A/N: The Zoey 101 fandom lives! Most of you guys have probably seen the WhatZoeySaid video and if you were like me you noticed the many plots. This got my creative juices flowing and this happened. There will be another chapter or more depending. So enjoy

Disclaimer: I do not own Zoey 101. That is still DS and his many plot holes.

As Chase ran as fast as he could through the airport, he thought about the last ten years. It didn't seem like it was ten years ago when Zoey told him that he could watch her DVD. It didn't feel like ten years ago he was at PCA. Those ten years seem to have flown by.

After he came back from England, he and Zoey tried dating. They went to Hawaii together and had the best time of their life but that summer ended. When they went back to PCA, everything seemed to change. Both of them were busy with college applications and essays. As Chase thought about it now, he should've realized what was happening.

Zoey pulled away from him in a way he didn't expect. She never seemed to have time for him. When May 1st came around, she told him. She decided she was going back to Louisiana for college that way she would be closer to her family. Chase was shocked. He thought they were going to UCLA together. Clearly she didn't take his feelings into consideration.

The fight was bad. He thought their radio fight was bad. He thought their England fight was bad but neither one of those compared to this fight. It caused a drift in the gang's friendship Chase didn't think could be fixed. At graduation, the friends he had since eighth grade left without another word.

Chase decided he had to move on. He couldn't pin after Zoey forever. When he met Alyssa, he thought he was done with Zoey. Alyssa was different. Good different. His family adored Alyssa. His dad told him that she was perfect for him. His mom cooked with her.

Chase bought the ring on a whim. When he told his mom and sister, they screamed. They helped him plan the perfect propose with the clam shell. His dad thought it was dorky that he was proposing with a clam shell. Not like he could say anything, he proposed over the phone.

The restaurant they were at today was the place of their first date and he was ready. But for some odd reason, he place a picture of Zoey in his bag this morning. He wasn't sure why he didn't, he just told himself to do it.

But everything changed when Michael came through the door. The last seven years disappeared and were replaced by the all those wonderful years at PCA. His mind flashed to his webshow with Michael, his race with Logan, homework with Quinn, rehearsing with Lola, and Zoey.

Zoey Brooks. Even her name made him weak in the knees. Everything about her was perfect. Alyssa was pushed out of his mind as Michael told him about Zoey's DVD for the time capsule.

Now Chase was running after a ghost. A ghost that might not feel the same way but finally Chase is doing what he should've done a long time ago. He was holding on to his soulmate.


Michael didn't know what processed him to do what he just did. He pondered his actions as he stripped out of his dirty clothes in his best friend's ex-girlfriend's shower. Even though he just ruined her chance to become Mrs. Chase Matthews, Alyssa surprisingly let him take a shower in her apartment.

When Michael woke up two days ago, he had no idea he would travel across the country to dig up a DVD then travel back. After he kissed Lisa and made his way to the office, he received a text from an unknown number. Confused, he texted back and asked who it was. A few moments later, he screamed. He made an illegal turn and drove as fast as he could to the airport, calling Lisa on the way.

Five hours later, Michael met Lola Martinez at the airport. After a brief catchup, they made their way to PCA where they met Nicole Bristow and Mr. Bender at the entrance. Mr. Bender led them to the place where they buried the time capsule and Michael started shoveling with the shovel he rented. Afterwards, he hugged the girls and went back to the airport where he flew another six hours to New York. This time watching the DVD.

Now he was in a stranger's apartment, showering, after ruining her chance at happiness. Michael should feel bad but he didn't. Chase deserved to be happy. Zoey deserved to be happy. They deserved to be happy together.


Zoey put the finishing touches on her new creation before closing up her boutique. The day seemed to fly by. Her assistant manager called in sick on her day off so she had to go in and open. After she called in her backup, Zoey finished all her paperwork before continuing her creation.

At lunch, she received a text from an unknown number. After sending a confused response and getting an answer back, Zoey almost dropped her phone. The rest of the day, she was distracted. Memories came flooding back, good and bad, mainly the bad.

Her senior year of PCA came flooding back as she remembered pushing her friends away. She wanted-no needed to get a full ride to college so she worked her butt off, putting her relationship and friendship on the back burn.

She remembered the day she told Chase she was going back home as though it happened yesterday. There was yelling. There was tears. There was pain. Zoey knew she should've talked to him about it but at the time, she justified her decision. Looking back, she realized her mistakes. She wanted him, she wanted them to be together but she gave up them.

As she closed up her shop, she thought back to her graduation. The friends she made were no more as she walked across that stage. The years afterwards were a mixture of stress and determination. Zoey pushed herself in college, determined to open her own fashion business. Five years later, her boutique was opened with a small workshop in the back. She pushed Chase out of mind along with the friendships she lost. Until today.

Zoey finished closing, locking the door behind her, shifting her bag. Her mind was still in the past as she turned around. She stopped, staring at what seemed like a ghost. A ghost that was her friend. Her soulmate.
