* Okay, ladies and gentlemen, here is the second installment of my little fanfic! I'd like to thank Avi for her review. Thanks, Avi! Oh, and please post as often as possible, folks, even if you already have, cuz it really motivates me and Zoie! It would also be great if you could help me come up with a really great name for Zoie and Zain Go to College. The winner will get a special guest appearance in the story, and, possibly, a date with their favorite bishounen! Okay, well, here it goes! *

Zoie went outside to grab yet another oversized box and then made her way back into the living room and started putting into it pictures of Zain and herself in first all the way through twelfth grade, movies, and other miscellaneous reminders of their time in this house. She let out a sigh and continued working until she heard a thud upstairs. She looked up nervously at the ceiling, shaking her head disapprovingly. "I swear, if those two are goofing off instead of working, they're both dead!" With that she put the porcelain dragon that she held in her hands in the box and began to climb the stairs to the room where Zain and Yusuke had just confessed their love in. "Zain Star Sphynx, I swear to you, you're gonna be sorry if you're not working!" she hollered. Zain sat up quickly, startling Yusuke and causing him to roll of the bed and on to the floor. "Shit!" she exclaimed. "Hey, Yusuke, get up and look busy!" "What the hell was that all about?" he asked, standing and rubbing the back of his head. "Look, I'm sorry, but help me!" Zain responded. From the hall, Zoie heard nervous voices and yet another loud thud. "What the hell are they doing in there?" she asked out loud. She knocked on the door in irritation to be greeted by a too-happy-looking Zain and Yusuke. "Hi, Sis!" Zain said with a big, phony smile. Zoie looked at the two skeptically. "What's going on," she asked. "N-nothing!" Yusuke answered, "Just hard work is all!" Zoie stepped closer to them, causing them to move back and let her into the room. She looked around in surprise. The room was completely packed, with boxes neatly lining the walls. "You.actually did your job," she said in shock. "Did you ever doubt me," Zain asked from behind her. "Actually, yes," Zoie answered. "Okay, well." She looked over at Yusuke, who was still smiling nervously. "I'll see you guys down stairs," she said, leaving without even asking them for further help. 'Something very fishy is going on up there,' she thought to herself. As soon as she was gone, Zain and Yusuke let out a long sigh of relief and sat down next to each other on the bed. For a while, neither of them said a word, and they would only look at each other with nervous, short glances, trying to avoid looking each other in the eyes. Finally, Zain cleared her throat and spoke. "Um. so. that was weird." "Yeah," Yusuke said. "Real weird. Um." "Did you mean what you said, Yusuke?" "About what?" "That you would go anywhere to be with me." "Yes." They finally looked at one another, Zain searching for truth in Yusuke's eyes, and Yusuke trying his best to convince Zain of his sincerity. "Then come with us," Zain said. At first, Yusuke almost said he couldn't, but the words wouldn't leave his lips. After what had just happened between the to of them, how could he possibly let Zain out of his life? "Okay.I'll go with you." "Yay!" Zain exclaimed, jumping into the air. Yusuke smiled at her childlike attitude and stood up next to her. "Zain, I." "Don't worry, Yusuke. I love you, too." He took Zain in his arms and cradled her head against his chest, happy to be alive. Zain could hear his heart beating in time with hers under his shirt, and looked up to kiss him softly. She pulled away slowly and reluctantly and smiled guiltily at him. "We'd better go help Zoie."
