A/N: AU season three. Zoey's parents never came to talk to her about Covington, so she never heard Chase's confession. Lots of Christmas fluff.

Disclaimer: If I owned Zoey 101, would I really be spending my days writing fanfiction? No. The show would have had a better ending, and would have gone into at least two more seasons.


It was December 23rd, the last day at PCA before Christmas holidays. The gang, fully packed to go home for two weeks, sat in the lounge. They had arranged a Secret Santa between the six of them, and the assigned gift receivers were:

Chase – Quinn

Michael – Logan

Logan – Zoey

Lola – Michael

Quinn – Lola

Zoey – Chase

Chase had bought Quinn some new test tubes, as he knew she had broken some of hers trying to create a new germ (again. He had also gotten her a gift card to a boutique near PCA, because even though she denied it, he knew she loved shopping as much as Lola and Zoey did.

Michael, angry that he had gotten Logan ('He already has everything!'), was unsure of what to get him. Finally he had decided upon a new football and a homemade batch of cookies.

Logan had gotten Zoey. Since she had denied his original present ('seven minutes in heaven with me?') he settled on a charm bracelet and a teddy bear.

"I swear, Reese. If this has a webcam in it I'm going to kick your ass."

"Relax, Brooks."

They had hugged, and the bracelet really was pretty.

Lola had no trouble shopping for Michael. The two of them had become pretty close friends over the last semester. She bought him a mix of the greatest hits from his favourite band and a new toy, what he called 'Clackers'.

Quinn also had no difficulty getting a gift for Lola. She had ordered a dress for her online from a shop in L.A., and had made her a necklace by crystalizing metal balls and stringing them together. She had also bought her tickets for the showing of Romeo and Juliet for after the returned in the New Year.

Chase was her best friend in the whole world, but Zoey was stuck on what to get him. She had found a greatest hits record by The Beatles, but she didn't think a material gift was good enough.

She had found herself developing feelings for him a few months back, and reliable sources had told her that he felt the same (more like, 'Head over heels' in love with her), and although she had originally tried to ignore these rumors, as the months went by she had a gut feeling that they were true.

"This is incredible, Zo! Thank you!" He had said, giving her a hug after unwrapping her present to him.

"I'm glad you like it." Her face blushed red. "I have, er, something else for you."

"You do?"

She handed him a small package. He unwrapped it to find mistletoe in the box. As previously arranged, Lola grabbed it and held it over Zoey and Chase's heads. His eyes widened, but she leaned in and pressed her lips to his. He kissed her back. They kissed like that for what seemed like hours, maybe even days. She heard the angels sing, he saw fireworks. It wasn't until they heard the room burst into applause that they separated.

"I love you too, Chase" She whispered into his ear.

He didn't know how, or where, she heard that, but at that moment he didn't care. He grabbed her face in two hands and kissed her again.

"I love you" He whispered back.

"FINALLY." She heard her friends shout.


A/N:

Because nothing says Christmas like a fluffy Choey drabble.

If you're feeling kind, go check out my other fic, 'Broken Hearts & New Beginnings'. I've posted chapter three and chapter four is in the works.

Merry Christmas! And if you don't celebrate Christmas, happy Thursday!
