy. Screech's ridiculous apparel of a gray newsboy hat, brown bowtie, red plaid vest, and brown plaid pants broke all of the tension. "What are you doing?"
"Practicing! The miniature golf team has a major tournament today!" He informed Zack as he pulled out one of his clubs. Then, reached into his staff bag and pulled out an egg. He gazed at it in admiration.
"Is that a hard- boiled egg?" Lisa asked confused, but amused.
"Yeah, budget cuts are so bad we're using these instead of real golf balls!" Screech chirped with a lopsided face.
"Well, at least if you don't win you'll have a great snack for the back ninth!" Zack joked.
"Hey, the football team is starting to feel the budget crunch too!" Slater chimed in. "We have to use fat nerds as tackling dummies," he informed. The rest of the gang chuckled.
"At least you guys have uniforms!" Kelly complained. "We don't have anything to wear for volleyball!"
Zack's eyebrows went up, and he turned quickly toward her. "Really? I'll have to check out your next game!" he let out a low whistle.
Lisa crossed her arms not a bit amused. "Excuse me," she glared at him batting her eyes.
"Oh, sorry," he apologized, "that was a reflex action," he smiled sheepishly.
"This talk about budget cuts would make a great new story! You're off the hook, Lisa," Jessie patted Lisa on the back. Lisa sighed and put her hands on her hip.
Meanwhile, Screech set the egg on the ground. "Four!" he yelled as he swung his golf club with full force at the egg. It splat right on Mr. Belding's door. Kelly, Lisa, Slater, and Zack all covered their eyes and groaned.
"Oops! I guess that was soft boiled ball!" He rested his club on the ground and whistled innocently.
