Chase's Best Friend

-Chapter 3-

"How long are you going to stay mad at Chase?" Nicole asked the next morning. Zoey was still upset that she had to watch a science fiction/horror movie without him.

"I don't know," Zoey shrugged. After a quiet moment she added, "Hey how long is that Rachel girl going to be here?"

"I'm not sure," Nicole said, "She's nice though. And I like her clothes."

Zoey rolled her eyes, "I'm gonna go take a shower."

"So, what do you think of Zoey?" Chase asked Rachel. She met him in his dorm the next morning, with a cup of coffee and a danish.

"I think she's great. I can't imagine what she thinks of me though. I acted like an idiot last night."

"She probaly likes you," Chase re-assured her, "She was ticked that I didn't meet her at the movies last night."

"Oh. That's probaly my fault," Rachel said.

"Yeah, well, kinda," Chase said.

"I'm sorry." Zoey said.

"You're sorry?" Chase was perplexed, "For what?"

"It's ok. Well, it will be. I guess," Chase said.

"Yeah. What are you doing today?"

"I have tennis with Zoey if she still wants to and Sunday nights we usually all go to Sushi Rox."

"Sushi? Since when do you eat sushi?" Rachel asked, "You don't even like cooked fish!"

"Well, I guess I learned to like it."

Rachel looked at her friend hard for a minute, "Boy you've changed...But I missed you."

"I missed you too," Chase kissed his friend on lightly on the cheek, "Come on, let's go find Zoey."

"You find her. I want you guys to be ok."

"Ok, what're you going to do then?"

"I don't know. I guess I'll just explore."

Zoey got dressed, blow dried her hair and just as she sat down to do her makeup, there was a knock on the door.

It was Chase.

"Hey, Zoe."

"Hi," stubborness welled up inside but she decided to fight it. "I'm sorry."

"You're sorry?" Chase asked, "For what?"

"Being so mad at you. I probaly would have done the same thing," Zoey say down on the couch. Chase sat next to her.

"Really? You have a dysfunctional best friend back home?"

"Not dysfunctional, but I do have a best friend back home."

"Oh."

"So why don't we go see a movie tonight? You, me, and Rachel?" Zoey asked.

"Oh... that sounds interesting," Chase said.

"What do you say?" Zoey asked again.

Chase pondered for a moment, "I say, that sounds really nice."

"Cool," Zoey smiled, "Well I have to finish getting ready."

"I got it. I'm leaving. Thanks, Zoey. For understanding."

"No problem," Zoey smiled again. Chase smiled back and departed.

A/N: One more chapter! So, I finally feel like I can write because Zoey 101 has officially come to end. (Starts to tear up.) I'm going to miss it. But I'm glad there was closure so I can write freely without the writers messing something up for me. Like when Lola was Lola Camacho and then turned to Lola Martinez...

Review please, and tell me what you think of the series ending.
