Things are Best Lived in Miami

A/n: I'm updating because I tried out for basketball...and I made 1st cut. YAY ME!!! Okay. I'm going to update all my stories. So if I make the team then I'm going to update two chapters for every story.

Chapter Two – Flashbacks


::They're on the plane::

Katie, and Summer were sitting in the same row. Katie had taken the window seat and Summer in the aisle.

"Summer are you going to ignore Zack the whole trip to Miami?" Katie asked.

"I don't know..." Summer reached in her pocket for her charm bracelet but couldn't find it.

"...Katie I can't find my charm bracelet Zack gave me." Summer said, franticly looking through her pockets.

"Why don't you ask someone who might have seen it?" Katie suggested while looking through a magazine.

"Good idea." Summer got up and walked to everyone, receiving either, 'No sorry, or Did you ask... Summer went to Zack.

"Hey." She said with a little fear in her voice. Zack looked up, gave a weak smile, than looked down. He had his hand in his pocket fiddling with the charm bracelet, especially the hear charm wit the inscription that said 'likes'

"Hey." he said sadly. He remembered when her first gave her the bracelet. It was kind of funny...well to him at least...okay maybe it wasn't that funny.


Flashback Zack's P.O.V.

I looked at the pool than to Summer.

"Happy Birthday Summer." I said nicely as I grabbed her hand. We sat on the edge of the pool and she stopped making little circles in the water with her foot.

"Thanks Zack." She smiled warmly at me. I feel like if I fell in to the pool, the coldness of it all wouldn't get rid of the heat I was feeling.

I let go of her hand, and looked at her face than back to the pool. Katie and Freddy were playing chicken with Lawrence and Marta. I smiled.

"Here's part A of your gift." I took out a small box and handed it to Summer. I watched her open it with extreme carefulness. She looked in to my cruddy gift tha I gave her. She was about to look up when someone pushed us in to the pool with Summer throwing the gift on to the tiles of my pool.

I sank to the bottom of the ten feet part of the pool with my eyes closed. I opened them and raced up for air. When I got up there I was taking big gasps of air.

Then it hit me.

"SUMMER!!!"I franticly looked around. I knew Summer couldn't swim. Why did I ask if we could sit on the edge of the deepest part of the pool. I dived right back down in hope I could find her.

There she was and there was Marco. I glared at him while he held on to Summer. Summer struggled to get free. I couldn't take it anymore. I pushed him away, and grabbed Summer by the waist. I felt a tug on my foot, I looked it was Marco glaring at me. I kicked him off me and continued to swim for I was loosing air, and I knew Summer was already out of air. I just hope I make it before... I gulped.

We finally reached the top and I ,once again, took big gasps of air. I pulled Summer on to the tiles were once sitting on before we were pushed. I laid her down and put my ear to her chest. Her heart beat was faint. I gulped once again.

"YOU GUYS WE NEED HELP NOW!!!" I knew it would take a while, so I did what I had to do. I knelt down farther, opened her, plucked her nose and gave mouth-to-mouth. I did the steps for about a minute or two, before she coughed up more some water, and began breathing.

"Zack..." I heard say in a small voice.

"Summer your alive." I hugged her so hard that she coughed up some more water.

"Thank you Zack. But I had the weirdest dream, I dreamed that Marco was like pulling me down or something. I was struggling underwater and you saved me." She said shaking her head in my shoulder.

I pulled away from the hug and stared at her. I wasn't sure if I should tell her or not. I decided not to just in case, instead I kissed her.

I didn't know what I was doing, but I did it. I felt a great big surge of lighting burst through me. It felt better than all the gigs, we have ever played. It felt better when I FIRST played in School of Rock. I, Zackary Mark Mooneyham was kissing Summer Sarah Hathaway. But the best part was that she was kissing me BACK!!! I pulled her closer by wrapping my arms around her waist as I felt her arms around my neck.

We finally pulled apart and literarily pulled apart. It seemed that all the guys, excluding Marco, were patting me on the back. I had no idea why, they just did. I looked toward Summer.

