Alright...my author's note is thanking all my reviewers this time.

Flatfoot-92- I was actually debating having Zack just fall asleep somewhere...but then my best friend Chinsky thought of my other idea that I'll be using. I thought it was kind of sweet too, that he was worried, even though they fought. I liked it too, if I do say so myself. ;) thank you! And yes, you can have a cookie anyway. Do you like chocolate chip?
Iluvmyface- thank you! I'm so glad you like it! If I need help, I shall be sure to let you know.
Liz- nothing to criticize? Are you serious? Wow! Thank you so much!! I am working on typing my other story...which...I might post on my LJ...if I can, cuz it's long. But if and when I do, you'll really like that if you like this! Brooke- ohhh I knoow...I messed it up slightly, but that's ok. It got fixed, because I have an editor now, named Deanna. She's totally awesome. They will definitely find Zack, as you see in this chapter, and things will spiral from there.
augur-cursed- sighs you can't get the cookie simply because you made it longer in inches! It has to be the longest in what you wrote, and the most helpful. Duh. You're the coolest and all...but sorry man, that was cheap! Lol. See ya later.
Krazy Kay- aw, wow, thank you. Your so sweet.

On with the story, and thank you to all my reviewers.

Freddy wiped the sleep from his eyes, and he and Summer continued to look for Zack. They were on the first floor. They'd started on the fourth, and worked their way down. They'd been trading calls all night with Eleni and Katie, but so far Zack was still missing. Eleni and Katie. He'd yelled at them a couple hours earlier, if he remembered correctly. He sighed, and wondered how mad they were at him.

"So how badly did I ream into them?" he asked Summer, not looking at her.

She winced. "Shall we just say they were on the verge of tears?"

He sighed, and was about to respond when his cell phone rang. "Hello?"

"Hey Freddy, it's Eleni." She said. She sounded tired, and worn. "We found Zack." She said apprehensively.

"So, what's wrong? Take him back to the room."

"It's not that simple Freddy."

"Why not?"

"Well, he's in the bar...and he's drunk."

Freddy took the phone away from his ear and stared at it.

Eleni and Katie were searching the sixth floor, and were growing tired. Then they passed the lounge, where the bar, the restaurant, and the piano room were. Eleni glanced at Katie. "Why not." Katie said, to Eleni's unasked question.

They opened the doors, and headed in. At first glance, it appeared that Zack wasn't there. They took the piano room into the bar. They didn't think he'd actually be there, but what would it hurt to look? Upon further inspection, there was a brown haired boy of about 17 sitting at the bar.

"Oh god." Katie heard Eleni say. "Tell me that's not Zack." Apparently, the blood rushing to Katie's ears muffled Eleni's voice, and it was really louder, because Zack turned around upon hearing his name.

"Katiee.......Elni....whashup?" he asked. They glanced at the bar in front of him, and saw quite a few empty glasses. He frowned upon hearing neither of them answer and turned back to the bar, loosing his step a little as he did so. He put his hands on his arms. "She doosn't love me." he slurred quietly.

"Who does love you Zack?" Eleni asked, rubbing his back a little.

"She!"

"Who's she?"

"You know 'oo she's." Eleni's hand moved in rhythmic circles on his back, faltering slightly as he relayed this bit of information.

"How do you know she doesn't love you Zack?"

"She's lovesh Freddy. They are sore matesh."

"Sore matesh?" Eleni asked, confused. Neither she nor Katie had much experience trying to translate drunk to regular English.

"Teyr meant to be togefer."

"Soul mates?"

"Sh'what I shaid."

Eleni sighed. "I'll be right back, ok? Don't order anymore drinks." She stood up and headed over to Katie. "Watch him, I'm going to go call Freddy and Summer."

She left the bar, and Katie sat down next to Zack. "Who served him?" She asked the bartender.

"I did." A pretty looking girl about 22 walked over to her.

"And you didn't card him?" she asked disbelievingly.

"He said he was 22." The waitress shrugged.

"He's 17, and you didn't card him?" Katie asked again. "He probably came in here, looking like his best friend just died, and you didn't card him?"

"I figured he'd need something to take the sting away."

"What sting?" she asked. The waitress shrugged again, turning back towards her work. Katie sighed.

"Oh Zack, why are you doing this? We have to perform tomorrow." He glared at her. Or...glared as well as he could being drunk.

"Sh'what you careshabout don'choo."

"Zack, I care that one of my best friends is in a bar, drunk. But, you did it, not me, and tomorrow your going to have to deal with what looks like a very nasty hangover. Then we'll talk." Zack looked like he was trying to say something but he was interrupted by Eleni bringing Freddy and Summer into the room. Freddy immediately went to his best friend.

"Zack are you ok?" he asked.

"Freddy...look Elni ish your coushin."

"I know Zack." Eleni responded quietly. He squinted at her, as if he was trying to detect sarcasm.

Freddy smacked Zack on the cheek a couple of times, and then lifted his arm over his shoulders. "I'm taking him back to the room, Eleni you're going to grab your clothes, then bring mine. I'm staying with him tonight." He headed out of the bar, leaving the girls staring after them.

Well, what'd you think? I know that my drunk talk wasn't the best....but I've never actually heard/seen/been a drunk person...so I did the best I could. Now, lets see....the winner of the longest most helpful review this time gets....gets....gets....gets...a really cool hat. Who wants a really cool hat? raises hand I know I do! Again thanks to Chinsky, because she (at the same time as she did before) gave me the idea for this chapter. We were wondering out loud what should happen, when lo and behold. So thanks to Chinsky. And on a side note, did anyone see Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban? Definatley not one of their better movies. For my review, the cookie goes tooo...........Flatfoot-92 and Brooke. I'm off to watch the Tony's. Aw, Kristin looks so cute in her bubble.... So review, porfavor.