All the girls were hugging her for, god knows why. None the less I smiled. I walked away from them (the guys) and I looked down at where the charm bracelet might have been. I spotted it and picked it up. By now everyone was back to who knows what, as I found a lawn chair near the grill.

I saw summer come walking by and thought she was going to take a seat next to me. Boy was I wrong. She sat right in between my legs, and laid her head right on my chest.

I gulped. I seemed to be doing that a lot now.

I held out the bracelet and handed it towards her.

"You thought I forgot, didn't you." She said to me. I simply nodded since I couldn't find my voice.

"Zack..." She started.

"...I've been wondering about...." I gulped AGAIN. It's about the kiss I know it is.

"...part B of my gift." She said looking at the charm bracelet. I sighed, then gulped again. Part B.

"It's on part A." I said. She looked at the charm bracelet.

There was a guitar just like mine and on the back it said Zack. After that was a heart, with 'likes' on the back. Next was a Sun with her name on the back. The last charm was different. it was a small band set, with a drum, a guitar, and a bass, it said 'please say yes'.

"I get the first part, which I find really cute, but 'please say yes?" She asked me.

It means, please say yes when I ask you to be my girlfriend." I said giving her the best smile I could, which wasn't that great since she was sitting in between my legs.

I closed my eyes. Why would she want a guy like me? I'm just a guitar player. I'm not even that good looking.

She hugged me and I hugged her back.

"Yes." I heard her say so softly I could barely hear it.

I looked down to her to meet her nice brown eyes smile back at me. I smiled and kissed her lightly.

End Flashback Normal P.O.V.


"Zack...Zack did you hear me?" Summer said waving a hand in front of his sad face.

"Huh, what?" He said confused on what was going on.

"I asked, 'Did you see my charm bracelet you gave me?'" She said with her hands on her hips.

"Uhh...yeah. I have it." He pulled out the mentioned item and gave it back.

"Why do you have it?" she asked one eyebrow raised.

"It fell out of your pocket, so I picked it up." He said.

"Freddy do you mind switching places with me for now, it's right next to Katie." In an instance Freddy got out of seat and sat behind them, and next to Katie.

::Freddy and Katie::

"Uhh...hi?" Katie said cautiously.

"Hey, Summer and I swapped places for now. I bet ten bucks Zack is going to flake out and start to make out with Summer." He said putting his hands behind his head.

Katie laughed.

::Zack and Summer::

"Zack if you saw it fall out, than why didn't you give it back in the first place." Summer asked.

"'Cause for three reasons: One, you were seriously pissed at me. Two, you wouldn't talk to me, and three you seemed to have fun with Marco." He said crossing his arms across his chest.

"Zack were you jealous?" Summer said with a sly smirk on her face. he turned to face her.

"Me?!? Jealous?!?! Psh..." Summer continued to smirk as she moved the armrest that was in between her and Zack. His arms were still crossed over his chest and his head was turned the opposite of her.

She crawled on to of his lap with her legs taking over the space she was sitting in.

"You were jealous, weren't you?' She said as she started rubbing his arms which caused the to fall to his sides.

"No, I wasn't." He said looking down on her. She began circling his chest.

"Did you know you're more muscular than when you first joined School of Rock.?" She said tracing the muscles on his chest.

"W-what?" He said sort of shocked at the randomness.

"Yeah. Tell me were you jealous?" She said taking off his sweater, which revealed his black t-shirt. Zack leaned back.

"Yeah, sort of." He said encircling her body with his arms.

"I thought so." she said still going over his muscles.

"So, I take it your not mad anymore." He said looking down on her. She smiled and kissed him.

"You better believe it." She said when they parted.


A/n: That chapter was really fun to right. Phew. I'm tired. it's not that late but like I said I had tryouts and I was tired when I came home. So anyways. Basically it's a flashback on how Zack and Summer got together. Also I don't think Zack is ugly. I think he's kind of cute. smiles
